BRUSSELS, Ben. 23.

The celebration of the nineteenth anniverrary of
the Belgian revolution, commenced early this morn•
log by discharges of artillery. About 1i o'clock the
minimum of painting, sculpture, natural history, and
industry, as well as the armoury, the botanical
ga.dens and other public institution., were thrown
open to the public, and were soon filled to oveifio x-
tog. Later in the day prizes were distributed to the
successful pupils of venous public academies, an-
, fleeted with the fine arts and music, and a grand
public concert was given in the park. At 4 o'clock the
foundation stone of the Cite ampler* or working
men's town, was laid in the Chaussee d' Jnilles, by
the minister of the interior, M. Rogier. A great
number of persons were spectators of the interesting
ceremony.
The great attraction of this night will be the entree,
at 9 p.m., of the numerous singing clubs which bare
been invited to compe'e for the musical prize. They
will be met at the railway station by a host of torch-
bearer., and conducted to the grand place where the
authorities of the ell, standing on an elevated ch-
emise Oatforin, gaily ornamented and brilliantly
illuminated, will re.eive them, and welcome them to

which were frequently renewed on their way to the
palace. After a abort rest, the royal visitors pro-
ceeded to the exhibition of the fine arts, and minutely
examined the excellent paintings deposited tht re, con-

MEETING OF lIOP•PLANTBRS AT WORCESTER.

On Saturday a meeting of the hop-growers of the
Worcester district wee held, for the purpose of adopting
measures with reference to the payment of the hop duty,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer having refined to enter-
tain; the applicatiA of the hop-planters of K-at and Sussex
to postpone the payment of the duty for 1848. The chair
was taken by J. WaLlia, Eq., of Burton. After some
&nitwits°,
Mr. WOODWARD moved that the meeting viewed with
regret the refusal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
accede to the deputation of the Kent planters, and resolved
that a memorial be presented to Sir Citifies Wood, pressing
upon him the raceway of deferring the payment of the first
instalment of duty, usually payable on the 16th October. to a
period not earlier then January, 1860, and that the payment
of the second moiety Is, left to the favourable consideration
of the Chancellor of the Excbens,r.
Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, and mentioned th t
sew Belgian hops had been offered for sale in the Borough
at M. per cwt.
The resolution was carried usanienowly; a committee was
appointed, and after the usual vote of thanks the proceed-
ings terminated.

FINANCIAL RIFUIOI.—A lecture was delivered at
Warrington on Wednesday. by Hr. Prentice, who dwelt it
great length cm the enormous waste of public money in the
army and navy. He urged thou Roeunt, who were able, to
pat themselves in possession of s 40s. freehold, and alluded
to the Birmingham workmen as an example. He was of
opinion that there was a great want of further reforms of the
representative system; but it could not be denied the
many men might obtain the suffrage if they sould only give
themselves the 'edible to pay
allowing their landlords to ply for them ; while there were
thousands and tens of thousands who, by saving eighteen-
pence a week instead of spending it on drink, mizbt h come

AN EXAMPLE FOB THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF
EXETER. —The dean and chapter of Salisbury have resolved
to throw roan tie nave and transept of Salisbury Cathedral
to the public every day between morning and evening ser-
vice. The public will be able to see the interior without
having to fee the verger. Should this meet the eye of Dean
Lows and his reverend fello u, they are eunutly entreated
to read it over carefully, and to meditate thereon. Elder
Cathedral bait been shabbily managed for many a long year,
not, ea we would believe, from premeditated design of the
wetland's, but from negligent inattention to what may have
appeared to their reverences a minor matter of dial. There
was • conamiseloa established to promote a love of art in
the minds of the common people. Prince Albert is at the
head of that commission—he'll be dawn here next year,

SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION OP FORTY-DAY MAIZE
IN HAireentith —Three weeks now, called attention to the
promising progress of the experimental crops of Mr. Keene's
Hybrid in this country; and concurrently with our observa-
tions we were pleased to observe in all the Leedom daily
journals the fact state/ that the patches permitted to be sown
in a metropolitan park by the Usserniseionere of W. ode and

The railway share market has been in a very un-
settled state curing the week, and every line on the
list has been more cr less seriously affected by tie
panic (for we can give give it no other term) ander
which this description of property ham suffered. This
consequence has been variously ascribed to the "bear`
bargains on the Stock Exchange, to the reports cif
'event of the leading companies which have beam
given to the public, and to the falling eir
in the truffle rcurzin, from which it isayeass
that the animal or traffic for the kat
litint
on 5,001 milek of railway "was 238,7721., to
counted fur :-127,1381. for the conveyance of pas-
*togas only, 57,3931. for the carriage of gods, and a
remainder of 54,2411. for passengers and goods,
together, not respectively apport i sired , being
an increase of 7,7001. over the corresponding
week of last year, when the mileage was 4,134.
The average earnings per mile were 481.,
whilst last year they were 551. We do
not iodine to any one of these conclusion', taken
separattly, but are disposed to bereve that their
united influence hes causd the extraordinary and
unrersonable depression which railway shases have
undergone. The falling off in the traffic is very
generally aracrth: d, and w.tb much show of reason, to
the epidemic, which discourages travelling, and in-
duces persona, oho otherwise would seek their usual
recreation abiond, to remain at home. This will be,
we may hnpe, of short duration. As regards
the reports of the South Eastern, and Mr. Hutton's
able summary of the financial condition and prospects
of the Great Western, we confess we cannot discover
any thing so very alarming. On the contrary, now
that the worst is known, there is nothing more to ap-
rthend. The statements of the Scuth Eastern Com-
pany appear c!ear and unequivocal, and are by many
considered fully as favourable, if not more so, than
any of the pre ceiir g ones. Mr. Hotton's statement
of the flea,,nal position of the Great Western is con-
clusive. After anuming the total liabilities of the
company at 10,101,9'271, and taking into account the
interest payable thereon, he says :
To resume. in as few words me possible, the prospects of
the Great Western Railway Company, these calculations
show that in ',emoting the future traffic of the company, on
the lines already opened upon the basis of the amount earned
therein during the past year, the tr. Ilk on the lines to be
opened upon the basis of the actual Bristol and Exeter re-
ceipt*, and on the other hand the working expenses at 42 per
cent., the inten st on the :nor:gaga debt at 6 per cent., and
on a new preference capital to be created at 6 per cent., then
will remain to be divided • sem nearly (qua! to 3 per cent
annually on the present sock. Keeping in view this rate.
ment, it will be a matter of no gloat difficulty to a proprietor
to arrive at something like an approximation of the probable
future condition of their property. Should they deem,under all
the eircumetencee, that the intimates of future traffic used in
three calculati.n e are too low, or that the working expenses
of 42 esr cent, are too high, then their dividend will exceed
3 per cent.
Unless, tun, it can be shown, and we believe it
cannot, that there are sufficient grounds to expect a i
continued falling off in the traffic, then the highest
price at which Great Western shares have been nego-
tiated on the Stick Exchange tc-day, vie., 591., must,
with a dividend of 3 per cent., give an annual interest
of 51. le. M d. per cent. on the investment.
We confess we are not amongst the number who
take a desponding view of all railway. property. On
the contrary, we think that in many instances it is at
present much below its real value, that brigh.er,
times ate in store for the proprietors of railway stcck,
and that those who bring their shares into the market
at the present moment are making • reckless and un-
necessary sacrifice of property.
A bitter spirit has already manifested itself in the
share market to-day, and the current appears to have
set in the other way. Under the influence of a better
fc dine and comparatively few bowl fide salts taking
place, London and North Western, and the Great
Western reap ctively improved 41. per share, and
South Eastern 11. per there. At these advanced
prices the market wax firm at the close of business.
