The Armonia, the organ of the clerical party at
Turin, devotes a long leader in its number of the
29th ult. to the affair of the circular addressed by
Archbishop Franzoni to the clergy of his diocese,
exhorting them to refuse obedience to the new law
abolishing ecclesiastical privileges. It fully con-
firms the facts of the seizure of the said
circular by the Government, and of the pro-
secution commenced against the Archbishop as the
author of it. The Armonia declares this proceeding
to be illegal, and quotes the Council of Trent, and a
Papal circular of the 14th of June, 1823, to show that
an Archbishop cannot be prosecuted, nor even exa •
mined in a court of justice, but is solely dependent on
the authority of the Pope.
The Nazionale of Florence publishes a petition from
the Municipal Council of Londe, praying the Grand
Duke of Tuscany to put in execution the Fundamen-
tal Statute proclaimed in 1848.
The Giornale di Roma of the 24th ult. publishes an
order of the day of the Pro-Minister of War, directing
that all the officers and soldiers who deserted from their
corps during the Roman revolution, and joined the
Papal troops at Frosinone, shall now return to their
former corps ; those who were dismissed by the
Republic shall be entitled to their pay for the interval
they have been out of service, and those who had
applied for and obtained their discharge from the
revolutionary Government may apply for re-ad-
mission into the service before the Ist of September
next.

On the 23d a deputation arrived from the city of
Ancona to congratulate the Pope on his return.
Monsignor Grassellini was one of the members of
this deputation, which was presented to the Pope by
Cardinal Ferretti. It afterwards waited upon Car-
dinal Antonelli.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The mining share market continues less active than
we have notice d it for some time; whilst the mines gene.

In North Buller shares several transactions have taken
place. at better prices.
At Hawkmoor, we learn that a very considerable im-
provement has taken place in the 20 fm. level going
east, where they have a lode 2 feet wide, solid ore. Other
points of the mine have also improved.

made, in a winze below the 135 going west, where they

which, added to credit from last account, allowed a divi-
dend of O. per share : leaving balance in pursers's hand,
63/. 18s. 10d. The prospects of the mine continue of
the most favourable character ; but, in consequence of
the erection of some machinery, cost of engine, pit-work,
/cc., and the fall in price of tin, the next dividend will
not be above 105. per share.
