Law > * and order have been, for the last two 1 1 uay.s, m abeyance. The Government 1 louse 1ms been pelted by a mob; its win- ' (lows broken; and stones and brickbats burled at the Council while in the dis- 1 charge of its legislative duty. The pol- 1 ice, in exerting themselves to maintain ordor, have been stoned, cruelly beaten, and ' overpowered, so as to necessitate the cul- 1 ling out of military. The military have bocit also stoned, and forced to fire in ' lrn i - * .-a:u uchjuuu. i wo uuauis ana one or two gun-shot wounds, have been the consc- ^ qucncc. * The Government, buildings have been converted into a temporary barrack, and ' nfc tltfs moment is occupied by the 88 th, by f the company of the 2d West India regi- * ment stationed bore by the Artillery T)e- 1 tachment, and by the men of Her Majes- ( tv sloop of war Scorpion, now in lmrbor. ( TTi-?v?wio .-.r oon ??i i . . ui Iiuu ouuuim tousilUIV.'i I1UVU been sworn in, and a volunteer horse * patrol formed, at least seventy strong. On the other hand tho mob, finding the ' force in town loo strong for thorn, have 1 soul off a portion of their number to the 1 eastward, tobnrn and lay waste the sugar estates in that direction. Tho Mogass- j bouses cf Dinsley, Afticoya, and lil Dora- ' do estates have already been lired, and \ burne*. to the ground. Such is the state of tilings at the mo- 1 inent we write. The immediate and os- t teusible object originally brought forward * us the cause of the outbreak, was the reg- ' ulatio:*s rouontly passed for the Govern- 1 ment of the royal jail of the port of Spain, f which regulations, among other things, provided that debtors committed under 1 the petty civil courts' ordinance; should * have their hair cropped close, and wear a ' prison dress, and be liable to be called up- ( on by the jailer to assist in any work go- ( ing on ifi the jail. It is evident tint iimniwst. t.hn mnli wnrn 1 t lai<re number of ill-disposed persons? 1 principally St, Kitts and Amigun immif/i ants?anxious for both plunder and raas- ' - I'M*. Thte most revolting threats were 1 dso urged against the white inhabitants as 1 ii body, by some parties speaking creole French, and reported to bo Martinique ' immigrants; but these parties, seeing now * distinctly that Hie natives of the colony j who nmt w\Ken part in tne earner jxjrtion 1 of the day's proceedings, withdrew them- * selves from the .subsequent outrages, had had no desire to carry their opposition to ' the Government any farther, can no Ionff<>r have any hope of indulging in the ul- ( timate objects with wliich, no ^oubt, they 1 joined the multitude, aad sought to lead 1 them on?to more outrageous bohavior.

For years'past, on advent of ivery new Administration, the Senate lias jeen in tbe habit of charging full mileage or attendance at the special Executive Session of that body, in addition to the i uuount received for the regular Session. ! !)f course this usage bad its origin during be existence of the 'dinasty of pcculaors;' but it was killed a few days since by hat incorruptible and intrepid guardian )f the people's money, lion.

Fearing, however, that the Ad { nini.stration might regard ihta ns an incp 1 Ijortuno occasion for such action as might , lispleusc the /Sfennte, he sthted the ense o mc rresment, through Mr. Clayton, j uul added the remark, that if it was not ( bought proper to act in accordaece with ^ lis (Mr. W.'s) convictions, lie would re- | iign the Oontrollership.

The Frenchmen, in- c piisitivo in the extreme, stopped to look it everything and to take notico ofnoth- f ng at all. We proceeded until near the r iity wall, and suddenly turning about t bund ourselves in a shop with silk just c rora the loom, and three or four of the 1 nost prominent silk merchants waiting to f cceivc us. <i 'Nearly tho whole of the raw silk of 1 Dhinji is produced in four provinces, cut r )y the thirtieth parallel of north latitude, c lliAllf CrvtI? lnm/li-nrl tvAtl/xo f uwuu 4VUI IIUIIUIVAI lllliva UUIU We saw many rich varieties of silks, and r ,vere made aware of the faot that the t greater part of the finest goods are never t ?ent out of the c ountry hut are kept for c lome consumption.
