30,6901. on foreign mines.
During the past fortnight a depression has taken
place in Devon Great Consol Shares—consequently,
several have changed hurls at different prices. An
improvement has since been made at Wheal Josiah, in
the 80 fm. level west, where the lode is now estimated
worth 1501. per fm.
Buyers continue for Mary Ann shares, and some bu-
siness has been done-91 toes were sold last week,
realising nearly 1,4001; 60 tons were raised within the
month, and 34 tons were the accumulation of several
months, which obtained a far better price than antici-
pated, and not the raisings of two months, as then inad-
vertently stated. Buyers are to be found fur Alfred
Consuls, West Caradon, East Wheal Rose, and South
Frances, at limited quotations.
Shares in the following mines have been transacted
since our last:—Devon tireat Consols, South Frances,
Trelawney, West Caradon, East Tamar, Mendip Hills,
Keswick, Mary Ann, Devon and Courtney, South Mot-
tos), Kinsett and Bedford, Calstock, Alfred Consols,
Bedford United, Wellington, Tamar Consols, Camborne
Consols, &c.
The annual meeting of the Asturian Company was
held on Saturday last; but, in consequence of the nego-
tiations pending for the sale of toe property, it was
deemed advisable to adjourn to the 31st inst., when the
directors considered they should be in a position to sub.
mit to the proprietors for their consideration offers fur
their property from the Duke de RianzAres, as well as
other parties who entertained the matter. The balance.
sheet was prepared, and open to the inspection of the
shareholders, but would not be published before the ad-
journed meeting took place.
At the West Caradun meeting, a profit of 1,1351. 15s.
9d. appeared for the month of March and April, and a
dividend of 50s. per share was declared. The sales of
copper amounted to 5,5641.3 x. 9d., and a balance of 1,7681.
18s. 4d., carried to the credit of the next account.
At the East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend of 4,4801.
was declared on the workings of March and April,
amounting to 35/. per share. The sales of silver lend
ores realised 12,6484, leaving a balance of 2
.7171. 4s. sd.
in the purser's hands. From private letters we learn
that the mine is looking remarkably well, no official re-
port appearing with the statement of accounts.
South Wheal Frances two-monthly account was held
on the 2d, vk hen a dividend of 10/. per share was declared
for April and Alay workings. Copper ores sold realised
3,4571., giving a profit on the two months of 1,163/. Bs.

is threatened with death. It protests in the name of the
balance of po•ver in Europe, in the name of liberty and
civilization. It protests in the name of humanity and of
the innocent blood which cries for vengeance to the God
of Justice. Toe Hungarian nation counts on the sym-
pathy of every nation which loves right and liberty re-
sponding to this cry. But were it abandoned by all,
strong in its conscience, it does not the less declare be-
fore God ai;d before men, that it will never yield to the
violence of tyrants, and that it will struggle to its last
breath in the defence of its rights against the attacks of
despotism. Let God, let the civilized world, judge be-
tween us and our oppressors.

coming due in August, 8701. 11s, I Id. As at the end of the
current month:there was a considerable balance of assets
over liabilities in respect of the operations, the meeting
was adjourned to the 28th August, to consider of the
declaration and payment of a dividend. The manager's
reports of the prospects of the mine are highly gratify-
ing. The sales of copper ore, from January to June,
this year, amount to 4,297/. 3s. 6d.
At the Craddock Moor, meeting. a balance of 361.
13s. 3d. stood in favoui of adventurers. The agent's re-
port is faitnirable as to future prospects, especially as
regards Vivian's lode, which affords, from the discove-
ries made, every encouragement for more energetic ope-
rations.

At the Gonamena meeting, the balance in favour of
adventurers was found to be 461. 9s. 7d.; but a call of
10s. per share was deemed necessary to meet the cur-

At the Lewis annual meeting, the statement of ac-
counts shows a balance against the company of 2,2351.
12s. 9d.; whilst the credit taken for new engine, ore at
grass, and subsist in April paid, gives a balance in favour
of the company. The reports are highly favourable, and
it has been estimated that 11,2001. worth of ore has been
discovered, and laid open.
We learn that for some time past the returns from
East Crowndale have not been at all commensurate with
the estimates. Some dissatisfaction, consequently, has
been expressed by the directors, who, it is reported, in-
tend, by an improved system of management, to place

In foreign mines there have been some transactions,
especially in United Mexicans, which have been done at
an advance. Asturians have beea very much sought
after since the meeting of Saturday. St. John del Rey,
Guadalcanal, Copiapo, Australasian, National Brazilian,
and North British Australasian, have changed hands.
The Imperial Brazilian letters are to the 30th April.
The gold report shows the returns, from 13:h April to
date of dispatches—Gongo Soco, 12 lbs. 0 oz. 1 dwt.;
Banana!, 81bs. 8 ozs. 5 dwts. = 20 lbs. 8 ozs. 6 dwts.:
making together, from the Ist January, 144 lbs. 5 On.
15 dwts., and advises the transmission of 701135. 6 css.
5 dwts. 14 grs., value about 3,000/., which has been duly
received. The manager's repot tis furnished under most
discouraging appearances as to future prospects, and the
only favourable point at present appears to be in the
Big Pump vein. But, under an energetic and practical
management, which will take place in a little more than
two months from the present time, we anticipate more
favourable representations. After a return of 204 lbs.
of gold in fifteen days, we do not calculate on so sudden
a transition as this spiritless report assumes.
The Copiapo advices are to the 30th of April, and are
very lengthy, and particularly interesting—indeed, the
prospect of this company are now gratifying, and we
hope, before long, they will be paying regular dividends.
The Balgownie, with 454 tons of copper ore for the com-
pany, arrived at Cork o❑ the 4th.
The National Brazilian advices are to the 26th April.
The produce from Cocaes, from the 13th to the 23d of
April—mks. 5 5 7 4; Cuiba, from 6th to 26th April, 4 1

7 17: total mks. 10 7 6 21- The report states, samples
have been fairly taken from the stopes in the new ground,
west of the slide, and the least productive has been found
to give two oitavas per ton, and others equal to 4 I.6'h
per ton; only 4 fms. of the lode has been opened, from
which the samples were taken, and the lode beinr, 6 fms.
wide, the most reasonable calcu ations are that the whole
will prove equally productive.
The St. John del Rey letters are to the 17th April,
and the gold extracted to that day (being twenty days'
working) appears to be 15,125 oitavas, from 82105 cubic
feet of sand. In consequence of a deficiency of la.
,boßrers, the usual supidrotfirw tVork- haa not been re-
turned, and they have had "recoUrse to the refuse heap,
to keep- the stamps in operation.
The'Alten report for the month of May estimated the
returns at 1901 tons of ore, producing 11.86 tons of fine
copper. Improvements have taken place in the Rulpas
Mine, but in consequence of the sudden change from
winter to summer, the great influx of water, arising from
the thaw of snow, has obliged the management to sus-
rend all operations in the deep levels for a few
days. At the United Mines, Old Mines, and
.11ichell's, the produce has been on the in-
crease. At Ryper's and Mancur's, though the workings
%re at present poor, the prospects are good, and a favour-
able change is shortly expected. At Carl Johan's pro-
fitable returns are yielded; the monthly produce, though
rn al I, is unusually good. The produce, on the whole,
has been superior to that hitherto reported. The intro-
duction of the tribute system having obviated the
necessity, of carrying on the expensive dressing opera-
tions, there will be little work to be, performed during
the summer at the stamps or separation, and the hands
formerly eMployed at these machines will be engaged in
more remunerative work. The improvements which are
reported fully confirm the anticipations which we
expressed in our columns of the 23d June.

ROLAND acid the GREAT ORDER•

BOOK.

Roland was awake and calm, but so feeble that he
made no effort to rise; and it was his calm, indeed, that
alarmed me the most—it was like the calm of nature
thoroughly eaLausted. He obeyed me mechanically, as a
patient takes from your hand the draught, of which he is
almost unconscious, when I pressed him to take food.
He smiled on me faintly when I spoke to him; but made
me a sign that seemed to implore silence. Then he
turned his face from me, and buried it in the pillow; and
I thought that he slept again, when, raising himself a
little, and feeling for my hand, be said in a scarcely
audible voice—
" Where is he?"

Would you see him, sir?"
" Not no. P that would kill me—and then—what would
benotie,of him?"
"He has.promisrd me an interview, and in thatinter-
view I feel assured he will obey your wishes, whatever
they are."
Roland made no answer.

" Lord Castleton has arranged all, so that his name
and madness (thus let us call it) will never be known."
" Pride, pride! pride still!"—murmured the old
soldier. " The name, the name—well, that is much;
but the living soul l—l wish Austin were here."
" I have sent for him, sir."
Roland pressed my hand, and was again silent. Then
ho began to mutter, as I thought, incoherently, about
" the Peninsula and obeying orders; and how some officer
woke Lord Wellesley at night, and said that something
or other (I could not catch what—the phrase was tech-
nical and military) was impossible ; and how Lord
Wellesley asked Where's the order-book?' and looking
into the order-book, said, Not at all impossible, for it
is in the order-book;' and so Lord Wellesley turned
round and went to sleep again." Then suddenly Boland
half rose, and said in a voice clear and firm, "But Lord
Wellesley, though a great captain, was a fallible man,
sir, and the order-book was his own mortal handiwork.
—Get me the Bible!"

Oh Roland, Roland! and I had feared that thy mind
was wandering!
So I went down and borrowed a Bible in large cha-
racter 3, and placed it on the bed before him, opening the
shutters, and letting in God's day upon God's word.
I had just done this, when there was a slight knock at
the door. I opened it, and Lord Castleton stood with-
out. He asked me, in a whisper, if he might see my
uncle. I drew him in gently, and pointed to the soldier
of life " learning what was not impossible" from the
unerring Order-Book.—" The Caxtons" in Blackwood's
Magazine.

" The Hungarian nation, struck to the heart, has
triumphed with the aid of the Almighty over a revolt
which a perjured dynasty has excited against the laws
and the Constitution by intrigues and by force. The
country has driven backas far as the frontier the Austrian
armies, who, in order to oppress the liberty and the in-
dependence of the nation had invaded its territory. In
virtue of its imprescriptible right as a nation, in virtue
of the duty of legitimate defence, the Hungarian nation
unanimously pronounced the fall of the house of Haps-
burg-Lorraine, as perjured and criminal. Never did a
nation fight in a more just cause. Never was a dynasty
more justly punished; never had a nation more
right to hope, that its Governent, the unani-
mous expression of the will of the people,
may be able to efface, by supporting itself
on order and peace, the traces of a long d• spotism. And
nevertheless re see rushing on our frontiers in Gallicia
and at Cracow the armies of the Czar, ready to invade
Hungary at the first call of the house of Hapsburg,
without any declaration of war. All these preparations
prove that the house of Hepsburg does not hesitate to
call in the aid of the Russians to re-establish its de-
spotic power on the ruins of Hungary. The Hungarian
nation is resolved to repel this fresh aggression. It is
decided to shed the very last drop of ►ts blood, rather
than recognize for its master a King who is the murderer
of his people. In coming to this firm resolution it re-
ligiously believes in the justice of its cause, because it
is a holy one; but it dues not the less protest, in the
face of God and of all civilized nations, against the
iniquitous intervention of Russia, which in the interest
of a perjured despot, tramples under foot the right of
nations and the imprescriptible rights of man. It pro-
tests in the consciousness of the duty of its self-defence to
which it has been reduced. It protests in the name of that
eternal right of nations, which has ever been the sacred
foundation of the mutual relations between states. I
protests in the name of treaties, of declaration, and of
guarantees which place under the aegis of the sentiments
of justice common to all people the existence of him who

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.—Forty years ago a
boy disappeared from the farm-house of Northrig,
parish of Shotts, Lanarkshire, then occupied by a
man named Alston, and his whereabout has remained
a mystery ever since. Suspicion at the time fell
upon Alston, the boy's master, which led to an
investigation by the proper authorities, but nothing to
criminate him was elicited. Time rolled on, and the
affair was almost forgotten, but received new light last
week by the discovery of a human skeleton on the
neighbouring farm of Stanhill. Some workmen while
cutting a drain in a moss on the above farm came upon
some bones, at the depth of three feet. wrapped in a
checkered blanket. Dr. Grossart, of Whitburn,
visited the spot, and is of opinion that the skeleton
is that of a person not come to maturity.
The blanket that enveloped the bones is just as fresh as
the day it was laid in the moss. The bones are dark
coloured, inclining to brown, and from their lightness and
elasticity, must have lost their earthy salts. Large
pieces of adipocire were found adhering to several of the
large bones. Although there is no direct evidence, this
is probably the remains of the lost boy.—Correspondent
of Glasgow Citizen.
AN ANCIENT GOOSE.—On Sunday last, Mr. W.
Turnill, of Baceborougb, experienced a loss of a singular
nature—no less than the death of a favourite goose,
which had been on the premises at Braceborough for
sixty years, and prior to that had been in the possession
of Mr. Jobn Smith, of beeping, St. James, for forty
years. The bird was conat quently 100 years old at his
demise.—Stamford Mercury.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—It is with no little pleasure—we may almost say
relief—that we turn from the struggles of faction at West-
minster to the simple and unaffected patriotism unanimously
displayed at this juncture of difficulty by the city of London.
A Special Court of Common Council was held on Thursday,
" to consider the propriety of purchasing estates and waste
lands it!' Ireland, with a view to cultivate and improve the
same, so as to benefit Ireland, and give employment to its
people, and, at the same time, to secure to the Corporation
a return of the capital to be invested, with interest, and
to adopt such measures thereupon as the Court might
deem expedient." Had any additional impulse been
wanted by a body of gentlemen so hearty and so accustomed
to act as well as talk, it would have been furnished by a
letter of the warmest congratulations and encouragements
from the nobleman whom Providence has placed over Ireland
in the hour of her grea'est calamity. His Excellency has
stated the ease of Ireland in a manner which appeals irresis-
tibly to the generosity and enterprise, the arts and wealth, of
this country. His letter deserves to be written at the head
of the undertaking which he urges, and we will not run
the risk of weakening the force of his arguments by
-a meagre resume. 1 f any member of the Corporation feels a
qualm at the thought of an Irish estate—if any dislike an
investment so remote, or think philanthropy incompa-
tible with profit, we recommend a fresh perusal of Lord Cla-
rendon's letter to the Lord Mayor as often as the fit may
come on ; and if we are not much mistaken, it will act like
a tonic on the nerves. It was received on this occasion with
loud cheers. Some very good speeches were made, and the
question was referred to a committee, the names of which are
sufficient guarantees that the scheme will not fail for want of
talent, perseverance, humanity, and experience in
Irish affairs. No act of modern times that occurs
to the recollection surpasses this large-minded and generous
design. It wholly exceeds the measure of modern under-
takings, which, colossal and beneficial though they be, are
yet entered into solely for profit and convenience, and are
generally the practical applications of scientific discovery.
r
The benevolence and religion of the age boast their several
uveorarl
wonders, and deserve their meed of honour; but alms to
neighbours in distress, and the propagation of our faith, are
duties of all times. Seldom, however, have we the opportu-
nity of seeing private citizens compassing the revival of a
country and a people, the reclamation of a soil, and
the salvation of millions from hereditary wretchedness,
turbulence, and barbarism. We will venture to say, that
should the Corporation set about its designs with moderate
energy, and meet with moderate success, nothing will more
excite the admiration of Europe, indeed of the world. In
many respects there is a peculiar congruity in the scheme as
compared with its authors. The city of London does nothing
more than propose to proceed with an old work, and to
carry out au existing design. Having revived one extensive
district from the desolations of war, it proposes to rescue
another from the lingering and recurrent Visitations of
famine. It is a link of distant ages when we see a great
work resumed. Though we have altered much, we are not
yet accustomed to search for projects in the clouds, or in the
still more nebulous regions of intellectual speculation. We
still respect precedent, and go by the book. We wisely
reflect that what has been done may be done again, while it
is by no means so certain that we can do what has
never been done. Now, the city of London possesses
in its own annals and records the precedent, the
authority, and the encouragement necessary for this
design. It has phuited a Goshen of moral and of
physical culture in the thick darkness of Ireland.
It can, therefore, do the same again. The interval of two
centuries and a half is great when it proves the long success
of the former experiment, and when it extends over so many
generations the credit of the performance, but it shrinks to
nothing when we look to the question of practical means. If
London could plant Ulster in the seventeenth century, it can
also plant Connaught in the nineteenth. The interval is
nothing. Ireland still supplies the opportunity, and London
still possesses the power. The Corporation of London hap-
pily is in a condition to despise incredulous or scoffing ob-
jectors. There are men in this country whose whole know-
ledge of history, geography, law, religion, morality,
and, indeed, of all affairs human and divine, is
comprised in the art of proving to the satisfaction of a
few gaping noodles the expediency of debarring a hungry
and industrious population from the use of foreign corn.
Such impostors may sneer, if they please, at a scheme which
has worked for two centuries and a half with increasing suc-
cess. Their own gospel, the obsolete sliding-scale, scarcely
worked, from first to last, a tenth of that period, and did not
succeed for a day. It is vain for such men, or, indeed, for any
men, to tell the Corporation of London that the plantation of
Ulster, the institution of the Irish Society, the grant of
James 1., the co-operation and ultimate mixture of the Eng-
lish and Irish races on the soil, and the consequent ameliora-
tion of the districts, is, forsooth, all a delusion. The Corpo-
ration of London knows better.
HERALD.—Rome, we have every reason to believe, is
now occupied by the French. The results of this achieve-
ment we shall not now speculate upon. But we cannot help
stating that we have been very much edified lately by the
articles furnished by the Italian correspondent of the Times.
This gentleman has informed the people who read that paper
that he is a Papist. We are glad of it. We rejoice to find
that no Protestant is doing such work. This " correspon-
dent" was recently being hospitably entertained by General
Oudinot. He appears, from his own account, to have suf-
fered from want of water, and his bedding seems to have
been of an indifferent quality, sometimes brickbats, some-
times flagstones—and as a great indulgence, and most grati-
fying variety, the rafters of a garret—have furnished his
cubile to this temporary guest. But the " correspondent of
the Times" has received all possible honour at the French
head-quarters. We are not surprised. Our contemporary
has done its best to traduce, calumniate, and ruin the Roman
revolution and its authors. It has heaped every imaginable
term of abuse upon Mazzini arid his fellows. if any person,
not acquainted with the real feeling of the English people, had
been guided by the Times in forming his opinion as to our na-
tional bias on the Italian question, he would undoubtedly
have fancied that the English were unanimously against the
Roman Triumvirate, and in favour of the Pope. The truth
is exactly the other way, and we doubt whether there be an
Englishman out of Printing-house-square who does not look
upon the French invasion of Italy with unmitigated abhor-
rence and detestation. The journal to which we refer, it is
true, has begun to find out that popular opinion is against
it on this point, and we fully expect to see that paper, in a
very short time, highly and virtuously indignant about
the "abominable conduct of the trench," &c. To
be sure, Mother Punchbowl's declamations about virtue
would not be a whit more funny—but let that pass.
General Oudinot is quite right in offering hospitality to the
" correspondent of the Times." But the mischief which our
contemporary has done by eulogising that worst of charla-
tans and humbugs, Pope Pio Nono, and by systematically
libelling his opponents, is very great. Equally extraordi-
nary has been its conduct respecting Hungary. We will not
pay the Times so bad a compliment as to express a suspicion
that the writers of its articles on Hungary are ignorant of the
nature of the connexion by which that country was united to
Austria ;yet the historical fact has been totally misrepresented
in the Times. Hungary is not an integral and corporate part of
the Austrian empire, and never was, except by its own free
choice. The Hungarians have for three centuries chosen
the Emperor of Germany for the Sovereign; but they have
no need to do so—they are not compelled to do so by their
constitutional law; and now, because they do not choose
to be handed over to a new master—a master nomi-
nated by the caprice of a foreign Emperor, who
thought proper to resign his throne, and to appoint a
persolt as his successor, who was not the next lineal
heir—because the Hungarians will no longer submit
to the intolerable bondage of Austria—the limes is to
brand them with every epithet due to cut-throats and rebels I
And not only so. The Times has not simply mistaken the
truth, denying that the llungarians have gained any ad-
yantsge-salways: magnifying the exploits of the Austrians,
at the same time that it has kept a profound silence
about their truly infernal crueltiess-teitness the suppression
of the fact that the Austrians had an Hungarian' lady of
high birth publicly flogged at Pesth (though we remem-
ber the virtuous indignation of the Times about the
cruelties of the Poles a short time since)—but has
traduced men of great and noble character ; it' has
uniformly spoken of the leaders of this Hungarian war as
despicable, worthless creatures, whereas they are truly and
essentially great men. In a word, the Times abets the
Austrians against the Hungarians in such a way that if
Prince Metternich himself had written certain articles is
that paper he could not more exactly have expressed the
views and defended the policy of his Court. Hereafter,
when the 'truth is known about the present troubles in
Hungary and Rome, the course pursued by our contemporary
will form a curious subject of speculation for the political

reasoner.
CHRONICLE.—The resumption of the debate on Mr.
Disraeli's motion must have been felt by all parties concerned
to be a work of supererogation. The motion had been prac-
tically disposed of; and the mover put out of court, before
the House rose on Monday night. The ample sources of
information placed at Sir Charles Wood's disposal, by the
extended machinery of the Home Department, enabled
him to turn a broad light upon the subject, which
the ingenuity of his antagonist bad been vainly em-
ployed to obfuscate, and before the array of facts
collected and arranged by official industry and re-
search, the baseless hypothesis upon which the latter had
built his superstructure of fallacies tell at once to the ground.
But the general defence of the policy which it was the real
drift of the motion to arraign, devolved of right upon a
statesman of different standing and calibre from the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. The modern commercial policy of
the British Empire dates from the year 1842; and with the
men who inaugurated it, at the sacrifice of popularity and
power, must rest the glory or opprobrium of having struck
into a new path, and guided the prow of the vessel of the
State into an unexplored current. Peel and Graham cannot
escape, if they would, the responsibility attaching to the work
of their own hands. Posterity will bear in mind that the
Free-trade Tariff, on which our present system is built,
was the legacy bequeathed to the nation by
the Administration of Sir Robert Peel. The speech delivered
last night by the quondam leader of the old Conservative
party presents a most masterly resume of a question with all
the bearings of which he is more familiar than any other
living statesman. Fastening at once upon the odd incon-
sistency to which we ourselves directed attention on Tues-
dayir morning, he showed that the policy which,
_sr
Disraeli's own admission, had conducted the.t bßritish
empire to an unprecedented pitch of prosperity during
the five years preceding 1846, was identically
as that to which the ingenious decrlauiimn.er apscurtiibeess itson

end of the period to which the poor-
year, long after
rate returns cited by Mr. Disraeli exclusively relate, that the
repeal of the corn-laws carne into operation. Mr. Disraeli's
evidences of distress and impoverishment carry us down
to Lady-day. 1848—not a day later.
,The corn-law ex-
pired on the Ist of February, 1849. So much for the con-
nexion between the growth of pauperism and corn-
law repeal. But we must defer till another opportunity the
remarks suggested by this admirable exposition of the true
principle of tree trade—the principle uniformly upheld in
these columns—viz., that it is the policy, and the only sound
policy, of a commercial country "to tight hostile tariffs by tree
imports." One short sentence is long enough to contain the
whole argument:—" I say that all protection given to insure
a higher price for an article, when you can procure the same
article elsewhere at a lower price, far from encouraging
domestic industry, is, first of all, an interference by thole-
gislature with the application of capital; next, it is a dimi-
nution of the annual income; and last, it is giving more for a
thing than it is worth," The very poor figure cut by the as, ,
