lands Bank. We have the pleasure of assuring our
readers that no forged notes hay.e been presented at the

Section nixie its report otu the project of law relative, to

GOTTENBURG, MAY 19.-4 t, is stated and positively
certain, that an uncommonly large ship's deck which is
presumed to have belonged to a great steam-boat, has
been found by fishermen in the Cattegat, and towed into
Marstrand.
MENTZ, MAY 23.—Yesterday evening, the fol-
lowing accident occurred here. Of the two
floating baths, which lie on our bank of the river,
each containing at least thirty apartments for bathers,
one suddenly sank yesterday evening a little after six
o'clock, so that the persons of both sexes who were bathing
had scarcely time to escape, a few in their shirts, and
most of them quite naked, by running across AMPs
barges, and thus saving themselves from certain death, 1
The bath sank immediately with the clothes of the
bathers and all that it contained. Heaven be praised, no
lives were lost. As soon as the circumstance was known,
thousands of inhabitants hastened to the bank of the
Rhine, many of them to look for their relations, whom
they, knew to be in.,the bath, and to bring them clothing.
As tar as is yet known, the accident was not caused by
any external violence, nor by wind or storm, for the
weather was calm, but by the springing of a leak in the
bottom of the vessel, which is said to be old and crazy.
BRUSSELS, MAY 27.—Count Gorowski hag obtained
for these three day,s past, permission to go about the city
without restraint, on giving his word of honour not to
go to any distance out of it. The day before yesterday
the would be son-in-law of the Infant Pon 1 rancis di
Paulo, was st}en driving in the Alleeverte, in an open
chariot, in company with Prince Linoski, his country-
man, who arrived on Uontlay from London, at Antwerp,
on board the Princess Victoria steam-boat.
On the 24th of this, month, a farm-house in the com-
mune of Hernsentruberg, was struck by lightning ; the
whole was in flames in an. instant, so that the larnetes
had scarcely time to escape. The damage aim:punts to
25,000 francs.
The heat of the weather for some days past has
been so great, that it is difficult to air the mines, so that
fresh accidents are apprehended in those coal mines, in
the province of Liege, which are subject to explosiola of
fire-damp.
BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—Baron Dieskau, orderly-officer
to his Majesty the King, and another officer •of the
household, are gone to Ostend to receive the Duchess of
Kent.
POSEN, MAY 16.—We understand that the details of
the grand reviews for this year have been received, and

shall place near Lennitz in Silesia, but that orders have
been given to the 7th Corps of the Army to be there at
the same time with our sth Corps, so that there will be
60,000 men, with more than 200 pieces of cannon.
