DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 3.—The central section of the
Second Chamber will meet to-morrow, to begin the com-
position of its report on the project of law for the con-
version of the debt.

ROTTERDAM, JUNE 3.—The day before yesterday, In
the afternoon, his Royal Highness Prince Henry set out
in his Majesty's steamer, the Lecun, to Flushing, to em-
bark on board the Rhine frigate.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 4.—The King arrived at Rotter-
dam yesterday evening at eight o'clock, and immediately
afterwards went on board the Leeun steamer, which had
returned. His Majesty is gone to Flushing, to take leave
of Prince Henry, Commander of the squadron, which is
ready for sea.
FRANKFORT, MAY 31.—Letters from Poland say that
the state of things in the Ottoman empire becomes every
day more complicated, and that the intervention of Rus-
sia is inevitable. Thins have come to such a pass, that
either the Cross or the &scent must disappear in Turkey ;
it is to be presumed that Europe will not permit Chris-
tianity to be expelled. Russia alone can take upon it-
self to execute such an operation, and this operation
may be nearer than is suppoyed.
As for the going of the Emperor to England, it is well
known that his Majesty takes delight in such surprises,
which shows the friendly nature of such visits, which,
without pomp and ostentation, proceed only from per-
sonal friendship
.and esteem. ,

Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope,
to the 9th April. The Government Gazette publishes (to-
gether with two disp:.itches from Lord Stanley to the Governor
of this colony) certain letters patent of her Majesty, dated
28th November, 1843, affecting the administration ofjustice
in a most important manner. Since the establishment of the
Supreme Court in this colony, under the charter of her Ma-
jesty's predecessor, the highest judicial authority was placed
in a state of entire independence of the legislative power in
the colony. That independence could only be interfered
with by her Majesty, by means of letters patent. Under
such a balance in he exercise of the several powers, in
respect of the administration of justice, with which the
legislative and judicial departments have been vested, the
letter patent of her Majesty, placing the Supreme Court under
the control of the Legislature of the colony, will be hailed by
the public there with a due sense of deep gratitude. It em-
powers the Governor and the Legislative Council, by ordi-
nance--
" To make provision for the better administration of jus-
tice; to alter and amend the constitution of the Supreme
Courts, civil or criminal ; to regulate the manner of proceed
ing within such Courts, the limits of their jurisdiction, the
times and places of holding such Courts, and.the number and
functions of the officers for such Courts, the powers and
authorities of the judges respectively, and all other matters
and things incident to or necessary for the economical,
prompt, and effective administration of civil_ and criminal
justice.
" That no law or ordinance, duly made and passed, shall
take effect or have the force or authority of law, until it shall
have been confirmed or ratified by her Majesty, unless it
shall have been passed by the unanimous votes of the Legis-
lative Council, in which latter case such ordinance shall
take effect from the date of its enactment; her Majesty,
however, reserving to herself the right and authority to dis-
allow it notwithstanding."

The arrival out of the English. settlers in the eastern part of
the colony, in the year IRO,. had been commemorated by a
grand dinner and fete at Port Elizabeth.
The private advices per West India mail set at rest, ap-
parently, any hope of the usual supplies of sugar from our
colonies in that direction; while St. Domingo and Cuba, b aving
been distracted by revolutions and disturbances, will, no doubt,
ship off less than usual to "the continental ports. Under
these circumstances the new Sugar Bill will not do much for
the consumers, although it is 'possible that prices
would have been forced - but for its becoming
law. The growth of sugar is large enough, if we
had but the option of feeding our wants from any source.
The Funds have been firm, but very quiet, and there has
been an entire absence of speculative business. Consols for
special transfer have been 994 to par. The Ascot races have
thinned the Stock Exchange.. Reduced Three-and-a-Half
