THE EVENING STAR.

There are later accounts from the Russian capital this
morning, which are wholly silent upon the subject of the
recognition of PHILIP by the Emperor. The Exchange on
London is a shade below 101. Sir EDWARD CODRING-
TON bad arrived at St. Petersburgh, and had an interview
with the Emperor. The letters from Odessa mention, that
a caravan of Tartar merchants, consisting of about 2,900
camels, laden with merchandize of the value of two millions
of roubles, had arrived at Oranbourg.

Several private letters have this morning been forwarded
to us for perusal, of which we are enabled to give the con-
tents in a few lines. These have been addressed to mer-
cantile gentlemen of high respectability, and we are inclined
to attach great credit to the important intelligence which
they convey. From Brussels, it is positively affirmed, that
negociations are still going on, for an amicable adjustment of
the differences between the Dutch and the Belgians ; and
further, that M. POTTER is to be the leading man in carry-
ing such arrangements into effect. The letters from Ant-
werp corroborate this news—adding, that the most respectable
part of the community unequivocally and decidedly advocate
the friendly settlement of the disputes in question. The
King of HOLLAND has issued a decree, which has bad the
effect of conciliation,—namely, that he forthwith abolishes
the duties on foreign corn. All these circumstances

have tended to a great improvement in the Dutch funds,
which arc now five per cent. higher than during last week.
Our City Correspondent notices some incautious statements,
which have aFpeared on the subject of the Netherlands ;
and to these statements much confusion has been ascribed.
The.tom n of Valenciennes, it appears, has recently served
as " a refuge for the destitute" of all parties.

By the Dutch steamer, which arrived at half past one
&clod; to-day, we have the following private communica-
tion from AmAterdam dated the Bth instant:—" The
Bank cootinties to discount at five per cent. and ad-
vances money on Dutch stock, at two per cent. under
the marki.t price. Private individuals have brought
out their money, and advance it upon all stock.—
The proclamations of the Prince and the King,
have given great satisfaction; likewise the change in
the !:inistly, and the measure of reducing the duty

in grain, by more than half, has pleased the working'
and lower classes; and there is every appearance of confi-
dence being restored. Dutch 21 42-3 i per cents. 57i."

The intelligence which we have to communicate in our
present Paper, is all of a more agreeable character than it
has lately been our task to record.
The Quarterly Account of the Revenue will be found in
our first page ; and, we believe, that in the eyes of most
people, it will be thought much more favourable than was to
have been expected. The deficiency is small, and can be
explained, without having recourse to unsound reasoning.
We deprecate any such proceeding in a public writer; for
the people should be inured to hear the truth, even when
much more appalling in nature, than any vacillation in the
amount of Revenue can be. As long as they perceive in
the Government an honest anxiety to diminish expen-
diture ; to shield the country from war ; and, at the
same time, preserve its international rights entire,
they should feel some satisfaction, that the evil is not
aggravated, and not be intimidated, like imprudent traders,
from investigating its real extent.

The news from Belgium, under the head of Foreign
Intelligence, does not afford much room to expect an early
accommodation of the question between the KING of the
NETNERLA sDs and his revolted subjets. We notice, how-
ever, that the information that has reached us to-day,
as far as we may judge of the opinions of people on
the scene of events, is rather favourable to the hopes
of some arrangement between the parties still taking
place. We should wish that tho Belgian people would
descend a little from the high tone they appear to hold ;
for after all that has occurred, we believe their own
Princes might supply a King for them better than
any Family, from which they have to chuse ;—and such a
selection, made under judicious contract and guarantee, would
have the great advantage of terminating the animosity, and with
it the interruption to private transactions, which, to a com-
mercial people, must be so ruinous. We hope the next ar-
rival will confirm the favourable impressions, which am pre-
dominating this morning in the Dutch commercial circles.

By the express received this morning from France, we
rejoice to see, that the measure of abolishing the punishment
of Death, appears to have a majority of the French Cham-
bers in its favour. We conceive this will be truly a sublime ter-
mination of the late revolution. Thus, will the French nation
make atonement for the horrors of the first revolution ; and
relieve the national character from the obloquy which it had
justly, but unfortunately incurred. The example it will, by
this measure, exhibit to Europe will be, we predict, invinci-
ble in producing a happy imitation. If once successful in
France, we are very sure that a similar change of penal po-
licy will pervade all Europe. It may disappoint some
pseudo stern moralists, who have found it difficult to re-
strain their dis-social opinions on the pending fate of the
present state prisoners of France; but we consider the adop-
tion of such a humane reform in legislation, as ono of the
greatest events which could distinguish the age ; and we
regret that it did not originate in this country.

With great concern, we refer to an account of the most
disastrous intelligence ever received of the Greenland
fishery; for which we are this day indebted to our friends
of the Hull Rockingham. Among the merchants engaged
in the whale fishery the greatest excitement prevails; and
the amount of suffering which must be felt, in consequence
of these heavy losses, certainly forms a subject of serious
consideration and universal sympathy.
The disturbances in Germany, to which we have already
alluded, still continue, particularly in the territories of Hesse
Cassel and Hesse Darmstadt.
The Darmstadt Gazette, of the 2d inst. contains the fol-
lowing:—ln the course of last and the night before, a band
of 4 or 5000 men appeared at Melbach, and committed se-
rious excesses. The inhabitants being too weak to resist,
remained quiet; but during the disorderly proceedings of
the insurgents, the inhabitants of Sodel and Wachtersbach
came to the succour of those of Melbacb, and having joined
them, drove out the rebels from the place, and made
nine of them prisoners, who were conducted to Fried-
berg under an escort. The prisoners maintain that
they were forced by the rebels to march with them—which
they lament, and implore pardon. Another column, equally
large, arrived at about ten o'clock the same night at Fier-
stadt, where they sounded the tocsin, and entered, with
horrible threats, into the manor-house of Law, which they
ravaged. The inhabitants of Florstadt having assembled in
the interval, fell upon the rebels, drove them out of the
town, and made six prisoners, who were likewise taken to
Friedberg. The column of the insurgents who marched upon
the Vogelsberg, arrived at Schoten at half-past 8 the night
before last; they committed atrocious excesses during the
night in several public buildings, and almost demolished
the house of the Receiver of the Renton. The Provincial
Counsellor, the Judge of the Tribunal, and all the clerks of
the office, were compelled to take to flight, to avoid being
massacred. The inhabitants of the district of Schoten be-1
held these proceedings with horror, but took no part in them.
Yesterday morning the band quitted Schoten, and proceeded
further towards the Yogelsberg. But a small portion of the
rebels had fire-arms—the rest had bludgeons. The insur-
gents are of the lowest class of the people, and their avowed
object tends to nothing short of anarchy. They seek to an-
nihilate public order, to overthrow the authorities, and bring
on a state of complete licentiousness, in which every one may
do as he pleases."

The Academie Francaise, in Paris, at its last sitting, be-
stowed the prize of 15,000 francs (6001) annually given as the reward of
acts of virtue, to the wounded on the three glorious days in July. The
prizes most useful to general morality were thus awarded s—To 51. Lay,
for his work on Political Economy, 8,000 francs (3201) to M. C.
Lucas. for his Treatise on the Penitentiary system in Europe and the
United States, 6,000 francs (24014—t0 Al. Norris, for his Poem on the
Immortality of the Soul, and M. Allman de Chant, for his work, en.
titled "Des Abuses des Loix et des Mauro," 3,000 francs (1201)
each. The subject of the prize poem, for the ensuing year, is the " Li.
terary Glory of France."
It is recorded of a fashionable fishmonger of the West-
end of the town, that having received a commission to send down fish
for a grand dinner on a certain day,to a valuable customer in the county
of Sussex, the disconsolate housekeeper acquainted her mistress at six
o'clock that the London coach had made its appearance without the
expected basket. After various murmurs touching the unpunctuality of
tradesmen, a second soup was ordered to supply the deficiency.—
" Impossible, Madam !" replied the lady of the still-roan, •' it
is too late; and looking out into the courtyard, she announced that
a chaise and four had already arrived with some of the company ;
when lo! out stepptd the conscientious Mr. —, turbot in hand!
The morning's market having afforded no fish worthy the table of Mr.
11—, he had waited the arrival of his own arts, and to avoid dia.
appointment, immediately set oat, fall pllop, from London to the
Fount.—Court Journal.

CITY, HALF.PIST ONE.
The French prises by the Express come lower than on
Friday ; which is owing to the London Courier being re-
ceived at Paris, which stated that 40,000 Prussians were
going to enter Belgium ; and on Saturday evening the same
paper made a Second Edition of the King of Holland having
ran off from his capital ! Both which communications are
totally groundless; as well as the Courier's statement of
the deficiency of the quarter's revenue.
Consols which left off on Saturday at 84 i for the Ac-
count, opened at 87, and are at present 87 to
