MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The mining share market opened this week with
a fair demand for certain stocks, and with particular
inquiries for Basset, Grambler, and St. Aubyn,
Providence Mines, and North Robert ; but, on the
whole, the business transacted has been below the
average of the past few weeks, and prices have,
with very few exceptions, ruled lower, caused by a
scarcity of buyers, and the pressure of shares on
the market. Trevoole, which had risen last week
to 18, 20, with a good demand from Cornwall, and
promising for a further rise, opened flatter, and,
after various fluctuations, leave off at 161 171. We
gave last week, derived from an official source, a
short account of this mine, and since then, we
learn, an improvement has taken place in the 28
east, where the lode is worth 1 ton per fin. ; but
in the 100 the lode has split up in the cross-course,
and to this may be attributed the fall in shares. In
the 90, however, we are informed the lode split up in
the same manner, and afterwards became richer than
ever. Some of the heavy stocks have been more in
demand. Dolcoath, 290, buyers ; West Seton, 270
275 ; Wheal Basset, 195 205, buyers, and rather a
difficulty in getting stock in either. Grambler and
St Aubyn also in request, and leave off 1321 1371.
Providence Mines, several buyers at an advance to
60 61 ; Wheal Margaret, 56 58. North Roberts
not quite so active, though a fair demand at 3 to 31.
Copper Hills are in request at 80 85. South Caradon,
very firm, at 400 410. East Basset, 871 921,
firm. We understand a second winze sinking be-
low the 60 has greatly improved this week, being,
as it were, on the top of another shoot of ore ; the
purser calculates there are about 6 ft. more to drive
to cut the lode in the 80. Upwards of 100 tons of
ore are ready for sampling, and it is understood the
accounts at the meeting will show a profit, after
paying for the crusher, and other extra costs ,
at-
tendant upon the new engine. Bryntails have
been in considerable request, the price leaving off
3, 31. The mine is improving greatly, and bids
fair, after all its vicissitudes, to do well at last.
The lode in the 10 is producing 25 cwt. per fin.,
and has every appearance of a lasting bunch of
ore ; this is all in whole ground, with every
prospect of opening out a good mine. East Trefusis
is looking better, and shares in demand at 21 to
31. Vale of Towy, 175., 18s. Great Alfreds, not-
withstanding an improvement in the mine, remain
at 4 41. Rosewarnes have declined to 30 ; the
new discovery in the 58 is reported as not looking
so well. East Russell in fair demand, at 516. In
Wheal Arthur a good business doing at 15s. to 175.,
leaving off at 16s. 18s. South Tolgus, 721 75 ;
mine looking well. Great South Tolgus, 141; Tre-
lawny, 241 25 ; Wheal Mary Ann, flat at 43, sellers ;
Ludcott enquired for at 30s to 32s 6d. Mining

CHINESE ATTACK ON AN ENGLISH CREW.—The
owner of the ship Cincinnatus, of Sunderland (John Hay,
Esq.), has this week received a letter from Captain &tilers,
who, writing from Hong Hong, says :—Another sad tragedy
has occurred on board a vessel that sailed from Bong Kong
about the 11th of July last. She was bound to Macao and
Manilla, and called the Bellacarma, with a crew of thirty-
three, and twenty-one Chinese passengers. When about
ten miles below Macao, the Chinese portion rose on the
others, rushed into the cabins, seized the arms,
_ and com-
menced a downright slaughter among them. The captain
was severely wounded in three places—the chief mate was
also wounded. The second mate and five ofithe crew were
killed, and seven were wounded. They then set the ship
on fire, and left her, taking with them chronomoters,
clothes, and other valuables. The remaining part of the
crew managed to get the ship back to Macao. The Chinese
all escaped.—Sulicirrland herald.
A Milan letter says that the remains of the late
Archduchess Margaret, having been embalmed, were laid
in state at the palace at Monza, and were afterwards placed
in a leaden coffin, which in its turn was put in one of
wood. A solemn service was celebrated over the deceased
with great pomp in the cathedral of Milan on the 21st, and
the coffin was to be at once forwarded to Vienna for inter-
ment in the vaults of the Imperial family.
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.—Yesterday was
published a long list of persons who, having been nomi-
nated for junior situations in the Queen's civil establish-
ments, subsequently to the 21st of May, 1855, and not
having obtained certificates of qualification, have been em-
ployed and of all persons who, having obtained certificates,
have been employed and paid for a period prior to the
date of such certificates, and subsequent to the 21st May,
1855. The return was moved for by Mr. Rich, M.P.
The Opinione of Turin of tke 22d, in an article
on the Villafranca atilt-, declares that "in making a con-
cession to Russia Sardinia has no intention of alienating
her independence, and that she cannot do otherwise than
gain by the presence of Russian steamers in her ports, as
she did by the Americans when they were at Spezia. '
THE RECENT FIRE ON THE LONDON AND
NORTH-WESTERN.—It appears from a letter written by
Mr. Chas. Cooper, of the Superintendent's Department,
Manchester, that the traffic on this line is not stopped. V-

ments having been made with the manager of the North
Staffordshire Railway far the running of the mai,-

of construction, and will be complete?,
to-day, to enablepassengers to change from one tram
to another at the spot
where the railway bridge formerly •
stood.
