BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 2.—By -the Emperor's ()r -iders, a quarantine establishment is to be formed at the Su linsky Mouth of the Danube. It is to be in two parts, one for pratiques, and the other for suspicious vessels and goods ; the first in the island of Leti, the second in the island of Georgiewsk. No goods are to be purified in the establish ment, but they are to be forwarded to the Quarantine Establishment at Odessa, or that at Ismael—it will serve as a place of refuge for ships which are compelled by storms in the strong current of the Danube, to touch at Sulinsky, to take in provisions, or to undergo repairs. Merchants, the clerks, and other travellers will be received into it who, after the expiration of their quarantine, wish to go by land to Ismael—a permission granted likewise to the crews of ships that may be wrecked in the vicinity of these islands.— Frankfort Paper, March 16. BRussELes MARCH 18.—The Committee of the Senate for the eY.amination of the Municipal law has lately met every d•Ay. It has agreed unanimously to propose the adoption of the law without any modification. (From the private Correspondence of the Courrier Beige.) On the 11th of this month the King of Holland was summoned before the Tribunal of the First Instance at Brussels, to appear within the time fixed by the law (two months), there to hear himself condemned to pay to the Directors of the General Society for the Encouragement of National Industry the sum of Eighteen millions of francs, the amount of the balance due on shares taken by the Monarch in a credit opened in 1829, for which certain shares remained as security. " FRANKFORT, MARCH 13.—1 t was stated some time, upon the authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor Nicholas intended to make a journey to Warsaw. This news has just been confirmed by the Allgemiene Zei tung. We learn that the Emperor intends particularly to examine the citadel which is now completed.—Brussels Papers, March 19.

" Sheweth-:--That your petitioners, as the representatives of the citizens of London, deem it to an important duty to ex press their opinions to your Honourable House on any sub ject materially affecting the rights, liberties, or happiness of the community, or deeply involving the character and honour of their country. " That the punishment of flogging in the army and navy, which for a long time past has engaged a large share of public interest, and excited the abhorrence of all classes of society, has been especially forced on the attention of your petitioners by two recent instances of military punishment, which was speedily-followed by the death of the victims. That your peti tioners believe that the inefficiency of flogging for the pro motion of naval and military discipline is susceptible of the strongest proof which fact or argument could furnish on any subject. That your petitioners are nevertheless of opinion, that the cruel torture and debasing tendency of this system could not be palliated, much less justified, by any appeal to expediency. They recognize in it one of those flagrant out rages on the natural morals against which the best feelings of our human nature instinctively revolt; and - they, therefore, most sincerely and earnestly hope that a concern for the honour of the country, the reputation of the navy and army of England among neighbouring nations, combined with a regard to public opinion frequently, strongly, and, without distinction of party, very generally expressed, will prevent any attempt to defend and maintain a mode of punishment, demoralizing and degrading those who inflict, to those who sunr, and to those who witness it. " That the instances to which your petioners have alluded arc only t'so out of many in which death has speedily followed the infliction of the punishment ; that however heinous the off:eices, or some of these cases may have been, they were not Sun as on any principle of justice or morality could be visited with capital punishment, even in its ordinary form, unaccom panied by protracted suffering, and that this destruction of hum in life has been accompanied with a species of torture utterly at variance with the general spirit of our laws, the feol irgs iintl habits of our countrymen, and the principle of Chris tianity. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Ho nourable Ilouse to repeal the laws which authorize the punish ment of flogging - in the army and navy." PRICES OF OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

BIRTH OF A CHILD IN A POLICE STATION- IlousE.-0a Saturday morning, at four o'clock, policeman Tomlinson, 117, L division, brought into the station-house, in Tower-street, Lambeth, a very interesting young woman, named Mary Ann Evans, whom he had discovered in the West minster-road, in a dreadful state of exhaustion. It was at first supposed that she was intoxicated, but, from peculiar circum stances, Inspector King, who was on duty, was induced to send for Mr. Cooke, the surgeon of the division, who, upon arriving, immediately pronounced her to be in the last stage of labour, and in a few minutes a very female child was born. It appeared, upon inquiry, that the unfortunate creature had been a servant in the employment of a gentleman residing in Chi chester-place, Gray's Inn road, by whose wife she had been discharged at ten o'clock on Friday night, and had wandered into the neighbourhood of Lambeth, and taken up her resi dence at a nightly lodging-house adjoining the police station, the landlady of which, upon discovering her situation, turned her into the street. Every attention was paid to her by In spector King.' Both the mother and c hild are doing Bell. The commercial relations of Greece with England are becoming very widely extended. English manufactories are already established at Egina and Eubcea. The direct im portations from England to Patras are triple what they were last year, and the exports have risen from 73,000 to 117,000. The 'value of the merchandise imported in British ships from England, is equal in amount to the wh o l e o f th e o ther imports ; and the exports to foreign States scarcely equal the ninth part of what is sent to England in British ships. These car goes, notwithstanding the reduction of al mos t h a lf t h e d u ty, bare paid into the English Custom House nearly 100,0001. sterling. A melancholy accident occurred on Tuesday last, at Holm-mill, about a mile and a half beyond Biggleswade. The heavy rains had greatly swollen the waters, and the road was flooded for some distance. A woman , accompanied with her two young children, requested a gentleman who was passing in a gig to give them a lift, and she was accordingly allowed to occupy the vacant seat, while the children got up behind. They had proceeded but a short distance when the horse be came restive, a n d th e woman i n h e r alarm caught the reins and backed the ve hi c l e i n t o th e b roo k by the road side, and both the children were drowned. The body of the little boy bad been found on Wednesday morning, but the girl was still missing.—Northampton Mercury.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21 ,18$6, As the question of the Consolidation of the Stamp Duties comes on for discussion to-night in the House of Commons, it may not perhaps be amiss if we hint to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the pro priety of allowing the Stamps relating to Newspapers to form a Bill by themselves. There is nothing like simplicity of legislation, and to mix up the question of the Newspaper Stamps with others with which it has not the slightest affinity, can only tend to create con fusion and embarrassment. Besides, it is one of a most important and peculiar nature, and as such should be considered by itself, without reference to other Stamp regulations. At present it is buried beneath a load of incongruous matter. We trust Mr. SPRING RICE will see fit to adopt our hint as respects the Newspaper Stamp Duties, The Report of the Commissioners for inquiring into the system of !Military punishments in the Army, is worthy of the judicial genius of Lord ELDON. No gold-beater in the full perfection of his art, ever equal led in metallic distension the wonder produced by these doubt-distending Commissioners. The Report is from first to last a distended doubt—a long-drawn hesita tion. The propriety of a change in the system of Military Punishment was very problematical when the Commission was appointed ; and we have now the satis faction of knowi ng th at it rema ins so, and for what the Commissioners can tell to the contrary, may remain so till the " crack of doom." In the discharge of what they assure us they regar d e d as a most important duty, they examined 'a great number of witnesses, whose evidence, as it was very conflicting, had the effect of puzzling them in such a manner as to leave them entirely undecided. From the whole tenor of the Report, it appears that the Commissioners would have had no difficulty in coming to a decision, had only the advocates of one opinionlbeen examined. It is to their anxiety to grapple with the whole question, instead of being sati s fi e d w i t h one h a lf o f i t, t h at we areindebted for one of the most curious specimens of a Report in the language. In their eagerness to prove the care with which they have examined the subject, the Commissioners quote the leading points of the evi dence in their Report, which they refute after a fashion peculiar to themselves ; and having thus shewn all the witnesses to be wrong, they very logically :conclude that all systems are alike defective—that their relations are very complicated—and that, in plain English, they can neither make head nor tail of the whole qffair. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1836, Nov, for a specimen or two of the logical acutenes-, of the Commissioners : "We observe that, throughout the evidence, great doubt is thrown upon the fact of flogging being considered by the sol diers, at all events, a degrading punishment, if applied in the case of a military offence only. Almost the universal answer to the question of whether a man who has been punished at the halberds is considered by his comrades as degraded by that pu nishment, and consequently shunned by them, has b fen in the negative, and that the nature of the crime led to degradation and not the punishment. And with regard to its effect as hardening, and not reforming the individual, it will be found, upon looking at the evidence, that such is by no means the universal consequence. Many instances are given of men who have undergone this punishment having become good soldiers, and having reached the rank of non-commissioned officers, and even of officers in some instances." From this statement it would appear, either that no soldier is flogged save for an offence in its very nature degrading,. or that a soldier may be flogged for certain offences without incurring the odium of his comrades. The first inference is contradicted by the next para graph in the Report ; and the second cannot be true without admitting that the bystanders transfer the odium from the victim of military torture to the system, if not to the officers by whose orders it is inflicted. In this case indifference is impossible, for no- soldier can witness the flogging of a comrade without being persuaded that he is punished justly or unjustly. If he think the punishment deserved he will re gard the object of it as degraded ; if undeserved he will imbibe a hatred of the service, and of his officers. The Commissioners talk of instances of soldiers who, having been flogged, subse quently rose to the rank of officers. They forgot, however, to inform his MAJESTY whether they here speak of the rule or the exception. We hardly believe the former, as then flogging would be in greater repute than it appears to be at present. What, then; does the exception prove ? Why, this—that a flogged sol dier is not without a chance of promotion as well as a murderer, a convicted thief, a swindler, or any other description of villain. What would the Commis sioners think of us were we to tell, them, with the im posing gravity of a council appointed to advise his MAJESTY, that murder could hardly be called dis graceful, inasmuch as many murderers had subsequently risen to the rank of Judges, Ministers of State, Pre lates, Peers, and even Sovereign Princes ? -But to proceed : " It must be remembered, also, that it is frequently thought necessary to inflict this punishment in a military body, when the moral reformation of the individual is in no degree its ob ject; instances of insubordination which cannot be passed over may, and very often do occur, where the offender is any thing but an immoral or vicious person. The prompt infliction of corporal pnnishment may be necessary in such a case, for the sake of example, and to prevent the spreading of a disorderly or mutinous spirit ; but it cannot be said that its object is the moral reform of the individual; and we cannot help thinking that this constitutes a great difference between offenders against the military and the civil law." How a man can be an offender against a law which he voluntarily binds himself to observe without being either vicious or immoral, is more than we can com prehend : but, with the exception of the Commis sioners,we question whether an equal number of gentle men, unconn ected with the military service , would be found in the three Kingdoms, having the assurance to assert that the punishment of soldiers by flogging for offences neither vicious nor immoral, is justifiable under any circumstances. The monstrous doctrine that an innocent man may be flogged as an example to deter others from the commission of crime, is only fit for the meridian of Upper Egypt. With ME HEMET ALI it might do very well ; but no admirer of British liberty would dare to pro pound it in England. To suppose that a British soldier could be made to respect and fear a law under which an innocent comrade could be dragged before a court-martial, tied up to a triangle, - and lacerated until the victim of such cruelty could endure no more, or expire on the spot, is to cast a moral stigma upon the military service—to assume soldiers to be mere tools, in whose breasts the fire of honest indignation never burned. But the assumption is a gross and malignant libel upon the character of the British army. The only effect of a punishment intended merely as an example, and for which no adequate cause existed, would be to fill the hearts of private soldiers with an inextinguishable hatred of their officers, and of the whole military system. The following extract is a fine commentary upon those which have preceded it : -- " The next objection is, that it excites disgust and sympathy in the bystanders in favour of the sufferer. " It will undoubtedly be found by the evidence, that the ight of corporal punishment has a great effect upon those present, and that with the young soldier that effect is some times so powerful as to produce physical weakness and fainting. It is aiijicult to say whether this is disgust or terror, but we must observe that such circumstances cannot arise without a very strong impression having been made upon the mind, and that, from that impression, must be derived a confident hope of the efficacy of the example presented to the eyes. But with regard to the sympathy of the bystanders, we can collect no thing from the evidence to show that such a feeling is aroused by this punishment in the minds of the comrades of the cul prit ; on the contrary, the feeling seems to be almost universal among them that no man is punishedia that manner, in these days, who has not deserved it." If our readers will only turn to the first paragraph, above quoted, they will find that it is possible for a soldier to be flogged without degradation ; but, accord ing to the doctrine here laid down, the first position is false, as the conviction on the part of soldiers that no man is punished in the army undeservedly, is proof positive that in all cases degradation is the necessary consequence of punishment. This is sad blundering, although the Commissioners do not appear to be at all aware of We should like to have heard the Commissioners when deliberating upon the question—whether the sickness of a soldier, produced by the sight of the bloody and lacerated back of a comrade—was the effect of fear or disgust. We regret that upon this p oint, especially, their doubts were not removed by evidenye as convincing as sometimes falls to the lot of soldieis " neither vicious nor immoral." Had we been in at tendance, we should certainly have suggested-an effec:- tual method for clearing up this metaphysical subtlety. But suppose we were to admit that the soldier, acting merely as a bye-stander, faints from terror, and not from disgust, will it be contended that he is a better man when he recovers than he was before witness ing so dreadful a spectacle ? Quite the reverse. Such a man is henceforth virtually disqualified for serving in the army ; for he can never again regard the service in the light of an institution intended to protect human liberty, and his continuance in the ranks will not be the result of volition on his part, but of stern necessity. We may again return to this subject. We have seen a letter from Plymouth in which it is stated that His MAJESTY'S Steamer, Phenix, sailed on Saturday morning for the North of Spain, with 150 marines, intended to aid the cause of the Qu een o f Spain, and that other vessels are to follow for the same destination. It is believed that these men are sent by the Engish Government with the object to garrison San Sebastian, Bilboa, and other important places on the coast. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. They bring some advices from the North of Spain, which are, however, o f no political importance O n the 10th, MINA left Barce lona to scour Catalonia , a nd ex p el from i t every Car list bearing arms. Previous to his settingout he levied 500,000 francs on the inha bitants of Barce lona to defray the expense of this campaign. CABRERA, the Carlist chief, whose mother was shot by command of NOGLTERAS, has carried his vow of vengeance into effect, by the slaughter of eighteen women, the wives, mothers, and daughters of officers in the QUEEN'S service. In the Sitting of Friday, the Chamber of Deputies passed a Bill granting an additional sum of 500,000 francs for the support of the Polish refugees now re sident in France. PARIS, MARCII 19.—There is nothing in the letters and journals of Bayonne received to-day to confirm the news of the action at Salvatierra mentioned in a telegraphic despatch three days ago. This will turn out like the affair of Orduna. Marshal Clauzel is expected in the first fortnight of next month. The object of his return is to defend the Budget of Algiers, which was so warmly attacked in the sub-Committee of the Chamber of Deputies. Another object is to fulfil the engagements into which he entered with the Electors of Rhetel at the last elections. Lieut.-General Count Marbot, aid-de-camp to the Duke of Orleans, and Marquis Maison, son of the Minister of War, are expected at Rocroy, to make out a camp for 21,000 men and 3,000 horses. It is said that the Ministers, in private conversation, seem more inclined to the reduction of the interest of the debt than might be supposed from their official declarations. If we may believe their friends, what hinders them from proposing the measure this session, is the fear, or rather the certainty that it would be defeated by the opposition in the Chamber of Peers? It is affirmed that M. de Passy is to repeat, on Monday, in the public sitting the explanation given in the Committee, and the effect of which was sensibly weakened by the subsequent declarations of M. Thiers, in the sitting of Monday last.- Messager, March 19. FRENCH FUNDS.-Pants, Mallen 18. Five per Cents., 107 f. 30c. Four and a Half ner Cents. 102 f. 75e. Four per Cents., 101 f. 50e.

The Committee met this morning at the usual hour. Mr. AUSTIN, on the part of the sitting Members, ob jected to the names of certain raters being removed from the poll, because of the non-payment of the pipe water tax. The grounds of the Learned Gentleman's objection were these :—First, that the pipe water was not a .municipal tax ; secondly, that the assessment was invalid ; and thirdly, that no demand of payment was made. Mr. THESSIGER was speakinc , in support of the validity of the rate when our reporter left. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Lordship, the MASITIL of the Rou.s, was occupied the whole morning with motions, chiefly on points of prac tice, of no general public interest. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY. :MACINTOSH V. EVERINGTON. Mr. KNIGHT applied this morning, in this case, for the revival of an injunction which bad been granted by the Court some time since. Our readers will recollect that, in November last an application was made on behalf of Mr. Macintosh, the manufacturer of the cloaks that bear his name, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from manufacturing a similar article, which he alleged was an in fringement of a patent he had obtained. Upon that appli cation, which was. made ex parte, the Court granted the injunction. In December an application was made on be half of the defendant to dissolve that injunction, and upon that occasion it was agreed by all parties that the injunc tion should be dissolved without prejudice, the plaintiff being put to bring an action. After that an application was made to the Court for the purpose of postponing the trial, but that application was refused with costs. The trial took place on the'2sth and 26th February, and a ver dict was then found for the plaintiff, establishing the patent. At the conclusion of the trial an application was made, on behalf of the defendant, for leave to enter a nonsuit, and no notice had been given of a motion for a new trial.. Un der these circumstances the Learned Counsel trusted that he had made out a case for the revival of the injunction. Mr. JACOB, on behalf of the defendant, denied that the verdict established the validity of the patent. It was the intention of the defendant to apply for a new trial in the next Term, which was the earliest possible moment he could adopt that course. He submitted, therefore, that the Court would not order the injunction to be rev'ved until the fifth day of next Term. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the injunc tion ought to be revived. He did not find that there was any complaint made of the reception cf evidence by the Learned Judge that ought not to have been received, or of the rejection of evidence which ought to have been received. If the defendant succeeded in the second trial, of course be would be at liberty to apply to dissolve the injunction. Ll' WAVERLEY NOVELS. PARTS 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10. Fisher. London. 1836. This is a new series of Scott's immortal novels, publishing weekly in shilling parts, and printed from the author's own edition, being in fact, the only one which contains all his last notes, introductions, and corrections. It has further the advantage of being illustrated by a variety of engravings from designs furnished by Turner, and also by George Cruickshank, who has engaged to contribute a series of comic illustrations. A few of these last are now lying before us, and are executed in George's very best manner. Alto gether, the edition is the cheapest and the most complete of any that has yet appeared. PRACTICAL LATIN GRAMMAR. East. London, 1836. A. very useful elementary treatise, remarkable for its simplicity and conciseness ; but most inconveniently printed in two thin volumes, instead of being comprised in one. Should the work reach a second edition, this defect should be remedied, for schoolmasters will be apt to complain of it, as a drawback on the general utility of the work. LANDSCAPE—HISTORICAL ILL USTRA TIONS OF SCOTLAND. Fisher. London, 1836. The second and third Parts of this Work have just reached us ; they contain six engravings—for the most part Landscapes—from designs supplied by Turner and other eminent artists, illustrative of the scenery of Guy Man nering and Waverley. Brief descriptions are attached to each print, from the pen - of the Rev. G. Wright. LAS CASES' MEMOIRS. Colburn. London, 1836. Mr. Colburn deserves great credit for the cheap, com pact, and handsome form in which he is getting up these memoirs of the last years of Napoleon, which are publishing in weekly parts, like the Waverley Tales, and are embel lished, like them, with numerous appropriate en gravings. We understand that the republication, so far as it has yet gone, has met with prodigious suc cess ; and we do not wonder at it, for the author (Count Las Cases) is a most faithful and animated his torian, and was in the full confidence of the Emperor Napoleon, of whose manners, habits and conversations, during his exile at St. Helena, he gives, if possible, even a better, certainly a more minute account, than even O'Meara himself has furnished us with. The present part contains an engraving of Sir Hudson Lowe, who looks much more like a rat-catcher, than an officer in the British army. We cannot, however, vouch for the accuracy of the likeness, having never seen the jailor of Napoleon. FINE ARTS. SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. A private view of this exhibition took place on Saturday in Suffolk-street. It is a highly creditable exhibition, of more than average excellence, containing many historici paintings and well-executed landscapes, though fewer por. traits than usual—a deficiency, however, to which few vi sitors will feel inclined to object. Among the historica pictures we may single out for praise Linton's " Je rusalem" at the instant of the crucifixion, which, though perhaps it reminds us'somewhat too much of Martin's manner, is strik ing in its effects, and remarkably successful in its colouring. " Home-brewed" is from • the pencil of F. Pidding, and_ is happily conceived and executed. A jolly old farmer, sur rounded by a family party of gossips, is criticizing, evidently with strong gusto, the merits of some genuine English ale. The expression of his countenance bespeaks the connois seur, and is, otherwise, full of appropriate character. The grouping too of the picture is admirable. " Newton dis covering the loss of his Papers," by Goblet, evinces 'no ordinary powers of mind. The philosopher's countenance, which betrays deep regret and vexation, chastened how ever by tfie long enforced habits of calm reflection, could only have been pourtrayed by one who was well skilled in the expression of the human face—perhaps the greatest difficulty which a young. artist has to struggle with in his profession. " Bingley Gate," near the city of Canterbury, I is remarkable for some skilfully painted cattle, which proves that the author has studied the works of Paul Potter with success. Yet he is no servile imitator of the manner of that great artist, being merely indebted to him, here and there, for a judicious hint. " Smuggler looking out" is a very manly and vigorous production, particularly as respects the head of the smuggler, which is full of bold expression, and most skilfully coloured. " A Peasant Girl of Frescati," is by Hurlstone. It is natural and graceful, though not without some few trivial defects in regard to the colouring. " Pea sant Boys of the Abruzzi Mountains" by the same 'artist, is in it much better style, and reminds us not unfavourably of Murillo—indeed parts of the picture may almost vie in firmness and propriety of colouring, strong and fervid, with out exaggeration, of that Spanis h artist's fine production in the Dulwich Gallery. Haydon's " John Bull at Break fast" is capital. What a promising appetite John shows With what a gloating eye, full informed with the true gas tronomic expression, he eyes the edibles 1 The picture almost gives one an appetite to look at it. " Portrait of a Lady," by Salter, is clever, and gives us a high idea of the talents of this young artist, who is among the most rising of his day. The painting, however, seems as if it were hung in a wrong light ; but e ven with this manifest draw back, it rivets the eye of the s p ectator. The drawing is singularly fine, and the colo urin g and expression just. Mrs. C. Pearson has one or two good portraits, and among them one of Sheriff Salomons, which, as a likeness, is not t 9 ,he mistaken. There a re nearly nine hundred subjects in the Gallery.

NEWCASTLE CORN M A RKET.-March 19. We had a fair supply of Wheat from..the farmers to-day, for which the demand was brisk, at an advance of 2s. per quarter on the prices of this day se'nnight. In consequence of the small arrivals, Barley has been rather scarce this week, and prices may be quoted ls. per quarter dearer. Malt con tinues a dull sale. Oats were in fair supply, and a ready sale at an advance of Is. per quarter. White Peas continue in great request. Rye, Beans, and Grey Pease without change. Flour is more enquired after, and prices are looking higher. New. usa. Wheat, Northumberland 39s. 475. -s--..1 - Norfolk and Suffolk 4os. 485....... - s. 44 ----.

Much , it is said, will depend upon whether the wheat crops sustain any serious injury. About 5,000 acres of land have been inundated, and the probability is that the damage will amount to from 12,0001. to 15,0001.
