At the meeting of Keswick adventurers, a proposition
was made that, in consequence of greater power being
requisite to keep the water, the directors were em-
powered to adopt such measures as they deemed prudent,
after an inspection by a competent person. By the
agent's report, we find that the bunches of ore in the
shallow levels appear to hold down, and fully warrant
the carrying out of the above resolution to effectually de-
velope this important sett.
At the meeting of Exmoor Wheal Eliza, a call cf 303.
per share was made.
At the Craig Ddu Slate Quarry meeting, it appeared
that large sums had been expended during the past year
in extending the quarry. A tramway, 543 feet long, had
been constructed, and another excavatec 650 feet up the
mountain, and there was every reason to hope that the
capabilities of the quarry would be fully developed.
At the Camborne Console meeting, resolutions were
passed, confirming the payments made by, and allow-
ances to, the directors. Reports from Captain Matthew
Francis and Mr. Daniell were read, which were highly
satisfactory, as to the state and prospects of the mine.

At the Lamherooe meeting, the accounts showed a
balance against the mine of 451. 13s. 6d., but consider-
able improvement bad taken place in the lodes, and the
shareholders were highly gratified at their improved
prospects. A second instalment of 10s. on the call of 21.
was made.

We understand that the sampling at Wheal Treasury
in the course of the present week will be above 190
tons.

Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week:—Devon Great Consols, Treviskey and
Barrier, South Tolgus, South Frances, Tincr oft,
West Buller, Mary Ann, Trelawny, Coadurrow, Wheal
Franco,, South Plain Wood, Moditonbam, Penzance

Kingsett and Bedford, Cook's Kitchen, Grambler and
St. Aubyn, Rocks, Providence Mines, Trebane, West
Treasury, Alfred Consols, and Drake Walls.
In Foreign Mines. we find that the business done has
been chiefly in Imperial Brazilian, Linares, Santiago,

have taken place in Copiapo, St. John del Rey, and
Worthing.

THE FEVER ON THE SOUTH-EAST COAST OF AME-
RICA STATION.—Our private correspondent from Rio,
April 4, states that the fatality and virulence of the
fever had created some degree of excitement. Her
Majesty's ship Tweed had lost three midshipmen and
her boatswain ; her Majesty's steam; sloop Cormo-
rant had lost one midshipman ; the flag-ship South-
ampton was about to proceed to sea for a few weeks,
to avoid contagion. Of the French expedition to
the River Plate, one steamer and two brigs had ar-
rived at Rio.

THE LISBON SQUADRON.—Commodore Martin re-
ceived positive orders by the Peninsular packet not to
leave Lisbon for his Madeira cruise, but to remain in
the Tagus, within two days' call of the Admiralty,
ready to proceed to any destination at an hour's notice.
The finest feeling prevailed throughout this fine squa-
dron, and nothing could be more accept ible than
rough cruising and hard knocks.
