THE HAGUE, JULY 21.—The hopes that were enter-
tained at the commencement of the year 1845, that the
commerce at Canton, under the flag of the Netherlands,
would be more considerable than on the preceding year,
has not been realised. Only rive Netherland ships with
cargoes of tea have sailed direct from China to the ports
of the Netherlands, and two others have returned by way
of Java. For want of the Netherlands, it was necessary
to have recourse to an Ain.rican ship to send to the Ne-
therlands a cargo of 10,000 chests of teas. In July,
1845, the freight for the Netherlands was 130 florins,
with 15 per cent. for vessels going to Java. In De-
cember, 155 florins, with 15 per cent., were paid for
freight to Rotterdam ; and at the time of the
Chinese New Year, 180 florins, with 15 per
cent. were offered, and this freight was undoubtedly
paid, for the cargo sent by that American vessel of 200
tons burden, sent from Macao to Batavia; from 6,000 to
7,000 florins were paid. These high freights are
generally offered in the season from October to April.
These statements we hope will induce the merchants to
send a greater number of ships, since freights may be
had for Manilla and Bale, as well as to the Netherlands
and Java.

The exportation of tea in Dutch ships were less in
1845 than in the preceding year.
Bills of the Netherlands could not be negotiated at
Canton. None were taken but such as were payable in
London.

AMSTERDAM, JULY 21.—The first herring buss ar-
rived at Vlaardingen with forty-one barrels, and to-day
another with eighty-one barrels. The accounts of the
fishery are extraordinary unfavourable. The Rer. Mr.
Grooff, Vicar Apostolic in our East Indian possessions,
had an audience of his Majesty on the 18th of July.

FLANDERS NAIL AND DUTCH

BRUSSELS, JULY 18.—It appears from a letter written
to the Echo de Sambre of Meuse, by our countryman,
Mr. J. Guinotte, engineer, who directs in Mexico the
construction of an iron railway from Vera Cruz to
Mexico, that notwithstanding the varions impediments
arising from the climate, the indolence of the inhabi-
tants, the political state f the country, and the blockade
of the port of Vera Cruz by the American squadron,
the works are proceeding as rapidly as could be ex-
pected. The levelling the works at the station, and the
laying down the rails are completely finished, for nearly
25 kilometres ; about the half of the first section.

But it is to be feared that the continual troubles which
afflict this unhappy country will not allow the com-
pletion of the plan to continue the railway to the plateau
of the Cordilleras. Mr. Guinotte states that his comrade,
M. Van Arbrouke, and several of the Belgian workmen
who accompanied him to Mexico, have fallc,n victims to
the insalubrity of the climate. e had himself two very
severe attacks of fever.

Thu Moniteur Beige promulgates several laws of the
18th of July, granting supplementary votes of credit to
different departments for 1845. Soleman Pacha
(Colonel Selves), and Mr. Horace Vern( t will be present
to•morrow, at the military operations in the field of
manoeuvre.

A letter from West Flanders says, " The rye harvest
is begun ; unhappily it does not promise more than half
the usual crop. Oats, beans, and linseed will likewi,e
produce but a moderate crop, but the wheat is magnifi-
cent ; so good and abundant a crop is not in ttie me-
mory of man. The principal article of food for our
poor looks extremely well; I mean the potatoes, which,
however, want rain. Forage in general is much better
than was expected, after so long a continuance of dry
weather.
Taz HAGUE, JULY 20.—The official journal pub-
lishes the reports on the state of the charitable institu-
tion 3 during the year 1844, presented by the Government
to the Second Chamber of the States General on the
sitting of the 27th of April last, conformably to Art. 226
of the fundamental law. The accompanying tables fill
twelve pages of the journal.

' The official journal publishes likewise the eighteenth
supplementary article to the convention of 2hlayence of
30th March, 1831, for the navigation of the Rhine, in
the Dutch and French languages.
THE HAGUE, JULY 19.—The receipt of the ways and
means in the year 1845, first six months of the year
1845 was f 25,705,065,301 ; 1846, f25,653,432,74i. De-
crease in 1846, 41,632,561 f.
It appears that, in 1846, there has been a decrease in
some branches of revenue of f379,043,86i, and an in-,
crease of f32f,411, 301; on other differences f 41,632, 56.
The King returned to the Hague on Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock. We understand that he will go
on Sunday, by way of Leeuwarden to Groningen, on the
25th to lampin, then to Zwolle and to the Loo, when he
will return to the Hague. It is thought that his Ma-
jesty will then go on to Luxemburg.
A General of the German Confederation is expected to
inspect the Luxemburg and Limburg contingent of the
army of the Confederation now in garrison in some towns
of the Netherlands. (Major-General Mulder, here
alluded to, has arrived at the Hague.)

SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSAL L'S.—YESTERDAY.
A number of small bets on the Goodwood Stakes enable
us to present a price current of more than ordinary length,
but which, except in the first class favourites, does not show
any changes of importance. With regard to the "selects,"
we may state briefly that Camera Obscure, beyond a qnes-
tion, was first favourite, and that a rather heavy investment
on Connaught Ranger did not check a very strong desire to
lay against him in several quarters; nor were The Hero or
Jonathan Wild in anything like demand. The Lapwing filly,
on the strength of her victory at Newton, and Red Robin,
were backed for some money at improving prices, but at the
break up were not in any great request. The last quotations
were as under;
