A deputation, numerously attended, was introduced by
Sir B. Hall, M.P., and Lord Dudley Stuart, to Sir G.
Grey to-day, for the purpose of pointing out the general
dissatisfaction of the ratepayers with the proceedings of
the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, and the
speakers showed that the Commission now constituted
is not in aceordance with the common law of the land ;
sad Sir George confessed the ratepayers had lawfully
the rigrlt of local self-government regarding sewers,
wafer supply, lighting, paving, and police. After an in-
terview of nearly an hcur and a half, Mr. Nicholay en-
gaged to send to Sir George a copy of the requisition of
the deputies of the several metropolitan parishes, to
which Sir George promised an early reply.

DENMAIM AND THE DUCHIES.
The following is the proclamation of the new mixed
Commission of Government of Holstein :
" His Majesty the King of Denmark, as Duke of Hol-
stein, having, in virtue of the 4th Article of the Treaty
of Peace of the 2d of July, 1850, demanded the aid of
the Ceafederatien for the re-establishment of his actual
authority in the duchy as the Sovereign of the State;
thet aid has been granted by the Royal Government
of Prussia and the royal and imperial Government
of Austria on behalf of the German Bund. In
consequence of this intervention the hostilities are
suspended, the army reduced to one-third its force,
and the facetious of the Stathalterschaft, and the
chiefs of the departments of Administration under it,
terminated. The Commissaries charged for the present
with :he Executive Power in the Duchy of Holstein
have, in virtue of the4authority entrusted to them, ap-
pointed, a civil Administration for the State. It consists
Qf Baron Adolph Biome, of Heiligeastedten, as Presi-
dent, and Baron Fleintze, M. Heinzelmann (Government
Councillor), M. Malmros (Councillor of the Court of
Appeal), and M. Prehn; they will administer the Go-
vernment of the Duchy under the control of the Com-
mileiaries of the, Confederation. In other places, and in-
dependently of their authority, the question relative
to the definitive settlement of the relations of the Duchy
of Holstein to the German Band, and to the Kingdom of
Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig, will be arranged.
."The hitherto existing Constitution of September 17,
11148, with the law relative to the election of the Cham-
bers, and the decrees of the 16th of September, and the
20th a d 21st of On-zober, 1848, relating to the Admi-
nisfraiiee, are hereby suspended and declared valid, and
the Chamber of the Duchy is dissolved. In the same
maener the German declaration of fuadamental rights
.published in the Duchy is cancelled.
"As no laws promulgated without the sanction of
the 3overeiga can have any definitive legal force, it
is expressly provided that all the orders, decrees,
zed regulations published since the 24th of March,
1848. are only valid during the existence of the present
interim Adminietratich, and ate to be acted on by it
.with the reservation that it has the power to
suspend or elter them without limitation. But the ad-
miri,eerative nr,a,urea which have been taken since the
24th of M:rcn, 1848. wit!, in the same manner, be con-
tinued and e;;I:etel in su fir :16 they are not suspended

• MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(Fiesta the Mining Journal of this day.)
A considerable business has been done during the
.week, but in many instances at a reduced figure, and
our column ef. transactions shows, generally, a lower
range ef prieesfor dividend mines, whilst fur others
.there has teen a good demand, without any particular
advance or decline. It is, however, important to note
that the lrpnti /ide success of mining adventure hen been
remarksiey exemplified in the sudden, though not un-
expected improvement in iieveial progressive concerns,
and which bee operated most favourably on the value of
the shares. We feel called upon to give especial cur-
reuey to the fact that several new cempaeies are pre- '
jectcd, with large paid-up capitals, thus compelling the
adventurer to the payment of money which may never
be wan:.cd, and operati,g perniciously, as we conceive,
on the reaerseemele, by placing it ou a wrong basis at
the cumeneuccmenz.-.. To call for funds as they are wanted
appears to us the only legitimate mode of conducting
Brttith mining operetieens.
In the metal market, Copper is steady, without
change. - English Tin continues in good demand:
foreign has again advanced, but limited business has
bran done, in cousequence of the small quantity offering.
Leed with tit change, and firm.
In ,sir list of dividends for January, given last week,
that of Northßo=kear, amounting to 7001, ought to have
lima included, whice sum, added to the total amount,
as euhlialsed, will maim the aggregate for the last mouth
24,9741.
The sale of copper ores at Redrutla, on Thursday, was
4,799 tons, and produced 20.9221. 15s. 6d. The next
sal, (3,240 tons) takes place at Itedruth.
The sale of black tin horn the Great Beam Mine re-
alized from 481. 103. to 611. pee ton, the total amount
being 3691. 12s. 3d.
Georgia Consols sold two parcels of black tin-one of
541. 10i., the other at 30/. per ton.
Bryntail Mine sold 18 tons of lead ore, at 114 2s.
per ton.
The Trelawny Mine sold two Freels of silver-lead
- ores-100 tons at 211. Ils. 6d., and 70 at 21. 11s. 6d. per
tee, realizing 2,3371. 15s.
The Alltey-Crile Mine sold 30 tons of silver-lead ore,
at 121. Is. per ton.
A sale of silver-lead ores from East Tamar, amount-
iog to 65 tons, realie:d 14/. ptr ton.
In a large proportion of our mine reports, the agents
stNl complain that their operations have been impeded
by the continued and heavy rain by which nearly every
locality ' has been visited. At Trelawny, Wheal Mary
Ann, Alfred Consols, and other mines, this obstacle has
beets especially felt, and an improvement in the weathe
is generally looked for as a means of giving increased
activity to the workings now in progress.
At Devon and Courtenay, the lode in the 40 rise is
about 2 feet wide, yielding 1 toes of copper ore, per
fm., ef excellent quality.
:ANiineisi Athens, the lode is becoming more pro-
'deeteee in the cross-cut w;:eorly, with every prospect,
seconding to the report, of a large doposit of ore being
speedily reechsd.
At Holinhush, in extending the 120 fm. level, a branch
. of tin' lead lode has been intersected, producing a very
fair queutity of lead, arid in places rich for silver.
East Oeceendale, the bunch of tin in the bottom of
the 40; east of middle shaft, is extending both in length
and breadth, and of rich gushy.
At Treeneck and B mence, the winza sinking from the
20 to the 30 ina. level is stated to be worth 201. per fro.
A great improvement has taken place at Wheal Cre.
bur, which has caused a considerable demand for the
shares at a mach advanced price, at which several trans-
actions have been. done, but holders are firm.
At Borringdon Park Mine, the lode though only 11
fins. deep, is worth between 301. and 401. per fathom for
silver lead.
At Trolyon Consols, the tin lode still continues good
in the 30 fathom level, worth 301. per fin. In Wheal
Margery there is a good copper lode in the 60, and a
pitch will be set in a few days. The sampling of cop-
per ore is expected to equal the last, and the produce of
tin is increasing.
By Alfred Consols report, we perceive that the lode in
tee 70 fin, level is 9 ft. wide, and worth from 601. to 701.
per fan; and the lode in the rise and scopes over the
heck of the same level is estimated as high as in the
preceding week-from 1201. to 140/. per fin.; while the
lode in the wince sinking under the 60 fm. level is stated
at about 1001. per fm.
. In the East Crowndale report, it is stated that, during
the past month, the prospects of the mine have decidedly
!Improved. In the 40 fm. level a rich bench of tin has
been found, and the value of the lode taken down is esti-
mated at 1201. per fm. In other parts of the mine also
good resets awe anticipated.

operations
are favourable. In the
Semler, progress has

ratter, up to the latest moment. Frrra
the first returns made by the present
companybeen obtained this week, which more thin coyer
have
the expenses. The first intention was to cover
have
forked the water, and get down to the old
workings, said to be solid, and of great thickness
and extent; but as the works above the edit produce
large quantities of ore, it is intended to continue them
until a large 50-ft. wheel is completed, when the bottom
course of ore will be opened. Cwm Sebon is now giv-
ing a profit; the machinery is very extensive, with a
6a-fi. water-wheel, the largest working in the county.
Some little alterations are making in details, when all is
expected to ge on smoothly. At Daren, ore sufficient
has been raised to pay for the expensive preparatory
work, with a balance equal to one-fourth of the cost of
a steam-engine, and something left for further develop-
ment. At E3gair-hir and Eag air-fraith a course of solid
worked on, where two men will raise 2001.
of ore in about two months. So promising is this
