DUTCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 20.—This morning the Royal
Family made their proposed excursion to Utrecht by the
iron railway. They left the Palace with their suite at
eleven o'clock, tu d returned about three. We are as-
sured that his Majesty expressed his entire satisfaction
with the handsome manner in which the carriages are
fitted up, and with all the arrangements.
ZRODLE, APRIL 19.—The steam boats between this
town and Amsterdam will begin to ply on Tuesday, the
23d, and arrangements will be made to correspond
with the arrivals of the trains, as well from Rotterthan
and the Hague to Amsterdam, as from Amsterdam to
the Hague and Rotterdam. The facilities which these
new arrangements will afford to travellers, who will be
able to come in one . day from Rotterdam, the Hague,
Leyden, Haarlem, Amsterdam, and other places in
North and South Holland, to Zrodle and Teverite, in one
day, and, by means of dilitrences, to go with all speed
to Dronthe, Friesland, and Groningen, we may hope
that trade and industry will derive great advantages
from the increased intercourse between the several places.
AMSTERDAM, Argil, 22.—We learn that their Majes-
ties will leave this capital to-morrow morning, at half-
past nine o'clock, to return to the Hague.
Tunarsr.—The Constantinople mail of the 3d of
April brings accounts of a violent pressing of soldiers
which the Porte had executed in the Turkish capital, in
which the wives of the men pressed made a riot, ,at-
tacked Mohamed Ali and Riza Facha, and tore the
clothes off their backs.

EXTRAORDINARY NARRAT 1 VR.—The Port Hope
(Canada) Gazette says Mr. Peter Moffat, who has
for several years been in the habit of teaming between
Peterborough, this place, and Cobourg, states, that a team
of horses, which cost him about 751., were missing on
the morning of the 6th September, 1842. After fruit-
less search and inquiries in the neighbourhood, ima-
gining they were stolen, he started towards Toronto
in search of them, and from some. account received
on the way, was induced to go on as far as 100 miles
beyond Buffalo, but in vain, and after spending six
weeks in the pursuit he returned home. 'A day or two
afterwards, observing that the crows and dogs were
frequenting a thicket near his own barn, 'he searched
it, and there, in a stream discovered both his horses
dead. As there was but little water at the time, he
suspected they had been poisoned, and upon opening
them a substance was found ivhich on examination
turned out to be arsenic. But the most singular
part of the story remains to be told. A person named
C-b, who died shortly afterwards, acknowledged
on his death bed that he, another person named
C-y, and one M-y, (C-y and M---y
beim, also teamsters), had poisoned the team; and Mr.
Moffat states that C-b, on returning home after the
act, found one of his own horses hanging at the rack or
manger, and soon after lost two of his cows, and that
then h© himself was taken ill and died; and that C-y,
who is said to have lent himself to assist the others on
this occasion, was subsequently shot dead, in a broil at
an inn in Peterborough. Thus does an inscrutable Pro-
vidence, sooner or later, overtake the guilty, however
secret or well-devised their schemes may be for a season..
A labourer named Trevis was killed on Thursday
morning, at Throop, near Christchurch, by the sudden
falling of a mud wall; which deceased and another man
were engaged in removing, and imprudently neglected
to prop up whilst picking away the foundation. When
taken cut lie was quite dead.
