EXHIBITION OF ARMOUR AT SAVILLE
HO USE, LEICESTER-SQUARE.
(THIS DAY.)
We attended this morning a private view of the
splendid collection of armour which will be opened to
the public on Monday, at Saville House, Leicester-
square. The collection comprises many hundred pieces
of engraved, inlaid, and battle armour, in the finest state
of preservation; indeed, as a collection of battle armour
of the 15th and 16th centuries, it may be pronounced to
be the largest and most complete in the world. This
splendid hii orient collection is well known to connoisseurs
as the Maximilian collection, having formerly belonged
to the EMperors Maximilian I. and 11. It was in Bel-
gium about forty years since, and a very large sum was
asked for its purchase; it was subsequently imported
into this country, and remained in the Custom-house
warehouse for nearly thirty years, from whence it was
purchased by the present proprietor. In addition to the
armour, there is to be found in this hall every variety of
offensive weapon in use in the fifteenth century; some
of the rapiers are exceedingly beautiful. This exhibi-
tion is, as a whole, most interesting.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
A slight change for the better is perceptible in our
market, both in the inquiry fOr shares and business done
—the latter being chiefly, as usual, in dividend mines;
but, on the whole, the value of these shares is on the de-
cline, for which the legitimate reason may be found in
their having ruled at too high prices a few months ago;
still, favourite dividend shares are not easily acquired,
except at advanced rates—the tenacity with which they
are held being in accordance with their intrinsic value.
In other undertakings, a diminution of demand is too
apparent not to become a noticeable feature in the
week's operations; whilst the %ore ephemeral projects
of the day have become, as theyought to be, utterly ne-
glected ones.
LI the Metal Market, Copper moves off steadily.—
Lead is quiet, and rather easier.—But little has been
done in Tin, and prices aro quite nominal.—A moderate

re-admitted, and

The CIidIEMAN announced that the Committee had
come to the decision that the vote of William Pinner
was! bad vote.

This placed Mr. Crawford, the unsuccessful candidate,
in a majority of onr.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, on behalf of Prinser,
the sitting Member, called upon the counsel for the
petitioners either to proceed with the remaining putt of
their case, re: pccting the disqualification of Mr. Prinsep
on the ground of bribery, or to abandon it, and allow him
to enter upon a scrutiny of the votes polled by Mr.

but he objected to the petitioners calling upon him to do
so while they reserved some allegations for the sifter
consideration of the Committee.

Mr. JAMES contended that is was duty of his Learned
Friend to proceed now with his case. If he did not, he
should call upom the Committee to declare Mr. Craw-
ford elected, as ho was in a majority of one vote over Mr.
Pripsep.
