DUTCH MAIL.

Liursic, SEPT. 29.—1 must acquaint you with an
affair which causes a great sensation here, because ill-
disposed- journals may very likely spread all sorts of
false statements respecting it. His Majesty the
King of Saxony, before his journey to England,
made purchase of a Jewish jeweller to the amount of
30,000 dollars for presents. On distributing them it
appeared that most of the stones were false, for which
reason the return of all the presents is requested.
THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—JAVA TEA.—If, as appears
by a letter from Calcutta, the competition with Java
indigo, which, on account of its good quality to
other indigoes, begins to alarm the ;indigo merchants
at Calcutta, our trade in Java tea begins, in like
manner, to alarm the Chinese tea merchant, and they
can find no better means to discountenance it with
the opinions of the consumer, than to deny it the
good qualities which are acknowledged in Europe.
Then the Semaphore Free Press, in its number of the
2d of May last, says that, in 1842, Java tea was sold
at such a low price that it seems to be hardly worth
while to cultivate it ; and it concludes with affirming
that the cultivation of Java tea has completely disap-
pointed the expectations that had been conceived of it.
The spirit of rivalry is but too manifest in this article,
and accordingly M. Jurobron, InspeCtor General of
the tea plantations in Java, has victoriously refuted
the assertions of the Semaphore Free Press. So long
as the Chinese tea had no rival, people were obliged
to make use of it. Thus congou has been sold for
souchong, the latter for pekoe, which teas have been
found to be injurious to health. Not long ago speci-
mens of Chinese teas, having been chemically analysed,
were found to contain deleterious ingredients, and
this is the case with almost all the green teas of China.

CARLSRUHE, SEPT. 28.—The Minister of Finance
has issued an ordinance, dated the 14th of September,
by which, from the Ist of October this year, coals may
be imported into the Grand Duchy of Baden duty
free, it having been agreed between the Governments
of the several States of the Customs' Union, that it
should be left to each of them to reduce, or holly to
abolish, the import duty on coals, as should appear to
be necessary.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Oct 5.

A good deal of business was done on the above race,
at quotations that in several instances differed essentially
from those returned on Monday. Thus Jamal, on that
day second favourite, after two or three bets at R and 9
to 1, receded to 12 to 1, and left off without friends ;
Glossy, who on the same day was 20 to 1, again com-
ing strongly into favour, and closing second to the Duke
of Portland's filly ; Foig-a-ballagh was also backed
freely in several quarters, and finished at 12 to 1, takers.
Lightning came next, a strong commission to back him
having been executed at 12 and 13 to 1. The Souvenir
filly was frequently backed at 7 to 1 (no layers at the
close), Vibration at 14, 15, and 16 to 1, Una at 16 and
17 to 1, and Give-him-a-Name at 15, 16, and 17 to 1.
The betting in other respects was devoid of interest.

HOSPITAL TOR CONSUMPTION AT 8R0MPT0N......
(From a Correspondent.)—Benjamin Bond Cabbel, Esq.,
whose name appears so conspicuous in almost every
metropolitan charity, has qualified himself life governor
by the handsome donation to the hospital of thirty
guineas. It is expected that the new building now in
progress will be ready for the admission of patients
early in the ensuing year. The recent munificent dona-
tion of the sum of two hundred guineas, in addition to a
previous donation of one hundred, from the Rev. E. Ilol-
land and Mrs. Holland, of Hyde Park, added to the suc-
cessful exertions of the Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A.,
both at Ramsgate and, at Cheltenham, afford awl en-
courage the most cheering prospect to the benevolent
i founders of this much required metropolitan nstitut4ou.
