The accounts received to-day from the manufacturing dis-
tricts, relative to the prospects of trade, are of a decidedly
encouraging character, and all parties appear to be in high
spirits at the expected benefit from the great commercial ex-
periment about to be tried, and set before the countries of the
world, as a lesson and example. Like the abolition of sla-
very, if it do not immediately destroy the vicious systems of
other countries, it will eventually undermine them, and a
healthy tone will the sooner be produced, the sooner our
potent "flee trade" elixir is taken.

A cargo of 10,000 West India pine-apples has been re-
ceived by the Senhora, Captain Brown, in the short space of
twenty-six days, from Eleuthera, New Providence, consigned
to Keeling and Hunt, a portion of which will be submitted to
public sale on Monday. The supply of this delicious fruit to
the public at a moderate cost affords another practical feature
of the working of an amended tariff, and of its power to add
to the luxuries of this country the produce of foreign growth.
In this instance our colonies are assisted most directly and
visibly, a circumstance to be noted, because indirect benefits
are not always acknowledged.
The Stock Market looks buoyant, and there is an improve-
ment of vs per cent. in the quotations. Consols are 95% %
for the Account. Exchequer-bills have been firm at 12s. to
16s. premium. Bank Stock is as high as 207; The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 96%
to 9?!.,v._

The- Foreign Market has also rather a better aspect.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 244 to 1/2, and the Three per
Cents. 353/4, ex div. Portuguese Three per Cents. have
been maintained at 49. Mexican Bonds are worth 27 to
271/2. Brazil Stock is marked 841/2. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 60 to 604.
There is not a great deal doing in Railway Sharesor Scrip,
but, comparatively, the quotations are steady. Dublin and
Galway, owing to the rejection of the motion for recom-
mittal, are down to 14.

DUTCH MAIL.

THE ITAcrtE, JULY 2.—The New Rctterdam Courant
publishes, in its number of this day, a letter addressed
to Mr. Turings, Consul of Great Britain, Rotterdam.
This letter was written in consequence of a statement in
the French journal La Presse, that the eldest son of Sir
Robert Peel, First Secretary of the British Legation in
Switzerland,, had been lately arrested and cast into
prison in London, for the nempayment of bills of Ex-
change, given for debts incurred at the gaming table.
Mr. Turing, in refutation of so odious an imputati,n,
states that he has a letter from Mr. Peel, dated Reine,
20th June last. Mr. Peel, far from being in prison at
London for bills, was in the exercise of his functions as
Secretary to the Legation at Heine.
We have been informed that it is intended to extend
the Dutch Railway, by making a branch to the port of
Schiedan, though we have reason to believe that this
report needs confirmation. We shall await the confirma-
tion of it, only observing at present the importance
which will accrue to the merchants of Amsterdam,
especially those who are in the trade with England.
With respect to the commercial trade with Belgium,
we learn that the principal points have been agreed upon
for some time, the extensive and laborious work of
drawing up the treaty has been pursued with all
dili-
gence, and there is every reason to hope that no diffi-
culties will int( rvene. But even should nothing occur
to impede the course of the negotiations, it is possible
that weeks or even months may pass before the treaty
can be carried into execution.

His Majesty the King, their Royal Highnesses the
Prince of Orange, and Prince Alexander, his Serene
Highness the Duke of Nassau, and the Minister of Marine
have returned to the Hague from Flushing, where they
went to witness the departure of the squadron com-
manded by his Royal Highness Prince Henry. The
squadron consisted of the frigates Prince of Orange,
Jacon, and Sambre ; the Nehalennia, the Juno corvettes;
the Echo brig, and the Adder schooner.
ST PETERSBUROII, JUNE 22. News has been re.
ceived to-day from the interior, of a tremendous,hurri-
cane along the banks of the `Volga, which destroyed
between 100,000 and 150,000 chetwerts of flour, rye,
&c. which were destined for this place. The loss is
very great.

SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.--A melancholy suicide took
place here, in the person of a young mid,hipman of the
Dido, Mr. R. Greig, whose appointment to the Dido was
given a few days ago. He joined three weeks ago, but im-
mediately asked for leave, which was granted to him, and
from which he returned on Monday last. He was, therefore,
almost wholly unknown to the officers of the Dido; all that
was known of hlm was, that he was some time in the
Semarang, in the East Indies. On Tuesday, he dined at a
tavern in Blue Town, with one or two of his messmates,
when he showod no symptoms of a depression of spirits, one
of whom accompanied him to the Royal Hotel, in Mile
Town, where he spent that night; and on being called next
morning, as he requested, answered " all right." As he
did not make his appearance, however, he was called a
second time, about nine o'clock, when he answered as before.
On being called a third time, at noon, he made no answer.
An alarm was raised, the door was broken open, and a me
lancholy spectacle presented ii self. The young man was
found stretched and lifeless on the floor, with a pistol in his
right hand, and his upper extremities saturated with bleod.
He had shot himself through the head, inserting the pistol
in his mouth. No report, strange to say, had been heard.
An inquest was held on view of the body to-day, when a
verdict was returned "That the deceased had shot himself
while in as state of temporalr" inanity."
