DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 9.—The Stadt Courant announces
that the ratifications of the commercial treaties concluded
on the 13th of September last, between the Netherlands
and Russia, were exchanged on the 30th of October at
St. Petersburgh. If we may believe a journal of this town,
the plans and other documents, relative to the construc-
tion of a sea-port at Scheveningen, have been laid before
the administration of the Hague. It is affirmed that the
question has been propostd ►what sum the town of Hague
will contribute to the expense which the construction of
this port will require.
We have already mentioned the heroic conduct of
some Dutch sailors on the occasion of the shipwreck of
the English ship, the Helen, Captain Orfour. We are
now informed that besides the 101. sterling granted by
Lloyd's, the town of Yarmouth has sent, through the
English Consul at Rotterdam, the sum of 501. sterling,
which has been distributed among the four Dutch sailors
who saved the whole crew of the Helen.

THE lIAGuE, Nov. 6.—The deputies of the persons
concerned in the fisheries have lately presented an ad-
dress of thanks to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of
Finance, and Colonies, for the serious interest which (as
the address says) was manifested by these gentlemen in
the treaty with Belgium, respecting the national fishe-
ries. The deputies affirm that the changes made in the
treaty, in the article respecting the fisheries, have already
had a favourable effect, and premise to be yet more ad-
vantageous in future.
MAESTRICHT, Nov. s.—Reports have been for dome
time in circulation here, respecting the station of the
railway from Maestricht to Aix-la-Chapelle, which re-
presented the intended sites as very disadvantageous to
the general interests of the trade. In consequence,
several inhabitants have got up an address to his N ajesty,
in which they petition him to be so good as to refuse his
assent t 3 the plan already submitted to him for the erec-
tion of the said station, and to be pleased to order, that
instead of placing this station without the city, it may
be t rected within the walls.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 9.—According to a letter from
Batavia of the 27th of August, all the Dutch ships then
in the road which were still disengaged, had been
freighted by the factory of the Netherlands Commercial
Company, for the purpose of being laden with sugar for
Cowes, Isle of Wight.
VIENNA, Nov. I.—The joy of the public at the im-
provement of the health of the Archduke Palatine was
clouded by the news of his relapse. The Archduke
John immediately went to Olen ; but an express has this
moment arrived with the satisfactory intelligence that
the state of the venerable patient is so much improved
that there is no further cause for alarm.
EGER, OCT. 30.—This morning, at nine o'clozk, the
inhabitants were alarmed by a report resembling thunder,
accompanied by shaking of the houses and breaking of
the windows. The powder magazine, near the city, had
been blown up. One of the officers of cur garrison, who
had the superintendence of the powder magazine, is said
to have gone into it this morning, and had scarcely shut
the door behind him, when the whole building was blown
up. Bricks, beams, and even iron doors, were scattered
to a distance of above 300 feet. The dead body of the
unf,,rtunate officer was found, dreadfully mutilated, at
the distance of eighty paces, whereas the soldier on duty,
with his sentry-box, was scarcely touched.
VIENNA, Nov. 3.—The accounts just received from
Ofen, respecting the Archduke Palatine, are again un-
favourable. Archduke John is gone to Ofen; part of
the attendants of the Archduke Stephen, who had already
arrived here, have returned to Ofen. This morning
his Highness the reigning Duke of Nassau left this city.

Our exchange was very much agitated to-day, and
the prices which could not be
,kept up yesterday, fell
still lower today, and in spite of many efforts to keep
up the shares in the railways, they fell considerably.
The lowest price of the Northern Railway was 1611, and
that of Venice Milan 1041.

The prospect is in general very gloomy, and under such
circumstances the discouragement increases. Notwith-
standing this money was not scarce,Allyeineine Zeituny,

INDISPOSITION OF TIIS DUKE OF CAMIMIDat.—
We regret to learn that in consequence of the indisposi-
tion of the Duke of Cembridge, arising from a severe
cold, his Royal Highness was unable to accompany the
Duchess of Cambridge and the Grand Duke and
Duchess of Meeklenberg-Strelitz to Windsor, on Mon-
day, to be present at the banquet given by her Majesty
to celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Wales.
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse, accom-
panied by Lord Denbigh, and a distinguished party of
friends, visited the Royal Polytechnic Institution yes
terday, aid amused themselves for a considerable period
with the various interesting models, the dissolving views
and diving bell ; this elicited considerable approbation
from the royal party.
LORD FIFE.—It is currently reported that the
Earl of Fife is about to become the purchaser of that
part of the Earl of Seafield's estate situated in and near
the town of Banff, including the Castle and approximating
Duff House. The Nt.ble Earl has now been pasting
some years in retirement, and has quite redeemed the
encumbrances on his estate, and now enjoys a clear in-
come of 7,0001. per annum. His Lordship has lately
shown his te.ual rnunifiepeee this year to the stifferieg

will, on the recommendation of the physician, pass tLe
winter at Nice.
