The prisoner, Mrs. Manning, here exclaimed with
violent gesticulation, " I will not stand here—l have
not had a fair trial!" and one of the officers in attend-
dock was compell to remove her to the front of e
, andremaineedd stationed close behind her forth a

few minutes.
Mr. Streight then asked the prisoners whether they
had anything to say why sentence of death should
not be passed upon them in the usual form. A patlse
of a few seconds followed, and Mr. Harker, the cries
of the court, was about to make the usual proclama-

Lion for silence, when
The female prisoner, whose extraordinary command
of feeling had been conspicuous ithroughout the trial,
and who had maintained a stolid indifference up to
this moment, advanced to the front of the dock, and,
placing her hands on the bar, in a voice which was at
first overpowered with intense emotion, which she
attempted to subdue, proceeded to address the bench
with a broken English accent. The purport of her
address was, as nearly as we could un3erstand,
or hear it, "My Lord ! I have been areated
most cruelly in this country. lam a foreigner, and
I have been denied justice. There is no justice or
protection here for any foreign subject in this country-
I have received no protection or justice from the pro-
secutors, from the jury, nor from the Court. I am,
therefore, convicted unjustly this day in this court.
It could have been provad by my counsel and
solicitor that money was sent to me from my own
country, from abroad, to the Bank of England, to
show that those. shares which were found upon me
were bought for me, with my own money ; and that
witnesses could have identified those shares if they had
been called; and when I am charged with taking the
life of Mr. O'Connor, I say he was much more than
my husband to me. I had known him ever since I
was in this country. I have known him for seven years.
He was to me a brother and a father, and the best
friend I had in the world. He wanted to marry me,
and I ought to have married him when I was a
widow. I can never forget his regard for me ; and
the letters that he wrote will prove the respect and
regard he had for me ; and I consider that I, a
foreign woman, have had to fight against my own
husband's statement which he has made
against me, and against the Judges and those who
have conducted the prosecution. I complain of the
Judges themselves. I have not been treated like a
Christian, but like a wild beast of the forest; and all
the judges, and the jurors, and the counsel will have
it on their consciences that the verdict which has
been, given against me is an unjust one, for I
am not guilty of the murder of Mr. O'Connor. .How
should I wish to do so ? I could not attempt the
life of a man who was my most honoured friend on
earth, and who would have made me his wife when
I was a widow. 1 have been nine years in this
country, and I have always had a character for pro-
bity, and I can account for more than the money
which purchased the shares found upon me. I can
produce three or four times the money. If I wished
to take anybody's life, why should I not take that of
my husband, who is the greatest enemy to me in the
world? Why should I kill Mr. O'Connor? I could
have been married to him in a fortnight if I pleased ;
he was my best friend. Because it pleased my
husband, from his jealousy, to kill Mr. O'Connor, I
am dragged to this bar. I wish I could better explain
myself in the English language, hut I cannot."
Mr. Harker having made the usual proclamation
for silence,
Mr. Justice C&ESSWELL then proceeded to pass
sentence upon the prisoners :—George Frederick
Manning and Maria Manning, you have been con-
victed of the crime of murder--
Maria Manning (in a loud voice, and with great
earnestness)—I have not, my Lord. I will not stand
here to hear that said (the prisoner then rushed hastily
towards the back part of the dock; upon lying
brought back to the front of the dock by Mr. Cope,
the Governor, she said)—lt is a shameful thing—
yea ought to be ashamed of yourselves, all of you ;
and (addressing the karristers in front of the dock)
you and the judges too.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL then proceeded—You have
been convicted by a patient and intelligent jury, and
you have been defended by able counsel
Maria Manning—They did not produce any wit-

nesses.
Mr. Justice CRESS WELL —Who have urged every
topic which their ingenuity and experience taught
them would be available for your defence. You have
been convicted by a jury, upon evidence which I will
venture to say could leave no rational doubt upon the
mind of any human being who heard it that the
verdict was the only one which they could conscien-
tiowly return. Had they failed to return that verdict,
it would. have been very difficult to convince me that
.they had not shrunk from the due discharge of their
duty, so completely was I satisfied, by the evidence
which I heard detailed by the different witnesses, of
the guilt of both of you.
Maria Manning—The witnesses in my favour were
not called.
Air. Justice CRESS WELL continued :—The crime of
which you have been found guilty is the highest
crime of which one individual can be guilty against
another, and is at all times a most horrible offence.
But this murder is as cold-blooded, as deliberate, and
as calculated as I ever remember to have heard or
read of. Under the pretence and guise of friend-
ship—nay more, of affection, for that was the sub-
scription to the letter inviting the deceased to dinner
on the 8 h—under that pretence, this unhappy man
was allured to the place where his grave had probably
then bean prepared for him, and where too the deed
was to be consummated which, no doubt, you had
been for days and for weeks concocting. It
is one of the most appalling instances of
human_ wickedness certainly which the annals
of even this court can disclose. He went to
your house ; probably he bad been leading a
vicious course of life—bow that may be I do not pro-
fess to know ; but whatever his course of life might
have been—without a moment's warning or a mo-
ment's preparation—without the slightest opportunity
of thinking of his past life, whether guilty or inno-
cent—without any opportunity for endeavouring to
ask pardon for any offence which he might have com-
mitted, this unhappy man was hurried into eternity.
The law, more merciful than you, allows you a space
of time for preparation for death. It appears that one
of you, upon a former occasion, asked the question of
a young man where he thought murderers went. The
time has now arrived when it will behove both of you
to ad< yourselves that question, and to ask it of the
man appointed to teach you what you have to hope
and what you have to fear. As I can hold out not the
slightest prospect of any mitigation of the sentence
I am about to pronounce, I am bound to tell you
that, so far as human judgment goes, your doom is
irretrievably fixed when your sentence is passed ; and
I advise you, therefore, to resort with all humility
and with all candour to the advice and counsel of the
minister of the Gospel appointed to attend you. From
him you will receive all the consolation which in your
unhappy condition he can, consistently with the dis-
charge of his duty, afford to you. From him you
will learn what you have to fear. No doubt he will
point out to you in strong terms the full extent of
your guilt; ar,d I am sure he will rejoice to give you,
if in his conscience he thinks he can, hopes of pardon
hereafter, which in this world you cannot expect.
To his care I consign you—to his advice I exhort
you to resort. Whatever assertions you may make
whatever indignation you may express, and really
or affectedly feel, and manifest with respect to the
course of proceedings this day—depend upon it that
others will judge very differently ; and I doubt if
there is one who has heard this trial who is not as well
satisfied as I am that the result of it is the only one
which is consistent with justice. (His Lordship
having put on the black cap, then said)—Having
given you this warning and advice, which I pray you
once more to receive in all humility, it remains for
me but to pronounce the dread sentence of the law,
which is, that you be taken hence to her Majesty's
gaol for the county of Surrey, and thence to the place
of execution, and that you there be severally hanged
by the neck until you are dead, and after death that
your bodies be buried within the precincts of that
gaol in which you shall be confined after the passing
of this sentence ; and may the Lord have mercy upon
your souls!
Mr. Streight—Amen.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL—This court does now
commit you, to the gaol of the county of Surrey, there
to remain in the custody of the sheriff of the county
until your execution takes place.
Maria Manning—My Lord, you have given me an
unjust judgment.
Mr. Justice CRESWELL—Remove the prisoners.
Upon the 'turnkeys removing her form the dock,
she exclaimed, "Base and shameful England ;" and
indignantly threw into the body of the court some
pieces of rue which she held in her hand, a quantity
of which is usually placed in the front of the dock.
The male prisoner left the dock without saying a
word.
The prisoners having been removed from the bar,
the court was adjourned at a quarter past seven
o'clock.

LAW I:NTIMLIGENCE.
COURT OF B AiNiKR UP I CY, Oct. 06.
(Before Mr. Commi.isioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE J. COGAN.
The bankrupt was a glass t urchant, of LeiceAer-
square, and to- day applied for . his certificate, supported
by Mr. Lawrence. The fiat issued two years ago,
and the bankrupt passed his last examination in July
last. His debts were 3,8801., liabilities 8061., assets
about 1,0001.
Mr. Reid, for the assignees, opposed upon the
ground that the bankrupt had continued to trade after
he must have known that he was in a state of insol-
vency, and that upon the eve of bankruptcy he had
placed himself under the care of his attorney, who also
had possession of his property.
His Holsouß said that, looking at the lapse of time
s:nce the fiat issued, the bankrupt might have his cer-
tiliCate, but it would be of the third class.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Patrick Nakony, alias Roberts, a lad of about 16,
was charged evith a burglary.
It appeared that the prisoner had contrived 'to
secrete himself in the shop of Mr. Grossmith, a soap
merchant, 135, Strand, while the premises were being
closed on Wednesday evening. The inmates of the
house were disturbed in the night, and at about four
o'clock in the morning they found some one forcing
the panelling of a side-door which led to the private
entrance. The police were called in, and they entered
the shop, but nearly an hour elapsed before they.dis-
zovered the prisoner, who, hearing the alarm had
concealed himself behind a pile of goods near the
ceiling, where he was found completely curled up.
Mr. C. Grcssmith identified several coats, pocket-
books, &c , which, with the contents of a cash-box,
desk, and some drawers, which the prisoner had
broken open, were piled up ready for removal if he
had succeeded in effecting an egress without detection.
The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was fully
committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.
Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the B division of
police, having communicated to Mr. Broderip, imme-
diately upon his arrival at the court, that the missing
man at Chelsea, M'Gowran or M'Guire, had been
found, as stated in our paper of yesterday, and was
at present in St. Margaret's workhouse, the magistrate
immediately despatched Cain, the gaoler, to the
House of Detention, to bring up the three persons,
Thomas M'Donald, Mary his wife, and Mary Fox,
who *aye undergone several examinations during the
last month, and who stood remanded until Wednesday
next, with a view of immediately securing the testi-
mony of M'Gowran, and at once binding him over to
prosecute for the robbery.
Upon the accused being placed in the dock,
M.Gowran, who is a wild, strange looking man,
between 50 and 60 years of age, stood foward, and
having, in reply to an inquiry from Mr. W. Taylor,
the chief clerk, stated that he had a charge to make
against the prisoners, proceeded with his evidence,
but in a hurried and incoherent manner. He stated
that on a Monday after the 20th of September, his
mind being so confused that he could not tell the
[ precise date, he received 701. and two silver
watches from the offices of the French Embassy,
with which he returned home to his lodging in
Chelsea, and in the evening he went out and met with
Mrs. Conden, who had a few days previously done a
little job for him, and went with her to a public-
house, near Chelsea College. They had not been
there long when the male prisoner, M'Donald, came
in, and prosecutor, disliking his company, told him
to be off, but he remained, and after a little time the
prosecutor offered him some drink. They all then
left that house and went to another, accompanied by
a third person. Upon leaving the second house he
was about to see Mrs. Conden home, and the women
commenced quarrelling. (Here the prosecutor paused,
and was either unable or unwilling to continue the
chain of narrative.) At five in the morning he was
walking with a policeman near Chelsea College, and
had something to drink with him, when the constable
told him to take care of his money ; and seeing
M'Donald coming out of the court where he lived, he
spoke to him and went into his house, and had some
recollection about having been there before, and seeing
beer brought in. When he entered M'Donald's, at
five o'clock, he had his gold in his pocket, and felt
it there in the purse ; he sat down on a chair, and
shortly afterwards fell asleep, and when he awoke,
in what he considered to be about two hours,
his money was gone. At the time he fell asleep,
Mr. and Mrs. M'Donald, to the best of his belief;
were the only persons in the room, but when
he awoke Mrs. M'Donald and her husband were
gone. Mrs. Fox and two combmakers, who lived in
the house, were present, but he did not think Mrs.
Fox had anything whatever to do with it. He in-
quired where Mrs. M'Donald was, suspecting that she
had taken his money, and the answer was so unsatis-
factory that he ran out, and meeting Mrs. ii,i'Donald's
little boy and the landlord's girl, made search for her,
but thinking she had concealed herself, he abandoned
it and went home. After lying down for a few
hours he got up, and in a moment of despair left the
place altogether.
In reply to inquiries from Mr. BRODERIP as to
what became of him after that, M'Gowran said he
came to Westminster and lodged for a night, then
went down to London-bridge and to Horne s, to see
about his boxes, and proceeded to Deptford, in the
neighbourhood of which, and adjacent places in
Kent, he had endeavoured to get a living by hawking
hooks. He never went again for his boxes, as his
mind being perplexed and disturbed, he thought, as
he had lost his money, he might as well lose his
clothes, and so he gave up all thoughts of either.
He had never since he had been away seen a news-
paper until last Sunday, when ha took up a portion
of the Dispatch, bat saw nothing about himself in it.
In continuation of his examination by the Chief
Clerk, he stated that he had known the M'Donalds
since January last. He declared most positively that
he had never given Mrs. M'Donald any of the
money, nor entered into any arrangement of any sort
to elope with her, which was alleged by her when first
taken into custody upon this charge, with the addi-
tion that he had given her the money as a guarantee
of his intentions. The watches were not stolen from
him.
Mr. BRODERIP having inquired whether the ac-
cused wished to make any answer to this charge,
The male prisoner said he was innocent.
The woman M'Donald, in a canting whining
tone, addressing M'Gowran said, "Father, I'll
not say anything to fill a newspaper ; you stand there,
and I stand here, and you know it must be the
liquor taken that makes you forget, father, or you'd
remember my poor husband sat in his chair, and you
lay in his place all that night. My husband is as
innocent as my baby, and for the money it's a won-
der I'd a penny of it left, I am such a fool if I have
any money. Father, you'd know how the night
passed with us if it wasn't for the drop taken. (To
the magistrate)—He gave me the money; he arranged
for me to meet him, and he'd not do this, but he for-
gets it."
Fox denied all knowledge of the robbery.
Mr. BRODERIP said he felt it his duty to commit
them all for trial, but they would be again brought
up to-morrow (this day) to have the case completed
against them ; but as the case against Fox was slight
he would take bail, if she could procure it, for her
appearance at the sessions.
M'Gowran was then bound over to prosecute, there
being some very cogent reasons for the course adopted
by the magistrate, to which we shall have an oppor-
tunity afforded us of further alluding.

PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER•SQUARE.—
Yesterday morning a vestry meeting of the parish of St.
George, Hanover-square, was held at the board-room,
Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, for the purpose of
considering an order served upon the churchwardens by
the Commissioners of the General Board of Health.
under the provisions of the 12ila and 13th Victoria, c. 3,
in reference to the burial-ground of the parish, situate
at Bayswater. The Rev. H. Howarth, 8.D., the rector,
occupied the chair; and amongst the gentlemen present
were Lord Foley (one of the churchwardens), the Hon.
Captain Duncombe, General D'Oyley, Admiral Bowles,
M.P., the Hon. E. Phipps, the Rev. Mr. Fuller, the Rev
E. Nepean, and many others. Mr. Chappell, the vestry
clerk, having read the correspondence with the Board of
Health, a long and interesting conversation ensued with
regard to the duties of the Board of Health and the
churchwardens in such matters, and some doubts having
been expressed with regard to the necessity for discon
arming interments fur the future in the Bayswater
burial-ground, it was ultimately resolved unanimously,
that the order of the Board of Health should be com-
plied with, and a portion of the graveyard in question be
closed forthwith.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Last night, at ten o'clock, a
very alarming fire, which in the course of a few minutes
gained such an ascendancy as to illuminate great part of
London, broke out in the premises occupied by Mr.
Bascall, chairmaker, No. 52, Broad wall, Blackfriars, ex-
tending into Ronpell-street, Lambeth. The information
having been dispatched to the engine-stations, in the
course of a few minutes the West of England engine
arrived, and was followed by numerous others of the
London brigade. Unfortunately, although the hose of
the engines was stretched, and tho engines well manned,
not a drop of water could be obtained for some minutrs,
the turncock having been called to an alarm of fire in
the neighbourhood of the Westminster-road. The mo-
ment he arrived an abundant supply of water was ob•
tained from the Lambeth mains, from which the Wrst
of England and Southwark-bridge road engines were set
to work; but the fire having progressed into the cow-
houses of Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jame; the poor animals
were nearly suffocated with smoke, when Mr. Deputy
Barrow, with a gentleman named Swale, police-sergeant
Harris, and several others, succeeded, at the danger of
being gored by the animals' horns, in,liberating 23 cows
and one horse. By eleven o'clock the fire was extin-
guished, but not until Mr.Bascall'a property was entirely
destroyed, and the adjoining premises injured. The
cause of the fire is unknown.
Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from
the Colonial office for the Governors of the North
American colonies.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.

(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
SINDE'PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the unclaimed
shares of the officers and men of the 41st Regiment
have been received from Bengal at the East India
House, and it is to be hoped that the distribution to
the several claimants wilt take place without delay.
The regiment was under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Booth, whose share amounts to 9771. 12s. Bd. ;
the Majors, 6511. 15s. each ; the Captains, 3251. 17s.
6d. each ; the Lieutenants, the Adjutants, the Ensigns,
and Assistant Surgeons, 1621. 183. 9d. each ; the
Paymaster and Surgeon, 3251. 17a. 61. each ; the
Sergeant Major and Quartermaster Sergeant, 81. 2s.
lid. each ; the Sergeants, Si.Bs. 7d. each ; the rank
and File and Drummers, 21.145. each. Total amount
due to the Corps, 8,7221. 143.
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
howitz m.s, 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 Impregnable, 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 a 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 f.or 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.—ThO 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.—e-The decease Of

Sir James Whitehead, Bart., G.C.B , is, we 'egret 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 DUBLlN..—Brevet-Major Mylius,
26aa Regiment, we have reason to believe, will be the
successful candidate for the situation of Town Major
of Dublin.
SHIPS READY FOR TAB PENDANT.—The following

ships are ready for immediate commissioning at
Devonport :—Thunderer, 84, Belleisle, troop two-
decker, Calliope, 28, Arachne, 18, Racehorse, 14, and
Harlequin, 12. The above are in addition to the ad-
vanced steam-vessels Gladiator, Sampson, Virago,
Salamander, Jackal, &c.
THE BREVET AND THE ROYAL MARINES.—By some
accident the brevet promotion of Captain John's,
1-I.m , of H.NI 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
rectised on Tuesday or Friday next, as the brevet
promotion has been made.
We are sorry to hear that Admiral Sir Edward
Codrington, G.C.8., G.C.M.G., is seriously indis-
posed. Although this gallant and distinguished offi-
cer (now the third on the HA 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
depot at Maidstone, is a candidate fur the post of
Master of the Ceremonies at Bath, vice General
Jervis.
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 of this day.)
The mining share market continues in much the
same position as last week. A fair demand for shares
in leading nines 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
looked better. West Setons are also in request, the
improvements continuing in the 55 fm. level, at pre-
sent worth 501. per fm.
Stray Park and East Pool are represented to have
improved in the discoveries recently reported.
In Camborne Consols, a valuable discovery has been
made in the 20 fathom level, from whence some
stones of silver ores have been taken. We have seen
some of the specimens having a regular vein of native
silver running through them. Two assays have been
made, which give respectively 1,275 ounces and 1,0471
ounces to the ton of ore. The specimens we have seen
are fur richer. A demand for shares has been the
result.
In Wheal Tremayne a great improvement has been
made ; in one level the lode is stated to be worth 901.
per fathom. A profit of 5001. was made during► the
last two months, and the probability is that an increase
will be made.
' flolmbush is stated to have considerably improved
in the Flap-jack lode, now producing 8 tons of ore to
the fathom.
- -

Wz.st Wheal Providence shares have been done at
an advance, arising from an improvement in the ad-
joining mine of Wheal Tremanye ; 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 - naeeting, 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 lAth inst. ; the state-
ment of accounts show a balance of 2491. 17s. 4d.
against the adventurers, and a call of 103. 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 41 tons of very rich ore
per month ; and as an improvement is anticipated in
the 20 fah level the mine will then be in a profitable
position.
At the West Wheal Providence quarterly account,
there appeared a profit of 529/. 15s. 4.1 , 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-
mavne, which immediately adjoins this sett.
East Pool account, for August and September,
shov..ei a loss of 210/. An important discovery has
been made above the 16 fin. level—the lode being
worth about 401. 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 3,104/.

The National Brazilian advices are to the 22d
August. The produce from Cocaes, from the 4th to
the 13± of August, is mks. 7 1 2 71 ; and from the
agent's•report of the Cuiaba mines, the prospect and
general appearance of the lode favours the presump-
tion, that some good ground will shortly be opened
at Le Page's stopes. Tne 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 snore 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 Reyes
property, was promising to surpass in productive-
ness the workings in that celebrated mine. A con-
ducta is expected to leave for the coast in October,
by which a remittance of from 30,000 dolls. to 40,000
dolls. will be forwarded for shipment to the directors.
The Bulanos letters, to the 3d of September, give
the general operations for the month of August.
The Celestina and La Grange Alines made a profit
of 1,206 6 7 dolls., and El Bote sustained a loss of
167 2 7 dolls.
