(From the Mining Journal of this dAy;)

South _Tamer, sli'e ; Mill Pool,. 3 ; Wheal, Neptune, 4.;
-with a fair amount or dealings in several _ other mines
that are becoming productive and are attracting the
notice of purchasers. Several of the dividend paying
mines are inquirad for, and doubtless . the , influx of
--money, acquired fremeethe 'receipt of dividends now pay-
able upon Government stock, will induce parties to sub-
mit to the prient'aSking for:.shares of that deseription.
- In the Metal Market-etopper as in increased demand,
and scarce._ In British Tin teere is little doing, and the
price by no means firm: 1,000 blabs of Bence has been
sold at 781., sellers now asking 80/. An extensive busi-
ness has been transacted in Tin-plates,- lent at no ad-
vance in price. Lead is in great request, large dealings
have taken place, and an advance in keries is expected.
