MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The important event of the week is the establishment,
on a basis likely to prove permanent, of a Mining Ex-
change, independent of the Stock Exchange, and to
which the members of the latter body can only have ac-
cess by the ministration of the former. Transactions in-
Mining Shares began in this new locality on the 7th
instant, and daily a large amount of business has been
done, comprehending, however, only the superior class
of mines, whether dividend or prospective. A conserva-
tive power, should the objects contemplated by the new
establishment be fully carried out in practice,
will now
be exercised over all really valuable mining property,, to
the discomfiture of mere sehemes, by whomsoever in-
troduced to public notice. Some brilliant discoveries of
mineral wealth have taken place in the eastern mining
districts, of which full particulars will be gained by an
attentive perusal of our columns. A remarkable in-
stance of mining success may be stated in the West
Buller Shares, for which, with 101. only paid, 1,2001. per
share had been offered and refused.
In the metal market, English tin is very quiet, and
foreign greatly depressed. A good business doing in
copper. Lead is active, and a parcel of hard Spanish
has been sold to arrive. Spelter is very dull, and prices
merely nominal. Yellow metal sheathing is in request,
and a fair demand for American flange rails.
The amount of dividends paid in the first quarter of
this year, ending March, as well as the calls made for
the same period, are respectively—
Dividends. Calls.
January ...... £24,981 0 0 £21,507 16 7
February...... 13,827 0 0
March ....... 32,934 10 0

£71,762 10 0 £62,866 12 7
The ticketings for 100 tons of Lasey lead,•re fluctuated
from 181. 7s. 6d. by Thomas Somers, of Bristol, to
201. 10s. 6d. per ton, by J. H. Meredith, of the Fowey
Consols Mines.
The Keswick Mines sold 15 tons of lead ore at 11/.
per ton, and 4 tons at 10/. ss. per ton.
Herodstoot sold 80 tons, at 12/. 18s. per ton.
A parcel,of tin from the Great Beam Mine realised
4211. Is. 7d. _ _ _

The Llwynmalees Mine has sold 30 tons of lead ore to
Messrs. Walker, Parker, and Co., at 121 15s. per ton.
Nanteos Mine sampled, on the 7th inst. 45 tons of
lead ore.
Tama: Mine sampled, on sth inst., computed 96 tons
silver-lead ore.
A considerable improvement is apparent in the report
from Holmbush Mine; the levels are evidently looking
better than for some time past.
Of the new mines recently brought before the public,
and commanding good premiums, are the Kenmare and
West of Ireland, and the Hetston Consols, Cornwall.
At Cern Brea Mines, in the 10 fathom level, east
from Miner's shaft, at Burncoose, a course of copper has
been cut worth 301. per fm.
At Wheal Agar, they are reported to have a course of
ore worth about 601. per fathom.
We find we understand the amount of dividends made
at North Pool (an error at all times on the right side);
this arose from our not being in possession of the divi-
dend account for 1848—viz.: 1151. per 100th share,
11,5001.; which being added to our statement of 2751.
per share, 27,5004; makes 39,0001., the real amount
divided.

Lewis Mines continue to progress most favourably ;
the prooeeds of black tin from Ist May, 1850, to end
Jan. 1851, amounted to 14,104/. 18s. 11d., being an
average price of 511. per ton; 23 tons 131 cwts. of
arsenic sold at 31. 10s., 821. 15s. = 14,187/ 13s. 11d.-
Costs from Ist May to end of Jan., 11,620/. 13s. 3d.;
directors for nine months, 1501. in management
and office expenses, 150/. ; balance of interest ac-
count, 801. 4s. 3d.; leaves a profit of 2,1861. 16s. 5d.,
from which were paid dividends 5001. on the 4th Dec.,
and 5001. on the 12th of Feb., which with 8281. 9s. 10d.
balance last account, leaves a cash balance in hand of
358/. 6s. 7d. They have recently discovered a copper
lode in the 20 fm. level, from which there are great ex-
pectations. The tin ground never looked better; they
expect to sample 30 tons..
At the Union Tin Smelting Company's meeting, on
Wednesday, the usual dividsnd, at the rate of 10 per
cant. per annum, was declared.
At the United Mines meeting, on the 4th instant, it
was resolved that the proposal made by Mr. Michael
Williams, respecting the purchase of shares at the price
of 801. each, should be lett to the decision of each indi-
vidual adventurer. Mr. Richard Taylor reported that
the mines were drained to the 208 fm. level, and work-
ings continued to this date, without any improvement in
the prospect of the mines.
At Wheal Prudence meeting, on the Ist instant, the
accounts showed-Balance of last account, 57/. 12s. Bd.;
Oct. cost, 23/. ss. Bd.; ditto Nov., 201. 10s. 101; Dec.,
311. 15s. 50. ; Jan., 19/. 103. 7d.; Feb., 291. 93. 3d.s.e.

to the purser, 541. 43. sd. A call of 12s. 6d. per share
was made.

At the East Wheal George meeting, on Tuesday, the
accounts for Feb. and March showed-Expenditure,
345/. 10s.-Copper ore sold, 4631. ss. Bd.; leaving profit
on the two months, 981. 15s. Bd.; add balance from last
account, 291. 103. 2d.; leaves to credit of company,
128/. ss. 101., besides about 50 tons of ore of good
quality on sur4ace, of which they hare sampled 24 tons
121 cwts. for March.
At Treleigh Consols meeting, on Monday, the finan-
cial statement showed a balance in hand of 6201. 14s. 5d.,
and also a balance of assets, after discharging all liabi-
lities, of 301/. 1 ls. 11d.
At a special general meeting of adventurers in Praed
Consols, un Monday, a call of 103. per share was made,
and it was the opinion of the meeting that an engine
should be shortly erected.
At Wheal Arthur meeting, on Thursday, the minutes
of the previous one were confirmed, and the report of
the committee submitted, which was received with much
satis action. A call of ss. per share was made.
At North Buller general meeting, on Thursday, the
report stated that the call in January last, and the
money previously in hand, amounted to 1,3091. 15s. 4d.,
and there had been expended 1,2811. ls. 2d., leaving a
balance in hand of 281. 14s. 2d. The committee recom-
mended a call of 11. per share, with which the under-
ground operations would be pushed on with the utmost
speed.
At Wheal Langford and Baring United Mines meet-
ing, on Thursday, the accounts showed-Balance in

Meetings have been held during the week for the ma-
turing the regulations of a Mining Exchange, at the Ja-
maica Coffee-house, when Messrs. Thomas Field, J. Y.
Watson, T. P. Thomas, H. B. Rye, and W. Trenery,
were nominated a provisional committee, Mr. James
Stride being honorary secretary. We are informed
that upwards of 20 agents have subscribed to the rules
and regulations.

ST. JAMES'S LITERARY AND

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.

A public meeting was held at Willis's Rooms, on
Wednesday evening, for the purpose of promoting the
establishment of an institution under the name of the
St. James's Literary and Scientific Society, which has
already received very influential support.
The Earl of CARLISLE, who occupied the chair, was
received with general applause. He said, I believe I
ought, in the first place, rather to account for
finding myself in this distinguished position,
as I do not make out that I have any very
peculiar title to it. All I can say upon that head, how-
ever, is that I was invited to take it by those whose in-
vitation I looked upon as an encouragement and almost
as a command.—(Cheers.) I feel, however, that I ought
to justify this act, both to you and to myself, and with
that view I must consider what is the nature of the
occasion which brings us together. And first, with re-
gard to the locality in which and for which it is
intended to found a literary institution. I find,
in the papers which have been put out, that
this locality is to comprise the parishes of St. James,
St. George, St. Martin, and St. Ann. I call them
parishes; but in point of extent, of wealth, and of im-
portance, they are, in fact, equivalent, each of them, to
many both ancient and modern capitals. Within their
precincts are the residences of a large proportion of those
who constitute the most wealthy, the most educated, and
Ithe moat powerful classes of what we may, without un-
pCraeinteenshitosnt pretension, call the foremost people of the world—
(Cheers)—the residences of statesmen and warriors,
whose lives make history ; of beauties, who, if we credit
history
dthuee
president y, often make a great deal of underhand
made him themselves; of authors, of whom I shall name
only one, because I think you have most wisely
—(Cheers.)
And,
t. of this institution—Mr. Macaulay.
be filling the place which
I feel that he ought now to
only thing that is
here is the hope that anyho compensation to his not being
not of acting but Writing
.—(hicathoerye, which bids fair to
ry.) These parishes
to which I have referred comprise, in fact, a main
portion of the business, the fashion, the govern-
ment,'
and the empire of this Country.
They abound
in all the pulses of our vast civilization. They are
filled with everything which can minister to the com-
fort, the Use, or the luxury of those who inhabit them
with houses more conspicuous, perhaps, for the complete-
ness of their internal arrangements than for their exterior
architecture (likely to be the case with nations who, as
ourselves, prefer luxurious privacy to outward show).—
with shops whose glittering varieties will, in any sea-
son, furnish in themselves an exhibition of the industry
of all nations—(Cheers)—with club-houses built upon the
scale and wi:h more than all the comforts of palaces.
And this brings me to the point to which I particularly
wish to call your attention. These club-houses, with
their l • rooms, are provided for
luxuries and their reading
the wealthy and easy classes of society; but we wish to
communicate and extend the same advantages, not to
tnose who are accommodated in spacious and luxurious
houses, not to those who are surrounded with all
the resources and
appliances of wealth, who may
('
have any number -f
newspapers on their breakfast
tables, or may send
to the wat bookseller or

the neat circulating library for any work or publication
they have a fancy to read, but to those who can only pro-
cure these advantages by steady and combined efforts—
advantages which the benefits of wealth make the ex-
clusive enjoyment of others.—(Cheers.) And I would
ask, is there nothing in the character of the population
of these parishes which makes it peculiarly fitting and
appropriate that such aids and appliances should be
afforded them, comprising, as they do, a very
great number of young men, some of them engaged in
those respectable and wealthy firms which have a
greater number of persons in their employment than the
feudal establishments of ancient barons, and a quantity
of most ingenious and intelligent artisans and mechanics,
who certainly are not debarred by any want of capacity
from almost any amount of mental cultivation ? Then
are there not peculiar dangers and temptations to which
people who constitute such classes are liable ? Now
I believe, gentlemen, that idleness is one of the most
trying, as well as the most irksome conditions to
which human nature is subject. Ambition, passion,
covetousness may lead to a thousand excesses, to a thou-
sand follies, to a thousand crimes; but, at least, they en-
gross and employ the faculties of the mind and of the
soul. But idleness is like that state of the garnished
house into which, being void of any tenant itself, all
other demons may enter and take up their abode there,
and make the state of that man worse than any of those
under their separate mastery. Now, Ido not want to
prescribe to you—l should be very ill-qualified and little
warranted to do so—what pursuits, what amusements
may be innocently and blamelessly pursued. But, as
to this, I think ail must agree with me that there are in
this overflowing town many facilities and temptations to
wrong about which there can be no dispute. There are
ale-houses and tavern-orgies, and more refined, perhaps,
but not less dangerous seductions, into which men
may fall, not from a deliberate purpose, not from
any practised depravity, but from the tedium of the
unemployed hours, and the void of the unoccupied
mind.—(Cheers.) And it is for this that we tender
that which will have a direct tendency to employ and to
interest the mind, and, at least, a possible tendency to
refine and to ennoble it. You will hear the exact details
and the precise plan of operation proposed, if there
shall be good will and energy here and in these pa-
rishes sufficient to justify the formation of such an
institution. You will hear the proposed details and
plan from those who have taken an active part in
setting on foot this laudable and public-spirited un-
dertaking. It is intended, if proper support shall
be afforded from without, to procure suitable premises—
a reading-room, where the best newspapers, reviews, and
other periodical publications will be taken in; a library,
for works of more bulk and more pretension ; a lec-
ture-room, where lectures upon proper subjects
will be delivered by approved and competent
lecturers—and as well as this, it is intended
to open classes for the different branches of
useful knowledge, such as drawing or chemistry, or
other pursuits which have a tendency to interest men
and to improve the stock of valuable knowledge. Now,
gentlemen, it has been said by a poet whom I should be
the lest to undervalue that "a little learning is a danger-
ous thing." Supposing this to be true, which I will not
stop here to discuss, what is the course which it
would indicate? Is it that we should have no learn-
ing at all? I think that would be a dangerous thing,
bat I know, and I am glad to know, that it
is an impossible thing. I believe there is no one
class in this country which will be content to
have it laid down that they seek not to have any learning
at all. I believe there is no class or society of men who
will put up with its being said to them—Learning is the
appurtenance of the wealthy and the high-born, of a titled
aristocracy, of privileged places of education; it may dwell
among the leafy bowers and quiet waters of the infant
Isis, but when those waters broaden into the life and
business of the imperial Thames, it must no longer
mix with the expanding stream; it may inhabit pale
cloisters, and feed the contemplation of robed doctors
and capped students, but it must not come into the cur-
rent of daily life, into oar marts of business, into our
streams of busy concourse. I believe, gentlemen, one
and all of you will put aside this ignorant policy,
and will assert that, as no longer is there any mo-
nopoly of the food of the body, so also no longer
shall there be any monopoly of the food of the mind.
—(Enthusiastic cheers.) If, then, a little learning
is a dangerous thing, and if no learning at all
is happily out of the question, then the only course of
feasibility and of safky before us seems to be, to take
the best means in our power to make that little learning
larger, and to see that the learning which is ignorant of
its own littleness, which is apt to be conceited and
puffed up and presuming, and therefore dangerous, be
taught, by timely and wholesome growth and educa-
tion, to supplement, and to steady, and to protect it-
self. I am sure that I need not remind an audience
so intelligent as this—remembering the class of
persons for whom this institution is proposed to be set
on foot—l need not remind them that not even any
amount of individual study or diligence can succeed in
making them all prodigies of learning or miracles of ge-
nius. If the poet Gray could have called from their turfy
heaps all the rude forefathers of the hamlet, he would not
have expected that they all could have. been set down by
him as a villa-se Hampden, a mute and inglorious Milton,
or a guiltless Cromwell. It will be, indeed, a proud dis-
tinetien for this proposed institution, if it should even
be the means of eliciting such an amount of genius as to
leave an impress on the literature and science of the
country, teach some new truth to philosophy, or add a
new string to its lyre.—(Cheers.) It is the more
limited object of our ambition to afford to all—es-
pecislly to those whose lives are engrossed with the
drudgery of labour, or distracted with the clatter of this
busy, heaving, steaming life around us—the means of
innocent recreation, of refined employment, of useful
and ennobling instructions.—(Loud cheers.) It is, as I
have already intimated, intended that in this institu-
tion encouragement and facility shall be given for the
ht bit of literary and scientific pursuits. Now, with
very little pretensions to hold forth upon either
science or literature—as to science, I feel I am not en-
titled to say a word; but adverting for a moment
merely to one which perhaps holds the noblest place in
the whole family of sciences—if Sir Henry de la Beche
will excuse me for what lam saying—with reference to
the noble science of astronomy, I cannot help quoting a
very brief extract from a statement, lately fallen under
my notice, and which seems to me to express most
forcibly, and in a popular manner, how the ascertained
truths of that science, so far transcending what could
be imagined or guessed at, have now become the
property of multitudes. This is the extract to which
I allude :—" Our own lunar satellite turns monthly on
its own axis, and revolves simultaneously round the
earth, and again sweeps with the earth in a vast
annual circle round the sun, and with the sun itself
careers with the whole stupendous solar system round
another prodigious stellar centre. Let us take the ex-
treme diameter of our planetary system and try to
form some notion of the distance represented by three
thousand millions of miles, and when we have
altogether failed, let us acknowledge, as
we must, that even this incomprehensible extension into
space is an inadequate unit of measurement for meeting
the stellar distances as we see them scattered about on
a fine evening like a careless profusion of gold dust on
the dark purple of the skies." Now by the side of this
transcendent revolution, I feel that human literature
must seem at first sight to pale its pretensions and to
droop its wings. But, as ever after the con-
templation of the loftiest architecture of the
heavens, or the most brilliant embroidery of the
earth, or the most solemn sublimities of the sea, still
upon the human eye and the human soul the form and
face of human beauty will exercise their most potent
witchery, so also the promptings of human emotion and
the utterances of human genius will ever strike home
to the heart of man.—(Cheers.) Perhaps some of you
may feel inblined to avail yourselves of the pro-
posed classes of language, and to master for
yourselves the abundant treasures of style, thought,
and fancy which the other nations of Europe have
amassed for themselves. But still, in our own Saxon
language, you will all be able to appropriate to your-
selves, to say nothing of our vigorous and noble
prose,
the universal and unparalleled opulence of Shakspere,
the sacred harmony of Milton, the gentle fancy of
Spenser, the nervous energy of? Dryden, the faultless
brilliancy of Pope, the eagle flight of Gray, the tender
flow of Goldsmith, the moral dignity of Cowper—not to
go lower in the list, because controversy may arise
with respect to more contemporary prepossessions.
Such, then, are the mere glimpses and dashes of the pur-
suits, whether scientific or literary, to which we will
often invite you. There are two points in connexion
with this institution which have mainly encouraged
and induced me to support it. One is—and if it were
otherwise I feel I must have kept quite clear of it—the
one is, that it lays down no exclusion in respect of
differences in religious connexion or opinion. The other
is, that I know it has engaged the sanction and active sup-
port of a minister of religion so exemplary and judicious
as the rector of the parish of St. James, and his agency
will be a guarantee that it will not be allowed to take
any improper or questionable direction. Now, gentle-.
men, having addressed a few words both to science and
to literature, I do not propose to give any to the support
of religion. These ,lips have no special privilege for so
high a theme. It is assuredly not because I undervalue
its importance, but as I should consider the religion
which will oppose or thwart the growth and diffusion
of science or of literature as traitorous to her
own claims and suicidal to her own existence, so by
watching, guarding, and directing their course, shel may
impart to each of them a portion of her own divinity;
and with the fervent hope that your proposed institution
will move steadily forward under the combined influence
of science, literature, and religion, I thank you for the
attention you have given me, and now, I confidently
leave the subject in your hands.—(The Noble Chairman
resumed his seat amidst the vehement cheers of the
assembly.)
Dr. LANKESTER read a report and the rules of the
proposed institution.
On the motion of Sir HENRY DE LA BECHE, it was
resolved to found the society, and, as a consequence,
other resolutions followed explanatory of its scope and
principles; after which the meeting separated.
