MININ G INTELLIGENCE,
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
A considerable change has taken place in our marks
during this week, both in the inquiry for shares and
the amount of business transacted, which augurs well
for a more settled state of things than we have latterly
had to remark upon. There has also again been favour-
able news from several new mines lately opened, which
has led to transactions in the shares at large profits to
original holders. Progressive shares have also been
much more in reque.3t; and, on the whole, the prospects
of the market are of an ene,uraging character, the con-
tinuance of which we do not doubt, seeing that the steps
towards a restoration of confidence are gradual, and,
therefore, sound. Dividend mines maintain their posi-
tion, but the transactions are chiefly for permanent in-
vestment.
In the Metal Market-Copper is very firm, and in
good demand. et has ',aeon extensively dealt in,

GLOUCESTER, THURSDAY.—The mago•trate sof Glou-
cester have had before them, and committed for trial, a
man and woman, on a chage of robbing and attempting
to strangle a man named Organ.
The circumstances are as fullovvs:—The man Organ,
who is a butcher by trade, was proceeding over West-
gate-bridge, on the outskirts of Gloucester, on Friday
night, when he was accosted by a woman—
_ the female prisoner, whose name is Sarah
Perry. The woman asked him for money, and walked
by his side tor pmne distance. He told her he had no-
thing for her. They la3d now reach,-.d a more lonely part
of the road, when a man jumped up from behind a heap
of stones, and throwing a haudkerchi4 r,,und his neck,
attempted to strangle him. He resisted, but was forced
against the wall, and nearly suffocated, the blood running
from his mouth. He was robbed of all his money, con-
sisting of 11. 17s. 6d. The woman continued with him,
and when the robbery was completed, both of them ran
away. The prosecutor swore positively to the identity
of both the man and woman, and added to his statement,
of which the above is a summary, that the man overtook
him on the bridge, and asked him to stop fur him, as ho
was going his way; but Organ declined his company.
A witness, named filerrill, who was on the same road on
Friday night, was examined to prove that ho had met
the man and woman sworn to by Organ near the spot
where the robbery was effected. The male prisoner's
name is Thomas ‘Veaver; be is a strong muscular look-
ing man. The woman is a poor thinly-clad creature,
with a child in her arms. The prisoners were living
together at a lodging-house on the Friday night, and a
woman employed at that house proved that they went
out together shortly before the time when the transac-
tion is said to have taken place. Both are committed
for trial.

Earl TALBOT moved for a copy of the Order in
Council recently issued for the regulation of
promotions in the navy. He knew that lie brought
this motion forward under great disadvantages at this
late period of the session, when the business was nearly
wound up and the anneal fish dinner was fixed for to-
morrow. He considered that this measure inflicted a
great injustice on the officers in the service, and he hoped
they would undergo revision. Several officers would be
very hardly treated by this Order in Council, by being
placed against their wills on the reserved list, and he had
received several letters from some of these officers com-
plaining of that injustice. Among those who were thus
unfairly treated were Sir A. Green, Rear-Admiral
Forbes, Sir John Ross, Sir George Westphall, Captain
O'Brien. One of the officers who had been placed upon
the reserved list, on the ground that be had not served
a sufficient time afloat, had applied for employment no
less than 80 times—once a quarter, for twenty years, he
had applied to the Admiralty for employment. There
were great complaints in tho service that employment
was only given to particular men and particular sets, to
the exclusion of others. He wished to know whether
coast guard service and inspecting service, and gunner
service, would reckon for promotion. There were many
officers constantly employed. Now the continued employ-
ment of Sir W. Parker in the Mediterranean was a
reflection on all other officers, as if there were no
other officers capable of commanding it. It was
said he was to have another command when he
came home, and if so it was a shame.
Then again Captain Martin had served his time in com-
mand of his fleet. Why was not he called home, and
why were others excluded ? He did not mean
to cast the slightest reflection on those
gallant officers, who were admirably fitted for their
commands, and had always done their duty, but it was an
injustice to others not to give them the same chance
of service as had been given to those officers. With these
perpetual changes introduced by Orders in Council
naval officers did not know what they had to trust to.
He thought that every officer, as the time approached
when he would be eligible for a flag, should have an op-
portunity afforded him of commanding a ship, and
to serve out his time. The Noble Earl concluded by
moving formally for the production of the Order in
Council.
Earl GREY could have no objection to grant the
motion for the production of the Orders in Council.
With regard to the production of the rules adopted by
the Admiralty for their guidance, in the selection of
their officers, those rules were never reduced to writing.
Esrl TALBOT would not press for their production.
Earl GREY did not object to the production
of the other papers, and when the Noble Earl drew
the attention of the House to those papers, then
would be the time to discuss the question which the
Noble Earl wished to raise. It was undoubtedly
a matter of great importance to reduce our
overburdened navy list, and such a reduction would
be not less beneficial to the service than to the
public. He regretted that his Noble Friend had
adopted the dangerous and unconstitutional practice of
canvassing the claims of particular officers. It was
a practice dangerous to the interests of the service and
the constitution of the country.
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said he thougt
it moat desirable that officers should know what were
the rules of the Admiralty with respect to promotion,
so that they might be aware of what they had to expect.
Ho should, therefore, propose that the motion should be
left in its integrity.

SCENES in the SPANISH BULL CIRCUS.

MADRID, JULY 26.—Yesterday, the Bull Circus of
Aranjuez became the theatre of a spectacle worthier of
the age of the Romans of the empire than of the 19th
century. Several wild beast were introduced succes-
sively to fight in the arena. The Queen-Mother and
her family, together with the King and the Duke of
Bianzares were present in the royal box. The first fight
was between a wolf and several dogs. The wolf looked
at first excessively frightened, and made several leaps" to
clear the lofty iron grating which surrounded the arena.
These efforts became desperate when he saw bound into
the circus four powerful doss, which in a few moments
reduced him to such a pitiful state, that it was necessary
to withdraw him. The wolf stood merely on the de-
fensive—he shook off the dogs, but he did not attack
them. Next entered an hymns, against which four dogs
were likewise loosed. One ot the dogs distinguished
himself greatly in this combat, and several times
mastereel the hyrena alone, dragging him over to the
ground, but he was so punished by the fierce bites of
the wild beast, that his master was fain to enter the
arena and withdraw him from the combat emid salvos
of applause. The hyena was then wirndriewn in rather
a mangled condition. The next wild beast that ap-
rareLd ,Was a sturdy, surly bear, against whom were
launched as many as 13 dogs. The enemy was now
evidently of a more formidable kind, for the dogs were
no longer so eager to grapple with the object of their
attach, but contented themselves with barking around
him in a ring; and when any of the number ventured
into closer quarters, he received a hug and bite
which left him apparently lifeless during several seconds.
The public now loudly called for the intrepid dog who
had mauled the hymns. This was the first of the pack
who dared to seizethe bear with his teeth. Tho others
imitated his example with less pluck, but no effect
seemed to be produced by any of the assailants upon
the shsggy beast, and the bravest of them seemed
nafilA by the thickness of his coat, which defied the
gripe ot his adversaries. The last act of the spectacle
was that wnich had snore particularly attracted crowds
by railroad to Aranjuez.
The fight was now
between a lion and a bull. The first was one of the
finest of his species. No sooner was he loosed into the

The Earl of MINTO said that there were no -such
formal rules as those refered to in the latter part of the
motion. The Noble Earl (Earl Minto), in conclusion, ob-
served that he believed there was no objection to grant
the former part of the motion of the Noble Earl opposite
(Earl Talbot), and which was in terms to the following
effect, namely, "Fur copies of so much of the Orders in
Council of the 20th June, 1827, and the 10th August,
1840, as related to the promotion of captains and com-
manders in the navy."
Earl TALBOT in briefly replying, wished to advert
to one point alluded to by the Noble Earl (Earl Grey)
who had succeeded him in that discussion. It had been
observed that he wanted only to promote the interests
of the profession, without at all considering those of the
public; now he thought he could not substantially ad-
vance the interests of the profession without advancing
those of the public also.
The first part of the motion was then agreed to, and
the second negatived without a division.

on that occasion agreed with his colleague, stating that
if it were possible to do so with security to the revenue,
it would be a most important boon to the West India
interests. He (Sir J. Pakington) now called on the
Right Honourable Gentleman to show how the revenue
could be endangered by the concession. The Right lion.
Gentleman had, in presenting the petition from the sugar
refiners of London, only strengthened his (Sir J. Pak-
ington's) argument. He bore the fullest testimony to
the respectability of these gentlemen; but what he ob-
jected to was, that they had got a good thing, and they
naturally wished to keep it. The real secret of their objec-
tion to change lay in the fact, that under the existing law,
as the duty was paid at the same time as the sugar was
purchased, it required a very large capital to enter the
trade. The consequence was, that the trade had fallen
into a few hands; and a monopoly was practically esta-
blished which they desired to maintain. The fact was,
that about ten or twelve houses controlled the sugar
market of the country in a manner entirely inconsistent
with the interest of the consumer. That was the way
in which he dealt with the petition presented by the
Right Hon. Gentleman. As an instance of the opera-
tion of the law in this respect, he would state a single
fact. On sth July last a fall took place in the duty on
British sugar equal to ls. per cwt., and on that on foreign
sugar equal to Is. 6d. per cwt. A more than commen-
surate fall in the price of the article followed; raw sugar
going down to the extent of 2s. per cwt. But would the
House believe it, the price of refined sugar remained,
notwithstanding this fall, the same as before; and the
refiner, therefore, pocketed, as against the public, the 2s.
per cwt. difference. There was also another case. No
doubt the sugar brokers of the country were opposed to
change in the law; but why? They were paid a com-
mission of per cent. on the sales, and as the duty and
sugar were paid for together— both being included in the
transaction, their gain was all the greater. Ho asked the
Government, however, to bear in mind their own princi-
ples of free trade, and to give the advantage to the con-
sumer. One of the many objections that could be urged
against the proposal was an apprehension of danger
to the revenue; but he demanded to have it shown
how. He would be answered, no doubt, that it would
effect the revenue directly in the first instance; and, in
the second, indirectly, by promoting fraud. As re-
garded the first objection, no doubt the result of the
change desired would be that all the inferior sugars
s
would be refined in bond, while the superior sugars
would be refined out of bond; and he admitted .t
ht
tbrtoe
some extent the revenue from that source
affected. But he denied the right of any governmentng
to
recruit its revenue from an unjust source; and he had
law
no objection whatever to a compulsory _which would
cause all sugars to be refined in bond.sae This would pro-
duce a counterbalance, avirndabco
for the possible loss. repgeard to tell him howt the indirectree

by fraud, he only asked the Governmentn
it could take place? Sugar had been refined in bond for
exportation for the twentylast years, and no complaint
of fraud had been made. What he sought was simply
to extend that system
to sugar for the home market as
well appealed
consist-
ency well as to sugar for expotabtelouroeusaemaaendy,
to the sense of justice of
of the Government, and concluded by proposing
the following resolution:— " That, in the opinion of this
House, the British refiners of sugar should be permitted
to refine in bond, and to enter their manufacture for
home consumption, upon payment of the same duties as
are levied upon refined sugar imported into this
country.
Mr. LABOUCHERE would state to the House in a
few words the reason why he could not agree to the
resolution; but, before doing so, he expressed his deep
regret at the unavoidable absence of his Right Hon.
Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who bad given
the subject such careful consideration from every point
of view in which it could be looked at. He did not at
all dispute that restrictions imposed on refined sugar,
like all other restrictions, operated unfavourably on
those concerned in the particular case to which they ap-
plied, and it would be an undoubted boon to all parties
if sugar could be imported and refined for home coneump.
tion duty free. But a revenue to the amount of
4,000,0001. was involved in the consideration, and the
question was whether they were prepared to make that
sacrifice. It was the anxious desire of the Government
to remove all needless restrictions. But the provision of
which the Hon. Baronet complained was, that, as under
the present system the sugar coming from the British
colonies was imported in a coarser state than that which
came from Cuba and other foreign countries, the former
was subjected to discouragement by the imposition
of a duty which was meant to apply equally to fo-
reign and English sugar. The question was maturely
considered by the Committee which sat in
1848, and over which Lord G. Bentinck presided, and
the Hon. Member for Westbury coincided with the other
Members in thinking that a substantial grievance was
thereby inflicted on the %Vest Indian interest. But did
no alteration take place in consequence of that investi-
gation? On the contrary, a material change was made
on that very ground, which had materially diminished
that grievance. He believed that the sugar now im-
ported from the British possessions approached far more
nearly to the qualities of foreign sugar than before. A
great deal of energy and activity bad been displayed,
and the result had been a great improvement in the
process of working the sugar. It was also satisfac-
tory to know that no reason existed for supposing that
any diminution iu the importation of sugar from our
colonies had taken place of late years. The importation
from the West Indies had somewhat fallen off during the
present year; but that was attributable to the short sup.
ply furnished by Jamaica in consequence of the eholeri

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 1.
(Continued from our Fifth Edition of yesterday.)

GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 4) BILL.
Mr. T. EGER FON having presented a petition,
signed by several members of the town council and one-
third of the rated inhabitants of Macclesfield, praying
that that borough might be included in the operatiou of
the Bill.

The House went into Committee, and the several
clauses were agreed to.
O❑ the schedule being read,
Mr. T. EGERTON moved the insertion of Maccles-
field in that part of the Bill.
Mr. BROCKLEHURST opposed the motion, and
contended that, although one-third of the ratepayers
might have signed the petition preseated by the Hon.
Gentleman, yet that the remaining two-thirds objected
to the prayer of the petition altogether.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS also opposed the motion, and
said he was convinced that the feeling of the majority of
the inhabitants was hostile to the Bill.

Mr. G. LEIGH supported the motion, and expressed
his opinion that it was absolutely necessary that the
town of Macclesfield should be included in the Bill.

Lord SEYMOUR also supported the motion, observ-
ing that the Board of Health were favourable to the
extensio❑ of the provisions of the Bill to that town.
Mr. MUNTZ opposed the motion; and,
After a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE,
The Committee divided, when there appeared—

Macclesfield was then inserted in the schedule, and
the preamble having been agreed to, the House resumed,
and the CHAIRMAN reported progress.
CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION BILL.

The House went into Committee on this Bill.

Sir J. PAKINGTON said that by an arrangement
which he had made with the Noble Lord at the head of
the Government, that Noble Lord had undertaken that
h© (Sir J. Pakington) should have this evening to bring
on the subject of which he had given notice of a motio❑
(sugar refining in bond)—a subject of great importance
to the parties interested and the public at large. There
were only five orders now on the paper to be disposed
of before his motion came on, and he feared when they
were gone through he would find himself in the position
of Mr. Bourke, who " went on refining while others
were dining." Ile hoped no more orders would be gone
through until he was afforded an opportunity of bring-
ing on his motion.
Mr. C. LEWIS said it was understood that all the
orders were to be disposed of before the Hon. Gentle-
man's motion was to be brought on. The remaining
orders would not take up much time.
Sir J. PAKINGTON begged to say that the under-
standing was very different from that stated by the Hon.
Gentleman.

Mr. C. LEWIS—This is not a Government Bill.

VENTION BILL.
On the order of the day for going into Committee on
this Bill,
Sir J. PAKINGTON again appealed to the Right
Hon. Gentlemen on the Treasury bench not to proceed
with any further orders until he could bring on his mo-
tion. He moved that the order of the day be postponed.
Lord SEYMOUR said the Bill would not occupy more
than a few minutes.
Sir J. PAKINGTON would not withdraw his motion
unless the Government kept good faith with him.
Lord PALMERSTON observed that undoubtedly an
arrangement had been made with the Hon. Gentleman,
and if the orders on the paper were matters of import-
ance which would create discussion they would not be
pressed, but they were mere matters of form.
The Hon. Gentleman did not press his motion, and the
Bill passed through Committee.
The Petty Sessions (Ireland) Amended Bill was con-
sidered, the amendments were agreed to, and the Bill
ordered to be reported.
The Summary Jurisdiction (Ireland) Bill was also
considered as amended; the amendments agreed to, and
the Bill ordered to be reported.

with no party feeling or party object; and his desire was
entirely to make a calm appeal to the House and to the
Government for justice to these classes. He therefore
hoped he would be met with no pretexts of expedience,
or with the views of some three-and-twenty London
houses; but that they would say whether or no, by force
of argument, and on the ground of consistency and jus-
tice, a material alteration ought not to be made in the
laws regulating the refining of sugar in this country.
There were two classes affected by the present law, as
regarded the refining of sugar—one the refiners, the other
the British grower in the colonies. Reverting to the
first-named class, from some of whom the Right Hon.
Gentleman had presented a petition, he (Sir J. Peking-
ton) was aware that a large proportion of the London
refiners were opposed to the change, and that the re-
finers generally were divided on this subject; but he was
