THE HAGUE, APRIL 11.—The Steal Courant of this
day publishes the treaty of commerce and navigation,
concluded on the 17th of November last, between his
Majesty the King of the Netherlands and the Two
Sicilies, and the ratification of which was exchanged
with the Court of Naples on the 29th Fehruary. This
treaty insures liberty of commerce and navigation, withthe fullest protection of person and property. The two
contracting parties have agreed, that as the kingdom of
the Two Sicilies does not possess any colonies, it Shall
enjoy a diminution of 50 per cent. of the customs fixed
by the tariff on the importation of the produce of the
Dutch colonies—oil of olives and refined brimstone—
coming in vessels from the Netherlands harbours.

(Signed) C. DE LIEDEKERKE BEAUFORT,

his Majesty, previous to quitting Amsterdam, presented
the sum of 10,000 florins to the burgomaster, to be em-
ployed in various public works to be undertaken in the
environs of the capital.
Her Majesty the Queen manifests a most lively in-
terest in procuring work for the poor at the Hague, and

Arts. 25-23 to 52 49 were adopted.—Moniteur Beige,
April 12.
The Burgomaster of Louvain has addressed a procla-
mation to the inhabitants, assuring them that the
Government has prescribed the re-organization of the
Civic Guard. He expresses his hope that before tie
passing of that law the Civic Guard will no longer be
rendered necessary. This hope he founded upon the
peace and calmness which this city enjoys, and the love
of work and order which distinguishes the people of
Louvain. Numerous offers for the volunteer service
have been made. The Burgomaster has ordered their
names to be entered on a list opened at the Hotel de
Ville.
The elections for the Civic Guard are everywhere pro-
ceeding with the greatest quiet and good order, and the
best understanding prevails among all classes, with great
seal and eagerness to enlist in the city militia„—Moniteur

The Prussian Government has given large orders for
the manufacture of cannons at the royal manufactory at
Liege.—Moniteur Beige, April 12.
The Universal Prussian States Gazette gives a long
account of the demolition of the Imperial Austrian arms

on the Austrian embassy at Rome. Immediately after
the destruction Count Lutzow wrote to Cardin...
that he considered his relations with ti.e
Court of Rome suspended by this act. In the inear
time the Secretary of State (Cardinal Antonini)
had addressed a letter to the Ambassador, expressing
his regret and indignation at the insult which had been
offered by the populace to the Imperial Embassy. TLe
Count stated the great grief and pain which the circum-
stance had given to the Pope. Of this his Holiness gave
evidence on the 22d, while walking through the gate of
Rome, when he met Count Lutzow's carriage, and per-
sonally expressed his deep regret, and his desire that
every satisfaction should be given.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURCIIELL.)
MASON V. LAST.

A NOVEL ACTION.—This was an action of trover to
recover the value of a silver watch.

The facts were these:—The plaintiff was a coachman.
driving to Bury St. Edmunds, and defendant was 14
watchmaker there. Defendant advanced Cl. upon it—tha
money was repaid, but the watch was not forthcoming.
The oaly question in the case was the value of the
watch ,which was a silver gilt repeater. The plaintiff
claimed 181., and the defendant offered 121. None of the
witnesses had seen the watch, nor could it be ascertained
who had possession of it, as defendant asserted that ho
had lent it to a friend who had made away with it.
The jury gave a verdict for 151.
JONES V. SANDELL.

The plaintiff is a grocer, at Oxford, and the defendant
is a confectioner, in Wimpole-street. The action ws►s
brought to recover the sum of 5001. for money lent.
Letters were put in in which the defendant admitted
having borrowed the money in 1843. On the applica-
tion being made for the loan, the plaintiff said that
he could not raise money under 7 per cent.; he had,
however, only charged 5 per cent., and admitted the
receipt of interest up to June, 1847.
The jury gave a verdict for 5191. Is. 6d.
There were only three cases on the list.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Francis Simmonds and Charles Hale, plumbers, en"
ployed by the East London Waterworks Company, were
indicted for stealing a quantity of leaden pipe, the pro-
perty of Mr. Loynes, a builder, at Homerton.
It appeared that the prisoners were employed to re-
move old pipe from the premises adjoining those of the
prosecutor, and that they went upon the prosecutor'e
ground, and dug up and carried away the service-pipe.
Their defence was, that they were entitled by custom
to the old pipe, as perquisites, when they had to Jai
down new. They considered the pipe as the property
of the company, not of the prosecutor.
The inspector of the waterworks, and other wit-
nesses, gave them an excellent character for honesty
and industry.

good characters.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that the Court would
Five the fullest weight to the recommendation of the
jury, and take into consideratioa the circumstance that
the prisoners were labouring under the erroneous im-
pression that they were entitled to those pieces of pipe
which :were removed by them to make room for new
ones. If that could be the case, when the lead was the
property of the company, their employers, it certainly
could not excuse them for taking the lead belonging to
a private individual. He wished them, and all others in
the same occupation, to know that they had no such
right; and tho offence of stealing lead was increasing to
such an extent that the Court thought it necessary to
deal severely with those convicted of it. They were
determined to punish it with nine months' imprisonment
and hard labour. But under all the circumstances Or
this case he would sentence the prisoners only to one
month's imprisonment with hard labour.

THE METROPOLITAN COMMIS'
SIONERS 01? SENVEttS.—(THIS DAY.)
The Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners held
Court of Sewers this morning ; Lord Morpeth in the
chair.
A report from the General Purposes Committee on
the progress of the Ordnance survey, stated that the
committee had engaged a number of individuals to pro-
secute the survey, amongst whom was Colour-sergeant
Smith, at a salary of 2001. per annum, and a number of
levellers at two guineas per week each. The report
was adopted.
A letter was read from Sir John Hall, of the St•
Katharine's Dock Company, stating that the company
were anxious to retain in their hands the power of re-
gulating the sewers upon their property. A reply had been
returned stating that the application could not be tic-
ceded to.

It was then resolved that no person be retained in the
service of the Commissioners, lisle salaried officer, who is
in private practice, or whose whole time is not available
for the public service.
It was also resolved that the poundage to be allowed to
the collectors of the rates should in no case exceed six-
pence in the pound. i)
A letter was read from the Metropolitan Sewage
Manure Company, as well as a resolution the General
Purposes Committee had communicated them, to the
effect that the company must not proceed with their
works until an arrangement had been come to for bind-
ing the company to pay a proportion of the sewerago
rates as a consideration for the profits arising frora
their operations. To that resolution the company bad
demurred, denying the right of the Commission to
interfere, and expressing their determination to proceed
with their works.

..^A
resolution was passed by the Court, directing that
the works of the company should not be proceeded with.
A communication was read from Mr. Holland, of
Manchester, placing at the disposal of tha Commission
his patent machinery for the distribution of liquid
n
manure. The offer was accepted with thanks.
Thanks were also voted to 250 men in the employ of
Commissioners,sta
t. for having acted as special constables
tohnet he 10th instant.

Lord MORPETH expressed his delight at the manner
in which all classes came forward to preserve the peso
of the metropolis on Monday. This example of loyal!):
and affection for the Throne would produce beneficial
effects, not only in the United Kingdom but throughout
Europe.
Some other routine business was then disposed of, and
the proceedings of the Court closed.
Mr. STALWOOD was allowed to read a petition be
had already presented to the Court, complaining that
the Holborn and Finsbury Commissioners had npen
many occasions spent large sums of the ratepayers
money in entertaining themselves with dinners at the
Albion Hotel.
Lord MORPETIT said abuses should be put an end to.
Measures had already been taken to reduce the expense
of the Commission, and he could assure the petitioner,
that hereafter no allowances would be made for re-
freshments or dinners to the local Commissioners.
The Court then adjourned.

FORBIGN CATTLB AND PROVISION COMPANY."'"
Nye are glad to perceive that the Foreign Cattle Provi-
sion trade is beginning to attract the attention of cap'
talists, and that a company has been established for the
purpose of developing it on a scale of magnitude which
shall be in some proportion to its importance. At the
present time, when the price of butcher's meat, of pro-
visions of every description, is so high as to render It
impossible for the working man to purchase animal food
for his family, and when there is overy prospect that the
price of provisions will continue to rise, the establish-
ment of this company for the purpose of endeavouring
to meet the increased demand for provisions, by pro-
viding an increasA supply, cannot but confer in,"
mouse benefit upon the public, while at the same time the
shareholders will reap an ample reward.
