(From the Mining/event:lo
An average amount of business has been transacted
this weds, and the amounts from the mines generally are of
• most cheerier character.

In Devon Great Consols several abuts have changed
hands at an advanced price. Treviskey and Barrier have
been in demand, and business done at a considerable ad.
Vanes, 'riding from some vary important improvement■.
Coadurrow, Bast Pool, South Basset, and South Tolgu.s,
have also been in request. Herodsloot is represented to
have improved, especially in the 94 north, and the 82
'south.

Tiler* has been an inquiry for Tincroft, and several shares
hate changed hands at en advance. Since lest week's report
a very important and valuable discovery has been made; in
driving a cross cut north from the 80 fm. level, they have
intersected a new lode (now called Grant's lode), and from
the last account they nate driven 6 feet into it, and no ap-
pearance of the north wall. The lode is estimated as worth
iron 601. to 601. per Is. A eroas-cut has also been com-
mented in the 70, to intersect it at that point. At North
Tincroft engine shah, sinking wan the 100 him Isla, Ile
leis it 7 It. wile, worth WI. pee • Other pares et the
mine continue productive.
In Great Rough Tor Consols an important improvement
has taken place ;in driving a cross-cut in the 46 fathom level
east they hi ve iotenected a large and productive lode, hav-
ing every appearance of further improvemera.
Among the m veral improving mines in \Vales we may
notice Bsgair Llee, Dane, Court Grange, Llwyomaleee,
Bast Garen, ete. ; and we learn that Pens nk and Brglodd
mines have teen taken up by an influential company, with
• view of working spiritedly.
At North Friendship they have discovered a very produe-
tive lode, now rich for lead. This discovery will prove highly
advantar;eons for Kinesett and Bedford, as the lode ram
through the latter sett for 400 fins.
At Wheal Comfort meeting a dividend of 31. per there
was declared.

At South Frances usual bi•monthly meetiog a dividend of
121. 10s. per share wee declared for the mitnths of D..ctmber
and January, leaving a Wane* of 1,1551. t, credit of next
account. A profit cf 1,7751. ICs. was made on the two
months' working, and the mine is represented as being in a
highly stratifying position.
The ()ocums Mines declared the usual bi-monthly
dhi-
dead of 5001. for December and January, being 51. per
share, payable at the offices of Messrs. John Taylor aid Son.
At North Wheal Friendship meeting, the accouott for
three months were audited, acd a balance of 1251. 17s. 9d.
found in favour of the mine; but, in consequence of some
heavy law charges attendant upon the preparation of the
Rases, a call of 10s. per share was made, for paying off the
same.

At East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend of 151. per share
was declared.

Wheal Russell account for three months wu held on the
21st Feb., when a balance of 3361. wu shown apinat
the adventurers, and a call of 10s. per share was made.
At the But Buller hi-monthly account a balance of
4101. 3s. Bd. was due to the purser, and a call of 11. yer
share wu made.

At the meeting of South Wheal Josiah, the accounts
showed balance in favour of adventurers (supposing all calla
paid) of only 9111. 6s. A tardy at of justice to the honest
adventurers was resolved on—that et abso:ute forfeiture of
ell shares on which exist outstanding calls. When it is cou-
ntered how many highly promising undertaking, have bees
eventually " knacked,' from indecisive conduct in this re-
spect, it is to be hoped the managers of this mine will not
subject themselves to censure, should such fate result on
their proceedines.
At Great Work meeting, the profit on the workings of
October, November, and December, allowed a dividend of
101. per share being declared.

will be completed by the Ist May, when the returns wi,l be
considerably ice eeeee d. An improvement has recently been
made, by the discovery of a lode 14 io. wide, solid boo.
A few weeks aince we noticed the discovery of a rich vein
of lead near the surface at Landaulph, which attracted
considerable attention at the time. We are able to give the
following state of the progress being made : Wyniond's
shaft has been sunk 61 fathoms, on the course of the lode;
the lode is lull 4 ft. big, composed of iich silver leal ores,
pilau, quartz, and a few spots of mundic. The rocks of lead
ore are from 56 to 100 lbs. in a rock ; and the underlie of
the lode is 2 ft. 4 in. per fathom ; the walls are perfectly
regular, without a warp."
A report from Penzance, in giving a summary of business
transacted in the locality, states that Botalluk shares have
been in request, and done at an advance ; Whist 'teeth had
improved in price ; West Wheal Treasury bad very consi-
derably improved. 112 Penzance Consols a large a=ount of
business has been transacted, and the mine is represented ea
in a very productive and highly promising position. An
ineffrc,ual attempt had been made to amalgamate and work
conjointly the Boewidden and Nan can setts. The mines in
the neighbourhoods of Redruth, Illogan, and Gwennap are
stated to be looking remarkably well, and mining generally
was in a gratifying and encouraging position.
The failure of Messrs. B. Smith and Son' of Bow, copper
smelters, was announced on Wednesday last. From inquiries
which we have made we do not learn that any of our home
mines are likely to suffer.
