DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JULY 2.—The New Rotterdam 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 non-payment of bills of Ex-
change, given for debts incurred at the gaming table.
Mr. Turing, in refutation of so odious an imputation,
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 Legationformed atht
aßteiitneis.

We have been n
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 intervene. 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 Rot al 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 PETEasßunotr, JUNE 22.—News has been re-
ceived to-day from the interior, of a tremendous hurri-
cane along the banks of the Wolga., which destroyed
between 100,000 and 150,000 chetwerts of flour, rye,
&c. which were destined for this place. The loss is
very great.

1 SWANSEA.--COPPER ORE FROM AUSTRALIA.--The
staple trade of our town is now certain of receiving large ad-
ditions of the raw material from the antipodes. Ti; first
cargo direct arrived on Saturday, in the brig Amelia, of
Kirkcaldv, Reid, master, having made her passage in 150
days, calling at the Cape, &c. She has 200 tons of ore from
the Burra Burra mines, and 50 tons of bark, likewise an
Emeu, the ostrich of the country. Parcels of copper ore
have been sent as dead weight in the wool ships trading to
London and Liverpool, for nearly three years past. The
ores are very rich, some of them essaying as high as 40 per
cent. of pure copper.—Carabriart.
ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR AND MANCHESTER• DlO-
cEsEs.—The followingis an outline of the Bill intituled " An
Act to enable her Majesty to make certain provisions for pre-
venting the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and
for the appointment of a Bishop of Manchester" (just intro-
duced into the House of Lords by the Earl of Powis):—
" Whereas an Act of Parliament was passed in the seventh
year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the IV.,
intituled 4 An Act for carrying into effect the reports of the
commissioners appointed to consider the state of the Esta-
blished Church in England and Wales, with reference to the
ecclesiastical duties, revenues, and patronage.' And whereas
after the passing of the said Act, and under and by virtue of
the provisions thereof, a c,ertain order was made by the
Queen's most Excellent Majosty in council, bearing date on
or about the twelfth day of December, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, for the
purpose (amongst other things) of uniting the sees'of St.
Asaph and Bangor, and con stituting the same one diocese.
And whereas it is expedient to enable her Majesty, if she
shall see fit, to revoke and annul so much of the said order as
relates to the union of the said. sees, and to make and substi-
tute other orders instead_ thereof, and further to act in the
manner hereinafter mentioned. Be it therefore enacted,"
&c. Clause 1 enacts that her Majesty may revoke Order in
Council as to the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor,
and revocation shall be published and registered. Clause 2
provides that in case of such revocation, her Majesty may
nominate to the Bishoprics when vacant. Clause 3 enacts
that Ecclesiastical Commissioners may propose other plans
relating to the said dioceses, or that of Manchester, and her
Majesty may make Orders in Council thereupon. The
fourth (and last) clause prop:3es that no Act or Order in
Council shall be affected, except, as to the purposes in the
said Act mentioned. _
