11. nrust.—Thc Mining Share Market opened well on
Monday, and throughout the week ithas fully maintained
its favourable position. The enquiries, both for dividend
and speculative stock, have been numerous, and advanced
prices have in most instances been obtained. The rise
in the price of tin, to the extent of 51. per ton, announced
on Wednesday, had a marked influence upon shares in
mines producing that metal, and as the feeling exhibited
by the holders of Banca and Straits justifies the antici-
pation that English qualities will further advance, the
prospects of tin mines generally would appear much
more encouraging. Although the improvement in
. copper mine shares is not yet so apparent, the fact of the
standard having advanced 4/. on Thursday, together
. with that of there being an improved demand for the
. metal, and no second-hand parcels in the market, must
speedily affect them in an equal degree.—Mining
ournal .9f this day.
As a great deal of misunderstanding has arisen as to
the time .at which the distinguished persons who have
tickets will be admitted to the Chapel Royal, we are
requested to state that no person whatever will be ad-
mitted to the interior of the chapel before 10 o'clock or
later than half-past 11. Only between these hours will
the holders of the white tickets be admitted.
SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning last the Congre
Rational Chapel, Gorleston, were thrown into some state
of alarm by the sudden death of their minister, the Rev.
Joseph Pike, who had partly gone through the service.
Raving given out his text—the last verse of 17th Psalm
—" As for me I will behold thy face in righteonsne,s
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness,"
he had not proceeded many minutes before he seemed '
- to be taken ill, and exclaimel—" Dear friends ! I feel
too ill to proceed ;" when he fell suddenly back in the
pulpit senseless. Assistance was rendered immediately,
and he was removed to the vestry, and afterwards in a
Cal) to his home, but he never recovered, and in about
an liour from the time of his being first taken he expired.
The dtoiased was about 45 years of age, and was for-
m:l'l7lY a town missionary here, but for the lai,t 13 or 14
yecra Was
,chosen to minister by the Gorleston Indepen-
'unto, among
whom he was much respected and beloved.
The otectuieed
from a paralytic stroke, having bad
two previous attacks within the last two 5 ears.—BMW
