DUTCFI AND GERMAN MAIL.

We have received papers from Amsterdam to the 7th
of August. We hear that the Minister of the Interior
has laid down some regulations for the delivery of certifi-
cates of origin for goods destined for the Dutch colonies,
with a view positively to ascertain whether the manufac-
tories, and manufacturers named in the certificates are
really such as they are represented ; whether they are
of such a nature and extent as are calculated to produce
the quantity and qualities of goods named in the certifi-
cates ; and whether the goods have been wholly manu
factored by the manufacturers and in the establishments
mentioned, or whether they have only undergone a
slight and last finishing.
Papers from the Hague up to the 6th August state that
Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, who had been here for some days,
had yesterday a brilliant assembly at the Hotel Bellevue.
Mr. Joseph Gurney, who accompanied her, described to
the company the state of the reform among the negroes
in West Indies, and was listened to with much attention.
Mrs. Fry communicated many particulars respecting the
prisons which she has visited in various countries, which
made a great impression on the hearers.
THE HAGUE, AUG. B.—Mrs. Fry yesterday paid se-
veral visits, to take leave, among others, to his Excel-
lency the Minister of the Interior.

i THE WEATHER.—The weather maintains a
variable character, and much rain fell during the past
week. On Thursday last it rained, Friday and Saturday
were fine, but early on Sunday heavy showers fell. Yes-
terday we had showers and sunshine alternately. The
crops, however, we are glad to say, have not sustained so
much injury as might have been anticipated ; the oats
have suffered most, so far as we have seen, but the wheat
has escaped without being laid to any extent.—Edin-
burgh Advertiser.
MANCHESTER CONIERENCE.—We have al-
ready given expression to our belief that the main object
to be sought by the Conference is to produce a deep and
wide-spread moral impression in favour of the repeal of
the Corn-laws. It can hardly be necessary to suggest
that the prevailing spirit and tone which shall pervade
the meeting will greatly affect the ultimate result.
Vague declamation, however fervid—bitter denuncia-
tions of aristocratic selfishness, however richly deserved
—will nut tell upon the public with half the effect of
facts aptly brought out, reasonings fairly and fear-
lessly pursued, and conclusions calmly but unshrink-
ingly stated. The foes, both of cheap bread and un-
shackled religion, are anticipating with malignant plea-
sure, a violent effusion of ecclesiastical, or rather, cleri-
cal acrimony. We do not say we hope, but we are con•
fidently persuaded, that both parties will find themselves
thoroughly disappointed. Scarcely inferior in import-
ance will be a rigid exclusion of party politics. Any-
thing like an attempt to ring changes upon the patriotism
of her Majesty's present Ministers, if it did not provoke
irrelevant discusiion—which most probably it would,
would create suspicion that the whole movement is no-
thing more than an underhand trick of the Whigs to re-
tain or to regain office. The matter must be discussed
without reference to parties—quite irrespectively of the
men who have advocated either the
