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
the Dragoons; Lieut.-Colonel Baron Forstner Van
Dambenoy, of the General Staff; Lieut.-Colonel
Delecourt, of the Horse Artillery; and Major Van
Green, of the Grenadiers. The Duke of Saxe
,e • nnar and his son are exneeted MitZ-
Us,
conswerable tune nan already
darkened the prospects of the farmers, but the damage
(line 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.
STARORST, IN OVERYSSEL, AUG. 29.—The con-
dition of the farmers become worse and worse etery
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 aeres
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 Henry in the Mediterranean, aed
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.

BARTHOLOMEW Fain.—This fair commenced on
Tuesday morning. It has been usual for the Lord Mayor,
accompanied by his mace-bearer, the sheriffs, and
under-sheriffs, to arrive on the ground in state, and pro-
claim the fair, pursuant to the terms of the ancient char-
ter. This year, however, the Lord Mayor came psi.
vately, attended only by the town crier, and some of the
inferior officers of the city. His Lordship arrived at
Messrs. Footvye and Mudge s, in Smithfiell, at about two
o'clock, and proceeded through the houss to the back
entrance in Cloth-fair, where barricades had been
erected, and a strong body of police stationed to keep
of the crowd. The town-cr.er then read the proclalna-
tion, and in less than five minutes the proceedings were
over. There are this year no large shows in the fair.
Messrs. Johnsen and Nelson Lee, the proprietorsh hof thean

received a reply that the ground could not be let for the
purpose of erecting shows. The housekeepers in Smith-

FORCE op lIABIT.—It is neither so easy a thing,
nor so agreeable a one as men commonly expect, to dis-
pose of leisure, when they retire from the business of the
world. Their iad occupations cling to them, even when
they hope they have emancipated themselves. Every
one knows the story of the tallow-chandler, who having
I amassed a fortune, disposed of his business, and took a
house in the country, not far from London, that he might
enjoy himself. After a few months trial of a holiday
life, he requested permission of his successor to allow
him to come into town and assist him on melting days.
1 I have heard of one who kept a retail spirit shop, and
having in like manner retired from trade, used to mi-
-1 ploy himself by having one puncheon filled with water,
i and measuring it off by pints into another. I have heard
also ~f a butcher in a small country town, who some
1 little time after he had left off business, informed his old'
. .custurners that he meant to kill a lamb once a weak, just,
