DUTCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, JULY B.—Her Majesty the Queen, with a
numerous suite, arrived hero this afternoon at half-past two
o'clock by a special train from the Hague, and, passing
through the city, proceeded by the Rhenish Railway to
Utrecht.

ROTTERDAM, JULY 7.—The Ocean steamer, Captain Haste,
bringing the mail, with 44 passengers, arrived this morning
at half-past eight o'clock, having performed the voyage
from London_in 22 hours; it leaves on Wednesday at seven
&Clock, A.M.

COLOGNE, JUNE 26.—We have seen to-day the happy ef-
fects of the accelerated communication by steamers between
Belgium and England, with the arrival of the English mail
for the first time in two days, or, more properly speaking, in
a day and a half; for the letters dispatched from London the
day before yesterday arrived by the evening mail, while the
evening papers of that day, arrived here this morning at half
past nine o'clock by the common train from Belgium. The
English mails 24 hours less at the least on the way, and
this very much is gained in the speedy forwarding of the
English letters and newspapers to a great part of Germany ;
if, as may be hoped, the present rapid communication con-
tinues, we shall henceforth have the letters from London and
Paris "at the same time, a thing which a year ago nobody
would have believed to be possible.
FRANKFORT, JULY I.—We hear that the Commissioners
appointed by the Diet to examine M. Wagner's electromag-
netic machine, have proposed' to the Diet to grant him an
indemnity (6,000 florins it is said), for his great expenses and
labour, but that the Diet has refused. Everybody expected
this result of the affair.—Dutch Papers, July 8.
TIIE HAGUE, JULY 9.—This morning at five o'clock the
King left the Hague to go to Luxemburg. His Majesty will
be absent about a week.
The Queen set out by a special train to Utrecht going to
Soetsdyk, where her Majesty will stay some time.
We have received the Curacao journals up to the 25th of
May; they do not contain any important news.
Several vessels had arrived at Curacoa with a great
number of emigrants from ..St. Domingo. The accounts
which they give of the situation of their brethren in St.
Domingo is very afflicting. We have more recent accounts
from that country by way of France.
. .

His Majesty's brig thePyl, commanded by Lieutenant A.
Ivoet, left the road of Curacoa on the 20th of April, bound
for St. Domingo. The reasons of this voyage are not known.
A letter from Batavia of the 4th :of March says, that the
weather had been very stormy, and that at Samarang in
particular great damage had been done. The tide had risen
to a height never before known. •
FIIANCONIA, JULY 3.—The greatest joy is manifested in
this country at the remarkably promising appearance of the
crops'of every kind ; the rye begins to turn yellow, and pro-
' mises a crop excellent in quality, and abundant in quantity,
and the same may be said of every other kind of grain.
Potatoes are in full blossom ; and nil kinds of herbs and
vegetables are plentiful. They have fallen from thd enormous
price of 3 florins and more per cwt., which it cost last.year,
to 24 and 18 kreuzen, and even lower. Thus every thing
unites to open a happy prospect for the future, and lo relieve
the middle classes from the prospect of high prices and scar-
city, artificially produced, and kept up for many years—
those middle classes, without whose welfare the State can
never be in a healthy condition. Notwithstanding this, all
kinds of artifices are again preparing, and rich farmers will
not sell cheap, and even the poorer farmers, it is said, con-
tinue to purchase ; and these, in concert with the jobbers and
speculators, will raise the market price to such a height as
may suit them, unless preventive measures are adopted in
time by the authorities, of which, alas! we appear to have
little prospect, hence the complaints on this head are becom-
ing louder and more vehement, with expressions of the'
greatest despondency.--Dutch papers, Judy 8. -
