MINES.-THIS .DAY.

Two o'Ctocit.
Very little business is going forward in mining
stocks. Shares in North Basset have been dealt in
at 91; Wheal Harriet, 265. 6d. to 28s. ; East Basset,
94 ; Great Wheal Alfred, 6; Eut Cern Brea, 5;
and Hingston Downs, 3.
Mariquita shares are marked 17s. 6d., ex div.
Other foreign descriptions remain very quiet.
The prospectus of the North Rhine Copper Mining
Company of Sooth Australia, Limited, is issued.
This company is formed for the purpose of working
the North Rhine Mine, near Adelaide. The pro-
perty, which consists of 366 acres, is stated to con-
tain " one of the richest deposits of copper ore yet
discovered in this well-known mineral district."
The ore already raised, and a portion of which has
been received in England, shows from 28 to 33 per
cent. of pure copper. It is alleged that the
ore can be conveyed from the mine to
this country for 21. per ton. The nominal capital of
the company is fixed at 60,000/., in shares of 11.
each ; but it is anticipated that half that sum will be
sufficient to pay the purchase-money for the estate
(viz., 10,0001. in cash, and 10,0006 paid-up shares),
and leave an adequate working capital. Mr. John

In some of the other departments of the Stock Ex-
change the tendency of prices was rather drooping,
owing, in no small degree, to the continued and ex-
treme stagnation of business.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 981 to 1 for
the 7th December, were to-day alternately "buyers"
and " sellers" at 98 3-16, and were quoted at the
dose 98/ to 1. For money the last price was exactly
981. The of business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 981, 88, 981,
98/, 981 ; ditto, for account (7th December), 981,
981. Throe per Cents, Reduced, 961,1, New
Three per Cents., 981, 1,1; Long Annuities (ex-
piring in January, 1860), 11; Thirty Years Annui-
ties, January, 1860, 1 746; Indian Four per Cent.
Debentures, of the find issue, 991, 991; ditto of
the second lone, 991; Three-and-a.lialf per Cent.
Exchequer Boucle, falling payable in May next, 1001
1001.
The mining monthly settlement in Consols has
been fixed for the 11th of January. The clos-
ing quotation for that date was 981 to 4, or equal
to 981 to 97, ex div.
The debentures of-the first Indian Loan were
quoted this afternoon 991 to 1, and those of the
second issue 991 to 1.
Exchequer Bills remain very firm, and. are un-
usually difficult to buy. The March Bills woes
nominally quoted 365. to 39a. prem., and the June
33a. to 361. prem., showing in the latter instance a
further improvement of le.
In the foreign stock market the principal inqui-
ries were again for Peruvian stocks, especially the
Three per Cents. and Dollar Bonds, which have
farther advanced. There is no proportionate supply
of Peruvian Bonds in the market, and holders are
deterred Prom selling by the consideration of the
large amount of security, in the ships of guano, held
in this country, as well as of the large sums which
must be invested under the sinking fund next year.
The new Turkish Loan was fiat, the scrip of the
first series closing at fto din., and that of the
second series at Ito prem. The Six per Cents. of
1854 left off at 92 to 1. Portuguese Bonds were in
demand. Buenos Ayres, RUMS, and Sardinian
continue to meet with a steady inquiry.
The shares of the Great Ship Company, limited
(the buyer of the Great Eastern steam-ship), were
dealt in to some extent to day, and were last quoted
Lao 1 prem. The shares of the British Freehold
nd Company, limited, were quoted 31 to 4. These
w 101. shares, with 41. paid.

SWITZERLAND.

The affair of Mgr. Marilley, Bishop of Friburg, Is,
it is said, about to be brought formally before the
Swim Chambers. The government of Berne, it may
be remembered, objected to that prelate exercising
his pastoral functions in the capital of the Con-
federation, and the Papal nuncio remonstrated.
The executive council, in reply, pointed to the pro-
visions of the Concordat of Oct., 1848, which inter-
dicts the residence of the bishop on the territories of
Berne, Priburg, Neufchatel, and Geneva, on the
ground that his presence was Incompatible with the
maintenance of public tranquility.

Bret,—The lecture of the Rev. W. H. Brookfield
as public reading, delivered at the Kensington Museum, has

have for many years advocated by example we well se by

formation by members of the Temple for the purpose of pro-
viding this amusement.
Certain of us who have studied and practised the set will

hoped, procure the neosemary rooms for the audience. It is
proposed to admit the public at some merely nominal thane,

THE ROYAL VISIT TO CHERBOURG.

The members of the Hotuie of Commons who
purpose visiting Cherbourg in the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Pera, will dine on board that steamer at
eight o'clock tonight. The chief sawn is capacious enough
to dine 120 first-class passengers at one time.

Her Majesty's steamer Vivid will leave Southampton for
Cherbourg, with a portion of the Queen's household, at
1 p.m. to-morrow. Her Majesty will leave Cowes for
Cherbourg at mid-day to-morrow, or if the weather l•
unfavourable at 3 p.m.

Cowes last night looked brilliant, with Its immense fleet d
yachts lighted up just in the offing. Yarmouth, in the Isle
of Wight, is filling with visitors to see the starting of the
Royal Yacht Squadron for Cherbourg on Friday next. The
whole squadron numbers about 100 yachts. Several of the
yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron have left
Southampton Water for Cherbourg.

The fit;leette starts from Southampton for Cherbourg with
the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company and
their friends on Thursday morning. The Bemires, another
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, is also getting
ready for Cherbourg. The Argyle, steamer, which rune
between Southampton and a port la France, is rapidly
String up to start for Cherbourg from Southampton. It is
expected also that the Duke of Cornwall, steamer, will start
from Southampton for Cherbourg. Yesterday a telegram
was rewired in Southampton stating that the Etna would
start from that port for Cherbourg with the directors of
Canard's Mail Packet Company and their friends. These
steamers, with the Courier and Havre, will make eight to
leave Southampton to attend the Cherbourg flier.
The yachts Amazon, belonging to Sir John Welch;
the Titania, belonging to Mr. Robert Stephenson.
M.P., and the May Fly were to leave Southampton
for Cherbourg, in order to secure a good berth, and it is
expected they will cross the Channel under easy sail in ten
hours. The distance from Southampton to Cherbourg is
about eighty miles, but, owing to the tide in the British
Channel, the steamers will be obliged to go out of theft
coarse, and will have to run at least ninety miles. The
Pere, it is expected, will make the voyage in eight hours,
It is expected there will be nearly 400 sail anchored in Cher-
bourg roadstead, including men-of-war, merchant steamers,
sad yachts. The sight in the roadstead will be a most
imposing one.

EXCURSIONISTS FROM LIVERPOOL TO CIIER.
SOU RO.—Yesterday (Monday) the steamer Independence,
usually plying between Liverpool and Dundalk, left Liver-
pool for Weymouth, en route for Cherbourg. The Indepen-
dence took 134 paiesugers from Liverpool, and the charterer,
aspect the number will be 100 at Weymouth. The Inde-
pendence sailed in the face of a stiff breeze from the south
and a falling barometer ; so that many of the excursionists
will not find the commencement of their trip a yory pleaattr-
able one. They aspect to return to Liverpool on Wednesday
week, the expanses of the trip, including provisions, being
five guineas.

7181 l AT THE "HUN" NEWSPAPHR 07FIC8.

Last night, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, the utmost
confuska wee caused in the immediate neighbourhood of the
Strand, in conannimoe of • fin of rather • formidable
character breaking out in the 854 newspaper printing
:c, rg= office, situate at No. 112 in the bdore-
fare.
One portion of the premises, at the back neared the Savoy
Church, was exceedingly old, whilst the front had been re-
built a few years since. The discovery was made by a man
living in the house, who perceived smoke issuing from the
third floor back. Immediately over thine rooms was the
composing department, in which a great quantity of type
we. deposited, so that but tew minutes elapsed before this
part of the building became ignited. On ens aide of the
building are the premises of Mr. Lewis, writing muter, and
on the other side the patent cork het depot, and next door to
that was the Press newspaper omoe.
Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor of the paper, and
several other persons who were in the house at the time, were
driven oat by the names ; and not so ninth as • book or
other document in the upper part of the house has been
saved.

--Mr. Superintendent Durkin, of the I, division, and Mr.
Superintendent Walker, of the A dividoe, with a powerful
body of officors, came up almost immediately and stopped the
omnibuses acid other vehicles from proceeding along the
thoroughfare, by which many acoidents, which otherwise
must have occurred, were prevented, for thousands of spina-
tors rushed over the different bridges and lined the road te-
tardier of the danger they ran by the paring to and fro of
the engines.
With as little delay as peak Hurst arrived with the
parish engine, and was ably assisted by Spendelow,
the engineer of St. Ann's engine ; mensal othere
of the London Brigade, under the direction of Mr. Colt the
chief officer of the B • ..d. and that of the West of Eng-
land office, were also othily early la anteing, but some
minutes necessarily elapsed babe the pings of the fire-mains
could be drawn. The instead, however, that was done a
bountiful supply of water was procured, and the firemen
taking advantage of the earma they sat their machines to
work, and copious streams of the opposing stemeat were nat-
tered over the burning pile, the fleeces being coesiderably
assisted by thou or four of the Royal a escapee, by
means of which the Brigade and Wen of 1Q men were
enabled to direct the water to the seat of the Ire.
Notwithstanding, the work of continued, and
discoiind
from the upper floors the tames continued to descend until
three doors were entirely enveloped in flames.
By 11 o'clock the fire was pretty well got under, but the
damage done must be considerable , for according to external
appearances the three upper doors of the back building are
burned out, and two in front.
As to the cause of the disaster, not the least reliable infor-
mation can be obtained. We understood that the premises
were Inured, bat not to the tell extent.

DESTRUCTIVE PIRA IN FLEET-ISTRERT.
(71118 DAY.)

Between the hours of three and four o'clock this
morning a fire broke out on the premises of Meson. Paul
Jenard and Son, stationers and lithographic printers, situated
at 170, Fleet-wrest. The moment the alarm was given.
every exertion was made to rescue the inmates, end with
anomie. The fire, it seem., broke out in the printing-offics,
and, owing to the combustible nature of its content., it $OOll
spread to the part of the building need ma the fine-ati
gallery," which contained the most valuable pordag
of the property. The engines wive quickly in attend-
ma and got into play ; but so rapid was the
work of destruction, that the dwelling-house became
quickly enveloped in flames. Great fears were also enter.
Mined for the safety of the houses numbered 12,18, and 14, in
Red Lion-court (the two former behoging tb Mr. Kitchen,
publisher), and tie beck part of which have hem mere or ime
injured, if not destroyed, by fire and water, btaluding some ti
Mr. Mitchell's stook of books. The front part of the premien
No. 1, in the same court, and occupied by Mr. Macintosh.
Iskrnakw, has also sustained much damage. By sem
o'clock the Same* were extinguished. With regard to the
origin of the outbreak It is not passible at present to speak
with any degree of certahtty ; but, from Mr. Jerrard's Aster
meat, it appears that the printers were engaged to work all

. _
sight, and having retired for two houret; refresh the;
salves, left the gas burning, and it was then that the be
broke out. Mr. Jenard informed oar reporter that he le
tidy Insured for 1,0001, end that hie loss will, at the lowest
estimale, reach 10,0001. In addition to his own stock of
pinta, Ay., there were works of great valne on the preteens
beicsefog to others, and intrusted to him to execute. Kr.
lamed, who resides at Brixton, only arrived in London In
time to see his place gutted. Xr. Kitchell is fully htettref,
bat the kat to some of the pow taunts is diehiesing.

RUES CANAL.

The following letter (translated) has been for-
warded to us for publication :
" Constantinople, Hotel d'Angleterre, Jan. 20.
"My dear Sir,—l have road In tbe Tones the nature of
the question which ft is your intention to put to the First
Lord of the Treeing at the ensuing session of parliament.
It would appear, from the manner in which you have framed
it, that you ooneelve the French government to have taken

Weeder, or any other diplomatic agent, to apply to the
Porte for a flrman to author's) its eanotrnetion. I beg you
will permit me to acquaint yon with the true position in
which the question stands at present : Y. de Thouvenel has

"The project of the Suez Canal (Uke every other railway
or telegraph concession in the Often= empire, In which
private capital is embarked) has not been plead under the
patronage of France, 111/ I have already declared at all the
English meetings, of which a report has been published.
" Although I enjoy the honour of being a native of
France, and in this capacity have a claim to the protection of

It=in my private rapacity, as representative of

avoid giving rise to any political antagonism between the
two countries.

Ishallbriartl it as a great misfortune if this antagonism
were to oat at Constantinople in occlusion with the
question of the Suez Canal. I should, therefore, resolve to
claim the intervention not merely of France, but of a other
civilised powers, only in the event of the British Cabinet
framing an illicit opposition in a manner defined, and umin
takable, and which hu hitherto merely manifested itself In

a penny bank The average attendance at the day school
during the past year hem been 146, evening school 50, Sun-

eveningt schools are expressly for children engaged all day in
flower making, French poliehi ng, match factoriesotc.
In the industrial schools boys and girls are taught to make
and mend their own clothes, often in the most tattered con-
dition. There is a lending litres connexion with the
Sunday Schools, and it is in to notice that many
children who are unable to read for books for their
parent, to read at home. A tea meeting of 160 old scholars
and teachers took place in November Mat, the result of which
was very satisfactory. Water has been laid ea at the schools,
