CONTAGIOUS AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES.—By an Act of last so-ssion (9 and 10 Victoria, chap. 96), provi sion was made for the more speedy removal of certain nuisances, as well as to enable the Privy Counoil to make regulations for the prevention of contagious and epidemic diseases. According to the preamble of this statute it was considered expedient, for the purpose of preserving the health of divers of her Majesty's subj.-eV:, that better.provistm should b e ma d e f or the removal of certain nu se.r . ,c. , s lik e l y to promote .or increase disease. On the receipt of th e certificate of two medical men certain puboic officers, specifier i n th e Act, can cinoplain to justices of the .xis,tene.: of nukauces. The justices have power to 51irntoon the pa r ti es, and to make an order for the removal of the same, and in default the parties complaining in aY enter the prerniss and remove the nuisance. The costs and exiieo,es 11,1.etirred can b e re covered frim the owner or occupier et the pr em i ses. B y , the fi fth seeti..ii Privy Cow oil are empowered to issue orders at any time to prevent the spreading of con tagious and epimetke diseases. The Act contains twenty- I two vectiol9, and three schedules of forma to bo used. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, iMs. THE WEATHER.—SUN OFFICE, SEPTEMBER 24. THERMOMETER, Lowest, 55; Highest. 69 ; Noon, 64. BAROMETER, 29.55.—W1ND W., showery. perpetration of deeds, which cover with merited odium these pseudo-conservators of the public peace. It is not above a fortnight since we felt ourselves obliged to notice the barbarous treatment to which the wife of a respectable tradesman, far advanced in pregnancy, was inhumanly subjected by a policeman. In the short time that has elapsed since we expa tiated upon this case, we find that a verdict of man slaughter has been returned against JAMES Pao- BERT, an officer, who recklessly deprived of life, with a blow of his truncheon, REUBEN BUSBY, whilst he was inoffensively enjoying a rural fete, held near Northleach, on the estate of Dynevor. This poor man's life was sacrificed in consequence of a stranger, somewhat inebriated, having refused to pay for a glass which he chanced to break. The landlord called in the police, and the officer in ques tion, when there was only a slight disturbance, and no breach of the peace had been actually committed, at once set about wielding his weapon in all direc tions with the fury of a wild beast, so as to produce even a remonstrance from and excite the apprehen sions of the very landlord who had required his pre sence, and the result was that REUBEN BUSBY, quietly seated at a table, received the fatal blow that hastily summoned him to another world. We fear that such frightful instances as this would not have occurred, or certainly would have proved exceedingly rare, if the magistrates generally had not unhappily evinced, as they notoriously have, too marked a leaning towards every idle statement concocted by the police to cover their delinquencies. The sense of impunity under which the police appear to act seems, like wise, to inoculate every person connected with them. Thus, the solicitor, concerned to watch the last-mentioned case on behalf of the constable, was so persevering in attempting to fright the seat of justice from its propriety, that the Coroner forced him to leave the inquest-room. The lengthened investigation that has been carried on with reference to the murder of the policeman, CLARKE, in June last, near Dagenham,has been brought to a close. Nothing can well be more momentous to the public than what has been elicited in the course of this protracted inquiry. The police—and one of them a sergeant—who gave evidence, are charged generally with having combined to defeat the ends of justice, and committed foul and wilful perjury. The Coroner, in his remarks to the jury, thus expressed himself:— " With reference to the conduct of the police generally in the case, there were no words strong enough in the English language to express the disgust which must be felt by all right-minded persons as to their conduct. He applied his observations to those policemen who had been guilty of the loul and heinous crime, to say the least of it, of wilful and corrupt perjury. The unfortunate cir cumstance was, that these very men, the servants of the public, had in the first instance been engaged in tracing out the perpetrators of the deed and in forwarding the ends of justice, and they had been the principal means by which the ends of justice had been defeated. They had been engaged to ascertain the perpetrators of the diabolical deed, and they had done everything in their power to repress the truth. In consequence of these circumstances the greatest difficulty and mystery had been thrown around the case." HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TINS DAY. Morning .. 19 minutes after 4. I Evening .. 37 minutes after 4. Fearful disclosures! An indictment will imme diately be preferred against these abettors of iniquity, and we hope that condign punishment will overtake them. But this alone will not satisfy the country. True it is, that what we have just referred to develops, in a peculiar manner, the horrible depravity of the constables implicated in that particular transaction ; but it is, unfortunately, but one powerful instance of the detestable indifference to crimes of the highest magnitude with which it is manifest the mind at large of the police force is seriously impregnated. The magistrates themselves, at length aroused to a sense of danger to the public from the corrupt con tempt of these subordinate officers for justice, mercy, and every good feeling, have constantly of late denounced their proceedings in no very measured terms. The magnitude, then, to which this evil has now disseminated itself, calls for the prompt attention of the Home Department; and we hope that Sir GEORGE GREY will speedily adopt every necessary step towards restoring public confi dence, of which the police, as a body, have deprived themselves, and without the enjoyment of which they never can adequately discharge the important duties they owe to society. Our catalogue of complaint is swelled by the melan choly account of death in a station-house, which will be found in another column. SARAH HARMAN, the wife of a painter and glazier, subject to swimming in the head, went from her home, perfectly sober, on Saturday night last, to fetch some beer for the family supper. She staggered and fell, just as she was served with a pint of beer by the publican. Because, forsoo.h, she happened to be seized with illness in a public-house, she was forthwith assumed to be in toxicated, and conveyed upon a stretcher by police men to the station-house, where the sergeant, consi dering her, we suppose, to be drunk, because she was insensible, charged her on the police-sheet with having been fond drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. She was then thrust into a cell and left. Two hours after, and then only to make room for another charge, the cell was accidentally visited, she was taken out, medical aid sent for, and in twenty minutes was a corpse—the surgeon having declared his impression that intoxication had killed her. At the inquest Mr. T. H. Coormt, surgeon to St. Pancras workhouse, and who had opened the body, proved that a vessel in the head had given way, and that from natural causes, and not rom drunkenness, had the unfortunate woman ex pired. We pronounce the features of this case to be absolutely revolting. The hard-hearted indifference, the shameful neglect exhibited, renders it tantamount to civil murder. All that appears to have fallen from the Coroner was to recommend the police to be more careful in such cases. Had this poor creature been taken to a hospital, instead of to a station-house, her life might perhaps have been saved. 'We think the police are bound to be constantly visiting, or to have somebody continually present, with those who happen to be in their custody in an insensible state ; nay, further, that medical men should be specially ap pointed to attend in all cases where parties are brought in deprived of their senses. If people are in custody, the authorities should be taught that power over the person gives them no warrant to trifle with the lives of their prisoners. Even in cases of drunkenness, how frequently may not life be sacri- ficed from the want of a little humane attention ! It seems, however, that any body who may happen to be suddenly stricken with illness in a public-house at night, runs the risk of being immured in a cell for hours, and of being handed over a corpse to his rela tives in the morning. 'We sicken at the thought of such heartless unconcern respecting the life of a fellow-creature. We solemnly protest against the continuance of such unphilanthropic arrangements, and we trust the people will quickly and loudly demand reform in a body, where integrity and benevolence are all but supplanted by corruption and tyranny. The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Malta to the 15th, Athens to the 10th, and Constantinople to the 6th inst. The Constantinople journals contain an account of the successes of the Pacha of BAGDAD against the chief of the hereditary district of Ravendorz, who had refused to obey the orders sent to him by the PACHA. We find in these journals letters from Erzeroum of the 29th ult., which state that the cholera at Teheran had in some degree subsided, but that it was making great ravages at Kasvine, Zenginau, Koum, and Cachan. The mortality at Teheran had been great, but less than in 1835. Amongst the victims at Tehe ran, or in the camp of the SuAu, were the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Keeper of the Seals, the Farache Bachi, ISMAIL KHAN, and Mr. ROBERT GLEAN, an attache of the British Embassy. It is stated that the Hon. Mr. WELLESLEY had been seri ously indisposed at Constantinople, but that he was gradually recovering. Lord W. CLINTON had arrived at Constantinople, to replace Lord NAPIER, attaché of the British Embassy, who has been appointed in the 'ame capacity to replace at Naples Mr. C. A. MURRAY, appointed Consul-General at Alexandria. It is rumoured in Constantinople that serious dif ferences have arisen in the Cabinet between RESCJIID PACHA and RIZA. PACHA, and that the latter appeared to be the more powerful of the two. The Athens papers are filled with accounts of acts of brigandage and rapine, which M. COLETTI and his colleagues appear either unable or unwilling to prevent. Near Vrachori, M. VALTISO,• brother-in law of M. Zoms, Deputy, had been shot by a band Qt ruffians ; a no th er 4 ;nd had stopped an old man and his son, and after cutting off the old man's ears' set the son at liberty, telling him to endeavour to procure two thousand dollars for the ransom of his father, and return with it, failing to do which they declared that his father should be murdered. The son having no means of raising this large sum, the wretches kept their word by murdering their prisoner, The following is the resolution of the German Diet on the question of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein : His Majesty the King of Denmark, Duke of Holstein and Lauenburg, having made known by the declaration of the 7th September, in reply to the petition addressed to the Diet by the States of Holstein on the 3d August, that he had never entertained an idea of attacking the independence of the Duchy of Holstein, nor to arbitrarily modify either its constitution, or the other institutions which the custom or the laws of the c nintry had rendered sacred; his Majesty having, more over, given the assurance that his efforts to regulate Isa order of succession of that Duchy had not for its ob ject to interfere with the legitimate rights of the Agnats; in fine, the intention of maintaining intact the con• stitu:ional right of petition of the states being mani festly expressed by his Majesty, the Upper Diet feels confident that by deciding in a definite manner on the questions in the letter patent of the Bth of July, his Majesty will respect the rights of all, and particularly those of the Confederation, the legitimate rights of the Agnats, and those of the legal representation of the country. While reserving to itself the right, as organ of the Confederation, to avail itself in case of need of its constitutionnl competence, the Diet declares that it cannot see in the States of Holstein the legal represen tatives of the Federal State to that Assembly; their mission should be confined to the defence of tbeir constitutional rights, and that the complaint of those states on the subject of the changes made in an illegal manner in their constitution, is not well founded. On the other hand, the Diet considers that the order transmitted by his Majesty to the Royal Commissioner to the states, not to receive any more petitions or remonstrances relative to the question of succession, is not, when interpreted in an absolute man• ner, in accordance with the literal meaning of the law of May 28, 1831. 2. The Diet is pleased to render justice to the sentiments of patriotism which on this occasion have manifested themselves in Germany; but it, at the same time, deplores the hateful accusations and provo cations which have been evinced. It expressed a hope and confidence that the Federal Governments will apply themselves to put an end to those :passionate agitations. Neither does it doubt but that his Majesty the King of Denmark will hasten to act in the same manner, with the most entire reciprocity. 3. The Envoy of Denmark is invited to make known this resolution to his Court." Some disturbances took place at Schleswig on the occasion of the visit of the King of DENMARK to that town. About 2,000 men assembled in the square before the Hotel de Ville, and, after cheering voci ferously the advocate BESELER, a member of the States of the Duchy, and President of Neumunster, who had declared himself against the union of the Principality with Denmark, went to the residence of the new governor of Schleswig-Holstein, named SCHEEL, and gave him a charivari, which was repeated before the houses of several of the Government officers. Some disturbances followed these demon strations, and the windows of the house of a Dane, who is said to have been guilty of ♦arious provoca tions, were broken. After this exploit the crowd began to disperse, when a detachment of dragoons came and prevented the peace of the town from being further interrupted. The Grand Duke MICHAEL of Russia has been ap pointed by the Emperor of AUSTRIA proprietor of the Mazuchelli regiment of Hungarian Infantry. The Austrian Cabinet feels so much annoyed by the strictures which have appeared in the German journals on the revolutionary movement in Austrian G4licia, that it has addressed a circular to the Ger man Governments, calling their attention to the dan gerous tendency of the German press. This circular will, it is supposed, induce the Diet to consider a general law on the press and the censorship. Madrid papers to the 17th have arrived. A report of the debate which took place in the Chamber of Deputies on the occasion of the address will be found in another column. The address on the marriage of the INFANTA was not agreed to with that unanimity which the Paris telegraphic dispatch, published the day before yesterday, seemed to indi cate. The following was the actual dispatch received by the French Government _ _ " The paragraph (of the address) relative to the Queen was voted by 179 voices, the House being unanimous. On the paragraph relative to the Infanta, nineteen mem bers abstained from voting, and one voted against. Total, 160, or 159 to one." Somewhat different from the account which the French Government thought fit to publish. Verily, the French telegraphic system is in the strictest sense of the term "an organised hypocrisy." As there is only one Progressista Deputy, and only one Carlist Deputy in the present Chamber, which was elected under the bayonets of NARYAEZ, it follows that even among the obsequious retainers of the Camarilla, of whom, with two exceptions, the Chamber is exclu sively composed, there are at least eighteen who will not follow their employers in degrading their country to the position of a French province.

All the Opposition papers are regularly seized every day, yet, notwithstanding every attempt that is made to suppress the expression of the popular feel ing against the MONTPENSIEIt marriage, it is every day manifesting itself with increased intensity. The military were actually employed to prevent persons from signing the Madrid protest, notwithstanding which it received upwards of 8,000 signatures. Gerona Burgos, Corunna, Leon, and several other places, have followed the example of Madrid, and also pro tested. The following statement made by the Madrid correspondent of one of the French papers, is most im portant : " It is very generally believed that the Carlists and Progressistas have laid aside their old differences, sad Cabrera has agreed to co-operate with Mendizsbel for placing the Crown on the head of the Count de Mon temolin." MADRID BoLsa, SEPT. 17.—The Three per Cents. slightly improved, being done at 36* for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 22 ; the Five rer Cents. at 22i ; the Debt without Interest, at 68; and the Coupons at 2i. We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday. In reply to the taunting questions of the Journal des Debals, whether the liberal opponents of the MONT PENSIER marriage would make common cause with the Carlists in opposition to it, the Comtilutionnel says " That the Ministerial journal "Is evidently raving. The Opposition wishes Spain to be free, tranquil, and independent, and that she should proceed without any civil war in the constitutional line. Should civil war again break out in Spain— should Count de Montemolin call his partisans to arms—should Narvac prepare to shoot the in surgents, and blood flow anew on the other side of the Pyrenios, we certainly ought not to be held account able for those evils, whose real authors are the able ne gotiators who contrived to set Spain in a blaze by a mar riage which they planned, during three years, viithout having the talent of bringing it to a favourable conclusion. Why should the Opposition prevent that marriage ? We regard as perfectly proper, that a young Prince, distin guished by his understanding and personal qualities, should marry a Princess said to bo charming, and richly endowed ; and, if the two families are agreed, why should we oppose it ? But you have concluded the marriage so fortunately that you have brought about a misunderstanding between Eng land and France, and that you excite the discontent of a portion of Europe. That is your work, not ours. We are mere spectators, and we will not quit our position.

Convince the Spanish people of your liberal intentions, and the English Cabinet of the loyalty of your proceedings; reduce to silence by . your arguments the English press; that is the opposition you should combat and convince." vV The National thus describes the annoying effects which the provoking silence of the English Cabinet is producing at the Tuileries "The French Government courier who left Madrid on the 18th instant, with the vote on the address in the Cortes, brought dispatches which caused more uneasi ness than this vote caused pleasure. Those dispatches announced that the entire population of Madrid was strongly excited by hearing that an English fleet, com posed of eight ships of the line, four frigates, and six steam boats, armed as vessels of war, bad anchored in the Bay of Cadiz. The appearance of so considerable . a fleet in the Spanish waters had closely followed the instructions addressed to Mr. Buiwer by the Br itish Government. These instructions bad ar rived, in fact, on the morning of the 15th inst., at the moment the squadron was entering the harbour. This news produced so great a sensation that the Ministerial journals hastened to announce that the British fleet would only remain two days under the walls of Cadiz." " The impression produced here," adds the National" was not less serious. Every one begins to be convinced that the opposition of the Whig Ministry will be more difficult to disarm than was at first expected.

The Government is very active in preventing either Carlist or: Progressista refugees from entering Spain. VILLA REAL, BARGAZ, and CASA EGUIA have been arrested at Bordeaux, and will be impri soned in the castle of Blaye. It appears as if the French Government feared the affair might take a serious turn, for the Moniteur publishes a royal ordi nance, calling into active service 53,000 recruits of She class of 1845. 45,782 are intended for the army, and 7,218 for the navy. The National says :—" According to a letter from Oran, a new expedition is contemplated, not against Morocco, but in Morocco. On this occasion we are to pursue ABD-EL-KADER with the permission of the EMPEROR, disperse his Deira, and chastise the tribes who have acted in hostility to France. Such a plan does not astonish us. It is consistent with the habits of a Government which lives from clay to day, and which ever prefers half to decisive measures, and only draws the sword to assist petty Parliamentary intrigues. War in Mo rocco, conducted by similar agents, will produce no re sult, but it will continue perhaps several months, and during that time the political question will sleep. This will be so much gained, and the morrow will be forgotten. We have no doubt but that war at this moment would be to the taste of every one except to the country. M. BuGEAUD desires it warmly, be cause it is his principal and only affair in Algeria, and, moreover, the perspective of a new Islay has some thing seductive. The Ministry wish for it, because dur ing hostilities they are certain of the generous silence of their adversaries, and, besides, they justly count on the bravery and superiority of our army. On her side England encourages us still to fight. She knows that a simple point in Morocco can have no serious consequence, that her trade with the coast will not suffer, and that her influence in that empire will not be diminished. The London Cabinet will, therefore, permit matters to take their course, and our Minis ters will return thanks for the apparent generosity."

'Rr • At - . ,-,••••; Marian :5-tut4 LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1846. Every successive day the intricacies in which the Spanish Government has been recently involved are assuming a more ominous appearance. Even when the Moorish invaders under BOABDIL were most triumphant in the plains of Grenada, the Spaniards still preserved a substantial hope of release from foreign domination; the sceptres of FERDINAND and ISABELLA were still the insignias of a protective puissance; the genius of MENDOZA and XIMINES still remained in their fullest vigour. During the con flicts, again, which were directed by the batons of MASSENA, and SOUI.T, and WELLINGTON, the people of the Peninsula were still cheered amidst their mis fortunes by the prospective guarantee of their re storation to tranquillity in the shape of an European treaty of peace. Throughout even those sanguinary campaigns, in which the causes of the infant IsA. BELLA and Don CARLOS were sustained at the sword's point, and at the culverin's mouth, there was yet the probability of a speedy and definite settlement to their grievances through the double interposition of England and France. Almost all the darkest and dreariest epochs of Spain were illumined by some promise of extrication from national difficulties. At the present juncture, how ever, the future is only portentous of sorrows ; if we scan the possibilities of that future, we recognise only anarchy upon anarchy, commotion upon commotion, political turbulence in the metropolis, military insur rections in the provinces. From the Pyrenees to the southern boundaries of Andalusia, from Catalonia to the frontiers of Portugal, there are presented the same discouraging evidences of disaffection, the same apparent readiness to engage in some overt act of in subordination against the Afrancesados ;, and the Afrancesados form the Government. In one direc tion appears the Due DE AIONTPENSIER, backed by the influence of France, and sustained by the favour of ISTURITZ and his colleagues. In another appears Don ENRIQUE, appealing to the nation from his place of banishment at Ghent. At London a fresh em barrassment is being germinated in the conclave of Carlists, headed by the Count DE MONTEMOLIN and General CABRERA. Every imaginary ingredient is accumulated in the cauldron calculated to render the political mixture most deadly and pernicious. While these antagonistic interests are being thus simultaneously fostered, the arrangements fur the performance of that ceremony, the mere announce ment of which aroused all these conflicting passions, are continuesl in active operation. The requisite dis pensations from the Sovereign Pontiff are reported to have arrived at Marseilles on the 14th inst. Accord ing to the Clamor, apartments of a sumptuous cha racter are being prepared in the mansion of the French Ambassador for the reception of the Due DE MONTPENSIER. According to Galignani, packages have already passed through Bayonne containing the bridal ornaments and robes of Queen ISABELLA and her sister. Every preparation worthy of the occa sion on which the Sovereign of SPAIN and one of the richest heiresses in the world are to be espoused appears to be making, both in the banquet-halls of Madrid and the workshops of Paris. Whatever may be the secret emotions of the royal personages in the Escurial and the Tuileries—no matter whether the sentiments of the Orleans be those of exultation, while the sentiments of the Bourbons be those of humiliation—their subordinates are kept in as cheer ful and active employment as though an ordinary state procession were about to pace the cor ridors of the palace. Meanwhile the Spanish po pulation, with something akin to unanimity, are chafing under the yoke of their Afranessado rulers, and are not merely prepared, but desirous for some catastrophe which may effectually and permanently rid thr.m from foreign interference, and preserve to them their independence as a nation. A generous and enlightened opposition is raised, moreover, within the: French territories; and the English people gene rally are indignant at beholding even the semblance of coercion, whether employed towards a couple of youth ful princesses, or to an indolent but still chivalrous community. Precisely at this particular stage of these proceedings curiosity is aroused and cor.jec tures are excited by two very suggestive pieces of in formation. One, that several police agents have been dispatched to London, to reconnoitre the movements of Don CARLOS the younger, and his associates—so that sundry Parisian officers of surveillance may have an opportunity of cooling their heels on the door-steps of the Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-square, of becoming themselves objects of espionage to the metropolitan police, or possibly even of being ordered to "move on" as suspicious characters. The other intelligence to which we have already alluded as so suggestive, is, that directions have been forwarded to Vice-Admiral Sir WILLIAM PARKER, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean station, to remain on the cruising ground of the squadron of evolution from the Tagus to Cadiz and Gibraltar. Such are the principal external circum stances attendant upon the internal commotion of the Peninsula. Active measures are now being made to interfere with the Ministerial arrangements relating to the INrANTA's marriage with a French Prince. Within the Chamber of Deputies, on the 17th notwith standing the decided objections of Senor ISTURITZ, the protest of Don ENRIQUE was formally perused to the representatives by the Secretary, M. NOUDAL. As a fitting corollary to this interesting document, M. PASTOR DIAZ addressed the Chamber during nearly an hour, enlarging upon the evils which the proposed marriage of the INFANTA was calculated to call down upon the Peninsula, and impressing upon the Spanish Government the importance of the objection raised by Great Britain. From these circumstances it will he manifest that the friends of independence and the lovers of nationality are not passive even within the purlieus of the Court, within the presence of those official personages whose principles have been contaminated by the Afrancesado influence, and within the hearing of the obedient President of the Council. Spain must not degenerate into provincialism. Spaniards must not dwindle down into a nation of sycophants. Let them summon to their recollection the hours of their glory and their greatness, when their Government was dominant among the most dominant Governments of Europe, when their MURILLOS, their SAAVEDRAS, and their Soms were an evidence that the inrellect of Spain was no longerdormant; when the geographical discoveries of COLON were a proof of Spanish enterprise; when the progress of CORTEZ was a testimony of Spanish prowess ; when the crown of ISABELLA was a symbol of the generosity of the Spanish ruler; when the councils of X!MENES attested the wisdom of Spanish statesmen. Spaniards have arrived at a terrific ordeal, but with courage and circumspection that ordeal may be passed triumphantly. The frequent instances, recently brought to light, of the neglect, misconduct, violent treatment, and positive inhumanity on the part of the police, call aloud for unmitigated censure. If not daily, we are, at the least, every week shocked by the most flagrant examples of atrocious conduct on the part of members of a body, instituted for the protection and comfort of the public, but fast degenerating into a tyrannir,o scourge, and becoming as imperious as they seem wantonly to imagine they are almost irresponske, both from the vast number of their corps, and :e absolute necessity that exists for some such a fo - ive being kf_pt on foot for the protection of life r;nd property. We are not, we are perbuadei, :yielding to a delw ;ion, when we express our conviction, that the opinion and outraged feelings of the country will soon suffice to impose a salv4ry check upon the iiii-4-ted FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 21.—The committee for the im provement of the condition of the working classess held a meeting to-day. Mr. Charles de Brourkere commu nicated his report on the questions put by the Minister of Justice, relative to the measures to be taken in favour of the population of Flanders, who are left without work by the crisis in the linen trade. In the discussion which took place, the utility of a society for exportation was generally recognised. But, at the same time, the meeting agreed on the necessity of immediately, and by all possible means, procuring work for the population. Neither the Minister for Foreign Affairs nor the Minister of Justice were present at this meeting; 1)1.1 M. Stephins, of the Department of the Interior, and M. Sarlet, of the Department of Foreign Affairs, took part in it. There will be another meeting on Monday. Great preparations are making for the Sep►tember fetes. Since yesterday, workmen have been engaged in the erection of a vast platform on the Place Royale, where the great vocal concert is to take place. It is in the middle of the Place Royale, and is surrounded with candelabra, which are to light it up. The Tree of Liberty is on the centre of the platform so that this most important part of our national fete will take place under the shadow of this symbol of liberty. There is every appearance that the musical solemnity, organised by the Belgian and German Association, will have a very grand effect. Seventy-five societies, of which twenty-five are German, will have their representatives at Brussels, and the numbers of performers, vocal and instrumental, will be 1,200. It is affirmed that Meyerbeer has just finished the score of au qpera, to be called Struessee. The celebrated composer is expected in a few days at Spa, where he in tends spending three weeks before going to Paris. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, who is now in Switzerland, has been ordered to drink goat's milk, for which he will remain in the canton of Appenzel till the end of September. While the prices of corn, butter, eggs, and other arti cles of food are rising in the markets of Brussels, we are happy to announce that potatoes continue to fall. On Monday white potatoes were sold at the rate of five francs per hundred killograms. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 22.—0 n the 15th, in the evening, the Queen of Denmark passed near Keil ; the municipal authorities, a deputation of the university, and a great number of the inhabitants, went to meet her Majesty. The burgomaster addressed a short harangue to her Majesty, begging her to intervene as mediator with the Kieg, in order to terminate as soon as postrole the un happy difference between the King and his people. The Queen replied in a few gracious and affable words, that this difference would be shortly terminated in a sa tisfactory manner. The Queen was greeted with the warmest acclamations, and continued her journey with out entering Keil. The same evening it was reported that the people in tended to repair to the residence of the chief of the po lice, hut the troops and the police prevented the execu tion of this project, and the evening passed without any actual disturbance. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of .Hon o -Kong, Sierra Leone, and St. Helena. NEW &ALA:sp.—Extract of a Letter received at Lloyd's :--Auckland, New Zealand, April 25.—" The Governor and the squadron are still in the south, and we have bad no intelligence of their movements for nearly two months. Report says that the troops have been engaged with the natives in driving them off the disputed land on the Hutt. In the north hostilities are confined to the native tribes at war with each other. Several engagements have taken place within thirty miles of Auckland, and it behoves Government to watch narrowly their movements. We have not by any means a sufficient force in the colony ; from 2,000 to 3,000 men will be required before the Government can ex ercise authority over the aboriginal inhabitants. The colonists here are anxiously looking for reinforcements from England." The Emperor of Russia has just issued an order exempting artists and pupils belonging to the Imperial Academy of the F no Arts, who may wish to visit ft reign countries for improvement, from the payment of the usual dues charged on passports, provided that they pro duce a certificate from the academy stating that they possess a proper degree of talent. This measure is one of some importance, for the duties imposed on passports under the present system is very heavy, and goes on increasing for every six months that the party remains out of Russia.

Herbert, the tinguished author of " Oliver Cromwell," after the et a mple of Bulwer and Lockhart, - is, it appears, about `, test his powers as a delineator of the manners and c ue toms toms of classic times, by the production of a work e n : titled " The Rotnan Traitor, a True Tale of the n ,y public." We hail this announcement with gr' - o t pleasure. Mr. Herbert has already given suffici ° ,,y evidence of his ability as a novelist, to leave not a dell o % of success, as far as the interest arising from the c„,„ ° ,truetion of his story is concerned ; and we under sw ij that almost all the characters are veritable and reno wl LA personages of the Republic, and that they are depic i l e i with a degree of skill and accuracy, displaying a g ri amount of classical learning on the part of this poP tjoe writer. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT THE CAOl' —ADP TERMIN us.—At an early hour on Wednesday more-- Mr. Wilkinson, the chairman of the Croydon CorrlPlre accompanied by Mr. Curling, one of his co-directors, W o j e on the spot, instituting most searching inquiries into er , origin of the disaster. Nothing satisfactory, horle,lo, was arrived at. Mr. Rudge, the traffic superintena f ,, e r resumed the company's inquiry in the course of the noon, and from what transpired the cause is left in to" mystery. That it broke out in the lamp-room therne no doubt. The trimmer states that after the deparwio• of the last train on the previous night, and at the eidl elusion of the day's business , he is positive that he 'of, it in perfect security, and took the precaution of reti re e ing a handful of waste which had collected in the oot! te d of the evening. The watchman asserts that he 1 4 ° i f , it as late as two o'clock, and neither saw nor smelt 010 thing that would lead him to suppose that a fire fiag kindling. We were informed by one of the ofg cr of that the estimated loss was 3,5001., and that the proP e s pe was uninsured. There has been no stoppage to d e traffic on the line, and a great number of workmen '', 3 o busily employed in repairing the damage which has i l, done. We are happy to say that there has been 1 1 °, 1 0 , of life, nor accident to any individual engaged on the'reeo TROTTING.—The referee in the late match betiloi, Messrs. Jenks and Broome's horses, and which te r e n nated in a dispute, has th cided in favour of the fo r till who has received the stakes, viz., 50/.
