Mr. Joseph Y. Watson, F.&.8., author of various
well known mining works, has issued a very inter-
esting report upon the " Progress of Mining in
the Year 1860." This is Mr. Watson's seventeenth
annual publication, and cannot fail to be interest-
ing to a large class. The following particulars are
afforded respecting the dividends declared by British

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE -(TTS DAY.)

The weatter has been fine liaM;l3 Monday, but with strong
bleak wind from the eastward. The morning there is •
clear sky with sunshine, but it is exceedingly cold, with •
stiff breeze from the north-east.
. .

The Thames continuing very full of ice, we have to report
but a very small supply of any description of corn coast-
wise, and only one parcel of Irish oats.
The foreign arrivals are also very scanty, the wheat and
barrel flour all American, with one small lot of French
sacks. Barley none, and oats one parcel from Prince
Edward's Island. Two cargoes of beans from France, one
from Portugal, sod several parcels of East India linseed
and oilseed. . _

The trade in English WacAT still continues dull fronsthe
state of the river' and prices purely nominal. Foreign
without change in value from Monday.
BARLEY fine at Monday's quotations.
OATH fully on dear, but the difficulty to work them checks
the sae.

--
Samos and PICAS without change in value.
FLOUR arm, both American and English ; Norfolks, 43e.
to 44,.
