FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

MIDDLEBURG, MAY 22.—What we learn from this and the
other provinces, as well as from Belgium, respecting the state
of the standing crops, is in general very satisfactory, and
gives every reason to expect a very abundant harvest.
A portion of the herring fleet of Vlaardingen is to be sent
from that place on Tuesday next (June 2), and the steam-
boat Cerberus is to join it about the 10th, to bring away the
herrings, so that it may be here by the 18th, whereas the
busses themselves cannot be there before the 20th.
BRUSSELS, JUNE I.—The departure of the King oftheNether-
lands from the Hague, has been considered by some persons
as a journey putting off indefinitely the commercial arrange-
ments to be concluded between Belgium and the Netherlands.
These persons are mistaken, for in the first place the King of
the Netherlands will return to his kingdom byJunentli, and
besides the negotiations are not interrupted by his departure,
nothing therefore hinders the plenipotentiaries from agreeing
on all the poilits, even from signing an arrangement which
would only have to be submitted to the King of the Nether-
lands for his ratification, and then to be carried into effect.

We are informed that the Central Section appointed to
examine the project of law on education has not yet been
convoked. The amendments which the Minister of the In-
terior is to propose are ready, and it is thought, that there is
nothing to prevent them being communicated to the central
section.

Our Government has appointed a commission to organise
the fetes on opening the railway from Paris. The commis-
sion was installed on Tuesday, and has shice met every day.
M. Marses is gone to arrange with the Commissioner
the last measures to be taken. Unless unforeseen
obstacles should arise, the train is expected to leave Paris on
Sunday. the 14th of June. After being present at the bril-
liant fetes given by the Tour Lille, the authorities will ar-
rive at Brussels on Monday about 2 o'clock. A banquet will
be offered to the distinguished persons of Germany, and in
the evening there will be a ball, to which 8,000 invitations
will be issued. Several popular fetes will be given at the
expense of the city, for which the Municipal Council has
voted the sum of 10,000 francs.

yesterday, with 47 passengers, 680 bottles of quicksilvt-sr, and

GUILDFORD, CHICHESTER,
PORTSMOUTH, AND FAREFIAM RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the scripholders in the Guild-
ford, Chichester, Portsmouth, and Eareharn Railway Com-
pany, was held yesterday, in pursuance of the sessional
orders, at the Nine Elms station of the London and South-
Western Railway, for the purpose of having submitted to
their consideration copies of two Bills—the first, "A Bill for
authorising the sale of the Guildford Junction Railway, and
for enabling the purchasers to maintain the same, and to
make and maintain a railway therefrom to Godalming, and
from the London and South-Western Railway at Farehain to
Portsmouth ;" and the second, "An Act for making rail-
ways from Guildford to Chichester, and from Fareham to
Portsmouth, with branches to Petersfield, in the county of
Hants, and to Chichester Harbour, in the county of Sussex?'
Mr. Henry Currie, the banker, was voted to the chair, on
the motion of Mr. Mangles, seconded by Mr. Jones.
The CRAIRAIAN sait.4, in the absence of Mr. Chaplin, who
was the permanent chairman of the Company, he had great
pleasure in taking the chair. The proprietors were aware
that the capital of the Company was a million and a quarter,
in 20,000 shares of 50/. each, and 20,000 shares of 121. 10s.
each. The number required by the sessional orders to con-
stitute a meeting was one-third, or 25,000 shares, making in
amount 416,700/. The proprietors had sent in scrip far ex-
ceeding that amount, and they would have sent
them to a still greater extent, were it not that they
were anxious to avoid the trouble of registration. The
number of 501. shares sent in was 10,515, or 525,750/., and
the number of 121. 10s. shares 1,748:.14, or 87,4371. 103.,
making a total of 12,26314 shares, and 613,1871. 10s. of
capital, and being 3,929 shares and 196,4871. 10s. capital
more than the sessional orders required. He did not know
whether it was necessary for him to trouble the meeting with
any observations on the merits of the two Bills They were
aware that both of them had a good chance of being passed;
indeed, one had already passed the Commons, and was now
before the Lords, who, he had no doubt, would shortly report
favourably upon it. He should be happy to answer any
questions the meeting might be desirous of putting.
After a short pause, the SOLICITOR (Mr. Bircham) read
the breviats of the two Bills ; and a resolution approving and
authorising the diiecors to proceed with them, was moved
from the chair and carried unanimously.
The meeting terminated with the customary vote of thanks
to the Chairman.
