DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Hamburgh says :—" The two Federal
Commissioners not having been able to come to an
understanding with the Danish Commissioners in the
Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, it was agreed that all
three should go to Copenhagen, where it was thought
that their differences might e more easily settled.
But on the 23d the Danish Commissioner Count de
Reventlow Criminil embarked alone at Kiel, and it
was std that the Federal Commissioners had not ac-
compinied him, because they feared to be ill-received
at e.,...enhagen. The cause of the dissension is that
the 1 ng of Denmark wishes to re-establish the rights
he enjoyed in the Duchies before the revolution;
whereas the Federal Commissioners wish to transfer
part of them to the Confederation. The military con-
ventions between Prussia and different petty states,
appear completely abandoned ; and the city of Ham-
burgh and the Duchy of Oldenburgh have accordingly
opened negotiations for re-establishing the military
convention which existed between them before 1848."

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the 2kfining Journal of this day.)
A considerable businesi has been done this week in
every description of mining property, the demand for
dividend mines, however, again predominating, and our
list generally shows a great advance in the value of the
most favourite and high-priced shares-as much as
thirty to forty per cent. rise having taken place in others.
The shares of several new concerns have also been fully
subscribed for, but chiefly by those who operate for im-
mediate profits, in the shape of premium. We are not
pleased with the prospectuses of some new setts just
introduced into the market, and for which inordinate
premiums are asked, upon assumptions of the success of
neighbouring lodes; and although such schemes may
flourish whilst capital is abundant, an adverse fate would
await them under different monetary circumstances, and
involve the incautious subscribers in heavy losses.
In the Metal Market-Iron is in steady demand,
although no: much animation exists.-Lead is unaltered
in. price, with good foreign reports.-In Tin little has
been doing, English Refined becoming more plentiful.
-Copper continues in fair demand-For tin plates
there is a steady sale, without advance in prices. Spelter
without transactions, and prices nominal. Yellow Metal
Sheathing in fair request.
Tregorden Mine sold 51 tons of lead ore, at 281.
6s 6d, per ton; the lowest bid was that of T. Somers, 211.
Wheal Mary Ann sold two lots of lead ore-68 tons
at 22/. ss. 6d., and 53 tons at 71. 15s. per ton.
The Tamar Mine sold a parcel of silver-lead ore,
computed 69 tons, at 201. 2s. 6d. per ton.
Callington sale of 45 tons lead ore, on Wednesday,
realised 17/. ss. 6d. per ton. They have now 40 tons of
copper ore at surface from Kelly Bray lode.
The ticketing for 100 tons of Newtonards (Isle of
Man) lead ore varied from 10/. 19s. per ton by Walker,
Parker, and Co., the purchasers, to 101.65. 6d., the lowest
offer.
At Drtkewalls the sale of tin for March was 25 tons
3 ants. 2 qrs. 16 lbs., realising 1,2601. 3s. Id., which is
an advance of 4/. 10s. per ton on the best ore sold in Feb.,
and 24 pet* ton on the second quality; this is in conse-
quence of having come into a richer course of ore near
the footway shaft in the eastern part of the mine.
A further improvement has taken place in Treleigh
Consols; the 90 west is now reported worth 301. per fm.
Ferran St. George Mine promises again to resume the
leading character it did some years ago, as one of the
mot profitable mines in Cornwall.
The month's produce of the Rocks and Treverbyn
United Tin Mines, sold on the 21st inst., amounted to 14
tons 2 cwts. 0 qrs. 9 lbs., at 561. 10s. per ton, 7964 17s.
ed.; 18 cwts. 2 qrs. 17 lbs., at 384 per ton, 35/. Bs. 91-=
832/. 6s. 3d., which, after payment of dues, sinking sump-
shaft, working cost and merchants bills, together with
all other expenses, shows a clear profit on the month's
workings of upwards of 501.; and the agent considers
the next month's product will be considerably in excess
of this.
Tywarnhayle and Nancekuke are improving, having
sampled 594 tons of ore, of equal quality with the last,
and about .50 tons silver-lead ores.
At West Alfred Consols, on Saturday, six pitches
were set to 21 men, at an average of Bs. 4d. in 11. tribute.
The mine is looking well.
At Great Pelgooth the discovery in the 84 is stated to
bave improved, as well as a pitch near Clark's shaft to
the eastward.
Fi'om North Tamar, we learn that in the edit level
they kave some rich lead, and that the lode is 10 ft. wide
at 3 fins, below the surface, which is highly promising.
In South Tolgus report, dated 26th inst., the agents
estimate the, discoveries of ore, during the last two
months, to have amounted to 750 tons; and they hope to
sell for the next account upwards of 460 tons of ore,
worth, on the Ever-age, 51. per ton, which will give them
increased profit.
Some fine specimens of silver ore in the state of the
grey oxides and sulphurets have been received from
Silver Valley and Wheal Brothers. The analysis proves
it to contain 1,677 ers. of silver to the ton or ore, worth
about 400/. per ton.

been declared.
The directors of the Devon Great Consols, at their
