THE ILtouE, APRIL 7.—The Second Chamber of
,he 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 Buis le Duca to
Culenborg.

The Journal d' Commerce d' Anvers makes the follow.
ing reflections on the memorial presented to the Bel-
gium Government by the Committee 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 conveyed by the Rhenish
railway in the month of March, from the several sta-
tions in Holland, was 26,328. The receipt was
30,814 f. for passengers, and 8,253 f. for goods.
TILE HAGUE, APRIL 7. —On Saturday last there was

ting the prizes and rewards were determined, which

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.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 7.—The official part of the Moni-
teur Beige of this date publishes the convention between

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 the City,
that was commenced about four months ago, and 'which ex-
tends from Whitefriara 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 front 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.

:201)1.—When this article was " protected" by a duty
its sale was unimportant. 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 interest with corn, petitioned against its re-
moval, and predicted their own ruin in consequence. So
great, however, has been the demand for the article, that
it is exported to nearly every part of Europe and to Ame-
rica, as well as to our colonies.—Leicester Chronicle.
COAL AT PEEL, ISLE OF MAN.—The search for this
indispensable article of fuel has this week proved successful.
We have seen a good specimen of coal already procured in
that neighbourhood ; and there is, therefore, every prospect
of success, and conseq
Maw Sun. uently profit to the speculators.—
