DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL?

MAY 21.

Tux Hamm. —The debate on the Law for repressing
the abuses of the Press (or rather, as the title runs, for
repressing the crimes of outrage anal calumny) was con-
tinued ; and after a pretty animated discussion the Minister
of Justice r6se to defend the project from the ohjeattione
urged against it; but on putting the question, the Mow
ben were found to he 52 for, and 52 against it, on vo4lielt.
it was decided to adjourn the debate to the next day. lata
the Deputies of the Northern provinces, except four, asirts(l4
fur the proposed law.
May 24.—The Minister stated that he hod received It•
letter, writter by the Secretary of State, to the effect that,
from observations made in the Second Chamber, during
the debates on the law for the repressing of the crime of
outrage and calumny against the public authority and the
general tranquillity, it appears to his Majesty that the last
part of Art. 3, in particular, had given rise to objections,
and that the law would not be adopted with that harmony
which his Majesty wishes in a matter of so much import-
ance. His Majesty still thinks that the clear and precise
penal enactments against the exciting of troubles and
disunion between the citizens, are important to the in-
terest of society for the cure of an evil, the existence of
which is undeniable, and al hich ought to be repressed„
however, his Majesty is inclined to withdraw, for the pre-
sent, the last paragraph of Art. 3, which may be brought
forward at some future period, should experience prove that
the law so modified is insufficient."

The Third Article row runs thus—" Whoever shall
wickedly and publicly, in whatever manner, and by what-
ever means, have attacked the obligatory force of the laws
or excited to destroy them, shall be punished by imprison-
ment from six months to three years. This, however,
shall he no impediment to the liberty of prosecution or
defence before the tribunals, or other Constitutional
Authorities."

In this new article, the words " trouble and disunion'
are omitted, and the construction of the sentence altered•
After some debate, the new article was referred to the
sections as a matter of form, and on the renewal of the
discussion, several of the opposing Members declared them—
selves satisfit d with the law as it now stood.

On the question being put, there were—
For the law

Majority., —Bl
Five Members only absent.

The attacks upon Mr. KEMBLE, relating to
Mre. DavEstroax's benefit, ...;•e not only unjust, but per—
fectly untrue. Mrs. DAreisrOP.T never solicited Mr.

of the actors from Drury-lane. CHARLIE!! KEMBLE ire
admiration of the great talents of Mrs. DAVENPORT, and
his deep regret at her retirement from the stage, appointed
her benefit night a week or ten days earlier than, by long-
established custom, and her rank and salary in the Theatre,
she was entitl,d to, and fixed the night before Epsom
races, whicii is considered by actors the best of the season.
In addition to which he eontributrd gratuitously the ta—
lents of Lir daughter, Alias FANNY KEIII3I.X. By tlose
various aids, and the liberality of the public, this much
regretted actress received five or six hundred pounds.--
Mrs. Dave-Neoax has subsequently expressed herself grate—
ful to Mr. KEMBLE for his kind attention to her interests.

It is understood, in fAct we believe there is
no doubt of the same, that the investments on the part of
the Scotch Banks, within the last two or three weeks,
have been very huge indeed, exceeding one million and a
half sterling, but that they are not likely to be continued.
Looking at this circumstance, as well as the operations of
the Directors of the Bank of England, in the whole swel-
ling the amount of stock taken out of circulation, there
can be but one inference to be drawn front it, that a sort
of double game has been played, and that while certain
parties are buying openly, and who are made dupes for this
occasion, another pArty is getting out of stock. Th a
money market is certainly, at the present moment, ill
such a position that it ought to be narrowly watched lsy
the public ; and immediately we are enabled to detect army
decided symptoms of a disposition on the part of the mo-
nopolizers of stock to abandon their system, we shall mot
fail to give the earliest possible notice of the same...—.

PRIDE OF DRESS.—At a meeting-house
near Exeter, a short time since, the preacher astonished
some of his hearers by exclaiming, with his voice raised
above the concert pitch, and with a twang savouring
strongly of former occupation—" I warn you against
pride !—you that wear four yards in your gown sleeves,
and bonnets like rainbows—who take as inucAt rigging-
out as one of his Majesty's 64. gun frigates !1 !" The
hint iiad a very powerful effect, if not the exaqt effect the
orator intended, as the blushing fair-ones began to move
and presently displa)ed to his view a large fleet of fri-
gateg, in full sail, towards the door !—Desouport Te-

In a party the other evening, where the merits
of the Dn.:DONNELL case was warmly discussed; a gentle-

fowls to feed off his body All you can make of that
(said the lady) is that, like many ether married men,
he was lanpcOed 1"
