Several shares in Devon Great Consols have changed
hands during the week. The gratifying nature of the
directors' annual financial statement, furnished to the
shareholders preparatory to the yearly meeting, has no
doubt brought the many purchasers in the market.
We learn that a run has taken place in Wheal Maria,
between the 28 and 40 fin. levels, bringing away about
800 tons of copper ore.
Kircudbright shares have been in request, and several
transactions have taken place at an advance on former
quotations.
South Tolgus. South Wheal Basset, West Caradon,
Condurrow, Levant, West Buller, and South Frances,
have been in demand.
West Caradon is stated to have considerably improved,
a valuable discovery having been made in a north lode
by a cross-cut extended from the 120 fm. level.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week, viz. :—Devon Great Consols, Mary Ann,
Trehane, East Pool, Grambler and St. Aubyn, Great
Rough Tor Consols, Stray Park, West Wheal Jewel,
Sharp Tor, Kingsett and Bedford, Canaborne Consols,
East Tamar, Bedford United, South Tamar, Tgroproft,
Tamar Consols, Wellington, Treleigh Consols, Drake
klolmbush, &c
The report of the Kinaigthal Mining Company, read
at the meeting held on Friday, is of a favourable
character. In St. Michael, one of the five mines worked
by the company, operations had been carried on for
testing the value of the lode, in the prosecution of which
it became necessary to drain the mine. A quantity of
ore had been raised from the silver and cobalt mines in
the Wittichen district; but the pocket of native silver,
mentioned at the last meeting, had not yet realised
the expectations entertained. But, exclusive of
this, the quantity of cobalt ore raised would,
the Chairman thought, yield a satisfactory
result for the year. The prospects of the copper mine
were such as to afford the best anticipation of future
profit ; and this alone would pay a handsome dividend,
whieh would be largely increased by the pocket of rich
native silver referred to. The funds, including those
arising from the sale of ore in stock, were deemed suffi-
cient for the operations of the company to the end of the
year. The expenses were about 2001. monthly, and no
liabilities of importance were incurred. The report was
unanimously adopted.
Since the meeting of the Wheal Seton adventurers, at
which the statement of accounts, showing a balance of
1691. 3s. sd. in favour of the company, was made, the
agent's report of the mine has reached us. The rise in
the back of the 90 fin. level, on the north taunter lode, is
producing 12 tons of ore per fm. The 80 end, and the
slopes in the back, are producing 8 tons per fm. The
stopes in the back of the 70 are returning 14 tons per
fm. The stopes in the back of the 60 produce 6 tons
per fun. All the other levels and stopes are producing
4,3, and 2 tons per fm. respectively. Upon the whole,
we consider the mine to be in an improving position.

BANK OF FRANCE.
The following is a return of the situation of the Bank
of France up to April 19:—

The meeting of the Wheal Forte:cue adventurers,
held on the 13th instant, at which the accounts from
September to February inclusive were audited, showed
a balance of 951. 3s. 9d. in favour of the adventurers. The
adventurers have taken the West Wheal Maria sett,
which will give an extensive piece of ground, through
Whieh the south lobes run. The engine-shaft is down
to within 2i rms. of the point from whence it is pro-
posed to drive a cross-cut, to intersect the Great Wheal
Maria lode, which, at the 20 fm. level, appeared very
promising. To earry out these operations a call of 1/.
per share was made.
By the statement of accounts at the East Pool meeting
it appears that the balance against the mine is 1371. 17s.
Bd. The ores sold (I---s dues) amounted to 9231. Ils. id.;
the costs and merchant,' bills, 1,0471. 63. 3d.
The accounts of the Wheal Mary (Redruth) show a
balance in favour of the purser of 3671. 63. sd. The
ore,; "ii,ll amounted to 4441. 10s. I Id. A call of 10i. a

share was nide.
The bienenthly meeting of Condurrow adventurers
wee held en Mouthy, for the purpose of auditing the
accounts for Fehrusry and March. The balance-sheet
presents a profit of 37/ Is. lid. on the two months'
evotkii g, carrying a credit of 236/. 19s. 3d. to the next
account, exclusive of the copper ore sold on the sth,
amounting to 1,569/. 45., which is not shown in the
statement. The manager's report of the mine states,
that the engine-shaft will be down to the 80 fathom
level by next month, which has gone through the
lode for 2 fathoms, and is estimated worth 40/.
per fathom. The 70 east has been driven on a
very productive lode for 2.7 fms. ; 8 fins, further east a
wince has been sunk on he lode from the level above,
producing four tons of ore per fm.; on the north a por-
tion of the lode has been left standing, producing four
tons per fin., which has not yet been ascertained to be a
distinct lode ; the 70 west is not at present so productive
as it has been for the last 8 fins. On the Llandour lode
a wince is sinking under the 30 fm. level, east of Pryor's
shaft, worth 151. per fm. Extensive tutwork is in ope-
ration to render Condurrow a profitable and permanent
mine.
The usual bi-monthly meeting of the Levant adventu-
rers took place on Monday last, when a dividend was de-
clared of 121. per 160th share, leaving a balance of 1,100/.
in the purser's hands.
In foreign mines we have little to notice, the transac-
tione in shares having been very limited. The chief
business has been in St. John del Rey, Copispo, United
Mexican, Guadalcanal, and Real del Monte shares.
The report of the Allen Mining Association fur
February shows a return of 151 tons for the month.
Nearly all the mines are represented to have improved;
whilst, at Carl Jolein's, the ludo has increased to nearly
3 feet wide, with a course of solid ore. The proprietors
may be congratulated on their present prospects, which
are as promising, if not indeed brighter than at any
former period.
Letters from south Australia, dated Adelaide, to the
24th of January, state that the Burrs Burra Company
had ceased taking up more vessels for freight of ore.
The late quarrel between the managers of the mine and
the miners had been satisfactorily arranged, and the lat-
ter were fully employed. The smelting works of the
company were expected to be shortly in operation. 324
tons of ore had left the mine for the week ending Ith
of January, and 500 tons more were forwarded to Port
Adelaide during she same week. We find it stated
that the Governor of the colony and his lady were about
to pay a visit to the mines; and the chairman, accompa-
nied by, some of the directors had left Port Adelaide for
the purpose of receiving them. The last quotations of
eh res were—Berra Burrs, 125/.; Princess Royal, 10/ ;
Adelaide, 11.; Kapunda.:2/.; Enterprise, 11 10s.; Paringa,
21. 10s.; Port Lincoln, 5/. 55.; Wheal Gawler, 20/.; Prince
Albert, 21. Nothing of importance had occurred with
respect to the other mines.

BASK OF ENGLAND WEEKLY
STATEMENT.

The changes in the Bank of England weekly state-
ment to the 14th are very material, arising chiefly from
the dividend payments. The amount taken from the
pubic deposits, and w`aich it may fairly be con-
elud• d passed almost entirely into the hands of
ariautanti, was considerable, and there has since the re-
turn been, no doubt, a further reduction. On the other
hand, we have striking evidence of the abundance
of unemployed money in banking and other cir•
Iles, for the other deposits have been greatly
augmei.ted, and the ',cans upon other securities sensibly
curtailed. To some extent this is usual, be-
cause advances are liner/ repayable upon the re-
opening of the transfer books. The active circulation
has increased and the bullion has decreased, hut without
reference to exports of the precious metals, we might
account for the latter upon the supposition that part of the
dividends would he received in cash, a large number
of persons taking amounts under 101., and not requir-
ing note. Wren we look at such a return as
that before us, including nearly twelve millions in pri-
vate (1,,p )sits, and not far short of fifteen millions in the
precious metals, we cannot wonder at money being worth
only 2,4 to 3 per cent., or at the exportations of some
amount being, considered a positive relief:—

THE LIYERPooL MURDERS.

The excitement in the public mind relative to the LlD-
happy fate of Mrs. Hinrichson, her children, and servants,
has, in some degree, subsided; but still great anxiety
exists to learn the early history of the man who has given
th e name of John Gleeson Wilson, and who has been
cornmitted on the charge of wilful murder. Our excel-
lent head constable, Mr. Dowling, has at length been
ensbled to obtain some authentic particulars as to the
supposed murderer, and as these may be confidently re-
lied on, they will scatter to the winds all the unfounded
statements and suspicions which have been afloat on this
subject.
The real name of the prisoner is Maurice Gleeson.

than two y ears ago, in consequence of having been
charged with a robbery, although the crime was not
clearly proved against him. Since he left his father.. ,t

to Plymouth, where he worked for a few months

to London, and lived for some time in Limehouse,
About ten months ago he came to Liverpool, and took
