The circular of Mr. Tredinnick of Old Broad
Street, London, which has just been published,
supplies us with some interesting information
respecting the m;)vement in mines. It says—
Cornish Mining enterprise has received a great impetus,
consequent upon the very important discoveries recently
made at Great South Tolgus an i the North Frances Mines,
at the farmer the lode is reported to be worth for Copper
2501 per fm at the 60 fm level, whilst the deposit of ore is
favourably situeed for rapid and economical development,
it can be commanded at several points both above and
below, and at trifling expenditure ; at North Frances the
lode in the shaft is worth 60/. per fm, and the success of
the adventure is placed beyond question, this mine is in the
granite, whilst the former is in killas or clay slate, and
they stand about two miles apart—both are, however, in
the same north and south parallel, and will douttless pro-
gress for years to come. Alfred Consols shares are 19 to
20, a fall of 2/. to 3/. ; the floocan is cut at the 140, and
the cr_ss-cut south is started to intersect the lode east
thereof ; 12), north part, worth 251, south part 201; 100 east
120/ ; the rise above holed to the winze. North Basset
has risen from 19 to 21 to 22; West Alfrel Consols 28 to
30, and in demand; Great Alfred 6 to 61-, the water is
forked only to the 115 fns level; Providence 82 to 84 (div
of Si this day) ; West Basset 31 to 32 ; Basset 265 to 275;
South Frances 300, and inactive, a fad. of 601 has taken
place during the year ; Buller 370 to 380, a rise of 50 per
cent. during the year. Great South Tolgus 191 to 20 ;
North Frances 19 to 20, the former stood at 14/ and the
latter at 10/ at the close of 1856, ere the end of the year
both will advance to at least 301; Carnewas lOc to 12s 6a ;
with South Gorland in healthy demand. Capitalists em-
barking into Cornish and Devon Mines would do well to
select those those that are bane fide progressive, practically
managed, and situate in good and approved mineral
districts over others intrinsically valueless, which
are more marketable yet .übjeot to constant fluctuations,
and strongly advocated by jobbers and dealers in the
London Share market, and who usually know nothing of
mining: in fact, no pursuit pays so well as legitimate
mining, whilst, on the contrary, continual chopping and
changing ifrom good to bad and thence to worse,
ever ends in loss and dissatisfaction. Mining opera-
tions require time, patience, and expenditure; still we know
instances of properties being sacrificed from shareholders
refusing to pay trifling calls, when for speculative transac-
tions in shares, they have• expended hundreds, nay thou-
sands !, without a murmur; the former is honest healthy
enterprise, the latter gambling; one is tedious, the other
exciting—ten to one embrace the later—thence the oppro-
brium so unjustly cast on mining adventure: for the guid-
ance of those who are as yet not fascinated with the feverish
excitement of market transactions, and desire to prclls
through divs. from future profits, we select the following :
---Margery, Boiliog Well, West Sharp Tor, Great South
Tolgus, Old Tolgus -United, South Cain Urea, North
Frances, Buller and Basset United, Tolvadden, Ca and
Vean, South Gorland, Carvannal, Agar, South Buller and
West Penstruthal, Carnewas, North Basset, South Frances,
Basset, West Basset, Condurrow, West Seton, East Pool,
South Tolgus, Harriet, West Stray Park, and Forest.
The half yearly meeting of the Provincial Bank
of Ireland was held in London to-day'. The report
adverted to the physical, social, and commercial
improvement of Ireland, and entered into details
showing the great prosperity of the bank. A divi-
dend and bonus were declared, making a gross
dividend of 18 per cent per annum. The Chair-
man, Mr. Oliver Farrer, stated that out of 967
shareholders 660 were in Ireland, and of the exe-
cutive officers of the bank there were 6 English,
Scotch, and 156 Irish,

depression, At the various markets held to-day an
