A MAN KILLED ar O BULL.—An inquest was held
on Thursday, by Mr. Gregory on the body of John
Barrett, 58 years of age, a servant of Mr. Joseph Perkins,
living at a lodge on his farm about half-a-mile from the
village of Laughton. On Tuesday evening, as he was
leading a bull, a very large animal, to a trough in tho
home close, the bull backed, and after deceased—who
was leading it by a string in the nose—had pulled for
about a minute, the animal suddenly rushed at him and
knocked him down, then threw deceased twice above his
head with his horns, and then rolled him along the
ground by his horns for some distance. The deceased

of the farm broke up a flank and tried to beat the bull
off; and, not succeeding in stirring it, one of them
fetched a pitchfork, and, by setting on deceased's dog,
contrived to get the bull into a hovel and secure it. The
deceased. was I.( moved to the house, and a medical man
sent for, but from the extensive injuries received, there
being a deep wound in the thigh, and the ribs over the
heart smashed in, these was no chance of saving his life
and he died in a few hours. The bull was frequently
led about by deceased's daughter, and was used to draw
a cart quietly; it had, however, killed a horse some time
back. It was shot the next day after the accident by
Mr. Perkins's orders. The legs should be faAened in
the same way that horses sometimes are to prevent thins
straying far—leaving them freedom to walk, but render-
ing it impossible for them to run after and attack any
one, it vicious.—Smallfield's Leicestershire Mercury.
THE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE.—A Royal Commis-
sion is about to be issued to Inquire and report as to the
most eligible site er sites for a cattle-market, to be held
outside of the metropolis.

Poets view nature as a book in which they read a
language unknown to common minds, as astronomers
regard the heavens and therein discover objects that

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
SINDE PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the unclaimed
shares of the officers and men of the 41st Regiment
have been received from Bangal at the East India
House, and it is to be hoped that the distribution
ay. to
the several claimants will take place without del
The regiment was under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Booth, whose share amounts to 977/. 12s. Bd.;
the Majors, 6511. 15s. each ; the Captains, 3251. 17s.
6d. each ; the Lieutenants, the Adjutants, the Ensigns,
and Assistant-Surgeons, 1621. 18s. 91 each ; the
Paymaster and Surgeon, 3251. 17s. 61. each ; the
Sergeant-Major and Quartermaster-Sergeant, Si. 2s.
11d. each ; the Sergeants, Si. Bs. 7d. each ; the rank
and File and Drummers 21. 14s. each. Total amount
due to the Corps, 8,7221. 14s.
DUBLIN GARRISON.—A squadron of cavalry and
four companies of artillery, are held in readiness to
proceed to the Belfast district in aid of the civil power
at the Orange procession on the sth of November.
The summer trousers for the troops for next year
are to be similar to those used in the present year,
but two or three regiments are to wear the new pat-
tern on trial.
The Master General of the Ordnance has issued
directions to the Deputy Adjutant -General at Wool-
wich, to cause two brass field-pieces and two 6-inch
howitzers, captured from the enemy at the battle of
Waterloo, to be forwarded forthwith to the Royal
Military Hospital at Chelsea, to be placed in the
grounds of that establishment.
THE NAVAL APPRENTICES.—In consequence of
the system of educating, &c., of the naval apprentices
in her Majesty's ship Victory, and her tender Rolla,
and her Majesty's ship Impregnablw, with her tender
Nautilus, proving to be very satisfactory, they are
ordered to be completed again to 150, having lately
been reduced to 90. We are glad to see this.
Commander Shadwell, R.N., son of the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, is ordered by the Admiralty to
hold himself in readiness to commission her Majesty's
steam sloop Hecate, at Portsmouth, in at few days
for particular and confidential service. Commander
Shadwell possesses very impressive talents as an as-
tronomer, and took an active part in a marine survey
not long since in the East Indies. It is gratifying to
see such officers obtain employment.
DEPOSIT IN STEAM BOILERS.—Mr. Armstrong's
apparatus for preventing deposit in steam boilers hav-
ing been tried at Woolwich, and pronounced in the
opinion of the officers of the establishment to have
failed, the Admiralty have directed its removal.
DOCKYARD APPRENTICES.-The Admiralty have
explained, with reference to their Circular of the 21st
of June last, with regard to making working tools in
the establishment, that it was not intended to apply
to apprentices making tools for their own use.
THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET —The decease of
Sir James Whitshed, Bart., G.C,B , is, we regret to
state, hourly expected. He has been gradually
sinking daring the past week. We believe this gal-
lant
and highly distinguished Admiral is in the 88th
year of his age. He was made a captain nearly 70
years ago at least, having been made a post captain at
18 years of age.
TOWN MAJOR or DUBLIN.. Brevet-Major Mylius,
26:h Regiment, we have reason to believe, will be the
successful candidate for the situation of Town Major
of Dublin.
SHIPS READY FOR THE PENDANT.—The following
ships are ready for immediate commissioning at
Devonport :—Thunderer, 84, Belleisle, troop two -
decker, Calliope, '2B, Arachne, 18, Racehorse, 14, and
Harlequin, 12. The above are in addition to the ad-
vanced steam-vessels Gladiator, Sampson, Virago,
Salamander, Jackal, &c.
TETE BREVET AND THE ROYAL MARINES.—By some
accident the brevet promotion of Captain John's,
R.M , of H.M.S. Ganges,to the rank of Major, has
not appeared in the London Gazette during this week.
We have reason to believe that the omission will be
reetileil on Tuesday or Friday next, as the brevet
promotion has been made.
We are sorry to hear that Admiral Sir Edward
Codrington, G.O B. G.C.M.G., is seriously indis-
posed. Although this gallant and distinguished offi-
cer (now the third on the list of Admirals) is in the
80th year of his age, he visited some of his friends in
the early part of the week, at Cork, comparatively
hale and hearty.
Captain William Castle, Paymaster of the Cavalry
depo: at Maidstone, is a candidate for the post o'
Mister of the Ceremonies at Bath, vice General

THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN CONDEMNED AT LAST.—
The Royal Sovereign yacht, for so many years at
Pembroke, is condemned at last, and is actually
ordered to be taken to pieces, and her name as a yacht
to be removed from the Navy List. Her majestic
name, however, is being perpetuated in the navy by a
120-gun ship building at Pembroke.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The mining share market continues in much the
same position as last week. AMr demand for shares
in leading mines is maintained, and the business actu-
ally transacted appears, on the aggregate, an average
amount.
West Buller, South Frances, East Wheal Rose,
Bedford, Trehane, &c., have been in request during
the week.
North Pools are sought for. The lode in the shaft
is much improved, and the mine generally_ never
looted bett3r. West Setons are also in request, the
improvements continuing in the 55 fin. level, at pre-
sent worth 50/. per fin.
Stray Park and East Pool are represented to have
improved in the discoveries recently reported.
In Camborne Consol, a valuable discovery has been
made in the 20 fathom level, from whence some
stones of silver ores have been taken. We have seen
so ne of the specimens having a regular vein of native
silver running through them. Two aAsays has been
made, which give respectively 1,275 ounces and 1,0471
ounces to the ton of ore. Tte specimens we have seen
are far richer. A demand for shires has been the
result. .

In Wheal Tremayne a great improvement has been
made ; in one level the lode is stated to he worth 001.
per fathom. A profit of 5001. was made during the
last two month, and the probability is that an increase
will be made.
Ilolmhush is stated to havo considerably improved
in the Flap jack lode, now producing 8 tons of ore to
the fathom.

West Wheal Providence shares have been done at
an advance, arising from an improvement in the ad-
joining mine of Wheal Tremayne; but a reaction
has taken place.
At a meeting of Wheal Friendship adventurers,
held on Thursday, a dividend of 101. per share was
declared, being the third this year.
West Buller paid a dividend of 101. per share at
the quarterly meeting, held on the 16th, and the
prospects are represented as considerably improved ;
the dividends in future will be bi-monthly.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
since our last :—Devon Great ,Cocsols, East Wheal
Rose, Trehane, South Basset, Stray Park, Callington,
West Providence, South Frances, Holmbush,
Trelawny, Kingsett and Bedford, Tincroft, Camborne
Consols, Condurrow, Tamar Consols, East Tamar,
Bedford, Mendip Hills, Tremayne, South Tamar,
West Treasury, East Pool, &c.
Tregorden Mine account, for the months of July
and August, was held on the 15th inst. ; the state-
ment of show a balance of 2491. 17s. 4d.
against the adventurers, and a call of 104. per share
was made. The agent's report of the mine is very
encouraging, and the prospects far more cheering
than at the last account. In the 20 fin. level the lode
has improved, and the 12 fm. level more than pays for
driving, leaving profitable backs for stoping ; the
stopes alone will give about 4f tons of very rich ore
per month; and as an improvement is anticipated in
the 20 fin. level the mine will then be in a profitable
position.
At the West Wheal Providence quarterly account,
there appeared a profit of 5291. 15s. 4d., which, with
balance from last account, allowed a dividend of 21.
per share, carrying to credit a balance of 52/. 7s. 7d.
The prospects of the mines are considered more en-
couraging by an important discovery in Wheal Tre-
mayne, which immediately adjoins this sett.
East Pool account, for August and September,
showed a loss of 2101. An important discovery has
been made above the 16 fm. level—the lode being
worth about 40/. per fathom. The other parts of the
mine are represented as progressing, without any par-
ticular change.
in foreign mines there have been some considerable
transactions, the chief business having been in United
Mexicans, which have advanced, St. John del Rey,
Copiapo, Imperial Brazilian, National Brazilian, Gua-
dalcanal, &c.
Letters from the Linares Silver-Lead Mines have
been received, and report the progress of the opera-
tions, and the working of the engine in a satisfactory
manner. We hope shortly to be enabled to report
something more gratifying from deeper levels.
St. John del Rey advices are to the 18th August;
the profits for the month of July are shown at 3,1041.

- -
The National Brazilian advices are to th- 221
Au2-ust. The produce from coe,„s, from the 4th
to
the 13-h of August, is mks. 7 1 2 71; and ftwo, the
agent's report of the Cuiaba mines, the prospect and
general appearance of the lode favours the presump.
tion, tint some good ground will shortly be openea
at Le Page's stopes. The lode in Hamilton's stopes,
at Cocaes, being now clear of the cross-course. pre •
sents appearances of an improvement, inasmuch that
the lode is coming more together, similar to where, on
the eastern side of the cross-course, it was found rich
and productive.
The United Mexican letters are to the 6th Sept.,
which represent a great improvement in the mine of
Reyes; but the most important feature is, that the
new mine of Promontorio, which adjoins the Rayas
property, was promising to surpass in productive-
ness the workings in that celebrated mine. A con-
