MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLorx.
Business in the mining market to-day is moderate
in amount. East Wheal Russell shares are inquired
for and have been dealt in in the Stock Exchange at
121. North Basest are marked ss. Otherwise,
attention has been chiefly confined to shares
in Boscundle, North Robert, North Roams:, Wheal
Grenville, East Grenville, and North Downs Mines.
Foreign mining shares are inactive, and Colonial
steady. Great Northern Copper (South Australia)
have been dealt in at and 3 prem., and North Rhine
Copper at i prem.
The recent very important improvements in North
Roskear, was first met with in breaking Pearoe's
shaft from the 164 fathoms level to the 174 fathoms
level. The lode had been allowed to stand
for seven fathoms in height, and when
taken down, was found to be worth for all the dire
tame over 801. per fathom. It was subsequently
cut in the 174 fathoms level, worth also 801. per
fathom. This level has been let to drive
west from the shaft at a tribute of 2s. 6d.
in 20s. As soon as the level has been driven clear
of the shaft the shaft will be sunk under the 174 in
a course of oopper ore of equal value to that
standing above. The ore ground standing above the
174 in the ends of Pearce's shaft can be rapidly
worked, and at the next sampling the manager
calculates to sample from this part of the mine
1,2001. of copper ore.
The first anneal meeting of the Scottish Australian
Mining Compaq y is celled for the 13th inst.
The Vele of Towy Mine sampled, on Saturday last, ores,
computed at 70 tow.

membered that at the October session of the Central Criminal
Coen, a Brazilian mama, of the name of Charles Anne's, wee
convicted of the murder of the captain of s vessel in which be
was employed .a cook, and hit for execution. The circum-
stances under which the dreadful act was committed were
such as to lead to a strong impression that the prisoner was
in a stabs of insanity at the time, and that be was conse-
quently not criminally responsible; and Mr. Sleigh, the
counsel for the prosecution, felt so strongly epos the point
that he nods ea earnest representation of his view, of
the owe to the Secretary of Stale for the Some
Department, the result of which was that the esecution of
the saatence wpm implied for a fortnight, fa order that
inquiries might be made with regard to the state of Wad of
the prisoner at Lisbon, at which place he shipped on hoard
the nese) where the offence was committed. Another
respite kw a month was subsequently sent to Mr. Jews, the
memo, of thereto, and a further respite was on Saturday
received, postponing the execution of the sentence to the
26th of April. In this further respite, as in all the
however, the authorities of the prison are expressly d=
to inform the prisoner he must not acsaider hie life will be
spared, and that it wM domed estirely upon the result of the
inquiries that are still going on whether the sentence will be
carried oat or not. The prisoner has ocaduoted himself
ly well shies he bee bon in Newest*, end he Wm
xcfrequentlyl stated that he is ready to undergo the ammo at
