DUTCH AND .GERMAN MAIL

THE HAGUE, APRIL 9.—lt is said that the personal
.ax, as it is called, will be levied for the year 1841,
1842, on the same footing as for 1840, 1841 ; that is,
according to the existing laws ; and consequently that
the project of law lately brought before the Second
Chamber will not be carried into effect till the next
financial year.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 12.—The report given by some
papers that the Crown was transferred to the present
King, on the condition that the concordat of 1837
should be carried into effect, is without foundation.
FRANKFORT, APRIL 6.—lt may now be pretty con-
fislently affirmed that her Majesty the Empress of Russia
will embark at Kronstadt for Lubeck at the beginning
of June, and probably accompanied by her Imperial
Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandria. They will
go to Emms, the waters of which have had so favour-
able an effect on her Majesty's health.
BERLIN, APRIL B.—The opinion of our revered King
respecting the commercial treaty with Holland, has led
the Customs' Union to come to a favourable decision
last week, to give notice on the Ist July of the expira-
tion of the Convention, so that it will expire on the Ist
January 1842. Thus the German merchants are re
lieved from another cause of alarm.
FRANKFORT, APRIL B.—Vehement complaints are
made of the Stade duties. It seems that the hope of
seeing the Hanoverian flag treated, in Belgium, on a par
with that of the most favoured nation, on a promise of
reciprocity on the part of Hanover, is not very great,
because the opinion gains ground in Brussels that the
Hanoverian declarations of reciprocity are illusory, be-
cause no mention whatever is made of the Stade or
Braunsbausen duties.
HAMBURGH, APRIL 9.—We have some account from
Stallung, that on Saturday, 3d April, about half-past
three in the afternoon, an uncommonly smart shock of
an earthquake was felt in almost all Jutland. The
houses trembled, and the furniture was thrown down in
some places, especially TListed and Logstov ; walls were
cracked, and chimneys were thrown down.
TRIESTE, APRIL 2.—'l'he letters from Alexandria
of the 17th ult., and from Constantinople of the 21. t
ult. received to-day, bring nothing decisive respecting
the Egyptian question, and they all express a hope that
in spite of the councils of the British Ambassador the
Representatives of the other great Powers at Constan-
tinople will induce the Porte to modify the hatti-
sacra.
The troubles in Samos and Candia appear not to
have been so serious as they were represented. It is
hoped that a few Turkish ships of war, which arrived
at Tachesme on the 15th of March, to take troops and
convey them to Samos, will suffice to restore order in
that island. We have letters from Candia of the sth
and the 22d. One of the first date says—" About a
hundred individuals arrived from the Morca in our
island, and endeavoured to excite the inhabitants against
the Turkish Government ; they met with most encourage-
ment from some hot-headed Greeks who joined them.
Three English ships of war sufficed to keep the rebels
in awe, and as the Consular authorities did their ut-

b, A
second letter
of the 22d speaks of business being re=amed in the
principal markets of the island, and concludes with the
following words :—" There are now eight Turkish men-
of-war, viz., two frigates, three corvettes, and three
brigs, with 2,500 regular troops. At Andron, in the
harbour of Suds, likewise an English ship of the line,
a frigate, and a brig. Three more English men-of-war
were expected from Marmoriaza or Malta, besides the
Austrian Commodore Bandiera will soon arrive with
his squadron ; so that we hope our tranquillity will not
be again interrupted."—Allgemeine Zeitung, April 9.

HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.-.....Pit VA TE
RUN.--His Royal Highness Prince Albert basing ex-
pressed a wish to have a private hunt with the Royal
Buckhounds before the termination of the season, orders
were cor.se.quently conveyed to Lord Kinnaird to have the
hounds in readiness in the Great Park at Windsor at
twelve on Wednesday morning. The deer having been
uncarted, and the usual law expired, the hounds were laid
on, and the Prince and his attendants immedirvely
hissed in close pursuit. The deer went away in excellent
style, leading his pursuers over a great portion of the
Park. His Royal Highness was attired in proper hunting
c..stume, and mounted on one of his favourite hunters,
which carried him over several leaps, which the Prince
seemed to take a ith more confidence than be has displayed
on former occasions. The run did not last longer than
half an hour, and the Prince and his attendants had re-
turned to the Castle before one o'clock.

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS EXECUTIONER.—
even a lon
The Vigie de Morbiban relates that at a late competition
for the vacant post of executioner at Bourges, the suc-
cessful candidate was an M.D., who had acted as assistant
to the executioner at Vannes. " This person," it adds,
" is a bachelor in letters, and has united with his above
publicoffice
the exercise of the medical profession, for
which he has a diploma as an nfficier de sante, and had
to relinquish his latter actice, bnt be nevered, declar- ,
g list of patients. The authorities wished him
leg somewhat sarcastically that h
rendered the • with that of
. medical profession incompatible
executioner."

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India-house, when the thanks of the Court were voted
unanimously to Mr. William Butterworth Bayley, Chair-
man, and Mr. George Lyall, Deputy Chairman, for their
Crest application and attention to the affairs of the East
India Company during the past year.
MUTINY ON BOARD THE BELLE POULE.—
The Journal de Cherboury of the I 1 th inst. state-4, that
in consequence of riotous conduct on shore, the crew
of the Belle Poule (the Prince de Joinvillo's frigate)
had been c,,nfined to their ship. They rushed out, how-
ever, in a body, and having forced the dock-yard gate, dig-
persed throughout the country, where they were very
qu ekly arrested by the marine gendarmerie, and brought
back to their former quarterv.
RECENT ORDER,--A general order has been
i to the troops stationed in Ireland, that in future,
when escorting prisoners, the oldest and steadiest soldiers
be placed in the van and rear guard, and that no commu-
nication whatever be permitted to take place between the
prisoners under escort and the civilians ; arid that interfe-
rence be repelled with the point of the bayonet. It is also
ordered, that on the military reaching the gaols or bride-
wells, the destination of the prisoners, old and steady
soldiers be detached, and placed in such positions as will
protect the escort from the intrusion of the mob, and that
they are in no instance to suffer an intruder within the
reach of their musket and bayonet with impunity.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager will leave
Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire, on Monday or Tuesday next,
for Marlborough House. Her Majesty is expected to be
Present at the Ancient Concert, on Wednesday evening ,
next, at the Hanover-square Rooms.
