BRUSSELS, MARCH 8.

The late acts of the King of Holland, however speciously
in favour of peice, are looked upon in the light of mere
temporizing; particularly since it is known that even
while M. Dedel, a moderate diplomatist, is sent to
London, that Monarch is making various preparations for
war.

The Belgian Government has removed the " state of
siege" from the city of Ghent, much to the satisfaction of
its inhabitants. .

The new Treasury Bonds are about to be issued. The
new law has been published for the application of the late
vote of credit to the supply of the army.
The Queen of the French, accompanied by the Princess
Marie, arrived in this city at half-past two o'clock.
Leopold and his Queen went forward several miles to meet
the Royal party. The houses of several streets are
adorned with festoons and flags. The weather, which
during the last fortnight was very fine, has turned cold ;
there has been some snow to-day.
The inhabitants of Antwerp still complain of the diffi •
culties thrown in the way of their commerce; an Ameri-
can brig, which arrived yesterday in six hours from Flush-
ing, was obliged to slacken sail in order to wait for the
Dutch gun-boat acting as a convoy.
Friday Evening.
The Government having entered into a contract with
the Bank and Company of the Ruthschilds for the
15,000,000 of Treasury bonds, at 8 per cent. premium,
on the condition of allowing the public to subscribe for
at least 9,000,000 at 7 per cent., the lists were opened
this morning at 10 o'clock. Before 3 o'clock there were,
as it is stated, by good authority, upwards of 9,500,000
subscribed by the capitalists from the different parts of the
country. K.

THE HAGUE, Saturday Morning, March 9.

In my last letter I told you of the suspensio❑ of M.
Dedel's dep irture, and cf the various conjectures to which
the delay had given rise. I have now reason to believe
that the true cause of the delay consisted in an intimation
which had arrived from London, that it would be utterly
useless to send any envoy to the conference unless he
were intrusted with powers much more extensive than
those conferred on the Baron Van Zuvlen.

Within the last few days some symptoms of revival have
been minifested in the foreign trade of the country, in
cor.sequence of a resolution on the part of the Batavian
Company to take up several large American ships now in
port, and to charter them for their East India trade.

The navy-yards at Rotterdam and Dart are also busy in
the cons-ruction of gun-boats, a circumstance which
serves at these places to diminish the growing distress.
H-re, too, at the Hague, the royal cannon foundry is in
full operation. By those who have been long here, I am
as-ured that it has never ceased to work since the cotn-
tuencement of the Belgian insurrection.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE is gradually re-
coveting from a sprain which his Grace met with in step-
ping from the throne in the House of Lords, on the day
his MAJESTY opened the present Session of Parliament.
SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Mr. THOMAS RlT-
cunt, a journeyman stone-mason, of Edinburgh, has nearly
compisted a ssatue of Sir WALTER SCOTT, which excites
gre t admir S.r WALTER is renr,sent,tl standing in
an a ivocate's gown, with a roll of paper in his hand. The
fare, viewed from all points, strikinely resembles the great
ori4inal. A thoughtful expression is given to the counte-
nince, which well accords wish the studious habits of the
g at author. This is she first work of the arsi,t, and
pr, yes :hit his daring was prornpsed by e,,niuq.— Scotsman.

Sir PHILIP SYDNEY, the King's son-in-law,
has been appointed to the office of Surveyor-General of the
Duchy of Cornwall, vacant by the de ith of TIMOTHY
E3ItENT, E•q- This nomination is stated to have been
mad- at t. e express desire of his MAJESTY, who insist, d
i.n a provisi n being made for so near a relative. The
salary and emoluments average mare than 2,000/. a year.
it id with heartfelt satisfaction we announce to
our ,ea4ers, that the defendant in the important cause Of
" DAviEs v. VIVIAN," tried yesterday at t! e Carmarthen
A-5,x,, and which involved almost the very existence of
the copper trade of Swansea, obtained a verdict. Sir JAMES
iCARLETT was specia ly ',gained for the defendant. The
trial commenced at 9 in the morning, and did not termi-
nate until half-past twelve I ,st night. The news has dif-
fu-el the greatest joy throughout this town and neigh-
bourhood, which has been manifested by the ringing of
be Is and firing of cannon throughout the day.— Cambrian.

The forthcoming work on India, by Major
ARCHER.. late Aide•de-Camp to Lord COMBERMERE,
comprises an ac oust of his vi.its, in the suite of the
Commanders-in-Chief, to the Courts of the native Hin-
doestan Princ.-s; his tour in the Upper Provinces of India,
in the Himalaya mountains, and in the Kooloo country ;
t gether with a description of Orient .1 field sports, and
rema, ks on the present state of the Bengal army.

TRADE OF LEEDS.---11) giving an account of
the sale of Wo: liens since our last, we are still able to say
that business has generally been satisfactory, both to mer-
chants and manufacturers, that is to say, both in the un-
finished and finished state. Pikes are about stationary,
and a further adv ince is not expected.—Leeds Mercury.
BRADFORD STUFF MARKET, THURSDAY
EVENING.—There has been quite as much business dune
in our stuff market this day as on the previous week, p ir-
ticu'arly in fine goods, and on about the same terms. The
prices of wool are steady and firm, ind in some instances a
higher price has been obtained. Stocks are on the de-
crease.—Leeds Mercury.
Iron and lead, after a long stagnation and de-
pression, hare recently risen in price, with a prospeet of
far greater improvement. CRAWSHAW and Co., Ttiomr-
sort anti FORMAN, WILLIAMS and Co., and GUEST and
Co., principal manufacturers of iron in Wales, BEAUMONT,
the ALP. for Northumberland, the Duke of CLEVEA ND,
the Governors of Greenwich Hospital, and the well-known
Lead Company the proprietors of the mines in the North
of England, will all derive greater advantage from this rise
in the price of these metals.

IRON TRADE.—The late advances upon iron,
we are happy to state, are fully maintained, and a further
one, we are advised by a Staffordshire correspondent, is in
contemplation in that part of the kingdom. The present
price of bar iron, 61., at Newport and Cardiff, is still,
however, a very low one, when compared with the rate at
tv hich this important article of our manufacture has usually
been shippi•d at from the respective iron pore of South
Wales. A correspondent, who resides near the Maesteg
Iron Works, Margam, says—" The quantity of iron (pig)
that has been exported from this place during the last year,
to the coast of France alone, exceeds 7,000 tons, and large
orders of castings, gas-pipes, &c., have been executed for
different parts of England and Ireland. Orders are received
daily, and trade seems to revive to its former state. The
Company have also found a very superior vein of bitu-
minous coal, for which a very ready sale in the London
and other markets has been obtained, and they intend
shipping 150 tons daily."—Cambrian.
THE SKETCH BOOK OF FASHION.—" In
this work we have the point, brilliancy, lightness of touch,
and witty, harmless malice of a French writer, in alliance
with the shrewdness and range of observation of a very
clever woman. 'My P 1 ice in the Country' is the most
amu•ine ; two scenes in this sketch belong to the richest
comedy."— Magazine. _

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Thursday morn-
ing a wat,rman, named JOHN LILL, aged 34, but who
had for stn • months past been employed as a coal-whipper,
committed suicide by throwing himself from the swivel-
br.dee, in ad Gravel-lane, into the London Dock. It was
not long before the duck watchman dragged him out of the
water, but he was quite dead. In his pockets were
found a quantity of stones And gravel which be had placed
iu them to make himself sink.

AN AWFUL DECLA RATION AGAINST IRISH
LANDLORDS.—We take from the Wexford Freeman the
fnllou ing description of two men, named REDMOND and
JACKMAN, convicted of the harharous murder of the Man-
noxEs :—" Upon the announcement of the verdict, the
prisoner, JOHN REDMOND, in a firm and distinct tone of
voice, sail—' The verdict is right so far as I am con-
cern.d, for I am the man who committed the murder ;
but as for NICHOLAS JACKMAN, he is as innocent of it,
or any p trtic,pation in it, as (pointing to the bench)
your Lordship there. JAMES JACKMAN, who was con-
clenwe'l yesterday, is also innocrut..' This declaration
produced a thrilling effect, as well upon the Bench and
Jury, as upon the bystander., all looking at each other in
stupor and silent amazement. Yes,' resumed RED.
MOND, ' I am the man who committed the murder, and
f)1 which I ant willing to suffer. Bad lanelh.rds and bad
agents have driven me to commit the desperate deed, my
old t ether, who had grown grey upon the farm, and his
numerous sod helpless family being thence expelled by
them. My father %vas in arrears bl. ; it was the last Si.
note he had ; he went and paid it down, and after all was
ej cted. I say again, bad landlords and bad agents have
forced me to seek this desperate redress; I is as resolved
upon ventteance, and now that I have taken it, I am con-
tent to die.' Poor JACKMAN, who all the while stood in
a irernhlrig attitude, his toe e as pal.- as death, now fell
upon his knees, saying_' My blood be upon the Jury
who condemned me, for, as I hope to appear before my
Creator, I am perfectly innocent.' ".....Dub/in Morning
Regititer.
