THE NEW MINING ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen connected with
the minis, interest was held at the Old South Sea-house,
Threadendleetrest ; Mr. Borne in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said it had fregoently been represented
to him that it would be highly desirable for all parties
interested in mining transactions to have a place where
Ithe could meet to facilitate their business, and he felt cers
tainy that the orient spites wet not talculated to raise the
respectability of the mining community. It wee proposed
to names committee to frame certain role., which he hoped
would he drawn up in a liberal manner, not only to claim
the supportof the member., bat incline the public to have
leocfidence is their proceedings. He would not allude to
I any similar institution new in existence, but et
the same time they must avoid having a " family" com-
mittee, or Wag ander the dictation of a Arno, w Bich course
they might rely would cause distrust. (Hear, hear.) He
could ally remark that the foundation of much larger asses
sinless than he could expect this to be had been started by
a mush lees somber of gentlemen than those be saw around
him, and if they acted with energy they might depend upon
a successful result.
Mr.Gußoxi.Lo attended the meeting ussolicited. He felt
that the public had not sufficient facilities for mining trace-
actions. The holders in foreign mines had got quite sick of
them, and it was absurd to [lO to Spain, Portugal, or Ger-
many, when there was a fair chaste for speculation in
England. The prices at the present time were also marked
to suit certain parties, and as an Instance, he would state
that United Mines were marked 2251. when the real price
wee 2801. He wished success to the new undertaking, and
would at ones sebecribe to it • ' and if he approved of the
rans, would iodine his friends to join it.
The Cnstansit then proposed the fleet resolution, "Ttat
a Walls subseriptlawroem be established."
