BELGIUM.

The Independanee of Brussels contradicts the as-
sertion of the Emancipation, that the French and
Belgian governments, on the occasion of the literary
convention, had agreed upon the principle of an ar-
rangement relative to trade marks. No stipulation
on the subject was adopted or even projected.
The Brussels journals publish the official returns
of the imports and exports of Belgium during the
first seven months of the present year. They pre-
sent a marked improvement, and show that Belgian
commerce is steadily on the increase.

WALKING ON ME CeILINO.—Au extract from the
tVoiese :standard, Wayne county, states that on Saturday
afternoon it wits advertised that Mr. It. Sands, circus per-
former, would, among other things, walk across tho ceiling
with his feet upwards and his head downwards, by means of
a scientific apparatus appended to his feet. The experi-
ment was successfully made by Mr. It. Sands, and the
audience went away perfectly satisfied with what they had
seen, all except ono person, who 'aid Mr. Sands could
not perform the feat out of the circus. Mr. Sands offered
to exhibit the same performance in any place where a ceil-
ing having a smooth surface of sufficient strength to sustain
his weight could be obtained. The large room in the Town-
hall was selected. Mr. Sands repaired to the hall, and com•
menced his antipodal performance over the ceiling at an
elevation of 18 feet from the floor. Ile bad proceeded seve-
ral steps, and %yes in the act of returning, when a large por-
tion of the plaster gave way, and he was precipitated to the
floor beneath. Mr. Sands was taken op senseless. His
neck was broken by the fall, and death ensued instantly.
Tlle ELECTon oY IfESSE CAMEL and his family'
were among the passengers bj the train which ran off the

him soon after his arrival at Cased to congratulate him on
the escape, fortunate for him at least.
