A correspondent of the baths of St. Gervais, of
Savoy, writes on the 21st:—".The Duchess of Orleans
is still here, but the young princes are absent on an
excursion to Annecy. We have been three days
without a post, owing to the torrents of rain, which
have caused the road from Geneva to be quite imprac-
ticable—as much as eight feet deep of water at a place
called Bonneville. You cannot imagine the destruc-
tive effects of the weather in this part of the country
—they are quite painful to see. Numberless small
houses have been swept away, and the fields situated
on the sides of rivulets and small rivers are destroyed
and rendered unfit for cultivation for the future, from
being now covered with avalanches of earth, large
trees and stones of immense size carried down by the
raging force of the waters from the mountains. The
poor inhabitants will this winter be in great misery.
The Piedmontese papers are fined with accounts
of inundations that have occurred in different parts
of the kingdom. The province of Ivrea has suffered
immensely; most of its roads are under water, and
many bridges have been carried away. The waters
of the Dora have committed great ravages in the Tab.
ley of Aosta , and accounts from Castellamonte, of
the 20th, state that all the streets of that town are
under water.

A monument to Titian was inaugurated at Venice
on the 17th. The civic, ecclesiastical, and military
authorities were present at the ceremony. The
monument represents Titian surrounded by the Fine
Arts • below are figures representing the XVth and
XlXthe centuries. The basement is adorned with five
bas-reliefs; representing as many celebrated paintings
of the great artist. The monument is due to the
chisel of the brothers Zandomeneghi.

MININ G INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There has been more activity displayed this week in
the share market, and a fair business doing in dividend
mines, though with no material variation in price, ex-
cept :South Frances, which have sprung up to 165;
Wheal Brewer to 29 and 30. United Mines are at 850;
Basset, 530. In Beford, Alfred Consols, Merllyn, South
Tamar, West Providence, and Tremayne, business has
been transacted at steady prices. In speculative shares,
the preponderance of sellers naturally causes a fall, which
has been, in some instances, submitted to, to effect sales,
and still there are few buyers to be found inclined to do
business at the present quoted rates; in fact, we hear of
prices much under. In Cornwall, East Tolgus shares
have advanced to 351.; Wheal Clifford (which_ joins
United Mines on the east), from 2001. to 3001.; North
Pool to 2201.
