DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, JULY 31.—His Majesty has just been
pleased to resolve that direct negotiations, under the su-
perintendence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands at Brus-
sels, shall be opened to regulate all such financial matters
as arc not definitely provided for in the final treaty with
Belgium. The mission is given to M. Borret, Member
of the Council and Commissioner-General in Dutch
Simberg, and M. Von Mesritz, as Secretary.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 2.—With regard to the treaty cf
commerce with France, we learn that ;11 our colonial pro-
ductions may be imported into Alsace, which will give
them a sale among nearly six millions of people. To
this end Metz and Strasbourgare to be declared sea-
ports. It was not easy to make the deputies of the
French sea-ports, who were consulted respecting the
treaty, to agree to this, because Havre and the other
French ports of the north will sustain serious losses of
goods, which hitherto would find their way into France
through those ports only, can henceforward be sent up the
Rhine.

With respect to the reciprocal prohibition of literary
piracy, the principle only bas been recognised, the details
being left for future consideration.
AMSTERDAM, AUG. 3.—The number of travellers on
the railway from Amsterdam to Haarlem continues to in-
crease, which may partly be ascribed to the fine weather.
According to the statement published by the directors
of the Company, the number of passengers between
Amsterdam and Haarlem in the first six months of the
year, was 159,995 ; in July 55,964 ; total 215 959. The
total receipts in these seven months was 105,629 florins.

PREVALENCE OF SUICIDES.—We perfectly
agree with Buonaparte, that suicide is a proof of cowardice,
and that to bear and overcome the difficulties and trials of
life constitutes the true character of courage. If those who
meditate the horrible act of depriving themselves of existence
would but take time to consider the awful wickedness of rush-
ing uncalled into the presence of an offended Deity—if they
would but remember that " none can tell what a day may
bring orj.l"—if they would but cherish in their minds the
precepts o' religion, and bear in remembrance the divine de-
claration, that " God chasteneth whom he loveth,"—if they
would but recollect that " Though the day be nvercast with
dark clouds the morrow may rise in brightness"—we should
not have to lament over the -moral degradation to which our
country is brought by the pi evalence of suicides.—lyarwick

Highness will have the honour of D. C.L. conferred on him by

RAILWAY INQUISITORSHIP.—We believe the
three chief aspirants for the office of inquisitor-general, con-
templated under Lord Seymotir's Bill, are Sir F. Smith, one
of the Railway Commissioners; Captain Moorson, of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Company; and Captain Pringle, of the
South Eastern.—,Railway Iftazine.

In the Lords the Bill underwent alterations in some of its
most material clauses. The people of Ireland are
not to have the English franchise, to which, as subjects of
the same State, they had a legitimate claim. A per-
manent franchise of 101. rated value has been fixed as
the amount which shall confer a right of voting. The
Lord-Lieutenant, and not the Councils, as in England,
is to have the nomination of the Sheriffs ; while other
restrictions imposed on the municipal bodies too plainly
show the reluctance with which municipal rights have,
even wlth these lilnitations, been conceded by the Peers.
The House of Commons, influenced by a desire to
s
terminate the controversy, has agreed to adopt most of

THE
the Lords' Amendments. There are some, however, to
which they have been compelled to withhold an assent.
The measure is as the Bill now stands, to be suspended
on conditions, and in others impeded in its operations
by obstacles created by the amendments, which it would
be perilous to the efficiency of the Bill, were they to

to the consideration of the points on which the final
adoption of the Bill by the other House, in the spirit of
conciliation which the Commons has wisely manifested.
The present is, obviously, no time for widening breaches
by perpetuating the elements of party strife.
(From the Standard.)
There is a conference now in progress between the
Houses of Lords and Commons upon the subject of
the Irish 'Municipal Bill. This is all very silly, not
to say disgusting. Th. Bill has been settled for
weeks. Both parties have resolved upon passing it in
some shape or other, and it little matters in what shape
it passes, except that the worst shape is probably that
which will bring matters the soonest to a solution, and
may therefore he regarded as the best in the end.
The early part of the sitting in the House of
Commons was consumed in complaints of the cruelty
practised upon the Chartist prisoners, and in consider-
ing how to dispose of Mr. John Thorogood. We are
sorry to see the levity with which the complaints of the
Chartists are received on both sides of the House.
They are mistaken and violent in their opinions—we
think they are, they certainly are generally poor men, and
men of humble rank ; but none of these considerations
ought to subject them to those " unusual and cruel pun-
ishments" to which they are subjected, in direct con-
travention of " The Bill of Rights." It may be in-
deed surmised, that there is a sordid pecuniary specula-
tion at the bottom of their political violence ; it is

some aspect to the breeches pocket. The Whigs,
when they poured forth the full tide of treason and se-
dition in 1831 and 1832, were, as their subsequent con-
duct has demonstrated, thinking of nothing but official
salaries, and we cannot understand how the profits of a

(From the Courier.)

Mr. Aglionby last night moved for an bumble address
to the House for a Commission of Inquiry into the alle-
gations inserted by Mr. Feargus O'Connor in his peti-
tion to the House of Commons respecting his treat-
ment in York Castle. Unless those statements are au-
thoritatively denied, there is no real objection why
an inquiry should not be immediately instituted into the
managerrrot of prisons. Of course we are not contem-
plating merely the case of Chartist or any other pri-
soners for political offences, but an enlarged and liberal
inquiry into the regulations which have been introduced
into our gaols, whether experimentally or with an in-
tention to establish them 'permanently. From all that
we can learn it would appear that what is the rule of
one place of confinement is not adopted in another ;
whereas in a country like England nothing is more ne-
cessary than uniformity. The want of this is a sort of
error mainly attributable to the persons whom the
Whig government has placed upon the commission of
the peace. Then, if the statements are wrong respect-
ing the variety of gaol-regulations throughout the king- '
dom, it is a very proper subject of inquiry whether the
regulations for the discipline of prisoners be authorised
by law or not. On this particular ground we approve
of Mr. Aglionby's motion.

The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'Clock.
COURT OF CHANCERY.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a peti-
tion from William Cobbett, the son of the late William
Cobbett, respecting the Court of Chancery Bill. The
petitioner pointed out the inconvenience of receiving
written evidence instead of parole evidence in the Court
of Chancery, and complained of a grievance under which
he laboured in consequence of a suit having been insti-
tuted against him in that Court as the executor of his
father.
Mr. H AWES gave notice that he would next Session
move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law rela-
tive to the medical profession. He would also next Ses-
sion move for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent persons
holding judicial offices from sitting in Parliament.

RIVER WEAVER.
Mr. THORNELY gave notice that he would early
next Session move for a Select Committee to inquire
into the state of the River Weaver, with a view to
ascertain if a reduction of toll could not be made for
the benefit of the public.

Board of Controul when be intended to lay on the
table the Papers relative to the Rajah of Sattara?
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE could not undertake to

make copies of them.

Dr. IsiICHOLL said he would next Session move
