FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. s.—The Members of the First
Chamber of the States-General are summoned for Tues-
day, the 14th of September instant.
TEE HAGUE, SEPT. 6.—The Utricht Courant has the
following article :—" It is perhaps not generally known
how soon, probably this very year, it will be possible to
perform the voyage to our West India colonies and back
very speedily and regularly. A Company, .called the
Royal Mail Steam Company for the West Indies, has
been formed in England, which has contracted with th. e
Government orthe Netherlands to include Surinam in
its arrangements. In September this year, six or more
fine steamboats will be sent from Dartmouth to the
several destinations; towards the middle of October three
steamers will be ready at Barbadoes, to wait for the Eng-
lish mail, and within six hours after its arrival a steamer
will be despatched. o, Demerara, and Surinam,
a second to Antig homas, and the third to St.
Lucia and the nort . The steamers stop two
or three days at P , and return by way of De-
merara, &c. Thus it wil e possible to come from Para-
maribo by way of Barbadoes, Dartmouth, and London to
Rottterdam, in three weeks ti or forty or fifty pounds
sterling, and this twice in t th."
TEE HAGUE, SEPT. 5.—A ;`'valuable present from
the King of the French to the ' incr of the Netherlands
tri,ived here to-day ;itis a porcelain table of the cele-
brated manufactory of Scores, adorned with a most beau-
tiful painting by one of the first masters.
His Excellency Baron Verstolk has declined the 3,000
florins per annum allotted to him as table-money.
The Handtlithd says—" We were greatly surprised
to learn from the Nimeguen Courant, the falsehood of the
report of the arrival of the Countess of Outremont in
this country. Scarcely four-and-twenty hours had elapsed
after the spreading of the report, when we were over-
whelmed with letters from different parts of the kingdom,
all representing in different degrees the bad impression
which the supposed arrival of the Countess of Nassau
had made on the public. We confess that we believed
that the ill-feelings- caused by the marriage were more
allayed than they really are, the excitement and aversion
which are manifest in all the communications which we
have.e
received are vrry great, and would doubtless have
dto severe consequences if the plan of a journey to
Holland
had really been carried into effect. All those
who, like
us, desire the welfare of the House of Orange,
and of the country, will be convinced that the interest of
both would have been wantonly endangered if the report
in question had proved true.
APELDOORN, SEPT. 2.—Though his Majesty the
Count of Nassau will certainly not come to the Loo this
autumn, yet his Majesty seems to have an intention to
reside there occasionally, for a pension has been lately
granted to the former physician of his Majesty's house-.
hold, on the condition that he shall reside at Apeldoorn,
or the Loo, to attend the household in case of his Ma-
jesty's arrival at the Loo.
The Prussian State Gazette has the following news
from St. Petersburgh :—" In the night of the 22d of this
month the great hall of St. George, in the imperial.win-
ter palace (which was rebuilt a year and a half ago), fell
down, and in its fall totally destroyed the valuable
paintings, statues, vases, &c. The damage is estimated
at several millions of roubles ; happily no lives were lost.
It seems that the other parts of the palace received no
injury. The Chapter of the Russian order had met
only the day before in the same hall.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 5.—A letter from Dusseldorf of the
Ist instant, announces that the whole section of the iron
railroad from that town to Elberfeld was opened on that
day, amidst the rejoicing of an immense multitude of
spectators.

It seems that it is intended to open the Session of the
Chamber a month earlier than usual. They will meet, it is
said, about the middle of October, but it does not appear
yet decided whether the King will open the Session in
person.

BRUSSELS, SErr. 6.—Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Co-
burg, accompanied by the young prince his son, and an
Aid-de-camp, arrived at Leige on the 4th instant from
Cologne, on his way to Compiegne.
The Echo du Luxembourg says, " The continued fine
weather has dispelled all apprehension respecting the
harvest. All the corn isthoused. The quantity is abundant,
and the quality not at all inferior to that of last year.
We are convinced that unless exportation to a great ex-
tent should take place, the price of corn will fall consi-
derably. At the last market at Arlen, wheat of last
year's crop was sold at only 17 francs per hestelite.

received 31., and the others proportionate amounts. On
Tuesday the whole party paraded the town in flies, the
utmost good humour prevailing amongst the party.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—
We believe we are right in saying, that this is the best
tnanaged railway (as respects the cost of working) in
the kingdom. By the last official statement, it is shown
that the total cost, including Government duty, is only 25
per cent. upon the receipts.—Lancaster Guardian.
EMIGRATION.--There arc three ships at Loch-
tnaddy, North Uist, taking in emigrants from the neigh-
bouring parishes of Harris and South Uist, for Cape
Breton. The Earl of Dunmore gives one pound sterling
a-116d to the most destitute families from hisproperty.-
