(Recsived May 11, 1.30 p.m.) : AMSTERDAM, 10th May. Leading Hamburg merchants met and discussed the improvement of the canal systems in order to restore to Hamburg its lost trade. Dr. Mathies, President of the Chamber of Commerce, rejected the main Danube canal scheme as being too expensive and likely merely to benefit Rotterdam and Antwerp, which, he said, would never be German. The meeting passed a resolution urging the Government to construct the_ Elbe-Danube Canal as'speedily as possible.
