DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 30.—His Majesty the King
has been pleased to appoint the following superior
officers to attend the review in the camp of Mitz, on
the 15th of September :—Colonel Starm de Grave, of
3D. , Colencl illctron itrortrner -v-stn
Dambenoy, of the General Staff; Lieut.-Colonel
Delecourt, of the Hone Artillery; and Major Van
Green, of the Grenadiers. The Duke of Saxe
Weimar and his son are expected at Mitz.
NIMEGRIEN, AUG. 30.—The incessant rainjwhich
we have had for a considerable time had already
darkened the prospects of the farmers, but the damage
done by that which fell on Saturday and Sunday is
incalculable, especially in the lower parts of the pro-
vince, which in several polders are under water.
STAIIORST, IN OVERYSSEL, AUG. 29.—The con-
dition of the farmers become worse and worse every
day ; the standing crops and the potatoes are under
water, and it will be difficult to save them. The
water has risen above the dikes, and overflowed this
extensive polder, and looks like a lake many acres
in extent.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 29.—His Majesty the King is
expected to return to the Hague about the 3d of Sep-.
tember. It is remarkable that almost all the members
of the ROyal Family are now abroad ; the King and
Queen at Weimar, the Prince and Princess of Orange
at Rome, Prince. llenry in the Mediterranean, and
none of the Princes are, residing here.
While so many complaints are made here in Ger-
many and elsewhere of the wet summer, the heavy
rains, and the overflowing of the rivers, the drought is
equally destructive in Spain ; and accounts from Nor-
way say that the oldest inhabitants cannot remember
such warm and dry weather.

We understand that a subscription is being raised
in this city, with a view to present the talented Celtic
scholar, Mr. L. M'Lean, of Glasgow, with a testimonial,
" in consideration," as the document sets forth, "of Mr.
M'Lean's own many valuable qualities, together with his
unwearied exertions in promoting the religious, moral,
intellectual, and physical improvement of the poorer
class of his countrymen." We never disapprove of seeing
merit suitably rewarded, and we have much pleasure in
taking notice of this affair, in order that, ere the papers
be closed, it way reach the ears of lovers of Celtic an.
dour and philanthropy, both at home and abroad, who
otherwise might not by aware of it,
