OUTRAGE UPON AN ENGLISHMAN AT

ANTWERP.

The following is an =teed from a letter pub-
Bohai in the Journal d'Anwrs of last Friday, and the out-
rage to which it refers appears to call for some explana-
tion :-
4' A ship, loaded with powder, chattered by a colonel
staying at the Hotel Fleur de Ble, at Binges, and agent of
the English government at Cologne, left Welton. for Lon.
don. She had soldiers on board, was furnished with all
neesesary papers, and bed orders to proceed on her voyage
with all dispatch. Oa arriving at Bruges the ship was per-
mimed to enter the basin of the canal, without being told
that there was not 'silkiest water to enable her to continue
bet voyage safely. When I. the baein the captain was
desired to take out the ship at his own expense, which
he Mimed to do, saying that as he had paid the port
charges, end as the euthorities bad allowed him to eater,
it was their duty, and not hit, to rescue the ship from her
improper position. Last Friday, whilst the captain was on
board, the captain of the port came and asked him to speak
to the ememissary of police, and, as the captain personally
knew that gentleman, he consented to do so. As soon, how.
ever, as be lM put his foot in shore he was asked again
whether he vonld withdraw hie ship, to which he replied,
' No, not at my own expense • bat you may move her if
you please.' Upon this they sneaked sad seised him,
endeavouring to put !widest& apes bits. The captain, not
Skin to be treated like a malefactor or a thief, naturally
resisted—being a strong man, repulsed the police, aid,
having got one handcuff off, threw both into the water.
After this he was conducted before the commissary and sent
so prises fee several boars, when be was set at liberty. The
stip was then removed from hes position by the people of
the puce,

Again the weather ham become somewhat moist,
but the time is nearly quite passed when any slight
vicissitudes of this kind would create alarm.
following remarks on the results of the harvest appear
in the Weekly Commercial Review of the Freeman :
This week has been one of encouragement to those classes
who look for an amelioration in their prospects to good
crops and a bountiful harvest. The accounts which are
from day to day so copiously extracted from our contempt.-
ruin, as well as the bulk of privet* letters we have seen
from all parts of the country, give us confidesee in assert-
ing that the yield of our crops in the aggregate, as now
ascertained with tolerable definiteness, is above au aver-
4e, is well saved, and, as • whole, good in weight.
1:_‘• open market has shown a very hold front ; firm prices
prevail, but sales are small, and on the hand to. mouth prin-
ciple. The market continues sparingly supplied as • matter
of gouts* just now, and this is the chief support of the
market. With gees: crops here and in England, as well as
the Coatis eat, it is easy to see which way prices ought to go,
although, from the busy sad insleptudoltetate of farmers,
prima may 'mash% as they ars, or, shalt they tare specu-
lators and MC a rho, us last year, may eventuate.

The harvest in , , is locality is making rapid pretreat, not-
withstanding the s •karcity of agricultural labourers, whose
places, in many instil:ices are filled up by females. Within
the last week a great breadth of cereals has boon secured in
excellent condition, and :air farmers aro labouriag amid.-
ously in stacking hay, which, notwithstanding the late un-
certain weather, is better is quality than was antedysted.
The following aro some of ear latest harvest
reports
Farmers laving cut down a considerable portion of the
cereal crops, in fine condition, under the line weathered the
last fortnight, an hoginalog to supply the heal markets,
and upwards of 160 tattles& of green were tbio day coasted
at the Limerick market, where buying was brisk, and the
prices highly remunarative.—Linserich Chromic:fr.
During the last week we have bad an opportunity of
minutely inspecting the crops over the wide extant of
country comprised in the Bilheasloe Agricultural Society.
In every direction a plenteous harvest meets the view, and
the produce is in general even greater than we had at first
anticipated. The grain in nosey instance*, however, is
1 standing "dead ripe," without a saelciency of bandit* reap
ii. The oldest labourer does not recollect ever to have
received such high wages for reaping in Ireland. From 2s.
to 3s. per diem is freely given, and in some cases a dinner
extra. This year the harvest at home paid the kid' reaper
as wall se if he had gone either to Sighed or Scotland.
Green crop present • healthy appearance, and amongst
eventhe small farmers of this district we have pea grope of
turnips which for cleanness and easeful uranageenrat might
vie with those of any district in she kingikm. We hays
heard but few complaints of the potato blight, and there-
fore conclude that its effects have been, ea the whole,
partial.— Western Star.

A Mr. W. M•Geough Bond is spoken of u a con-
servative candidate for Armagh at the next election.
The Cork Reporter says:
We regret to hate to announce that several cues of
pleuro•pneumoaia in cattle have again made their appear-
ance in this aeighbourhood, and a considerable quantity
of diseased meat is finding its way iota the city.

CARD awINDLRRs.—On Thursday morning six
confederates made their appearance at the Dublin terminaa
of the Great Southern and Weeterr. Railway, and, after
procuring third class tickets, proceeded in one of the car-
riages. Each of the confraternity wu attired in a different
m : one as a sailor, another sea mason, a third ea a
countryman, another as a commercial traveller, tie. Sun
after the starting of the train " three cards" were drawn
forth by one of the party, and an unwary individual, who
woo unfortunate enough to travel in the carriage, wu
fleeced to the extent of 22e. 6d. These miscreants had plenty
of gold and notes, bet the latter were "dub" and not wonh
a farthiag. Jut as the train arrived at Dealehatch station,
a recruit, who was proceeding to join his regiment, snatched
some note. and b.. in silver from ono of the gang. H.
Peened to know they were swindlers, and refused to give up
the cub. Os getting out at Haslehatch station they col-
lared the »unit, who, however, knocked two of the gang
down with his lid, and caught another by the throat. The
railway guard was then called, but on this functionary
making his appearance the suepicioue looking individuals
beat a tasty retreat. It is said they were proceeding to
Kildare nom—Cork Conatittaion.

west by the parish boundary, south by Westbouros.grom
and the Bishop's-road, theses to the Terraces on the east by
the boundary of Westbourne-terrace and Harrow-road, the
extent of the parish boundary. No. 2. On the north by the
parish boundary (Kilburn-bridge), and north west and east
parish boundary (Kllbarn.bridge), and saorth west and east
by the boundary also; eolith by Pried-street and South
harf-road, west of Grand Junction Canal from the
Bishop's-road-bridge, theca, westward to the corner of West-
bourneiterrace, along Westbourne-terrace, over Westbourne-
terrace-bridge and Harrow-road to the parish boundary.
No. 3. North from the parish boundary, along Westboorne-
grove and the Bishop's-road, to Westb•iurne-terrace. From

Prsed-street.
Mr. Robins inquired in what manner it was intended to

other meessors was, that they should leave railways and
canals out.
Mr. Glitch mid they were entitled to votes under the
Weal set.
The Assessor said he believed they were not under Hob-
hense's Ast, and that was the heels for the Metropolis Load

Mr. Robin.. on the part of the ratepayers, tendered their
thanks to the assessor, and the proceedings terminated.
