THE NEWMARKET ROBBERY—ITS SEQUEL.
The body of Mr. Arthur Preston, alias Panestou,
whose connexion with the got up sfli,ir at Newmarket
must be fresh in the memory of our readers, was found
in a pond at iver, near Uxbridge, on the 3,1 inst., in so
advanced a stage of decomposition that it could only be
identified by the clothes and the initials on the linen;
it is supposed to have laid in the water al nut two months.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Atonal of this day.)
Notwithstanding the check given in the early part of
the week to most of the public securities by the uosettleel
state of the Government, and the news from Africa, an
active business has been doing in a number of favourite
dividend mines at advanced prices, in several of which
buyers have been more plentiful than sellers. A large
amount-of 'speculative capital has also been again dis-
burled in sew adventarts, some of solid and others of
doubtful character; but, oil the whole, thus far there is
nothing to justify serious c6niplaintealthongh we "could
still Wish- that the sum subscribed to carry out a given
undertiking.we.re mere is accordance with the real wants
of the-usine than with the cupidity of, its projectors.
In the Metal 11arket, Copper is steady, without alte-
ration. Lead not so brisk. English Tin not in much
, demand; Foreign continues firm, although there is but
little doing. Wetterstedt's Patent Metal, and the Yellow
Metal Shea-thing are in fair demand.

• mon) 40 tone.

The Lewis Mines appear to be in a very satisfactory
position. -The last sale of tin ores (30 tons 14 cwts.)
realised 1,638/ Bs. 11d., letivieg a profit on the month',..
working of 513/. Bs. sd. The same quantity (30 tons),
t le agent states. may be expected monthly.
At Wheal Emma (one of the mines belonging to the
Devon Great Consols) .the lode has been cut nine feet
wide, composed of the finest gossan, prian; and ore; the
north wall on the lode has not yet been seen.
•We have vein unusually tine specimens of copper ore
from Bottle Hill Mine in the 24 fm.- level, both from the
old and newly-discovered lode-the former being a yel-
loN e:utphurer, spotted with crystals of green carbonate,
arid the lettee largely intersected with black oxide.
We have .inspected some fine rocks. of copper ore from
..Badmia Wiical Mary, which, as will be seen by our lead-
ing article, nave been forwarded to the Great Exhibition.
There has been a serious dispute , between eAtDborno
Consols and Camborne Venn and Stray-park, the latter
contending the - ore offered at tickettng was rose
within their limits. The sale was opposed, hut ulti-
rtiee!y i ffectcd, by both parties signing an undertaking
that the
,proceeds shetill remain in the hands of the pur-
chaers to abide the issue. Strappark is thought to be
in ttie,right..
