The Bth inst., the anniversary of the Edict of
Nantes, is to be celebrated as usual by the descendants
of the French Protestant fugitives who settled at
Berlin when the edict was revoked, by a church ser-
vice. The anniversary of the decree of the great
Elector, by v,hich he gave them asylum from the
persecution of Louis XIV., is the 29th inst., and it
is celebrated iu a similar manner.

Thce.e who have been in Leipsic during one of
the, great fairs probably recollect the bands of
music that visit the city during the Mart ; it is not
a thing soon forgotten ; at all other times they are
excluded, bet during the fairs they rush in unre-
stricted, fill every court and passage, and perform
till they are bought off or exhausted. Why the
Leipsic fair music was so atrocious, while the German
street bands are generally so good, was till now a
mystery ; but it seems the bulk of them were only
speculations in noise. The police has been compelled
by the disturbance to insist on the bands undergoing
an examination before they are let loose on the public ;
if they are artists of the true inspiration they pass,
and their harmony is permitted; if they are only
pretender, merely " honest men, hut had musicians,"
they are silenced and turned back. The measure is
atbitrary, but well meant, and certainly justified by
the provocation.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)

Transactions dining the week have been chiefly con-
fined to the best dividend-paying mines, and those whose
prospects warrant the supposition that they will speedily
arrive at that state. Devon Great Consols have been
sold at 4001; Bedford United have advanced to 8/and
81103; Wheal Basi-et, 520/; Wheal Buller, 8001 and

creased samplings and payment of larger divi-
dends, in c i s quence of the improved standard
