HAMBURGH.

The Hamburgh papers of the 21st publish the fol-
lowing proclamation of the Senate :
" There =re a variety of false rumours gone abroad on
the subject of the stay in this town of a large number of
Prussian troops ; the Senate has resolved to declare,
and by these presents declarea, that the Prussian Go-
vernment has engaged to r esprct the rights and the in-
dependence of our Republic. The measure has been
caused by the lamentable events of the 13th of August,
in consequence of which the Prussian Government has
found it necessary to leave a certain number of troops
in this city until further notice shall have been given,
in order to prevent the recurrence of like events in
our city, which is a point of communication for the troops
which at present are in the Duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein.

" The Government of his Majesty the Kim,- of Prussia
has, besides, thought proper to observe, that however
unwilling to interfere with domestic affairs, still no
neighbouring state can allow the continual attacks and
intrigues which proceed from Hamburgh, and which
make our city the centre of the agitation of the revolu-
tionary party in the north of Germany.
" The Senate has not, either directly or indirectly,
caused or promoted the entry of the Prussian troop;
but under the present circumstances, and after these
declarations of the Prussian Government, it is not pos-
sitle for the present to free the town from having
troops quartered even upon the peaceable citizens who
to,k no part in the disturbances. The Senate, how-
ever, will do all in its power to lighten the burden as
much as possible, and for this purpose the Senate sum-
mons t'ie citizens of Hamburgh to assist in the mainte-
nance of tranquillity as the surest means to put a term
to the present state of things, and to ensure the welfare
of Hamburgh. "The SENATE in COUNCIL.
"August 21,1849."

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The amount of business actually transacted this week
bas not been extensive, still we consider the market firm.

Tincrofc appears firm, although many transactions
have not taken place. The reports from the mine are
highly satisfactory, and the improvements progressive.
Tamar Consols is represented as working to a monthly
profit of kbout 4001. Several bargains have been effected
during the week.
South Tamar and Bedford have been in request, and
in the former several transactions have been done, at
progressive advances on former prices. The lode in the
shaft is improving, and they have a very good lode in
the 30.

Trclawny, Mary Ann, West Caradon, South Molton,
&c., have also been in request, sellers generally looking
for higher prices.
East Wheal Rose, South Frances, South Basset, aid
West Buller continue to have ii,quirers.
At South Tolgus they have cut the north lode in the
42, which is larger and more promising than in the 32.
Upwards of 200 tons per month, we hear, is being laid
open, whilst their sales are not more than 100.

Sharei in the following mines have changed hands
during the weak:—Treviskey and Barrier, Trelawny,
West Caradon, Mary Ann, Trehane. Bedford United,
Camborne Consols, South Tamar, Kingsett and Bed-
ford, East Tamar, Tincroft, Tregorden, Tamar Consols,
Esgair Llee, Mendip Hills, and Treleigh.
The Bedford United meeting (adjourned from the
sth July) was held on Thursday last, when a divi-
dend of 1,000/. was declared, being ss. per
share. The cash account shows a balance of
1,558/. 6s. Bd. in favour of the mines, and
the account of liabilities and assets represent the former
at 8501. 4s. 2d., and the latter at 2,8721. 4s. 2d., inde•
pendent of the ores sold on thedayof meeting, estimated
at about 950/. for the month of July. The agent's report
is highly satisfactory, which was fully confirmed by the
worthy chairman, who has recently visited the mine, and
expressed himseaf highly gratified with the general pro-
spects and management of the same.
Condurrow bimonthly account meeting was held on
the 20th, when the statement of accounts showed a
credit of 180/. 12s. 3d., including the balance from last
account. The profit or June and July is about 1111,
and some requisite machinery, &c., amounting to 120/.,
which has been included in the cost-sheets for the pe-
riod. The operations are extensive, and every effort is
being made to bring her into good working order. The
lode in the shaft under the 80 is productive. In the
winze sinking under the 70 east, the lode is worth 10
tons per fathom. The 70 and 80 west, and a winze under
the 80, have good courses of tin. Other points are also
looking favourable.
The Abergwesiin meeting was held on the 15th, and
a call of 21 per share was found necessary. The report
of Captain Matthew Francis speaks favourably of the
lode; hut considers an outlay of 6,000/. for machinery,
and extending the different levels, to more fully develop
the lode, to be necessary, before any profitable result
may be calculated on.

The directors of Camborne Consols, at their monthly
meeting, held on Thursday, made a call, of 11. per share.
The mine is represented to possess many important sod
improving points.
At Wheal Sophia meeting, held on the 2d, a call of
ss. per share was made; a balance of 2L 2s. only being
due to the purser.
At Wheal Friendship it is repDrted that a good disco-
very has been recently made; the south underlayer has
been intersected in the 205 fm. level, estimated worth
about 504 per fm. This mine being in private hands, we
have not the usual facilities of obtaining much informa-
tion respecting her; but we learn that for upwards of
forty-five years, she has been, and still continues, a good
dividend paying mine. The net profit for the 45 years
has been nearly 290,0001. This discovery will, we hope,
place her in her former position of immense pro
fits, as well as give greater encouragement to the several
mines in the immediate locality. Tywarnhaile and
Nancekuke Mines, recently undertaken by the same
management, are represented as being in a very satisfac-
tory and improving position.
In foreign mines there has been a fair proportion of
business done, especially in United Mexican shares,
arising from the gratifying intelligence received by last
mail. Copiapo, St. John del Rey, Cobre, Alten, and
Australian have also been done.
