BELGIUM.

The president of the Belgian Chamber of Deputies
has addressed a circular to the various members,
dated Brussels, 6th June, informing them that, as he
had received notice from the ministry that the modi-
fications which were to be introduced in the various
measures before the Chamber would occupy them for
some time, he considered it advisable to adjourn the
sittings until the 23rd inst., on which day business
would be proceeded with as usual.

CEYLON.

KANDY, APRIL 25.
I avail myself of the additional steamer the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company vend for the convenience of
the Exhibition visitors, to give you the intelligence up to
this date. The rains have been tolerably regular since my
last, and a great quantity of laud has been planted with new
coffee. Sickness has decreased with the change of weather.
His Excellency the Governor is still here, diligently apply-
ing himself to the consideration of the nee,sary changes in
the legal and other departments, to be proposed to the
council probably next session. Mr. Mc Curthy, the colonial
secretary, is in Colombo, much better, and there is now no
fear that he will be obliged to go home. All are glad of his
recovery. His absence just now wouln be agreat loss.
Captain Watsan's court martial is still pending. The pro-
secutor seems very careless and negligent in his duty, but I
cannot say more till the result is announced.
According to present appearances, there will be more
than an average crop of coffee the next crop. The blossom
looks well. _

k.xchangcs are again down. Six months bills 6, to 6
per cent.
There is a probability of the Commercial Bank establish-

TUE BRIGHTON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—BRIGIITON,
MONDAT.—A coroner's inquest was held this morning at
the Sussex County Hospital, on view of the body of Samuel
Jackson, the unfortunate engine driver, who met his death
by the overthrow of the train on Friday last between
Falmer and Lewes. The body having been identified by
Mr. Balchin, station master at the Brighton Terminus, with
a view to its interment, the only evidence offered was that
of Mr. Penfold, the house surgeon of the hospital, who de-
scribed the nature of his wounds, which were of a frightful
description. There was one other fact elicited, of material
importance, end that was that deceased bud stated that
when the ein ran off the line he was breaking coke, and
did not perceive any obstruction on the road. The coroner
informed the jury that the second inquiry would be n more
lengthened one, and he thought they had better adjourn
till after the other jury sitting at Lewes bad terminated
their labours. This was aced to, and the inquest on
Jackson was adjourned accordingly till Monday next. In
the course of the morning Mr. Gel stated that the inquiry
would not affect any person criminally except oue, and he
could not get away. It is rumoured that the boy Boakes,
bears of age, has confessed to putting the sleeper on the

throughout the week, as on Saturday, their collections ems
been crowded with visitors. It is remarked with gatisthe-
non as one result of the stimulus afforded by the Royal
Botanic exhibition that there is now a greater display of
variety and effect of colour; and there can be no doubt they
exercise a beneficial inthance en art and on the public
taste. The rhododendrons most remarked were in Messrs.
Standish and Noble's collection, R. Albertum, R. altum
carcase splendcns, R. maculate= grandiflorum, and R.
mammoth; and in Mr. Waterer's It. Partonii, R. Noble-

R. ignescent, Towa;dianum, R. vestitum coecincum, and
R. song d'Austerlitz. Meson. Standish and Noble again
exhibited the flower of the Chinese peony tree. This re-
markable production will be a great addition to our gardens.
At Shangbae the tree grows to 12 feet in height, and bears
above .500 colossal flowers. Their Chinese cypress was also
on show. Mr. Waterer had some line azaleas, and Mr.
Baker some conifers. The band of the 2nd Life Guards
was in attendance; and the company visited the Victoria
Regia house, the winter garden, and the other departments
now in Banishing condition. The rose garden now in
preparation excited much interest, and is, we are informed,
in a forward state.

SPAIN.

MADRID, luxe 4.
The Geeettc contains the appointment of Armero
to the ministry of marine.
It is stated that a deputation of three Portuguese
officers of the revolted garrison of Elves presented
themselves to the Spanish Captain-General at Ba-
dajoz, requesting his co-operation to put down the
government at Lisbon. The Captain-General ap-
plied to the government at Madrid for instructions.
The Marquis of Miratiores pursues with zeal the
scheme of intervention in Portugal, but is opposed
by some other ministers, especially Lersundi. Bravo
Murillo and his party allow the negotiations on this
subject with the great powers to proceed, foreseeing
that England will put her veto on intervention in
the present stage of the revolution at least. Lord
Howden has frequent conferences with the ministers
on this subject. M. Arnao, ex-secretary of the
Spanish embassy in Paris, has been despatched to
Vienna, with a view to consulting Prince Schwarzen-
berg.
The sitting in the Chamber to-day has been
animated. The violent abuses resorted to by the go-
vernment in the elections have been vigorously im-
pugned by Mozano, ex-rector of the university,
in the case of the election of M. Villaverde, minis-
terial candidate for the district of Puente-Candelas.

The opposition candidate, Pereira, was fired at, and
his horse shot under him, and other atrocious means
of intimidation used to frighten away his voters from
the poll. Eseosura, Salamanca's minister of the in-
terior, and banished after the events of 18-18, has
made a brilliant speech, which was being answered
by Bertram de Lis when the post left.

MARYLEBONE.

An African, named Ruyder, was charged with violently
assauPing Mr. T. Ellis, Park-road.
Ruyder, as it appeared from the statement of Mr. Gordon
Cumming, of the African Exhibition, his master, was
picked up by that gentleman some six years ago as he came
down to the Orange river, having escaped from the Boers,
by whom he had been held. At his own wish he was
taken into Mr. Cumming's service, followed him in his
perambulations, and now explains in his own fashion the
curiosities of his native country to the English.
Mr. Broughton put some questions to Mr. Cumming con-
cerning the terms of the ncgro's service, when the former
stated that he gave Ruyder clothes and food, but it was
necessary to give him money with caution in consequence
of his lore of drink.

With reference to the present charge Mr. Ellis stated that
on the previous afternoon, as he was walking towards Ken-
sington-gardens, he saw the prisoner in a cab, the driver of
which refused to carry him without being paid beforehand,
as he was evidently very drunk. He (Mr. Ellis) stopped,
together with many ether persons, owing to the altercation
which had arisen, when the prisoner gave him a violent
blow with a stick. He also struck other parties with the
same weapon, and with great force. lie was at that period
in the vehicle, the window of which he had opened. He
suddenly made kis exit by the door, and attempted to bite
several persons, as also the nose of the cab horse, and, after
a most determined resistance, he was strapped down and
conveyed to the station-house upon a stretcher He was
then lucked up, and while in the celrlnspeetor May was
obliged to give orders for him to be handcuffed.
The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, re-
plied that a gentleman had given him some ale and
beer, which took effect upon him " all of a sudden."
Mr. Broughton said he thought that the prisoner's temper
would be much improved by his being placed for a time in
confinement.
_ _

Captain Cumming—l'd rather pay a penalty for him,
sir, for he explains to the public the different objects in the
Exhibition.
_ . _

The magistrate—l shall fine him 305., or a month's int-
prismunent ; and I would recommend you, captain, not to
pay the money for him, u I think a little prison discipline
may turn out to have been beneficial.
The captain paid the penalty imposed upon his efficient
servant, who wu then icharged.

POOR LAWS.

In answer to Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, who wished to
know something of the intentions of the government re-
garding the amendment of the poor law and the law of
settlement,
Sir 6.08EY replied that the President of the Board of
Trade had a bill prepared upon the subject, but it wu
scarcely necessary to remind the hon. gentleman that there
had hitherto been no opportunity of entertaining it in the
house, or that that was the rums it had not been intro-
duced.

ITALY.

In its sitting of the 13th, the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin considerably modified the vote which it had
come to in the preceding sitting, on the question of
the privileges of Nice. Signor Cardona having
started the question whether the late vote meant that
the free-port of Nice should be abolished in 1834,
even though the tariff were not revised in 1853, or
that the revision was a sine qua non for the abolition,
a long debate ensued, which ended in a voto trans-
ferring the condition of revision to the chapter of
general provisions, thus making the abolition of the
five-port independent of the revision of the tariff.
The Conserratore, of Florence, quotes a letter from
Leghorn of the 9th, giving the particulars of a donii-
ciliary visit mentioned as having taken place at a villa
near the Condotti, inhabited by the family of the late
Lord Aldborough. Notwithstanding the precautions i
taken, a person attempted to escape over the garden I
wall, but was arrested, and was at once identified as 4
a native of Lucca, who had formerly served in the ,
police corps. The inmates of the villa being sum-1
moned to open the doors in the name of the law, they I
answered that the house was inhabited by Eng-
lish subjects, and consequently inviolable. A long
parley ensued, after which the authorities,suspecting
that advantage was taken of the delay to burn papers
and other articles, ordered the doors to be broken
open, and a similar question had to be repeated up
stairs, where they found a door secured with iron
bars ; two persons were arrested in the act of barn-1
in g a mass of papers. The police found, besides a
voluminous correspondence in English, a complete
set of printing materials, several clandestine publi-
cations printed on the premises, and a quantity of
arms. The three sons of Lord Aldborough, and the
individual who had attempted to escape, were az-

We committee to consider that the quake before thesis,

Trevelyan were M. the tame importance and of equal labour
te the slilettetiey of the Travesty. They now said they
mould reduce the salary to 2,0001. If they acknowledged
gbh a (meetse this, what security bad they that they
Weald not rushee next year to 1,5001., and the following
psi to 1,0001. He thought that the committee should
net swot to so dangerous a principle as that suggested.

un sauna said the argument of the hon. member
tar had jets spoken would be extremely good, if the
kale were in the habit of underpaying their public see-
Mats; but the fact was, that their public servants were
phi too much. He believed that for 2,0001. a year the
Bess head and the most superior talent might be obtained
in this country; and, therefore, he should give his vote in

SOUTII AUSTRALIA.

Accounts to Feb. 2K have been received from Ade-
laide. The nld Legislative Council expired on the
22nd. The Governor delivered an address on the
occasion

The council then adjourned sine die, having first
decided against tho principle of the ballot, to the
chagrin of the majority of the colonists, who have
signitied their approval of that mode of voting.
Some idea may be formed of the progress of the
colony from the following official return of the value'
of copper exported in 18,10, valued at 75‘. per tou:

The official returns of the total value of the im-
ports of South Australia, for 1850, set down the sum of
1 ti 00.0001., the imports exceeding the exports by
300,000!. Mr. Lipson, the son of an old and res-
pected colonist, had been found guilty of appmpria-
ting government money, and sentenced to six
months hard labour. Great preparations were in
progress to celebrate the " old colonists' festival,"
which was expected to throw into the shade any
previous demonstration in South Australia. Mr.
Fisher was to act as chairman owing to the ill-health
of Mr. John Morphett. The Roman catholic com-
munity was about to erect a cathedral near Victoria-
square. The anti-convict agitation continued un-
abated; upwards of 3,000 signatures had been
affixed to each of the petitions to parliament against
the odious practice, and no stone had been left un-
turned by the local committee to obtain the full ex-
pression of the opinions of the adult population on
this all engrossing subject. The approaching elec-
tions had supplied sufficient excitement to the colo-
nists, and absorbed nearly everything else. The can-
didate list swelled each day, although at one time it
was seriously thought there would be some difficulty
in getting sixteen men, able and willing to represent
their fellow-colonists in council. Without enumera-
ting the names, or entering on the merits of the va-
rious candidates, it may be observed that one very
peculiar feature marks the incipient contest, that
though the state grant to religion is considered the
grand point of disagreement, its opponents make it
a positive test, while its supporters adopt a different
course. From a statement of the quarter's revenue
ending December 31st, 1850, the total receipts are
set down at 36,0281., and the gross expenditure at
49,7471.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 25.

Toe Scotch protectionists marshal forth an inter-
minable array of arguments and figures for the en-
couragement and mystification of their blind friends,
who open their mouths and swallow what their own
politicians give them. A more extravagant tissue
of falsehoods, assumptions, sophisms, and absurdities
than these of the Edinburgh banquet was certainly
never woven. And it betokens sod contempt for the
intellect of the audience they addressed, that the
actors of that banquet did not feel the necessity of
at least fairer arguments. There is much that might
be said for protection that would sink into the hearts
and convictions of freetraders ; but the reckless and
unblushing effrontery, which flings a palpable lie, or
an unblushing I,llsilicution of figures at one, under
the pretence of producing conviction, gives rise to
feelings of anger and contempt.
Ilow can a rational man seriously sit down to re-
fute such ro-hushed nonsense as I.ord EGIANToN's
fears of our dependence on foreigners fur food, and
especially on France, when that country is known
to have sent us a large supply in the yearn of war
and in the midst of the European blockade? Or is
it worth pausing to consider Sir EDWARD
betwktes marvellous discovery thut the ruin
of Athens was owing to her importing foal?
Why, Athens could never have been anything
but a village, nor Attica aught but a desert, had
they not imported food. The very source and reason
of the greatness of Athens was the barrenness of its
territory, which would not produce corn, and com-
pelled the Athenians, from the very first, to seek their
livelihood and their prosperity on the sea in trade,and
at home in industry. They wanted corn, and their
country would not produce it in sufficient abun-
dance ; and thereupon they set about producing equi-
valetas wherewith to purchase food. This enriched
Athens --this increased its population—this swelled
it from a village to a city. 'lids gave Athens an
agriculture--by gathering wealth to expend upon
its barren soil. It was the wealth that was earned

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal West India mail packet Thames, Capt.
G. Abbott, from the West Indies, &c., arrived at
Southampton this morning, and landed her mails
under the charge of Lieut. T. Strovcr, R.N., Admi-
ralty agent. Her dates arc: Havannah, March 26 ;

GERMANY.

Austrian semi-official organs, says the Cblogne
Gazette, affirm that Prussia and her confederates will
bo exempted, on re-entering the Diet, from acknow-
ledging the acts of that body passed whilst they re-
fused to join or to recognise it.
Vienna dates of the 20th announce the ap-
pointment of Prince Schwarzenberg to the Gover-
norship of Transylvania, rice General Wohlgemuth,
deceased. _ . -

Our correspondent writes as follows :
BERLIN, Aram 22.
Baron Manteuffel has returned from the country,
and the ministerial machine has again been put in
motion. The prime minister had an audience with
the King this morning, and this evening a sitting
of the cabinet is to take place, at which the ambassa-
dor for Prussia to the Diet will probably be selected.
Meanwhile the organ of the -Tanker party con-
tinues its short but sharp paragraphs, impres-
sing on the government that they must appoint one
from out of their ranks, upon whom they and the
government can count in the time of need. Re-
port says that Herr von Bismark, who has seen no
diplomatic or any other service, is desirous of being
appointed, but the anstitutionelk of this evening
says that the talented Professor Stahl, of the same
party, has been put in nomination.
The Kreuz Zeiteeng, speaking of the last Austrian
note, repeats that the Austrian despatch is of a very
friendly character, and that it contains some new
propositions respecting the admission of the Austrian
provinces. From the tenor of the mystically-worded
notice it would appear that Austria designs to with-
draw a part of her proposal, and that only a portion
of her non-German provinces are now proposed to
be incorporated with the confederation. The first and
second commission of the ministerial conferences
at Dresden have held a very long sitting, in
which most probably the manner of terminating the
conferences was discussed. It is not anticipated that
any other result will be obtained than the agreement

to establish a military executive, with a standing
army of 133,000 men.

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter of the 19th save : " Active exer-
tions are being made at the ministry of finance to
prepare the budget of 1852, which is to be presented
to the new Chamber in June next. In virtue of an
arrangement, which has been favourably received by
the public, from the Ist July next the charge for the
collection of the territorial contributions will be re-
duced from 4 per cent. to 3 per cent."

Letters from Rome, of the 12th, in the Milan

with the concordat between Spain and Rome, which
only awaits the signature of his Holiness in order to
be definitively ratified.

M. Nigra's separation from the cabinet was occa-
sioned by a difference with his colleagues on the
time being opportune for contracting a new loan. It
is reported that M. Galvagno will pass from the In-
terior to the Ministry of Justice. The i)uke and
Duchess of Aumale are here on their way to Naples.

She left New York June 14th, at four p.m. She

NEW YORK, JrNit 14.

Since my last I have had nothing of great importance to
communicate. In a few days the steamer North America
will sail from this port to Galway, with a number of pas-
sengers, on an experimental trip. She is by no means one
of our first-class steamers, and is said to have been origi-
nally intended for the Long Island Sound travel.
Tho legislature of this state is now in session, an extra
one, called by the governor to consider the subject of the
proposed nine million loin to enlarge the Erie Canal. I
have already expressed my opinions on this subject.

•
The question raised at the elections was, shall the canal be
enlarged ; and in this view of it whigs and democrats along
the line of the canal acted together. The true issue was
shall we violate the constitution to enlarge the canal imme-
diately or enlarge it gradually, according to our means and
according to law.
It is understood, however, that the attorney-general of

the state is determined to test the constitutionality of the
bill.

I have no news of the slightest importance to communi-
cate from the West Indies or South America, and shall not
have till the next steamer arrives from Chagres. Two
steamers sailed for that port yesterday full of passengers.
Our domestic gossip is not without interest. The Webb
and Willis affair is yet involved in mystery. Webb has at
last, under the stringency of court rules, offered to deliver
certain letters up, hut it is doubtful whether this offer will
save him from a fine and reprimand. No one can tell where
the truth lies at present.
It is now ascertained that gold in considerable quantities
exists in the state of Maine, but the labour of getting it is
scarcely compensated by the gain.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Dauntless frigate, Capt. Halsted, arrived this
morning at Spithead, with dates from Lisbon to the
23rd inst., and having the Prince of Saxe Coburg,
brother to H.R.H. Prince Albert on board. All was
quiet at Lisbon. The Cortes are appointed to meet
on the 18th of November. Many of the recently
elected representatives, functionaries, arc charged
with the commission of crimes and misdemeanours,

one of whom, in the district of Coimbra, is under
suspicion of assuming office by conniving at an act of
sanguinary violence.
Under the new electoral law 47 colleges arc now
to give 159 deputies, instead of 143 deputies from 26
colleges, according to Thomar's election of 1842 ;
1M from 36 circles, under Palmella's direct system of
1846 ; and 133 from 28 colleges included in the pro-
ject of law which was before the House of Peers
when Saldanha went out with the troops on the Bth
of April last. The Septembrista arc well pleased
with the new law, but those implicated in Saldanha's
movement are discontented, and Silvs Cabral's organ,
the Estandarte, increases its attacks upon the
government, although it does not yet abandon the
Duke. _ _
