DU rCII MAIL.

THE LIA.ottE, Nov. I.—The First Chamber of lime
States-General received the address in answer to the
King's speech, which was agreed to yesterday by the
Second Chamber. It was referred to the section,
which immediately proceeded to examine it. It will
probably be discussed by the Chamber to-morrow.
The Central section will meet to-morrow to exa-
mine the project of law on the redemption of the
Three-and- a-Ilalf per Cent. debt, and that on the
payment of the debt due to the Commercial Company.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 4.—ln the Second Chamber *of
the States-General, a message was received from the
First Chamber announcing that it had not found suffi-
cient reason to present to the King the adddess in
answer to his Majesty's speech, which had been com-
municated to it by the Second Chamber. The Cham-
lser received likewise the following extract from the
Journals of the First Chamber of Saturday, the 2d of
November :—" The First Chamber, considering that
in this particular case it may be useful that the
Second Chamber should be made acquainted
with the reason of its declining to agree to the
proposed address to the King, has thought pror
to authorise its President to acquaint the Presi-
dent of the Second Chamber, either verbally or in
writing, by an extract from the journals, that the
&at would have entirely agreed to the address, had
not a wish been expressed in it for a speedy. reri"l
alai improvement of our fundamental law, 1411°1
vkhout entering into an inquiry how far such rtvi"'
and improvement in general might be desirable, the
First Chamber find in Article 227 of the funiamen;
tal law the positive enactment that the necessity .°1
any ohange in addition to it must be declared leY
law •, and this Chamber not having the initiative O;
such law, and, therefore, must wait for the eventual
presentation of them, and not anticipate Ow further
examination by agreeing to the wish expressed in the
proposed address of the Second Chamber."
After a short conversation the Second Chamber
rejected, by a majority of 4:1 to 3, the proposal merely'
to receive these documents as a notice ; and, on the
contrary, decided by a majority of 44 to 2, to W.
them printed and referred to the section.

FALL OF A STALK AT ST. ROLLOX.—On Fridal
afternoon, a little past three o'clock, a stalk, 240 feet
height, situated at the corner of the works at St. noll°,ll
immediately adjoining the Glasgow and Garnkirk BA;
way, gave way at the foundation, and in an instant
one brick was left above another. This stalk, we ander;
stand, was only finished a few weeks ago, and about
same time it was discovered that its base was not sour.'
Means were accordingly taken to insure its stability! Ili
propping and otherwise, and little fear was entertain,,
but that it would stand a while, when on Friday, as
Ira
been stated, it fell with a most tremendous crash. a,
descent was almost perpendicular, and it therefore eee-of
sioned little additional damage, for although a portion‘e
the bricks tell within the railway depot, and upon she
rails, no further accident was the result. Several ale,
who were working close by the stalk heard it cracklt
few seconds before it fell, and, fortunately, halilina
quickly left its vicinity, escaped. The wind was biome
ing very fresh at the time, and the stalk fell in the slits
direction ; but had its foundation been n}•-thing lake
secure, it would not have affected the stability of
structure.—Caledonian Mercury.

Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, who has been delighti,nril
crowded houses in Aberdeen and the surrounding t° our
during the last ten days, in expressing a hope that not
railway would soon be in operation, said, " You los
conceive how much persons situated as I am are in de es-
to the rapidity of railway communication." He then 11;03
tioned, that in ten weeks of the present spring he,ithes
travelled nearly 6,000 miles, singing about sli rtas

The Lord Mayor had been lately giving a aeri.eodt
splendid entertainments to a number of private frl tbe
and public Companies. Amongst the latter were
_O,
Courts of the Stationers', Vintners', and Fruiter; 05
Companies. Atone of these entertainments, in prol),°o4
the health of Prince Albert, his Lordship, after alluci his
to the many estimable qualities of the Prince, an Deed
Royal Highness's patronage of the fine arts, annoufoa
his magnificent subscription of 1001. towards the f the
for erecting baths and wash-houses for the use.fbie's
poor. That contribution had reached his Lord the
hands during dinner, and it emphatically evinaes, ;loyal
Lord Mayor stated, the warm interest felt by bis, wet'
Highness in everything calculated to increase laerttees
fare of those who required so much the active eleething
of the humane public to bestow upon them s')"300.ill;
like comfort. His Lordship, at a subsequent entc i,bea
meat, mentioned that he had the further disting%ceet
honour and gratification of announcing the 11113 9001'
donation of her Most Gracious Majesty in the sum scrip'
to the same great charity. The value of these stl,ea hti
tions was, his Lordship observed, greatly eahar'tisola'
the sanction and patronage of her Majesty and her
to lb°
Consort, and he contemplated a vast accessiono an
list of contributions in consequence of so power
example. IS re
