MINING IN TELLIGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal this day.)
Since our last a very considerable amount of busi-
ness has been transacted, and the inquiries for shares
in our leading mines are maintained by renewal of
orders. The present standard fur copper ore is
bringing several mines into a profitable position, and
the firmness of the metal markets is highly favourable
to the advanced quotations of the several recently-
improved mines.
In Devon Great Consols several shares have
changed hands, under our former quotations; but we
do not learn that any apparent change in the prospects
have warranted the depression.
Treviskey and Barrier, Stray-park, and Trelawny,
have been done at advanced prices, and inquiries still
continue for them in consequence of the reported im-
provements that have taken place.
In Camborne Consols and Bryn-ar-ian a large
number of shares were done.
Wheal Seton and West Wheal Seton are repre-
sented to have improved.
The extraordinary discovery recently made in
Wheel Adams continues to improve, and the lode is
now worth full 1001. per fathom.
Holmbush and Callingtod Mines are stated to have
improved ; the former in the flap-jack lode, and the
latter at Kelly Bray, in the 70.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
since our last :—Devon Great Consols, East Wheal
Rose, Treviskey and Barrier, Condurrow, Stay Park,
Trehane, Trelawny, Camborne Consols, Drake Walls,
Bedford Unitsd, Tamar Consols, Tincroft, Traleigh,

ST. GEORGE'S HARMOMC SOCIETY.—The first
concert of the second season of this very prosperous
society took place on Friday evening, and passed off
with éclat. It was appropriately opened with a madrigal
by AHmann, " Welcome, welcome, do we sing," which,
as well as the madrigals, " I saw lovely I'hilli" and
Dowland's " To take the air a bonny Lass," was given
by the whole corps of members with care, precision, and
effect. The principal vocalists were Miss Ellen Lyon,
Miss El'zs Lyon, Miss Collins, Miss Buckland, and
