THE HAGUE, MAY s.—Theyessel which is to perform
the voyage from Amsterdam to Vienna, on the Rhine,
the Maine, the Ludwigs Canal, and the Danube, was
built at Amsterdam expressly for the essay. This vessel,
which is called the Marien Zell, is wholly of iron, and is
200 tons burden, and, even with a full cargo, it draws
only fifty inches Austrian measure. If this trial succeeds,
as there is every reason to hope, an immense advantage
will accrue to the commerce of the countries on the
banks of the Danube, and those of Northern Germany,
which will enable theta to send their goods to each other
by this route, which will be much more rapid, and much
more economical than all those hitherto used. The second
Chamber of the States Government, in its sitting, after a
long debate, agreed to the first of the project of law for
modifying the first book of the penal code by a majority
of 32 to 24. On the project of law relative to the fisheries,
on the motion of the President, the Chamber formed
itself, for a short time, into a seeret Committee. The
sitting being made public, the discussion was opened
with the above project of taw, which was unanimously
agreed to. The discussion of the project on the Dedeme•
vaart was then opened, and it was almost unanimously
agreed to. The next subject on the order of the day was
the debate on the project of law for the construction of
a causeway between Maestricht and the frontier of the
province of Gelderland. His Excellency the Minister
of the Interior replied to the observations which occur
in the report of the Central Section, respecting the expense
of some portion of this causeway, and defended the pro.
ect of law, which was agreed to by a majority of 40 to 7.
The project of law modifying Chapter 11 of the Penal
Code was agreed to by a majority of 30 to 20.
In consequence of this vote the minister of justice de-
clared, the remaining chapter of Book 1, being closely
connected with that which had been agreed to, the de.
bate could not be continued, and the project of law
must be considered as withdrawn; on which the sitting
closed.

MALDON, MAY 2.—WRECKED GOODS.—Three barrels
and a kilderkin of porter, with an empty barrel and kilder-
kin, and a windlass and anchor, which were clandestinely
landed and concealed at the basin, by some Colchester fisher-
men, have this day (Saturday) bean recovered and secured
by the Comptroller of Customs. It is presumed they came
from a vessel belonging to Southwold, lately wrecked on the
Bucksea, a portion of whose cargo, consisting of a hogshead
of brandy and some casks of porter, has been taken into
Burnham, and delivered to the officer of customs. Five of
the casks landed here are branded Freeman, and the other
