BRUSSELS, JtrLT 6.—The King set out on Tuesday for
Antwerp, by the iron railroad, for the purpose of opening
the canal of Elerenthals, which, say the Antwerp pipers,
is the greatest work, next to the iron railroad; that has
been executed in Belgium since the revolution. The canal
is ten leagues in length, deep enough for vessels pf severity
tons burden, and was expected to prove highly advanta-
geous to the district called La Campine.
Tire King returned by the iron railroad from Antwerp,
and reached the Palace of Laeken last night at 10 o'clock.
M. de Potter has been for some days at Brussels, wli( re
he intends to fix his residence, arid to continue his work on
the Church.

The Antwerp Papers give long accounts of the recep-
tion given to his Majesty, the brilliant illuminations, Sze.
There have been for some days tumultuous assemblages
in the market.places, on account of the high price of
vegetables. Yesterday morning, at half past three o'clock,
numerous police officers were stationed at the gates and
in the avenues to the market, who hit:tiered the country
people from selling their productions on the way, as they
wanted to do, and compelled th?m to go to the markets.
It seems that many of the country people, instead of bring-
ing their vegetables into the city, offered them for ,a►,-
from door to door in the suburbs. I❑ a short time the
effervescence among the people was such es to create some
uneasiness. Happily nothing was attempted to troubk
public order, or in violation of the rights f property.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 3.—The report that h is been in cir.
culation for some days, of the appointment of his Excel
lency the Secretary of State, Baron Van Doorn Van West-
kapell, to the high dignity of Governor. General of our
East India possessions, appears to be confirmed. M. J
C. Baud, Counsellor of State, is spoken of as his succes-
sor in his present post.
STETTIN, JUNE 30 —The Grand Duke Alexander ar-
rived here this forenoon, and immediately went on board
the Ischora steam-boat, which was waiting to convey him
to St. Petersburg.

SUGAR. -In the prices of West India Muscovadoes
Sugar little variation has taken place this week, but the

importers as have been inclined to realise, have
been compell.d to submit to rather lower prices ;

including a public sale of 130 blitts Barbadoes, which sold

sold by private treaty at 36s 6d for good.
1 TALLOW.-New Tallow to arrive, was at 475, at which
a fair business was done, but the demand has since been
slackened-prices are the same. On the spot the best
PY. C. can be obtained at 475. At public sale a large
quantity of Odessa was offered, a small portion only sold
it 46s a 46s 6,1 per cwt.

all bought in at 59s 6d a 63s 6d per cwt.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. -Considerably activity
is still shown in the Rum market, the demand continues
principally for strong Jamaica, about 600 puns of which
have changed hands, and the prices paid are Id above
those of last week, 26 to 30 per cent, proof fetching
53 10d a 6s, 32 to 34 over 6s Id a 6s 2d, 36 to 37 over
s 3d a 64 4d, 38 to 40 over 63 scl a 6s 6d, superior marks
up to 6s 6d. Strong Demerara is also dearer, but Lee-
wards of low strength remain stationary ; the purchases
amount to 400 puns, proof to 2 per cent overproof at 3s 7d
a 3s Bd, 5 to 8 over 3s 9d a 3s 103, 9 to 12 over 3s lld
a4s Id, 13 to 15 over 4s 2d a 4s 3d, 16 to 18 over 4s 43
a 4s sd, 19 to 25 over 4s 7d a ss, 26 to 28 5s abs 4d.
Brandy has sold more freely, and prices are rather higher.
Geneva is in steady request at the quotations. British
Corn Spirits as last quo`ed.
Rtes. -Bengal has sold more freely at last week's rates,
at auction 5,900 bags went 13s 6d a 14s 60 for low to
good middling white, in Java and Madras few sales have
been made.
This afternoon 1,149 bags Java at aution sold at lOs 6d
a 12s 6d per cwt.
TEA.-The market has at length assumed a more lively
appearance; by private contract large purchases have been
made in the low descriptions of Congou and Hyson for
home consumption ; some sales have also been made in the
former for exportation, and prices rather above those of
the last auctions have been obtained. At public sale
19,952 packages, or 1,416,300 lbs of Tea, have been of-
fered, which attracted a fair attendance of the trade; of
these the quantity sold is about 9,200 packages, and of the
remainder about 2,000 were summarily withdrawn.
Common Congous show an advance of id to Id
per lb en the prices that were obtainable at the sales
of last month, and the finer qualities have met with a more
ready sale than they have latterly. Twankays are id to
Id, and hysons are Id to lid per lb higher, and nearly
all other descriptions brie been influenced in some degree
by the improved tone of the market, the latter part of the
sales showing a decided advance upon the commencement.
Of Young Hyson none has been offered, and none is to
be had in the market under Is Sid or Is 7d. Souchong
is getting more in favour. Imperial and Gunpowder of
fine quality are getting scarce, but of ord sorts of a blue
glazed leaf, which are not better than Twankay in liquor,
the stock is large, and prices remain low. Bohea com-
mand high rates in comparison with Congou, the supply
being small ; the consumption is, however, on the decrease
for this kind of Tea.
