In the sitting of the Second Chamber, Mr.
Proposed to the Chamber, after having

sitting, in which the Ho'Lando-

was discussed, should be made public,
printed, and distributed to the members. This pro-
posal was carried unanimously. The additional pro•
tocol of the treaty of commerce and navigation con-
cluded between the Netherlands and Belgium, has
just been published. Notwithstanding the violent
opposition Which this treaty received in Belgium,
especially from the Chambers of Commerce at
Antwerp and Liege, it was carried by a triumphant
majority through the Second Chamber of that king-
dom, as well as through the First and Second
Chambers of the Netherlands. As yet it has not
passed the Senate or First Chamber of Begium, but
there is no doubt of the result, for the committee of
reporters appointed by the Senate to examine the
treaty have declared in its favour by a majority.
The Staats Courant officially contradicts the re-
port that the French Government has made a pro-
test to the Dutch Government against the violence of
the Netherlands press against the recent measures
adopted by the PRESIDENT.
,
M. Mesta, Director-General of the Belgian tele-
graphs, and M. VAN DE Kuri, engineer and delegate
of the Dutch Government
have just signed at Brus-
sels a convention relative to the establishment of a
line of electric telegraphs between Belgium and Hol-
land, starting from Antwerp, and terminating at Rot-
terdam, by Breda.

.AFhiCAN TRAY EL.
We read in the Akhbar of Algiers: —" One of our
officers of bpshis, M. Hecquart, has just returned from
au interesting journey into the interior of Africa. He
&parted from the French factory of the G rsnd Bissau),
in Senegambia, to ascertain if, as the naives affirm, the
river Akba is only a tributary of the Niger. Having
been abandoned by his guides, he was forced
to return, but set out the second time
on September Ist, 1850, from Sedhiou, on the Casa-
mame. Having gone up that river to Camako, where
it ceases to be navigable, he crossed the space lying
between that river and the Gambia, notwithstand-
ing the heavy rains which fell the whole time. He
then went up the Gambia to Fatatenda, and reached
Kade, the point where McAllen stopped. At Kade,
M. Hecquart was robbed of everything he possessed,
which, however, did not prevent
.his continuing
Th
his journey to Timbo, in the Fouta•olou. He was
therefore made prisoner by the Almani, who, how-
ever, allowed him to explore that rich country.
He was at last permitted to return, and set out on
June 23, 1851, and atter a journey of forty-five days in
the midst of great privations, he arrived at Senou-
debou, literally in rags. In his return he visited
the Tends, the Niocolo, the Cameo, and the Boudou,
and viewed the sources of the Senegal, the Falinia,
the Rio Grande, and the Gambia. M. Hecquart had
intended to penetrate to Timbuctoo, and although ho
did not succeed in his attempt, his journey will have
the effect of opening a surer route into the interior,
and has already been attended with happy effects
for our commerce at Senegal, as the Almani
Oumar has already sent caravans to our factories.

THE AVON STEAMER.—
It may not be generally
known that Captain Onslow, of the Royal Mail steam-ship
Avon (which sailed trom Southampton on Sunday last, to
convey home the mails which would have been brought by
the ill-fated Amazon), who only returned on the loth De-
cember, atter eighteen months' active service in the West
Indies, was one of the surviving crew of the unfortunate
steamer Tweed, wrecked about tour years since on the
cheered and kept the surviving crew and
Alacranes. It was his sympathy and good feeling that
rocks whilst his brother officer, the brave Edison (now chief
officer of the Teviot), h :
..eroically volunteered to go in the
mail-boat, although she was very much damaged (her stern
passengers on the
i orn out, and bottom and stem store in), to search for some
vessel, with nothing to guide him but a compass between his
legs. Ile fell in with one about one hundred miles from the
wreck, and after an absence of four days triumphantly re-
turned and saved 79 persons, who must otherwise have pe-
rished on the desolate rocks. The City of London most gene-
rously rewarded the captain of the Spanish brig Emilio, but
we believe the heroic conduct of Ellison was never requited.
[Considering the extraordinary notice recently taken of Mr.
Vincent in regard to his conduct towards the passengers and
crew of the unfortunate Amazon, it is earnestly to be re-
gretted that no attention whatever has hitherto been paid to
the really remarkable services, the heroism and the self-pos-
session of the gallant young officer whose name is above-
mentioned. Yet whatever may be the treatment experienced
by Mr. Ellison it cannot very speedily be forgotten that to
his courage eighty persons owed the preservation of their
,
lives, although to accomplish this he had in an open boat to
traverse a distance of nearly one hundred miles - a feat
almost unparalleled in its display of daring and persever-
ance. Now that public attention bas been recalled to a cir-
cumstance which must still remain fresh in the general re-
membrance, we trust that an officer so peculiarly entitled to

promotion—and one whose conduct upon the occasion re-
ferred to must ever excite our warmest admiration—will not
continue much longer among the list of those whose courage
and humanity are only repaid by ingratitude.—ED. Sun]

The temporary church erected for the use of the
late congregation of Carlisle Chapel, Kennington-lane, was
opened yesterda for divine worship, under the licehce of
the bishop of the diocese. At both services the building
was densely filled. There was no foundation, it seems, for
the report that this congregation had seceded, together with
their former minister, the Rev. Tenisoll Culla.
INFANCY.—As the infant begins to discriminate
between the objects around, it soon discovers one countenance
benignity. When it
that ever smiles upon it with peculiar f f
wakes from its sleep there is one watchful orm ever bent
'Oyer its cradle If startled' by some unhappy dream, a guars
than angsl seems ever ready to sooth its fears. If cold, that
ministering spirit brings it warmth ; if hungry, she feeds it :
if happy she carresaes it. In joy or sorrow, in weal or woe,
she is the first • f its thoughts. Her presence is heaven.
