notes feom bebfton. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Bektton, September 12. The weather has been very bad during the whole •week, and the telegraph lines have been interrupted in all directions. Communication was restored to day, but the weather iB still very boisterous, and likely to continue ao. Scotia.—The cleaning up over^/ie late crushing was concluded yosterday afternoon, the figures being 49ioz of retorted gold from 150 tons, or over 3oz per ton. A dividend of li per share has been declared. Nil Desperandum,—The reef has made egain in the face, and at the present time is said to show a nice solid body of stone in the face. The cutting out of the reef the other day had a very depressing effect upon stocks all round, and the reef having made again haß revived things considerably. Eesolution.—These shares have had a gnod run during the last few days, having risen from 6d to Is, at which figure they are now firm. The weather has been so bid that a stop has been put to all kinds of Burfaee prospecting in the neighbourhood of the Inkerman and the Scotia, and so there has been nothing to give fresh zest to speculation, and most of the small lines are consequently stationary, The following are the quotations of the mining exchange posted at noon to-day:—Buyers: Bendigo, sd; Golden Trea sure, 13s 6d; Gallant, 33 Id; Globe, 20a; Happy Valley, 4d; Inglewood, Is sd; Dark, 20s; Lord Edward, 2§d; National, 7ji; New Era, 4d; New Britannia, 4§d; No. 2 South Dark, 3s 3d; Progress, 255; Supreme, 2a 4d ; Scotia, 15s; Specimen Hill, 2s 3d; Welcome (new), 4s.
