At the Wheal Catherine meeting, the accounts from
August, 1846, to July, 1847, were balanced, and 1341.
84. found due to the purser. A call of 245. per share
was made.
At the Wheal Basset meeting, the statements repre-
sented the profits for Jan. and Feb. to be 400/., which,
with the former balance, 4201. 13s. 11d., was carried to
credit of nest account.
At the Runnaford Coombe meeting the finances were
represented in a favourable position. The agent's report
is very satisfactory, and arrangements for vigorous
operations are being made for more complete develop-
ment.
' At the South Wheal Trelawcy meeting a call of 2/.
per share was made. The reports of Captains Bryant,
Dunstan, and Lean, recommending the only hope of
satisfactory results—to sink the engine-shaft 20 fathoms
deeper, were adopted.
At the West Wheal Treasury meeting, from the state-
ment of accounts, it appeared a loss of 411. 7s. Id. was
sustained during December and January. The agent's
report, however, is encouraging—anticipating early im-
provemenis from present appearances.
At the Pennant and Craigwen meeting the result was
highly satisfactory, and there is now little doubt that,
after the long delay, through the perseverance evinced,
the mines will shortly prove highly remunerative. We
were pleased to find the meeting so numerously attended,
upwads of 6,000 shares being represented, or nearly seven-
eighths of the entire body of shareholders.
At the meeting of the Company of Copper Miners in
England, on Wednesday last, a protracted and some-
what noisy discussion took place; the report was at
length received, and it is hoped a plan will shortly be
successfully arranged for a complete resuscitation of the
company.
At the Lamherooe meeting, on Thursday, the accounts
showed a balance in hand of 598/. up to the end of Ja-
nuary; 85 shares wcre forfeited, and a call of 11. was
made.

At the Comblawn meeting, on Tuesday last, the ac
counts showed a balance against the mine of 181. 2s. 7d.,
and a call of 2/. per share was made.
In foreign mines, the prinlipal transactions appear to
have been in United Mexican, St. John del Rey, Aus-
tralian, C..paipo, Guadalcanal, Lenares, and Barossa
Range, and the North British Australasian.
Dispatches have been received by the St. John del
Rey, United Mexican, and the Bolaaos Mining Com-
panies.

The St. John del Rey letters are highly satisfactory,
which are dated to the 18th January, representing the
profits for December to be 3,9381. 133. 2d.
The United Mexican advices are to the 9th February.
The Santo Toribio Mine is represented to have im-
proved generally, and the remittance of 30,000 dollars,
advised in the lust report, has been received.
The Bolanos advices are down to the sth February;
but they do not contain any matter of importance. The
mines, at present, are far from being productive. At El
Dote Mine the erection of the engine, and other requi-
sites, were progressing satisfactorily.
About one ton of rich copper ore was found on the
surface upon a portion of the Bon Accord property, ad-
joining Burra liurra. This section of land was pur-
chased by the Scottish Australian Investment Company,
who have let one-third to the North British Australasian
Company, and another portion to Mr. Rankin, reserving
the remainder themselves, and which property, we un-
derstand, is about being developed.
Since our last, we have received the report of Burra
Burrs half-yearly meeting, held in the colony since Oc-
tober last. The financial statement shows a profit of
69,9561. 9s. 7d. during eleven months, and dividends to
the amount of 61,6001. paid to the Ist March ; seven di-
vidends had bet:n paid, amounting to 123,0001. The di-
rectors' report refers to a valuable discovery having been
made subsequent to the previous meeting, which will
give greater permanency to the mine.
