At the Exchange at Amsterdam on Monday, Dec. 2,
the Dutch Funds in general got up ; there was a great
deal bought in the interior of the country. Th'
Avondbode says that this improvement was owing to
the satisfactory answer given by the Government to
the observations on the Budget by the Sections.
Prince Henry, of the Pays-Bas, landed on the 12th •f
November at Genoa, after having performed quaran-
tine. The Herring fishery has not been so successful
as the previous year.
The Dutch Papers of the Ist instant state, that the
observations of the Second Chambers on the project of
-n law for the loan of 56 millions to the charge of the
Colonial possessions, had induced the Government to
modify it. An annual report will be made to the State-
' General of the total amount of the crops, and of the
sum required for the Budget ; on financial affairs the
answer is said to contain very important communications.
Among other things, the heavy amount of the Budget is
accounted for by the circumstance of the whole ex-
penditure of the kingdom having been classed
under one head, but that, nevertheless, great
economy will be introduced into various depart-
ments of the State, and even should the expenditure
increase it will be covered by the means at the disposal
of the Government, without resorting to any fresh
loan. That the present loan will bring all on a regular
footing, not only for the year 1840 but for every suc-
ceeding year.
The loan of fifty-six millions is raised for the fol-
lowing purposes .—To the liquidation of forty millions
due to the Netherland Trading Company ; the pay-
ment of ten millions of debt, and for the Sinking Fund
of 1840 four millions.

The statement of the affairs of the United States

ber, has caused some excitement in the City, and va-
rious opinions are formed on the subject. The great
question is whether the dividends will be paid on the
10th January next.

Mr. Le Dieu, one of the Secretaries of the Mas-
ter of the Rolls, was this morning sworn in before his
Lordship as Chief Usher of the Court of Chancery, in
the room of the late Richard Critchett, Esq. This
office, which is in the gift of the Master of the Rolls,
is not only one of emolument and honour, but we be-
lieve, of great antiquity.
