MINES.

(rro:n the Daily News.)

SATURDAY EYRYINO.

Although during the week a large amount of busi,
netts has been transacted in the mining share market,
prices iu many instances have nut been maintained.
fhe upward movement noticed fur so long a period,
has thus received a cheek, but the reaction is only
what was expected, as such is the invariable conse-
quence of a prolonged movement in either a rising err
descending Willie in any market. The healthy cha-
racter of the market is rather proved by the revul-
sion. Among the instances of decline, Alfred Con-
sols receded to IW.; but owing to a discovery we an-
nounced on Friday, the shares have since rallied con-
siderably The greatest rise of the week has been in
Tregordan, these shares being in demand at 30/. (or
61. per 1,120 th), without finding sellers. Considerable
business has been done in East Tamar, andthe shares
are on the move upwards. South Itimars are rather
flat at 21. South Trelawneys have risen from 21 to
4, and are inquired after. The present quotations of
the market were given in our impression of this
morning. Foreign shares are unchanged in value
this week, except a slight improvement in United
Mexican, and a trifling decline in St. John del Rey.
One of the features most encouraging to nailing
enterprise at present apparent is the increased fact-
Sties which are now afforded to the speedy and accu-
rate convertibility of shares. It is to be hoped that
shares in every adventure will soon be converted
with as much facility as those in railways, and that
the real definite market will with as much ease be
ascertained. So soon as these desirable objects shall
have been fully attained, and we are glad to observe
that great progress has of lute been muds in this di-
rection, a great impetus will certainly be given to
fair mining adventure, the transactions in shares
will be much more numerous and important, and
many investments will be made by a large section
of the public which ut present is deterred,
from seeking employment for surplus capital in this
description of security merely because cosh is not so
readily obtainable for mining shares as for those in
other undertakings carried on upon the joint-stock
principle. For some time past the high price of the
English government funds has driven a large mass of
capital into a few of the foreign stocks most in fa-
vour fur investment, but more especially into the
railway share market; and there can be no doubt
that mining shares would also have absorbed their
fair share but for the consideration to which we have
alluded.

STRIAE• ON THE BANGOR AND CARNARYON RAIL-
WAY.—In consequence of a large number of Irishmen
being employectin its construction, the Welsh and English
navvies all along this line have struck. The turn-out has
been general, tep the men forced, by threatened hostilities,
those employed in the tunnels to discontinue their work awl
join them in expelling the obnoxious party. About forty
special constables were swum in, as great disturbance was
anticipated. The men have refused to return to their work
until the whole of the Irish shall have been discharged.
Their hostility has been manifested for some tins., but a;
strike was Rot expected.
