THE HAGUE, Nov. 19.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber of the States-General to-day, the project of
law for encouraging the importation of provisions was
adopted, after a long debate, by a majority of 47 to 5.
We have received the following intelligence from the
East Indies

From time to time English and American whalers ap-
peared in the read of Koepang (Timor). Complaints
are made that the commanders of the vessels some-
times set some of their men on shore, and leave them
behind. This was the case with the English ship The
I Pilot, which landed three European sailors on the north-
west coast of Timor, and left them to their fate.
An account from Sambas says that the English tra-
veller, James Brooke, accompanied by the Pangaang
Moeda Hasseans, had gone from Serawat to Borneo
Boper, where he met with a kind reception.
The result of this voyage is to be that liberty to trade
is granted him, and that his settlement at Serawak is
recognised and confirmed by the Prince of Borneo
Boper, while, on the other hand, the protection of the
British Government is promised to the Prince. It is
affirmed by natives who are worthy of credit, that there
are only five Europeans there, three of whom are
onga,ged in trade, one in researches in natural history,
and the fifth in exploring the gold and diamond mixes.
The whole establishment consists of five dwellings and a
warehouse. The population of the Serawat is estimated
at 7,500 souls, of whom 300 are Malays, 200 Chinese,
and the remainder Dayakkers. Mr. Brooke confines
himself to carrying on a barter trade, without exercising
any authority in demanding any productions of the
country. The goods which he brings are chiefly ex-
changed for gold dust.

Poiisn FRONTIERS, Nov. 12.—We hear from the
Kingdom of Poland that the Government has discovered
attempts at conspiracy similar to those in the Russian
Grand Duchy at Posen, and that numerous arrests took
place both in Warsaw and the provinces. It is very
probable that, on this occasion, the Prussian authori-
ties were warned by the revolutionary movement ; at
least we saw three to four weeks ago many Russian
Courriers whose mission was supposed to have some con-
nection with the journey of the Imperial family, but now
have changed our opinion. We have no particular news
from the Kingdom. The Russian Government is much
on 'its guard, and on the least suspicion proceeds with
inflexible rigour, as the distress prevailing in the King-
dom and the affairs of the Roman Catholic Church make
an insurrection not only possible but very dangerous.
We must, however, do that justice to the Prince Gover-
nor of the kingdom to acknowledge, that with all his
rigour he endeavonrs to be as lenient as possible in the
execution of his measures.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The settlement of a few small accounts on the Newport
Pagnell Steeple and Hurdle-race, brought a few subscribers
to the room, and bad the effect of giving a slight impulse to
the betting; still, the transactions were few in number, small
in amount, and of too little importance to demand more than
a return of the prices.
