MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)

Although the share market has not been baslc during
the week, we find that an average amount of business
has been transacted.

From a reported improvement in West Seton, an in•
quiry for shares has taken place. Botallack, West Tol.
gus, Trelawny, and Mary Ann have been in requests
and there has been a tolerable demand for dividend-pay.

ing mines.
Devon Great Consols have been much inquired for
during the week; but we are not advised of many trans-
actions at the present advanced price.
At the Trelawny quarterly account, a dividend of
1,5001. was declared, being 61. per, share for the months
of December, January, and February, carrying a balance
of 957/. 4s. sd. to credit of next account. There were
417 tons 2 cwt. 2 qrs. of silver-lead Ores sold, realising
6,419/. 2s. 6d. The prospects of the mine continue
highly satisfactory, the ends and stopes being equally
productive as represented at the last meeting.
At Wheal Mary Ann account meeting, for the quarter
ending February, the financial statement showed a profit
of 1,7281. 15s. 10d., and a dividend of 31. per share was
declared, leaving a balance of 5701. 14s. Gd. to credit of
next account, being an excess of 1921. 15s. 10d. over the
last balance. The mine is in a very improved and pros-
perous position.
At a general meeting of St. Aubyn and Grylls Com-
pany, the accounts from the commencement of operations
were audited, and balance of 1161. is. found against the
company. A call of 30s. per share was deemed neces-
sary. The agent's report was read, showing the extent
of operations which bad been performed, and giving
great encouragement as to future results.
At a meeting of adventurers in the Consolidated
Mines, held at the account-house on Wednesday last,
the accounts were produced, showing—Balance last ac-
count, 8111. 15s. Bd.; ores sold (less dues), 6,664/. 18s.
6d0t=7,456/. 14s. 2d.—To costs and merchants' bills, for
March and April, 6,6191. 6s. 1 ld.—leaving balance in
favour of adventurers, 837/. 7s. 3d.
At Bwlch Consols bi-monthly meeting, the final call
of 21. per share on the new shares was- made. The mine
is in a productive position, and promises well for an in-
crease in returns.

At the Alfred Consols meeting, the accounts showed
that copper ore had been sold in two months, 7231.45.
2d.—giving a profit of 31. 14s. Id., and leaving a ba-
lance in hand of 171. 18s. lid.

At the Bryn-arian meeting 'the Recounts showed a
balance in favour of adventurers,. 2661.-ss. 9d. The re-
port was encouraging; the lode in the engine-shaft 7 ft.
wide-3 ft. of which good mixture of ore. It w►as in-
tended to cleanup the old Pensarn workings, where it
is said large deposits were left by the old men 90 years
since, in consequence of the water.
At a meeting of adventurers in Wheal Comfort, held
at Wheal Buller account•house, the accounts were pro-
duced, showing—Balance from last account, 2491. ss. Id.;
ores sold (less dues), 1,0971. 10s. 10d.=1,346/. 15s. 11d.
—To costs and merchants' bills for February and March,
8801. 14s. 6d.—leaving balance in favour of adventurers,
4661. Is. sd.

At a general meeting of shareholders in Wheel Cre-
bor, held on Thursday, a very favourable report on the
property, by Mr. Arthur Dean, C.E., was read, which
gave great satisfaction to all present. Mr. Dean ex-
presses his confidence that 1,000/. judiciously expended
in exploration will lead to "very important results," and
may, .‘ if his anticipations are realised," place the mine
in more than a self.supporting state.
We understand the lode cut 34 fins, below the edit in
West Tolgus improves every day. The last advices stated
its produce at tons of good ore per fathom.
We learn that all the shares in Roche Rock Tin Mine
have been subscribed for, and, from present prospects,
they are likely to realise a premium, which, indeed is
already demanded.

Shares in the following mines have changed hands
during the week:—Devon Great Consols, South Tolgus,
Treviskey and Barrier, Trelawny, Trehane, Tincroft,
Ileignston Down, Alfred Consols, Drake Walls, South
Plain Wood, Mary Ann, Grambler and St. Aubyn,
West Tolgus, Kirkcudbright, Pendarves, Esgair Llee,

Providence, Penzance Consols, Wheal Sarah, Wheal
Vincent, Lamerooe Wheal Maria, East Buller, Tre-
leigh Consols, Bedford, South Tamar, &c.
The inquiry for shares in foreign mines has been
rather limited, and but little business transacted.
United Mexican, Cobre, Santiago, and Linares have
been done, and a few bargains in St. John del Rey, Co-
paipo, Imperial and National Brazilian, the Barossa
Range, and Australian.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)

ing corps are under orders to proceed, in the course of
the summer, from England to Ireland, viz , the 17th
Regiment from Weedon, the 14th from Preston, and the
62d from Liverpool; and the following regiments from
Ireland to England:—The 85th Light Infantry, and the

about to proceed to Halifax, whither all letters for the
flag-ship should now be addressed.
EAST INDIA COMPANY'S INVALIDS AND RECRUITS.—

It is rumoured that an unusual number, not less than
1,000, invalids are expected home from India in the
course of the ensuing year. As a consequence, the re-
cruiting for the East India Company's service will be
carried on for the next few months with increased acti-
vity, there being at present more than the usual demand
for recruits.

The East India Company have paid into the Bank of
England the sum of 2,7881. to the credit of the represen-
tatives of the late Lord Keane, being the amount of the
one-eighth of the Ghuznee prize money reserved for final
appropriation by the Government.
BARRACK DEPARTMENT.—Captain Roy, late 71st
Light Infantry, has been appointed Barrack-master at
Tralee, vice Captain Wall, deceased; and Captain Gor-
don, now Barrack-master at Port Antonio, Jamaica, is
to succeed Captain Roy as Barrack-master at Tullamore.
We understand that the depots now stationed at Park-
hurst Barracks, Isle of Wight, will shortly be removed
to Chatham, the staff of the depot battalion being at the
same time abolished.
Wo are glad in being able to announce that Captain
Mackenzie, 92d Highlanders, Deputy Assistant Adju-
tant-General in 'Dublin, is recovering from the injuries

his horse rolled over him no fracture of a limb took place.

wearing their summer trousers on Wednesday last.
I THE CONMAND•IN-CHIEF AT DETONPORT.—A re-
port is afloat that there is a probability cf Admiral Sir
John A. Ommaney going to Devonport as Commander-
in-Chief. We can only say that we have never heard
such a rumour whispered. Sir W. Gage, we believe, is
in very good health, and is a most efficient officer, be-
loved and respected by all, and is very likely to remain
at Devonport until April, 1851, when it is wore gene-
rally believed Sir 'William Parker will succeed him.
