Martial Law in England.

London, Aug. 14.—What practically amounts to martial law was proclaimed in a special issue of the Ixmdon Gazette, which gives a long list of new rules for the public. Under these private persons may not light a fire on a hill; may not spread alarming reports, must if ordered, keep Indoors at specified times; must, if ordered, keep all lights out. The authorities may order the destruction of any house or property and finally the power of court-martial is given the authorities in certain cases.
