LEEDS,FLBRUAZY 20.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The markets have looked better during the
week, but without any very decided movements; to-day, however,
the business transacted has been without animation, and at some
small reduction in the quotations of many stocks. As contrasted
with the prices of Saturday last, a small improvement is to be notul
in East Lancashires, Huddersfield and Manchester., Dewsburys,
Matlocks, North Staffordshires, North-Westerns, and West Biding
Unions. Thirsks are all better, and in demand, rumours of amalga-
mation being again afloat. North British shares are all a little
higher; East and West Yorkshires are also better, but do not fully
maintain the improvements of the earlier part of the week. Melton
and Driffields are firm. Leeds 321. shares (late Extensions) are doing
at 214 p. to-day, but with appearances of giving way. The sales are

FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF NORTITUMBER-
LAND.—The remains of this lamented nobleman were re-
moved on Friday last from Alnwick Castle, and will on
Tuesday be consigned to the vault of his ancestors in West-
minster Abbey. The body was conveyed in a itearse drawn
by six horses, and attended by the household of his Grace's
establishment and a numerous body of tenantry, 300 of whom
were on foot and GOO on horseback. The magistrates and
clergy of the county of Northumberland preferred a request
to be allowed to follow the remains in a body, but the re•
quest was respectfully declined by his Grace's relatives, it
being their wish to have the attendance confined to the im-
mediate dependants on the family, the townspeople, and
the tenantry. The shops in the town of Alnwick were
closed, and the bells of the churches and of the Town-hall
tolled at intervals. Nearly the whole male population
of the town joined the procession. About a mile from
Alnwick the procession halted, and the townspeople and
members of the household tiled off. Three miles fur-
ther another halt was made, and the tenantry filed
off, and the procession, reduced to the hearse, the
private carriage of his Grace, that of the Duchess, and a
mourning coach with four horses, proceeded onward by
Felton and Alorpeth to Newcastle, being met at every stage
of its progress by the mournful demonstrations of respect of
the inhabitants of the various places through which it passed.
At Newcastle it was met by the Mayor in his state carriage
and the authorities of the town, and by a great number of
gentlemen on horseback, upwards of thirty private carriages,
and a large body of tenantry. The concourse of spectators
was immense, the bells of the churches being tolled and
minute guns fired from the Castle. On reaching Tyne-
bridge the procession was met by the Mayor and corpora-
tion of Gateshead, the flags on the ships in the river being
hoisted half-mast high. At the railway station the hearse
with the coffin in it was at once run on to a truck and se-
cured in the usual manner. This caused some disappoint-
ment to those who expected to get a view of the coffin. The
arrangements throughout appear to have been very judicious.
The manner in which the immense crowd of people who
witnessed the possession exhibited their respect for the de-
ceased is the best testimony to his character and of their
regret for his loss. It is understood that there will be no
lying in state, but that to-day the private friends of his Grace
will be admitted to Northumberland-house.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES IN MINERALS IN WEST
AUsTaALIA.—We have been favoured with communications
from Sir James Stirling (the first Governer of the colony),
Mr. T. R. C. Walters, and Mr. A. Shenton, announcing dis-
coveries of minerals by their respective correspondents. Sir
James Stirling's letters inform him that traces of a mine of
copper or lead, or both have been discovered on his Wood-
bridge estate, as well as indications of coal ; also, that on
Government land, about eighteen or twenty miles from Guild-
ford, a mine of tin, with a large proportion of silver, has been
discovered. This letter is from Mr. Abraham Jones, of
Woodbridge, and is dated " 15th September," from Guildford.
Mr. Shenton writes (under date " September 13th"), " We
are now in a state of great excitement respecting minerals,
good specimens of the ores of copper and tin being found ;
and great hopes are entertained of the coal mines." Mr.
Walters' letters announce the discovery of copper on the
grant of Mr. Lukin, at the Toodyay about twelve or four-
teen miles west of Mr. Davey's grant; and on Mr. Demp-
ster's, six or seven miles north of it, ore supposed to be of
tin or platina.—From the Swan River News fur February.
DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, as a
man was walking towards the entrance of Victoria-park, he
perceived a quantity of blood close to a gravel pit, and on
proceeding towards it discovered the body of a man in the
pit with his throat cut, and quite dead. He immediately
informed the police, who conveyed the body to the Hackney
workhouse, where it remains awaiting a coroner's inquest.
The deceased was about thirty-eight years of age, and was
respectably dressed. He must have first inflicted the wound,
and during his struggles have rolled into the pit. At present
he has not been identified.
