Letters from Naples of the 29th state that the Pope
intended to proceed to Portici on the 4th, where it
was expected he would remain two or three weeks.
During his residence there he purposes visiting a
number of churches in the neighbourhood, after which
his intention was to proceed to Benevento, and take
up his residence in some town of the Papal dominions
before finally returning to Rome. The same letters
mention that Naples was perfectly tranquil, so much
so that no one would suppose that it had passed
through a revolution.
The Tuscan Government has negotiated with the
house of Rothschild for a loan of 20,000,000 'lyres.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
A fair amount of business has been transacted this
week in the mining share market; and from the general
improvements in the mines and advance in the standard,
we may reasonably expect a proportionate increase.
The inquiries for shares in our leading and dividend-
paying mines have been active; but sellers are generally
seeking higher prices, and actual business is thereby
delayed, by the necessary negotiations which are going on.
East W heal Rose, West Caradon, and South Wheal
Frances, have paid their bi•monthly dividends since our
last notices, and have created buyers in consequence.
Devon Great Consols, South Basset, North Pool, West
Seton, South Tolgus, and Treviskey and Barrier, are
being sought for at or about former quotations.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week:—East Wheal Rose, Devon Great
Consols, South Tamar, North Pool, West Caradon,
Mary Ann, Trelawny, Bedford United, Tamar Consols,
South Molton, Kingsett and Bedford, Trehane, South
Josiah, Cwm Erfin, Camborne Consols, Mendip Hills,
East Buller, Wellington Mines, South Tolgus, Wheal

Comfort, 1 releigh.

meedations are to further explore the Flap -jack lode in
the 100, and to cut it in the 110 and 120 fm. levels,
which is estimated to cost 500/. per month ; but great
expectations are entertained that a good proportion of
this will be covered by is known at the outset ores raised, and the greatest
loss which fan happen .
