MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining :formal of this day.)
MINES.—A moderately active business has bee
!
effected this week, and although not to any very con
siderablo amount, still satisfactory as regards the prlces
obtained. Wheal Buller has realised 8601. ; West Pro
vidence has advanced from 50/, to 521. and 531 ;
Caradon, 200 L to 2101.: Boscean, 161. to 201. and 25 ;
Gonamena, 301. to 401. ; Bedford United is in reqUest,s.
Si. 10s. to 81. 15s. ; Wicklow Copper, 411. to 411.. I°.:
Dolcoath, General Mining Company for Ireland,llll„,nlDer:
Company of Ireland, Par Consols, South Tamar, ?-r n,.
hane, and Wheal Golden are steady at the quottdro.
St. Day United, and a few more, continue g?de„d
quest. In other respects, the value of non-ci'll,nbar
paying shares generally seem to be drooping, the 1111'm
of sellers preponderating considerably.
In the Metal Market, continued• advances in price are
taking place in most descriptions. The Tin smelters der-
cline offers at the present quotations, and as East India
has risen 21. per ton, a rise equal to that may, doubtless,
be looked for. Plates are in most extensive deinsoc!'
and very large sales have been effected.— Copper
scarce, and prices firm.—Lead is in great request, ail°
higher rates giving.—Spelter is steady at 191. Os.'
Scotch Pig-iron is 58s. 6d. to 595. 6d.; Bar-iron is °.13,

increasing—price, 1. o. b., 81. 2s. 6d. The last adv!ceg

GLASGOW, Nov. 11.—Our pig-iron market has bee°
flat this week, and rather drooping'' in price. Warrants
are quoted to-day at 575. rcr t-. 11 cash.
In the Board of Trade returns for October, the itt
of copper comprises the only feature of interest in the'
figures. Thu imports of copper ore continuo less thln
s,
usual, the receipts during tho nine months being (1.? ii
30,482 tons, against 32,854 in the corresponding pert of
of last year, and 34,207 in 1850: but in the impor,t3s
copper " unwrought and part wrought," there 19 Pro
;hown above, a remarkable increase, which we belies
is caused in some measure by a large arrival of coprr
!rem the Norwegian copper wines. This item huv";eeg
is still considerably less than at former periods, °2' of
only 59,670 cwts., against 65,283 in the nino inolath3
1851, and 70,832 in 1850.

HORRIBLE DEATII.—A sawyer, who was ernpl°Yetri
on Wednesday at Mr. Eassis's saw-mills, met with his de,i'„„,
in the following shocking manner :—The mills in quesuie":
which are situate on the banks of the Glocester and /3er,tio

timber (which is shipped in large quantities int°,er.
port of Glocester) into railway sleepers, and very Paso.
tul steam machinery is erected for this purpose, t°, bf
in motion numerous circular saws. The timber c°lol
these saws is placed upon a species of railway, r4Q ore
gradually by machinery against the saws, which od
fixed in the floor, and revolve with immense rapiditi
power, cutting through a balk of timber at the rat° °
test per minute. The unfortunate deceased wa9iie, of
ploycd in feeding the mills, and was carrying a bt-
timber, when ho stumbled, and fell upon one of the„
volving saws, which in a moment tore through his °P.oBst

dividing him in two. A fellow-workman rushed t° its
assistance, but the merciless engine had too well dope
work. The saws were stopped, and the poor felloW4o%
lifted from them a corpse, the floor of the building by
deluged in the blood.
