GERMANY.

A latter from Laipzic of the 4th states that all the
persons arrested t:: re on a charge of being connected
with a communist plot have been set at liberty except
one. On the other hand, however, a letter from Ber-
lin states that there are decided proofs of high treason
en the part of the persons-who have been arrested in
that city.
It is stated from Berlin that the Second Chamber
will be convoked in November, and a new electoral
law be submitted to it.
The Lithographed Correspondence of Berlin, which
receives semi-official communications, asserts, in con-
tradiction to previous statements, that neither Prussia
nor the Germanic Diet has addressed notes to Lord
Palmerston on the subject of the refugees. Austria
alone, it says, has done so.
The Austrian Correspondent, a semi-official journal
of Vienna, declares that the English Government, in
tolerating the demonstrations in favour of Kossuth,
acts contrary to national propriety, and to the obliga-
tions of international law.
A letter from Vienna of the 6th states that the visit
of the Emperor of Austria to Gallicia has been defini-
tively fixed for the middle of next month. It was
said that modifications in the Ministry were about to
be made. The retirement of the Minister of the In-
terior in particular was considered certain, and Count
de Hartig was spoken of as his successor.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
CAPTAIN AUSTIN AND CAPTAIN PENNY.—We
derstand that a most searching investigation will be
instituted into the discrepancy of the statements of
Captain Austin and Captain Penny, with reference
to prosecuting a farther search beyond the Welling-
ton Channel for the Franklin Expedition. The Ser-
vice can expect no more—the country will have no-
thing less. Cattain Penny has arrived in town from
Scotland.
THE ARCTIC PROMOTIONS.—The promotions on
account of the unparalleled services of the officers of
Captain Austin's expedition will be made as soon as
Captain Austin's report is made to the Admiralty.
Lieutenant Gustavus Ellermen (1841) is appointed
mail agent on board a central mail steam-vessel.
THE COLONBLCY OF THE 15TH FOOT.—As usual,
a dozen officers are named at the head-quarters of
gossip (the clubs) for this regiment, not a soul, of
course, knowing anything of the Duke of Wellington's
intentions. We do not attach much faith to any of
the reports, but as we might be considered neglectful
of our duty if we did not name some one as the likely
successor to the vacant colonelcy, we may mention
that the most plausible on dit gives the 15th to Lieu-
tenant. General Sir Howsrd Douglas, and the 99th to
Lieutenant-General Sir John Hanbury.
RELIEFS OF REGIMENTS.—The Select Committee
on Army and Ordnance Expenditure approve of the
system of reliefs that has been adopted with respect
to regiments serving abroad, as it provides for the
regular performance of the military duties in the
colonies, and at the same time secures a fair amount
of home service to the soldier; and upon the prin-
ciple that for every ten years abroad each regiment
shall have five years at least of service at home, ex-
cept in India, where, on account of the great distance
and the heavy expenditure involved in frequent in-
terchanges of regiments, it has not been deemed ex-
pedient to relieve them more frequently than once in
every fifteen years.
Floasn GuAßDS.—Major-General Brown, C. 8.,
the Adjutant-General to the Forces, has returned
from leave of absence, and resumed the duties of his
office at the Horse Guards. Mr. Ferguson, one of the
assistants to the Military Secretary, Lord Fitzroy
Somerset, is better in health, although not yet able
to resume his official duties.
STAFF.—Lient.-General the Right Hon. Sir Ed-
ward Blakeney, G.C.8., Commander of the Forces in
Ireland, has left the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, on
leave, and will return on the Ist November.
THE NEW COLOURS OF THE ROYAL FUSILIERS.
—The regiment proceeded to the garrison chapel on
Sunday last in review order, with fixed bayonets
and colours flying, headed by the Major-General com-
manding the district, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence.
On arriving in the chapel the men ranged themselves
on the benches, their firelocks, with bayonet still
fixed, in their hands, the colours—the new ones
presented to the regiment last week—brought to the
front of the gallery, each with its subaltern supported
by six colour sergeants on the bench immediately be-
hind ; and after the regular morning service the gar-
rison chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Milner, preached a ser-
mon in substance the same as the inauguration ex-
hortation, after which the regiment returned to its
barracks in the same order it marched to chapel.

- MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
Considerable activity has prevailed in the market this
week for speculative mines in particular. Dividend shares
hare been much inquired foe, but transactions in them
have become limited, in consequence of their being chiefly
held as an investment, and tho few who would be willing
to sell looking forward to an advance in price, now that
money is becoming more plentiful, and the expectancy
that the rise in capper will tend to increase mining divi-
dends for some time to come. It cannot be said that in
the former class of mines the transactions are altogether
of a juditiou3 charac'cr, so far as the buyers are con-
cerned, bat yet there is more discrimination shown than
formerly in the selection of investments, and properly so,
when large premiums are demanded. The same apathy
exists, which was a noticeable feature last week, towards
mines quietly progrusing to dividends, and a depression
in their value is the consequence. Very favourable ac-
counts from several undertakings lately commenced
working in the Devon district, and in older ones in the
west of Cornwall, have been received during the week,
as will be noticed in our columns.
In the Bullion Market-Mexican and South Ameri-
can dollars, buyers at 4s. lOad., and 45. 10td. per oz.; the
market is flat. Spanish pillar dollars, ss. per oz.
United States dollars, 45. 1011 per oz. Bar silver con-
taining gold (all gold above 5 grains in the pound to bo
paid for), ss. 01. per oz. standard. Bar silver without
gold, 52, 04d. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 3/. 17e. 9d. per
oz. standard. American gold, 31. 16s. 21cl. to 31. 6s. 3d.
per oz.
In the Metal Market, owing to a large demand, Cop-
per has advanced id. per lb.-A good business doing in
Lead,-Engliah Tin is firm at the quotations; and Fo-
reign has obtained better prices.-Spelter and Quick-
silver have declined in price. The Iron trade is decidedly
better: stocks are small, and foreign orders have been
more bri,k than for some time past.
The copper smelters have at length advanced the price
of sheathing, sheets, and bolts from 90. to 10d. per lb.;
touch ulna from 84/. to 881. 103. per ton; tile from 831.
to 871. 103. We, therefore, hope the minor will speedily
receive a portion of the benefit thereof.
Tfiii'sale of copper or at Thursday's ticketing was
3,025 tons, amounting to 14 896/. 2s. 6d.; the average
produce and standard being 74,1021.; the corresponding
sales last month .was 2,848 tons, 84, 99/. Is.: thus show-
ing the miner does not as yet participate in the lato ad-
vance made upon the price of cake copper by the
smelters.
