YARN.

In reply to a qusstion from Colonel 811TAORT, as to what
the authority was by which several noes, cut down in Ryder
park had berm tut down, sad whether the power was
baited, and if for what was termed a commission to afford
accorandation for foreign mukets, and the importation or
warehousing of foreign goods ?
Lord J. RUSSELL -*plied that the trees cut down bed been
removed by the authority of the Chief Commissioner of Woods
and Forests. With respect to the other question,—this commis-
sion—that had nothing to do with the telling of the trees ;
and. consequently, could not be mixed up to the matte.
(" Hear, hear," matt leeghter.)
Col SIBTHORP—Thaw I tire notice that I will bring
t►e question, an impogrant rob, before the hone, and also
the very unsatisfactory answer of the noble lord. (" Bear,
bear," and laughter)

COMMISSION OF SEWERS.
Lard DUNCAN said that owiag to the not satisfactory
answer he remind tea question a few days since, he felt it
his duty to pay a visit to No. 1, Greek-street, Salta. Oa
examiaing the record book he found no miont• had been
made therein subsequent to the B.h of February, 1840. (Ott,
oh.) NJer the question he wished to ask wee, why no
written record of the proceeding■ of the Commissienen of
Sewers wee kept since the Bth of February. 1830, pursuant
toll &12 Viet. ? (Hear, hear.)
Lard EBRINOTON stated in reply that he made it his
duty to inquire into the facts of the ease, and had ewer-
talaed that. a:though the former minute book had been en-
tered up from time to time only as suited the eonereeience of
• the clerks—(. hear, hear," from Logi Dineen. and general
laughter)—yet the verily minutes wen kept and pub-
lished for the use of the C3WWWWO4OI9. Its saw in print
that day retorts of the courts held is April and May, and
the :vac& of courts held in June were ready to be put into
;the hands of the printers. A. that plan answered all the
'purposes of the •ommissioners, he did not see it was of suck
tesportaam that every particle, minute should be entered.
(" Oh, oh." sad laughter. )
Lord DUNCAN—I WA t to know, from what the noble
lord has stated. it the records are printed previous to being
entered on the minute book (Hear, hear.)
Lx! EBRINOTON—I be.; to state, in reply to the ques-
itioa of my noble friend, that such is the CM*. (" Hear. ,"

TRINIDAD.

Th.? following summary of news is from the Trull-
&dean of May IS :

The memorial tor an elective council to cona:st of 3 offi-
cials. 6 nominees of the mown, and Id elected members, goes
by this packet. It was at first propoecd to have 9 nominees
of the crown; but this has been altered to six, and we dam
say the latter figure would be altered in its turn if the noble
petition was left looter on shore. It has 315 signatures—a
large proportion of the inhabitants of the colony I We
hate° read the noble and respectable names. At the head
or the list figures that of a gentleman who, at the reform
meeting of March, 1616, moved as an amendment
to a similar scheme, " thxt a petition be for-
warded to her Majesty Frgibg for a Mouse of lir
sembly based on the princip es of the Bridsh constitution."
Principle, it appears, with some chsnges as the weather.
But what we wish to impress on t`e distant reader is, that
the scheme proposed in this noble memorial was rejected at
the geaersl meeting held on 17th April last ; and that it
was afterwards got up by tome who would have their will
is that of the whole community. If it is not the memorial
of a faciion, it is certainly not that of the inhabilicts of the
island ; because., a: a public meeting of the inhabitants held
for the purpose of adopting a petition for reform, this scheme
was rejected by an overwhelming majority ; and the other,
that is, for two chambers, carried.
The other memorial praying for a constitution similar to
that of the Cape, and adopted at the general ntecting is still
in the c tune of signature ; and it is expected, will' be for-
warded by the next packet.
The rainy season has nearly set in. There is an cheering
account of the crop. Commerce, is in the same dull state.
Tne small pox has almost disappeared.
The prices current are: sneer, 3 doll. to 3 25 ets.
per cwt. ; cocoa, 7 dee. 50 cts. to 7 dole. 76 cts. ; eaffee,
9 dole. to 10 dols.; caolasees, 10 cts. per gallon ; rum, 43
to 60 cu. per gallon.
Tne selling rate o.E:change is, bank bills, 476: mer-
chant's ditto, 470, at 90 days.

GREECE.

ATHENS, Aro. 6.
We are here in the greatest stets of excitement
possible. A cuwp distal, es sudden as a coup tie foudre
in a calm day, has aroused us all from our summer
lethargy. The case is this: On the let inst. the
King sent for his ministers, and laid before them hie
intention of leaving the country, at the same time
presenting for their approval a royal ordinance, in
the shape of • bill, to be presented to the chambers,
consisting of two articles. The first declares that
"whenever the King is ill, or absent from the king-
dom, the regency of the kingdom may be conferred
upon ' our beloved consort' Queen Amelia, by ourown
royal determination so long as the occasion oily de-
mand ;" and the second article provides that before
the Queen Consort shall assume the duties of Queen
Regent, she shall take an oath, in the presence of the
King and his ministers, the holy synod, and the
deputies and senators in the capital. (The oath fol-
lows, but it is the same am that which re required of
the ministers of state, mutatia mulandis.) There.
upon a great dispute arose among the ministers, two
out of the five, viz., Londoe and Chrysogelos (the
letter is Minister of Justioe and Religion), absolutely
refusing to countenance, such a violation of the con-
stitution, or rather such an assumption of power be.
longing only to a national assembly, changing the
whole order of things, uncalled for end in the highest
degree dengeroue. They had a second meeting of
the ministers in the evening, when the two recusants
persisted, but finding their persistence useless, they
gave in their resignations, which were immediately
accepted, on Friday, the 2nd. Thu next day (the Srd)
this outrageous proposition was submitted to the
Chamber of Deputies by the three remaining minis-
ters, and carried almost by acclamation (so well had
these poor wretched tools been prepared). It is to
be presented to the senate to-day, where it is certain
to be passed!

eIIEt.TENIIAM.—A SCARF MADE BY HAND FROM
HONE-GROWN EMIL —The wife of a clergyman in Chelten-
ham intends to exhibit a lady's silk scarf made from silk
the produce of silkworms kept in an open building in an
adjoining county. Tee lady Siva the following intere-tine
account of its manufacture: "Having resided for about
three years in a village in Herefordshire the garden of which
possessed a remarkably fine mulberry tree, I wished to give
my family an idea of the habits and natural history of the
silkworm, and the method by which silk is produced. With
this view I procured a quantity of eggs early in the spring of
1847, which were hatched about May, and I placed the
worms, 2,000 or rather more In number. in an outhouse in
the garden. There they were attended and fed by myself
and some of the juvenile members of my family, and in due
time they spun; and much wishing to turn the produce of
three industry to some use, I directed my attention towards
mskiatthe scarf which I have the pleasure to lay before
you. The silk was wound from the cocoons by my daughter
and myself on a winding machine, and afterwards I wove it
Into its present form. It has consequently never been in the
hands of any manufacturer, and presents the NUN colour and
quality as when taken from the cocoon. I may add, that
the outhouse in which the worms lived had no windows to
protect them from the weather, which was unusually cold
for the season of the year • as I think this point may illus-
trate the fact that our English climate presents no insupera-
ble °hatable to the cultivation of silk. The mulberry tree
was the common kind."

Notwithstanding the late depression in the share

By the overland mail we have received adviora as
to the state of the metal markets. From Bombay,
under date 3rd October, we loam that the inquiry for
nearly all descriptions of copper bad declined. Heavy
stocks are already in importers' hands, and large
quantities are known to be on the way oat ; and the
unfavourable advice, from the interior made up-
country dealers unwilling to speculate at present. In
iron, Baglish bar, sheet and hoop had declined in
value and demand, and the inquiry for square and
round nailrod had decreased ; while Swedish bar had
receded in Taloa Speller and sheet lead had some-
what detained in price. Swedish steel and pig lead
remain as before. At Calcutta, the market for metals
is unusually stagnant, sparely any copper had been
told, and the low rates ruling fail to attract even is
increased inquiry from Minapore. Speller goes
lower, week by week, without a symptom of demand
for consumption. Iron, too, is at extremely depressed
rates.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE

MARKETS.

MINCING-11NR, SATCRDAY MORNING.
The colonial markets this week have not shown
any signs of improvement, and prices, with but few exemp-
tions, rule in favour of the buyers. The quarterly Indigo
sales commenced on Thursday, and up to this date 2,560
cheats have been disposed of at quotations which show an
advance of from 4d. to 6d. upea the rates rune, at the Os.
tober auctions. Importers of Sagan have in meet instances
given support to the market by buying in the parcels offered,
but for the portion actually sold a chalice et 6d. per cwt.
upon the prices of this day week has been submitted to. In
Coffee the immediate until today were vary limited, and
the native descriptions of Ceylon were at one period
of the week quoted at 60.., but upoa the receipt
today of the Rio accounts up to the 2nd ult.,
an wive demand was ex perieseed,aad several parcels changed
hands at 61s. to Fl.. 6d., the aiming prices being 61e. 61.
per ewt. For plantation Ciyloa and other descriptions of
Coffee there has bow but little inquiry. The chief feature
in the Spice market has been the sale of 4,000 chests Cassia,
which went off with spirit at rates about 8.. per ewt. above
the la,t public sale's priors; in other epic*, sad is Saltpetre
and Rim there is no alteration. The Tea market has been
steady. Then has been some inquiry for the medium kinds
of Congou, bat the common sad the fine descriptions are
bothheavy or sale. Public sales take place on Wednesday
neat.

from the previous account, will admit of the payment of a
dividend of ls. GC per share, el• ar of income tax, en the
107,240 shares at present entitled to receive dividend. The
result of the six months' working with locomotives exhibits

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Basle, of the 16th, states that the
Federal Council has just adopted a resolutioo relative
to political refugees. On the 20th of the present
month a new clietribution of them is to be made
amongst the cantons, according to the population of
each ; the position of each refugee is to be carefully
inquired into and ascertained, and each canton is to
send in, within a delay of four weeks, a statement
concerning such refugees as have not obtained an ex
press authorisation of residence. After the let of
September the pecuniary assistance hitherto given to
the refugees by the confederation is to cease, and
such of them as have no means of subsistence are to
be obliged to work. Should any prove idle or ill-
conducted, the right of asylum shall be taken from
them. The Tesino is to keep the Italian refugees.

The share market is rather dull to-day, bat there is
scaree4 any change in prim, except fur Shrewsbury
and Chester Preference shares, which have further

the strike of the nen on t►is latter line, and the
threats and intimidation which are stated to be held
out to those at present in the company's employ-

been carried out in all instances with the great&st

PUNISHMENT Or CONVICTS.—The two eolltiete
who recently attempted to escape and were recaptured near
the Royal Marine Barracks, Woolwich. and another very
refractory convict, who wee continually threatening to strike
both guards and convicts, or any person who came near him,
were ordered by the authorities to receive four dozen of
lashes each in consequence of the number of attempts of con-
victs to escavi and the bad example of instaboraination shown
by others. The convict who was moat loud and fearlem
when he thought be could threaten and strike with impu-
nity, proved the greatest coward when the lash was applied
to his beck, and succumbed so much when undergoing the
etas ent awarded to him, that the doctor caused the
punishment to cease whoa be had only reorived ten lashes.
One of the convicts who attempted to amps said be demrved
the punishment ordered, as hews. aware ke had done wrong,
end would bear his tour dozen, which he did in the Meg
stoical manner. The other convict only received a limited

SPAIN.

MADRID, AVOW)? 14.
The board for arranging the settlement of the
national debt has greet difficulty in coining to an
understanding with the delegates of the Spanish
bondholders. It was reported that M. Bertrand de
Lhys, president of the junta for the arrangement of
the debt, had made the following propositions to the
delegates of the foreign holders : That the Spanish
government shall admit the whole amount of the
capital and convert it into 3 pm cent., with Won't
daring four years; that the capital of the coupons
shall also be recognised and converted into S per cent.
stock, with I percent. interest daring four years; that
at the expiration of the first four years the rate
of interest on the coupons is to be increased by e
or I, in such a manner, that at the end of eighteen
years the capital converted shall bear 3 per cent.
intermit, and the coupons le per omit. It is said that
the delegates do not accept the conditions offered by
the junta, and that they are not altogether to the
taste of the ministry.

PRUSSIA.
We have news from Berlin by telegraph to the

for another diet (Bundestag) reached Berlin on that
day,:and that Prussia is resolved to decline accepting
any proposal in this or a similar sense.

AUSTRIA.
Letters from Vienna of August 11 say :
An increasing variance between our government
soul that of Sardinia has shown itself of late. Its
Oedipal ground, apart from the offensive tone in
whieh the Turin papers arc allowed to speak of the
imperial government, is to be found in the growing
it of England, which seeks to injure the com-
mercial interests of Austria in Sardinia. A treaty of
commerce is already concluded between England and
Sardinia, which concerns more particularly the Genoa
trade and the Importation of colonial merchandise.
An Indo-Australian commercial company is also in
course of formation, and the more considerable
English houses having connexions oe branch esta-
blishments in Genoa have taken shares. Thus will
English interest add artificial hindranoes to those ob-
stacles which have hitherto prevented Austria's success.
Baron Koller, Austrian minister in London, has re-
ceived instructions to subscribe the late London pro-
tocol with a reservation of the rights of the German
