COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARX-LANE.—THIS DAY.
The fresh snivals of all descriptions of grain this week
have been moderate; but the large receipts of the two
previous weeks still hang on the market, which creates a
dulness; at the same time holders continue firm in their
demands, and purchases could not be made on easier terms
this morning.
There was a steady retail sale for Oats, at the currency
of Monday Met.
In Barley, Beans, and Peas no change occurred.

states theitiles day last week the miters in a teal-pit on the
Jawfeu islets struck inadvertently epee same old work-

&Nowa great violence. Although there were 28 men in
the p the time, the whole succeeded in reaching the
ple-emmth In safety. The water then forted its way to the
mikes with greet vieleues and in such a largevoiume that
it washed down about 20 yards of a stone wall on the rail-
way, which for a considerable time was completely flooded'
in the Neighbourhood of the station. A passage was at
length cut for it, which allowed the water to flow into the
canal.

TUESDAY EVENING.
The mining share market to-day has been very
animated. The demand has been more especially
observable in the heavy stocks, which are decidedly
rising. The principal dealings have been in Wheal
Clifford, at 150 ; Devon Crest Consols, 3921 ; Wheal
Cumford, 16 ; Alfred Consols, 131, 14 ; West Cara-
don, 1821 ; Wheal Arthur, 29, 1, 1 ; South Caradon,
140; South Basset, 6101 Wheal Brewer, 22 ; North
Bassett, 101, •, Past Tolgus, 36 ; South Frances,
187$ ; Wheal Buller, 805 ; Treviskey, 130 ; West
Providence, 49.
There was again a good deal of business in the
gold mining shares, some stimulus having been given
by the advices published in the fierily News this
morning, but holders appeared more willing to meet
the inquiries, and thus the tendency of prices was
not quite so favourable, especially at the termination
of the market. After the (regular hours, Yuba
Rivers were quoted only 1 to ?, prem. Liberty
shares txpmenced some fluctuation, ranging be-
tween and 11 prem.
Shares in the British Iron Companies are looking
up again, the price being called to-day .51..t_c_61.
The Copiape Miss *MPS*" "
Melia dated" the 31st et August. At Cheeo Copper
Mine the 40 fathom is being extended east, and has
a most promising appearance, and is yielding some
very good ore from the atopes in the li.ack of the 20
fathom level. At San Augustin, in the several levels
now being extended, both to the north and south, the
'lode is large, and yielding a fair quantity of good
ore ; also in the north, middle, and south shaft there
is a large productive lode. At San Carlos large
vault:es of good ore arc being raised. The sliver
mines ate improving. It appears that this mining
district is becoming daily of more importance, and if
the mines go on improving for the next year in the
same ratio as in the past, and of which there is every
probability, it will eclipse Chanareillo, and become
second to wine in the silver milling world. Tho
mines of Solitaria and Margarita are without
alteration.
Accounts from the Lake Superior copper region
report the continued successful prosecution of the
various workings. The Cliff Mine is stated to be
raising to surface ready for shipment about 100 tons
of ore per month, the Minnesota more than 50 tone
per month, and the North West Company 40 tons
per month. A large number of the mines in this
region are raising copper, but, owing to the roads
being so bad in summer, they can only transport the
produce to the lake in the winter, when there are
great facilities by means of sleight, eec. The ship-
ments consequently come forward in great quantities
in the spring. At the Phi:unix Mine some new dis-
coveries have recently been made, affording evidence
of extraordinary richness. The vein was traced out
by a line of ancient and extensive diggings, made by
the primitive inhabitants of the country. The vein
has been exposed in several places, and is found to
be large and well filled with copper. In sinking at one
point to a depth of 24 feet, some 1,3001 be. of copper
were taken out in pieces of considerable size, and in
another place a mass weighing 2,390 lbe. was re-
moved from the surface of the vein. The cultivation
of the land is being more attended to, with a view to
rendering the miners independent, partially, at least,
of supplies from the south, and securing them from
the privations to which they have occasionally been
exposed in the early part of the spring, when the
navigation of the lake is difficult. It is conjectured,
from specimens of quartz found in this region, that
gold may very probably be discovered there, near to
and between the iron and copper " locations," and
upon the strength of these indications land has actu-
ally been bought by enterprising parties.
Letters from San Juan del Norte mention the dis-
covery of extensive beds of coal, said to be anthra-
cite, and of good quality.
