MINES.—We have often remarked that when bu.iness
dug in the stock and railway ntarkek mines are
articularly active; and this week, while the news
America of bank failures and mercantile

roM

difficulties, has caused as advance in discounts, and a
general fall in stocks and shares ; great excitement
has been shown in the mining market, and business
more than usually brisk. This has been caused in a
great measure by the discovery at East Basset,
where the copper lode in the 60fm. level is yield-
iug 10 tons of rich ors per fathom ; oe Tuesday, when
the discovery was made, the shares in London were 75,
sellers, hnt when it became known on Thursday they
rose to 100, 110, and leave off 110 to 120 ; just a month
ago the shares were 50. This rise offers another ex-
ample of what a discovery in the Basset district affords,
and to which we have frequently alluded. East Basset
was originally part of Wheal, or South alsget, and was
-eparated from the sett a few years ago, and the shares
i.sued at Si. per 256:1), or 2/. 101. the present share.—

RESIGNATION OF THE JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL
COUNTY COURT —The public of Liverpo )1 have Item d
with regret that the delicate health tf Mr. Joseph Pol-
lock, the judge of the County Court in that town; has
induced him to place his resignLtion in the hands of the
Chancellor of the Dueby of Lancaster. Few public oen
are more respected than Mr. Pollock, whose .tales.t,,
tact, and urbanity gate universal satisfaction. Hia re-
signation will be a great lo s to Liverpool, but it is to be
hoped that, when rtleased permanently from the harat-
slog duties of the office ho so couscientiotiNly filled, that
his services may yet be secured to the country for many

years to come.
