DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 3.—DRAINING OF THE LAKE OF
HAARLEM.—When the trial was made of the engine
called the Leeghwater, all the parts moved with great
regularity, and the eleven pumps, at every stroke of the
piston, raised sixty-six cubic metres of water. Though
every time such a mass of water was raised, the engine
was subject to a pressure of more than 200,000 kilo-
grammes, hardly any shock was felt in the vessel, and
the only noise that was heard was that made by the
flowing off of the water that was raised by the pumps.
The number of strokes of the piston was about seven in
a minute, the water was raised to the height of 1.30 to
1.50 metres, and the pressure of the steam in the
boiler was from 301bs. to 351bs. English. If it should be
necessary in draining the Lake of Haarlem to raise the
water from a greater depth, the force of the steam-
engine may be safely increased by 701bs. English,
and by this means the celerity of the play of
the pumps might perhaps be increased. At present,
taking the operation as it was on the Ist of
October, this steam engine is able to raise, deducting
the loss, 450 cubic metres per minute, or 648,000 in 24
hours, which is about 45 millions of ordinary pails; the
power of the engine may be estimated as equal to 300
horse power. Whatever be the quantity of coals em-
ployed to obtain so great a power, the expense may
always be diminished by the continuance of the operation.
A former experiment has also proved that no more than
two kilogrammes of coals per horse was necessary to ob-
tain one horse power, whereas seven kilogrammes of
coals were required for the old engine employed at the
Zuidplay. Notwithstanding the important saving of
coals which the Leeghwater affords, (the engine still re-
quires 200 bushels of coals to obtain the result expected
from it.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 3.—We are able to state the

FRANKFORT, OCT. 31.—1 t is reported that several
arrests have lately taken place in the Grand Duchy of
Posen, in consequence of the investigations that have
been made into the disturbances in Poland. The pro-
ceedings against the Poles, it is now said, will probably
not begin at Berlin till the month of May or June next
year.

- BERLIN, OCT. 28.—Our city has been the scene of a
deplorable event, namely, the death of the eldest son of
the Minister Van Bodelschwingvelmede, who was killed
in a duel with M. J***, brother of the well-known pro-
prietor of an hotel. The cause of the duel is variously
stated. The duellists went to Treptow ; but when the
deceased had received a severe wound, and lost much
blood, they departed in another carriage. It was not
till the day before yesterday that the event became
known, in consequence of the increased illness of the
wounded man ; unhappily his wounds proved mortal,
and he died yesterday at the age of 23, to the great
grief of his afflicted family. According to information
that may be depended upon, the law for regulating the
position of the Jews in the Prussian dominions is to con-
tain, in many respects, an extension of the existing
laws.—Dutch Papers, Nov. 4.

THE CORN TRADE.
BRITISH.
Comparatively little rain has fallen during the week;
and though the land is scarcely yet in a condition to
admit of out door work being carried on with advantage,
the plough has again been set in motion, and should
there be no return of wet, farmers will be actively em-
ployed in the fields in the course of a few days. Under
these circumstances an immediate falling off in the sup-
plies of grain from the growers may be calculated on ;
but as the millers and merchants have still tolerable
stocks on hand, decreased deliveries may perhaps for a
time produce little effect on prices. Indeed, something
like a check to the upward movement has already taken
place, nor is this by any means surprising, when we
consider that the value of grain has been constantly on
the advance for a period of three months. The excite-
ment consequent on the discovery of the extent of the
potato failure is now in some measure subsiding, but
nothing has transpired to lead to the belief that the de-
ficiency in this important crop has been exaggerated; on
the contrary, the more the matter is investigated, the
clearer is the proof that an immense amount of food has
been totally lost, and that a very large importation of
foreign corn will be absolutely necessary to make good
this falling off in the home produce. We are, therefore,
inclined to view the present quiescent state of the trade
as the natural result of the previous activity, and not as
an indication of doubt as to whether the advance already
established be really warranted by the actual position of
affairs. The extraordinarily large supplies of wheat
brought forward by the farmers during September and
October have been only partially consumed, a portion
thereof being now in the hands of the millers and mer-
chants ; whose wants having been satisfied, they, as
prudent tradesmen, feel no disposition to enter into far-
ther immediate investments. The consumption of bread
is, however, unusually great, and is more likely to in-
crease than diminish, prices of potatoes having risen to
such a height as to render it doubtful whether bread be
not the cheaper article of food. The stocks of wheat
and flour in the hands of the millers and bakers cannot
therefore, be expected to last very long, and in the course
of a very few weeks a renewed demand for wheat may
be calculated on. We are, consequently, disposed to
think that no decline of moment can occur in prices of
this article, and even doubt whether the highest point
has yet been touched. In regard to the probable extent
of the supplies from abroad, we see no reason to alter
the opinions expressed on former occasions, viz., that
until the spring of next year it will be impossible to
obtain a large quantity. The practicability of securing
millions of quarters is very glibly spoken of ; but those
really well-informed on the subject know perfectly well
that such statements are wholly without foundation.
From what quarter of the world are these millions to
come? France, Holland, and Belgium are buying wheat
wherever it is to be got. In the Baltic there are compa-
j ratively no stocks of old. At Odessa vessels were, ac •
cording to the most recent accounts, so exceedingly
scarce as to render large shipments impossible. In the
Mediterranean prices of wheat are nearly as high as in
this country ; and there is consequently no inducement
to consign from thence to Great Britain. Our principal
dependance must, therefore, be on America. In a recent
number we endeavoured to show that very erroneous

At New York the
total stock of flour consisted on the 15th October, of
about 40,000 or 50,000 barrels. Supplies, it is true,
were coming in fast from the interior ; but to talk of
millions being received from the other side of the
Atlantic, and that within the space of a few months, is
perfect nonsense. We notice these matters merely to
point out the real state of affairs ; we certainly have no
wish to encourage speculation, but we deem it a duty to
dissent distinctly from those who would endeavour to
make it appear that all cause for apprehension respecting
the possible scarcity of food is at an end. The accounts
from Ireland are certainly not of a character to lead to
any such conclusion. The rise in the value of the coarser
descriptions of grain used as substitutes for potatoes has
there received no check, and all our letters agree in
stating that the wants of the people are daily becoming
more pressing. At Limerick the high price of 565. per
qr. had been paid for Indian corn, and oatmeal had been
selling in different parts of the island at the unprece-
dented advance of 408. per ton.

The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London were
small up to Friday, but since then a larger number of
cargoes have come to hand from the east coast. The
quantity reported up to this (Saturday) evening amounts
to only 13,503 qrs. The show of samples by land-carriage
from the home counties has been quite trifling since
Monday ; the few runs exhibited on the Essex and Kent
stands on Wednesday were principally parcels left over
from previous arrivals, nor was there much fresh up on
Friday. Notwithstanding the moderate nature of the
supply, the trade has not been by any means lively
but though the millers have acted with the utmost
caution, and few or no purchases have been made for
shipment coastwise since the commencement of the
week, still former piices have been about supported,
and it was impossible to buy really good wheat cheaper
at any period of the week than on Monday. The
inquiry for duty-paid foreign wheat has been even more
restricted than the demand for English. Mark-lane
has been visited by corn-merchants and millers from
Liverpool and other parts of the kingdom, evidently
looking for foreign wheat, but they appeared dis-
appointed at the prices asked ; and very few bargains
have, consequently, been closed. The lower descriptions,
such as Polish, Odessa, Danube, &c., have met with more
attention than finer sorts from the Baltic, and we should
not be surprised if any inquiry for the first named kinds
were to spring up, prices of these being at present very
little higher than those recently obtained for Indian
corn. Nothing of interest has transpired in bonded
wheat ; the idea of the duty being taken off, which some
entertained last week, appears to be given up ; at all
events no inclination has been shown to buy bonded
wheat in preference to free, and the difference in value
between the two is the existing rate of duty (4s. per
quarter.)_

Quotations of flour have remained perfectly statianary,
with but a moderate extent of business passing in the
article. The metropolitan bakers have still sufficient
stock on hand to carry them on for a few weeks, and
seem determined not to buy more till this shall have
been exhausted. In American flour, whether free or
under lock, the operations have also been on a restricted
scale ; and prices have remained precisely as they were
last week.
The arrivals of English barley have been scanty, and
no supplies of this grain have yet reached us from abroad.
The maltsters seem to be completely out of stocks ; in
which position of affairs they have no alternative but to
comply with the demands of factors. Not only has the
advance of Monday been supported, but in some cases
prices not then obtainable have been realised, say 545.
for prime malting
samples, and corresponding rates for
other sorts ; there was, however, less inclination to buy
on Friday than in the beginning of the week.
The rise in the value of malt has kept pace with the
advance in the prices of barley, and the demand for
the former has been fully as active as that for the latter
article.

Though 9,632 quarters of oats have arrived from Ire-
land and 28,979 quarters from abroad, the smallness of
the receipts from our own coast and Scotland, and the
belief that there is now very little on passage from the
sister isle, have imparted a very firm character to the
trade.

So few English beans have appeared as to render ex-
tensive operations impossible : and in the absence of
sales of consequence, quotations have remained nomi-
nally unvaried. Egyptian beans have been in rather
lively request, and for parcels on the spot, as well as for
cargoes to arrive, Is. to 2s. per quarter more has iri par-
tial instances been obtained.
The cold weather experienced in the early part of the
week led to an improved demand for boiling peas, but
on Friday there was less disposition to buy, and the ex-
treme rates of Monday were paid with some reluctance.
In hog peas there has not been much passing, and prices
have undergone no change requiring notice.
Indian corn on the spot has moved off in retail at very
full prices. Floating cargoes have been much inquired
for by buyers on Irish account, and the contracts closed
have been at rates is. to 2s. per qr. above those at which
sales were made last week.

PRICE SD.

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAVANNAIL)
I went on shore at 7 ♦.M. on the morning of the 12th,
and it is impossible to give an adequate ides of the dis-
astrous scene that presented itself. From the Arsenal
along the wharfs to the Moro—ships sunk, dismasted,
arid damaged in every direction--but one scene of wreck.
The city has suffered severely. They estimate, from
lists already given, that no less than 100 persons have
perished by the filling of houses and street accidents.
The sheers on each side of the harbour are blown down.
Of course great apprehensions are entertained for the
crops.
