THE HAGUE, DEC. 19.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber of the States General to-day, the report of the
Central Section was read, on the law for the levy of the
National Militia in 1830. The debate is fixed for Monday,
the 21st. Then the report of the Central Section was read,
on the law for the encouragement of agriculture. The read-'
ing of this report gave rise to some conversation. The
debate on the law for modifying the personal taxes then
commenced, and the new project of law was agreed to by
a majority of 40 to 8.

Accounts from Arnheim say, that on the night of the
19th a great deal of floating ice came down the Rhine, by
which, and a violent storm on the 20th, in the morning, the
bridge of boats over the river was broken through, and
thirteen -pontoons carried away. The river was wholly
covered with floating ice on the 21st. •

ST. JAMES'S CANAL.—The ice this morning was
crowded with skaiters, but we regret to say ninny accidents
have occurred. Two gentlemen have been drowned, and 18
fell in one place, near the island. There have also been
duckings innumerable.

ADELPIII THEATRE.—The now Christmas Spec-
tacle, to be produced to-morrow evening, in addition to the
pantomime, is partly founded on Mr. Bulwer's Fairy Epi-
sode, in his celebrated work of The Pilgrim of the Rhine.
The proprietors have expended nearly six hundred pounds
in its production. Jerreld's interesting drama, we perceive,
has been withdrawn till the furor for pantomime has sub-
sided. It is to be re-produced after Christmas. Mrs.
Sterling makes her first appearance to-morrow evening, and
will deliver an Address, written expressly for the occasion,
preceded by one to be spoken by Mr. Buckstone. The
Dream at Sea has been the most successful of the season.
It will be played one week during the holidays. The cha-
racter of Biady Nulls ty Mrs. Sterling.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEC. 23-.—We
have experienced a very general and good demand to-day

tions, and in some instances a shade dearer than last week.
The sales are estimated at 5,000 bales—viz., 800 Egyptian,

hams, I I id. to Hid. ; Remainder American, from 7-ld.

DEATH OF SIR JOIIN SINCLAIR.--We regret
to learn, that Sir John Sinclair died yesterday (Monday)
afternoon, about five o'clock, at his house in George-street.
The Right Honourable Baronet had been complaining for
about a week, but was not considered dangerously ill—his
death, accordingly, was sudden and unexpected by his fa-
mily.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
The Rev. Mr. Neale, who was taken in execution
on the crini. con. action at the suit of the Rev. Mr. Birch,
is ordered) to be heard on his petition in the Insolvent
Debtors' Court, on the 14th of February.
Lord Stowell, to save the legacy duty, gave all
his property to his son, recently deceased. This will ren-
der it necessary for Lord Stowell, as his legal representa-
tive, to administer to his son's effects, by which he will be
compelled to pay a larger duty than the property would
otherwise have been subject to had it been left in the
usual way.
Sir Geoffrey Wyatville has the direction of the
Christmas festivities at Windsor Castle, owing to the ab-
sence of the Court at Brighton.
Persons, by direction of the Royal Humane Society,
were yesterday stationed on the banks of the Serpentine
river and those of the ornamental water in St. James's Park,
to assist in case of accidents, as the skaiters on both were
very numerous. Thursday se'nnight the frost was so very
severe that the Serpentine river was frozen over in one
night. During forty years previously, a similar circumstance
had not occurred.
The bulk of the large fortune of the late Right Hon.
Michael Angelo Taylor, so many years Representative for
the city of Durham, who left no issue, was bequeathed by
the testator to the reverend John Vane, Chaplain to the
Speaker, after the death of his Lady, sister to the late Sir
Harry Vane Tempest, and aunt to the Marchioness of
Lo4enderry, Mrs. Taylor survived her husband a few
months pnlp
