The state of health of Baron Dedel, the Netherlands
Minister, has for some time past caused the most serious
apprehension to his numerous friends, both in Holland
and in this country, and leaves but little hope of
his ultimate recovery. The nature of the Baron's com-
plaint, which consists principally in a deranged circula-
tion of the blood, has exposed his Excellency to the
greatest suffering during its progress.
Sir Howard Douglas transacted business yesterday at
the Colonial-office, on the subject of the late disastrous

BRUSSELS JUNE 29.—The Chamber of Representa-
tives met today, but there was not a sufficient number
of Members present to transact business, only 46 Mem-
bers were present at two o'clock, so that the Chamber
was obliged to adjourn till to-morrow.
A courier arrived yesterday from Rome with dis-
patches from his Excellency the M. de San Marzano,
Archbishop of Ephesus, Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy
See. The same courier then proceeded to the Hague
with dispatches from the Ambassador of the Holy See.
The purpose of these dispatches was to announce the
election of the new Pope Pius the IX. M. de San
ttorzano has already had a private audience of the
King and Queen to deliver his dispatches.
The barley harvest has commenced in a great part of
Germany. The wheat will be reaped in a few days.
Public attention is entirely absorbed by the Ministe-
rial crisis in England.
The debate on the proposed convention with France
will commence to morrow. It is probable that the op-
portunity will be taken to enter on the subject of a
customs' union between Belgium and France.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 29.---His Majesty the King re-
turned last night, at about eleven o'clock, from his ex-
cursion to the Loo.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau arrived here
this evening.
We understand that the Government has purchased
600 acres on the south. west coast of the island of Texel,
the soil of which is said to be of excellent quality. It is
intended to inclose this land with dikes. This operation
will commence in the spring► of 1847, so that a portion
of land in the province of North Holland will be reco-
vered from the waves, and converted into fertile arable
land. We are happy to add, with the consent of
his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands,
that new Polden will have the name of Prince Henry
Polden. The serious apprehensions that the long con-
tinued draught would do much injury to the standing
crops, have been happily dispelled by the welcome rains
which have fallen in this country, and in the neigh-
bouring states. The hot weather had continued in some
parts from thirty to forty days, without any interrup-
tion, and gives occasion to unfavourable reports respect-
ing the corn, and the reappearance of the disease in the
potatoes, which, as far as the neighbouring districts are
concerned, we are happy to be able to refute.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—His Royal Highness Prince
Henry left the Hague yesterday evening, for Flushing,
to take the command of the squadron destined for the
Mediterranean.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 30.—Yesterday evening, at eight
o'clock, his Majesty the King, their Royal Highnesses
Prince Henry and Alexander, his Serene Highness the
Duke of Nassau, and his Excellency the Minister of
Marine, left this town for Rotterdam, where they were
to embark on board the steam-boat for Flushing. Our
readers know that the departure of the three squadrons
assembled at Flushing is fixed for to-day, and that his
Majesty and their Royal Highnesses desire to be present
when they put to sea.
LUXEMBURG, JUNE 27.—An event of great import-
ance to the Grand Duchy is the signing of the concession
of the iron railway, between the Government and Mr.
Closeman, president of the Great Company of Luxem-
. burg. The concession (or grant) is for ninety years.
The railway is to come from Arlon to Luxemburg,. with
full power to prolong it (with the consent of Prussia) to
Treves.

BERLIN, JUNE 25. —The monthly table of the price
of the four principal kinds of corn in all great market
towns of the Russian dominions is now published, and
shows the very great difference of the prices in the pro-
vinces. Taking for instance wheat, it appears that the
average price in eight Saxon towns was 67 11-12 dollars,
and in fourteen Rhenish towns 1044 dollars. The
lowest price of wheat in the whole kingdom was 534
dollars at Breslau, and the highest 124 7-12 dollars.—
