FLANDERS MAIL.

GOTHENBURG, JUNE I.—A salute of ' artillery an-
nounced the arrival, yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock,
of his Majesty. We need hardly say that the streets
through which he passed were crowded with thousands of
citizens, who received him with loud acclamtnations, and
surrounded the carriage, on which showers of bouquets
were thrown. To-day the King is to lay the first stone
of the new Exchange. The enthusiasm of the people
is boundless.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, MAY 23.—According to the
latest accounts, the war in the Caucasus will .be carried
on with greater energy than ever its soon as the army
now there is reinforced by the fifth corps of infantry.
The Emperor has thought it necessary lately to issue a
proclamation to the troops, in which he is pleased to
express a hope that they will show -themselves, in the
field of honour, worthy of Lis Majesty's expectation,
and endeavour to draw on themselves the entire attention
if his Majesty the Emperor.
POsEx, MAY 31.—A great sensation has been caused
here by a remark of the German journal of this city. It
states that the sudden journey of the Emperor of Russia
(though accounts from St. Petersburgh received a few
days ago, said that he would not leave the Empire this
year), is connected with his plan to abolish the kingdom
of Poland, and to incorporate the country with the
Empire, and give it the name of a Russian Go-
vernment. What ground there may be for this intelli-
gence is not stated, and we must wait to see whether it
is anything more than an idle report; it is,',however cal-
culated to excite the greatest alarm amongst the Poles ' •
for if the name of the kingdom of Poland; is once struck
off thelist of European kingdoms, it will soon be com-
pletely Russianised. The name is of great importance in
these matters. Judging by the consistent conduct of the
Russian Government in Poland hitherto, such a step may
certainly be expected in time, if not so soon.
ConLErrz, MAY 31.—1 t is said that the -Address to
O'Connell, which has been circulated in several towns of
the province of the Rhine, has given occasion to some
discussion between the English and • Prussian Govern-
ments.

HANOVER, JUNE s.—Mr. Charles Frederick William
Evers, our Synde having been chosen by the magistrates
of this capital, and presented to his Majesty as Director
of the City, his Majesty has been pleased to confirm
'his election to this important office. This being the
King's birth-day, who completes his 74th year, his Ma-
jerty has created a new distinction in honour of fifty
years military service, and gave it the name of the Cross
of Ernest Augustus. The first officer who receives
this cross is his Royal Highness the Duk• of Cam-
bridge.—Hamburgle Papers.

A " LEETLE" OVERSIGHT OF SIR
ROBERT PEEL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Our inestimable Premier, lost in the profun-
dity of his never-to-be-sufficiently-stared-at contri-
vances, about the circulation, has, alas ! overlooked
one microscopic interest—that of the depositor !
The vast resources of the Minister's mind have been
exhausted to provide for the safety of A. 8., the holder
of perhaps three five-pound notes ; but C.D., who has,
possibly deposited fifty or a hundred thousand pounds
with his bankers, is left to take care of himself as he
can. The ratio of deposits to circulation varies im-
mensely—being low in manufacturing, very high in
agricultural, districts.

-In two cases, under my immediate observation, the
proportion is, in one instance, a thousand pounds' de-
posit to a hundred pounds' circulation ; in the other
two thousand to a hundred pounds.
Let us imagine a scene.—The Hon. Mr. Rentscrew,
proprietor of 6,000 acres in the county of '
---
has occasion to draw out 50,000/, of the 100,0001.
he has deposited with the Messrs. Flash and Grasp,
the Tory bankers of
Rentscrew would not trust his money to Whig free-
traders), and walks into the bank one fine morning for
the purpose. The nature of his business being un-
known, he is, of course, bowed into the room of the
principal partner, who receives him with the blandest
smiles, congratulates him on the last division in the
House, &c. But, alas ! business must come at last ;
and what a change "comes o'er the spirit of the
dream" of the hitherto smiling Mr. Flash ! After
much fumbling with the watch-chain, and biting of
the pen, Mr. F. is at at length obliged to confess that
the 100,0001. of the Hon. Mr. Rentscrew must be
numbered with the things which were ; that the firm
had speculated deeply in American bonds, which the
Yankees had nobly repudiated (" base is the slave
who pays"), and that the said firm, issuing only Bank
of England notes, or sovereigns, and being therefore
free from the supervision and suspicion of numerous
small holders of its securities, had been enabled to go
on till the ratio of its assets to its liabilities was as one
to seven hundred and fifty-seven !
In this case, what benefit will Mr. Rentscrew derive
from Sir Robert's regulations of the Bank of Eng-
land, his "issue department," fourteen millions based
on •Government debt, &c.?—Yours, &c.,
COMMON SENSE.

COLLISION OFF BLACKWALL.—On Sunday evening,
shortly after seven o'clock, a serious occurrence took place
on - the River, off Blackwall-pier. A waterman, named
Guard, who had charge of a barge used for supplying fresh
water to ships, and which was moored in the Thames im-
mediately facing the entrance of the East India Docks, had
just left his craft in a boat with his three sons, when he
noticed the Waterman steamer, No. 10, coming from
Woolwich, making for Blackwall, and the Coquette steamer
leaving the latter pier, 'and steering, round with the tide so
as to proceed on to Greenwich. Seeing the close proximity
of the two vessels, and being desirous of gaining the shore,
he thought it the most prudent comic to lay to, so that
both steamers might clear him ; for, by pulling out into the
stream, he might come in contact with the Waterman No.
10, and by .rowing'clear of the water barge, he might also
come in .collision with the Coquette. The former steamer
cleared him some yards, but the latter came in contact
• with the frail craft, and as quickly capsized it, throwing
immediately Guard and his three sons into the river. The
Coquette was stopped, and a rope was lowered from her bows
by one of the crew, which was caught. hold of by Guard,
who managed to keep himself afloat as well as one of his
younger. sons. Before this, however, the eldest, perceiving
that the boat would be run down, prudently caught hold of
the bulwarks of the steamer, and thereby rescued himself.
Guard tied the rope that was thrown to him round the body
of the boy, who was safely haule.l on board, and he then
scrambled up the side of the vessel on to the deck. It was
found that another of the boys was missing, and in the next
moment be was seen floating just by the paddle-box, and a
waterman's boat, which had arrived at the spot, promptly
picked him up, although in a very exhausted state. Nothing
was afterwards seen of the skiff. The waterman and his
sons were speedily taken ashore, and removed to their homes.
The Coquette is the property of the Blackwall Railway Com-
pany. In ' the early part of the afternoon, another vessel,
called the Flirt, belonging to the .same Company,was much
damaged through-coming'in eollisionyoff.l3lackwall,-with the
Meteor, Gravesend steamer..
