is semely any Miami.* In pries. Lomb meets with a dull

At the three monthly meeting of Providence mines,

clared. The acc3unts were—balance last meeting,

of adventurer, of 7751. 4s. 2d.—from which deduct
dividend of 672/. leaves balance in band of

At Wheal Mary Mine Ducting a call of is. 63. pa'
share was made.

A good discocery has been made at Mill Pool, and
a 30 inch cylinder steam engine is to be erected.
At the meeting a call of lf. per 256th share was
made.

The non-payment of a dividend at the meeting of
Trepane has caused a little flitness in the shares.
The ou'lay attendin4 the erection of the steam en-
gine, altering pit-work, Szc., greatly increased the cur-
rent expenses and prevented some of the underground
works front being continued. In another month the
mine will be in full operation again, and the expense
saved of paying Trelawny for water.
The reports from the Welsh lead mines during the
week have been upon the whole of a favourable cha-
racter, and sincn tho late rains the works have pro-
ceeded without interruption. Lisburne mines con-
tinue their usual produce undiminished. Goginan
mine is not: so floar:shing, but some workings on
new ground are very promising for future returns.
Cwmerfln, Cefn Bruno, and Blwch Consols are re-
ported to have improved, and of other mines there are
also favourable reports.
Wheal Friendship shows some slight improvement
since last report. The 203 fathom level west of Bul-
ler's Shaft is producing a little more ore. The cross-
cuts in search of the branch or parallel lades are prc-
gressing favourably.
The report from Cefu Bruno states that the lede in
the Whim Shaft is four feet wide and of a very pro-
mising appearance, tow yielding two tons of lead ore
per fathom. Lode in adit west is 2 feet wide, pro-
dacing stones of ore. The deep adit level is driven
25 fathoms, ground favourable.
We learn from a correspondent at Adelaide, under
date April 22, that the Barra Burrs mine is still pro-
ducing as well as ever, end paying dividends of 401.
per annum on 3/. shares. Ihe Kapunda mine is also
bringing in good incomes t, the few proprietors. None
of the other mines have yet done anything in the way
of dividends.

We extract from the weekly circular of Mesire.
Bateman and Von Dadebzen, Jun., metal brokers, the
following remarks on the state of the metal market :
Tin has again tithe, and the last price accepted fer 11 moo
was 801., at which shout 1,500 slabs have been sold. The
market clones firm, v.ith buyers at 801., and sellers at 811.

ANECDOTE OF WORDSWORTII.—" Why, you Ste
this wuz the way I canted to know Wadswuth" (the Leiters
thus pronounce the latirewe's name), " si as I shan't ferceen
alien in a hurry When 1 wuz gaud of the Whi:e-
haven mail," here he refreshed himself with a blast,
" five years &gone and more, as we wuz a slappin' along,
and just coming to a sharpish turn—you knows the earner
nigh the bridge, two miles this :fie Etswiek—what should
we see," here he put the horn to hi, mouth for another
flourish, but his wile, with screwed-up eyes, snatched
it out, "what should we see but sumthin' uncommon tall
and grand, t soling aloe g a little pony shay, as cool es Mr..
der. I give you my word and honour, gentlemen," said he,
turning round to us quite impressively, " I never had (Tea-
aloe but this once to tune up this bless"' barn as a warning,
and bang me if I didn't mks it. ' Oh, Islrd, here's a smash,'
said I ; and afore the words wuz out of my mouth, crash
went the shay all to smitherine right through a dry well,
and slap went the driver over auto • p'antation—arms out,
and pus' coat a flying. We thought for ante 'twas all over
with's; but presently he picked himself up uncommon tall
ages, and szys he, I'll have thi4 matter thoroughly inves-
tigated.' With this he walked otf towards the public
' And Bill,' tail coach, to I, very d .wn like, for 'twas a
bad bit of business, ' Who de think tint is ?' ' Well, who
he't., Jam r says I. ' Why, who but tho powit Wadewuth.'
And now, gentlemen, salt he, turning round, when you nest
' goes to Keswick, just by the bridge, about two mile out,
you'll see two yards of the wall down to this day, and that's
