MINIAG INTELLIGENCE.

There was a slight improvement in the miring mar-
ket lest weei,several transactions having been comple-
ted which were in course of negotiation. There still con-
tinues an inquiry for shares in leading and improving
mines (says the ilininy Journal), and although sellers
might be found at better retell, yet they generally de-
cline conforming to buyers' prices, the dentine in the
standard for copper ore having a tendency to depress
the value of shares. The present disturbed state of
the Continent may produce an unsatisfactory feeling
among Vie holders of copper, but we do not appreh-nd
that there is occasion for alarm from any excess of
stock, therefore we trust the depression will be but
brief. Tin has also experienced a fall, arising, no
doubt, from the greet sale of B tnea which will shortly
take place in Holland. Buyers aro evidently depres-
sing the price, with a view of purchasing in the
market at a cheaper rate. Ist is, however, probable
that a reaction will afterwards take place, as the stock
of tin is very low.
Tincroft is repramnted to continue improving, end is evi•
dently becoming a pr rmanent dividend-paying mine.
Tamer Consols, we learn, is also increasing considerably
her returns, and, consequently, profits, last month's being
estimated above 500 J., and the next will be lull 7001.; a dim
dead may be anticipated shortly.
South Basset, West Camdon, West 4taller, Dimon Great
Consols, Mary Ann, and East Wheal Nose are among the
several mines that have been inquired for darise the week.
Wheal Calstock is reprerantad to have improved very eon-

siderably, and buyers have sprung up at a considerable
advance.

At the Wheal Vincent meeting, the report presented by
Ste captain, and the explanation afforded by him afterwards,
were received with evident feelings of gratification ; although
the mine is in a position of profitable working, a call of 3..
per share was deemed necessary for discharging present and
some past
The transactions in foreign mines have been but few ;
some little business in St. John del Rey, Cnpiapo, Austra•
lien, Bolenos, National Br and United Mexican
appears to have been the extent.
Despatches were received yesterday by the St. John de!
Rey, National Brazilian, and Imperial Brazilian Mining
Companies.
The St. John del fey letters are to the ith April, and
give the returns for March at 22,177 oits., realising a profit
of 3,5281. Ils. Bd. for the month. The supply of stone had
been well kept up from the middle eachoeira, but it is con-
sidered prudent to prepare for any falling off in the returns,
by opening new ground in the east cachoeira, as well as
sinking the shaft.
The National Brazilian advices are to the 13th April. The
gold returns from the 26th March to 13th April, in both
mines, amount to mks. 11 86 8. There has been no im-
portant discovery; a favourable change is daily expected.
The Imperial Brazilian letters are to the 13.1 April. The
gold report from the 23rd March to 12th April amounts to
21 lbs. 3 on. 10 dwts. ; the total returns from the Ist Jan. is
123 lbs. 9 on. 9 dwts.
