MINING INTELLIGENCE..

(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There is no perceptible change in the mining market•
Shares in general are flat, whilst most of the calling stocks
are unsaleable, except at mere nominal prices. South Cara-
don are quoted 2801. to 2901.; Trelawny, 441. to 461.; South
Tamar, 91. 15s. to 10/. 55.; North Robert, 9/. 15s. to 111•
North Trelawny, 61. 15s. to 71.; Alfred Cousols, 221., 221.
103., to 231.; South Frances, 2501. to 2601.; Buller, 8001. to
8201.; North Pool, 1501.; Trumpet, 130/, to 1351.; Trehane,
121.; Cijah and Wentworth, 101. 10s. We referred last
week to the reports of the San Fernando Mining Company
and we understand since then all the unappropriated shares
have been taken up at par (11. per share).
During the week, shares have changed hands in the
following :

There is still no improvement to be noticed in the
Gold Mining Share Market, and, if possible, these secu-
rities have experienced a further downward tendency.
Agua Frias are considerably weaker, while, nearly with-
out exception, the other descriptions of stock are scarcely
enquired after. The Anglo-Californian Gold Mining
Company, it would appear, have not been enabled to
dispose of their unissued shares to the proprietary ; and
this is scarcely to be wondered at in the present state of
the market, the ruling price for this description of stock
being at present from a to g per share.

THE NEW STAMP DUTIES.—The penny receipt stamp;
for bills and notes will not 001110 into operation till the
10th October. It will be ld. under 51., and 2d. under

BILL STEALlNG.—Yesterday the amended bill to pre-
vent fraudulent dealings in bills of exchange and promis-
sory notes was issued. It contains 7 clauses. A person

THE CHOLERA AND THE BOARD OF HEALTH._yester•
day, at a numerous meeting of the St. Marylebone
Board of Guardians, a communication was read from the
General Board of Health, drawing attention to the re-
cent severe outbreak of cholera in the parish of St.
Anne, Limehouse, and urging that boards of guardians
should be active in the exercise of sanitary precautions
against a more general outbreak. It was especially
quested by the Board of Health that the medical officers
of the guardians should fill up daily returns of all caaae
of choleraic disease treated by them, and that these re•
turns should be regularly transmitted to the board, who
would be most ready in every possible way to co-operate
with the various boards of guardians. On the niotiono
Dr. Russell, a sanitary committee was appointed, ;vita
authority to carry out the same arrangements as on the
last visitation of cholera.
