DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 23.—The banns of marriage
of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar and
of the Princess Sophia of the Netherlands were pub-
lished to-day for the first time.
Accounts from Surinam of the 9th of July have
been received here, which were extremely favourable.
We hear from Breda that there was lately found
at Oosterwick, at the depth of six feet below the sur-
face of the earth, the remains of one of those antedi-
luvian animals, which it is supposed ought to be
classed with the elephant. These remains, though
petrified, are in a good state of preservation, espe-
cially the grinders, seven in number, which weigh
131bs. It appears certain that one of the canine teeth
must have been five feet in length. These monstrous
remains are being collected with great care, and it is
intended shortly to publish a description of them.

POLICE IN EUROPE AND GO-
VERNMENT IN AMERICA.
At a meeting of the Birmingham Anti-Corn-law
Association, held on Thursday last, Mr. James Bald-
win quoted a small card, which had been published,
which he considered ought to be republished in every
shape and form throughout the town, showing the ex-
pense of the borough police-force of Birmingham, as
compared with the entire expense of maintaining the
Government of America. The following were the
contents of the card :

This statement is striking enough, even without
the exaggeration contained in it. The account of the
expense of the American Government does not include
the army and navy, nor the privates and subalterns of
the executive Government. The account of the Bir-
mingham police embraces the whole expense. That
the officers only of the Birmingham police costs one
third as much as the principal officers and Judges of
the Government of the United States is a good exem-
plification of our official extravagance and their
economy.

ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR.—On Thursday last,
just as the Lady Charlotte was about to sail from
Cardiff, the attention of P. C. Perkins was drawn to a
-on in a sailor's dress, who was exhibiting money
