THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC.
August 23, 1867.

On the morning Of the 10Th Of June,
the Archduke Ferdinand Macmillan of
Austria, Emperor of Mexico, in company
with Generals Miramon and Mejia, was
taken out to be shot they were convey
ed'to the place of execution, q short dis

coach f; the streets through which they
passed were lined with soldiers and the
coachritself surrounded by guard. When
within 100 yards of the place His Majesty
descended from the coach, and with his
usual'frm and natural step walked to the
spot which had been assigned him. He
then, asking for the men who were going
to shootshim, gave each of them an ounce
of gold. Having embraced Miramon and
Meiia, who stood on either side of him,
he advanced a little, and is reported to
have said with a firm and steady voice.

SILK, THE PRODUCTION OF
JAMAICA.
To the Editor of the Cleaner.

SIR,-When it is known how we'll all
plants grow in and near the City, it is
surprising that the Mulberry should not
be extensively, and indeed generally, Gull
tivated. It is ornamental as we'll as use
full, and grows rapidly where there are
the advantages %ofssun, soil, and irrigation.
Young ladies and lads, in many parts of
England, amuse themselves and make up
a. purse by keeping Silk Worms, and
winding off the silk, for which there is al
ways a ready sale. The Silk Worm was
introduced into Europe from India and
China; our climate is thus most favoura-
BILE for its growth, particularly in such To-
entities as Kingston, where there are no
great changes of temperature, which are
most inimlcal to its health and growth.
The trial that was made by the Silk
Company Of this Island failed, in a great
measure, from the Silk Worm being
placed in an Iron building on an elevated
district, where the changes were great
and sudden from sunshine 10 heavy rains
and cold nights but probably more from
the want of that constant minute care,
which it has been found can only be had
where there is a dense population of fc-
LldlCS dlu CnIluICH" AuC LtIC IudulpulV-
ton required to tend the Worm, and IN
roll the Cocoons, can only be thus sup
piled; it being absolutely necessary that
the food Of the Worm should be changed
three times each day, when all rejected
leaves and extraneous matter must be
carefully removed. 1t may be said that
this -needlul care can not be had in King
ston.; but those who know the attention
that the women and girls give 10 Embroi-
derry, Knitting, and ,Crotchet, and the
quickness with which they learn every
thing new of that nature, will moi appre-
bend any want of knowledge or applica-
ton. Itmay be fully believed, therefore,
that the only want is 10 be supplied 10y
importing, as was formerly done, the
Eggs and Plants, which will we'll remu-
nerate the 'importer, and furnish q valua-
BILE a djunct to our Exports; while M

TO the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Sir,
Any one passing by the above station
cannot be but struck with the injury the
trees have sustained by the wholesale
cropping which has been inflicted on
them-and for what purpose? Not to
do them good, certainly for trees can
only suffer by having their whole tops
cut off whilst on the other hand, the
greatest beauty Of trees consists in their
holiness. 1t may be that wood-selling is
profitable ; but Kingshill station is pub
lie property, on which public taste should
be regarded before private interests.

phlcal position and close proximity Of The
WeSt indian Islands 10 the United States,
renders a direct, regular, and reliable
steam communication absolutely indis-
pensable to the prosperity of all the ISL
lands; and the great city of New York
the Metropolis of America-ofers equal,
if not superior inducements for all OBJ
iects of trade to any Of the capitals Of
Europe. Besides, such a line of steam
ers would induce emigration, and materi-
ally assist in developing the rich re-
sources Of the Islands.
With these facts before US, the Com
pany feel fully confident and assured that
the establishment ofsuch a line of steam
efs would net only prove of inestimable
value to the inhabitants of the Islands, as
also to our own mercantile community, but
would insure to the stockholders a very
profitable and safe investment.
The advantages of this line are, and
must be, obvious TO all. The inter-co-
lonial trade between the Islands is now
performed by a class of small sailing yes
sells, offering no adequate comforts for the
price of passage charged, and consuming
much valuable time in their length of
voyages, besides the risks of navigation
and consequent loss that SO repeatedly
occurs. Again, BY the system of making
so many ports, the same space being SO
often used for the transmissions of way,
freights and passengers, will be a great
source of revenue to the Company.
