JUST CONCLUDED BETWEEN GREAT BRI-
TAIN AND THE KING OF THE NETHER-
LANDS.
(From the Official Gazette, Nederlandsche Stoats Courant.)
THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.—We, William, by the grace of
God, King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange Nassau,
Grand Duke of Luxemburg, on the report of our Minister
for Foreign Affairs of the 22d of this month, No. 12, have
thought fit to order that the Treaty of Commerce and Navi-
ation concluded on the 27th of October, 1837, between the
Netherlands and Great Britain, and ratified by us on the 16th
of November following, shall be included in the official paper.
" And this resolution shall likewise be printed in the offi-
cial paper, and copies sent to the Department of Foreign
Affairs, Marine, the Interior, and Finance, for their informa-
tion.

(Here follows the treaty, in Dutch and English.)
" Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland on the one part, and his Majesty the King
of the Netherlands on the other part, being equally desirous
of affording every facility and encouragement to their subjects
engaged in commercial intercourse with each other, and being
of opinion that nothing will more contribute to the attainment
of this desirable object than a reciprocal abrogation of all dis-
criminating and countervailing duties levied upon the ships of
the high contracting parties, or upon the cargoes of such ships
in the ports of either kingdom in Europe, have appointed their
Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Convention for that purpose ;
that is to say—
" Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, Sir Edward Cromwell Disbrowe, Knight
Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, her
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to his Ma-
jesty the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemburg,
and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, John Gisbert,
Baron Verstolk de Soelen, member of the body of Nobles of
the provinces of Holland, Knight Grand Cross of the Orders of
the Netherlands Lion and Saint Stephen and Hungafy, his
Minister of State, holding the Department of Foreign Affairs,
who, after having communicated to each other their respective
full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed
upon and concluded the following articles :
" Art. I.—There shall be reciprocal liberty of commerce
and navigation between and amongst the subjects of the two
high contracting parties, and the subjects of the two sovereigns
respectively shall not pay in the ports, harbours, roads, cities,
towns, or places whatsoever, in either kingdom, any other or
higher duties, taxes, or imposts under whatsoever names de-
signated or included, than those which are there paid by the
subjects of the most favoured nations ; and the subjects of
each of the high contracting parties shall enjoy the same rights,
privileges, liberties, favours, immunities and exemptions in
matters of commerce and navigation, that are granted or may
hereafter be granted in either kingdom to the subjects of the
most favoured nations.
" No duty of customs, or other imposts, shall be charged
upon any goods the produce of one country upon importation
by sea or by land, from such country into the other, higher
than the duty or impost charged upon goods of the same kind,
the produce of or imported from any other country ; and her
Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands,
do hereby bind and engage themselves not to grant any favour,
privilege, or immunity in matters of commerce and navigation
to the subjects of any other state, which shall not be also and
at the same time extended to the subjects of the other high
contracting party gratuitously, if the commission in favour of
that other state shall have been gratuitous, and on giving, as
nearly as possible, the same compensation or equivalent in case
the commission shall have been conditional.
" Art. 2. No duties of tonnage, harbour, light houses, pi-
lotage, quarantine, or other similar or corresponding duties of
whatever nature, or under whatever denomination, shall be im-
posed in either country upon the vessels of the other in re-
spect of voyages between the two countries, if laden, or in
respect of any voyage if in ballast, which shall not be equally
imposed in the like cases on national vessels ; and in neither
country shall any duty, charge, restriction, or prohibition, be
imposed upon, nor any drawback, bounty, or allowance, be
withheld from, any goods imported from or exported into the
other country in the vessels of that other country, which shall
not be equally imposed upon or withheld from such goods
when so imported or exported in national vessels.
" 3. In order to avoid any misunderstanding with regard
to the regulations that determine the condition which consti-
tute a British or Dutch vessel, it is hereby agreed that all
vessels built in the dominions of her Britannic Majesty, and
all vessels which, having been captured from an enemy by her
Majesty's ships of war, or by the subjects of her said Ma-
jesty, furnished by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty with letters of marque, shall have been regularly con-
demned in one of her said Majesty's prize courts as a lawful
prize, and all vessels which shall have been condemned in any
competent Court for a breach of the laws made for the pre-
vention of the slave trade, shall, provided they are ordered,
navigated, and registered, according to the laws of Great
Britain, be considered as British vessels ; and that all vessels
built in the territories of the King of the Netherlands, or
which, having been captured from an enemy by his Majesty's
ships of war, or by the subjects of his said Majesty, furnished
with letters of marque, shall have been regularly condemned
in one of the prize courts of the:kingdom of the Netherlands
as a lawful prize, and all vessels which shall have been con-
demned in any competent Court for a breach of the laws made
for the prevention of the slave trade, shall, provided they are
wholly owned by any subject or subjects of the King of the
Netherlands, and provided that the master and three-fourths of
the crew arc Netherland subjects, be considered as Nether-
land vessels.
" Art. 4. It is further agreed, that in all cases where in
either kingdom th'6 duty to be levied upon any goods imported
shall not be a fixed rate, but a proportion of the value of the
goods, such ad valorem duty shall be ascertained and secured
in the following manner—that is to say, the importer shall, on
making his entry far the payment of the duty at the custom-
house o: either country, sign a declaration, Etatiug the valise of
such goods at such amount as he shall deem proper ; and in
case the respective officer or officers of the customs should be
of opinion that such valuation was insufficient, he or they shall

be at liberty to take the goods impolite the
value according to his declare; the addition.
of 10 per cent., and on returni Theetnauntj
f these sums to be paid by the said office _ or on ttri
delivery of the goods to him or them, which int4o4 'lrfilbiltta
15 days from the first detention of the goods.
" Art. 5. Forasmuch as all merchandise, of whatever
origin, whether admissible for home consumption or not. may
be received and warehoused in all the portsbf the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which are by law
appointed to be warehousing ports for such articles pending
the entry of the same, either for home consumption, or for
re-exportation, as the case may be, under the regulations ap-
pointed for this purpose, and without such articles being liable
in the mean time to the payment of any of those duties with
which they would be charged if upon arrival they were entered
for consumption within the United Kingdom ; in like manner
the King of the Netherlands consents and agrees that all the
ports of his Netherlands Majesty's dominions, which are now,
or which shall hereafter become warehousing ports by law,
shall be free ports for the reception and warehousing of all
merchandise imported in British ships, and of all articles
whatever, the produce or manufacture of the British dominions,
in whatever ships imported, either for home consumption or for
re-exportation, as the case may be, and the articles thus re-
ceived and warehoused, subject to due regulations, shall not
be liable in the mean time to any of the duties with which
they would be charged if they were entered for consumption
on their arrival in the Netherlands.

I " Art. 6. If any ships of war or merchant vessels shall be
wrecked on the coasts of either of the high contracting parties,
such ships or vessels, or all parts thereof, and all furniture and
apFurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and mer-
chandise which shall be saved therefrom, or the produce
thereof, if sold, shall be faithfully restored to the proprietors,
upon belch; claimed by them, or by their duly authorised fac-
tors ; and it there arc no such propri ators or factors on the
spot, then the said goods and merchandise, or the proceeds
thereof, as well es all the papers found on board such wrecked
ships or vessels, sioll be delivered to the British or Nether-
lands consul in whose district the wreck may have taken place,
and such consul, proprietors, or factors shall pay only the• ex-
penses incurred in the preservation of the property, together

like case of a wreck of a national vessel, and the goods and
merchandise saved from the wreck shall not be subject to
duties, unless cleared for consumption.

ten years from the date hereof, and funtber until the end of
twelve months after either of the contractfvg parties shall have
given notice to the other of his intention to terminate the
same, each of the high contracting parties reserving to itself
the right of giving such notice to the other at the end of tho
said term of ten years.
" And it is hereby agreed between them that at the expira-
tion of twelve months after such notices shall have been re-

provisions thereof, shall altogether cease and determine.
" Art. 8. The present treaty shall he ratified, and the rati.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 25.—Marshal Maison arrived at Brussels
yesterday from Germany.
A considerable rise in the premiums of insurance is re-
marked in all places where insurances arc effected, and a ship
which is not known or not of the first class, cannot get insured
without paying, at the least, a double premium. It is to be
hoped that this improvement will be felt by the Shareholders
of Insurance Companies, who have suffered severely by so many
disasters.
The following notice informs us that the schism is completed
in the diocese of Cologne by the measures which the metropo-
litan Chapter has just adopted :
" NOTICE.

" In consequence of the notice of the department of Ec-
clesiastical Affairs of Justice of the Interior and Police, of the
15th November, 1837, notice is hereby given that the Metro-
politan Chapter of this city has accepted the administration
par interim of the Archiepiscopal Diocese of Cologne, and has
resolved to proceed in the time of eight days fixed by the
Canons, to the election of a Vicar.

" Supreme President of the Rhenish Provinces.
" Cologne, Nov. 21, 1837."
The Chamber of Deputies continues to discuss the law re-
lative to the Military School. Only the first article has yet
been agreed to :
Art. I. A Military School is established, and in one of the
fortresses of the kingdom. The object of the Military School
is to form officers for the Infantry, the Cavalry, the Artillery,
the Engineers, the Staff, and the Navy.
The second article, enumerating the subjects to be taught,
gives rise to very long and warm debates.
CONSTANTTNOPLE, NOV. I.—Derwis h Pacha, formerly
Grand Vizier, and late Superintendent of the Hcly Cities, is
dead.
Kiamil Bey, Colonel of the Bombardiers, is ra'sed to the
rank of Pacha:of one tail (Brigadier-General), End his also
received the appointment of Ambassador to Berlin. He is the
same Kiamil Bcy who was sent on an important mission to
Bosnia and A'batia, and was afterwards appointed by the Porte
Mebmander to attend the Prince of Servia on his journey to
the frontier.
Refat Bey, the newly appointed Turkish Ambassa for to the
Court of Vienne, has been made Councillor of S ate in the
department of Foreign Affairs.
The Turkish squadron under the command of the Capitan
Pacha has been at anchor ever since the 29th of October off
Tenedos, waiting for a fair wind to return to the capital.
VIENNA, Nov. 10.—The Austrian Observer gives the de-
tails of the laying of the first stone of the new ed flee of the
Niechitavists in the suburb of St. Ulrich. Their Imperial
Majesties were received by the archbishop, abbots, and clergy
of the Congregation, and proceeded to the refectory, where a
numerous company of the Archdukes and Duchesses and other
persons of rank was assembled. Their Majesties inspected
the plans and the portions of the buildings already finished,
and the Archbishop, in an impressive speech, expressed the
gratitude of the Congregation for the favour which it had al-
ways received from the Imperial family. It was first received
by Maria Theresa into her dominions, and when obliged to
leave Trieste in 1810, obtained from Francis I. an asylum at
Vienna, and has been enabled, under the present reign, to
found its new establishment, the sole object oF which is to
educate Catholic Missionaries for the cast, and to promote
religion and learning by means of its printing-office. All
the ceremonies of laying the first stone being completed, their
Majesties and the illustrious company went to the printing-
office, where fifteen presses were at work ; at the first, a Ger-
man poem composed for the occasion was presented to their
Majesties; at the second, an Armenian Prayer from the Ori-
ental Liturgy ' • and at the following presses the same Prayer
cast in a different language. As their Majesties returned,
they received the prayer in other languages, and at the last
press two Latin poems. Besides the German and Latin
poems, the above-mentioned prayer had been printed in their
Majesties' presence in 23 Oriental and European languages.
Their Majesties and the Archduke expressed their great sa-
tisfaction with this fine establishment.
HANOVER, Nov. 18.—On the 16th of this month the depu-
ties chosen by the Curiae of the several provincial assemblies,
had the happiness to be presented to her Majesty the Queen,
and his Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

STATE OF TRADE.—In the early part of the
present week the cloth and yarn market showed a very consi-
derable improvement. printers are fully 3d. per piece higher
than last week. Yarns abound. to -4d. higher. Fustians
Id. to 14d. advance. Large enders during the week have
been received from America, which have tended greatly to in-
crease the confidence of the manufacturer. On the other
hand, the accounts from Bombay and Calcutta are discourag-
ing. The late commercial derangement has begun to mani-
fest its effects, and the consequence was that at the former
place the exchange had fallen from 2.5. 2d. to Is. 9d. the
rupee, and at the latter from 2s. 4d. to 2i. Several vessels
are announced as having sailed with little or no cargo.
Freights, in consequence, very low.—Manchester Times.
Within the last twenty years the progress of the
cotton mauufacture in this country has been so rapid, that
the annual consumption of cotton has increased from 230,000
to 1,000,000 bags.—Liverpool Chronicle.
BALLOT.—Within the last week, a numerously-
signed requisition has been got up in this town, upon the all-
important subject of the Ballot. This requisition respectfully
calls the Mayor to convene a meeting, at an early opportunity,
for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature upon the subject.
Such a requisition as the ono to which we have adverted,
could not have been got up this town two years ago. Public
opinion has progressed in the right direction mightily since
then. Thanks to the Tories, the remembrance of tho last
Borough election—the naked tyranny that was exercised by
them—the unscrupulous means which they resorted to the
lavish expenditure to tempt on the one band, and the intimi-
dating threat to deter on the other—and the debasing and de-
moralising practices which they adopted to render the lessdis-
criminating voters subservient to their nefarious and unconsti-
tutional designs, have convinced hundreds of the necessity of
the Ballot, who could not be persuaded that there was a pro-
fligacy in human nature capable of perpetrating such enormi-
ties as those which disgraced that election,—Sunderland
Herald.
Ott Friday Mr. B. L. Clarkson, an extensive
woollen-manufacturer of Alverthorpe, near Wakefield, was
convicted under the regulations of the Factory Act of giving
false certificates to children under thirteen years of age, of
their having attended the school for the required number of
hours per day, knowing the same to be false, and fined 101.
and costs, the inspector having withdrawn all but one infor-
mation. Mr. K. J. Saunders, the inspector of factories,
stated, in answer to a question, that the fines under the Fac-
tory Act should accumulate to form a fund for the purpose of
endowing a school for the education of children working in
manufactories.—Halifax Guardian.
