BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 27.—The Prince of LEININGEN,
who was sent on an extraordinary embassy to the
Emperor of AUSTRIA, was received by his MAJESTY
in a private audience. He had the honour of sub-
mitting a private letter from his SOVEREIGN contain-
ing a protest against the decree of confiscation issued
by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, in so far
as that decree attacks the property which comprised
the marriage portion of the late Queen of the BEL-
GIANS, and demanding the intervention of the Eat.
F Er.ott. We have not heard the result of his High-
ness's interview with the Emraitou ; but when he
went to pay a visit to Prince SCHWARZENBERG (the
Ministerial President), the latter informed him that
there was nothing to fear for that part of the pro-
perty of the Orleans family. It is likewise asserted
that a positive assurance has been received here from
Paris, that the Commission of Jurist nominated by
the PRESIDENT of the Republic to examine the appli-
cation of the decree of confiscation has decided so far
that regard should be had to the pretensions resulting
from marriage contracts. (This fact is very much
doubted by the Prussian papers).
Oar Governtnent bas made a contract with CAR..
MICHAEL, BRITT, MURRELL, and Co., for laying
down a submarine telegraph between Ostend and
London. The works are to be completed in a very
short space of time.

at rather lower prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 375. 10d. per
quarter. The last week's sales were 105,430 quarters.
The principal articles of consumption have this week
been in request, and the prices are tolerably well main-
tained. Sugar has been more freely taken, and at very
full prices. Coffee has remained rather quiet. Cotto❑
looks up, but the sales are restricted. In Tea
and Tallow very little has been done. Rum is
dearer. Cochineal rose early in the week, but has since
lost the advance, being ld. to 2d. per lb. lower. The

MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCfi AN GE.—(FRIDAY') tit
The total supply of English Wheat received up le °;0
market this week, coastwise, has been confined to 1,2.7
quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, and in very 1.
(fling condition. The receipts fresh up today, bY la of
carriage, were trifling ; hence the show of samples
both red and white were very small. Owing to the Pre;
heat
veiling xie
heavy rains, the millers purchased with e
caution ; nevertheless, the trade for home-grown Whea
was firm, at fully Monday's advance in the quotationis.
For forward delivery there was more inquiry.
400 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand since 473
Saturday. We were very scantily supplied with 11-0 d
dry parcels, the value of which was considered t
turn in favour of the merchants. Low Pi.
middling kinds ruled steady, at full priers.
Floating cargoes were in improved request. The arrt7
vals off Falmouth are small. The supply of Barley weili
limited. For all kinds we had a good demand, find bt
grinding and distilling sorts were held for more nien`';
No change took place in Malt, the supply of which we,
but moderate. The Oat trade ruled steady, and die
parcels realized 6d advance. Beans and Peas nif
quite as dear. Indian Corn and Flour produced
the late improvement. The top price of English Flog'
was 43s per 2801bs.

solution.

BRITISH. AUSTRALIAN GOLD MINING
COMPANY.
The London Committee of this undertaking having ascertained
from the various estimates furnished them that one half of the pro-
posed capital of 200,0001. wilt amply suffice for its present prosecu-
tion—lt was resolved, in pursuance of the power for that purpose
contained in the bye-laws of the Company, to limit the issue of
shares accordingly.
In pursuance of that resolution 100,000 shares only have been al-
lotted, and the corresponding amount of capital has been fully
paid up.
The remaining shares will not be issued until after the General
Meeting of Shareholders in the month of June, 1853 ; should the
extended operations of the Company then render it desirable to
raise additional capital, such further issue of shares will be made as
may be resolved upoa by the shareholders, who will then be entitled
to the option of taking at par value a proportionate number of such
issue to that which they may hold at that period.
An agent of the Company left England for Sydney by the
Roman Emperor to-day, and it is anticipated that the complete stall,
with the necessary machinery, will be ready to sail by the end of
the month of February.
The bankers' receipts are now being exchanged for certificates of
shares. The Company being exotnpt from the operation of the
Joint-Stock Companies' Registration Acts, no deed or other docu-
ment is required to be signed by the shareholders, and no further
liabdity beyond the amount already paid up can be incurred.

A TEXAN COLONEL'S STOILY.

" No, my iriend," said the colonel to his grave
companion , " no, it is entirely impossible for one
nursed, as you have evidently been, in the lap of
luxury—perhaps even in a coiled and framed house
—to know what we suffered here in '36. I'll
just tell you exactly bow it was with me, and I
have seen nothing—oh nothihg at all—to what
some have! You see, I was there, in Sabine
county—had a little cabin in the woods away from
town some dozen miles. I had 100 cows, 20 mares,
17 fillies, and a wife and three children, but not a
dollar in the world. However, I was a lawyer, and
had engaged to defend a man for cowstealing at court
in town next day, for which I was to get two bushels
of meal ! You see, my clothes had well nigh worn
out, and I swapped with a Bedi Indian for a suit
of deerskin. Did you ever see a real suit of deerskin,
stranger?" " Well, I have—felt it too." " You
see, the Indian told me to dye it in dogwood ooze. I
did so, you know—left them in all night. Next
morning I was up early and off for court, for I
needed that meal—didn't have anything in the house
at all. My deerskin suit fitted well, had tassels
round the calves and skirts. Well, I rode out
of the mot of timber in which my cabin was built,
on to the prairie that stretched the rest of the
way to town ; as the sun got hotter, the wet
skin—you see, I had to put it on wet, for I
must be at court—had to have that meal—the wet
skin began to get tight ! Pshaw, it don't mind,'
says I; but in twenty minutes, pshaw, it did mind !
Got off the mare, out there in that broad prairie,
with the roasting, broiling, burning sun right over
my head, and my clothes creeping up and coil-
ing tight around me like a nest of snakes. My
arms were fastened so by the sleeves that 1
couldn't get my knife to rip anything. My hair
stood on the end like the thorns of a bois d'art.
0 the misery, the suffering, the agony ! My
whole body was bound up and screwed together
and strangled. Blood rushed to my head—couldn't
get on my horse. Well, I lay there in the blistering
sun till somebody going to court happened to pass,
and ripped me up. He cut me in two or three places,
he was shaking so with laughter while he did it.
Well, you see, I rode back home—took the last sheet
in the house—cut it out—wife sowed on one leg
while I sowed up the other—got to court just in
time with my white suit—cleared the man, and got
the meal !"—American Paper.

CONTRACT for PIG IRON
Department of the Storekeeler General of the Navy,
Somerset-place, January fc9, 1652.
The Commissioners fbr executing tte Ofliec,‘ of Lord High Admiral

Ithe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do hereby give
notice, that on TUESDAY, the 10th February next, at One o'clock,
they will be ready to treat with such persons as may ha wilting to
contract for supplying her Majesty's Dockyards at Woolwich and
Portsmouth with
London, England, 1852-01-30

state that it was found impossible to bring her before
the Court unt 1 this morning.
In answer to Mr. TYRWHITT, she stated that she hid
been in a good situation near Russell-square, and had
been led to commit suicide in consequence of another
servant inducing her, two nights since, to go out with
her for a walk, and on returning later than she had in-
tended to the house, she fou❑d the doors locked, and she
was in consequence compelled to walk the streets. Feel-
ing the disgrace of having stopped out all night she had
determined to put an end to her existence.
The prisoner's sister here stepped forward and said
she had hitherto borne an unimpeachable character,
having been in the situation which she had just left for
the last five years. With the magistrate's permission,
she and her husband would undertake to look after her
for the future.
Mr. TYRWHITT, in a most kind and feeling manner,
commented upon the rash act which she had attempted
to commit, and said it was as great a sin ti commit
suicide as it was to commit murder. He hoped that her
master would take her back again and restore her to her
former situation. Her friends having promised to look
after her, he should, under the circumstances, hand her
over to them, hoping that she would not do the like
again.

assignees, and by Iris order the defendants banded it
over to the purchre;er. The plaintiffs contended that
the property was vetted in them, and that the de-
fendants had no right to deliver it to any one except
by their express directions. It was admitted that the de-
fendants had neither notice of the fiat nor of the act
of bankruptcy. The Court entertained no doubt what-
ever as to the goods being those of the assignees, but
they thought the defendants were protected by the 84th
section of 6 Geo. IV., c. 16, which said that no person,
body, corporate, or public company, having in their pos-
session any goods belonging to a bankrupt, should. be
endangered by their delivery to the bankrupt, provided
they had not at the time any notice of the act of bank-
ruptcy. It was argued that the operation of that section
was confined to the period before the issuing of the
commission, until which time the goods properly be-
longed to the bankrupt; but the Court did not think t.hrt
was a proper construction of the section. Its real object
was to protect whurfingers, dock companies, and other
public bodies against losses when the delivery of goods
to the wrong party was owing to no fault of their owls.
The point as to the notice of the fiat being ipso facto is
notice to the whole world of the party's bankruptcy, the
Court coesiderk d was not teneble. On these grounds
the judgment would be for the defendants.

Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from Oxford-
shire against the Maynooth grant.
Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition praying for the

ADMISSION OF JEWS INTO PARLIAMENT.
Mr. REYNOLDS wished to ask the Chancellor of
th© Exchequer if it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to introduce a Bill, during the present
session of Parliament, to alter or modify the oaths now
required by law to bo taken by Members of that House,
in such a manner as to allow persons of all religious
persuasions, elected Members of that House, to be sworn
at the table of the House in the manner and form most
binding on their consciences?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was not the intention of the Government to introduce,
during the present session, any Bill to alter the oaths
alluded to.

THE DIVISION YESTERDAY.
Captain ARCLIDALL complained of the manner in
which a number of Hon. Members had been shut
out from the division yesterday. He and other Hon. Mem-
bers were in the library when the division bell rang, but
when they got near the immediate approach to the House
the way was so blocked up with strangers that they
could not get to the door until after it had been closed
for the division.—(Hear, hear.) They might have put
their shoulders to the door, but such a course would have
been a breach of order and decorum.—(A laugh.)
Mr. GRATTAN said he went into the wrong lobby
by mistake, but when he found his mistake out he was
not so nice as the Hon. and Gallant Member, for he did
put his shoulder to the door, and ultimately succeeded in
getting into the right lobby.
The SPEAKER said less time was taken up yester-
day in putting the question than usual, owing to the near
approach of six o'clock, when the House must of neces-
sity have adjourned.
The subject then dropped.
