DEATH OF THE KENO OF HOLLAND.

We regret to announce the death of his majesty
RilHam IL, King of the Netherland', which toot
pace at the Hague, on Saturday last. His mikjeary's
death arose from inflammation of the longs. He was
in the fifty-eighth year of his age.
The late :king was 'threat din England, and had
been in every relation intimately connected with
this country. Having been driven from Holland
wkh his father on the foundation of the Batavian Re-
public, he was placed under the charge of the late
Arad:lllop of Canterbury, and received his educa-
tion from that distinguished prelate. At the age of
19 ae was appointed, as Prince of Orange, a liente-
nant-xtlonel of the British army, and served as extra
aidede-camp with the Duke of Wellington in the
Peninsula from 1811 to 1814. He was present at
the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, and Badajoz, and the
lades of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, and Nivelle.
He commanded the Dutch troops in the cianpaign of
1815, and the Ist Corps d'Arniee at the bade of
Waterloo, in which be was severely wounded, alter
havng taken an active part in the preceding en-
gagements. _ _ _ _ _ .

His conduct in reference to the Belgian revolution
in 1830, and the protracted negotiations to which it
gave lee, are too well known to require rotice here.

SPAIN.

We have journals and oonespondenee front Idadrid
to the 12th inst. inclusive. Our correspondent writes :

MADRID, MAacit 11 sad 12.
Rumours about the desire of the government to get
up a pseudo movement still obtain. The Popular,
an evening ministerial paper, had an article in Satur-
day's number, and another in Sunday's, concerning
the revointionary schemes of the progresistss.
The resignation of General Concha and the appoint-
ment of General Villaloop in his room is confirmed.
The resignation of Concha is in consequence of his
refusal to make reprisals on Carlist prisons's, in
revenge for Cabrera's putting to death the Baron de
Abella.
The progimista journals still complain of not
receiving their usual correspondence from Catalonia.
This gives rise to all kinds of rompers unfavourable
to government.
The Gast& of yesterday contains a decree pro-
laiting the provincial authorities from signing peti-
tions to the queen begging the reprieve of individuals
condemned to death. The Cortes have closed the
dimnision of the Clergy Dotation Bill, which has
pared. In it the eccleidastical sinking fund and the
principle of the tithe system are restored. Today is
the discussion on the Bank Bill. This bill gives the
monopoly of credit to one single bank, dependant on
the t, and alone possessing the faculty of
notes payable to the bearer. The banks of
one and Cedis are alone excepted from this
measure, and retain the privilege of emission, if they
do not unite with that of Madrid, which will be
opened with a capital of two hundred millions of reels
(2,000,000 L) in cash, represented by 100,000 shares
of 2,000 reels (201.) each. The bank will have
the facility of emitting_ notes to the amount of
100 millions. (1,000,0001) rtes, and will hold in de-
posit, for the payment of them, the third partat least
of their value in hard cash or ballion,and,as &reserve,
10 per cent. of the effective capital. This banking
scheme, like all the laws of the present gorTn-
meat, savours of the monopolising and restrictive
spirit that prevails among them. The true, the great

Janet Steger, a tra74:Wh7;iiisitit in the Nottingham
Vagrant Office on the previous night, was charged with at-
temOing to set firs to a straw stack at Risley. It appeared
that when on his way from Nottingham to Derby, in com-
pany with a weever who was out of work, the prisoner went
to the back premises . f the promoter, Mr. Bloodstone, to
ask for relief. On being refused he went into the stack yard,
and on returning to his companion (Roney Wilson)
who was waiting on the Toed ; he said, " Come on, you'll see
a fiare-up Wilson asked him what be meant;
he said, "I have set fire to cae of the stacks." Wilson im-
mediately went and informed the prosecutor, and on examin-
ing a straw stack, they found a lighted torch, red hot, barr-
ing. The straw near it was scorched, and had the stack
ignited, othem would undoubtedly have been destroyed also.

M. Lyme., 58, was arraigned on the coroner's inquisition,
which charged him with causing the deaths of John Hoare
and Samuel Hoare, at Broadwinsor. The children were the
infant children of a dairyman' who, instead of taking
them to • properly qualified practitioner, allowed the
prisoner to perform on them the dangerous operation of ino.
culation. The prisoner acted efferently from kind motives,
but the learned Judge pointed out that by the 3 &
Vac., sap. 29, he had rendered himself responsible for the
death of the children. Verdict, Guilty. Sentenced to two
days' imprisonment.
CHARGE OP STABBING.

G. Davis was indicted for stabbing William Belt, with
intent to kill and murder him. The parties were et
conversing together in a public-house at Weymouth, and
their Isamu getting warm the landlady took the prisoner I
by the shudders and shut him out of the back door, which II
was opposite to his lodgings. The prisoner rushed into his
house and seizing up a shoemaker's knife, returned, going sj
round the house to the front door and going up to the prose-
eater he stabbed him deep in the abdomen, indicting a very
serious wound. The prisoner was found Gailly, and the *
judge ordered sentence of death to be recorded.
The assists were terminated at an early hour.

SARDINIA.—The arrest of Garibaldi hes caused
an exceediegly tierce teens in the Chamber of
Deputies at Turin. Liberal orttors demanded

pleaded that Garibaldi by taking service under the

could thus be treated as an alien. In despite of this
mean and beggarly defence the chamber voted that
the sweet of Garibaldi was an outrage on the rights
of a eitisswiteed an insult to the Labia satire.
A letter from Turin of the 11th inst. contradicts a
report that the ministers had resigned in concsquesce

authorities, and also by several committees of both houses
The working classes were susceptible of two great divisions,
namely, the agricultural or peasant classes, and the artisans or
operatives who inhabited the large towns and manufacturing
districts. The successive reports on the poor laws and their
administration, tram 1817 to 1834 gave a most deplorable
account of the condition of the agricultural el tinder the
operatim of the poor lows as they existed up to the latter
year. In the year 1836 • stern and severe poor law was
substituted for the former syrem, and his present object
sea to inquire whether the labouring population was in any
respects better off than it bad been under the former sTstem.
The reports of that commission would show what, it any,
improvement in the condition of the poorer claws in our
large manufacturing towns had been made. The rate of
mortality was perhaps the best criterion that could be taken
of the general health of those clews. The avenge rate of
mentality throughout the country was something more than
two per cont. In the large towns it was 2.6 3, and 3 6, and in
some of the more densely populated parts of those town.,
as the courts and alleys, where the poorest of the people con-
gregated, it was 4.6, and even as high as 6 per cent. In
1838.9, the Poor Law Commission reported as to the unitary
condition of the poor in the eastern part of London, and in
1840 a committee of the Rouse of Commons was appointed
to inquire into the health of towns p nerally. From the re-
port of that committee, he would now read some extracts.
An Hort. Merluza here noticed, that there were not 40
members present, and on inquiry this being found to be the
ewe, the house stood adjourned at a quarter past 8 o'clock.

ceed to Japan, to bring away the crew of the Ame-
rican whaler Lagoda, recently wrecked on the coast.
It wee said the Chinese bankers were withdrawing
their capital from Canton, anticipating disturbances
in April; end, upon Chinese authority, it was said
that flee, the imperial commissioner, had held a con-
sultation with the elders and gentry on the question of
opening the city to the English. He is reported to
have told them that he is not in a position to resist
by force of arms, nor is he disposed to incur the 'nen.
mary and political responsibility of comirg to an
open rupture with the barbarians; so that, if they are
to be kept out, the gentry and the people must them-
selves provide the men and mean. This, it is added,
they very generally undertook to do.
H.M.S. Hastings, H.M. steamers Inflexible, Fury,
and Medea were at Hong Kong. H.M. brig Colum-
bine and sloop Scout at Foochow. H.M. brig Mariner
at Weaning. H.M. sloop Arab at Whampoa. There

that the junk season had commenced, and several had
already arrived. The Auckland and Pluto steamer
were at the settlement, the latter about to start for
Calcutta, and the former for Ceylon. H.M.S. Meander

The English funds opened this morning at the
closing prices of yesterday, the first transactions in
Consols being at 901 to I for the April account. Some
speculative sales sent them down to 90i to 1, but
they soon rallied, and went up to 91, finally closing
at 90; to 91 fur the account, and 901 for money.
Beak Stock and India Stock have both been firmer
to-day, but in Exchequer Bills and India Bonds we
have no new feature to report. Exchequer Bills are
quoted 395. to 425. pm., and India Bonds, 48s. to 501.
Money continues abundant in the Stock Exchange,
and has, to-day, barely maintained the rate of two
per cent. for abort periods.
In foreign secanties the most remarkable feature
has been a further rise in Buenos Ayres Bonds of
from 3 to 4 per cent., arising. from the issue of the
following notice this morning by Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co. :

Messrs. Baring Brothers beg to inform the holders of
Buenos Ayres Bonds that they have this day received infor-
mation that his Excellency Governor Roses has recom-
mended, In his mernge of Ist Jan. last, to the representa-
tive body of the Argentine Republic the renewal of the pay-
ment of 6,000 dollen a-month, to commence in Jan. last,
and to be applied in part payment of the interest due on the

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.

CANADA.—We find in the New York Courier
and Enquirer, of 7th March, the following notice of
a legislative measure of the Canadian parliament,
respecting which an unnecessary degree of appre-
hension has been sought to be excited in this country.
In the Caudle a good deal of excitement is prevalent by
reason of the recent legislation for indemnifying those in-
habitants of Canada East, who were sufferers in property
during the rebellion some years ago; this measure is taken
amiss by the population of English descent, inasmuch as its
Imams will inures to the Canadian Freneb, whose loyalty to
the throne is more than suspected. The government, never-
theless, have carried the measure through parliament, and the
effervesence of the popular mind seems to be passing off.
The occurrence, however, in the feelings developed by it,
will add another to the element, of discontent, already ex-
letinfr in the Cenadu, and tending to alienate them front the
mother country. As to other quarters on this ontinent, there
seems nothing of special interest to commemorate.

SPAIN.

We have received our Madrid correspondence with
the journals of the 6th inst.
The debate in the Spanish Chamber of Deputies ou
the address in answer to the speech from the throne
was brought to a close in the sitting of the 6'h. After
speeches from M. Benavides and M. Bravo Murillo,
Gineral Narvaez replied at some length to the attacks
that had been made on the government. With respect
to the expulsion of Sir H. Bulwer he was brief; be
world not answer, he said, to what had been mated 11
in the English House of Commons on the subject, bat
he protested against the assertion that had been made.
that the queen owed her throne to the co-operation of
the English, and that consequently they wereentitled
to interfere in Spanish affairs; the queen, he declared,'
was seated on the throne in virtue of her rights, of
the will of Gud, and of the efforts and loyalty of her
',abject', and in no other manner could there be kings
in Spain. (This drew forth loud applause.) He then
rid, that the documents which had been published
sufficiently explained the question, but though they
were not all, no others would be given, as the govern-
ment wished the matter to fall into oblivion, and to
see the two nations resume their former relations,
which were for the benefit of both. He declared
that in what had taken place there was no intention
to offend the Englis'. government, or Great Britain.
and still less tl.e queen 4 such • great and powerful
nation, and that the Spanish government would do all
in its power, consistent with its honour and the
independence of the country, to effect a reconciliation.
As to France, General Narvaez said that it was his
duty to declare that the government of that country
had observed a noble and generous line of conduct,
which bad prevented great evil, to Spa'n. The con-
duct of Lamattine, of M. Butide, and of the illustrious
General C vaignac, Wes he added, worthy of the
est-cm of Vie Spaniard; and, in his opinion, the
foreigner the most worthy of the consideration and
the esteem of the Spaniard was the one who most
respected the queen and the country. The general,
on re anming his seat, was greeted with enthusiastic

applause.
The address was voted by a majority of 147 to 40.
The deputies of the moderate opposition vottd with
the minister,. M. Benavides voted with the ultra
minority.
There was no Boles on the 6.h, being the fete of
the Epiphany.

SURRENDER OF PESTH.

AUSTRlA.—Letters and journals of the ith
instant have come to hand from Vienna. The
report that Pestk and Ofen had been taken by the
Imperialists on the sth inst. is confirmed; the 12th
at my bulletin of Prince Windischgt atz announcing that
event having been officially published in Vienna on the
7th. It is stated in the bulletin that no opposition
was offered, and that further details will be given.
Oa the 4th inst., Windischgratz (u before stated)
had moved his head-quart: 1s to Bia, where, as well as
in Concurt••ny, the third army corps was stationed,
the first beii g in Teteny and Promontor, and the
second in Budaors and i•.s neighbourhood. It was
arranged to march the next day (the sth) on Path.
Whilst the first army corps was advancing, on the 3rd
inst., from Marlon Vasar to Teteny, the Ban came
into collision with the enemy near Hunssabeg, the
latter firing from some batteries posted on a height.
Oa the approach of the Imperialists, who returned the
fire, the %gyros fell back on Promontor, which they
abandoned on the 4'h for the heights of Ofen.
On the 31st alt. Major-gen. Gots began to act on
the off naive, and took possession, et that date, of
Thursowka. On the 2nd inst. his column attacked
the enemy, consisting of three battalions and some
thousands of National Guards, with a detachment of
cavalry and 14 pieces of cannon. After a contest of
several hours, the enemj , being attacked in the rear
end on the right flank, gave way, and fled across the
Wow, after having lost two cannons. It is stated in
one of the bulletins, that, according to intelligence
from Pancawa, up to the 31st alt , the imperial arms
were victorious in theßunat (Croatia)and thu districts
of the Lower D.nube. On the 24th alt., the troops
under Colonel Wernhardt had, after an obstinate fight,
taken possession of the_ important plum, Deutsch-
