MINING INTELLIGENCE;

MONDAY EVENING.--The market has shown great
activity to-day, and transactions have taken place in
Alfred Consols, Merilyn, Treviskey, Mary ADD, Tr.-
velyan, and Penralt.
The market for Californian gold shares was quiet,
with little change in quotations, prices being generally
fairly supported. West Mariposas were done at one
time at par, but left off 3.16 to 1-16 din.; Agues Fria
ruled at 1 5.16 to 1 7-16 prem.; Nouveau Monde, j to i•
prem.; Golden Mountain, to :prem.; Ave Maria,
die. to par; Anglo Californian, Ito prem.
With the receipt of filler intelligence from California
relative to the want which is felt of adequate machinery
for the crushing of the quartz, more interest is now felt
in the proposal of some of the companies to use the
means which will be at their disposal In the prosecution
of this branch of business alone, should no favour-
able induCements be held out for the commence-
ment of actual, mining operations. Of the suc-
cess which is to be expected as attendant
upon such a course of operation, we have an illustration
in the arrangement made by Sir Henry Huntley on ac-
count of the Anglo-Californian Company, by which he
engages to crush the quartz, and rewire one-half the
nett produce in return. Apprehensions are felt by seine
that with the great increase of mills and machinery re-
ported as taking place in the auriferous districts, the
profits from quartz crushing will be much diminished,
owing to the competition thus induced; but the objection
appears entitled to little weight, as even in such an even-
tuality a quarter of the nett yield would afford a large
dividend; and then, again, the attention of the local
management would doubtless be turned to mining, which
in such a case would become the more profitable pursuit.
One important element of success possessed by the Cali-
fornian companies must not be overlooked: "many fail
of success" state our advices "from the want of practi-
cal experience in this mode of mining;" this being a
pursuit in which the advantages of capital are moat sen-
sibly felt.
The Anglo Californian Gold Mining Company
.have
given the usual notice in the London Gazette of their in-
tention to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament'for
an Act of Incorporation for the company.
Besides the demand arising from the Californian and
Austrian gold mining schemes, the development of the
Australian copper mines has been taken in hand by in-
fluential parties, who have decided upon raising capital
to the:extent of 350,0001. •

CLARA HARRINGTON.—A new novel has just ap-
peared under the title of " Clara Harrington," which is likely
to excite considerable attention in fashionable circles. The
hero, who is a nobleman, has entered into a clandestine mar-
riage with an accomplished young actress, though already
wedded to a lady of rank. The embarrassments arising out
orauch a position to all parties involved in it, are said to
produce' a deep interest in the reader, and tbis is much
heightened by the prevailing belief that the characters and
chief features of the story, which are drawn with great clever-
neap, are taken from an incident in the history of a celebrated
family that created considerable notoriety some years ago.—
