THE HAGUE, DEC. 27.—The following is the passage
in the Haarlem Journal, which has given occasion to the
prosecution which we mentioned in our paper of the
24th inst. :

" What can the nation yet expect from a Chamber,
most of the Members of which constantly show that their
sole object is money, who do not consider themselves as
the bulwark of the nation, but who look on a seat in the
Chambers as a footstool, by means of which they may be
able to rise, by basely binding themselves to the views
of the Government, and so to obtain for themselves and
their families some delicate morsel from the Government
kitchen. Such, with few exceptions, is the conduct of
those whom we are forced to consider as our representa-
tives."

According to the preliminary report of the central
section, fifty Members of the Second Chamber
took part in the examination on the sections of the
new projects of law relative to the elective franchise-29
Members declared it as their opinion that these projects
were not in accordance with the fundamental la'w, and
that the proposal made by the Government did not seem
to them to be admissable. Seven Members did not ex-
plicitly state their opinions on this point; the other 14
Members did not find anything unconstitutional in the
project of law used before them, but some of them thought
that all doubt was not wholly removed; some even
thought that the several questions to which this project
of law related would never be regulated in a satisfactory
manner till a change shall have been made in article 6
of the fundamental law.
AMSTERDAM, DEC. 27.—At the request of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Orange-, his Majesty has been
pleased to allow his Royal Highness to retire from the
post of Inspector-General of the Infantry, with thanks
to the Prince for his services.
ROTTERDAM, DEC. 26.—A remarkable robbery was
committed here last night. The thieves having taken
possession of a boat, proceeded to a warehouse belonging
to the Commercial Company's stores, where they forced
an entrance, and carried off no fewer than 66 bales of
coffee ; the police, however, stopped the boat as they
were going to land the stolen goods. One of the thieves
was taken, and the other (for there were only two as it
seems) jumped overboard and escaped.
BREDA, DEC. 21.—A singular circumstance took
place here to-day :M. K. Klyn, an old man, nearly 86
years of age, kept the 25th anniversary of his marriage
with his fifth wife.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. I.—ln the course of the year
1845 the number of merchantmen that have arrived here
amounted to 2,426. From ports in Great Britain there

were—

We learn from good authority that the accounts of
he failure of the coffee crop in Java and elsewhere have
induced the Netherlands Commercial Company to re-
solve that the quantity in the spring of 1846. shall not
exceed 90(:),000 bales, and that the best qualities should
be selected. The farmers have observed that when the
winter is likely to be severe
in proportion
bury themselves deeper
under ground, and this is proportion to the severity
of the expected frost. Thus, for instance, last year they
were five feet under ground, whereas they are this year
only two inches below the surface, which indicates that
the winter will be mild. This is confirmed by the bees,
which last winter wholly closed up their hives, but have
left thorn nearly open this year.
FLUSHING, DEc. 30.—The editor of our Courant was
examined to-day for the second time by the justice of
;Middleburg, respecting the article which is the subject
of a provcution, when he declared that he would be
responsible for it, the writer not being known to him.
UTRECHT, DEC. 31.—The provincial tribunal pro-
nounced its sentence (stating its reasons at great length)

ba as stated in the indictment, if decided contrary t;fl
prevailing judgment of the high council that duelling
is not punishable according to the penal code, ttud eon.
sequently declared the accused to be fully acquitted.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. I.—The Directors of title Rhenish
Railway are still negotiating with the departments of
