HOLLAND.

Accounts from the Hague, of the 27th ultimo,
mention that the King of HOLLAND has recently
nominated a commission, charged with the examina-
tion of the question, whether (without compromising
the interests of the Government) it is not advisable
that the working of the Banca tin mines, and those
existing in other parts of Dutch India, should be
abandoned to private enterprise. The commission
would assemble, it was understood, on the 4th instant,
in the colonial department.

GREECE.

RUMOURED COLLISION BETWEEN A
BRITISH AND AN AUSTRIAN SHIP OF

WAR.

The Turin papers, Opinion and Concordia, and
private correspondence of the French paper Assemblee,
state that an Austrian ship had exchanged shots
with an English ship in chase of a Greek vessel. That
the English Consul at Milan had, consequently,
struck his flag and retired to Turin. That some ships
had been detached from the English fleet to blockade
Trieste. The Milan Gazette, however, of the 24th,
does not confirm this news ; but private letters speak
of the retirement of our Consul from Milan.
Dispatches have been received from Admiral PAR'.
KEE of the 17th, which make no mention of these
occurrences, and as Leither 'the Turin papers nor the
Assemblee condescend to dates in their account of the
transaction, we are not inclined to place much reliance
on the accuracy of their statements.
Letters from Malta of the 22d ult state that
the Greek people begin to feel severely the conse-
quences of the blockade, and would seem disposed
to hold the KING responsible for his acts, even
though they pushed matters to the extent of dethron-
ing him.
The Turkish Government has moved a small fleet
into the Propontis, for the purpose of enforcing the
long outstanding claims which Turkey has upon
Greece. The conduct of Mr. Wren is highly praised
by the Turkish authorities. The English fleet was,
on the 18th ult., in the Bay of Salamis. Mr. Win

of
the chair. The former minutes baying been read and
passed, the report was read, which stated, that during
the quarter ending November 22, sixty-one iii-door pa-
tient! were received, making, together with 81 then oc-
cupying the wards, a total of 14$. Of this number, 51
wore discharged, more or less relieved, 16 died, and 82
now remain under treatment.

by stating that architects hal been selected, and plans
were under consideration, fur effecting the final cumple-
tion of the hospital, an attainment tha was much desired
both by the friends of the charity and the many indivi-
duals seeking its relief. Upon the motion a the Hur.
Arthur Kinnaird, the report was received and adopted,
and the custutnary compliment having
been voted to the
Rev. aironet presiding, the proceedings terminated.
Mr. Charles Pearson was prevented from attending
to vote for Mr. Hume's motion for Parliamentary Re.
form by severe illness, by
which, we regret to say, he has
been confined to his house for several days.
Two days ago, as a young bride and bridegroom,
who had just sworn eternal fidelity at the foot of the
altar in the church of St. Ouen, were about to receive
the benediction of the priest, the female uttered a pierc-
ing shriek, succeeded by a second one, and in a few
moments
gave birth to a bouncing boy.—Galignani's
