Tem HAQUE, Nov. 17.—1 n our number of the 16th
October we published accounts from Surinam of the 2d of
September, respecting the sickness prevailing among the
European colonists. Accounts to the 11th of that month
have now been received by the Colonial Department, which
state that the number of the sick was happily diminished.
There were none at the port of Groningen, and few at the
establishment of Voorzorf. The number of those who had
died was 141. Great exertions were making to get the
houses at Groningen ready to receive the families from
Voorzorf.

A letter from Odessa of 24th October, says,—" Trade is very
brisk here, especially in corn, in consequence of the accounts
received from England and the northern ports. A great
number of ships is in the harbour to take in cargoes of corn,
chiefly for England, Belgium, and ports in the Mediterranean.
The prices of wheat are kept high by the holders. Polish
wheat, of the best quality, fetches from 22 to 28 roubles
(assignats) ; good, 18 to 21 per chetivert. Maize and rye are
scarce, and fetch 11 to 12 roubles ; barley 9 to 91,(e ; oats 8
to 9. Green peas are scarce, and in great request for Ant-
werp ; the price is 17 to 18 roubles.
TuE HAGUE, Nov. 17.—This day being the thirty-second
anniversary of the restoration of the independence of the
Netherlands, was fixed for uncovering the equestrian statue
of his Majesty the King, in honour of the founder of our
liberty. The festive appearance, the numerous flags dis•
played on the public buildings and the private houses,
showed the interest the inhabitants took in the patriotic
ceremony ; and when, amidst the thunder of the artillery, and
the music of the national anthem, the covering was removed,
and his Majesty. with the Princes, at the head of the militia
and the troops of the garrison, passed round the statue to pay
military honours, the countless number who had assembled,
notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, rent
the air with their acclamations; thus expressing their at-
tachment and respect to the King and the Royal Family, and
their veneration for the memory of William of Orange, his
Majesty's august ancestor.
During the ceremony, and at the moment the statue was
uncovered, the Count de Niewerkerke, the author of this
fine work, had the honour to be complimented by his Ma-
jesty and all the Princes on the merit of this admirable
composition. This morning his Majesty sent to Count de
Niewerkerke the Cross of Commander of the Oaken Crown,
and Knight of the same order.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.—A new law respecting railways is
shortly expected, by which it is to be enacted that, hence-
forth, no director of a railroad shall make further calls till
they have proved to the Government Commissioner that the
money already paid has been properly applied.
Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Prince and Prin-
cess of Orange arc going to Stuttgard, to be present at the
marriage of the Princess Catherine of Wirtemburg to Prince
Louis of Wirtemburg.
