DUTCH MAIL.
THE STATES-GENERAL.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 13.—The Second Chamber of
the States. General met this morning at eleven o'clock,
and resumed the debates on the resolution to be taken
in consequence of the refusal of the First Chamber to
agree to the proposed address in answer to the King's
speech. Our readers know that in the evening
sitting, the day before yesterday, the votes on this
question were equally divided. This morning, after
five Members had spoken, the Chamber again pro-
ceeded to vote, and the proposal, slightly modified, in
conformity with an amendment moved by Mr. Vervey
Mejar, was adopted by a majority of 28 to 26, Mr.
Van Naamen, who had before voted against, having
now voted for it; consequently, the address will be
again sent to the First Chamber, as such as it was
originally drawn up, excepting the 11th section, which
is now expressed in the following lines :
" We expect that the country will reap the fruits
of the period of tranquility and peace, the blessing of
which Providence now bestows on us."
" The Second Chamber expressed a wish that
during this period the revisal and improvement of our
constitutional institution may be taken up at a season-
able opportunity.
" The first Chamber, on the contrary, without en-
tering on the examination of the question whether it
Is desirable to proceed to such revisal and improve-
ment, found, in Act 227 of the fundamental law, an
obstacle, which hinders it from agreeing to the ex-
pression of the wish of the Second Chamber."
The Chamber then passed, by a majority of 47 to 7,
the project of law relative to the repayment of the
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. bonds of the late Syndi-
cate for 1844. The next subject in the order of the
day was the debate on the project of law relative to the
re-payment of the debt of the Government to the
Commercial Company.
Two Members having asked for some explanation,
the Minister of Finance replied, that not only had the
resources which had been calculated upon for the:suc-
(less of the voluntary loan been obtained, but that
they had exceeded what was expected, as will appear
from a project of law which will shortly be pre-
sented to the Chamber relative to the completion of
the ways and means for 1844.
On promulgating the law of the 6th of March, the
receipt of forty-five millions was calculated upon,
and up to this time the amount of the expenditure is
only twenty-one and a half millions, consequently,
the repayment of twenty-two millions to the Com-
mercial Company may be easily effected • and the
Government (added the Minister) intends that repay-
ment shall take place before the end of this year.
The project of law was then agreed to by 51 to 2.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—The First Chamber of the

COURT CIRCULAR.

LORD HARBOROUGH AND THE
noltliacerbto o rtohue gh a
MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
(From the Leicester Chronicle.)
Lord
railway h his
ms t epwa
nayr d,
that isl rt.h
eyd
Fabling,w oui had
givennot
permit any one to enter the park and lands to survey.
The railwayists mustered seven strong on Wednesday,
and were about to approach the forbidden ground by the
Oakham Canal towing-path. Lord Harborough's party,
in number nine, met the whole of the enemy on the
towing-path, and took them prisoners. They were con-
veyed, with their flag-staffs, chain, and spirit level,
towards Cold Overton Hall, the residence of T. F. Tur-
ner, Esq., a magistrate, but two of the head men were
permitted to go to Oakham for the professional assist-
ance of Mr. Hough, who proceeded in a chaise to the
magistrate's dwelling ; but, unfortunately, Mr. Turner
was from home, and on the prisoners asking what was
to be done with them, -Dawson, the keeper, said it would
be better for all prinks to separate for the Eight, which
they accordingly did, leaving his Lordship's party in pos-
session of the spirit level.
Another skirmish took place on Thursday. The
scene of action was Saxby-bridge, adjoining his Lord-
ship's park. After the defeat of the surveyors on the
previous day, it was generally understood that another
attempt on a larger scale was to be made on the fol-
lowing morning. Consequently, by nine o'clock between
thirty and forty of his Lordship's servants assembled at
the spot above-named, to prevent the surveyors of the
company taking their levels, &c., on the towing-path of
the Oakham Canal, and along Stapleford Park.
Very soon parties of gentlemen in the employ of
the company arrived in chaises, &c., from Melton
and Oakham, heading a number of reckless-looking ra-
gamuffins, carrying flag-staffs, &c., and looking in the
distance very like a regiment of soldiers coming to take
the place by storm. A lengthened parley took place on
the bridge, between his Lordship's steward and solicitor,
the clerk and treasurer of the Oakham Canal Company,
and the solicitors and surveyors of the Railway Com-
pany, as to the mode of proceeding to be adopted. Mean-
time, Lord Harborough's men made preparations for a
determined stand on the towing-path on each side of the
bridge, by fencing the paths with trays, &c., close to the
water's edge. An attempt was then made by the sur-
veyors to force their way through the party stationed on
the Oakham side of the bridge, but the barrier was too
and Stamford
which other
this,bfioretsoo some be em feburnro
tkfhreeonrm,
delayaon dkt
thit
aeo y had to beat a retreat. After
mo k
place,tamford were added
to the railway regiment, and a fresh reinforcement joined
his Lordship's standard. Four or five of the county
police now also came up and stated it to be their inten-
tion, if possible, to prevent a breach of the peace, and
that they should arrest the first person who committed
an assault. Both parties were then desired to lay aside
their weapons, consisting of " stout shillelaghs," &c., and
ordered not to strike any blows, but simply to try their
opposite strength by pushing. A " grand stand"
was then made by Lord Harborough's party below
the bridge, and nearest Melton, who stood " wedged
together," and forming a living and very formidable-
looking barrier. The surveyors next placed rows
of their men with their backs to the faces of the
Earl's party, and set others in an opposite position to
force the way. An almost indescribable scene now took
place. The railwayists exerted their utmost strength,
but so firm did his Lordship's party retain their ground,
that more than one were actually forced up " high in the
air" between and rolling over the heads of the contend-
ing parties. Others were forced through the hedge,
tumbling over each other, and nearly filling the ditch
beneath, amidst the shouts of the " leaders" and the
laughter of the numerous spectators. Great confusion
now ensued, the two parties mixing together, and in the
tumult and dirt becoming almost undistinguishable by
each other. In the midst of this confusion the surveyors
succeeded in getting the chain on the forbidden ground.
Lord Harborough's men then took forcible possession of
the chain, which, in the scuffle to recover it, was broken
in one or two places. A fine chase was then had for
about a quarter of a mile down the towing-path, afford-
ing to the numerous spectators on the bridge almost as
amusing and exciting a pleasure as a " run after rey-
nerd."' Another barrier was then about to be formed,
when a truce was shouted by the railwayists, and it was
finally agreed that each party should withdraw their
forces, and that the matter should be judicially brought
before tho magistrates by issuing a summons for assault
against one or two of the men of each party, which, it is
understood, will be heard at the petty sessions in Melton
on Tuesday next. The clerk and treasurer of the Oak-
ham Canal Company were present during the whole
time of the skirmish, sanctioning Hord Harborough's
proceedings, they having some time previously given his
Lordship an exclusive right to the towing-path.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Late on Friday night Mr. Fabling, the steward, heard
a rumour that the railway party intended to make
another attempt on the following morning. As early as
four o'clock on Saturday morning arrangements were
making by all parties to muster their forces, and prepare
for attack and defence. The railwayists obtained large
bodies of stout men from Stamford, the Peterborough,
and the Midland Railways, part having been during the
night in the public-houses in Oakham, others at Melton
and the distant villages. The attackers had furnished
themselves with staves, in addition to the staffs with iron
points at one end, and a formidable bill-hook used by the
surveyors, Messrs. Cope,
Colthurst, Parker, and others,
in their business. The steward and solicitor had pro-
cured waggons and strong hurdles as barricades, and a
fire-engine to pump on the enemy at the point expected
to be first attacked.
The following letter was served upon one of the
clerks of Messrs. Borridge and Macaulay, at the Crown
Inn :
" Oakham, Saturday morning, quarter-past six o'clock.
" Lord Harborough, the Oakham Canal Company, and
the Midland Railway Company-
" Dear Sirs—l was very sorry. to receive information
early this morning of your intention of again attempting
by force to go along the towing-path, and Lord Har-
borough and Mr. Fabling's land, contrary to the provi-
sions made by you and your agents on Thursday last.
You then agreed that all hostilities should cease till we
had been before the magistrates. I beg to give you
notice, although I much dislike physical force, that we
are fully prepared for you. We have barricaded the
towing-path, and have in readiness a few cannon from
his Lordship's yacht. If you force us to use them, as a
last resort, the blood be upon your heads.
" I am, dear Sirs, yours faithfully,
" WILLIAM LATHAM."
At seven o'clock, an attempt was made by a party of
about ten men, on that part of the canal towing-path,
adjoining the park, nearest Melton, but this small party
could make no impression. At the same time (seven
o'clock), a party of nearly one hundred men climbed
over the park paling on the front nearest Oalsham,
headed by Mr. Morrison, solicitor, Mr. Cope, Messrs.
Cope, Rooper, Colthurst, and other surveyors, and com-
menced measuring with three or four chains, the party
being so formidable, and his Lordship's retainers having
been dispersed at several points in the park, containing
800 acres of land. The force at the part where the
breach was made was too small to resist them, and were
mere spectators.
By the time the surveyors had reacheti opposite to his
Lordship's beautiful cottage where he resides, Mr. Fab-
ling, on a pony, came up, bringing with him a few of
his troops. Mr. Cope told him that, if he wished not to
be hurt, he had better retire, and on his refusing to do
so the railway men were ordered to remove him. Mr.
Fabling ordered the chains to be taken up ; his situa-
tion at that moment was a perilous one, but his Lord-
ship's tenants and servants rallied round him for his
protection, began lo feel confidence in their leader and
their own strength, and the fight became general.
The noise was so great that it was heard in the village
two miles off. The spikes of the railway party
were thrust into the sides of the defenders of the
park ; and, after a battle of about five minutes, and
many broken heads, wounded faces and sides, the lower
grade of the intruders gave way. At this moment Lord
Harborough, accompanied by Lady Harborough, ap-
peared, but being so weak from a very severe illness,
was not able to get near to the scene of action. The
noise of the affray having brought together more parties
of his Lordship's men, it was evident the railwayists
must beat a retreat, their staffs and chains having been
broken into many pieces.
Expresses were sent to the magistrates and police
early in the morning, informing them of the contem-
plated attack, but some of them being from home, and
the affray taking place so very early, they were not able
to reach the spot in time. Threats were used of fetching
more men by the railwayists, but as the first party be-
came dispersed, and the strength of his Lordship increased
every minute from the villages of Freeby, Saxby,
Wymondham, Whissondine, Teigh, and other places, the
day closed leaving his Lordship in undisturbed posses-
sion of his park.
We are informed that it is essentially necessary that
the survey and levels of Stapleford Lordship, through
the park, should be taken, so that the plan can be depo-
sited by the 30th of this month; and this accounts for
the determination of the solicitors and surveyors.
Warrants for the apprehension of several of the rioters
have been granted by the Rev. G. E. Gillet, and it will
be ascertained whether a powerful railway company's
agents can thus act with impunity.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Yesterday the Queen and
Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk in
the morning. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness
again promenaded in the pleasure-grounds in the
afternoon, returning to the Castle in a pony carriage.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and
the Princess Royal were taken out on ponies, and the
Princess Alice was taken a walk yesterday morning.
About noon his Royal Highness Prince Alfred went
out for an airing.
In the afternoon the Royal Family were again
taken for walking and equestrian exercise.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited
the Queen and the Prince at the Castle in the
afternoon.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. I.—For some time past, we have
had numerous street robberies and burglaries. The
magistrates are considering how to improve the nightly
watch in the city.
STOCIMOLM, Nov. 3.—Great sensation has been caused
here by the declaration of insolvency presented to the
Sweabourg tribunal by the well-known Baron Norden.
Both the debts and assets amount to large sums. Baron
Norden's debts are stated at 600,000 dollars, and the
assets at 800,000.
COBLENTZ, Nov. 4.—lt is difficult to form an idea of
the excitement which has been caused by the letter of
the Catholic priest Rouge, which several German
papers have copied from the Saxon Vaterland's
Blattern. The superior authorities are not without
apprehension on this account, and while the cen-
sors see reason to allow pretty free circulation
to the polemical articles directed against this letter in
the Roman Catholic journals, we hear that the highest
provincial authority will institute proceedings against
those of our own journals which have inserted that let-
ter. Violent altercations have arisen on this subject in
several companies ; and the Anzeiger, published here,
calls on all Roman Catholics not to admit into their fa-
milies journals which contain such calumnies against the
Romish religion. In general, particular attention seems
to be now paid to the newspapers, and we learn from
good authority, that on Sunday next, by order of the
Bishop Arnoldi, sermons are to be preached in all the
churches against the Treres Gazette (Trierscht Zeitung.)
HESSE CASSEL, Nov. 4.—Some journals have hinted
that Hesse Cassel would withdraw from the Zollverein,
and from Hanover. There is no foundation for such a re-
port. Hesse Cassel is indebted for the few advantages
it derives from its trade and manufactures to its acces-
sion to the Zollverein. It certainly seems that there is
some difference between Cassel and Berlin, but they
originateountry. in
It cannotu
ehniedd, do not
however,directly
thataffect the ou r
pros-
perity of Hesse Cassel has greatly declined, and that the
most vigorous measures are required to raise it again.
Only the town of Hanover, which has some manufac-
tures, appears to thrive, though it cannot boast of en-
joying any particular favour. Cassel loses much by the
Elector, with his great revenues, being abroad, and the
Electoral Prince and co-Regent is obliged, in some
degree, to limit his household establishment. We have
now given up all hope of the return of the Elector to
Cassel

Lord Glenlyon arrived at the Castle yesterday, on
a visit to the Queen. The Right Hon. Sir James and
Lady Graham also arrived in the afternoon, on a visit
to her Majesty.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and
Lady Charlotte Dundas joined the royal dinner party
at the Castle yesterday.
The band of the Royal Horse Guards was in at-
tendance during dinner. Her Majesty's private band
afterwards attended, and performed the remainder of
the evening.
This morning the Queen and Prince Albert walked
out as usual.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 13.—After a long debate, the Chamber
has to•day rejected all the augmentations proposed for
the superior military court, and for the auditors of the
first and second class.

A MAN SUFFOCATED DT SLEEPING ON A BRICK-
KILN.—About eight o'clock last Saturday morning the
dead body of a man named Richard Hudson, a sizer,
late of Burnley, was found lying on a brick kiln belong-
ing to Mr. Thomas Banton, in St. George's-road. The
smoke from the kiln bad been very dense all night, and
it was supposed that the unfortunate man had lain down
to sleep, and had died through suffocation. Mr. Banton
caused the body to be removed toithe King's Arms public-
house, St. George's-road, where the inquest was held
before Mr. Chapman, on the same day ; and it appeared
from the evidence of Mrs. Ogden, of Collyhurst-bridge,
that the deceased called at her house to ask for relief
about half-past four o'clock on Friday afternoon ; but
there was no evidence that he had been seen afterwards.
It was stated by a relation of the deceased's that he was
a man of very irregular habits ; that in consequence of
his conduct he was not able to keep any situation. He
was forty years of age, and unmarried. The jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect, " That the deceased was
found suffocated on a brick-kiln."—Mancheater Guardian.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.--The Lord Mayor at-
tended Divine service yesterday afternoon at St. Paul's
Cathedral. His Lordship did not come in state, nor did
he wear his official robes. He took the seat appropriated
to the chief magistrate of the City, and at the close of the
service retired in the same private manner in which he
entered. It was stated in the Cathedral that many
years have elapsed since a Lord Mayor took his seat in
the Cathedral except on State occasions, and when the
judges attend the service, which happens twice a year.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas Dale,
canon residentiary of St. Paul's, and vicar of St. Bride's,
Fleet-street.

BANK OF ENGLAND.
The Bankers' Circular, which may be considered al-
most as the oracle of the private banking interest, con-
tains, in its Number of yesterday, various remarks on
the present state of the country issues under the new
system, and the recent proceeding of the Bank of Eng-
land with regard to the charge on transmitting money to
different parts of the country. After quoting the details
of the plan, as published under this head on Wednesday
last, the writer observes, that the disregard manifested
by the Directors for the interest of those country bankers
who have stipulated to issue the promissory notes of the
Bank and no other, is one of the most remarkable fea-
tures of the proceeding. Most of the bankers have, it
is said, faithfully adhered to their engagements, and
have paid the Bank at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum
for the use of money during a protracted period, whe❑
they could have obtained the accommodation in the
money-market at little more than half the rate, and now
the Bank makes use of its newly acquired power by
offering premiums to the customers of their confiding
agents, to bring business to the Bank of England.
These words, which are merely abridged from the
original article, seem to convey a charge of ingratitude
against the Bank of England, and, further on, that
establishment is expressly charged with " grasping at a
monopoly." For all remarks of the sort the Bank of
England can find a ready answer—namely, that having
been deprived of their functions as managers of the cur-
rency, they must throw all their energy into the banking
business, and, in justice to their proprietary, must adopt
all measures that will increase the amount of their trans-
actions, and keep up the rate of their dividend. If the
premium which they offer for keeping accounts with
them answers the desired end, it is hard to see on what
principle they are to shun adopting it. They consider
themselves as exactly on the same ground as private
bankers, and that all methods that would be legitimate
for these may be followed by themselves without hesi-
tation.

SALE or GAME. - When the law was passed
legalising the sale of game, the public were given to un-
derstand (and led to believe too) that it was for their
accommodation •, they have since discovered it was a
grand scheme of the game preservers to make a large
profit of their surplus game, and which they have done
to some purpose, and increased their preserving system
also, in order the
better to fill their pockets ; whilst, by
all this, the farmer has additionally suffered in destruc-
tion of his crops, and he, along with the rest of rate-
payers, had to pay dearly for the abominable game-laws
being, not only brought into full play, but outstretched.
Who can have forgot the extreme joy of the preserving
gentry when a law was passed, sixteen years ago, mak-
ing night poaching a transportable offence ? There are
those who would rather transport a man for killing a
solitary head of game than stealing a horse. The abo-
minable game mania and its attendant consequences must
be abated. Some of these keen game gentlemen, from
many of their " bagging" systems, may fairly be termed
certificated poachers,—From a Correspondent,

The " Circular" reports, that the country issuers are
put to much inconvenience by the change of system, the
license for a maximum of 8,000,0001., proving not much
more than one for an average of 6,000,0001., considering
the amount that the banker must keep in his till to avoid
risk. Hence the same paper recommends them to adopt
any " legitimate means" to supply a deficiency, espe-
cially in places where there is a reluctance in taking
Bank of England notes on account of the alleged difficulty
in detecting forgery at a distance from town. Thus a
plan which, it seems, is in vogue among the bankers of
the north is recommended for general adoption. These
bankers, instead of drawing a bill, say at 20 days' sight,
have printed letters of credit, in which they say, "On
the day of —you will please to honour the draught
of A.B. for and place that sum to the debit of our
account." Another plan is for a banker to write " ac-
cepted" or " allowed" across a cheque presented for pay-
ment, and then to return it to the presenter, that he may
use it for any local purpose as an ordinary note. All
these plans of adopting a substitute for a note circula-
tion seem to mark a strong spirit of opposition among
the banking interest to the provisions of the new law.

WESTMINSTER. HOSPITAL.—ELECTION OF A DEN-
TIST.—On Saturday the election of a gentleman, to fill
the office of dentist, took place at this Institution. Mr.
Clendon and Mr. Ghames were the candidates. At two
o'clock the poll closed, when it appeared that Mr. Chu..
dolt was elected by a majority of fifty-two,

The employers of Mr. Archibald Anderson, com-
mission-agent and salesman of cattle and sheep, at New-
castle-on-Tyne, have presented him with a handsome
old watch as a token of their gratitude and esteem.

- THE INCOME-TAX.—It i 3-11 positive truth that,
though Sir Robert Peel is in receipt of two years' in-
come-tax, the surveyors of taxes have not yet had one
farthing remuneration for their excessive labours and
unpleasantness ; nay, oven the health of some have been
impaired through close application, and deep anxiety.
This is " too bad," and, if those officers be not ade-
quately compensated before Parliament meets, we trust
this just ground of complaint will be brought forward.
t Sir Robert and his class take care to be well paid for
their work (and their " friends" unmerited pensions
lavished upon them), but those who have the labour,
toil, anxiety, and hazards of unjust dismissal to run, are
niggardly paid. Injustice, now-a-days, stalks through
the land, lout a change must take place.—From a Cor-
respondent.
The returns of the Bank of England being now
gazetted weekly, the public will require at the hands of
the press no special exhibition or comparison of fluctua-
tions, unless, perhaps, occasionally, and at somewhat
distant intervals, say intervals of a few weeks or months,
the precise periods for the purpose being selected as
circumstances may render expedient. To be pointing
out with operose minuteness the petty variations occur-
ring between one week with another, and suggesting far-
fetched causes for the same, would be no less ridiculous
than wearisome, an extract of the items themselves, as
given in the Morning Post, being all that is needful for
the guidance of the country, in regard to the tendency
of the circulation, and of the policy of the Board of
Directors. The figures presented by the return pub-
lished in Friday night's Gazette, and copied into the
Morning Post of Saturday, show some further diminu-
tion in the stock of bullion in the hands of the Bank, the
total, applicable to the two departments of the establish-
ment, having decreased to 14,025,6291. With the ex-
ception of this reduction in the effective means of the
institution, the falling off, which is one amounting to no
more, however, than about a million in the course of
many months, there is nothing in the recent returns to
t o —Pos
which it hast appeared necessary to direct general atten-
tion.—Post.
