THE HAGUE, FEB. 18.—In the Secret Committee of
the Second Chamber of the States-General, on the 16th,
a communication was made from the Government, on
the subject of the negotiations between Holland and Bell.
eiurn. The Ministers of Pinance and Foreign Affairt
were present at the sitting.
ZwoLLE, FEB. 17.-1 C is said that some respectable
inhabitants of this town have' formed a resolution to
leave their own country, and emigrate to the Nest
Wcrld, with a view to settle on the banks of the Mist
souri. It is added that inhabitants of other towns and
places in our country intend to join in the undertaking,
to form a colony in that country, and that a clergyman
of Arnheim will direct the enterprise.
THE HAGUE, FEB. 20.—The Second Chamber of the
States-General received to-day a royal message, with
a project of law for transferring to the budget for 1846
the sums allowed, and not employed in 1845, for red
coining certain current coins. The funds allotted for
this purpose in 1845 _amounted to 6,212,000 florins.,
which sum was sent down in chapter 9 of the budget of
the expenditure for 1845. The operations effected last
year required only about 800,000 florins.
The project of law is to transfer to the budget of the
expenditure for 1846 a sum of 5,706,676 florins, to be
employed in the works begun at the Mint, and for othei
purposes, relative to that department._

- The Chamber afterwards proceeded to the discussion
of the project of law, on complaints relative to direct
taxes, which was unanimously rejected.
We are assured that a Royal ordinance has been
lately: signed, which authorises the Ministers of
the Interior and Finance to enter into a con-
tract with Messrs Dronckcrs and Co. for an iron
railway from Flushing and Middleburg through
South Beveland and North Brabant, in the direction of
Venloo and Kuremonde to Maestricht. The chief object
is to form a communication between the German Ocean
and the Rhine. The contract is also to include the
making of a canal from Flushing to Middleburg, and en-
larging the port of Middleburg so as to be capable of re-
ceiving the largest merchantmen, &c.

(ADVERTISEMENT. I—A NOBLE DUKE AND HOL-
LOWAY'S PILLS. Professor Holloway has lately been
honoured by the personal thanks of one of the most
renowned Duke's of the realm, who, like the Earl
of Ahlberough, has been cured of a liver and stomach
complaint of some years standing, attendant with great
weakness and debility, by the means of Holloway's celebrated
Pills, and this after physicians skill was tried in vain. Dropsy
paralysis, asthma, and diseases of the lungs, have nearly all
their origin in disordered livers and stomachs, which a few
timely doses of Holloray's Pills will cure.—Sold by all
dealers in medicines and at Professor Holloway's establish-
reent, 244, Strand, London.
