Mows.—There was a good rise in the standard for
copper ores last week and another expected this week,
in consequence of which we have had more doing in
copper mines than for come time past, and several shares
which have been greatly depressed show symptoms of
rallying. Tin mines are still in the ascendant as regards
price, and there is a good demand for Owes. Lead
mines are &so looking up, and shares into those paying
dividends diffienit to get. There is an sy feeling
a' road in regard to the money market, but we do net
appr• bend that the mining market will be mirch'afftcted,
so long as metals continue to ri.e, or even keep at the
present standard. TWO or th eel speculative mines, in
which a
large
bu,inese hal previously been doing, have
been fLit this week, and shares being more offered, prices
have -reed ed.—Mining Journal of this day.
Tlis LATE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT THE
RHYMNEY IRONWORKS.—We published in the early part
of he week, some particulars of a destructive and fatal
boiler explosion at the Rhyri3ney Iron-works Glamorgan-
shire, by which the engine driver, Owen Davies, and two
of the workmen engaged in the "bulling" department,
were killed, and abcut twelve others moreor less severely
injured. The inquest, commenced by Mr. G. Overton, the
coroner for the district, on the body of one of the men,
Robert Hobbs, and which wasadjonreed for the purpose of
enabling some experienced engineer to examine the frag-
ments of the iron wasresumed the day beforeyesterday, at
the G ere ral Picton Inn, and excited a good deal of iote
rest. Mr. Harbert Mack worth, one of her Majesty's
Inspectors of Collieries, attended, by direction of the
Secretary of State, to watch the proceedings, and assist
in the inquiry.—Mr. Rich. Phillips, boiler maker, who
was well acquainted with the boiler of the Rbymney
Iron Works, deposed that he saw the boiler very shortly
before the explo-ion took place, and it was then in very
goo repair. The witness was questioned a good
.1
desl by the coroner and jury, with a view to elicit from
hies the probable cause of the accident, but he was un-
ak.,le to give any satisfactory Explanation of the acci-
dent.—John Jones deposes; that ho was a stoker in the
employ of the Bbymney Company, and at the time the
explesion took place he was assisting in working the
engine. Almost unmediately before the explosion took
place, witness tried the gauge cocks ; there was a suffi-
ciency of water in the boiler. Mr, Furman, the chief
engineer of the iron-works at Dowlies, was also exa•
mind at considerable length, but confessed himsell
unable, although he had Examined the remains of the
boiler, to say froin what cause the accident had arisen.
The inquiry having occupied nearly nine hours, the
jury, after a short coneult..tion, returned a verdict that
the deceased was killed by the accidental explosion of a
boiler, the cause of which explosion is at present un-
known, The coroper for Monmouilshire, held an in-
quest on the body of 0 wen Davies, the engineer, whose
body hod been removed into his district, and the jury in
that case returned a verdict of accidental death. The
body of the third man having been erroneously buried
without an invest, an order for its exhumation has been
is- ued, and an inquiry will yet take Cheri.
NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.—The following challenge
has been i,sued to the members of all foreign yacht
clubs :—"New York, U.S.A., July 20, 1857. Sirs,—
