AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 19.—Letters from Berlin of the
12 h iustant, informs us (the Handelsblad) that Her Ma-
jesty the E ,press of Russia is severely indisposed.
NIMEGUEN, AUGUST 15. —For some days past work-
men are bu,iiy employed in removing the guns from the
walls of this fortress.
THE HAGUE, AUGUST IS.--Their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess Albert of Prussia are expected
about the 20th of this mcnth. Prince Henry went yes-
tereay to Flushing, but intends to return by the 22d of
this month
We hear that the opening of the railroads to Haarlem,
which was to take place on the 24th of this month, has
been necessarily put off from want of the several locomo-
tives that were to have corn, from England, which delay
must chiefly be attributed to the disturbances in that
kingdom, and especially in districts went those engines
are manufactured. It is hoped, however, that intelligence
of their being sent off may he hourly expected, when they
will soon arrive, and be employed here, as everything is

The Courier of last evening comments, in the following
erms, on the Session which is new fast approaching- its
close :—" Parliament will in a few days be prorogued,
Led the pitiful Ses.sion of 1839 will have closed. We did
relieve, at this time last year, that the Session of 1838
lad reached the extreme of worthlessness, but the expe-
rience of the last six months has shown that we were in
•rror. Is it possible, we will now ask, that the interests

the country can be trifl...d with in the same manner

'or another year, and that the same farce will be gone
hrough again in 1840, of bringing some 61'0 Commoners,
tad some three hundred Peers up to London, to amuse
hemselves, at the public expense. by playing at cross pur-
poses with one another ? Such will, we f,•ar, be the case, un-
,ess some demonstration be made in the meantime by the
people, indicative of a determin ,tion to b- trifled with no
,onger. The blame of this state of things is frequently laid
upon Ministers, nor is it our intention altogether to acquit
them, but the chief blame rests with the people themselves."
The Globe, in the course of an article on the Slave
Trade Suppression Bill, thus alludes to the demoralising
ifects of that traffic:—" The tendency of the Slave-trade
o transform men into monsters has been often shown.
The proverbial humanity of British seamen was forgotten,
tad indeed unknown, among the vessels employed in the
African Slave-trade, while that trade disgraced our nation.
The evidence taken before the House of Commons, in order
to show its influence on the moral fe.-lings of the crews en-
,,,aged in that horrid traffic, astonished and disgusted the
whole nation, and produced a feeling of national degrada-
,ion that such atrocities were perpetrated under the British
flag. But those disclosures, horrible as many of them
were, sink into insignificance when placed in comparison
with a fact Lord Minto stated in the debate on Monday
evening, from which it appeared that the Portuguese slave-
traders, in order to deter our cruisers from interferinc, with
their vessels, bad actually concerted a diabolical d. sign,
and had given instructioas to carry it into effect, to poison
by wholesale the crews of British vessels which might in.
tercept them."
The Standard makes the following allusion to the debate
on the Bolton Police Bill, last night in the House of
Lords:_" The debate disclosed an agreeable sample of
the mode resorted to by Ministers for the suppression of
Chartism. ' Set a thief to catch a thief,' says the pro-
verb; but we doubt if its interpretation can be so far
strained as to justify the appointment of a Chartist Magi-
strate for the more effectual suppression of Chartist out-
rages. The excuse of Lord Melbourne was, that the facts
stated by Lord Lyndhurst had nothing to do with the
question of whether Bolton should have a Police Bill or
not; but even if this were true, they have a great deal to
do with the disturbances in all parts of the country which
have rendered an increase of the police force necessary.
In order that the peace of Bolton might be duly preserved,
the Government appointed the Mayor, one of the most
zealous Chartists in the town, a Justice of the Peace ; who,
in his turn, as might readily have been foreseen, took care
that his constables should be of the same kidney."

VIENNA, AUG. 11. —The Russian Ambassador Von
Tutecheff, is expected here every moment. It seems that
Count Ftquilmort, the Austrian Ambassador at St. Pe-
tersburgh, will not return to his post for some time, for he
is gone to Switzerland, and will go then to Aix, where his
lady is for the benefit of the waters. It is believed here
that the Hungarian Diet will he shortly diaolved.—Ail.

MONTENEGRO, JULY 31 —The late predatory incursions
of the Montenogrins against the Spizzanets, in the Pa-
chalick of Scutari (in which they were guilty of a gross
violation of the Austrian territory) has totally failed.
The Slizzanets were well prepared, and received the rob-
hers with a well directed fire of musketry, which they did not
long hold out against ; they endeavoured to retreat as quickly
as 1 ossible, avoiding the Austrian territory (lest they should
get between two fires) ; they have however been guilty of a
new excess, breaking into the Austrian territory to plun-
der. But the Chasseurs stationed there received them as
they well deserved, and compelled them to retire over
the frontiers, which the Chasseurs, according to agree-
ment, did not attempt to pass. We cannot conceive why
no serious measures have been adopted against these un-
ceasing affronts.
The treaty lately concluded between Vladika and the
Pasha of Scutari is not ratified by the Shirks of Podgo-
riza, Ipusch, &c., who affirm that the Pacha has unlaw-
fully and unnecessarily sacrificed them and their territory.
The old enmities therefore still predernimate.
WARSAW, AUGUST 11.—Princess Pa skiewitch and her
two daughters set out yesterday for the baths at Erms.
The Adjutant-General, Count S:rogonoff, arrived here
last night from Moscow. We had lately a dreadful
thunder storm, just at the moment when a great number
of persons going to bathe in the Vistula were on the river
in boats, on which occasion about twenty persons were
drowned.
ODESSA, AUG 2.—The journal of this town says :
" Several foreign journals have announced that the new
Sultan, soon after his accession to the throne, had revoked,
or at least suspended, the measure relative to quarantine,
prescribed by Sultan Mahmoud. This report was circulated
likewise in this town, but the captains of ships who have
lately arrived from Constantinople directly assure us that it
is utterly destitute of foundation."—Journal de Frankfort,

POCKET-PICKING.—At Bow-street Police-of-
fice on Tuesday morning three lads, named Hutley, Stur-
geon, and Dodd, were placed at the bar, charged with at-
tempting to pick the pockets of gentlemen in the Strand.
The first-named prisoner was seen to follow a gentleman
from Hungerford Market to Temple Bar, and to make fre-
quent attempts to get hold of his pocket-handkerchief, but
without success. The other two prisoners were close at his
heels, ready to receive and make away with the booty.
They were committed to prison for three months, with hart.
labour. Two other lads v,ere also ordered to receive the
same punishment for carrying on the same trade in Long
Acre.
