TUE ITAGuE.—The Avaterdanz kandelsblad says
that the Commandant of the Fortress of Maestrecht
has given orders that, in consequence of the extraor-
dinary position of Limbourg, precautionary measures
shall be adopted. The fortress is put in a
state of defence, the posts and guards have been
doubled both within and without. Those posts which
are,usually under the command of subalterns have now
been confided to superior officers, and general orders
have been issued that no officer on duty shall leave
the city.

The Journal de Ziege states that Maestrecht has
been declared in a state of siege, in consequence of
the restoration of the Frankfort Parliament.

Everything is quiet in the provinces, but the de-
cision of the National Parliament has caused an un-
favourable impression. General regret is, however,
expressed that the Netherlands Government did not
obviate this step by wise preventive measures.

CEYLON RAILWAY.

The adjourned annual general meeting of the pro.
prietors of the Ceylon Railway was held yesterth aftPr
noon at the dices of the company ; Mr. 11./.. Tindal,
was in the chair.

At the last meeting the report recommended that the
company should be allowed to stand in abey vice for a
short while, and that in the mean time a call of 10s. per
share be paid to discharge the liabilities ; ithe 55. per
share deposit having already been exhausted. The
report was adopted, but the directors were •only em-
powered to call up ss. per share.
The CHAIRMAN now stated that the call had been
made upon all the shareholders. Six thousand 3 lad signed
the deed, and thirteen thousand were registered, but
some doubt had arisen as to whether any othe r than the
shareholders who had signed the deed could he legally
forced to pay the call.

The meeting was further adjourned wit b out any
resolution upon this disputed point being ccane to. It
was stated that the company would be kept, open for
twelve months, when a meeting would be ,called to
decide how the concern should be disposed of.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS, August 1.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool
sack at Five o'clock.
ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
ECCLESIASTICAL DIVISIONS BILL. _

The Commons' amendments to this Bill were agreed to.
SAVINGS' BANKS (IRELAND).
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition fromcertain
depositors in St. Peter's Savings' I3ank, Dublin, which
had failed for 74,000/. In 1831, a Mr. Dunne was in
default and absconded with a large sum in his hands.
There was a great fault in international law with regard
to swindlers. He had given a judgment in favour
of Dr. Hussey for 60,0004 the person had
gone to France, and had died there with the
money in his possession, and there was no redress
for Dr. Hussey. In the same way Dunne had absconded,
and the people were advised to go on in the hopes of
making up the deficiency of Dunne. They went on
until the year 1845 subscribing, when 233,0001. was
drawn out, leaving only 30,0001. in the bank, and they
then stated to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
the gross mismanagement and the gross frauds which
had taken place without being checked by the authori-
ties. They had received deposits from persons exceed-
ing the amount permitted, contrary to law, and they
opened several accounts for the same individual, con-
trary to law. The Government of that day never ex-
pressed any disappraation, nor did they take any step
to express their disapprobation. They therefore
thought that all was right, and went on depositing
until 1847, when the savings'-bank proved insolvent,
having only 871. to pay 47,0001. There was no class of
the community more entitled to protection than the de-
positors in savings'-banks, inasmuch as giving encourage-
ment to them was discouraging those grovellers who
depended upon the relief to pauperism. He trusted
their Lordships would give these 1,500 depositors every
relief in their power.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to
say that the subject had been referred to Mr. Tidd Pratt,
but the Noble Marquis was nearly inaudible is the
gallery.
After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, the
subject dropped.

POLAND.

In Lemberg great excitement prevailed in conse-
quence of the new conscriptions.

THE DANUBIAN PKOTINCES.—Affairs have again
taken a turn here. The Previsional Government
has again got the power into their own hands.
Colonels ODOBESCO and SALOMON have, with
their men, joined the people. Notwithstanding
the announcement of the Russian Consul, nothing
positive has yet been ascertained respecting the ad-
vance of the Russian troops ; in fact it seems as if the
whole was a false report.

DUBLIN, JULY 31.
No later details of the conflict between the police
party and the rebel horde, commanded by Smith
O'Brien, have been received, than those forwarded
this morning; but the following, which may be re-
garded as an official account of the engagement, leas
been issued in the shape of a general order, by the
Dublin Metropolitan Police Commissioners, addressed
to the members of that force. This important docu-
ment mentions that the rebel army amounted to one
thousand—that seven of the rebels were killed, and
many wounded, whilst the small police force escaped
altogether :

It appears that it was at one time in contemplation
to appoint a Committee of War, and this had given
rise to the rumour that a Provisional Government
had been•established. Letters of the 24th ult. have
been received from Rome, which state that the Mah-
miani Ministry had retired, and that the POPE had
applied to M. Rossi to form a new Cabinet, but that
M. Rossi had declined.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS PREVENTION BILL.

Mr. MACKINNON moved the second reading of this
Bill, and intimated that if the motion was assented to he
did not intend to proceed further with the Bill this ses-
sion, as there did not appear to be any prospect of
passing it in the present state of business before the
House.

Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY trusted that, as there
was no prospect of passing the Bill this session, the
lion. Member would withdraw it altogether.
After a few observations from Mr. Cornewall Lewis,
the Attorney-General, Mr. Stafford, Mr. Healey, and
Lord Morpeth, who recommended the Hon. Member to
withdraw the Bill,. . .

Mr. MACKINNON ultimately consented to adopt the
suggestion, and postpone it until next session.

24 guns and 620 horse power, which was recently
launched at Deptford, having been built at that dock-
yard from a design of Mr. White, of Cowes, and which
was subsequently taken to the City Canal, to have her
engines put on board by Messrs. Seaward, was brought
yesterday to Woolwich, and left again to-day for Sheer-
ness, where she is to be completed for sea. Mr. White,
Messrs. Seaward, and a numerous party, were on board
yesterday, and the working of the engines and speed ac-
quired by her screw propeller gave satisfaction. She is
a powerful looking vessel, and with 300 tons of coals and
300 tons of iron ballast on board, draws 18 feet water
aft. Her armament will consist of eighteen 32-pounder
guns, 56 cwt. each, and 9 feet 6 inches long ; two 68-
pounder guns, 95 cwt. each, and 10 feet long, on pivot
slides and carriages ; and four 10-inch guns, 85 cwt.
each, and 9 feet 4 inches long, on slides and carriages ;
she will have a crew of 250 Men.
The report of the difficulty of steering the Teazer
screw propeller steam-vessel, when tried with two rud-
ders, has caused an order to be issued that she is to have
only one rudder.

EIPORTS.

Cotton—Although the news brought from China by
the last mail was favourable for the staple, the large
supplies lately gone forward to that market deterred
shippers from operating as freely as they would other-
wise have done. On the other hand, holders having
been unwilling to give way in price, purchases have
consequently only been made to a small extent. For
Eugland we hear of nothing doing. The late heavy
rain has tended in some measure to keep back supplies,
but we expect, now that the weather is completely
settled, that they will come forward freely ere many
days are over. We have to report the following pur-
chases:—

50 bales DoHera!) at lis. 86 0 per candy.

Opium--Since the encouraging accounts for the drug
which came to hand by last steamer, prices have given
wny, and purchases were made, but only to a very small
extent, at Bs. 1,250 per chest for b,.st quality. tiince
yesterday a still further decline has taken place, and our
quotations now are Bs. 1,200 per chest for best quality
Mutelleisir, and Es. 1,175 per chest for the produce of
Indore. The P. and O. Company's steamer Pekin, ap-
pointed to sail on the 19th instant, will take above 1,300

THE LOSS OF TWO EMIGRANT

SHIPS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sits,--In a paragraph of your paper of yesterday, re-
lative to the unfortunate loss of two emigrant ships, it
is stated that " the Long Sand has two light ships, one
on each extremity of it, sufficient to warn the mariner
of danger; probably, however, the hazy state of the
atmosphere obscured the lights."
There is no light vessel on the Long Sand. The Long
Sand lies between the Kentish Knock Sand and the
Sunk Sand. At the North-east end of the Sunk Sand is
the Sunk light vessel (one brilliant light fixed); on the
Eastern side of the Kentish Knock is the Knock light
vessel (a revolving light). The distance between these
two lights is about six nautic miles, the North-Eastern
extremity of the Long Sand lying about midway between
the lights —I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
