BRUSSELS, TRVASDAT
This afternoon the Statistical Congress ass.tnbled
fur the third time. The resolutions were to the effect
IL.' the (\lista of the population should be taken by
returns tilled up by each person, or each head of a
farm y ; that those returns should contain the names,
birthplace, language habitually spoken, religion
by profession, term of residence in the dicricr, and
• ut children (if any) receiving instruction ; of
et.ry poser' inscribed—the residence to be described
as peima:ient or temporary; that the returns should
make mention of the number of blind, deaf and dumb,
and insane persons in each house; that it was not ad-
tissble to attach penalties to any omission : that the
lot of births should give the sex of each child, stat-
ing whetner legitimate or illegitimate, and the num-
ber of children still-born or twins; that the li,t of
marriages should give not only the age but also the
professions of the parties; and that, as far as possi-
ble, the nature of maladies which have caused death!,
sLould be set down—the last kind of information to
be obtained through the medical men of each
district.

With reference to the F.astern qucstior, there are
good grounds for stating that the governments
represented in the Vienna Conference are not in
accordance one with the wher respecting certain
points a hich, although they are not at present of
r.ramount importance, may provoke in the end
schism between Austria, and perhaps Prussia, on the
one side, and the ta o maritime powers on the other.
if so, all the better for Turkey. Up to a recent date,
however, none of the above four powers had aban-
dmed the idea of getting the Vienna proposals
accepted in Constantinople.

ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN.
The Hermann arrived yesterday at Southampton,
on her way to Bremen. She left New York on the
link instant, and brings three days laters news than
the previous arrival.
m. Calder, claimed as a fugitive from justice by
Fngland, under the Ashburton treaty, his been
bully discharged from custody. The case haring
been dismissed for want of sufficient testimony
against the accused, application was made for his
detention until additional evidence could be obtained
from England. Judge Edmonds decided that he had
no power to grant the request, such power being
vested in the executive of the United States. The
President, however, has concluded that he has no
authority to control the action of a judge who, by the
trgity, is charged with the preliminary examination,
an is to determine the case upon the evidence
adduced. Under these circumstances Judge Edmonds
has decided that Calder cannot be longer retained.
Patrick Sneed, whew arrest was so desperately
op(+osed by the coloured waiters at one of the hotels
at ;lagers Falls someday. ago, has been discharged
from custody by Judge Jones at Buffalo, upon the
ground that there are no papers to warrant his de-
tention ei•her all a fugitive slave or all the alleged
murderer of Mr. Jones of Savannah.

A great decrease has taken place in the number of
deaths by yellow fever at New Orlear.s within the

era, appears to be on the increase at Mobile.
lteports of dissatisfaction with the pernicious
edicts of Santa Anna are again beginning to reach
New York from Mexico. At last advice, several
statcs were alleged to have declared against him.
