THE HAGUE, JAN. 29.—Yesterday morning the melan-
choly ceremony of the funeral of his Royal Highness Prince
William Frederick. son of his Royal Highness Prince Fre-
derick of the Netherlands, took place at a very early hour.
JAN. 31.—M. Mercier, Minister of State, Governor of the
province of Hainault, Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the
King of the Belgians, on an ex' raordinary mission to the
Court of the Netherlands, accompanied by M. Van der
Straaten, as secretary, arrived here yesterday. The choice
made by the Belgian Government may be called a happy
one, for M. Mercier was formerly employed in the service of
the Netherlands, and afterwards as Minister, contributed
greatly to maintain a good understanding between the two
countries. The Second Chamber_ of the States General is
convoked for Friday, the 6th of February, to resume its
operation. The last sitting was on the 16th of December,
1845. The second part of the sessions of 1845.46 will now
commence. Many important matters will come before the
Chamber.—Among the most urgent is the question of the
differences with Belgium. According to an official statement
the mercantile navy of the Netherlands consisted on the 31st
of December, 1845, of 1,860 ships, the total tonnage)
which is 186,872 lasts (1 last equal to 2 tons). This is an
increase of 81 ships built in the year 1845. The number of
ships under the flag of the Netherlands (with cargo) which
cleared inwards in 1845 was 286 greater, than in 1844, and
the ships cleared outward in 1845 was 150 more than in
1844. The number of ships under foreign flags likewise in-
creased considerably. His Majesty has been pleased to
appoint the Minister of the Interior, Finance and Colonies
Commissioner to negotiate with M. Mercier and General
Willmar for the conclusion of a commercial treaty between
the Netherlands and Belgium.
LIAMBURGII, JAN. 27.—The number of ships that arrived
at Riga in 1845 was 1,334, of which 444 were English.
BERLIN, JAN. 21.—(From the Weser Gazette.)—lt is con-
fidently affirmed that very important intelligence was re-
ceived yesterday from West Prussia. It is well known that
the greater part of the persons arrested as being concerned in
the Polish plot, have been sent to Grandenz, and so removed
to a distance from the scene of the events. It was hoped that
by a timely intervention the actual breaking out of the con-
spiracy would be prevented. It appears, however, that on the
night of the 18th an attempt was made to surprise one of the
gates of Grandenz, in order forcibly to rescue the prisoners.
That attempt, it is said, failed. The whole surrounding
country has been scoured by a detachment of cavalry, and a
great number of new arrests have been made.—M, elothurgh

BRUSSELS, JAN. 30.—1 n yesterday's sitting M. Delfosse,
in the name of the Committee of Inquiry, presented tho re-
port of the causes of the falling in of the tunnel of Cump-
tich. The Chamber adopted articles 8 and 9 of the pro-
posed game-law. The convention of the 13th of December
last, which renews the convention of the 16th of July with
France, has now been ratified by the French Government.
A letter from Charleroi, of the 27th, says—" We are in
the midst of an immense fake. The lower town is in many
places five feet under water, the communications are inter-
rupted, and the rain continues."

JAN. 31.—The Chamber adopted, yesterday, articles 10
and 20 of the proposed game-law. We receive, from all
quarters, the most afflicting news respecting the inundations.
