for ; but we are not advised of any particular business
having been dohe.
By letters, dated 7th May, received from the
Barossa Range Mines, we learn that operations are
progressing in a very satisfactory and encouraging
manner. At the Bremier Mine, they have cut a
productive lode in the 9 fm. level, which is large, and
carrying some very rich work.
The Australian Mining Company have received
dispatches from the mines to July 18th. The agent's
report of the operations is highly gratifying ; im-
provements and new discoveries are frequently pre-
sented, and there is every prospect of this mine
(Tungkillo) becoming permanent and productive.
Goad's stopes and winzes are represented as equally
productive as last reported.
Letters from the Linares Mines to the 21st Oct.
have been received. The water is gradually although
slowly receding, which is some evidence of the ex-
tent of the old workings. The engine. continues to
perform her duty well. From what has been seen,
and the general opinion entertained, there is every
reason to anticipate favourable results, when once in
fork.

GIIUZNEE PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the un-
claimed shares of the 16th Lancers and lath Light
Infantry of the prize money granted for the capture
of Ghuznee, have been received at the East India
House from Bengal; the total amount remaining un-
paid to the officers and men of these regiments is
1,8051. 11s. Id.
EXPRESS TO AMERICA.—NICARAGUA AFFAIRS.—
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Hecate, Commander
Shadwell, embarks at Portsmouth this day, Sir H.
Lytton Bulwer, the newly-appointed Minister to the
United States, for conveyance express to Boston. It
is understood that Sir Henry has full powers to resist
energetically all attempts at interference on the
part of the United States in Nicaragua affairs.
The United East India Service Club has, we hear,
taken the mansion in St. James's-square formerly
occupied by the Free Trade Club, paying 3,0001. for
the lease and fixtures. The Marquis of Dalhousie
and General Sir Charles Napier have become Presi-
dents of the club.
NEW PRACTICE BATTERY AT FORT CUMBERLAND.
—The Admiralty have decided on proceeding with the
new Marine Artillery practice battery at Fort Cum-
berland, near Portsmouth. Mr. Bramble's tender for
the construction of it has been accepted by their
Lordships, and it will be commenced immediately.
SUPERINTENDENTSHIP OP DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.
—Lord John Hay, C.B. M.P. for Windsor, after all,
goes to Devonport Dockyard for certain, to succeed
Vice-Admiral Sir John Louis. This appointment
creates a vacancy in the representation of the borough
of Windsor. It is expected that the Gallant Officer
will join in the course of a fortnight. We have not
heard whether Lord John Hay receives the appoint-
ment as usual, to be relinquished on promotion, or
whether he is appointed for rive years certain. Taking
the average rate of mortality among his seniors, it is
not at all unlikely that he will be an Admiral in less
than eighteen months.
NAVAL AIDE-DE-CAMP TO THE QUEEN.—By the
promotion of Captainfßerkeiey to the rank of Bear-
Admiral, an appointment of Aide-dc-Camp to the
Queen becomes vacant, Captain A. L. Corry having;
succeeded to the paid division. Among other candi-
dates mentioned, we have heard that the names of
Captain the Hon. H. J. Rons and Captain Rich are
prominently put forward. Whoever obtains the ap-
pointment will be sure to have nothing beyond the
honorary distinction.
rillS COAST-GUARD AND STEAM DEPARTMENT.—
As we have before stated, it is most probable that
Captain Houston Stewart, C.D., will succeed Lord
John Hay as a rraernber of the Board of Admiralty ;
but it appears that it is not so certain that Captain
Ellice, of the Steam Department, will succeed
Captain Stewart as Comptroller of the Coast Guard.
If service, ability, and sincerity be allowed to have
any weight, it is not improbable that Captain Toup
Nicholas, C. 8., K.H., now Superintendent of the
Royal Naval ospital, Stonehouse, will have the
Coast Guard appointment, and Captain Ellice will
succeed him at Stonehouse.

GOLD DUST AND DOLLARS FROM CALIFORNIA.—
Her Majesty's ship Constance left Valparaiso August
28th for Portsmouth, with 1,750,000 dollars in
freight, and is expected to reach Spithead in 75 days.
Her Majesty's ship Pandora left Valparaiso August
9th, with 55,000 dollars' worth of gold dust.
ADVANCEMENT IN RANK WITII DECREASE IN PAY.
—Sir Byam Martin, G.C.8., receives as half-pay of
Admiral of the Red, and as Vice-Admiral of the
United Kingdom, 1,2001. 11s. 9d. per annum ; as
Admiral of the Fleet, he receives only 1,1491. ss. per
annum, thereby losing 51/. 6s. 9d., by
.the advance-

ment.
The next ship for the :coast of Africa will be her
Majesty's sloop Hound, to be commissioned at
Devonport, and to leave that port December Ist.
LIFs-Buovs.—The Admiralty have ordered that,
in future, the issue of life-buoys to her Majesty's
ships shall lx,-; two to first, second, third, and fourth
rates, and one only to all other vessels.
COMPOSITION ON IRON SHIPS' BOTTOMS.—The
Lords of the Admiralty have given permission to
Mr. Hay, the Admiralty chemist, to take out a patent
for his valuable and successful composition for pre-
serving the bottoms of iron ships from accumulations
and corrosion.

MINING INTELLIGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The share market continues firm ; although the
amount of business transacted has not been large, still
there is a demand for our leading mines. Two inter-
ruptions to general business have taken place in the
week, which, no doubt, has had some influence—the
opening of the -New Coal Exchange on Tuesday, and
the holiday at the Stock Exchange and the Bank on
Thursday.
Letters from our local correspondents confirm the
improvements which have taken place in many of the
leading mines, of Cornwall especially, whilst the firm-
nees of the metal markets, and the present standard
for copper ores, offer an upward tendency to the price
of shares.
East Wheal Rose, Condurrow, Stray Park, South
Baeset, South Frances, North Pool, and other mines
in the west, continue in demand. Trelawny, Try
bane, Mary Ann, Bedford United, &c., in the east,
are also inquired for. In Camborne Consols the silver
lode continues improving. At Hohnbush, in the 14,
fathom level, the flap jack lode, we also learn, con-
tinues very productive. Alfred Consols may be men•
tinned as another of the improved mines.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week :—Davon Great Consols, Condurrow,
Great Consols, Stray Park, Bedford United, Tin-
croft, South Tamar, East Tamar, Trehane, West
Providence, Callington Mines, Kinsett and Bedford,
Trethellan, Lewis, Trelawny, Mary Ann, Com-
fort, &c.
At North Pool account a dividend of 221. 10s. per
share was declared.
At the West Caradon bi monthly account meeting
a dividend of 21. 10s. per share was declared, A
profit of 4191 2s. was made during the months of
July and August, and the balance from last account
amounted to 7811. 1 ls. 101.—making 1,2001. 13s. 10d.,1
from which the dividend of 6401. is to be deducted.
Trelawny Silver-Lead ores, of 108 tons, were sold
this week, realising 181. ss. per ton.
At the Fogey Consols account_ for May, June,
July, and August, a profit of 2341. 17s. 11d. was car-
ried to the reserved fund, now amounting to the sum
of 6,4811. 18s. 2d. The quantity of copper ores sold
during the four months realised 12,0521. The mine
is represented to be without any positive improve-
ments, although there are some speculative points
about to be developed.
Craddock Moor account showed a balance of 23/.
se. Id. in favour of the adventurers, and a call of 103.
per share was made.
Gonamena account for two months shows a balance
of 287/, in favour of the adventurers ; and the agent's
report represents the mine progressing favourably.
At the East Godolphin account, the financial state-
ment, for the three months ending Sept., showed a
balance of 543/. 19s. 7d. against adventurers, and a
call of 3s per share was made. The manager, in his
report, represents the operations to be progressing in
a very satisfactory manner, and the machinery com-
pleted, and in good working order, and anticipates
that at an early day there will be several lodes
opened on, which will prove productive.
Wheal Blencowe adventurers held their meeting on
the 231 Oct., when the accounts for four months
ending Septemher were audited, and a balance of
3381 9 ;. Id. was found against the company ; a loss
2371 84. Si. during that period, and the difficulty
of o!itaining the calls, inducel the meeting to deter-
mine uFon d,smAleg the present company, and to
pay off ail liabilities. A call of 28s. per share was
declared.
At 13Wlch Consols meeting,nn the adventurers resolved
increasing the amount cf capital by the issue of
1,000 new shares at 61. per share, 2/. payable at once,
which will enable them to pay off all existing
liabi-
s, and place the mine in a permanent and profit
able position, as will be seen by the manager's repot
At the Cwm Erfin bi-monthly account, the meeting
was adjourned to the 6th (next Tuesday), for the
purpose of receiving the report of the two agents
appointed to inspect the mine.

have been confined to a few bargains in the United

SHREWSBURY AND HERTFORD.
The report of the directors, to be presented at the
general meeting of the shareholders at Chester, on
Tuesday next, just issued, states that the exertions
made for carrying out the line have been attended
with success, that a large number of shares have been
subscribed for, and that promises of support from the
principal landowners have been given. The position
of the share capital is as follows :—Capital authorized
to be raised, 800,0001., in 40,000 shares of 201. each.
On 34,799 a deposit of only 1/. has been paid; on
21,988 the first call of 1/. per share and deposit have
been paid. The amount received on the second call
of 3/. per share has been 6,263/. ; number of shares
forfeited, 4,943 ; shares not issued, 5,201 ; shares
unclaimed, 146. The length of the line will be 52
miles. It is proposed at present to construct only
a single line, which, at 10,000/. per mile, and in-
cluding the electric telegraph and amount already
expended, will come to 485,8041. It is also proposed
to reduce the share capital to 450,0001., which with
the usual borrowing powers will make a total of
600,0001. It is proposed to make the shares 45,000,
of 10/. each, instead of 40,000 of 201. each, and so
diminish the liabilities of the registered shareholders
one-half their present amount. The 201. shares
being at a discount of 2/. per share in the market,
it is proposed to issue 4,943 forfeited shares, and
5,347 shares unissued, and 5,000 new shares regis-
tered, to make up the total of 45,000, at a discount
of 1/. each, or 91. to be paid present shareholders,
and those who have already made application for
shares to be entitled to a preference allotment. A
large number of shareholders have expressed their
willingness to proceed with the undertaking in its
present form. The ,Shrewsbury and Chester Rail-
way Company have taken power to advance 75,000/.,
and other parties have agreed to take 99,0001. of
stock. Lord Craven and the Hon. R. Clive, through
whose estates the line courses for nine miles, have
consented to take the amounts to be paid to them for
land in shares.
ABERDEEN.—Great delay has taken place in the
opening of the line to Limpet Mill, within twelve
miles of Aberdeen, from the refusal of the contractors
to give up possession of the line, which was to have
been opened for traffic on Tuesday. On that day the
directors, with their officers, endeavoured to take pos-
session of the line by removing the contractors and
their waggons, but the latter, with a large body of
navvies, resisted, demanding to be paid for the work
done upon the contract. On the following day the
sheriff and police authorities proceeded to the line,
and had an interview with the directors and con-
tractors. The terms of the contract agreed on were
produced, and the payment to the contractors of
8,0001. demanded. This not being complied with, a
protest was taken against any further proceeding, and
the sheriff granted an interdict.
LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE....-The Railway
Commissioners have authorised the opening of the
Burnley branch of this railway, which is expected to

is nine miles in length, and connects the town of
Burnley with the old Manchester and Leeds Railway.
There are three tunnels and other heavy works on the
new line.

sion line of this railway to Cork was opened for
public traffic on Monday.

at Miss Noble, who appeared alarmed and said,

asked him what was the matter? He said " Nothing."
The prisoner went towards Miss Noble, laid hold of
her, and they fell backwards together in an arm chair,
and appeared to be kissing her, when he put his hand
upon her hand, and immediately lifted up his right
arm and cut Miss Noble's throat with the razor which

MANSION-HOUSE.
John Garry, who was some days ago charged
with having committed a fraud upon a pawnbroker
in Houndsditeh, by representing that a " duffing"
chronometer had been made by a celebrated manufac-
turer, and cost 301., or 30 guineas, and obtaining
upon it by such representation the sum of 121., was
brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination.
His LORDSHIP intimated that he should send the
prisoner for trial the moment the depositions were
completed.

he took out of his pocket. Witness was very
frightened, and ran down stairs, and when she re-
turned her father gave the prisoner into custody.
Sergeant Edward White, 9 G, proved having taken
the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Smith, surgeon, of 151, Whitecross-street, St.
Luke's, said, he was a member of the Royal College
of Surgeons. On Thursday morning he was called
upon to attend the injured woman. lie was informed
that a man had wilfully cut her throat. On entering
the room he found her sitting on a chair with her
hands grasping her throat. for the purpose of stopping
the blood, which was gushing profusely from the
wound. It was an irregular wound five or six inches
in length, and extending obliquely down the throat
and in a zigzag course. The external jugular vein
and the branches of the carotid artery were cut,
but fortunately the carotid artery and jugular vein
escaped.
Mr. Mantua., addressing the prisoner, said it was
his duty to caution him that be had committed a most
serious offence, and he was not bound to say anything
to the charge against him. If he chose to do so, he
would tell him that it would be written down and
used against him at his trial.
The prisoner—l am guilty ; I cut her throat.
Mr. llAmurLL—You stand remanded for a week.
He left the bar crying, and was conveyed to prison.
The unfortunate young woman was conveyed to
the workhouse, and it was yesterday reported that she
was in a most dangerous state. The prisoner, since
his committal, has been in a dejected condition, some-
times raving like a :madman, and repeatedly calling
out, "My love, my dear love ! Oh ! we shall meet
in heaven," and other similar expressions.
Mr. Wakeling reserved the defence.

Mr. BuRuELL handed our reporter a circular which
he had received from the notorious Joseph Ady,
without offering any comment upon it. The following
is a literal copy :

George Holliday, a seaman belonging to the ship
Allan Brown, in the Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe,
was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with as-
saulting and wounding Lewis Miller, a seaman be-
longing to the American packet-ship Northumbers
land, in the London Docks.
The complainant, who had been most seriously
wounded, and was in a debilitated state from the loss
of blood, was in a public-house in Upper East Smith-
field, opposite to St. Katherine Dock, on Friday
evening, and changed a sovereign there. He com-
menced treating some of his shipmates and others, and
the' prisoner, who was present and saw him change
his gold, asked the prosecutor to treat him also, which
he refused to do, and the prisoner and some compa-
nions fastened a quarrel upon him, and followed him
to the corner of \Veil-street, near the Sailors' Home,
where they attacked and beat him. Miller defended
himself as well as he was able until the prisoner struck
him a tremendous blow on the top of the head with a
sling formed with a piece of rope, to which was
attached a conical-shaped piece of lead. The
blow crushed the prosecutor's hat, and he
fell to the ground senseless. The prisoner,
who had the rope twisted round his arm
to secure a firm grip, repeated the blow as
Miller fell, and the blood gushed from his nose and
mouth profusely. When be recovered himself, there
were three or four men, including the prisoner, beating
him most unmercifully. Some of the bystanders in-
terfered and secured the prisoner until a police-
constable named Clarke, of the A reserve division,
No. 448, came up, to whose custody he was con-
signed. One of Miller's shipmates had hold of the
lead end of the sling, which the prisoner called a
life-preserver, and prevented him doing any further
mischief with the instrument, which Clarke pro-
duced. It is a most formidable and dangerous wea-
pon. Miller's head was cut open by the first blow ;
the second fell on his neck, where a dark bruise was
visible.
The prisoner, in defence, said he received the sling
or life preserver from a girl in the course of the
quarrel, and she told him to take care of himself, and
that it was not until he was knocked down that he
used it. Ile also said he was the first to call out
" police," which was denied by the prosecutor.
Mr. INGHAM said, the prisoner was a most cowardly
ruffian to use-such a dangerous weapon as the sling
produced ; and that he should most certainly have
committed him for trial for feloniously wounding, if
the prosecutor's ship was not about to sail. As it
was, he should inflict the most severe penalty in his
power fbr this most dastardly and savage assault.
He fined the prisoner 51., and in default of pay-
ment committed him to the House of Correction for
two months.

METROPOLITAN C 0 MMISSION OF
SEWERS.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Court of Sewers
was held at No. 1, Greek-street, Soho. Present,
Viscount Ebrington (in the chair), Mr. T. Hawes,
Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. Rendel, Mr. R. Stephenson,
Mr. Hardwicke, Captain Vetch, Mr. Lawes, and
Captain Dawson.
Viscount EBRINGTON announced at the commence-
ment of the sitting that the whole matter contained
in the notice-paper had been carefully considered in
the general committee by the Commissioners, and that
the motions which would be proposed and agreed to
were the result of their concurrence on the subjects
contained in them.
The resolutions were then put and carried, without
exciting a word of discussion. They all related to
matters of detail connected with the working of the
Commission, and none of them involved anything of
the least public interest.
Viscount EBRINGTON announced that the general
committee had been engaged in investigating the facts
connected with the unfortunate loss of life in the
Pimlico sewer, and in receiving explanations from
the parties who were more or less concerned. It was
only last night that a statement had been received
from Mr. Cubitt, which on some points appeared to
be inconsistent with the statement of Mr. Phillips.
The committee would in consequence require further
time to consider the subject, and no further allusion
would therefore be made to it in court until their
report had been completed.
Captain DAwsoN handed in to the secretary the
plan of a very ingenious contrivance sent to him by a
French gentleman, Mr. Ed ward Lebethan, for the
protection of human life in sewers. The contrivance
consists of a helmet constructed like that worn by
divers, and which is connected with a chamber placed
on the back of the sewersman, and containing a
reservoir of condensed air.

CLERKENWELL.

Charles Corby was further examined on the charge
of having feloniously cut and wounded Mary Ann
Noble, aged 22 years, with intent to murder her. Con-
siderable interest was manifested, and the court was
excessively crowded. The prisoner was described in
the police-sheet as a watch finisher, residing in Pros-
pect-place, St. Luke's. The following additional evi-
dence was adduced :
James Lee said, that after the prisoner kissed the
injured woman he drew the razor across her throat.
She screamed, and the blood flowed profusely from the
wound.
Prisoner (wildly)—My Lords, say what you like;
I did it; it's the truth, I cut her throat.
Witness continued—lt was a dreadful gash. He
took the razor now produced from the prisoner ; it
was covered with blood.
Mr. HAmiaiLL—Did she say anything ? Witness
—I did not hear her say anything. I said, "Charley,
what have you done ?" He replied, " I don't know
what I have been doing." After the injured woman
received the wound she went down stairs, and witness
remained with the prisoner until Sergeant White, G
division, came and took the prisoner into custody. The
prisoner was quite sober, but very much excited.
Inspector Gray, G division, said that when the pri-
soner w as brought to the station-house he complained
that the woman Noble, who cohabited with him, went
to an improper house ; and it appeared that he was
jealous of her, and she was in the habit of visiting the
place against his will.
The prisoner here burst into a flood of tears.
Witness heard the prisoner say, in a threatening
manner, that she (Noble) should be in heaven before
nine o'clock in the morning. He was vexed and in
a great passion.
Mr. HammiLe—What did he particularly say
about heaven ? Witness—He said to her, " I hope
you will be in heaven before the night is over."
Mr. HammieL—ln what mood was he When he said
this ?—He spoke as if he was irritated.
Inspector Gray produced the razor, which was
covered with blood.
Sergeant White said, that when he took the pri-
soner into custody and told him what he was charged
with, he said wildly, " Where is Mary—is she dead ?"
Witness told him she was not dead. He commenced
stamping and tearing his hair, and exclaimed, " I
shall be hanged for it ; oh, policeman, you don't know
what love is." The prisoner here conducted himself
in a frantic manner, making use of incoherent excla-
mations, such as " Oh, my dear love, my Mary, if
you had come out with me when I asked you, this
would not have happened. I have done it and I plead
guilty. I am glad she is not dead ; but if she was
dead I should be happy. I loved her as I loved my
life. If she had come home to tea with me when I
asked her, I would not have done it.''
Lucy Lee deposed that she was present, and her
father handed the razor to her after he took it from
the prisoner. There was blood upon it. She gave it
to the officer. Miss Noble was employed by, her
father as a cap maker. She came to work on
Thursday morning at a quarter-past eight o'clock.
About twenty minutes afterwards the prisoner came
in. Witness always thought the prisoner was Miss
Noble's husband. When he entered the room where
they were at work he stood a little while, looked at
Miss Noble, and never spoke to her.
Prisoner (wildly)—Give me some grub ; give me
some food. I have had nothing to eat all day. Oh !
my love, Mary.
Witness—l heard him ask her where she had been.
She replied, "Where have you been ?" She said she
would not tell him. They went down stairs, and
shortly afterwards returned together. He asked her
to go home to breakfast and dinner. She refused to
go. He then asked her to go to tea with him, and
she refused. He then said, " Will you come home
to-night ?" She said, "No." He then said, "Where are
you going ?" she replied, " Where are you going to?"
and he then left. He returned at about half-past ten
o'clock. He stood at the fire-place and looked wildly

A resolution was agreed to, that this and other
suggestions which had been made with the same
object to the secretary, should be referred to the
general committee.
The Court then adjourned, the whole sitting not
having occupied more than twenty minutes.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—REPORT FOR THE
WEEK ENDING Nov. 2.—We have been comparatively
quiet in our cotton market throughout the whole of the
week, with occasional buying on speculation to a limited
extent. Prices have also given way in a slight degree.
The decline, however, is so very small, that it will
scarcely admit of quotation, but the turn is in favour of
the buyers. The light stock now lying here, and the
certainty of a moderate import for some months to come
will strengthen the hands of holders at least for a time.
Nothing, however, will withstand the effect of contracted
consumption, should that really take place to any consi-
derable extent. Upon this point we are daily gathering
information; and upon the whole we are led to conclude,
that up to this moment, notwithstanding the advanced
prices, the consumption has not been very greatly
checked. Fair Uplands and Mobile are quoted at Cid.,
and fair Orleans at qd., being the same as before.
16,300 American, 270 Surat, 700 Egyptian, 1,440 Ma-
ranham, and 1,100 Pernam, have been taken on specu-
lation; and 730 American, 1,940 Surat, and 820 Per-
nam, for export. The business of to-day may be esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, about 1,000 being on speculation.
INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.--'ST. PAUL, CONVENT.
GARDEN.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of the
parishioners was held in the Vestry-room of St. Paul's
Church, Covent-garden, "for the purpose of taking
into consideration the order of the General Board of
Health, containing, amongst other things, directions for
the covering of the surface of the churchyard with lime,
and to determine whether the annoyance and expense of
carrying out the said order would not be much greater
than any advantage likely to accrue therefrom." The
meeting was also summoned to take such measures as
might be deemed desirable for obtaining an equalization
of the land tax. The 11ev. H. Hutton, M.A., the newly
appointed rector of the parish, presided. A report was
read on the part of the churchwardens, which stated that
the expense attendant upon a compliance with the orders
of the Board of Health would be at least 1001. The
inhabitants around the churchyard had made no com-
plaint ; and only 79 burials had taken place during the
present year. As Parliament would have to pass some
general regulation for the interment of the dead, the
parish might be incurring a useless expense in following
out these stringent orders. Mr. Walker then moved a
resolution, which was carried, " That the order of the
Board of Health is unnecessary and impolitic, would bo
productive of great injury to the parish, and, therefore,
ought not to be carried into execution." A second reso-
lution that a copy of the report of the churchwardens
and of the resolution be forwarded to the Board of
Health, was also agreed to. The meeting then pro-
ceeded to discuss the inequality of the land tax, and
separated at a late hour, after a vote of thanks to the
chairman for the courtesy ho had displayed in conducting
the meeting.

MOLASSES.—West India continues in good request,
and prices are on the advance. The value is from 15s
6d to 18s 6d for low to fine quality, and higher rates
are likely to prevail. Bengal Treacle has been disposed

stock. At public sale 30 bags of Grenada were sold at
37s to 39s for middling to good red, and 38s to 48s is
the value of Trinidad. Orders for Foreign continue of
little moment, and prices are on the decline. At public

Pekoe, former rates are well kept up ; they rule
rom is 3d to Is 7d for good and fine sorts. Orders

at former terms there are not generally sellers ; the

easily obtained at late quotations.
