DUTCH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, MARCH 15.—1 t is reported here, that
on one of the last days of the debate on the voluntary
loan and property tax, or, at least, about that time, a
commission from Amsterdam was here, with the inten-
tion of having an audience, of the King ; but that his
Majesty thought it advisable not to grant this desire,
and that this is one of the reasons that his Majesty, now
that the law is passed and promulgated, is gone to Am-
sterdam. It must also be taken as no more than a fly-
ing report, that a subscription of forty millions to the
loan may be depended on from Amsterdam, and twenty
millions from Rotterdam. But supposing that this is
true, no persons should draw the false inference that the
loan will be filled up without his taking part in it ; the
above sums, which must be taken by great houses, being
barely one-half of the whole amount.
AMSTERDAM, MARCH 18.—We learn that this morn-
ing being the first day for subscribing to the Voluntary
Three per Cent. Loan, his Excellency the Minister, in
consequence of instructions given, has subscribed for
the King and the several members of the Royal Family.
We learn that the King will return early te-morrow-
morning by a special train to the Hague. '!'his morning
his Majesty gave audience to several persons and depu-
tations. The evening before yesterday his Majesty
visited the National Theatre, where he was' welcomed by
acclamations of the audience, which were repeated when
he left. A cold, which is happily but slight, prevented
his Majesty from going to the new church yesterday.
His visit to Utrecht is deferred on the same account.
The same cause will prevent the King from again visit-
ing the theatre this evening as he intended.
THE Hactra, MARCH 19.—His Majesiv the King ar-
rived here from Amsterdam this morning.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The following have been posted at Lloyd's :
THE BERLINGS LIGHT AND THE PENICHE LIGHT.
By the Royal Board of Customs at Lisbon, notice is hereby
given, that, in order to obviate the inconvenience arising from
the almost perfect similitude in the revolution of the ma-
chinery of the Berlings light and the light on Cape Car-
viieire at Peniche, the movement of the latter has been
altered, the great 'flash of the light being repeated consecu-
tively every thirty seconds, but produces,
,with but slight
difference, a continued light, which makes the said lights
perfectly distinct, the one from the other.

NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER EMS.—BUOYS.
For greater security in the navigation of the Ems, by
consent of his Majesty's Minister for the Affairs of the
Interior, the buoying of the Eastern Ems will be further
increased by two white buoys, placed upon the Kachelott
Plate and the Koper Sand, respecting the situation of which
the-following is the notice
1. The white buoy on the Kachelott Plate.—Masters of
inwward-bound vessels will find it in a S.S.E. direction from
the black buoy with a basket in Homme Channel (Homme
Gat). It lies upon the steep point of the Kachelott Plate,
in six fathoms' water at low ebb. The lighthouse is on
Borkum, a little within the north point of the Ostland sand
hills, keeping Ostland Cape, however, to the S.W. However,
in order, during foggy weather, to prevent masters of vessels
from incurring the risk of mistaking the white buoy on the
Kachelott Plate for the white inner buoy situate opposite it
on the Inister Reef, in lieu of the common shaped white buoy
hitherto lying there, a black and white striped buoy, pointed
at both ends, in shape similar to a ship's anchor buoy, will be
substituted.
2. The white buoy on the Koper Sand, lies npon a steep
tongue, jutting out from the Koper Sand, in six fathoms'
water, at low ebb, the small cape upon the west hand of
Borkum Island, a short boat-hook's length to the northward
of the. lighthouse there, whereby the Black King's buoy si-
tuate opposite, lies to the north-west by west half-west, but
the Red Cape buoy to the S.S.W. of the White buoy on the
Koper Sand.
The officer charged with the duty of laying down these
buoys, has this day set sail, and, weather permitting, will,
withoutlail, have effected the change within the next few days.
The above is hereby made known in the name of the
Royal General Direction of Waterworks.

IRELAND.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.
Duimur, MAncii 20.—The Dublin Eveningf•Mail, of this
afternoon, says—" We have an appalling communication to
make to our readers and to the country—one restinix upon
such authority, that its truth admits of neither question nor
doubt."

This." appalling" statement is thus given, in the form of a
letter " from. a private correspondent :"
" LONDON', MoNnAr.—You may rest assured that the Pre-
mier himself has addressed a letter to the Irish Executive
upon the subject of national education, in which he distinctly
declares that no future patronage is to be bestowed on clergy-
men of the Established Church in Ireland, who not only are
not inimical to the system of national education, but who
will not undertake to place all schools, in the parishes or
dioceses in which they may be promoted, under the imme-
diate management of Dr. Murray's Board."
"This (observes the Evening Mail) may be considered in
the nature of a bribe or a threat, affecting the Protestant
clergy,and with aview ofcarrying out both the more effectually,
our correspondent adds that Sir Robert Peel intimates an in-
tention of appointing English clergymen (Puseyitus, we sup-
pose) to benefices or bishoprics, as either may become vacant,
should the clergy in Ireland continue contumacious."
The Evening Mail, in its capacity of organ of the Orange
Church party, is in a perfect paroxysm of rage at this intel-
ligence, and threatens to turn out Sir R.. Peel, by a com-
bination of the Irish Tory Members in the House of Com-
mons, aided by a formidable agitation amonst the Tory clergy
of the Establishment' in Ireland! The defeat of Ministers on
Lord Ashley's amendment, on Monday night, is relied upon
as affording ground for hope that the Peel Ministry can easily
be dislodged.
IMPRISONMENT OF MR. O'CONNELL—" NATIONAL

HUMILIATION AND PRAYER."
The deepest anxiety has been expressed in various and dis-
tant quarters of the country, that some very marked and de-
cided mode of exhibiting the sympathy of the Irish people
should be adopted, in the event of the incarceration of Mr.
O'Connell. No decision has been made as to the course to be
adopted, but it has been proposedt,that Whit-Monday, the 27th
of May, should be fixed upon as a day of geaeral prayer and
humiliation; that the people should on that day assemble in
their places of worship, to implore the protection of Heaven
for this country, and the removal of the evils that afflict her.
It has been also suggested that the Liberals and Roman Ca-
tholics throughout Christendom should be invited to partici-
pate in this object.. It is said the adoption of this project
only requires the sanction of particular authorities, without
whose approral no step would be taken.

"IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEATH."—
An awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred
in this city on Wednesday afternoon last. Mr. Newton, a
respectable tallow-chandler, residing in Broad-street, was
sitting in his shop in company with one of his daughters,
when. suddenly hearing an unusual noise, the child looked up,
and observed her father labouring for breath. She spoke to
him, but he appeared insensible, and she then alarmed the
family: Mrs. Newton was from home at the time, but an
elder sister observing Mr. Turley, surgeon, coming up Broad-
street, in his gig. called him in. Mr. Turley found the de-
ceased ling upon the floor, where he had fallen from the
chair. He immediately opened a vein in his left arm, and
about an ounce of blood followed the incision. The pulse,
however, gradually lessened, and soon ceased altogether. He
never spoke after he, was attacked with this sudden seizure.
Mr. Turley, on his examination on the inquest, on Friday,
said he had long considered the doceased as subject to
apoplexy, and he had observed that latterly his face had
assumed a darker hue. He had no doubt whatever that the
cause of death was the rupture of a vessel in the brain.
There was a bruise on the left eye, but this was occasioned by
the deceased's fall from his chair. Mr. Hyde held an inquest
on. Friday morning before a respectable jury, who, after hear-
ing the evidence of Mr. Turley, returned a verdict that the
deceased died by the visitation of God, from the rupture of a
vessel on the brain. Mr. Newton hiss left behind him a
large family to deplore his loss.— Worcester Chronicle.
ACCIDENT ON THE DOVER RAILWAT.—A dread-
ful accident occurred yesterday on the above line, at Folke-
stone Harbour. Some empty waggons were proceeding
down the inclined plane it Folkestone to the harbour, for
coals, when the men who were riding upon them, fearing
they could not slacken the speed, instead of putting on the
break, jumped off and-allowed the waggons to proceed full
speed down the incline to the harbour. Such was the vio-
lence of the concifssion that two of the waggons were driven
into the sea. One poor fellow, a platelayer, was nearly cut to
pieces, the waggons having passed over him. He was still
alive when this report was made. The man, Stewart, who
was seriously injured, on the above line last week, is fast re-
Wain.
