The information in respect to Foreign Mining
Companies during the week is of an ordinary
character, and requires , little comment The
Nouveau Monde agent writes that the ore re-
turned in the -month of 'ebruary at the San
Pantaleon Mine was Upwards of nine tons. He
had forwarded 60 bags of best ore to Yxabal 'at a
freight of Us..a bag, and was eXpecting mules to
take down the other AO tons in the course of a few
days. Mr. Thomas writes from the mines to the
Strathalbyn Company th'at if the jack ore could be
smelted, and leave a profit of £2 to £3 a ton, he
could commence operations at a profit to the ad-
venturers. The agent of the Port Philip Company
writes that he has put a stop to mining on the
company's Recolint, and was applying the ma-
chinery to (intuit crushing for other parties. The
Worthing Mining Company have received informa-
tion, in which it is stated that some of the mines
in the neighbourhood were resuming operations,
,which would make the company's freehold land
more valuable. In. respect to the Jamaica Mines,
the accounts were more satisfactory. The Aus
tralian papers state that the total Value of
gold shipped from the mines since the
discovery in 1851 was 50,000,000/. The
only foreign mining meeting held this week
has been that of the Acadian Charcoal iron Com-
pany, When it was shoWn that a good prospect
existed of theiron of the district (Nova Sy)tia) being
made serviceable for export,as an abundance ofwood
for charcoal was at hand- for smelting the iron.
The accumulation of prepared ore and. fuel at
the works was large, and with the iron .received,
amounted in value to nearly £B,OOO, Shipments
were now being made regularly to this country,
and found a good market. The accounts showed
total receipts 80,106 t, and total Coo ii3,4l2dt , leav-
ing a balance in hand of OIL s id.

The Ouly Joint Stock Companies meetings held
this week have been those of the Submarine
Telegraph Company, at which it was agreed to
allow the directors to dispose of the Hanoverian
Concession, granted to this company, to a foreign
body of proprietors, that would identify itself with
the Submarine Company, so as to prevent compe-
tition for the trade of the biorth of europe ; and
the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, where ti
dividend of .R 2 per share, together with a bonus of
lOs per share was declared.
During the past Week -very. little business has
been dose in the thanufactliriog ,iistricts. At Leede
no alteration whatever in prices can be quoted.
At Bradford business ruled very quiet, the holidays
having interfered with trade gen erally,Wools ,Yarns,
and Piece Goods having exhibited no change in
values. At Manchester business ruled very quiet,
and-the demand for home consumtion had sensibly
fallen off; but for export to the east all descriptions
df suitable goods were in good demand. The
spinners generally are fully engaged, at remunera-
tive prices. _ _ _

Trade in the North of Ireland during the week
has been quiet, but good. Some of the local firms
have completed transactions to a considerable
extent, and the aspect of affairs generally, is much
better than some weeks since. The enquiry for
white linens is not animated, and stocks have
increased, but holders look forward to .a brisk
demand shortly. BrowLs are pretty plentiful in
the several country markets, and rates are rather
languid. Ballymena, on Saturday, was well
attended by buyers, and a fair share of business
was transacted. Armaelf,'en Tuesday, was an aver•
age market; and at Lurgan more thkn the average
piantil changed hands. The bleachers are fully
employed throughout the district, and wages are
good, and employment plentiful. Yarns have an
upward tendency: Stocks low, and inqUiry be-
coming more active. Flax comes to market in less
quantity ; but prices have not undergone any ma-
terial alteration. At Derry there were about 25
tons forward. Buyers were plenty, and prices had
a decided upward tendency, the quotations being
—Coarse milled, 49s to 52s 6d;. middling, 54s to
57s 6d ; good, 59s 6d to 62s 6d per 1241bs ; hand-
scutehed, 40s to 47s per 1241b5.

FRENCH SPORTING—The. Journal de Tonnetre relates
an extraordinary scene which occurred in that town a few
daps agot ,A battue took place in the woods of Maligny
(Yonne), to destroy wild boars, which were committing
great ravages in the fields adjoinirg. Six of these animals
were start,,d out by the dogs and took to the vineyards
near, where, being met by some men at work, they sepa-
rated and took different directions. Two were pffrsued
and killed by the men, two escaped, and the other two ran
into the town and entered the court yard of a gent'eman,
named Camnenon. That person, and several friends, were
standing talking in the court at the time, and were not a
little aston shed at the visit of the savage animals, and
immediately ran to procure weapons. Ole of the boars
took refuge in a fowl house, while the other made a dash
through a window into a small room on the ground floor.
After soul- little delay, during which a number of persons
had assembled, the int( dopers were bah thspatched. They
were found to be both sows, and on their bodies being
opened one was found to have n and the other seven
young ones. Each of the atom .18 weighed from fifty to
sixty kilogrammes.
THE ATLANTiC TELEGRAPH.—The Agamemnon, which
has been devoted to the peaceful service of laying down a
part of the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable, is now
undergoing the necessary alterations at "Pertsmouth. Her
armament of 90 guns is being removed. the hold ,cleared.'
and her storage room increased. She is to be fitted will
frigate masts instead of her present rig of a line of battle
ship. It will be remembered that' this is the famous
Agamemnon, the flagship, which took up such a daring
and perilous position right in front of the united fleet
before Sebastopol,- and earned. such- glory for her com-
mander. On the other side of the Atlantic the Niagara
is, also undergoirg preparations for the same object.
She is the largest screw propeller in the world, not
even excepting the famous Himalaya. Her length is 345
Get, betimes 55 feet, and harden 5,000 tons. The Niagara
is one of that swift and heavily metalled ships whose qua.
lities have recently been subjected to so searching an inves-
tigation in the columns of the Times. There ate already
1,100 miles of the Atlantic cable completed, and upwards
of 2,000 miles of the gutta percha covered wire has passed
through the machines of the Gutta Percha Company. The
total -length of the deep tea portion of the cable is 2.500
miles. To this at each end will be attached the shore
portions, each about 30 miles long, and consisting of a
very strong and heavy cable, calculated to resist a vessel's
anchor or any casualty.
