THE DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 20.—The Prince of Orange has
already returned from Flushing, whither he accompanied
his son, Prince Henry, to see him on board the Rhyn
frigate.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 23.—Their Royal Highnesses
the Hereditary Prince and Princesses of Orange set
out this morning at 10 o'clock for Amsterdam. 'Their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Orange;and
Princess Sophia set out at a later hour. Prince Albert
of Prussia will go on Thursday to be present at the ball
which is to take place that evening, and to which,
the diplomatic body, the King's Ministers, the Coun-
cillors of State, and other persons of distinction, are
invited.

AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 23.—The fine weather which
we have had to-day was very favourable for the solemn
entry of their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Prince
and Princess of Orange. The streets were crowded with
people, at an early hour. Their Royal Highnesses, who
arrived about two o'clock, in an open carriage, drawn
by six horses, were welcomed with the most hearty ac-
clamations, which accompanied them to the Palace.
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 24.—The illuminations yester-
day evening exceeded all expectations. All the ideas
that were excited by the preparations were far surpassed
by the reality.
Our Royal guests left the Palace at eight o'clock and
returned about ten, after driving through all the principal
streets. Though the crowd was extremely great we have
not heard of any accidents or disorder.
The drawing-room to-day was extremely brilliant and
crowded. The Hereditary Prince and Princess stood at
the right hand of the Burgomaster.
Little business was done today in Dutch S ock, which,
however, remained firm at yesterday's prices. The
transactions in Spanish Stock had nothing remarkable.
Before the opening of the Exchange, bargains were
made at 28i, at the opening they were at 29 1-16 to
28 3-16, at which prices almost all the sales of to-day
were made.—Dutch Papers, Sept. 23.
HANOVER.--ACCOrdlng to the Westphalian Mer-
cury, the application for the reinstalment of Ruhman
was answered by a refusal, but the Cabinet Minister
only explained to the deputation on the 14th, in the
evening, that his Majesty had been made acquainted
with the matter too late, and had no time to take into
serious consideration what it mentioned ; wherefore his
Majesty could not give the audience in which the
matter was to be brought forward till after his return.

There reigns throughout Sweden much excite-

The celebrated French Deputy, M. Odillori

Reschid Pacha, late Turkish Ambassador at
London and at Paris, arrived at Constantinople on the 4th
inst. in a French steamer from Marseilles. His arrival is
regarded as opportune for Chosrew Pacha, the Grand
Vizier, as his position was but tottering and precarious, in
despite of the recent Ministerial changes in his favour.
A young woman, named Lemazurier, of Vains,
near Avranches, who was about to be married, and three
young mantua-makers who were employed to prepare her
wedding clothes, went together to the sea-side, a few days
since to bathe. Having entered at a place where the
shingle was muchsteeper than they were aware of, and the
tide running strong, they were all carried out to sea and
drowned. Several fishermen were employed all night in
dragging for their bodies, and next morning found that of
the unfortunate fiancee on the strand of Mont Saint Mi.
chel, and that of one of her companions at Point Saint
Leonard. The other two have not been discovered.
Fr6nch Paper.
CONSTANTINOPLE) SEPT. 4.---Perfect tran-
quillity prevails here. The Porte does not seem to place
much reliance on the assurances of the great Powers, and
particularly not on their unanimity, which would be above
all things necessary for them to interfere effectually. It
regrets that it did not abide by its first resolution, and en-
deavour to come to an agreement with Mehemet Ali with-
out foreign intervention. It is reported, indeed, that the
French and English squadrons, which are still off the Dar-
danelles, will shortly proceed to Alexandria to compel the
Viceroy to restore the Ottoman fleet; but this has been
repeated so often without a single ship having moved, that
people begin to doubt it. The English, they are convinced,
would not make much ceremony with Mehemet Ali, but
the French protect him, so nothing is done, because each
party fears to kindle a general war. The position of Me-
hemet is consequently the most favourable in the world.
He need not make any more efforts, and yet may be certain
that all his plans and wishes will be accomplished. He is
fully aware of this, and will not be so foolish as to offer the
slightest concessions, unless he hopes to obtain other ad-
vantages. The situation of the Porte is extremely critical ;
it no longer knows which way to turn ; it is no less anxious
about the friendship of the Powers than fearful of the en-
mity of its pretended vassal ; and is certain of speedy ruin
unless some mieacle intervenes to save it.—A//gemeine Zei-
tung, Sept. 21.
FALSE ALARM IN GIBRALTAR.—(From a
Correspondent.)— On the night of the 7th inst. a fire
broke out in the Main•street, Gibraltar, at a very late
hour. The military were as usual called out, and the
extraordinary noiso and bustle, the sight of all the regi-
ments at that hour, blue lights burning at the signal sta.
tions, officers galloping through the streets, &c., caused
the peaceful inhabitants to believe that Gibraltar had been
taken by storm. The panic that this alarm spread through
the garrison was unparalleled; rusty swords and guns with-
out locks were immediately put into requisition, women
screamed louder than their frightened children, doors and
windows were barricaded, and various parties of soldiers
who attempted to ascertain the cause of the riot, were
put to a speedy retreat by having sundry articles of fur-
niture thrown upon their heads. It was a long time
before the alarmed inhabitants could be assured that a fire
was the only foe to their rest, and on its being extin-
guished by the extraordinary exertions of the military
under the superintendence of the Governor, who pumped
at the engines during the greater part of the night, it
appeared that, instead of the Russians or other enemies
having taken possession of the Rock, a tailor's wife, after
an extraordinary allowance of gin and water, had set her
bed on fire.
BERLIN, SEPT. 18.—The meetings of the
Delegates of the Customs' Union are terminated,
and Dr. Bowring returns to England. He has lef,
Berlin for Leipsic and Frankfort. Report says be
is well satisfied with the result of his mission, and that
he takes back proposals which exhibit the friendly
feeling of this country towards Great Britain. But there
are many who prophesy that your Government, whatever
may be its wishes, has not the power to meet the
overtures of the German States. Nobody expects the t
we should modify our tariff, unless you liberalise yours ;
and the question, therefore, is to be decided by yourselves,
tlitonhsasabreeennoatssewritlelding to
inyoaudrmPit your manufactures, evenarliament that foreign rm•
though you should take their agricultural produce. There
is reason to believe that Dr. Bowring has obtained as-
surances which will extend the markets for your goods, if
your markets are opened to ours. A strong English
alliance is very popular among us; but I need not point
out how essentially it would be strengthened by more inti.
mate commercial relations.
The Bengal Hurkaru of July 15, states that
" Runjeet Singh has bequeathed the celebrated diamond,
the koh.i.nnor, to the temple of Juggernaut, to adorn the
image of the Hindoo deity ;" and suggests, as it was ori.
ginally taken from Shah Soojah, the exiled King of
Cabul, that a case might be made out for claiming it, "
behalf of the original proprietor, for the purpose of beinq
sold to defray a portion of our expenses in replacing him on
the throne of Cabul. The capture of Aden by the British
troops is likely to be purchased at a dear price. It is tole-
rably clear from the last accounts that the possession
of that fortress will be all they can ever expect to
accomplish, and that they are pent up, until some
further move is made, in the most miserable situation
that can possibly be imagined. Some notion of it may be
given by a letter from one of the officers stationed there,
which says, " You have yet to hear, but I trust never to
learn by experience, what it is to
be fixtures at a place of
abode no description can give an idea of. Can you fancy
the crater' of Etna enlarged, and the centre covered with
gravestones and remains of stone huts ; not a tree or shrub
to be seen; volcanic rocks and hills encompass you on
three sides, the sea on the fourth presenting the only out-
let from this € Golgotha ;' and to this abyss we are confined
by the savage tribes around us, who, having possession of
the coast adjacent, by the peninsula of Aden, cut off all
communication ; and since the murder of one of our men,
whom they scalped, we have been ordered to confine our.
selves to the line of ruined wall which forms the barrier
between us and our friendly neighbours."—Times.

AGRICULTURAL DINNER IN

HERTFORDSHIRE.

At St. Alban's, last Tuesday, there was what the
Grandmamma of the press puts down in gigantic letters
as an important county agricultural dinner. It appears
there were a ploughing match and a cattle show, to
feast the eyes of the rustics, both good enough of the
kind ; but the dinner, of course, was the most inte-
resting feature of the day. At this dinner, it is said,
inure than 200 persons sat down. After dinner came
some speeches, as tame and common-place as such Tory
perpetrations usually are.
The Earl of VERULAM, who presided as well as
spoke, amongst other things, said that " he sin-
cerely regretted that he could not congratulate them,
nor the country generally, upon the produce of
he present season, which he feared would be a most
unpropitious one—(Hear, hear)—the harvest, in fact,
generally—in most districts of the country—was de-
cidedly a bad one ; and he feared the interests of the agri-
cultural classes would suffer severely in consequence.—
(Hear, hear.) This, however, should stimulate them
10 use their utmost exertions, and to put their shoulders
actively to the wheel, for by those means alone they
could hope to remedy the evil which the lamentable
deficiency in this year's crop would otherwise produce."

The Hon. Mr. RYDER followed, and then Lord
GRIMSTONE rose, who, after eliuding to the ploughing
match and the cattle-show, a,surcd the Meeting that
however it might be attempted to throw obstacles in
the way of the interests of agriculture in this country,
still it would be found that they were so estimated that
it would be impossible effectually to injure them, whilst
they were sustained by such institutions as that which
they met to support."
Mr. SMITH, the other county Member, joined
with his colleague in thanking 'rile meeting for having
drunk the " Health of the Members for Hertford-
shire." Mr.WHITTENSTALL, then briefly commended the
objects of the meeting, and, after toasting and tippling
to a late hour, the company separated.

CORN-LAW CONsERVATISM IN

THE COUNTRY.

The disposition now so undisguisedly displayed by the
papers under the influence of the " predominant inte-
rest" to invest every word that falls from the Conser-
vative mouth, as well as every morsel that falls into
that very convenient and most capacious receptacle, is
equally amusing and instructive. That the season of
scarcity with which we are threatened, occasions some
alarm amongst the landholdinp- monopolists, is evidenced
by their constantly congregating all over the country,
and endeavouring to enlist the prejudices, the ignorance,
and the bad passions of their respective auditories, in
favour of the Corn-laws—those laws which, ere long, are
likely to produce famine and starvation. In a conspi-
cuous part of a Conservative paper, we see this morn-
ing blazoned forth the following "fixtures" :
The members of the Brill Conservative Association
have their anniversary dinner this afternoon, at the Sun
Inn, at Brill, when the Duke of Buckingham and a nu-
merous party of the influential gentry and yeomanry of
that district are to be present.
The Conservatives of Northampton intend to have a
grand dinner at the George Inn, Northampton, on Mon-
day next, when Sir Robert H. Gunning, Bart., will pre-
side. The list of stewards includes some highly
respectable names, and a good attendance is now placed
beyond doubt by their exertions.
The Conservatives of North Staffordshire have fixed
the 29th of the ensuing month for their annual dinner,
which is to take place at Stone. Viscount Ingestrie,
M.P., has consented to act as chairman.

Several other "demonstrations" at present in embryo,
are likely to take place at the close of the autumn. This
is as it should be, and the Conservatives in the provinces
ought to be " up and doing" since the strengthening of
the Ministry by those Popish and political ranters Shiel
and Macaulay—par nobile fi atrum.
At the recent grand Conservative dinner at Collump-
ton, the repast was served up under a marquee, ren-
dered impervious to the weather, and leaving a gallery
which accommodated 120 ladies.
