THE DANUBE, DEC. 21.—Our late statement re•
specting the neglect of the Sulina mouth of the Da-
nube has been confirmed in a melancholy man-
ner, for the violent storm which raged in the Black
Sea at the end of October and the beginning of No-
vember, and in which above twelve merchantmen and
many lives were lost, several ships which were
in great danger attempted to anchor at Sulina, but on
account of the shallowness of the channel were forced
to put out to sea, when two of them perished in the
storm, and others, with great losses of cargoes and da-
mage to the tackling, with much difficulty reached
distant parts. At Sulina there were lying at anchor,
for weeks together, a great number of ships with full
cargoes (on one day above 100) waiting till there
should he a sufficient depth of water in the channel to
enable them to go to sea. The numerous complaints
of the Austrian shipowners, to which those of the Da-
nube Steam Navigation Company are now added, will
certainly induce the Austrian Government to take
some decided steps (if it has not already done so) to
obtain from Russia the adoption of measures to make
the channel in the Sulina mouth passable, without da-
mage, for large vessels.— Cologne Gazelle.
The Gazette cello Lole lonic contains the following
article :—" A ship under Turkish colours, coming
from 13engasi, and hound to Camila, arrived on the
14th of i 1 )v. in the harbour of Zante. On board
there were three Mahotnetan merchants, who, having
purchased slaves in the market of 13engasi, intended
to convey them to other places, in hopes of great profit
by this inhuman traffic. The Government, being
informed of this fact, has, by virtue of the power, given
it by the 11th Act of the second Parliament, declared
the slaves to be free, and has given up the ships to the
Turkish Vice-Consul."

13neSSELS, JAN. a—Letters from Madrid, of the 29th De.
ieember, state that by order of the Spanish Government the
new postal convention between Spain and Belgium was to be
carried into, effect on the Ist of January, 1844. • • It is in con-
templation at Antwerp, to estaLlish a regular communication
between the Scheldt and Rhine between Antwerp and Cologne.
Tke object proposed is to sere-, the ports of the Lower Rhine,
and thus to avoid the enense of transshipping and forwarding
goods, to which they would be subject in consignments made
by the railway, since that'goes no further than Cologne.
The following measure, of which the official journals give
notice, appears to us to he very worthy of commendation. At
the time of the inquiry into the state of the linen manufac-
tures, the frauds practised in the trade of flax seed to the pre-
judice of our farmers, and of the quality of our linens was re-
peatedly pointed out ; it was the subject of numerous com-
plaints. The Committee of Inquiry in its Reports called the
attention of the Government to this subject ; we are happy to
find that a formality has just been adopted which will serve to
cheek the evil, if nut entirely, yet in a great measure. The
following is the notice :--
"'l'o satisfy the wishes of the merchants cf Riga, the Bel-
gian Consul in that city has been authorised (whenever he
shall be requested by the merchants) to affix to the barrels of
linseed intended for Belgium leaden stamps, with the Consular
seal, and to deliver at the same time certificates stating the
origin and the destination of the seed."
It is evident that this measure must give our farmers more
certain guarantees for the real origin of seed sold as Riga seed,
especially if it is delivered in the original packages, preserved
entire, and if at the time of the sale it is accompanied by the
certificates given by the Consul.
The committee of the merchants at Riga has decided that
the expenses on consignments of linseed for Belgium shall be
reduced to the same rate as on those for England.
