caught a severe cold, which brought on a long and pain-
ful illness. She was attended by several eminent medi-
cal men with littleor no benefit, and ultimately an ab-

having failed to give her the slightest relief, she deter-
mined on using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and

before enjoyed.—Sold by all druggists, and at Profes.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(Front the Mining Journal of this clay.)
We have to report this week a fair average amount of
business in dividend stocks. In a few progressive mines,
some of which are considered to have good prospects,
and only require a little more time and money to develope
their resources, shares have been forced on the market.
and sold for less than half their market value a few
months since—the fact appearing to be that the owners
had determined to sell at any sacrifice, rather than sub-
mit to further " calls." Too many people who enter
upon mining speculations look for great and profitable
results immediately they purchase ; and if they are dis-
appointed, rather than wait, they get rid of their shares
at a loss, and leave it to those who have more patience
to reap the advantages when they do occur. This has
been, in some measure, exemplified this week in Wheal
tiny, Pen-y-Gelli, and other shares. The great advance
in labour and in the price of materials, to which we
called attention some time since, has not only reduced
the profits of dividend mines, but greatly increased the
costs, and, consequently, the calls on speculative mines;
and it would appear advisable just now to stop all ope-
rations in the latter which do not pay, or are not abso-
lutely necessary.
In the Metal Market, as we have continued to augur
for many weeks past, a general and further advance
must inevitably take place, and that quickly. The
numerous opportunities given us of knowing what the
actual stock and make is from every quarter enable us to
see somewhat a-head, and furnish, by calculation, what
may almost be considered as the most probable and true
state of the various metal markets.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Aug. 26.—We have no change to report in
the state of the woollen cloth market. There is a steady
good trade regularly doing. The markets on Saturday
as well as on Tuesday were of a fair average character,
and about an usual amount of business was done. There
have also been several heavy deliveries of cloth during
the week direct to the merchants' warehouses. Stocks
continue within a very moderate compass ; and although
the markets have had a good supply of fresh goods this
week, yet there is not any apparent augmentation. The
trade in the warehouses continues in a good and satis-
factory state ; about an average business for the season
has been done this week, principally for the home mar-
ket.

HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market continues without al-
teration, the supply being barely equal to the demand.
Prices much the same. _ _ _

ROCHDALE.—We have had but a poor market to-day,
being the wakes, which generally interferes with busi-
ness. English wool is very firm, and rather more in-
quired after.
BRADFORD.—There was on the whole scarcely an ave-
rage amount of business doing. The trade is spoilt by
being so very good, because its extraordinary extension
during the last four years has outstripped the supply of
all kinds of raw material—wool, especially English wool,
cotton, and oil ; and the consequence is, that parties
find considerable difficulty in realising a profit. Manu-
facturers who buy their yarn are considered to be in the
best position. Colonial wools, which are, in proportion
to their quality, the cheapest in the market, are more
sought after.
HALIFAX.—We have no change in the piece market ;
there is better demand for yarns, and prices exceedingly
firm. In long wools there is a pretty fair business
doing, and prices are fully supported. Higher rates are
being paid to the growers, and it is rather expected we
shall be a little dearer here than otherwise ; at present
the current prices in the market are far from commen-
surate with those in the country.
TRADE OF LEIOESTER.—The demand for the home
market, has been dull this week. Continental orders
continue to arrive, particularly for shirts, drawers, and
fancy hosiery.

VICTORIA DOCKS.

Thursday the annual general meeting of this company
was held at the London Tavern. Charles Morrison,
Esq., took the chair.
Ater the reading of the report, which has already
been published,
The CHAIRMAN said, they had obtained an act of Par-
liament authorising them to complete the objects of the
company. Although they had the additional power of
issuing 100,000 new shares, yet they were not compelled
to do this unless they thought proper. Much benefit
would accrue from the construction of vaults, the charges
for stowage being exceedingly high, and they might be a
great source of revenue. The same reason had deter-
mined them to make a first floor. They had also agreed
to the construction of a tidal dock. The alteration of
the capital from 400,0001. to 800,0001. had been effected
by the issue of new shares. The arrangements made
with the contractors gave them to the Ist of December,
1854, for granting the lease, and they would also receive
payment of 5 per cent. on the enlarged capital and an
equal division-of surplus profits. Mr. Waddington had
resigned his seat at the board, but not from any diminu-
tion of interest or confidence in the concern, but his
own affairs rendered it impossible to give the required
time and attention to those of the company. They had
offered 5 eer cent. interest on all calls paid up in ad-
vance, which privilege had been freely exercised. The
same offer would be extended also to the new shares as
soon as possible.
A PROPRIETOR expressed much satisfaction at the re-
port, and thought their interests could not be better
forwarded than by being associated with those of Messrs.

SUICIDES IN PARIS.— There have been a great num-
ber of suicides in Paris during the last fortnight. Like
most of the suicides in France, they were effected by
the fumes of charcoal, by dr.rowning, or by precipitation
from windows. The cases o. self-murder by hanging, by
firearms, or by the infliction of mortal wounds by sharp
instruments, are comparatiTely very rare.

HYTHE.—The town council of this borough, are
making great eflbrts to place this town in that position
as a watering-place, to which, from its favoured locality
it is so justly entitled. The Lords of the Treasury have
sanctioned the sale of a considerable quantity of the
corporate land, for the purpose of raising funds to erect
bates, and carry out other sanitary improvements in
the town. The government having purchased nearly
200 acres of the corporation land, it is intended to make
Hythe the depot for the Minie rifle ball practice. The
necessary buildings are now erecting, and the land is
preparing, and as the Chobham encampment is now dis-
banded, it is expected that in the course of the present
week 15 or 20 officers, with a corresponding number of
privates and. non-commissioned officers will arrive to
commence tlie.ball practice.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Journal des Debats contains a letter from
Prince Ghika, dated Jassy, the 14th inst. The
Prince contradicts certain rumours which have
been published respecting him and his relations to
the Porte. He says, that having been desired by
the Russian authorities to suspend his relations
with the Porte and to stop the payment of the tri-
bute to the Sultan, such acts being incompatible
with the occupation of Moldavia by the Russians,
he merely transmitted the letters containing these
instructions to the Ottoman Cabinet, without any
remarks of his own. He adds that, according to
his opinion, the question involved in the Russian
demands lay between the two Courts, and that he
himself was altogether incompetent to decide on
the subject.
