DUTCH and FLANDERS MAIL.

Tux HAGUE, MARCH 10.—The central section of the
Second Chamber has now drawn up its preliminary report on
the first book of the penal code.

MARCH 12.—8 y a resolution of the 11th March the King
has granted to Mr. Disk Dronker, of' Middelburg, under the
firm of Dronkers and Co., license to construct an iron railway
from Middelburg, with a branch to Flushing, through the
islands of Walcheren and Beveland, crossing the East Scheldt
at Woenndrecht, and continued to Bergenopzoom, Breda,
Tilbury, Bois le Duc, Helmond, Venlow, and along the right
bank of the Maas to Maastricht, and also to execute the
works of the harbour and canals in the island of Walcheren.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.—The Chamber adopted to-day
unanimously (64 Members were present) the project of law
ordering the publication of an official tariff of customs.
" We (the Courrier Beige) were right when we spoke yes-
terday of a Ministerial combination which seemed to be
nearly concluded, to doubt the accuracy of this report.
Nothing is settled; the crisis does not advance to a solution.
The Senate will meet on Monday, the 16th."
Caacow.—The Vienna papers of the 17th March confirm
our yesterday's statement. The 800 armed insurgents who
surrendered at discretion to the commander of the Prussian
troops on the frontiers have been conveyed to the Prussian
frontiers,
FRONTIERS, GALLICIA, MARCH 4.—The news of the occu-
pation of Cracow yesterday, by the Austrian troops, without
any resistance, pi oyes sufficiently that the whole revolu-
tionary movement mot with no sympathy in the population.
The immediate consequence of the unhappy attempt will
doubtless be the abolition of the constitution, the formation
of a new military Government. It would besides be im-
possible to find in Cracow a sufficient number of persons not
implicated in the revolution to reconstitute the old Govern-
ment. Between thirty and forty priests (most of them, it is
said, from Gallicia) have been arrested and conveyed over
the frontiers to Moradia. Among them are some from Pod-
gorze, who, when General Collin retreated from Cracow,
came forward with a more fanatic religious demonstration.
Another letter from Gallicia says...." In the engagements of
our brave Austrian troops with -the insurgents at Wieliczka
an 4 Podcorze, six priests were slain, and more than twenty
(some of them Dominicans and Franciscans) taken prisoners.
They had partly taken arms and partly encouraged the in-
surgents. It is difficult to conceive the fanaticism of this
Samalian clergy, who helped to inflame th, insurrection
against a Government like that of Austria, from which they
have constantly received only benefits. Very astonishing
revelations on this subject will be made.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, March 16.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
THE CORNWALL AND CENTRAL DEVON

RAILWAY.

Lord BROUGHAM, producing an immense roll of
parchment, said—My Lords, I have the honour to pre-
sent to your Lordships a petition, which your Lord-
ships will perceive is of great volume, but it does
not relate to the great or extensive measures
which are at present before the country. It relates,
however, to an important measure, and it is called
I believe, the Cornwall and Central Devon Railway.
It is the only petition I ever presented in favour of
a railway, and being one really of the greatest im-
portance, it is well worthy of your Lordships' atten-
tion. It was agreed upni at an immense county meet-
ing at Cornwall. My Lords, the petition I have the honour
of presenting, is in favour of the Cornwall and Central
Devon Railway ; and it will be only necessary for me
to state one fact to entitle it to the utmost attention of
your Lordships. It is signed by no fewer ti-.an
seven-and-thirty thousand Cornish men, including
almost all the landed proprietors of the county, and in-
cluding almost three- fourths of the electors of the
county ; it is also signed, to show that the interest
is not confined to Cornwall, by 15,000 of the men of
Devonshire. My Lords, I will say no more than
this : it is quite sufficient to entitle the measure to the
best consideration and attention of the House.

The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
The NOBLE LORD then presented a petition from the
Earl of Lindsey against one of the Lincolnshire railways.
The railway company told the petitioner that if he in-
terfered with their proceedings it would be all the worse
for him. He prayed their Lordships' most serious con-
sideration in favour of the petitioner.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition, pray-
ing their Lordships not to allow of any increase in the
number of public-houses.
Lord KINNAIRD presented a petition from some
part of Scotland, deprecating the desecration of the
Sabbath on the 30th November last, by the depositing
of railway plans on that day, and praying that the
Legislature would prevent a recurrence of such an act.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that several repre-
sentations had been made to him on the subject of the
petition presented by the Noble Lord. No per-
son viewed the matter with deeper regret
than he did the scene of the 30th of November
last, and it did not lessen his regret to know that
similar scenes of bustle and confusion were going
on at the same time in every county through
the country. Every exertion had been made to
avoid this proceeding, but it could not be done with-
out a violation of the law. In consequence of
the immense amount of money at stake he did
not wish to incur the responsibility of refusing
the plans. The neecssity arose from a standing
order of Parliament ; and, under all the circumstances,
he could not undertake to act otherwise than he had
done. With respect, however, to the future, he
would in a few days submit to their Lordships
some amendments in the standing orders which would
prevent the recurrence of similar scenes. His amend-
ment on the standing order in question would appoint
some fixed day by which_Sunday would be avoided.
