MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal)
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 for 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
Wheal Adams continues to improve, and the lode is
now worth full 1001. per fathom.
Holmbuah and Callington 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 United, Tamar Consols, Tincroft, Traleigh,
West Seton, Bryn-ar.ian, Mendip Hills, South and
East Tamar, West Wheal Providence, Mary Ann,
Trehane, Bwlch Consols, East Pool, East Buller,
South Basset, South :Francis, North Pool, Comfort,
Trethellan, West Caradon, West Tolgus, West Trea-
sury, &c.
In foreign mines the transactions have been rather
limited this week, although some business has been
done in St. John del Rey, United Mexican, Copiapo,
Imperial Brazilian, Alten, and the Worthing (South
Australia).
The Alten Mining Company have received letters
from the mines to the 26th September, and the reports
furnish a very favourable account of the progress of
operations, and general prospectis of the mine.

ST. GEORGE'S HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The first
concert of the second season of this very prosperous
society took place on Friday evening, and passed off
with ickit. It was appropriately opened with a madrigal
by Altmann, " Welcome, welcome, do we sing," which,
as well as the madrigals, " I saw lovely Phillis" 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 Eliza Lyon, Miss Collins, Miss Buckland, and
Miss Phillips; Messrs. Lovett and Frank Dudley, W.
H. Seguin, IT. Buckland, and Mattacks. Miss Mansel
perfarmed a brilliant fantasia on the pianoforte, as did
Mr. Ellis Roberts (harpist to his Royal Highness the
Prince of %Vales) on the harp, selecting for his theme
the air of " Llwyn omu," on which the English song
" Cease your funning" is founded. Altogether the con-
cert appeared, and most deservedly so, to create general
satisfaction. Conductor, Mr. S. T. Lyon; accompanyists,
Messrs. J. C. Beuthin and A. Jackson,
