apprehension to his numerous frit:nds, both in Holland

BRUSSELS, JUNE 29.—The Chamber of Representa-
tives met to-day, but there was not a sufficient number
of Members present to transact business, only 46 Mem-
bers were present at two o'cicek, so that the Chamber
was obliged to adjourn till to-morrow.
_ _ .

A courier arrived yesterday from Rome with dis-
patches from his Excellency the M. de San Marzano,
Archbishop of Ephesus, Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy
See. The same courier then proceeded to the Hague
with dispatches from the Ambassador of the Holy See.
The purpose of these dispatches was to announce the
election of the new Pope Pius the IX. M. de San
Morzano has already had a private audience of the
King and Queen to deliver his dispatches.
The barley harvest has commenced in a great part of
Germany. The wheat will be reaped in a few days.
Public attention is entirely absorbed by the Ministe-
rial crisis in England.
The debate on the proposed convention with France
will commence to morrow. It is probable that the (p-
-portunity will be taken to triter on the subject of a
customs' union between Belgium and France.
THE Hamm, JUNE 29.—His Majesty the King re-
turned last night, at about eleven o'clock, from his ex-
curticn to the•Loo.

His Royal Highness tho Duke of Nassau arrived here
this evening.
We understand that the Government has purchased
600 acres on the south, west coast of the island of Texel,
the soil of which is said to be of excellent quality. It is
intended to inclose this land with dikes. This operation
will commence in the spring of 1847, so that a portion
of land in the province of North Holland will be reco-
vered from the Ivave;, and converted into fertile arable
land. We are happy to add, with the consent of
his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands,
that new Polden will have the name of Prince Henry
Polden. The serious apprehensions that the long con-
tinued draught would do much injury to the standing
crops, have been happily dispelled by the welcome rains
which have fallen in this tountry, and in the neigh-
bouring states. The hot weather had continued in some
parts from thirty to forty days, without any interrup-
tion, and gives occasion to unfavcurable reports respect-
ing the core, and the reappearance of the disease in the
potatoes, which, as far as the neighbouring districts are
concerned, we are happy to be able to refute.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—His Royal Highness Prince
Henry left the Hague yesterday evening, for Flushing,

BERLIN, JUNE 25.—The monthly table of the price
of the four principal kinds of corn in all great market
towns of the Russian dominions is now published, and

and in fourteen RI:eA 1 towns 104 - dollars. The

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON (GROUP XVII.) ---
A mistake accidentally crept into our report of the proceed-.
ings in this Committ:e yesterday, The Chairman is made,

to say that " the Committee, during the whole period thee--
had eat had only heard evidence from parties interested in;
either the Great Western or South-Western Railways.'
What he stated was, that the Committee felt this difficulty--
that the whole of the evidence adduced in support of the op-
position to the Manchester and Southampton, proceeded from.
parties either interested in the Great Western or South-Wee-
tern Railways, and that they were anxious to have some
impartial person, conversant with the district which the line'
is proposed to traverse, brought before them to give evi-
dence. The counsel for the opposition seemed disconcertedt
at this. In every other respect our report is strictly correct-

mittee take steps, if necessary, to expose such conduct, eielu '
by petition to the House of Commons or otherwise."

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at raris if
16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price 05
31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchanel
of 25 55; and the exchange at Paris on London at 5h0,11.,
being 23 70, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer to
London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh
price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English 16111"
price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an e 5"
c'eange of 13 10, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London
at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent',
dearer in London than ie Hamburgh. The course 0.1.
exchange at New York on London is 108 per cent'
and the par of exch uige between England and America
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the e
change is 1.58 per cent. against England. But tn°
quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixtf
days' sight, the interest must he deducted from the abos's
difference.
