BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.--Several communes in the province of
Brabant have lately been desolated by a furious hurricane, which
destroyed the greater part of the standing crops in these districts,
and reduced many families to extreme distress.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—Numbers of German emigrants, in-
tending to go to Brazil, continue to arrive. Last Saturday
several emigrants arrived at Ostend, where they embarked on

number was 548,543—increase in March, 1845, 45,878. In
the first three months of this year the number of passengers was

General in its sitting to. day agreed to the budget of the Depart.

menced, and will be continued this evening.

by he King, that the official paper containing the raw as the tariff
of duties on exportation, importation, and transit, will he pub-
lished on the 12th of July next, and that the law shall be carried

7HE HAGUE, Juice 2G.—We are happy to learn that entire
satisfaction has been given for the illegsl proceeding of carrying
the Dutch ship the Vromo Johanna into Palamos, and that besides
the Insertion in the official Gazette of Madrid of an article an-
nouncing the release of the ship and its cargo, the Spanish Govern..
ment has expressed its regret at the Insult offered to the flag of the
Netherlands on this occasion.

In the evening sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday the
debate was concluded on the address to be presented to the King
relative to the affairs of Surinam.

Two addresses were proposed, one by the Committee and the
other by M. Goltstin. It was resolved by a majority of 24 to 21
that the preference should be given to the address proposed by the
Committee. Three amendments to the address were then pro-
posed by M. Goltstin and successively rejected.
The President then moved that the Chamber should resolve
itself into a general Committee, and the President informed the
Chamber that he had received several messages from the First
Chamber announcing that it had agreed to chapters 1 and 2, and
from 4 to 11 of the budget for 1846 and 1847.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—A deputation of Members of the two
Chambers proceeded to.day in state to the King's Palace, to present
to his Majesty the address on the affairs of Surinam.

BATAVIA, Fax. B.—According to private accounts from Padang,
the state of the west coast of Sumatra in the month of December,
in consequence of the opposition of the population to the Nether.
lands Government, was much more critical than was at first stated.
It appears that the conspiracy to bring about a general rising had
been going on for many months, and it is surprising that no Eu.
ropean discovered the plot. The plan decided on by the rebels
was, that all the Europeans in Sumatra should be massacred or
expelled ; this hellish plan is not to be considered as partial, but
has, doubtless, more ramifications than was supposed. It is to be
wished that the military force in Sumatra may be considerably
strengthened by European troops, for it may be feared that by the
united efforts of the treacherous population of Sumatra, our troops,
which are too weak, and stationed too far from each other, may be
one day surprised and sacrificed. —Dutch Papers, June 28.

GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.
This grand display or military skill, which has already been twice
postponed on account of the unfavourable state of the weather, came
off yesterday, in Hyde Park. The lines were formed a few minutes
before eleven o'clock, and comprised the following distinguished
regiments, the 4th Light Dragoons, the 2d Regiment of Life Guards,
the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and the Grenadier Guards. The right
flank was in possession of the Ist and 2d battalion of the Scotch
Fusilier Guards, and the other division of the regiment occupied
the left. The Life Guards occupied the extreme left. The ground
was occupied by the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, and a de.
tachment of the 2d Grenadier Guards. The cavalry was
under the command of General the Honourable E. Lygon,
and the infantry under Colonel Drummond. Viscount
Combermere was Commander-in-Chief. Precisely at eleven
o'clock, and immediately after the formation of the lines,
her Majesty, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians,
the Duke of Wellington, and the Marquis of Anglesea, accompa-
nied by a brilliant staff, arrived on the ground. Her Majesty and
party were received with full military honours, the band playing the
National Anthem. Her Majesty, who appeared in excellent health
and spirits, and the Queen of the Belgians, were in an open landau,
Prince Albert and the King of the Belgians were on horseback in
full military uniform. The inspection of the lines being completed,
the various evolutions were entered upon, and gone through with
the greatest order, precision, and rapidity, exciting not only the
encomiums of the Royal party, but the admiration of the vast mul-
titude assembled, amounting to at least 30,000 persons. The
weather, though threatening in the morning, gradually cleared up,
and during the whole progress of the review was everything that
could be desired. We regret to state that an accident occurred
during one of the evolutions which at first bore a very alarming
appearance. While a column of the 4th Light Dragoons were re •
treating before a charge of the Grenadier Guards, one of the horses,
became restive, and rearing against the next in the rank, threw both
horse and rider to the ground, the man being underneath, the whole
weight of the horse falling on his body. For a few minutes he lay
quite insensible, and the general impression was, that he was killed.
Fortunately, however, the surmise was not correct, for in about
ten minutes, and after a draught of water had been procured, he
rallied, and ultimately was able to walk off the ground. By per-
sonal inquiry we learn that he had received no serious injury,
having only been stunned by the fall. Beyond this we did net
learn that any accident happened. We need only further add that
her Majesty, both on her arrival and departure, was received with
every token of loyalty and respect.

TO THE EDITO1? OF THE SUN.
Sts,—lt beieg remarked, as a rumour, in the Third Edition of
The Sun newspaper of Saturday last, " that the present Member
for Ross and Cromarty is about to retire to make way for an Hon
Baronet of his own name, with whom it is supposed that there
has long been an understanding to this effect," I beg to state that
any such rumour is altogether unfounded, and that I have no in-
tention of resigning the representation of these combined counties
in Parliament.

The paragraph in question adverts to other rumours, of which
I know nothing directly or indirectly.

your most obedient servant,
