MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(Prom the Mining Journal of this day.)
The transactions in shares this week have been rather
more numerous, but still the amount of business is be-
low the average. There is a great disposition to invest
in good mines, but holders are firm, and decline selling
even at advanced rates. In small shares there has not
been so much doing, and some of the gold shares have
not maintained their prices.
The Metal Market is without variation from last week ;
every description being in good demand at current quo-
tations.
In the Bullion Market,— Bar Silver, with gold,
ss. 11d, per ounce standard. Bar Gold, 775. 9d. per
ounce standard. Spanish Doubloons, 78s. 6d. per ounce.
Columbian Doubloons, 775. 6d. per ounce. Fine Eng-
lish Silver, ss. 6d. per ounce.
Business in the Gold Mining shares this week remains
in a quiescent state,and prices in the absence of demand
have shown rather a dwindling tendency. The shares
of the Agua Fria Company are still the best supported.
Advices have come to hand, both froni California and
Australia, of the increased yield of the gold fields in the
several districts, but still none of the companies formed
for working the auriferous deposits in those regions
have been enabled to afford any definite information to
their shareholders as to the operations which are sup-
posed to have been carried on at the various localities.
The silence of the superintendents has tended greatly to
embarrass the directors, and although, probably, the for-
mer may have nothing of interest to report, they have
shown a great deriliction of duty in withholding infor-
mation. Had a little more candour been shown on their
part, there is every probability that the distrust and
ill-
f„ now unhappily engendered would not have taken
place ; and this can only be dissipated by the arrival of
actual results from the various localities. The exports
of bullion in the past year for this country have amounted
to 21,196,6001. ; the largest items were to European
countries for supplies, and Australia in return for gold
dust shipped from that continent. Mr. Hargraves has
been voted by the Legislative Council of Now South
Wales 4,0001., in addition to the 6,000!. previously ac-
corded to him ; and a further sum of 1,000/. was granted
to Messrs. W. Tom, Jun„ James Tom, and John Lyster,
for their services in the discovery of gold in a subordi-
nate degree, In the course of the debate it was acknow-
ledged that the good resulting from the discovery had
more than counterbalanced any evil that had arisen
from the new phase which this important event had
caused in Australia.
In Miscellaneous Shares, business has been 'very

it will be decisive. If not so, then it behoves
to
.act. It is in her power to prevent a
war, which., once commenced,- will convulse the
whole hemisphere. To look on would be to en-
courade the flame, to interpose would be to extin-
guish it. Austria requires no new policy ; she has
only to follow her ancient political traditions,
which never led her behind Russia." Austria is told
that she will best show her friendship by restraining
her Northern neighbour. "It requires no little
courage, strength, and resolution to maintain the
peace of Europe just now, but a proper exertion of
these three qualities will certainly prove sufficient."
With a courage which excites astonishment, when
the position of the press in Austria is taken into
consideration, the policy of Russia towards Turkey
is denounced, as is her stolid obstinacy in refusing
to take advantage of the numerous opportunities
which have been given her of withdrawing with
honour from the dangerous path into which she has
entered.

A Constantinople letter, dated the 26th ult.,
states that both the English and French ambas-
sadors have recently received new and very decisive
instructions from their Governments. The French
ambassador has been empowered to offer to the
Porte an auxiliary force of 30,000 men, in case the
last proposals for peace be rejected by Russia. It
is said, however, that the Sultan will hesitate to
accept the offer of the French Government without
the perfect concurrence of England, from fear of
causing jealousy between the two Powers.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1854,

The responsibility of the present situation de -1
wolves now wholly upon the Russian AUTOCRAT.
It rests entirely with him to decide whether
Peace or War shall for the next few years be the
destiny of Christendom. For it'now appears that
the final propositions made to the Sublime Porte
by the Four Powers, through the medium of their
patched-up Conference, has been accepted by
Turkey, not partially or hesitatingly, but promptly
and entirely. Intelligence of this complete ac-
ceptance was received in Vienna on the 11th inst.
—on the 12th inst. it was despatched thence by
courier to St. Petersburgh, and would con-
sequently, by a reasonable calculation, ar-
rive by the 18th instant at its ultimate des-
tination, the Cabinet of the CZAR. and the
hands of NESSELRODE. It must be remembered
that this remarkable document will have been
heralded to the Russian capital by accounts of
the recent victories achieved by the arms of OMiR
EMMA, in Little Wallachia, as well as by
authentic information as to the entrance of the
combined fleets into the Black Sea, and of their
posssible appearance off Sebastopol. However
much these incidents may affect the temper
Of NICHOLAS, it must be obvious that his ulterior
decision must still be exclusively dependent upon
the nature and bearing of the ultimatum. convey-
ing to his Imperial MAJESTY, on the part of Tur-
key and her allies, in their definitive propositions.
Upon the nature and bearing of those proposi-
tions reposes the supreme alternative of the likeli-
hood or improbability of a reconciliation. Not
only that, of course, but gill more in the event of
a Peace being thereupon arranged, the honour or
the dishonour to France and England of the
evolved reconciliation.

CITY OF LONDON.

The revision of the list of voters for the city of Lon•
don was continued yesterday by Mr. T. Y. IVl'Chnstie,
in the Court of Queen's Bench, Guildhall.

OMISSION OF OVERSEERS.

Iu the parish of St. Olave, Silver-street, there were
three objections which had been duly served on Mr.
Brass, one of the overseers of the parish, on the 25th of
August. It appeared, however, that Mr. Brass, having
been served with these objections, quietly locked them
up in his desk, and forgot all about them. Being, how-
ever, communicated with about a week ago, in conse-
quence of the non-publication of those objections, he
commenced ransacking his desk and found the missing
documents, which he handed over to his colleague and
the ♦estry desk, but, as a matter of course, too late for
publication in terms of the Act of Parliament.
Mr. Lane, the vestry clerk, and the other overseer,
Mr. Brass's colleague, appeared in court, and justified
themselves by imputing all the blame to Brass.
The Revising Barrister, however, said he could make
make no distinction between them, and that he had a
good mind to fine all the three in the sum of 15/., which
would be Si. to each of them for so gross a neglect a
duty.

The objections were then gone into and allowed ; one
of the parties being dead, another in the police, and
another removed.

On Mr. Lane, the vestry clerk, presenting his bill of
costs connected with the registration, which amounted
to 3 guineas,
The Revising Barrister said after the irregularity of
which the overseers had been guilty in not publishing
the list of those objections he could allow them no
costs.

Farmers being busy in the fields, the supply of new grain
at market was not important. Wheat met a brisk demand,
and in some cases the best samples were 6d dearer. Oats
were not so eage, ly taken, and prices were rather in favour
of the buyer. Barley, bore, and rapeseed moved off at the
currencies of Fi iday. Higher rates were demanded for
Indian corn and foreign wheat, but no actual advance was

ARRIVAL OF FRENCH SHIPS.

Tho French ships of war Pursuivant and Sireno have
passed through the Downs for Cherbourg with French
troops for the Baltic. Tho Algerine, Trident, Duporre,
Duguescelin, Breslp, and Jomappes have left the Baltic
for Franco.

EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD THE EXCELLENT.
Rear-Admiral Berkeley,, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker,
lnd his assistant, continued their semi-official inspection of
Portsmouth dockyard yesterday, and in the afternoon they
rev isited the gunnery ship Excellent, Captain Sir Thomas
Maitland, to witness further experiments from that ship at
the iron plate target mentioned yesterday. Vice-Admiral
Sir Thomas Cochrane and Rear-Admiral Martin were
again present. Several shots struck the target, and the
iron plate was much indented, but none passed through it.
After firing several times the Admirals went in a boat
and examined the iron plate on the target, after which
they landed with Sir Baldwin Walker at the dockyard
and went to the Admiral Superintendent's office, after
which they left the dockyard. In connection with the
second target (alluded to yesterday) which is being con-
structed in Portsmouth dockyard, an eight-inch (95 cwt.)
long gun was yesterday placed on a stage alongside the
dockyard, and was towed out by the Beo tender yesterday
afternoon, to be moored for the next practice, which will
probably take place this morning.

COURT-MARTIAL.
A general court-martial was held yesterday at the Royal
Marine Barracks, Woolwich, for the trial of Richard
Davis, private, 20th company of the Woolwich division.
The result will not be made known until the proceedings
have been examined, and the finding approved by the
highest authorities.

PRIVATE AND JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

The Banker's Magazine furnishes the returns of circu-
lation of the private and joint-stock banks in England
and Wales for the four weeks ending the 2d of Sept.,
1854, and gives the following as the average weekly cir-
culation of those banks during the past month, viz. :

ORPHAN WORKING SCROOLS.—Yesterday the pupils
belonging to the Orphan Working School, Haverstock-
bill, were examined in the presence of a considerable
number of ladies and gentlemen. Mr. John Remington
Mills took the chair on the occasion, and the examina-
tion was conducted by Messrs. Saundars, Fitch, and
Alpass. 260 scholars belonging to the establishment, of
whom about 180 are boys, occupied four rows of seats in
front of the chair, and were examined in history, geo-
graphy, and arithmetic, in all of which branches of
learning they displayed considerable proficiency. They
also evinced an intimate knowledge of the Scriptures ;
and the readiugand writing were perfectly unexception-
able. The questions were addressed to the pupils gene-
rally, and though, as a matter of course, the same amours t
of information was not possessed by every individual,
yet the result showed that scarcely a single question was
put that did not receive from some one amongst them a
correct answer. The appearance and dem,: :,our of the
children were admirable, and, on the whole, the display
made by them was highly creditable to their instructors
and guardians.
London, England, 1854-09-28

FREEHOLD HOUSE SOCIETY.

Henry Ashford appeared, and claimed to be placed
upon the register, in right of one-twentieth share of
eight freehold houses, situate in different parts of the
parish of Bethnal-green.
Mr. Jones opposed the claim, on the ground that the
qualification was insufficient.
The Revising Barrister.—The claim is very similar to
that put forward yesterday by the " Long-shoremen"
of the Isle of Dogs. There can be no doubt that the
claimant is seised of property of the value for which he
claims, but the property is so split up and divided, that
he clearly has not a right to the franchise from it. It is
not sufficient that a man makes up a 40s. interest deri-
vable from several parcels of property situate in various
places, as in this case ; he must derive his freehold in-
terest from distinct property. The name must be ex-
punged.
The name and those of two other parties preferring
similar claims were expunged.

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.

A novel entertainment has been got up at Sheerness for
the amusement of the Russian and Finnish officers resid-
ing on shore here on parole. Some gentlemen of Sheer-
ness have undertaken to play a match of cricket on the
Nore Sand, between the Nore light-vessel and the Jen-
kin buoy, on Saturday next, the distance being within
their parole. Several yachts have been engaged for the

RUSSIA.

A letter from Kalisch of the 21st, in the Austrian
Lloyd, says :—" The second division of the guard,
under the command of Lieutenant-General Ofrosi-
moff, has left St. Petersburg, and it is confidently
stated is proceeding towards the kingdom of Poland.
If this news be confirmed, Russia evidently intends
to undertake with the troops of Poland a winter
campaign."
We read in the Milan Official Gazette of the
221 :—" Russia has returned within her limits ;
the statu quo ante bellum is materially re-ectab-
lished ; but that statu quo was a precarious state
for the peace of Europe in consequence of the nature
of the relations which then existed between Turkey
and Russia. To modify these relations conformably
to the conditions of a sure peace is thp question in
which France, England, and Austria and Germany
with her, are interested, and pledge themselves to
solve. Such will be the object of the negotiations
when the moment for them shall arrive. But, be-
fore negotiating, it is necessary to establish a legal
basis on which all the powers interested shall agree.
This basis has been laid down by the Western
Powers in the four preliminary points which Austria
has admitted and supported, but which Russia has
rejected. Austria has admitted and supported
them because she considers them as indispensable
to secure the peace of Europe, and as being at the
same time specially favourable to the interests of
Germany. Russia has rejected them, and it is for
that reason that the Western Powers engaged
against her push their warlike operations to ex-
tremities. We shall see in what they will end,
but under no circumstances can it be believed that
they will draw back or deviate."

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.

A novel entertainment has been got up at Sheerness for
the amusement of the Russian and Finnish officers resid-
ing on shore hero on parole. Some gentlemen of Sheer-
ness have undertaken to play a match of cricket on the
yore Sand, between the Nore light-vessel and the Jen-
kin buoy, on Saturday next, the distance being within
their parole. Several yachts have been engaged for the
occasion. The inhabitants, particularly the farmers, seem
to vie with each other who shall pay the prisoners the
most marked attention. Most of them yesterday were
entertained at the farm of Mr. William Coveney, of Min-
ster, within their limit of parole. Ho is one of the "Fine

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Sept. 24.--TelegraPhic intelligence from
the Crimea must reach here to-morrow or the next
day. To-day the news is so scanty and so unim-
portant that it is hardly worth sending. The in-
telligence of the successful landing of the expedi-
tion at Eupatoria on the 14th was received at Varna
on the following day, and caused much surprise
and rejoicing.
There was a rumour yesterday on 'Change that
the Russians bad suffered a defeat fr3rn the landing
troops, but there is no truth in it ; on the con-
trary, it is certain that the Russians retreated from
the coast by forced marches on Simpheropol. It is
confidently reported that they will maintain a posi-
tion on the heights from St. Crimea to Sebastopol,
the left wing between St. Crimea and Karrasu Bazar.
The Fremden Bladtt says that, according to au-
thentic intelligence, Prince Menschikoff was in-
formed that the intended lauding would take
place at Eupatoria, and that on the 13th more
than a hundred vessels of the armada were sig-
nalled on the heights of Eupatoria. Hence it
would appear that it formed a part of the plan of
operations of the Russians not to oppose the land-
ing, but to await the attack in a favourable position.

THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
October 4, 11154.—The General Screw Steam-shipping Com-
pany's screw steam-ship " ARGO," 1,850 tons, 300-horse power,
George Hyde, Commander, will sail from Southampton with her
Majesty's Mails for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and Sydney, on Wednesday
the 4th October, 1854, at Two o'clock p m. punctually. The " Argo,"
one of the fastest ships afloat, is justly celebrated for her last passage
to Australia, having made the run cut in 64 days, and home within
the same period. She is also the first steam-ship that returned to
;l gland via Cape Horn, thus accomplishing a voyage roue d the
world in 128 days. The vessels forming the superb fleet of screw
steamers of this Company, of which this ship is one, are well known
for the punctuality and speed with which t heir voyages are performed.
No expense has been spared in their construction, and the accommo-
dations which they efier to the pu,lic are ansurpas-ed. if equalled,
by any ships afloat. Rates of Passage Money vary, according to the
accommodation required, from 30 to 100 guineas. Full particulars
as to Freight and Passage may be had at the Company's Offices, 2',

prisoner and Audsley. His attention was called to the
fact that the latter had been stabbed in the thigh, and, on
going to visit him, he found him bleeding profusely. He
at once stopped the flow of blood, and had him immedi-
ately conveyed to the hospital, where he lay in a dan-
gerous state when he (witness) left.
Mr. Yardley—Have you got the knife with which the
wound was inflicted ?—Witness : No, sir. It is to be
sent over with some documents pertaining to the case by
the British consul.

Inspector Bolas—The captain told me, sir, that mor-
tification bad set in before the vessel left Leghorn.
Captain—l could not speak of my own knowledge as
to the fact, but suoh was the rumour.
Inspector Bolas said that a man who gave evidence on
Saturday, and who was a material witness, refused to
come up unless his attendance was compelled.
Captain—l have not paid that man, for had I done so
it is impossible to say when or where he could be found.
Mr. Yardley—You did perfectly right. I shall issue
a summons for his immediate attendance, and commit
the prisoner for trial. That witness shall be bound
over, and if necessary I shall order him to find sureties
for his api):arance.
The captain's depositions were then taken. He said
the prisoner was apprenticed to the owners of the ves-
sel, and the wounded lad (Audsley) was an ordinary sea-
man. He had been left in the hospital at Leghorn on
the 21st of July, suffering from a severe wound in the
thick part of the thigh, which was calculated to do him
serious bodily harm. Witness had had no conversation
with the prisoner on the subject since the occurrence
took place.
Shortly before the magistrate left the bench, Inspector
Bolas returned with William Brown, cook of the Ythan,
who said—l know the lad Audsley whom we left in the
hospital at Leghorn. In the latter end of July, I think
about the 25th, he ard I, and the prisoner, and others
were taking tea together in the forecastle. The pri-
soner had a pair of ragged canvas trousers on, and
Audsley laughed at him. I told the prisoner not to
mind it. He had a knife in his hand at the time, cut-
ting his meat, and I suddenly heard Audsley cry out
"I am struck." Seeing that he was bleeding profusely,
I called the master, who put bandages on the wound,
and Audsley was taken to the hospital. I said to the
prisoner, " This is a rash act," but he made no reply.
Inspector Bolas said the prisoner was handed to him
at Gravesend by a sergeant of local police there. When
in his custody he said, "I did stab the boy. I was
taking my tea, and ha took 'hold of me by the pri-
vates. I went to push him away and the knife went
into him."
The prisoner was committed for trial.

under the direction of her first lieutenant (Mr. Bacon),
