MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(Front the Mining Journal of this day.)
There is no favourable improvement to be noticed in the
Gold Mining Share Market. Nearly the whole of these
stocks have a downward tendency; and at present., though
some of the accredited still maintain a price, the general
impression is that, if sales were pressed, they could be put
chased at a heavy discount. The fluctuations in prices
which have occurred -during the week have scarcely been'
more than nominal ; and but few bona fade transactions
have taken place in this description of stock.
In Miscellaneous Shares, the market has been heavYl
and land securities have been rather weaker; but Crystal
Palace shares have shown an improvement—being active
during the week, and closing yesterday at 55
The principal business this week has been in a few fa;
vourite minus, such as West Basset, which were quote"
281. last week, but have now risen to 351., 371., (6,ooothe);
South Tamars, 101. to 101. 10s. ; North Basset, 14/, 100;
to 15/. ; West Alfred Consols receded to 221. 10s., and
afterwards advanced to 251., in consequence of another,
very favourable report. In Sortridge Consols a great
many transactions have taken place, the price being ve.o;
fluctuating, varying from 21. to 21. Bs. 5d.; and down viol
the notice of a meeting, at which a call may bo propose"
for the erection of a steam-engine, has brought a few sellers
into the market. Wheal Bassets have been much inquired

THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH UNION FESTIVAL.'"
LIVERPOOL, Friday.—This afternoon a meeting, non;
vened by circular by the Mayor, was held in the eounvp
chamber at the Town-hall, for the Purpose of deter'
mining on the course to be adopted by the town in re'
spect of carrying out the national festival in celebratioa
of the union between England and France. The meet'
ing arose out of the visit of the deputation—SLlT
Joseph Paxton and Mr. Alderman Moon—from the
committee formed in London. It was most numerousli,
attended, and the warmest interest was evinced
throughout the wfole of the proceedings. ' Tl2B
Mayor, J. D. Lloyd, E-q., presided, and, in opening
the business, he descanted at some length upon the
union which had recently taken place between the
two countries, and expressed a hope that this demonstra:
tion would cement the friendship now existing, and teal
to extend commerce, besides securing a lasting peace.
•He explained that the meeting was not to decide the
desirability of making such a demonstration, but merely
to express itself as willing to co-operate with the metro-
politan committee in the matter, for it was already de'
tided that an invitation should be sent to France'
Other gentlemen spoke in warm terms of the moveme°4
and as a heading to the• list of subscriptions, the Mayor
put his name down for 50/, Resolutions approving °,
the demonstration having been unanimously passed,
numerous other subscriptions were added, so that Lie!"
pool is likely to take a prominent position in promoting
the object in view.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.
—Au accident, which was attended with fatal conse;
quences, occurred on Wednesday night to Mr. Edward
Charles Luard, son of the Rev. Mr. Luard, of Winter"
slow rectory, near Salisbury. It appears that the 120"
fortunate gentleman was on his way from his father's
residence (which place he left on Wednesday evening) to
London, but remained at Southampton, for the purpose
of paying a visit to Mr. Selway Brown, of Cumberland'
villa. Having some friends -leaving by the Jersey boat,
which takes her departure from the pier at twelve
o'clock, he was hurrying towards the spot, and from the
dense darkness of the night, rendered more dangerous
by the very insufficient security against accident which
is placed round about the quay, the deceased fell over
into the water. His cries were almost immediately
heard by some Cuitom-honse officers who were stationed
on the quay, but unfortunately it was found impossible
to render assistance sufficiently quick to preserve life'
His body was afterwards recovered, and immediateli,
conveyed to the workhouse, where an inquest was held
this morning. Colonel Luard, uncle to the deceased,
after giving evidence to the above facts, stated that he
had visited the spot at which the melanchOly accident
had occurred, and he certainly considered that means
should be adopted to prevent the many accidents which
must naturally (from the very dangerous state of that
portion of the quay) take place to passengers, and more
especially to strangeis, and- hoped that such measures
would speedily be . adopted. The Coroner, in asking
the jury for their verdict, drew their attention to the
remarks which had fallen from Colonel Luard, and
stated'that he was sorry that' melancholy occurrences
of the kind now before them had frequently taken
place from the very cause which had been alluded to.
It had been the duty of juries on previous occasions to
notice the great absence of all security from danger to
passengers, and more especially strangers, at this por-
tion of the quay, and he was sorry to say that not the
slightest notice had been taken of the matter by the
pier and harbour commissioners. Accidents at one
time used to take place in the docks from similar cause',
but lie was happy to say that the dock company had
prevented many deaths by adopting his suggestions•
The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, acconv
pany-ing it with the hope that the coroner's suggestions
would be at once attended to.
EMIGRATION FROM GOOLE.—On Friday the Fullerton
left Goole for Australia, carrying, beside-a mixed cargo,
a few passengers of the better sort from the immediate
neighbourhood. The - Fullerton has been built by the
enterprising Mr. Banks, of Howden, who also sends out
;
the cargo (chiefly wooden houses) on speculation. Fc't
so long a voyage she is of small burthen (300 tons) ;
being clipper-built, and passed A 1, it is anticipated
that she will reach Melbourne in fourteen weeks. Last
year Mr. Banks built and despatched a similar vessel,
iv
the John Nussey, which, upon her arrival out, '
placed upon the Australian coasting trade.

SALON ICA, JUNE 13.
The French steamer Solon, Cap, ain Baron Rous-
sin, arrived here the day before yesterday from
Dafne, a port near Mount Athos. It brings news
that in consequence of the attitude assumed by the
new Greek Cabinet, Caratasso had capitulated to
Baron Roussin, with all his men, on the following
conditions, but without the intervention of the
Turks :

1. Djarni Caratasso and his followers, whom he stated
numbered GOO men, give up their arms and baggage iuto
the hands of Baron Roussin.

2. They are to be embarked at Dafne, on the 13th of
June, either on board the French steamer, or by a
tram-port, and to be taken to Caieis in the island of
Eubea.

3. On their arrival there, Caratasso, his men, and the
arms and baggage, are to be placed in the hands of the
Greek authorities.

The steamer came her&'purposely to inform the
Pacha of this event, bringing a letter from the
Turkish admiral to obtain coals, and a ship to take
off Caratasso and his followers.

As a good many Rajahs (subjects of the Porte)
are supposed to be amongst Caratasso's followers,
measures are being taken to separate them. Cara-
tasso left his Lieutenant Zacaropulo in the hands
of Baron Roussiu as hostage. This news has had
a very good effect, as it frees the neighbourhood cf
Salonica from agitation. It is also hoped now that
the continual passage of regular and irregular
troops through the villages will cease. The Solon
also carried the French consul of Sira, an English-
man, and three Greek agents, to Thessaly. They
are on a mission to Pappacosta, who exercises great
influence over the insurgents, and it is hoped that
he will be persuaded to retire with all his followers.
Letters which have just come in by the postal
steamer from Athens already announce that Pap-
pacosta, Bazaris, and Tzavella have recrossed the
frontiers and regained the soil of Greece.
