The French papers speak openly of the great
change about to take place in the Government of
Holland. It has had the effect, they confess, of
increasing considerably the price of colonial produce,
particularly of sugar:

In) ode of the i'aris Journals we find it asserted,
that the Toulon fleet, of i t sail of the line, had pas-
sed the Straits of Gibraltar. This assertion is, we
have every reason to believe, unfounded.
There is no foundation for the report that Cribb
and Gulley are matched against each other. The
first is under recognizance to keep the_peace and
the latter means to adhere w the declaration he made
alter his last contest with Gregsoh never to fight a
pitched battle.

Actress voted at the last Common Hall.

land, consisting of several persons of, cuusiderable,
Tnese genth,nien intend first to visit
Hecla and the water-spouts, and then to proceed iu
exploring so much of the country 211 Icelandie
summer will permit. Iceland,equal in,
extent to England, is precluded 6y its from
many of the comforts Of life, but affords, however,
uinberless attractions worth% of a curious or a scien-
tific traveller. It is said that Shetl..nd and the Faro
Islands will also be included in this unusual tour.

traCted the attention of the Fel ,ian Ambassador at
the India House on Friday, was presented to the
