Respecting the movements in Mines Oaring the
week the Mining Journal of to-day says—
Money is easier and moro abundant, and there seems
to be an impression abroad that the Bank will, ere long,
reduce the rate of discount. Be this as it may, the past
week has been one of great activity in the Mining Market,
and everything looks fair for a continuance of a gocd
business in dividend and promising progressive mines.
Great South Tolgus shares have remained firm at 19 to ')0.
Wheal Margaret shares 66 to 674 ; Great Alfred shares
have fluctuated very much, from 61 to 6i, leaving oft at

The 11000u:its received ny the Foreign Minino
Companies during the week have been without
any particular interest. We notice, inter dies, of
less importance, th .t of the Alien, in whielt it is
stated that the produce for March will h• 2,850, in
value 4 401 dollars. The Linares were rising now
at the rate of from two to three ions per fathom
The Copiapo agent states that the produce for the
month • I M,..tch would be 2,850 quintals, in valu.,
of 4 500 dollars. The Checo mine was greatly im-
proved, It wits hoped that through the ar,stnge.
meats now made, the mineral industry of Chili
would receive a great impetus. Strathall y.l have
received notice of the arrival of 130 t.,ris of alv,r
lead ore. The Fortuna report is to tue effect that
in the Clavel wiriz. the lode in the bottom was
worth five tons of lead oro per fathom In Ur
sixth level west the lode was worth 2i tons, and
east three tons of lead ore per fathom.
Private advices just received from the silk pro-
ducing countries of the South of Europe, speak in
very cheerful terms of the probable result of the
crops. In Italy and France their appearance is
very promising, and there is no doubt, if the weather
continues genial, that the harvest will prove of an
average character. In Sp vita the yield is about
half an average, but this is encouraging, since las
year there was a total failure. The accounts fr,mi
the Levant are good. Under those circumstances
the market here, though ste,a,ly, is dull. Holders
are disinclined to pass s ties ut!til the resu•ts of the
crops are more clearly defined ; but if they want to
supply the mai-kat a reduction must be submit.

The prospectus has been. issued of the Ottoman
Railway, for the construction of a line from
Smyrna to tOdin The capi!al required for this
purpose is 1.200,000/, and the Sublime Porte guaran-
tees a minimum dividend of 6 per cent.
In the general Produce Ma;kats during the
week, a moierate business has been done. Very
few public sales of Sugar have taken plane. holders
evincing no disposition to supply thy, market, and
prices have advanced. Tae stock of this
article in London at the end of las,
week was 31,339 tons against 49 574 toils
at the cerrasoondieg perial of 1856. The
market for Coffee has presented a firm appear.
ante ; but the limited supply has &leaked opera-
titans. Peices have been at a slight advance
Cocoa has again been in good request, and a further
rise af Is to 2s per cwt. has ensued. Tea is dul ,
and Rice has also attracted little attention. Very
limitad pnrchascs have been made of Saltpetre.
and in some instances a decline of 61 per cwr.
has taken place. Spices are generally dull, but at
previous rates For Rum there has been a partial
inquiry, but holders being firm, prices arc main-
tained.

The public sales of Foreign and Colonial Wool
in London are progressing with greatef animation.
and the quotations realised show an improving
tendency, although up to this psriod no advance
has occurred. The series will terminate on the
29th i:!stant.

Trade in the manufacturing districts is rather
dull. At Leeds orders from the various country
towns have been more numerous, and rather
larger business had been done in the warehouses.
Trade. however, was far from brisk, and but little
change in prices can be quoted. There is no
alteration to report in the business done at Brad-
ford, Piece Goods and Yarns being still inactive,
and the dealings in Combing Wools were extremely
limited at about previous rates At Halifax there
bad been a rather hater enquiry for Wool and
Yarn at previous quotations, but the Piece Trade
ruled inactive. '[he demand for all kinds of
Cloths at Manchester was very limited, and sales
were effected with difficulty even at a slight re-
duction in prices.
The weather in the South of Ireland continues
favourable beyond anything experienced for many
years past, and the growth of plants is remarkalle.
Some plots of ground, which have southern
aspects, show vegetative powers that seem all but
incredible. Clover lands look well, and the early
meadows begin to wave with the long grasses.
In all these lands the spring is much
more forward than it was in the third week of May,
1856. The Potato crop will be later in the finish ;
but, from the rapid vegetation going on, it may be
quite as early in ripening as the average of the last
ten years. Markets for all descriptions of farm
produce have kept so well up this season, that the
more active ands enterprising of the agriculturists
were placed in ample funds, and enabled to put
their lands into condition ; and, consequently, there
were afforded greater facilities for the progress of
spring labour.
Further arrivals from Australia are hourly ex-
pected. The South Carolina has been at cea 111
days ; the Sydenham, 106 ; the Morning Star,
100 days ; the Medway, 93 days ; the Donald
M'Kay, 90 days ; the La Hogue, 89 days, &c.
Each of these vessels has gold on freight.

Tien CALIFORNIAN PEN.—The everlasting question "Is this
good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John
street, who has succeeded in prodneing a metallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a had pen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall, is fit for any hand to use (light or heavy), and
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used,—Northern Times. One

Beres.—one of the greatest domestic nuisances, especially in the
spring and summer of the year, is the previiletice of bags. Many
means have been tried to prevent or exterminate them, brit all
hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, bnt cannot eradicate
them. Mr. R. Greer,late one of the Liverpool sanitary officials, I
after intense study and deep research with many practical experi-
ments, in the usual pursuit of his official avocation, has at length
discovered the great deside 'Mum, " Greer's Patent Anti-flog Lotion,"
is an unfailing exterminator of hugs, fleas, &c. It is clean, simple
in application, agreeable in smell, and perfectly innoxious save to
insects. To be had at the Anti-Vermin Office, 49, Brownlow-hill,
Liverpool, in bottles at Is, 2s. and 4s each.—eidet.
AN INC,DENT or BALAILLkrA.—When the )Light Brigade was
preparing for action, the butcher of the 17th Lancers, who had just
barn performing his office, alaughtaring sheep and oxen, made his
appearance in the field, without coat or waistcoat, his shirt sleeves
roiled up, and his arms and face smeared with blood—a grotesque and
terrible figure. He mounted a powerful charger and rode up t) his
troop. He lied no business there, but the prospect of a bloody fray
was too strong to be resisted. He seized two sabres, deliberately
examined the temper and edges of the bladee, selected the sharpest,
and threw the other aside. He then, with equal coolness, took out a
short black pipe, charged it, lighted it, placed it in his mouth, and,
nettling himself on the caddie, rode with the ‘` SIX hundred " into the
Valley of the Shadow of Death. This man was seen amongst the
Russian batteries, saereing the gunners right and left, slaying with
his own hand at least six of the enemy, cutting his way in the retreat
through the swarms of Russian cavalry which vainly sought to inter-
cept t: e remnant of the gallant band, and, wonderful to relate, he
rode hack, sell smooking his pipe 39 coolly as if nothing had happened,
without having received a single scratch.
