dresses of iodividuds arrested in clandestine gambling
houses. In one of the last batches figures the name
of one of the parochial clergy of the capital ; but his

nverence,.say4 the Pais, pretended that he had gone
to convert sinners. Nevertheless the police took him
into custody.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
ENORMOUS INHERITANCE.—It is Laid in quarters
ly to be accurately informed upon the subject, that
Lieutenant-Colonel Gold. her M.jesty's 4th (King's
Own) Regiment, now,stationed at Portsmouth, will pro-
bably come into possession of the enorm( us wealth let t
by Mr. Charles Bullen, the late banker of Liverpool.
The property is said to amount to between five and
six millions sterling. We hope the rumour of the good
fortune that has befallen the .L!cutenant-Colonel may
prove to be well founded. He is an officer who enjoys
the respect of all who have the happiness to be under his
command.
STAFF OFFICERS OF PENSIONERS.—It is understood
that the Secretary-at-War has referred the memorial to
which we alluded last week to his Grace the Coin-
mander-in•Chief, with whom rests the solution of the
question of the apportionment of rank to the tubaitern
staff Officers. It is doubtful, however, if the Duke can
do anything in the matter, however willing he may be,
without the further authority of a special warrant. It
will thus remain with the Secretary-at-War to recom-
mend such warrant to her Majesty, and there can be
little doubt that Mr. Fox Maule will readily exert him-
self on this point. Ile never had a more deserving bJcly
of officers to serve.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The transactions in the Mining Share market have
prow d above the usual average amount, and much more
would have been done if sellers could have been found
at fair market prices. The advance in the standard for
copper ore, and the firmeess of the metal market, toge-
ther with the very general improvements which have
taken place in our leading mints, present a highly satis
factory and encouraging prospect for those who invested
when the market prices were quoted so low, and con-
tinued so for many months. In some instrqr.res shares
have advanced from 20 to 40 per cent. on the market
prices, exclusive of the dividends that have subse-
cpently bean paid. These results have created a consi-
dcrable degree of confidence in the mining intere,t_gpn..
rally, as to the safety of investments iu our leading and
legitimately managed mines.
Great Consolidated shares have been in reqaest at
late quotations, and done et our present. The mine has
made a profit of nearly 890/. for the last two months,
and is now stated to have very much improvt d.
Trelawny and Trthane are represented as having
improved, and buyers have appearr.d at advanced pries.
In Bedford United and Mendip Eills many shares
have changed hands.
In consequence of the very considerable-discoveries at
Treviakey and Barrier, in the 236 and 248 fm.
the shares have been sought for and business done at
advanced prices. Buyers are also to be found for South
Basset, North Pool, South Frances, East Wheallitose,
and other leading mine s.
The continued improvements at Birch Tor and:Vitifer
Mines have created considerable local inquiries tor these
shares, and sellers are firm at advanced price.
Tincrofts were much in dr mand yesterday, and some
business done at an advance on quotations generally
given.

- Shares in the following mines have been done during
the week: —Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose,
Tincroft, Great Consolidated Mines, Treleigh Consols,
Bedford United, Tr, awny, Mary Ann, South Wheal
Josiah, Trehane, Csmborne Consuls, S:ray Park, King-
sett and Bedford, Birch Tor and Vitifer, West Provi-
der ce, 'Tenni:telt Lead, Treviskey and Barrier.
At the Treviskey and Barrier meeting a dividend of
41. per share in Treviskey was declared, reserving a
balance in hand of 86/. 13s. Id., with ore bills becoming
due. The profit for the mouths of June and July is
shown at 458/. 81. 9d. In Barrier the lois on the two
months is about 21/.; the balahco now due to the purser
amounting to 901. 4s. lOd. The agent's report of the
mine is highly encouraging; the 248 and 236 I'm. levels,
and a winze communicating the same, are represented
as being very productive; 350 tons of ore were sampled
on the 19th for July and August, and 350 lons were an-
ticipated for September and October.
At the Great Polgooth meeting the accounts showed
—tin sold in August and September, 5,245!. B'. 11d.,
leaving a balance to credit, "ladled ng balance of last
account, 1,4601. 7s. sd. A dividend of 41 10s. per
share was declared, leaving balance to credit, 3081. 7s. sd.
At the West Downs meeting, there appeared a balance
against the mine of 201/. 4s. 4d., and a call of ss. per
share was made. .
At the Great Rough Tor meeting the financial state•
merit showed a balance of 2741. 10s. 9d. against adven-
turers, to discharge which, and for current opiratioes,
call of 21. per share was declared. The captain's report
holds out encouragement; more particularly in the
eastern part of the mine, where the prospe..tts are more
favourable—the lode in the the 45 fm. level pro ucTng
good stones of ore, with indications of an improvement;
in extending the crosscut towards the north lode, en
couragement is given by frequent intersections of small
branches of ore, which are received as favourable omens.
At the Bryn-ar-ian meeting,.the accounts were audited
to end of Aug., leaving balance of 48/ against the
mine ; a call of 103. per share was made. The agent's
report represents the lode in the 12 fin, level worth from
51 to 121 10s. per fm.; and in a 10 fin. level, east and
west of the engine-shalt, the lode is producing" one ton
per fin. The stopes have al,o been productive; and the
necessary machinery is erected, and the mine considered
in an efficient state of working. .
