BRITISH MUSEUM.—Workmen have for some
time past been actively engaged in renovating that por-
tion of the Museum known as the Elgin Saloon, contain-
ing the valuable collection of marbles formerly the property
of the Earl of Elgin. The walls, which were of a dingy
stone colour, will now have the appearance of red gra-
nite, and so form a fine relief to the objects of exhibi-
tion. During the progress of the operation, those per-
sons in the habit of taking drawings and casts will be
temporarily deprived of that privilege, as the works are
covered up to prevent them from being splashed with
paint or otherwise injured.
MINE ACCIDENT.—A most melancholy acci-
dent occurred at Wheal Budnick mine, in Perranza-
buloe, on Saturday last, to a man of the name of Ni-
cholas Scobell, who was in attendance on the Stamp-
ing Machine, when his hand was unfortunately caught
between the cog-wheels. and crushed nearly to the
shoulder-joint. He was brought almost lifeless to the
Cornwall Infirmary on a litter ; but an operation has
since been performed, and we are happy to find tha
hopes are entertained of his recovery. The poor feel-
low is in very low circumstances, having six children,
and his wife being at present near her confinement.

MALT USED BY THE LONDON BREWERS IN
1839.—The total quantity of malt used by the public
brewers in London, in the year ending Oct. 10, 1839,
was 750,172 qrs., being an increase of 7,574 qrs. over
the year preceding : of which increase, one brewery
alone, that of Barclay, Perkins, and Co., amounted to
7,372 qrs., and the whole quantity brewed by that esta-
blishment in the time before stated was 114,817 qrs.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, DEC. 13.--The
transactions in our sugar-market are hardly worth notice.
Good qualities maintain their value, but low and mid-
dling are hardly saleable at anything like the nominal
market price. The trade, generally speaking, is dull
and deelining.—Mercury.
