MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
One or two descriptions of shares have been sought after
this week, and amongst them West Bassets have risen to 181•
per share (6000ths), and few sellers to be found even at this
high premium. A highly satisfactory report was presented to
the meeting, and a dividend of 6,0001., or 11. per sb.are, will,
it is said, be made in about four months. Upon tb e whole,
there is more business doing, and we expect a better• state of
things when the market has become even more wee ded. At
East Rose, the lode has been cut good in the 160, ai id caused
an inquiry for shares.
In the Bullion Market,—Dollars, ss. op. per oz. Bar
gold, if containing above 20 dwts. of silver per pound, 770.
lOid. per oz. standard ; ditto, without silver, 775. Bar
silver, ss. lid. per oz. standard ; ditto, holding 5 grt z. of goal,
ss. lid. Columbian Doubloons, 775. 3d. to 775. 6d. per oz.
The Gold Mining Share Market has experienced no reaction
for the better during the week. Shares remained ei ceedinglY
flat and du I, few inquiries being made ; the Nell I Granada,
shares have been somewhat firmer, which, with the A ,gua Fria,
are about the only ones in which business has been. done, the
latter having continued at a premium. Nouveau I llonde has
been exceedingly low; the Quartz Rock and Mar have
continued at a discount ; and the Colonial Gold has reached
par. Metcalfes have been firmer, and Port Royals and Penhi" sulars have been steady at quotations. We have scarcely
any
news from Australia or California, although the arrivals .have
been extensive. The demand for gold for remiittanees bas
been brisk during the week, and for the Continent, in parti-
cular, remains unabated.
In Miscellaneous Shares the market has been generally
steady.

In Iron and Coal Companies during the week the, market
has remained very flat. The only transaction we haw to no-
tice is with regard to British Iron, which have been done at 6.
