SIIEILS WIT'
-The pungent wit of Mr. Shell was
not the least remarkable of his shining qualities. What he
said of a late Irish Member ol Parliament could not have
been surpassed by Congreve. On being asked whether Mr.
had any Irish estate, Sheil exclaimed, " Why, he's an
Irish estate in himself! He is heavily encumbered— he is
openly for sale —and though he has a parliamentary title, he
cart tiud no buyers at all." We may remark that his good
things were always said with a rapidity of utterance and
pungency of manner that doubled their effect. One night
he was asked by Lady Morgan, who was a Mr. —, who
made himself unreasonably conspicuous in Irish agitation ?
"He is patriot to a brewery"—was Sheil's answer—of
which the humour may not be underst od in England.
Put in Ireland, where speculators often trade in porter and
in politics together, the description is thoroughly comic.—

HER 111.-I.TESTYS THEATRE.
blast evening II Prodigo was repeated with increased
effect, and lewd), applauded throughout. As a gorgeous
and fwthtul picture of the manners and customs of a
people who formed a great epoch in the world's history,
this opera is extremely interestiniz. Independently of
the attrsu ions of its simple and affecting story and pretty
characteristic music, there is a charm in the scenery,
dancing:, grouping, costumes, and general miss en scene,
to which we may not easily find a parallel. This is, of
course, mainly to be ettobuted to the peculiar nature of
the subject, which lends itself more reaoil to grand
scenic display than almost any other with which we
are Eccpuiinted throughout the whole range of the oper-
retie repertoire. A rich warm glow of oriental splendour
pervades the whole; and so perfect is the representa-
tion of bye-gone scenes and ceremonies, that the mind
is insensibly carried bock through thousands of years
to contemplate, "in their habits as they lived," the
worshippers of " Isis and Osiris," surrounded by all the
fantastic symbols of their religion.
We assist at their mystic and voluptuous rties; We
gaze upon the effulgent glories of the gay city of tit,,,-
phis, the world-famous fertilising Nile is at our feet,
and the massive columns of the temple of Isis above
our head. The most magnificent processions pass bee
fore our eyes; troops of lovely dancing girls. habited
in brilliant and beautiful costumes, mingle in the scene,
with giddy glee and fascinating gestures; hierspeants,
whose flowing robes are decorated with sparkling gems;
richly caparisoned horses carry warriors in quaint but
splendid uniforms; Nubian slaves, the Egyptian P°P"
lace, including various grades, all
and complete the gorgeous picture.
The scenes in whites these grand displays take place
are those forming the second are present to vary •
and third acts; in both of
these the very perfeution of scenic art is attained.
A happy contrast to all this is afforded by the patri-
archal simplicity and pastoral
peacefulness of Reuben's
t. nts in the Valley of Ges„e. Here, too, the scenery is
beautiful, though of a widely different character, alai
the cc s. limes equally
appropriate.
With respect to the performances of the various artists
who appear iu this opera, we have already expressed at
SUM" length our opinion. It would be difficult, indeed,
to find worthier ropreeentatives of Azeel, Jeftele, and
Nett. than Gardoei, Sontag, and ITealde; and the Rea.
l:111 of Maisel we have already pronounced to be perfect.
Lia, the chief dancer of the Temple, although she hat
speak, is, nevertheless, one of the moat
characters in the piece; and the charming
importantno t a word to
Rosati can scarcely be sufficiently praised for the exqut.
site grace and eloquence of gesture with which she pore
trays it. Her dancing. though replete with the most
refined and spulptural beauties, is not a whit inferior to
her acting, which is characterised throughout by perfect
intelligence andpoetic suggestiveness.

--Despite the gieat hcai—of the weather the house was
well attended, and the audience applauded most heroically.

TEIE PUNSTSICS AT.E.-7-HOW true it is that the
man
who makes a pun will pick a pocket, may be ascer-
tained from the reports of la-.t week's proceeding at the Old
ljailey. It will be found, from reference to those dismal
records, that a man has made a pun—that he has picked a
pocket—that be has been tried, and found guilty. The facts
i
are these :—An infatuated
wretch, of the name of Cotton,
stole a handkerchief; and, on being called upon for' his
defence, he declared " he thought it was his own, because it
was a cotton one." Judge and jury felt at once how muck
the atrocity of pun added to the enormity of the offence.
Who, after this, will dispute the soundness of the axiom,
that the man who can make a pun will pick a pocket? The
thing has been logically proved; and henceforth, whenever
a punster is known to be present in a large assembly, the cry
will be, as a matter of course, "Take care of your pockets
—Punch.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United
.Service Gazette of this day.

THE TWELFTH LANCER3.—It 13 stated to be the in-
tention of the Government to purchase twenty•five of
Colt's revolving, or repeating pistols, for the use of this
Regiment on Gip° Service. We suppose that no more
are to be had at present, or it would seem ridiculous to
supply only that number of men with what is admitted
to be extremely serviceable to cavalry. The carbines or
fusils of ;which we lately spoke (double barrelled) will, it
is saul, cost no more than 41. 103. each.
Msjor-General Henry J4rees Riddell, 1(.H., who has
succ-tded to the Coterieley of the Gal Regiment, vacant
by the decease of Sr John Gardin,T, has been upwards
of 33 years in the service, and served as Deputy-Quar-
fermaster-General at the capture of Copenhagen in
1.807, and as Assistant•Qaartermaster-General on the
eastern coast of Spain and Genoa with the army under
Lord Willismßentinek.

COAST OF AFRlCA.—Privato let'ers from the coast
inform us of the prosp,ct of several courts-martial on
junior officers for drunkenness. The Centaur has come
home witmout one of her mates, Mr. Berry Smith. This
gentleman was accommodated with a ticket of leave at
St,Helentl.

Lieutenant-Colonel Wearing, R.M., met with a se-
rious accident this seek at Plymouth, the Colonel hav-
ing fallen on his head out of a gig.
THE HAUL-DOWN PROMOTION FOR THE COAST OF
AFRICA.—Rear-Admiral FanshaweoC.B., the ex Com-
mandfr-in-Chief ou the coast of Africa, having nomi-
nated his flag-lieutenant. the Admiralty have accordingly
promoted Lieutenant Willoughby J. Lake (1840) to the
rank of commander.

MINING INTELLIGENCE,
(From the alining Journal of this day.)
We the happy to note an improvement in our mining
prospects, there having been a tolerably large amount of
transactions during the week, in the heavy dividend
mines in particular—whilst the same increased. demand
is perceptible followed by transactions, in most of the
smaller, both dividend and non-dividend, concerns; and
we have no doubt that the nearer we approach the
middle of next month the more marked will be the itn-
13rovement in mining property gen'rall.Y. As to prices,
there is scarcely an instance to be noted oc a decline,
whilst, on the other hand, a very marked rise has taken
place in the stocks most sought after.
The Mining
Exchange Committee have called a meet-
ing
of its members fur Teei lay next, when we have
reason to believe that a more liberal system will be pro-
posed and advted, so as to secure a much larger body
both of town and country members, and to afford greater
facilities to dealers and brokers, and thus make a Lon-
don Mining Exchange whet has so long been required—
the central mart for the purchase and disposal ot mining
shares, and obtaining ietortnetion so difficult of attain-
ment through other chantals. We intended to have
made some observations, pointing out the most desirable
COUr.P, in our Opinion, to pursue; bur, perhaps. it is
better that the matter should be left to the discretion
and manaaelnent of the parties concerned.
In the Metal Market, Copper is in steady demand.—
There have been some considerable dealings in Lead;
and an improved price is ant,cpated —Tin is very ac-
tive, and quotations well maintained. Large purchases
have also been ma& in Tin-Plates.—Spelter is ad-
vancing.
The price of gold bars (standard) was 31. 17s. 9d. per
ca.; silver in bars (ditto), sa. 0j a. per cz.; and new
dollars, 4s. 11-Id. per z. It will be perceived that the
price of silver has recied *d. per oz, which is in con-
sequence of heavy stectes.
'The shareholders of the Tincroft Mining Company
are summoned to at:end a meeting on the 17th July,
when the r( per: of th 3 committee will be submitted.
Sauth 11,,rnar Millis sold on Thursday 95 tons of lead
ore::, a: 151. 7s. 6d, par ton, to Locke, Blacket, and Com-
paeiy.
"'The biddic7s for 100 tons of Newtonard's lead ore
varied from—Pontifex and Wood, 81. Bs., to that of the
purchasers, Newton, Keats, and Co., at 101. ss. 6d. per ton.
Caliington Mines sampled 45 ions of lead ore.
Trelawny Mine sampled 100 tons (computed) silver-
lead ore, ot good quality, on Saturday last.
Great Wheal Baddern sampled on Saturday about 60
tons of lead ore, and a further sampling will take place
on the 30th July; this corm-ern seems to be steadily pro-
gressing, both in actual returns of ore and in the disco-
very of new ore ground, some of which is of superior
quality. The 51 fm. level produces already a considera-
ble quantity of ore, and when further developed there is
every seas'-n to expect it will ba enhanced both in quan-
tity and amount. The stopes are highly productive, and
the tribute pitches doing well.
Tee tin obteined from the Great Polberro Mines in
the present month will be about 26 tons, and for the
Est two months Maoris. The pitches continue to yield
about the usual produce.

ore.

• At 'Wheal Crehor, 32 tons of copper ore have been
weighed this week.
At Wheal Russell some splendid gossan, strongly
stained with " greens" of coppo:, has been raised from
Murcliesen's shaft.
At Treloweli Mine, the shaft at Harrison's is nearly
down 22 fahoass, lose yielding 2# tons of good quality
ore per fathom. The engine-shaft undsr the 45, and
cross-cart in that level, are progressing favourably.
4 At East haul George, a, expected, by driving the
cross-eut south in the 23, they have found the main
part of the lode standing, and which presents a very
kindly appearance, 3 it. wide, saving vverk. Toe lode
in the winze under the 12 west is worth from 81. to 101.
per fathom.
At Wheal Golden, Thorne's shaft is sunk and cased
to 8 ft. under the 87 fm. level; and on driving an 87
fm. level the returns will he grewly increased, as the
lode is productive both north and south. In tie winze
under the 77 south the ground is good, producing 9
cwts. of cro per fm , and north 7 cwts. per fm. The 70
north produces 6 cats. per fm., an.l the rise in ditto 10
cwts. per 1m In the 60 north the ground is moderate,
producing 3 cwts. per fatootn. Vrebb's shaft is coal-
municetea to the 70. Young's shaft will be immediately

Corps might be sent out. Toe authorities at the Horse
Guard's hare also forwarded instructions to Madras and

Infantry, and the Reserve Battalion, 12th Regiment, for
the colony, should Sir Barry consider that tie requires
further reinforcements to act on the offensive against the
Kafirs.
