intended to proceed to Portici on the 4th, where it

number of churches in the neighbourhood, after which
his intention was to proceed to Benevento, and take

so that no one would suppose that it had passed
through a revolution.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
A fair amount of business has been transacted this
week iu the mining share market; and from the general
improvements in the mines and advance in the standard,
we may reasonably expect a proportionate increase.
The inquiries for shares in our leading and dividend-
paying mines have been active; but sellers are generally
seeking higher prices, and actual business is thereby
delayed, by the necessary negotiations which are going on.
East Wheal Rose, West Caradon, and South Wheal
Frances, have paid their bimonthly dividends since our
last notices, and have created buyers in consequence.
Devon Great Consols, South Basset, North Pool, West
Seton, South Tolgus, and Treviskey and Barrier, are
being sought for at or about former quotations.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week:-East Wheal Rose, Devon Great
Consols, South Tamar, North Pool, West Caradon,
Mary Ann, Trelawny, Bedford United, Tamar Consols,
South Molten, Kingsett and Bedford, Trehane, South
Josiah, Cwm Erfin, Camborne Consols, Mendip Hills,
East Buller, Wellington Mines, South Tolgus, Wheal
Comfort, Treleigh.
West Caradon account for May and June was held on
the 30th of August. when a dividend of 21. 10s. per
share was declared. The financial statement shows a
profit of 2921. 13s. on the two months' working, which,
with balance from last account, gave a balance in hand
of 2,0611. 1 ls. 10d.; after payment of dividend, a credit
of 1,4211. Ils. 10d. is carried to next account. The mine
is stated to be in a progressing and highly satisfactory
position.
At the East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend of
3,840/. was declared, being 301. per share on the two
months' working, carrying balance of 2,7161. 19s. 4d. to
credit of next account. The sale of silver lead ores for
May and June realised 10,600/. 19s. ld., and the mine
is represented to have much improved in her bottom
levels, especially in the 120, south of the engine-shaft.
south Wheal Frances account for June and July was
held on the 3d instant. The profit for the two months
amounted to 1,2501. 9s. 4d., which, with balance from
last account, gives a credit of 1,8971.45. ld. A dividend

Coombe Valley Slate Company audited their accounts
on the 27th of August, showing their assets in slate,
calls unpaid, and cash at banker's, at 4781. 181. 11d.
For the more efficiently carrying on the works, an issue
of 500 new shares was resolved on, at 31. 10s. per
share.
At Craddock Moor meeting, for May and June, a
call of 10s. per share was made, fur further operations
and discharging the balance against the company
(241, ls. 7d.)-the principal operations being confined to
the sinking a new shaft from the surface, which is now
down seven or eight fathoms between Dunstan and
Vivian's lodes. Several veins, or branches, impregnated
with ore, have been intersected, underlaying towards
Vivian's lode.
At the Gonomena meeting, a balance of 761. 13s. 2d.
was found in favour of the adventurers. The mine is
represented to be in an improving position. In the 60,
or Gilpin's, the lode is producing 2i tons of ore per
fathom, and about 15 tons of ore have been broken from
the north lode. Other operations are being carried on,
with a view of bringing some important points into effi-
cient working order.
At Wheal Mary Consols meeting, it was resolved to
discontinue further operations, and a committee was
formed, for the purpose of disposing of the mines and
material-a loss of 9371. 11s. sd. having been sustained
since the account meeting in March last.
At the Calstock meeting the accounts showed the
entire costs from the commencement to have been
2,2631. 14s. Bd., leaving a balance against the mine of

4,3031, 134. sd.
At the Holn3bush special meeting, it was resolved to
adopt the recommendation in Captain Lean's report,
which will be found in another column. These recom-
mendations are to further explore the Flan jack lode in
the 100, and to cut it in the 110 and 120 fm. levels,
which is estimated to cost 5001. per month ; but great
expectations are entertained that a good proportion of
this will be covered by the ores raised, and the greatest
loss which can happen is known at the outset.
In the foreign share market there has been consider-
able transactions during the week. The advices from
most of the Brazilian pines, received on the sth, are of
the highest importance, and have created a demand, es-
