MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the,Mining Journal of this day.)
The mining share market has not been so brisk this
week as wo have had it for some time past, although
several shares in our leading mines have changed hands.
The advices received from the great mining districts
of Cornwall and Devon are generally of a gratifying
character—the miner, on the who!e, looking remarkably

There are several new adventures, which have recently
been brought before the public, which appear to corn-
Ingrid some attention from the parties who have not be-
fore been much engaged in mining matters; and, from
the highly-coloured reports produced, we fear aro apt to
captivate the inexperienced. We would not venture an
opinion on their assumed merits, but recommend the
public generally to be satisfied of the correctness of the
representations made before they become involved.
At the Wheal Trehane hi-monthly meeting, the ac-
counts produced showed a balance of 5921. 13s. 7d. in
favour cf the adventurers, and a dividend of 11. per
share was declared, which will leave a balance of 3361.

13'. 7d. in hand. The balance is lessened, in conse-
quence of the payment of 3001. on account rf new engine
and crusher. There has been a slight falling off in her
returns, but the agent's report is rather encouraging
than otherwise. Eighty-fire tons were to be sampled
this week.

At a special general meeting of the shareholders in
East Birch Tor, the report of Captain Carthew was read,
and considered highly satisfactory, and power given to
the directors to carry out his recommendations, by rais-
ing the necessary capital, according to their discretion.
At the Wheal Bawden hi-monthly account, a call cf
is. per share was made for the further prosecution cf the
works. The balance in hand is 8/. 17e.

At a matting of adventurers in East Pool, held on the
16th instant, the accounts for February and March were
presented, showing—Balance from last account, 5921.

At the annual meeting of the Deep River Company,
in consequence of the non-attendance of a sufficient
number of adventurers to constitute a meeting, it was
adjourned until the agent returned to England, who
has received instructions to dispose of the property, and
abandon the adventure.
fEShares is the following Mines have changed hands
during the week :—Devon Great Consols, East Wheal
Rose, North Pool, South Basset, South Francis, Stray
Park, North iloskoar, Alfred Consols, Trelewny, Tre-
hane, Mary Ann, Wheel Treville, Bedford United, East
and South Tamar, Grambler, Tavy Consols, West
Tolgus, Telant, Treviskey, Tincroft, Wheal Languitad,
West Caradon, Penzance Consols, Wheal Tremayne,
Condurrow, East Gunnis Lake unction, Heignston
Down Consols, Tolcarne, East Buller, Cook's Kitchen,
Runnaford Coombe, &c.
In Foreign Mines the shires chi, fly dealt in have been
St. John del Rey, Imyerial Brazilian, United Mexi-
can, Copiape, Linares, Barossa Range, and National
Brazilian.
The Alten Mines report, from the 19th Feb. to 22d
March, has been received. The estimated produce for
February is given at 124 tons; and although the produce
for the fast month has fallen short of the average re-
turns. arising from the fluctuation in the several lodes,
and the severity of the season, it is expected, from the
improvements that have taken place, that the deficiency
will be made up during the next montb.
The Linares weekly report confirms the last advice,
that they bad cleared the mine to new ground; and that
the lode in the shaft, which is in course of sinking, is
worth 6 tons of lead per fm.; and the prospects brighten
as they proceed. Arrangements are being made for
sending 100 tons and upwards to Seville, for transmis-
sion to England.

AN EFFECT or WAR.—The Cologne Gazette an-
nounces that the manufacturing firm of Grunion, of Elbing,
which employs mere than 1,000 workmen, had been obliged
to suspend payment. The liabilities exceed 1,000,000 thalers,
but the creditors had accorded six months' tune, and the
authorities of the town bad solicited an advance from the
Government. The failure is stated to be one of the conse-
quences of the war with Denmark. At Memel, also, houses
engaged in the timber trade have greatly suffered from the
same cause.—Liverpool Times.
