THE HAGUE, APRIL 7.—The Second Chamber of
the States, General, in its evening sitting on the 6th of
April, adopted, by a majority of 40 to 15, the project
of law for prolonging the road from Bois le Dues to
Culenborg.
The Journal d' Commerce d' Anvers makes the follow-
ing reflections on the memorial presented to the Bel-
gium Government by the Conimittee of Commerce and
Manufactures of Liege. This memorial, which is signed
by two merchants, is an important and well considered
work. It points out the basis on which Belgium and
Holland ought to act. We do not assent to them all,
but we acknowledge that nothing has been written on
the subject more substantial, and more calculated to'
enlighten the Government.
The number of passengers conv-yed by the Rhenish
railway in the month of March, from the several sta-
tions in Holland, was 26,328. The receipt was
30,8141. for passengers; and 8,2531. for goods.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 7. —On Saturday last there was
a meeting at Rotterdam, of the members of the. Royal
Netherlands' Yacht Club, at which his Royal Highness

ting the prizes and rewards were determired, which
will be given to the various description of vessels, in the
matches which will take place at Rotterdam, on the 10th
of June, and at Amsterdam, on the 10th of September.
The Prince of Orange and Prince Alexander were pre•
sent at this sitting. His Royal Highness gave a grand
dinner to a considerable number of members of the
Yacht Club, on which occasion many loyal toasts were
given.—Dutch Papers, April 8.

EXTRAORDINARY EXCAVATION IN THE CITY.—In the
course of a few days an excavation, ordered by the Commis-
sioners of Sewers at Guildhall, will be completed in tke City,
that was commenced about four months ago, and which ex-
tends from Whitefriars Dock to Fleet-street, opposite Craven-
court. The whole length was tunnelled under the houses,
which was an operation of considerable difficulty, and it was
expected that the whole would not have been executed
without some serious accident, but fortunately none has oc-
curred. The sewer is constructed at a depth of about twenty-
three feet from the surface. During the excavation the
workmen discovered a vault, which was found to be about
eighty feet long, reaching almost from Fleet-street to the
Thames, nine feet wide, and seven feet deep; it was built of
the most durable material, and the pavement of it was
formed of Roman bricks of a beautiful red colour. On Tues-
day last two human skulls, with the thigh bones and part of
a human chest, were discovered.
SODA.—When this article was "protected" by a duty
its sale was unimpee tent. A first-rate grocer in, a town like
Leicester, for instance, would think two cwt. a large order
to give a traveller at one time. Now, however, that the
article is entirely exempted from duty, the same grocer or-
ders ten tons' weight instead of two cwt. When it was pro-
posed to take the duty off, the manufacturers of the article,
like the landed in terest with corn, petitioned against its re-
moval, and predicted their own ruin in consequence. So
great, however, h. is been the demand for the article, that
it is exported to ne. trly every part of Europe and to Arne.

COAL AT PEEL, ISLE OF MAN.—The search for this
indispensable articl e ors fuel has this week proved successful.
We have seen a good specimen. of coal already procured in
that neighbourhood; a nd there is, therefore, every prospect
of success, and eor"uently profit to the speculators,—
