D UTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 30.—The Ilandelsblad communi-
cates the following remarkable comp itativo view of a.°
different kinds of sugar exposed for sale by the Com-
mercial Society of the Netherlands, from the year 1836
to 1844, inclusive :
Piculs. Brown. Yellow. Grey. White.
1836 313,058 35 20 28 17
1837 398,026 40 28 27 10
1e,38 477,851 40 20 28 12
1839 565,366 41 28 20 11
1840 794,280 41 11 30 171
1841 735,392 33 19 27 21
1842 732,126 31 13 26 30
1843 773,012 171 21 15 46:k
1844 732,440 16 5-16 18 2-10 11 4-10 58 9-16
The Handelsblad adds :—" The favourable result,
which has been obtained since 1836, is due to the en-
lightened zeal of M. Baud, the Minister of the Colo-
nies, who takes the greatest care to ascertain if the pro-
duct corresponds with the model specimens. Thus,
by degrees, from a given quality, more than two thirds
per cent. of white sugar have been obtained, and less
than two-thirds of brown, whereas in 1837 the quantity
of brown produced from the same quantity e, as mere
than double that of white ; and what renders this re,ult
the more happy is, that while the quality is constantly
improving there is-likewise an increase in the quantity,
as is evident from the preceding table.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 31.—The Staats Courant pub-
lishes a resolution of his Maiesty, dated Tilburg, 28th of
January, for the increase of the capital to the repayment
of the sixth .series of the insciiption, at 5 per cent., of
the national debt.

The Struts Courant publishes also the convention con-
cluded between the Netherlands and France on the 17th
of November, 1844, relative to the reciprocal extradition
of malefactors guilty of certain offences therein specified.
This convention was ratified at the Hague.
LEYDEN, JAN. 28.—We hear that his Majesty and
their Royal Highnesses the Prinks will honour with
their presence the celebration of the anniver.ary of our
University, on the Bth of February next, when the stu-
dents will have a grand masquerade in the evening. Pre-
parations are everywhere making to give lustre to this
interesting fete. The subject chosen—" The entry of
Count Floris 11.. with the Lewly created Knights of St.
James, for the Tournament at the Hague, in 1379"—is
national and important: The costumes will be elegant
and splendid. A great deal of comp.my from all the
neighbouring places is expected.
ROTTERDAM, JAN. 29.—There is a person in this city

who boasts that he is in possession of secrets, discovered
by himself, whi,.'h are of great importance to society in
general, and esp' cially to our country. Among them,
he says, that by long-continued research and experiment
in ice clearing, a river, however large or broad, and how-
ever obstructed by ice, may be cleared in a short time
and at a small expense.

THE HAGUE, Jae. 30.—His Majesty the King has re-
turned from Tilburg to. day. The Minister of Finance
gives notice that the opportunity to exchange Five per
Cents. for Four per Cent:. (the latter to be taken at 984)
has been made use of to the amount of 9,449,000 florins.

FLANDERS MAIL.
CHAMBER, OF REPRESEN TA"! IVES.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 31.—M. D. Foere concluded to-day
the speech which he begun yesterday, acknowledging
that if the proceedings of the Ministry had not been
always worthy of praise, it had given proof of excellent
intentions ; he promised to vote in its favour.
M. Castian, following M. de Foere, showed at the
very commencement some discouragement. Ile does not
believe that the moment for the triumph of the Opposi-
tion is yet come. The joint responsibility which M.
Nothomb has induced his colleagues to admit is a pledge
of his success. He sees in the speech of M. de Decker a
torch of discord to which he will not reply, because he
does not desire to raise irritating questions. The ser-
vices rendered on this occasion by M. de Decker to M.
Nothomb are in return for the services rendered by M.
Nothomb to Catholic opinion.
M. Castian then endeavoured to justify his party from
every accusation of intrigue and manceuvring. He de-
clared that he renounce I neither his colours nor his plan
of attack against the maj,)rity.
K de Haerne, in reply to M. Castian, expressed to
the left his entire distrust of the moral and economical
principles. lid would vote against M. Ory's motion.
M. iJevaux endeavoured to answer the question which
had been put to him from several quarters, viz., on what
basis he thought that a mixed Cabinet might be consti-
tuted? and he now admitted this time what he had before
always denied, that a mixed Ministry was preferable to
one that was homogeneous—only he thought that this
Ministry should be composed of the leading men of the
two great parties, to command the confidence of the
country.
The Minister of the Interior took notice of this con-
fession, and proceeded to show the impracticability of
containing in one Cabinet the representatives of the two
extreme opinions.
The Chamber was evidently weary. The discussion
was closed. The names of the Members being called
over, it appeared that 89 were present, and the question
being put on M. Or)'s motion for :gin address to the
King, there appeared 65 against it, and 22 for it. Two
Members, Messrs. De Chunay and De Smet declined

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AL GRAVESEND.—On Satur-
day morning, at an early hour, Gravesend was the scene
of another destructive fire, which, at one period of its
ravages, threatened to become as serious in magnitude
as the conflagration in June last. It commenced in the
same street, on the premises known as the Kentish lade-
pendett newspaper and printing-office, situate on the
north side of the street, adjoining the Pope's Head
public-house, withiu a few doors of High-street.
During the early part of the morning the compositors
and pressmen were on the premises, striking off the
paper, the Kentish Independent, it being 'publishing day,
and on their leaving at three o'clock the lights were safe
and extinguished, and the place was locked up. How-
ever, at about ten minutes before four o'clock the police-
man, in passing along the street, noticed an unusual
glare in one of the composing rooms. Among the first to
come to his assistance was Mr. Beard, a butcher, living
directly opposite, who breaking open the front door
with a weight, went into the premises with the police.
man, and, upon their proceeding up stairs, found
the flames confined to one room. Buckets of water
being at hand, they exerted themselves to suppress
it, but without any effect, and before many minutes had
transpired it burst from the windows, creating terror
and alarm to the whole people of Gravesend. In the in-
terim information had been sent up to the officers on duty
at the station under the Town-hall, who, it is but justice
to state, were very expert in turning out the corporation
engines. The alarm bell being rung, plenty of aid was
soon obtained, and the engines when got into play were
worked with considerable energy. The fire being ob-
served by a sentinel posted at Tilbury Fort, on the op-
posite side of the river, notice was given to the com-
manding officer of the garrison, who immediately dis-
patched a strong detachment of troops to the spot to do
what service they could for the inhabitants. By that
time the appearance of the destructive element was most
alarming ; it was blazing forth from the roof and every
inlet that the building contained—firing on one side
the Pope's Head public house belonging to Mr. Gould,
and on the other Lambert's eating-house, both of which
were fully expected to be .burned down. Very fortu-
nately the firemen obtained a good supply of water,
%Nhieli was copiously thrown into the blaze, g property in
all directi,ns, but for nearly an hour it appeared to have
little or no ciftct ; ultimately, however, by increased ex-
ertione, its progress was stepped, but not until the
Kentish Irdipende,,t office was gutted, and the two ad.
jaceut premizres, as above mentioned, greatly damaged.
Loh]) linouctram.—The Noble and Learned Lord
arrived at his mansion in Grafton-street yesterday af-
ternoon, from Paris, where his Lordship has been stay-
ing since he left his chateau at Cannes.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY
TO 'TIE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Neither does " Investigator" tell us in what re
>meets the metropolitan terminus of the London and
York line can be compared, in national importance,
or in its accommodation to the traffic from the manu-
facturing districts and from Lincolnshire, with the
exisiog and projected termini of the Eastern
Countie3.
He observes the same politic silence also with re-
ference to the proposed communication between the
main line of the London and York, and the Man-
chester and :heffield, and Manchester and Leeds
Railways ; not venturing to challenge my assertion,
that by the London and York scheme the connexion
of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing and mineral
districts involves 43 miles of new railway, whilst by
the Midland scheme the same object is as well, or
better attained, by the construction of 12 miles only.
Again, as regards the communication between
London and York, " Investigator" does not deny the
following facts: that the direct line involves the con-
struction of 1851 miles of railway, whilst the exten-
sion of the existing line involves the construction of
132 miles only ; that there will be no saving in time,
by the more direct route over the other; that the
distance saved is chiefly, if not entirely, saved between
London and Peterborough; that from York the line
must be made to Lincoln and from the south to Pe-
terborough ; that to accommodate the heart of Lin-
colnshire, and the population collected in the nume-
rous towns and villages along the Car Dyke, the line
must be continued from Lincoln direct to Peterbo-
borough ; that the chain of railway communica-
tion will then he complete from York to London via
Lincoln and Cambridge ; that another new, expensive,
and entirely competing line from Bawtry to London
cannot be j ustified on any ground ofnational importance,
and cannot hold out any reasonable prospect of return
to the proprietors. " Investigator" has charged me
with having stated " that for the first thirty miles
from London the York line invades some of the finest
garden ground to be found in England " I made no
such statement; what I did state was, "the first thirty
miles from London will require an enormous outlay
of capital, then the line will pass through some of the
finest garden land in England "—and this statement
is substantially and literally correct, as at or near
Biggleswade the line will pass through some of the
finest garden land in England. I refer to this trivial
charge against my accuracy as showing that the
writer could not impugn or call in question the more
important statements which my letter embodied, in
asmuch as it is the only instance of misstatement or
misrepresentation which he has ventured to attribute

:o me.
Mr. Herepath has published an excellent map of
he London and York line and its loop, as a supple-
ment to his last Saturday's paper ; if your readers
will refer to it, they will see how every statement
in my former letter is borne out. I could have
wished that Mr. Herepath had marked upon his map
the various competing lines ; hut if your readers will
extend the Northern and Eastern line from Cam-
bridge, by St. Ives, Ramsey, Peterborough, Market
Det-ping, Bourn, &c., to Lincoln, and thence, as the
Midland propose to carry it, by Gainsborough and
Doncaster to the York and North Midland at Monk
Frvstone, and will pencil out branches from Stamford to
Spalding, Heck ington to Boston, Doncaster to Swinton,
and from the North Midland to the Manchester and
Leeds Railway, by Griggleston and Gomersall, they
will perceive how completely the objects of the London
and York line may be attained at one-third of the
outlay which the construction of that line and its
loop will require, and without injury to existing
interests.
If I understand the general reasoning of " Inves-
tigator" correctly, it comes to this—that if the Lin-
colnshire lines are made the distance between London
and York will be reduced eleven miles only, and the
through traffic be retained on the Midland lines.
Now, by the Northern and Eastern and Cambridge
and Lincoln lines, the distance to Lincoln will be
136 miles ; if the line be carried on direct to York by
.the Lincoln, York, and Leeds direct and independent
(through Snaith and Selby), the entire distance
from London to York will be 194 miles, or
only eight more than by the London
and York ; if the line be carried •on
from Lincoln, by either the London and York, or
the Midland, the entire distance from London to York
would be about 200 miles ; so that " Investigator"
does not state the case fairly when he says that if the
Lincolnshire lines are made, the journey from London
to York would be 228 miles, or only 11 miles less
than by the present circuitous route.
With respect to the retention by the Midland of
the through traffic on their present lines "Investi-
gator" is equally wide of the mark ; it is clear that
the through traffic must be diverted from the
Midlands. When that Company found that the
public required, and would have a more direct
communication between London and York,
they proposed to make part of the chain,
and, at the same time, to connect Lincolnshire in the
most direct and cheapest way with the manufacturing
and mineral districts. The Cambridge and Lincoln,
and the Eastern Counties complete the chain, under
such arrangements with the Midlands as will secure

the quick and cheap transit of the traffic along the
entire line; in fact, the Midlands are bound by the
stongest of all" inducements to a public company—
their pecuniary interest—to pass the through traffic
along the new line; but, even if they were not so
bound, the Board of Trade would take care that the
public were neither retarded nor inconvenienced in
the use of any railway communication by the Midland
or any other company.
" Investigator" assumes that it never was the dis-
position cf the Northern and Eastern Company to go
northward beyond Peterborough; certainly they
would not do so if other companies would do it for
them, and so bring upon their line, already made, the
traffic which they relied on when their first Act was
obtained ; but if the London and ork is granted,
the Northern and Eastern line will be robbed of its
jet and legitimate traffic—all the district lying to the
north of Cambridge, round St. Ives, Ramsey, Hunt-
ingdon, Peterborough, and the whole of Lincolnshire,
as well as the through traffic, would be tlken from
them. I hold a large number of shares in the Eastern
Counties which I purchased, relying on their having
the traffic to which I have referred; and I do not
hesitate to say, that there is no existing line of railway
in the kingdom which will be more deeply, unfairly,
unnecessarily, and permanently injured by a com-
peting line, than the Northern and Eastern line will
be by the London and York, if that Company is
permitted to make a competing line from Peterborough
to London.

I am reminded by " Investigator" that Cam-
bridge is not on the direct route between Lon-
don and York, and " that the Cambridge and Lin-
coln line touches no great town on its route." In
return' I would remind " Investigator " that the
route from London to York, via Cambridge and
Lincoln, has been sanctioned by the Legislature, has
been selected and recommended by many eminent
engineers, at various times, since 1826, as the proper
trunk line for the country, and was, in fact, so se-
lected, in the the first instance, by the promoters of
the London and York, and that Cambridge, Peter-
borough, and Lincoln, all of which are touched by
the Cambridge and Lincoln line, and are directly and
best accommodated by it, are the largest and most
important towns on the route.
I will now briefly allude to the continuation
of Mr. Herepath's observations on the London
and York Railway, published in his journal of Satur-
day last. Mr. Herepath, like "Investigator," has not
attempted any reply to my letter, on the ground,
that he will not be drawn into a dispute on the merits
of the two lines. He has before frankly admitted
that, perfect as he conceives the London and York
scheme to be, be would rather the line had started
from Cambridge and gone into the York and North
Midland at Burton Salmon; for this opinion, which
by his own statement, he has repeatedly expressed to
the promoters of the London and York line privately,
I have no doubt he could advance sound and conclu-
sive reasons, which it would be difficult to reconcile
with the support he is now giving to the London and
York, and I can only regret that the promoters of
that line have not paid more attention to his opinion.
Mr. Herepath has gone into an elaborate exposition
of the character of the works OH the London and
York line, from items supplied (as I gather from his
article) by the engineer of the line, and they are
matters for an enj.ineer to deal with. As to the cost
of construction we are left to guess. Mr. Herepath
averages 330 miles or railway a 13,3301. per mile !!!
Now this is less per mile than the estimated cost of
the Cambrid.:e and Lincoln, which has neither
tunnels nor viaducts, nor an expensive city terminus,
and over a large p( rtion of which the works are of as
light and favourable a character as the hen and
chicken part of the London and York. It is not
upon such guesses as this that the decision of the
Board of Trade and of Parliament will be made. I

Strt,—My attention has been called to a letter in
the Morning Herald of the Ist instant, signed "In-
vestigator," which purports to be a reply to my com-
munication to you of the 23d of January last. I
have read "Investigator's" letter with attention ; and
I am Lure, if your readers will do the same, they
will agree with me, that though he sets out with the
admission that my view of the case is one of minutiae
and detail, he studiously abstains from any attempt to
show either that the facts stated by me are incorrect,
or that the conclusions which I deduced from them
are erroneous.
" Investigator" has not ventured to state that a new
line of railway from London to Peterborough is called
for, or can be justified, in a national point of view,
or that if made, it will be other than a directly com-
peting line with an existing railway. More than
this—he does nut deny that every town on its route
may be amply provided for by other lines of railway
now under tie consideration of the Board of Trade,
not one of which will interfere with existing inte-
rests.
