DUTCH MAIL.

AMSTERDA Di, Arun, 12.—The King arrived here this
morning at rine o'clock, and alighted at the Palace,
appearing at the balcony : he was enthusiastically
greeted by the assembled multitude. The Queen and
Princess Sophia, and the Princes, (lid not arrive till the
afternoon. His Majesty's Levee to-day was very nu-
merous and brilliant. The Consuls of foreign Powers
being first presented, Mr. Bennet, the Russian Consul,
the senior of the Consuls at Amsterdam, addressed his
Majesty, chiefly to congratulate him on the approach-
ing marriage of the Princess Sophia and the Hereditary
Grand Duke of Saxe Weimer, hoping that the happiness
of the august couple would indemnify his Majesty for the
painful separation from a beloved daughter. His Ma-
jesty replied to this address with much feeling.
It is said that their Majesties will remain here about
a week.
THE HAGUE, APRIL Dedel, our Minister at
London, has just arrived here.
Fnertnroirr, APRIL 9.-Accounts from Berlin say
that the choice of a successor to Baron Bulow, as Prussian
representative in the German Diet, is not yet deter-
mined on.

A letter from Berlin, in the Oleon Duitsche Zeitung of
the 4th of April, says that General Gretten is spoken of.
The same accounts say that the Emperor of Russia is
expected in August in the Rheingan, where the Empress
and her daughters will arrive before him. His Majesty
and the King of Prussia will visit the Prussian camp
together, and thus refute (this seems to be chiefly in-
tended) all the malicious reports of a coolness between
them, which have been promulgated by the English and
French Journals.—Dutch Papers, April 13.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The English Stocks arc again better, upon the
certainty that the market is not likely to be interfered
with by a proposition for further loans, or such like
means of raising supplies. It has been before stated,
that at the time the plan of an income tax was brought
forward, the state of the monetary interest was such, that
no difficulty would arise if the whole of the outstanding
Exchequer bills were funded, and such an amount re-
issued as might be necessary for the public exigencies.
Had such a proposition been carried into effect, one
great result would have been achieved of giving to
future holders a fur more secure document than
they have at present, as well as relieving the market
of the whole of the unfunded debt. The strange
sight is now presented, of a Three-and-a-Half per
Cent. Stock being above
,par, Exchequer Bills bear-
ing a premium of 2 per cent., and the Bank of England
discounting at 4 per cent. -
The settlement has passed off very quietly, and Con-
sols left off at 911 for Money, and 91+ for the Ac-
count ; New Three-and-a-Ifalf per Cents., 10011,- I ; Bank
Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 242 244; Exchequer Bills,
38 40 prem.

The prices of Railway Shares arc as yesterday, ex-
cept Brighton and Great Western, both of which have
improved, the former to 36?,- 37i, the latter, whole
shares, 291 301, and the Half-Shares, 151 16 premium.

4 discount. _ .

By Watson's Telegraph :—The Beulah, with troops
for India on board, is on shore on Dungeness Point ;
two steamers have gone to her assistance.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sole occupation of parties connected with the Stock
Exchange, is that of arranging the various accounts, this being
the settling day in Consols and Shares, and to-morrow in
Foreign Bonds, Settling in the latter has now become a

dead iettei since the public have ceased to deal in most of
these documents, the speculators, therefore, having the
whole of the jobbing in their own hands. This state of
affairs is not to be wondered at, when it is considered that the
generality of the Governments have v.rtually repudiated their
debts, and the Bonds can be purchased at less than the amount
of the interest now due upon them. Besides, a large number
of these republics and monarchies have been so wilfully un-
mindful of obligations contracted under the most solemn and
binding circumstances, the Spanish Treasury Bonds, for ex-
ample, that no reliance will be placed upon any future pro-
mises, each as it is made being received as the basis of some
new trickery.
Prices of English Funds and Rai:way Shares are firm ; the
Account, in the former, having been a bear one. The Money
price of Consols is now 91 91k, and 91i ifor the Account;
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 100 k 100* ; Three-and-a-
Half per Cents., Reduced, 99k 9911; Bank Stock, 166 1661, ;

South Eastern, 29/ ; Manchester and Leeds, 82 I,‘ ; Eastern
Counties, 93. Brighton have been principally in demand and
have improved to 36/.
The nominal quotations of Foreign Bonds are, Mexican,
40 41 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 243 24. i.; and the Three
per Cents. 25k.
It had been expected that some alteration would have been
proposed in the rates of duty on confectionery ma...!e in the
Channel Islands, for the purpose of affording a degree of pro-
tection to the work people here ; but the expectation has been
disappointed. According to the duties now levied, the articles
produced in Germany can be sold here much below the cost of
making them in England, owing to the sugar used in the manu-
facture being imported there duty free, and by the intended
scale they will be admitted upon terms still snore advantageous
to the outward makers. It has been urged in extenuation that
by allowing them to lie imported, and then re-exported in bond,
that new markets will be opened, on account of the reduced
price ; but this has been met by the fact that a new business is
being taught to the inhabitants of Guernsey, which will in time
supersede the employment of our own artisans in it.
