At the Wheal Vincent mee'nz.; it was r.-s lveri that a
call of 2s. 6d. per share should h,: so,.de, sod se-p,i kr n
to obtain the payment of calls in arrest-. Mr. Murray
gave a very favourable account of the capabilities of the
mine, and stated that two tons of tin ere could be raised
from the new :haft per month, with a gocd pr,,fit to the
ad venturers.
At Wheal Trefusis meetin;, the accounts presented
nd,passed showed a balance against the adventurers of
1101. 17s. 2d.; the debits, inclusive of the telance against
the mine at the end of August, merchants' bills, &c.,
were 6921. 4s. 10d. The sum collected on last call was
5044; tinstuff sold, 771. 7s. 81.-leaving the balance as
stated. A call of 102. per share was made. The retort
on the mine was of a satisfactory chat acter.
At the meeting of the Rhoswydol and Bachieddon ad-
venturers the accounts showed-Mine cost for October,
1491. 88. Bd.; Nov. 1521. 75. 61.; balance due on previous
account, 4751. 10s. Bd.r-----7771, 6s. 10d.-Cash received on
last call, 210/. 65.; ores sold, 1261. 15s. 10d.-leaving
balance, 440/. 58.; which will be reduced by procerds
from lead just sold 774 165., and arrears on calls
1431. 178., to 2181. 12s. A call of 2s. per share was
made. The report from Captain Edward Davies, after
detailing the operations in progress at the mine, stated
that " the composition of the lode in Prosser's level has
entirely changed during the past two months. The last
cross-cut in the end of the level has intersected the com-
mencement of a course of orey ground ; the lode is 10 ft.
wide, from north to south walls, and is subdivided by two
branches or joints, which form the lode into three divi-
sions ; the central division is 5 feet wide, composed of
capel, quartz, blende, and lead ore, the blende being in
large solid masses, and the had from minute strings and
spots up to lumps nearly 3 lbs. weight. On the
north aide of the middle portion of the lode there is a
great ' loch,' or vugh, filled with a goasany matter,
chiefly oxide of iron, each aide of this loch having an
incrustation of crystallised quartz. Evidently some
mighty process is, or has been, going on in this one of
nature's laboratories, and it is hoped that it will prove
to be the mineralisation of the lode." At the end of
October they shipped 6 tons 13 cwt. of lead, per the
Sluice, and have now about 5 tons dressed. If the
weather continue open, they will dress from 8 to 10 tons
this month. The cost for December will be from 1201.
to 1301., and which, it is expected, there will be sufficient
lead dressed to meet.

At the Dyfngwm Mining Company's meeting, on
Wednesday, the report of the resident captain, with a
supplemental statement, and the accounts, were read.
The present account showed receipts and expenditure
for the past four months, the agent having neglected
to forward the accounts in due time for the pre-
vious meeting. From those then submitted, it appeared
, that, during the past four months, the ores sold amounted
to 1181. 4s. 9d.; in addition to which, the amount re-
ceived for calls was 663/. 75.=7811. 11s. 91; while the
cost for the months ending Nov. amounted to 7141. 3s.
Bd., and sundry payments, 23/. I Is. 10d.; in all 7371.
15s. 61, which, added to the balance due on the former
account of 239/. 12s. Id., gave a total of 9771. 7s. 7d ,
thus leaving a ba ante of 1951. 158.10 d., carried forward
against the mine. The amount cf calls in arrear was
stated to be 311. 165., and the assumed return from sale
of ore, not included in the account, 634
At the 'i'relusback meeting, the accounts for Sept. and
Oat. showed-Balance from last account, 1,057/. Os. Bd.;
costs and merchants' bills, 539/. 18s. 7d.eed,596/. 19s.
3d. By call in October, 1,0241., leaving balance against
the adventurers, 572/. 19s. 3d.
At Pendarves Consols meeting, the accounts showed
a balance against adventurers of 312/. as. 7d., on the
operations of the preceding three months. The cost up
to the end of Sept., including merchants' bills due, was
7931. 16s. 10d.; to which add balance at last account,
7531. 7s. 61-By cash on calls and ores sold,
1,2351.05.9 d.; leevreg balance as stated, in liquidation of
which a call of 10s. per share as made. The report of
Messrs. Riebards and Themes, read at the meeting, con-
tains no feature of peculiar interest.
At the South Tamar Consols two-monthly meeting,
the account shooed-Mine cost for September,
6361. 7s. 11d.; o..tober, 6341. 15s. 9d.; discount, 5/. 155.8 d.
=1,276/. 19; 4d. By amount received in cash, and bill
for ores sold, inclusive of balance of last account,
2,262/. 15s. 81.; leaving balance in favour of mine,
9851. 168. 4d. The balance of assets over
liabilities is 1,4561. 13s. Id. The estimated payments
before the next meeting are 1,479/. 3s. 3d.; and the value
of ores to be sold this month is calculated at 1,3001.
no accounts were passed. Two reports, from the ma-
naging agent, were read, stating that there is a great
improvement in the 30 stn. level-the lode in the bottom
being worth 20 to 25 cwts. of rich ore for silver. About
91) tons of ore will be supplied shortly.
At the East Tamar meeting, the statement of accounts
showed-Expenditure for the last two months, 1,1751.
17s. 91; by balance of last account, 483/. Bs. Id.; cash
on account of call, 666/. 10s.-leaving balance against
adventurers, 55/. 19s. 83. The estimated liabilities, in-
cluding payments for the next two months, amount to
1,467/. 18s. 4d.; while the estimated receipts during that
period arc 2,9841. 193. lid.; leaving balance of assets
over liabilities, 1,517/. Is. 7d. Reports from Mr. J.
Wolferstan were read to the meeting, in which a gradual
improvement of the lode at the 70 fathom level is no-
ticed; the other ends, and all the pitches being as pro-
ductive as before, while there is a prospect of an in-
creasd quantity of ore, estimated at 70 tons, for the next
tampling.

The report read at the first West Providenoe meeting
from the purser states that the steam-engine and pump-
ing machinery are in course of construction. It is ex-
pctcd that a quantity of silver-lead ore can be brought
to surface when the war has been forked, and the indi-
cations generally are highly favourable for the prospects
of the shareholders.

The accounts presented at the Gustavus meeting
showed a loss on the three months' operations to end of
September of 1,272/. 15s. Bd. The labour cost and mer-
chants' bills were 1,380/. Iss. 3d.; balance of last ac-
count, 4071. Os. 5d.----1,7871. 15s. Bd. By cash on call,
with materials sold, 5151.: leaving balance as above. It
was resolved that a call be made pro rata in liquidation
of the amount. In the report of Messrs. Richards and
Dunkin the heavy balance against the adventurers is
accounted for by the cost incurred in repairs of engine
and other necessary expenses, which for the next twelve
months will, it is estimated, be comparotively light. In
other respects the report is satisfactory.
At Trowan Consols meeting, the accounts for July,
Aug., and Sept. showed—By ores sold (less dues), 390/.
12s. 5d ; call in Aug. 751. 10s. = 466/. 2s. sd. Balance
from last account, 841. 9s. 6d.; costs and merchants'
bills, 3751. 33. 459/. 13s. Id.; leaving balance,
6/. 9s. 41

At Chyprase Consols meeting, a series of resolutions
was agreed to relative to the management of the mice,
of which Capt. J. Mitchell was appointed agent—a com-
mittee was &so chosen. The report detailed the work-
ings since the commencement, stating that the engine-
shaft is now down 20 feet, and the sinking is still in
progress, measures being in preparation for draining the
mine. Capt. Mitchell states that " a more productive
stratum of ground far mineral wealth he never met with,"
and sanguine expectations of success are entertained

when the lodes are cut in the 20 fin. level. A purser
and trustees were likewise appointed.

PENNY BANKS.—These admirable institutions have
already taken firm root in the metropolis, and are fast ex-
tending over the country. We regard them as schools, in
which the peop!e ate taught the best practical lessons of fore-
thought and economy. They are the schools of temperance
also, tor most of what is deposited there is rescued from the
beershop. In Whitechapel, 8,000 depositors have presented
themselves in less than nine months; and their united accu-
mulations amounted in that time to about 2,0001., or an ave•
rage of ss. to each depositor. A small sum, truly; but, re-
member, it is only a beginning. The man who has once
learnt to practise self-denial, and to economize, will be en.
conraged to proceed, by the grateful feeling of satisfaction
which it invariably yields. He will go forward, and his
strength will grow. Every man will act in his sphere as a
missionary of providence. Habits of forethought will thus
extend through society, and all classes will, in course of time,
experience its blessings and benefits.—Eliza Cook's Jour:sal,
