THE AUSTRIAN ARMY I 2 17ALY.

(Feom the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
VERONA, JULY 17.
I bad some curiosity to • visit once more the
battle!ield of Solferino, and yesterday I satisfied
that curiosity to the fullest extent. Leaving
Verona and passing through Dossobuono, where
the outposts of the Ausrian army still stand, I
proceeded to Villafranca, and thence by the direct
road to Valeggio. Between Dossobuono and Va-
leggio •he country seemed to be considered neu-
tral by both French and Austrians. The pea-
santry were at work in the fields repairing
their hedges, moulding their maize, and in
general restoring their crops as far as possi-
ble, after the damage they had undergone from
the numerous troops that had overrun them.
About a mile from Valeggio I saw the first traces
of the encampments of the allies, some red-legged
French soldiers were washing in the Chione, and in
the plain were traces of recent encampments, huts
of boughs and planks and remains of well-picked
dinners. A small post of Zouaves and Turcos oc-
cupied the roads close to Valeggio. The only ques •
tion asked was put by a Turco. It was one word
only, " Piemontais ?' meaning " Are you a Pied-
montese ?" to which, on my reply in the negative,
I was motioned to proceed in the most good-
humoured manner. Valeggio was crowded with
Frenchmen in every possible uniform—Artillery,
Engineers, Chasseurs, Guardsmen, Guides,Chasseurs
d'Afrique ; the streets were encumbered with native
carts of every kind. Marshal Niel occupied the
palace which but a few weeks before was inhabited
by Count Schlick and the Emperor of Austria. The
Piedmontese flag was to be seen everywhere, on
the tops of trees, in the windows of houses, and
even on the castle tower of Valeggio, which no
Austrian had attempted to climb, because of its
height and the difficulty of ascending bare walls,
for the tower is high and stairless inside. At Bor-
ghetto several bridges had been thrown over the
stream of the Min cio. A park of artillery lay in the
meadows close by. Numbers of Frenchmen were
bathing. Otb ers,gifted apparently with indomitable
patience, were fishing in the quiet eddies, and catch-
ing nothing. The roads were more dusty and much
worse for wear than they had been a fortnight be-
fore, but still it was an easy drive to Volta. Thence
to Cavriana, there was little to attract attention,
except here and there a little earthen mound sur-
mounted by a cross, indicating the last resting place
of some wounded man, who had probably lain down
there and died. In Cavriana, where I expected
to find traces of the battle, everything appeared
in the greatest order. The inhabitants were at
their daily labours, the village politicians holding
forth in the café. The blood-stained hospital where
I had seen so many wounded men taken in was a
corclwainer's shop. The houses showed no trace of
cannon shot or shell, no signs of musket halls.
The Piedmontese flag floated from the windows, the
arms of Piedmont were nailed up on the doors, and
proclamations innumerable adorned the walls. The
people about the streets all wore the patriotic
colours, white, red, and green, in their hats or
button-holes. One or two French soldiers lounged
in the streets. Little blood, in truth, was shed
in Cavriana; the last stand of the Austrians
hating been made outside the town on the hills of
Madonna della Pieve. All the wounded were taken
out of the hospital, all the carts were driven out
towards Volta before the French came in. Field-
Marshal Nugent was the last man to leave that
place ; and I from a French officer the follow-
ing anecdote respecting him :—As the Austrians
were seen crowning the heights south-east of
Cavriana, preptzatory to their final retreat.
Louis Napoleon inquired of his staff whether any
one had certain knowledge that Cavriana was
evacuated. The reply was that it must still be
occupied, because an old and weather-beaten
officer, in egiazed cocked hat and military cloak,
had just been seen in the streets riding about
on a pony, and accompanied by an aide-de-
camp. At the Emperor's request an officer
with an escort went forward to report upon
the state of Cavriana. He returned a quarter of an
hour after and informed the Emperor that the old
General in the cocked hat was still in the streets of
Cavriana, but that no one else was visible. The
truth is that Marshal Nugent was at that moment
perfectly alone in the streets of the N illage.

Climbing up the Roccolo hill, which overhangs
the village of Cavriana on the left, I saw once more
the spot where the Emperor of Austria stood for so
many hours. I saw in the hollow on my right the
now peaceful village, with the old stone castle
frowning on the heights in front of it, and the bold
square tower which rises above the mouldering walls.
I saw the plains of Medole, Guiddizolo, San Vigilio,
and Castiglione, San Cassiano, and the Spia d'ltalia.
The day was far clearer than that of the 24th, and
objects were more distinctly visible. The distance
seemed greater, possibly because they were not
now alive with men as they had so recently been.
It seemed quite a long way to Solferino. It has
been asked since the battle why the Emperor of
Austria advanced no nearer to the battle-field than
the Roccolo. The truth is that had Francis Joseph
been master of his own movements he would have
been not only in closer proximity to the enemy, but
he would probably have gone into action, whence it
is possible that he might never have returned.
When he served under Radetzky, it was often the
duty of the stern old Marshal to curb his future
Emperor's martial propensities, and Field-Mar-
shal Hess had to use the authority of his
age and experience to keep the ardour of
the youthful Emperor in check. It was not
till the sharp buzz of musket balls over the
Roccolo and the cracking of French shrapnel be-
came more and more dangerous that the Emperor
was induced to leave Cavriana, and at a later period
of the day Gen. Schlick had to use the utmost per-
suasion to force his Sovereign from Madonna della
Pieve, which at last became the object upon which
the whole French fire was concentrated.
From Cavriana the road to Solferino runs to
San Cassiano on an easy slope, the hills becoming
lower as they approach the latter village, which is
almost on a level with the plain of Medole. From
San Cassiano the highway turns a little to the east-
ward, running pretty level to Solferino, and below
heights which overlook it on both sides. But the
heights on the west are low and isolated from each
other by depressions, so that few of them are use-
ful for defence against an enemy advancing from
the north-west, their flank being always open to
attack, and artillery placed upon them constantly
liable tobe turned and taken in rear. This I found
to be the case with the high hill of Solferino itself,
the southern face of which is sufficiently abrupt,
whileits south-western face is a gentle slope from
the plain. The village of Solferino is divided into
two distinct parts, one of which lies to the south-
east at the very base of the hill on which stands
the Spia. The tower is reached thence by a steep
and winding road, almost impracticable to artillery.
At about two-thirds of the ascent I came to a point
whence I could see all the landscape to the
north and east. The Lake of Garda and
the Alps lay mapped out before me, with
the tongue of Sermione jutting boldly into the
water. The green mounds and white walls of
Peschiera, and the square towers of countless old
fortresses lay embosomed in trees, and surrounded
by white houses, villas, and steeples of every form
and description ; but what struck me most was the
peculiar formation of the range north and west of
Solferino tower. To the north lay a long spit, on
which stood a high stone edifice cut out into
squares, separated from each other by high walls,
and communicating through each other by arched.
gateways. This is the church and Palazzo Com-
munale of Solferino. Through these gateways
runs a road which, following the top of the spit,
turns with it to the westward. This spit runs at
irregular heights from the west to the south, and
forms as it were the crest of a crater, into which
the eye plunges with delight, for at the bottom lies
a snug little clump of buildings surrounded by trees
of every kind. The main road from Castiglione
runs round the base of the crater to the north and
east. The Austrians occupied Solferino on its
southern slope, along an undulating line of about
200 yards, their faces being turned south-west to
repel the attacks made on them from that quarter
by the French advancing up the gentle ascent.
Here, at the foot of a line of cypress trees, was one
Austrian gun. The ground is covered with rem-
nants of cartridges, the cypress trees are riddled
with bullets , a cannon ball has gone right through
one trunk, two other balls have carried off the uppr
part of the boughs, which now lie withered on the
ground. The Austrians also held the buildings on
the spit, from which there is no descent except by
jumping down the precipicesinto what I have called
the crater, or those which frown on its outer sides
or down the winding road which I have already
described. They had also troops further west,
facing to the north, and there looking down on the
enemy. Solferino village below they also held, but
it is necessary to remember that the village here
lies in rear, that is, south of the heights.
This minuteness of detail is necessary in order to
explain why the position was a bad ~ne for defence.
The French turning round it from the north and
fighting for the possession of the streets were already
on one flank of the troops on the heights. The
French advancing from the plain on the south-
west, were on the flank and rear of the defenders
of the heights, and the French attacking the
hills on the north front, placed the Austrians in
the buildings on the spit, already mentioned,
in the position of men surrounded on three
sides. The safety of Solferino heights was
further dependent on the safety of San Cassiano
and Solferino villages. Once those were carried,
the heights were untenable. It is quite a wonder,
under these circumstances: that the Regiment

Reishach held its own so long on the heights. They
only retired when they were decimated. One
Lieutenant-Colonel, whose retreat was cut off, threw
himself down the precipice in the vain hope of
escaping, but in his fall he broke his leg. The build-
ings on the spit are still filled with Austrian shakos.
These are the only traces I could discover, with
the exception of the mounds under which the
dead lay buried, that a deadly encounter took place
quite lately. There is not a cannon ball, not a
splinter of a shell to be found. With great diffi-
culty and after diligent search, I found five rifle
balls on the hill. Even the houses bear no marks
of cannon. There is one hole in the dome of the
building on the spit. In Solferino nothing remains
to indicate that a battle of hours was fought there.
The stone houses carry no traces of the fight. In
San Cassiano, where the Austrians stood for hours,
the houses are all entire.

Field-Marshal Hess (the promotion is recent) is
still arranging the final movements of the Austrian
troops. The First Army, nnder Wimpffen, is under
orders to repass the Alps, and will begin to move
immediately. The second army will remain in
Italy under the orders of Count Degenfeldt.
As far as I am able to gather the opinions of the
Italians, they look upon the peace with feelings
akin to despair. The popular idol of a few 'iays
back, the Emperor of the French, is thrown down
from his high place. The idea of a new Italian
Confederation is derided. People inquire sarcasti-
cally, is it to be an Italian Confederation like the
German Bund, which shall maintain Princes by the
bayonet ? They laugh at the notion of the Pope
being at the head of the new Confederation. They
look into the future with the gloomiest foreboding,
and many are already regretting the Austrian rule,
which, at any rate, was mild to the peasant, and
looking with distrust and dismay upon the uncer-
tainties of the coming time.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

(From the Times.)

Of all our public men there is not one who does
not make the fullest confession of his allegiance to
the great doctrine of the Freedom of the Press—
" the palladium of our liberties," " the safeguard of
our Constitution," " the means of diffusing among
the people that knowledge, that enlightenment,
which enables them to judge of all subjects with
candour, impartiality, and moderation, and thus
makes democratic influences permanent by protect-
ing them from violence and excess." Who does not
hold this language ? Yet who, we may venture to
ask, really and honestly subscribes to its truth?
There are few Englishmen, we believe, who see a
newspaper in their own language among the perio-
dical literature of the Continent, on the table of a
reading room in a French or German watering-
place, without experiencing a certain emotion of
national pride ; and yet few of these same persons
have probably ever considered, or frankly admitted
to themselves, the real condition on which the in-
contestible superiority of the English Press de-
pends. The English Press is superior to its foreign
contemporaries for the simple reason that it is free
—free in the widest and fullest sense of the word ;
not only free to write that which is agreeable to
men in power, that which suits the popular im-
pulse of the moment, or that which may most
facilitate the operations of this or that Govern-
ment, but free to utter that which men in power
often will not tell or look in the face, which the
people at large do not always see, and which the
masters of mankind do not often wish to be seen—
the bare and naked truth. There is hardly a states-
man of our day who has been able to form to him-
self the real and genuine idea of a Free Press.
Freedom from vexatious prosecution they are, in-
deed, willing to conceive, but there is scarcely one
of them who has elevated his mind above the idea
that the Press should be4the representative of par-
ticular men or particular parties, so as to admit that
it may safely and wisely be left to draw its own
conclusions and announce its own opinions. It is
in vain that one after another the sickly scions of
periodical literature—kept in existence to meet no
public want, but to serve the purposes of a man or
a party—successively droop and die. Experience
is thrown away, and the same folly recommences.
We cannot wonder that men who seem just as
unable to comprehend the perfectly free and
self-regulating action of the Press as a blind man
is to appreciate the shades of colour should think
it necessary from time to time to lecture those
whom they would willingly coerce, and to take
credit to themselves for superior wisdom by de-
nouncing any truth which it is inconvenient to
them to hear. This distrust and hatred of the
Press is peculiar to no party—nay, it probably
prevails with more violence among those whose
professions are most liberal. There is Mr. Bright,
for instance. He has, as we all know, peculiar
views on the subject of Peace and War, which
render it exceedingly inconvenient to him that the
truth should be told. He is a friend of peace to
such an extent that he cannot endure that any one
should say anything which would show that there
is the slightest doubt as to its continuance. To
men who write and think without prejudice, the
proper way to preserve peace is to state the whole
truth fairly and explicitly, that the nation may
judge of its real position, and neither be puffed up
by overweening confidence nor depressed by unrea-
sonable panic. This is the course we have ob-
served with regard to France. Without the slightest
enmity, with the best goodwill to our gallant
neighbours, but we trust with a true appreciation
of the nature of the Government under which they
live, we have had to remark that the Empire was
not quite so much Peace as the Emperor would have
us believe. We have observed that from the ter-
mination of the Crimean War we have found
France uniformly siding with Russia against our-
selves, and that the whole of her policy with regard
to Italy has been in complete contravention of the
wishes expressed by England. We have been com-
pelled to show, from time to time, what formida-
ble augmentations France has been making to
her Navy, and how those augmentations render
absolutely necessary corresponding efforts on
our part. True, also, to our duty of impartial
veracity, we have not hesitated to show how
little the treaty just concluded satisfies the wants
of the Italians or the pretexts on which the
war was commenced. Nobody seriously denies
these facts, but it is very convenient for those
who affect to believe that perpetual peace is
not only desirable, but possible, to ignore their
existence. Air. Bright is very angry with us be-
cause we do not choose to set them aside altogether
and to substitute in their place visions of mutual
disarmament and treaties of perpetual commerce.
No country knows better than England that com-
merce is a surer road to prosperity, to power, and
to greatness than the most brilliant victories, but
this is a truth which, though nations may feel it,
Kings and Emperors have rarely shown themselves
able to appreciate. They are seldom content to lay
the foundations of prosperity, and trust to the hap-
piness of future ages to do justice to their memory.
They want ready payment for their actions, some-
thing on which their panegyrists may descant,
something on which their Courtly rhetoricians may
harangue. Let France disarm, ant how gladly, how
eagerly will we imitate and surpass her example ;
but while Italy is left either to be crushed by in-
tervention or convulsed by revolution, while the
termination of one war is accompanied by words
which announce the commencement of another, it
may befit Mr. Bright to maunder over treaties of
commerce and projects of disarmament, but it will
hardly become us, who are bound to reason from
the materials which we ourselves supply, and not
an arbitrary assumptional reticences, to accept his
conclusions.

No less hostile to free discussion is Lord John
Russell. He is a leading member of a Ministry
which takes credit to itself for arming the country,
and yet he cannot understand why the Press should
urge the country to arm. We will frankly tell
him why. It is because we have taken our mea-
sure and formed our estimate of such public men as
himself; because we believe that, although fully
aware of the danger, they would never put the
country in a position of defence unless driven to it
by a public opinion which they cannot resist.
They would tell us, as they do now, that they have
no fears, no apprehensions; they would act as if
great dangers could be averted by never speaking
of them ; and their deeds, instead of being as now,
in contradiction to their words, would be in strict
accordance with them. Now, Lord John Russell
and his colleagues talk peace and prepare for war.
Had we adopted that tone they would never have
"adopted our recommendations. But Lord John
Russell's caution is only one-sided. It is open to
him—nay, we believe he would admit it is open to
us also—to say whatever we please against Aus-
tria, or the petty States of Italy. There is no good
to be done by such declamations, no evil to be
averted, and therefore we forbear from them,
though Lord John would give us full licence. It
is only when a real and serious danger impends
that Lord John Russell would bind us over to
silence. Lastly, we are taken to task by Lord
Palmerston, who is scandalised by what he calls
the tone of hostility which the press has adopted
towards France. Of course, there was no hos-
tility to Austria in Lord Palmerston's declaration
that he hoped that Power, his good friend and
ally, would be driven out of Italy ; and we are
furnished with an exact measure of our own in-
discretion by knowing what our censor con-
siders may be discreetly said. For different rea-
sons it suits the purpose of the Premier, as it
suits the purpose of Mr. Bright, that too much light
should not be thrown on the present state and posi-
tion of France, He maintains that the war which

has come to such an unexpected end was not of the
Emperor's making ; it had his hearty wishes for
success, and he is evidently anxious to go into a
Congress to rescue the Emperor Napoleon from the
innumerable difficulties and dangers which a war
begun and a peace concluded in defiance of the en-
lightened opinion of England and France and Italy
and Germany have brought upon him. Lord Pal-
merston may follow out his objects, but let him not
expect that we shall promote their attainment by
a wilful mystification of facts, or that the people
which once hurled him from office because he con-
sulted the wishes of the Emperor Napoleon rather
than the dignity of his country, will permit him to
pledge his name to the fulfilment of the stipulations
made at Villafranca, or send Lord John Russell as
a plenipotentiary to repeat at Zurich his vagaries
at Vienna.

Another article refers to the same subject as
follows :

Much of the advice that one hears lavished on
all sides is so totally irrespective of its object, and
so purely for the convenience of the giver, or any-
body but the person most concerned, that one can
only class it with the common forms of impreca-
tion. One understands what a man means when,
with various Saxon expletives, he recommends any-
body to be gone anywhere or nowhere, to cease to
exist, and be forgotten. The adviser in this case
does not profess to care for anybody or anything
but himself and his own immediate occupation or
amusement. Of course, he wishes you to hang
yourself, or dispose of yourself in any way you
please, so as you never stand in his way again or
interfere with his pleasure. If wishes of this sort
had their way, half the world would disappear be-
fore to-night, and half the remainder to-morrow.
We really cannot place under any other category
the frequently-expressed wish that we would sal
nothing about Napoleon 111. and France and their
doings. It is our vocation and our very being to
speak truly and freely about all public characters
and affairs. If we cannot follow our vocation, we
cease to be altogether. Were we to say that we
cannot imagine a newspaper containing no personal
reflection whatever, we should stand corrected, for
some foreign journals lie before us, and we see what
we might come to. But we are a Free Press, which
is about as distinct a thing from Continental '
journalism as a living man is from a skeleton, or
a forest from a timber-yard. The day may come
when Mr. Bright, surrounded by the carcases of
the London press, permitted to appear under an
imperial imprimatur, will deliver himself with his
own accustomed energy and freedom against the
British Court and all the old Estat"s of this realm.
He will affront nobody whose anger can do him any
harm, and will certainly please those whom it is de-
sireble to propitiate. But the moral aspect of political
affairs will be a thing of the past. Convenient abuse
will then be the order of the day. The unfortunate
journalist guilty of an opinion not founded on the
justest calculation of prompt advantage, or safety,
will hear his doom pronounced by a cautious legis-
lator, who can equally ascribe the vilest motives to
a fellow Englishman and the purest to a foreign
autocrat. Censure will then be reserved for its only
legitimate objects,—the honest or the weak ; and,
when Emperors and legions have done their fell
work, the thundercloud of pent-up indignation will
burst on the head of some poor moralist who has
ventured to reproduce some trite old truism about
wrongful and unprofitable wars.
Jf we have said what is not true, that is another
question ; but if our crime is that we have some-
times said that which may hurt the feelings of an
Emperor or his soldiers, then we beg to state our
case. We existed before either Napoleon HI. or
Napoleon I. We are as much an essential insti-
tution of this country as they of theirs. We are
precisely what we were not only when Louis
Napoleon lodged in St. James's, but when his
uncle was a sub-officer of artillery. We are what
we were before either Mr. Bright or Lord John
Russell was born. The era which gave France
its Revolution gave England its Free Press.
That Press has preserved its freedom by act-
ing up to itself, and speaking the truth, to
the best of its ability and judgment, of every-
thingland everybody. No one can over-estimate
its weight as the auxiliary and mouthpiece of a
free Legislature and open justice. But here it
exists, one of the chief forces of the country,
now also a heritage from our forefathers, to be
bequeathed to our children. The Emperor of the
French has had it before his eyes, as one of the
groat facts of European politics, before he ever fired
a gun, made a spech, or solicited a suffrage. What
good or what harm we have done him is a matter
beyond calculation or conjecture ; but he is now,
as we are assured, a cordial ally, and, as all feel, a
powerful neighbour. We are spending, Mr. Glad-
stone tells us, eight millions a-year more than usual
in our armaments, against a certain contingency
which, there is no disguising it, is the possibility
of either an invasion by our ally or tome Outrage on
his part beyond all endurance. Our words have
certainly not weakened the French Emperor,
either for good or for evil. He can still make a
terrible war and a magnanimous peace. He can
still punish and propitiate one great neighbour and
J.
be immediately formidable to another. If there s
one point on which we may venture to express a
personal opinion, it is that Napoleon 111. is a ma!'
of singularly fixed ideas and unalterable senti-
ments. This is the opinion of his friends, and the
very boast of his life. But Mr. Bright affects to
believe that he is as irritable as himself, and that
we, by occasional criticisms of his conduct, have
estranged his friendship and imperilled the alliance.
We take this to be a pure imagination, founded on
a very superficial knowledge of facts, and a much
less respectful opinion of Napoleon 111. than our
own.

Mr. Bright has undertaken a client who cares
little for his advocacy. The Emperor knows us and,
our country too well to underrate that love or
truth and that plain speaking which are to be
found nowhere else. In proof of this we can
adduce a recent and most creditable example.
Much wiser than the people about him, he saw the
interest which he, his army, and France had in all
authentic and impartial history of the war ; and he therefore approved the presence of our eorre-
spondent with the French army in Italy. France
has to thank the Emperor, rather than his advisers;
that a scientific soldier has described to the world
some of the most brilliant exploits of the French
army, its admirable organisation, its impetuous
spirit, and the cool courage and good generalshiP
of the Emperor. The few French correspondents
who set out to describe the campa'gn went no
further than Alessandria, but the representative of
this journal witnessed the first encounter at Monte-
bello, the attack on Palestro, the bloody combatsof
Magenta, and Malegnano, and the crowning,glory
of Solferino. France knows her own victories
principally through his pen and through the journal
which is described as her worst enemy. But hol
has this alleged enmity been otherwise shown r
We clung to peace as long as peace was possible,
and, indeed, when it was desperate, because, great
as were the wrongs of Italy, we had to set against
them the cost of a war, the sacrifices of which
would be terrible, the results uncertain. We
desired that Austria should be induced, one wa/
or another, to quit the soil where national anti-
pathy had made her a curse and had brought
dishonour on her name ; but we could not share
the responsibility of unsheathing the sword. When
the Austrians were so infatuated as to cross the,
Ticino it was clear that peace was impossible, and
their utter expulsion across the Alps seemed the
least prize of the now inevitable war. The En?"
peror himself proclaimed this—we accepted his
programme—" Italy shall be free from the Alps to
the Adriatic ;" his march from the Ticino to the
Mincio was one unbroken triumph ; the victory of
Solferino cost enough to ply for the independence
of all Italy ; Venice was ready to yield ;
and the
Great Quadrangle, attacked on all sides, might •
soon have been reduced, when, on a sudden, with-
out even consulting his ally in the next tent, the
Emperor concludes a peace which leaves Austria
still supreme in Italy. We may not yet know all
that weighed upon him, but we cannot forget all
we had said at his own instigation only a month
before. We share the regret of all Italy, of the
French army, and of France herself, that, having
paid the price most lavishly both in blood and
treasure, he did not win all Italy to independence.
He feels this regret himself so strongly that ever'
day he explains and apologises. Europe, he tells
the Papal Nuncio, was in general so unjust to hira
at the beginning of the war that he was happy t°
conclude peace as soon as the honour and interests
of France were satisfied. Here alone in the British
Parliament it is held all but treason to feel and
express the regret that every party to the war
avows to the whole world. But is it true that the
Emperor himself cares for our criticism ? Why
should he? Napoleon 111. is the foremost ins°
of his time ; the most prominent actor upon the
great stage of the world. He likes praise, no
doubt ; but he takes his chance of blame. The
one thing he would not like is to be unnoticed, and
that is the treatment prescribed for him by our
Parliamentary censors. He can shut out the Times
from all France whenever he likes,—his underlings
sometimes do so; but he as often overrules thew'
He knows better than his officious servants, either
here or at Paris; that we are the friend of both
nations. We deplore our own immense armaments'
but they are as nothing compared with those which
the Emperor declares to be none at all. We hal
i
reason to protest against his estimate of a peaceful
security. It compels on us no small part of the n"
conveniences of war; we suffer, and, with the use
of our tongues and pens, it is impossible not to cow'
plain of a burden which weighs heavily up"
France as well as upon England.

the 4.1NE8.---In Mining Shares, notwithstanding
of tereat rise in copper ore, and the improved appearance
,the metal markets generally, business has been dull, in
Zjit'Allparison with last week, though some of the dividend
hahave been in demand, and have advanced in price.
lesli there is very little going on, except among
._ Jobbers themselves, and the disposition of the public
;Willa to be to remain quiet during the hot weather. Wheal
'iargaret shares advanced to 60, and leave off at 59 to 61,
lathd firmer. Wheal Uny shares have been more in request,
,1/111(1. ?ldvanced to 8i 9 ; it appears that a shaft is in course of
tlag on one of the north lodes, which is now 17 fine.
6413, and at the bottom good stones of rich cre, embedded
t- t°BBan, have been broken this week; there are one or
ist% other points of interest in this part of the mine, and it
ht° be hoped something will soon be met with the co it have expended a large amount of money without, so
-`' the success they have deserved. Trevoole shares are
gilt
Mine,.e with scarcely a quotation, but we understand the
lls looking better in the bottom level, and has sampled
108 Mita this time. East Basset have advanced to 175,
°O, and more business doing.---Mining Journal of this day.
