LOCAL MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining World.) ———♦ BRONFLOYD (16th March).—No. 3 shaft, north lode The part of the lode opened on by the 110 end, west from engine shaft, is composed of killas and spar intermixed with lead ore, equal in value to last report, ground favourable for progress. In stripping down the lode behind the 96 end, and to the west of Joshua's winze, the lode is yielding 1 ton of ore per cubic fm. Further east of ditto the men are still em- ployed in blasting down the sides to fill up same, in order to reach the ore ground, as stated in my last report, where the lode is worth 18 cwts. of ore per cubic fm. it will take until the end of the present month te get this stope into working order. The lode in the stope to the east from shaft over the 73 is worth about 18 cwts. of ore per cubic fm. No. 2 shaft, middle lode The part of the lode carried by the 52 end, west from Lloyd's cross-cut, is not look- ing so well. composed of killas intermixed with ore, present value from 8 to 10 cwts. per fm. the lode in the extreme point of this drivago is still presenting a good appcarancc, and no doubt it will soon improve. The lode in the 40 end, east from shaft, is princi- pally killas spotted with ore-ground favourable for opening. We sample to-day 26 tens of silver-lead ore, for sale on Thursday next, the 23t d. Hauling and dressing going on regularly.—J. KEMP. GROGWINION (17th March).-I have much plea- sure in beinjr able to inform you that No. 4 lode in the 12-fm. level has continued to open out very satisfac- torily during the last month, both in the end driving east of cross-cut, and in the winze sinking to the west of same, and should this lode continue to go down in whole ground (and J have not the least doubt, that it will), it cannot fail to add very materially to the value of the mine, as it can be reached by short-cuts from No. 3 lode at every level down to the deep adit. The ground already driven through will average at least 1 ton of Ipad ore to the fm. We have commenced to drive another cross-cut at the 24-fm. level for the purpose of intersecting the same lode that is in about 3 £ fms., an(j j hope to reach it in about 6 weeks from this timo. All the levels driving east of shaft from the 24 down to the 80, on No. 3 lode, are yielding good ore, and are opening out profitable stoping ground, and I have never seen the stopes in the various levels altogether looking so well. Since my last report, we have sold to Messrs. Neville, Druce and Company 70 tons of lead ore, at 151. 9s. per ton we shall sell a similar quantity on the 22nd inst; and after next month I have no fear of being able to increase to 100 tons monthly.—J. KITTO. MONYDD GORDDU (22nd March).—The main lode at the 12 east has greatly improved since my last Week's report. In the forebreast there is a fine look. ing lode, yielding good saving work for the crusher, and as we are entering the ore ground passed through in the adit, there is a. moral certainty of its becoming very productive. The south part of the main lode opening in the winze is worth 151. per fm. The stope over 12 on the south lode is worth 101. per fm. The engine shaft will be resumed forthwith and forced down to the 24 under adit as speedily as pos- sible. I am pleased to say the mine is looking better, and I can assure An Old Subscriber," and all others whom it may concern, that Monydd Gorddu is indeed full of promise, and if he will call on me I ■hall have pleasure in showing him through to see for himself.—R. HOWSE. PLYNLIMMON (22nd March).—Friday last being our pay and setting day the following bargains were let. The new shaft to sink below the 24-fm. level by 9 men, at 251. per fm. most of the old pare in this shaft havi ng left the mine, but little has been done since my last; to day I have been able to get a new lot of men and sinking will be resumed forthwith. The 24-fm. level to drive east of Hughes's winze by 6 men, at 8L 10s. per fm. We have got a borer hole through to the new winze at a reduction in price, in a lode worth Ii ton of lead ore per fm. To rise in roof of stope over 24 fm. level by 6 men, at 101. per fm. this rise wll be carried up from 8 ft. to 10 ft. Ion,, to prove this ground at present the produc- tive part of the lode is about 6ft. long, and is worth 2 ton-: of lead ore per fm., and will, I think, lengthen as the rise is carried up. A drift has been let to 4 men to drive west of Hughes's winze, at 61. 1 er fill. the lode is worth ton of lead ore per ftn., with "igng of an improvement. To t >pe the back of drift by 4 men, at 31. 10s. per fm. lode produces f ton of lead ore per fm. In drawing and dressing, owing to con- tinued severe weather, but little can be done" This month has been equally as severe as any month throughout the winter. The parcel of lead ore sold on the 7th inst., will be all down to Llanidloes and delivered to its buyer on Saturday next, and should a favourable change of weather set in soon we shall not be long in getting another parcel ready for sale. -J. GARLAND. RHEIDOL (18th March).-There is no material change to notice since my last report the part car- ried is composed of slate, spar, carbonate of lime. and strings of copper and lead ore. The lode ap- pears to come more together as the level is extended, and the ground is a little more favourable for driving. -J. RIDGE. SOUTH CWMYSTWYTH (23rd March).—The only change of any importance since the date of my last report has been an improvement in the great south lode, which has been hitherto known as the Great North Underlie lode. This has much improved in appearance, and may become productive at any time. We have also some saving stuff for lead in the winze sinking below the top level on No. 2 lode, and the north lode in which we are driving a. deep adit level west from the eastern part of the property, is also looking more kindly, but there is nothing else new to report from any other point of operation. Every- thing is progressing steadily, and, on the whole, in a. satisfactory manner, and our prospects for the future are gradually improving.—J. KITTO. SOUTH DARREN (20th March).-No lode has been taken down in the 90 end west since the last report we have about 3 ft. of the lode desued, and shall com- mence taking it down to-morrow, after which you shall be duly advised of its value—when last taken down it was valued at 351. per fm. The lode in the 80 west is improving as the end advances, now yield- ing strong branches of silver-lead ore a very pro- mising lode, and looks kindly for further improve- ment. The mine continues to produce the usual quantity of ore. All other parts are without change to notice. We are pushing on the work as fast as possible, but the weather of late has been very rough and strong.—J. BOUNDY, W. H. BOUNDY. WEST ESGAIR LLE (23rd March).-Western minos: The tributers at the 10-fm. level east are earning fair wages, and the ore appears to improve as we go westward. At the cross-cut in th e same level west of shaft we have broken some good stones of lead ore. We have about 3 fms. more to drive before we reach the north wall of the lode at this point. Eastern mine When the self-acting jigger is erected at this mine, and which we expect to have at work in about 9 days, we shall be prepared to commence dressing here at once, and to let 2 good tribute pitches.—J. DAVIS.

BENHY WAINWRIGHT. A complct" list of the subscriptions to the Wain- wright Fund, amoutting to 1,232/. 18s. lOd, received in sums ranging from 50/. downwards, and contri. buted by 1,032 persons, has just Upen published by the Hev. A. fonder, of Bognor, together with some info mstion concerning the criminal's Inst days, and the alleged causes of his downfall from the position f resp, ctubility and trustworthiness at one time luld by him. The Rev. Mr. Condor, re- ferring to an interview with Henry Wainwriuht in prison says "Till I saw him ufu-r hix condemna- tion, I had scarcely heard of him for years. When I then saw him I was painfully struck by the great change which, even in external appeurance, had come over hitn. As regards what I may call his moral self, the word change does not sufficiently convey the idea his lanlZUlIge and conduct gave me. I had known him as, at least in externals, a good Christian man, a.,(l found him in every respect the reverse of this. Though he several times quite hroke down while I was with him, yet at the last I was umler the impr< sd >n he was withholding some- thing by force of determination and against the struggles of his better self. Feeling this, I rhiMk th«» authorities exerci.e a wise discretion by not publishing his final statement, the contents of which VVain wright told to me. I have had many inquiries about the autobiography he is supposed to have written. Enterprising publishers have offered large sums for it; and some seem unwilling to accept my assurance that no such MS. exists, or has existed. Bt-yond a few letters, and the statements held by the authorities, Wainwnght wrote nothing. From one of the last letters he wrote I quote the following,and commend the words to the consideration of those who think it possible a poor wretch can be encouraged to commit such a crime as Wainwrigbt's to secure for his children the pittance charity affords. The words are :—" I feel now that when you left me on Wednesday I hnd hardly said anything that I wanted to say. Though full of burning thoughts, my helirt was filled with such an oppressive grief I could not ti-li you what I wished. God bless you for your kind- ness thank you, above all, for your kindness on behalf ot my wife and children. Your act removed the load of grief which weighed down my sorrowing broken heart. Yes, it is a sorrowing hroken heart. when I reflect wbat. I was, what I might have been, and whut. I now am. I could hardly have supposed that there was such goodness and forgiveness in the world. I truly thank the good, the merciful God that the sins of the father are not visited upon the children May mine never know who their father was. Oh God that I should ever have had to pen that sentence, I who loved them so, who was so beloved by them. Why, I have heard ladies-mothers-say, almost with envy. How his children love him.' What must my feelings now be-whgt the agony of my heart ? Pardon my thus troubling you, I can- not-help it I must ttll you my grief-it relieves me. My dear wife, poor soul, was with me to-day She said, I should not so have minded this if you had been a cruel husband to m" but you have not.' Poor thing, she never knew of my wickedness till the world knew it too, and now even the forgives me. Oh! may God be merciful and kind to her, be her protector and her friend." In concluding, Mr. Conder adds that Mri. Wain- wright hopes, with the assistance of the fund, to support her children by giving lessons in music.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITU- TION. The Annual General Meeiing of the friends and supporters of the Royal National Lite-Boat Institution was held on Tuesday, the 21st ult. at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate Street, London. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, President of the Institution, being unable, from illhealth, to be present, his son,the Earl Percy, M.P occupied the etiair. The meeting was influential!* and numerously attended. The Earl Percy opened the proceedings and Richard Lewis, Esq., secretary of the Institution then read the annual report. The report commenced by stating that fifty-two years had elapsed since the Royal National Life- Boat Institution was first established, with the title of the National Shipwreck Institution. Since then its us' fulness had not diminished, for trade and commerce had vastly increased, and the number of those who "go down to the sea in ships, and do their business in the great waters," had multiplied a hundredfold. Yet the risks of navigation had not grown less the gales blew as of old the gales of our coast, with its rapid and varying tides, its treacherous outlying sandbanks, and sunken reefs remained the flame; and. as a consequence, the number of fatal wrecks was even great-er than before. There was accordingly, no probability that the demand for the Society's help would be less in the time to coine thun it bud been in the past, or that a less noble field for philanthropic and Christian work would present itself. Sinee the last annual report eighteen new life-boats had been plactdonthe coast. During the past year the Institution's Life-boa's, which are 254 in number, Irad saved seven hundred and twenty-seven persons nearly the whole of them under perilous circum- stances, whei ordinary boats could not have been employed without extreme risk to those on board of th -in. The services af the Life-boats on every occasion were, as usual, of the most determined character, and in nearly e\ery instance were atten- ded with complete success. During the pust year 12 si'ver m. dais, 18 votes of thanks inscribed on vellum and jt'3.289 had been granted by the Institution tor saving 727 lives by Life-boats, and 915 lives by Fishifig-t,oa!s &e. The number of lives saved from i'ts first establish- ment to ti e present time, either by its Life-boats or by special exertions foT which It had granted re- wards was 23,790. Since the formation of the In- stitution it had voted 91 gold and 870 silver medals for saving life, besides pecuniary rewards to the amount of £ 47,200. The committee cordially ae- knowledged the continued co.opera'.ion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the Ad miral Superintendent of Naval R. serves the Officers and men of the Coastguard Service the Local Branch Committees and their honorary secretaries, and the .c"ast boatmen and fishermen. The efforts of the Board of Trade in the maint n- anee and extension of the rocket apparatus on the coasts of the United Kingdom were unceasing Many very liberal donations and legacies received during the past year were gratefully ncknow)ed.ref). The total amount, of the receipts in thai ppriod h..d been £ 39 835 15s. 4d and ot that sum £ 12 932 9s 6d. was tt e result of special gifts to defray the cost 01 thirteen Lite-boats. The expenditure, including liabilities, had amounted to £3U4% 7. 5d. The items of receipt and expenditure were detailed in the financial statement annexed to the report, auditi d as usual by .Mr. Lovelock, public accoun- tant. The Committee thankfully acknowledged the support. and encouragement that had hitherto been afforded them, but they were deeply sensible th:\t much remained to be done, and which only could be done successfully by the eontinu. d liberal sup- port othe public. In conclusion, Ih..y added that the 23,790 men thus nved, some of whom, instead of being to-day valuable members of our busy com-, mercial community, in the absence of the services of Life-boats, would almost to a certainty have been engulphed by the raging tempests, leaving, in too many cases, widows and orphans to mourn their loss —pleaded on behalf of the National Life-boat In. stitution in far more eloquent torrns than any human language could express or testify. The adoption of the report was moved by George Lyall, Esq., and seconded by the Admiral of the Fleet, Sir George Sartorius, K.C.B. The following resolution was then proposed by the Earl of Galloway, seconded by J. T. Hamilton Esq., M.P., a d carried unanimously. That this meeting, fully recognising the impor- tance of the great and national work which the Life-boat Institution pursues, and which has hitherto been attended with such marked success undertakes to render the Institution every possible encouragement to carry out efficiently its humane and important mission,, and to make extensively known its claims on the continued support of the public." The Earl of Courtown then moved, and Admiral Hand seconded- •'That this meeting has again the satisfaction to acknowledge the continued brave and prompt ser- vices of the coxswains,and other volunteers, through whose praiseworthy and noble efforts, which were unusually conspicuous last. winter, the life-boats of the Institution have been r ndered available for the saving of so many hundreds of lives." The last named resolution was carried by accla- miiion, and a cordial vote of thanks to the com- miitee and officers ot the parent and branch In- stitution was afterwards proposed by the Earl Waldegiave. seconded by T. B. Smithies, ESQ Editor of the British Workman, and carried unani- mously, Thoma I Chapman. Esq., F.R S., Chairman of the Ins.itution. responded. He concluded bv movin^ that the thanUs of the meeting be given to tho B-rlFercv M.F, f"r ,he »dmiS,„l0 "SJ," 'in Which he hnd presided over the proceedings of the day. He dwelt on the fact that the house of Nor- thumherlai d had been associated with the Lifeboat cause for many gen rations, but the present head of the house, as well as his eldest son, manif sted as givat if not greater interest than any of their pre- decessors in the success of the Lifeboat work. Sir Edward Perrott, Bart.,seconded the resolution, which was carried amidst acclamation. Earl Percy returned thanks The proceedings then terminated
