DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JULY 20.—The Cologne Gazette states,
that according to a letter from the Baltic, the Swedish
Government has decided to construct the canal from Hel-
lingborg to Landskron, which will relieve the Swedish
vessels from the obligation of passing the Sound on enter-
ing or leaving the Baltic, consequently from the toll de-
manded by Denmark. The pertinacity with which Denmark
insists in preserving in tacto the clauses of the treaty
on which the toll of the Sound is founded will probably
engage the Powers interested to enter into an engage-
ment with Sweden to participate in the profits which
will result from the opening of the canal. An arrange-
ment of this kind will be a loss to Denmark of its prin.
eipal source of revenue, for the toll of the Sound brings
it in an annual income of two millions of dollars.
The correspondent of the Cologne Gazette is of opinion
that these new relations will probably render the Danish
Government more tractable, and that if Prussia will re-
sume the negociations which have several times been
interrupted, she will succeed in substituting for the toll
levied on Prussian vessels an annual sum which she
will pay to Russia.
STOCKHOLM, JULY B.—The second general meeting of
Swedish landlords was opened on the sth inst. Nearly
500 persons from all the Swedish provinces, as well as
from Schonen and Noreland, took part in the proceed-
ings. The meeting was opened by the Governor of the
province of Upsala, who expressed his satisfac-
tion at the presence of such a numerous assembly
of persons favourable to the interests of agriculture
and zealous in its improvement, and he trusted that
these deliberations would have a beneficial effect upon
the system of agriculture. The King, who was present,
was warmly cheered at the conclusion of this speech,
after which business was commenced. and has been re•
sumed every day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, and con-
tinued till 2 o'clock iu toe afternoon. His Majeety the
King i)nd the Crown Prince have attend- d these meet-
ings every day. The Assembly will be dissolved to-
morrow, and it has been unanimously decided that the
third grand meeting of the Swedish landlords should be
held at Norkoping in September, 184.—Aligetnaine
Zietung, July 17.

TheAugsburg Gazette confirms, by a lettc,r from Rome,
the news of the resignation of the Cardinal Gizzi, Secre-
tary of State, which was accepted by the Pope. The
reasons for the Cardinal's retirement are said to be his
difference of opinion respecting the Pope's proposel for
the formation of a civic guard.—Dutch Mail, July 21.

DEATH OF SIR DAVID POLLOCK.—The death of
Sir David Pollock is the chief event at Bombay. The
work thrown upon the hands of Sir Er- kine Perry wilt
in consequence be very heavy, as crime has been greatly
en the increase in that The character of Sir
David Pollock was not unknown at Bombay on his
arrival—and probably no judge ever was received with
more respect from the legal profession, or. with greater
warmth by society at large. His kinrly deposition, hi-,
affectionate manners, his thoughtfulness of the feelings
of others, his hospi:ality, his general benevolence, were
characterestics of the man at borne from an early age,
and in the short sojourn amongst us of eight months he
gave ample proofs that in changing his climate he had
not left his many virtues behind him. For many years
Sir David Pollock held a high place amongst the
masonic fraternity, which brought him into frequent and
close communication with the late Duke of Sussex, who
highly prized and estimated his worth and character;
the charities of masonry were developed in his heart,
and liberally dispensed by his hand. Sir David died
in his sixty-eighth year. He was buried within
the Cathedral at six Pal., on Saturday, the
22d of May. His pall was borne by the
Governor of Bombay, the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
Erskine Perry, the Honourable J. P. Willoughby, the
Advocate-General, and Dr. Lerkworthy. The funeral
service was read by the Archdeacon of Bombay, and his
remains were lowered into their resting-place in the
presence of many hundreds of sorrowing friends. A
very diseased state of the liver was the immediate cause
of death. The disease must have been of long standing.
Every effort of skill and attention was directed by able
and experienced physicians, unremittingly, towards his
relief, but without effect. He suffered scarcely any
bodily pain, was conscious until the day preceding his
dissolution, and expired without a struggle."

PIRATES OF THE SULA GROUP.—The Hon. Com-
pany's steamers, Nemesis and Hooghly, returned on
Tuesday evening from their cruise, having been unsuc-
cessful in meeting with the Illanun pirates, who have
lately committed such serious outrages at Singin and
the neighbouring islands. These pirates, as we stated
a few weeks ago, are generally kept well informed
by their spies, and have many secret hiding-places
where they can conceal themselves, when waiting
for prey or shunning superior force. The mangrove,
which covers such large tracts of ground near the
sea in many places, furnishes them with the means
of concealment in abundance. Although it would no
doubt have been most desirable to have tAI:4I in wits
these pirates. yet their escape only •thows the greater
necessity which there exists for ef&ctual measures being
taken to put a final end to their operations, by proceed.
