MINING COMPANIES.

According to the latest report of the Imperial Brazi-
lian Mining Association, the directors will shortly have
acquired possession of another mining property, which
it is expected may be profitably worked. The total re-
ceipts from the six months' operations leavo a consider•
able deficit when compared with the expenditure during
the same period. A general statement of the position
of the company, however, shows an excess of assets
over liabilities to the extent of 35,9001. 103._ _ _ .

At the recent meeting of adventurers in the West
Caradon Mining Company, the accounts presented were
exceedingly satisfactory. The amount received on the
sale of copper ores was 4,907/. 3s. 3d.; materials,
321. 9s. 10d.; balance of last account, 2,557/ 14s. 2d.;
making a total of 7,4971. 7s. 3d. The cost of labour for
July and August was-2,795/. 7s. 101; materials,
1,1481. 15s. 11d.; lord's dues, 3031. 17s. 6d.; dividend,
61. 103. per share-1,6641.; leaving a balance in the
hands of the purser of 1,5851. 6s. The directors of the
West Wheal Michell Mining Company have obtained
possession of a " sett" on Rough Tor Moor, an interest
in which has been offered to the shareholders of the
company in proportion to the stock they now bold.
The adventurers in the East Wheal Rose Mine are
about to receive a dividend of 201. per share, which

On Sunday morning a sermon was preached before
the Lord Mayor of London, Sheriff Kinnard, Lord
Dudley Stuart, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Mr.
Pritchard, High Bailiff of Southwark, by the Bishop
of London, in aid of the funds fur the support
of the parochial national schools of the district. The
church, which is calculatcd to accommodate upwards of
2,000 persons, was completely filled upon the occasion.
The appeal of the Bishop was liberally responded to,
and a collection, amounting to 551., was the result. A
sermon was also preached in the evening, by the Rev.
Mr. Herbert Seymour, M.A., formerly evening lecturer
at St. George's Church, Southwark, and after a most
earnest appeal in aid of the funds for supporting the
schools of this most populous and distressed district, an
additional sum of 411. was liberally contributed. Up-
wards of 2,000 persons were also present on the latter
oecaina.
