THE NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
THE DESERTERS FROM THE CHlLDERS.—Lieute-
nant Graham and Mr. Elliott, the lieutenant and
master of the Childers, who deserted from that vessel
whilst at the Cape on her way home, gave themselves
up to the Admiral on the departure of the Chillers.
We understand that Lieutenant Graham wrote a
letter to Admiral Re 3 nolds, stating that his rea,on
for quitting the ship was on account of Commander
Pitman's conduct towards him, and both himself and the
Master had determined not to go home with him
The Admiral, however, sent them home in the Nim-
rod, arrived at Devonport, and tby now await trial
by court- martial at that place. Thus all the reports
which have been circulated ai to Commander Pitman's
mode of commanding his ship will be cleared up. It
said that not one- third of the ship's company who left
England in the Childers came home in her. At all
events, Lieutenant Graham and Mr. Elliott have
placed themselves in a very serious position by their
act of desertion.

DISPATCHES FOR HALIFAX —Her Majesty's sloop
Persian is ordered, when ready at Devonport (on the
13th inst.) to proceed direct to Halifax with Admi-
ralty dispatches for the Commander-in• Chief, the
Earl of Dundonald, G.C.B.
HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALYPSO.—We regret to
state that a malignant fever broke out on board this
vessel during her stay on the coast of Mexico, which
swept off one midshipman (Browning) and several
seamen. Her naval instructor (Mr. E. Shaw) has
been left behind sick, it not having been considered
safe to remove him from the Nereus, at Valparaiso.
The Calypso it will be seen lett Valparaiso for Eng-
land with three millions of dollars, on the 28th May.
THE CAPE OF GOOD HorE.---We have intelligence
from the Cape to the 10th of June, by her Majesty's
ship Nimrod, which informs us that the gallant Rear-
Admiral, Commanding-in Chief, intends to proceed
in his flag ship, the Southampton, to the Mauritius,
on a visit to the limits of his station. We be-

lieve, however, that the Admiralty dispatches
appointing him Commander -in - Chief on the
south east coast of America will reach him
before his departure ; when, instead cf leaving
Simon's Bay, the gallant admiral will make his
arrangements for proceeding to Monte Video on
the arrival of Commodore Wyvill in the Castor. The
latest dates from England at the Cape were March
10th. Great complaints are being constantly made
at the Cape of the irregular communication between
this country and the station.
Commander Henry Eden, late first lieutenant of
the Dido, in China, and who was employed in the
Euphrates expedition, and recently commanded the
Locust steamer in the Mediterranean, has accepted
the lucrative appointment of superintendent to a great
northern fishery.
There are forty-six candidates for the secretaryship
of the Dreadnought, seaman's hospital ship, which has
now been vacant six months by the death of Mr.
Harley, formerly in her Majesty's navy.
TOE COAST OF AFRICA.—Our intelligence from
the Coast of Africa, it will be seen, has added to cur
Naval Service Obituary a gallant young officer who
has fallen a victim to the casualties of climate.
The Chntaur had recovered her healthy conkition,
her ship's company having become seasoned, but
the Alert had suffered a little, and Commander,
Monypenny, of the Sealark, was left dangerously
ill. The pirate felucca that killed Mr. Sanders and

the men of the Alert's boats, we are glad to hear,
has been taken ; but, as she made no resistance, the
murdering scoundrels will e,cape unpunished. This
is the justice of the Coast of Africa service. Our
officers and men may be killed in action, or murdered
in cold blood by these pirates, who, it captured, ere
to be treated as guests and friends, and the pirate
captain becomes a guest of the British officer. Nay,
to our utter disgust, as also to the disgrace of our
English men of war, we know an instance in which
the commander of a cruiser allowed the slaver captain
to share his cabin with him.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There has been a fair proportion of business done
this week, especially in leading mines, shares in many
of which have found free buyers.
The sale of the 249,937 blacks of tin at Amsterdam
being now concluded, we may reasonably expect an
advance both in the price of tin and the ore, which
had decreased considerably ontecedent to this sale.
We learn that better prices were realised than gene-
rally expected, although we find that there is a great
scarcity of the article both at home and on the conti-
nent—consequently, an aduance must immediately
take place on the ore. Smelters have already refused
an improved price for tin, and buyers are becoming
anxious.

In consequence of an improvement in Tincroft,
there has been an active inquiry for these shares,
which have been done at a considerable advance on
former prices. The improvement appears to be in the
shaft sinking under the 100 fm. level, where they
have a splendid course of grey copper ore.
Buyers are to be found for Treviskey and Barrier,
South Basset, West Seton' South Frances, and East
Wheal Rose, some of which have changed hands
during the week. South Tatnar, Bedford United,
Tamar Consols, Trelawny, Treleigh, &c., have also
been sought for.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week :—East Wheal Rose, Devon Great
Consols, North Roskear, Treviskey and Barrier,
South Frances, South Basset, Trelawup, West
Caradon, Bedford United, Tincroft, Tarnar Consols,
Tau Consols, Kingse.tt and Belford, Treleigh,
Engair Lli, Wellington, and South Tamar.
At the South Wheal Basset meeting, a dividend of
101. per share was declared for the months of May
and June, leaving a balance in hand of 563/ ; the
profit on the two months amounted to 1,2911. 12s. 9d.
At the Levant meeting, a dividend of 5/. per share
was declared, leaving a balance in favour of the mine
of 1,234/. 13s. 101
At the Wheal Trelawny meeting, the statement of
accounts showed a profit of 1 3511. 18s. 10d. for the
months of March, April, and May, and a dividend of
41. per share was declared, leaving a balance in hand,
with the amount left from last acconnt, of 1,1441.125.
7d. The agent's report represents the mine in a very
gratifying and prosperous petition.
At the Wheal Mary Ann meeting the accounts
showed a profit on March, April, and May of 5571.
11s. ; and the balance in hand was 1,017/. 193. Bd.
At the 'levy Con,ols meeting, the accounts showed
a balance against the mine of 971. 18s. 101. A calls
of 4s. per share was made.
At the Trewaider meeting, the statement of ac-
counts showed a balance of 831 ls. 3d., due to the
purser, whil-t arrears of calls amount to 136/ The
agent reports that the works were progressing moat
satisfactorily. A steam engine, of cylinder,
capstan, and shears, had been purchased, and the
whole in course of erection, and the former was ex-
' petted to be working in About three weeks from the

date of meeting, when we expect this promising mine
%ill be in fail operation. A call of 21. per share was
made.

At the Wcat Wheal So` meeting, tl7e statement
of aceeuets sllowea a profit of 5,;1. ls. 13. on the
workings of May and June, leaving a balance of
1891. 3s. in favour of the company. The captain's
report was highly favourable ; the bottom level pro-
ducing six tons of ore per fathom. Other levers are
also looking satisfactory and encouraging.
At Tylhoyd, Cardigan, in a mine worked solely by
a gentleman at Aberyst with, in driving the deep adit
level they have discovered a most valuable lode,
although not what we may call rich at present, but,
from its general character, may be considered a most
important discovery. Other mines in Cardigan are
looking remarkably well.
There has not been much business done in foreign
mine shares, but Copiapo, St. John del Rey, milted
Mexican, Guadalcanal, and Alten, have changed
hands.
The Copiapo Mine report, for the month of April has
been received ; the whoie is of a very gratifying charac-
ter. The Checo Copper Mine is represented as having
much improved, especially in the 20 and 40 fm levels,
have fine courses of rich ores ; the other points of the
mine are productive, and hold out promise of im-
provement. No improvement has taken place at
San Pedro; the returns for the month amounts to
56 tons. In the silver mine of Al Fin Hallada, no
portion of the lode had been taken down since last
advice, but the appearances are of the same fa-
vourable character, At San Jose del Carmen
it was reported ;but not officially, that a rich
bunch of silver had been discovered; 38 tons of
ore from this had been brought to the city, and
WAS in course of amalgamation. The Carmen Alto,
Plomizi, and Loreto Mines, are represented in a very
promising position. From the gold mines, several
tons of good orey work has been broken from the
lode; but the value of the whole cannot be given
with precision before the next advices, when a remit-
tance of both gold and silver may be expected. The
whole of the troops are engaged in conveying copper
ore for freighting the Sion.
Letters from the Alten Mines have been received ;
which, though they convey no advice of actual im-
provements, yet fully confirm former prospects.
