DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, AUG. Majesty's ship the Zeeuw
was expected in the Flushing Roads on the 4th. The vo-
lunteers on board that vessel will there leave it, and be
succeeded by regular seamen. It has been reported that
this ship is to make a voyage to the North, but other ac-
counts say it will shortly sail either for the East or the
West Indies. No change has taken place i❑ the position
of our squadron on the Scheldt.
Bois LE Duc, Auu. 4 —lt seems that after the break-
ing up of the camps of Ryen and Dirvelst on the 9 h of
this month the troirps will go into cantonments, and the
head•quar'ers of the several ilivi.ions be as follow :—lst
Breda ; 21, Eindhovet.; 3d, Oosterw)k ; and
the reserve division at Boxtel, Veghel, or Uden ; and part
of the troops of the latter division were to be sent towards
Boxmeer. It is spoken of as not at all impossible hut part
of the army may shortly pass the river to he quartered in
Gelderland and South Holland, but nothing certain is
known on the subject.

We learn that preparations are really making to re•
establish the fortress of Gertruydenberg, but doubts are
entertained of the truth of the report that it is intended
again to fortify Heusden.

cils are now again held, at which his Majesty is present,

MELANCHOLY AND FATAI. EVENT.
On Tnursday a man in the employment of DANIEL
HUMPHREYS, E'q., had occasion to remove some of the
stones of a limekiln, near Middleton, which had not been
long lighted. This done, he descended, for what pur-
pose we have not beard, but not returning, another man
went down, in order to ascertain the cause of his deten-
tion. After the latter had been some time below, be was
followed by a third, and he at intervals, first by the wife
of one, and then by the wife of the other of those who
had previously descended. Still, however, there was no
return, and this exciting the apprehension of the persons
employed about the place, measures were taken for exa-
mining the kiln, and precautions adopted in order toinsure
the safety of those by whom it was to be done. Ropes
having been procured, two or three men wer,. let down,
but they had not proceeded far when, finding
themselves
nearly suffocated, they called to their companions to draw
them up. This was instantly done, but so rapid were the
effects of the confined and heated air to which they had
been exposed, that when they reached the banks they were
quite overpowered, and fainted away. No doubt then
remained of the fate of the individuals who had preceded
them. Efficient steps were taken to guard avainst the
possibility of danger. The kiln was searched, -and on the
surface of the unremoved stones were found the five bodies
stiff and lifeless.... Cork Constitution.
