stands indicted with embezzling various sums of money, the
property of his employers, Messrs. Wilson, of Whiteahapel.
The facts were totally devoid of public interest.

already returned against the eight seamen, formerly to
the vessel called the Flowery Land, this morning brought
in a true bill against the whole of the prisoners for wilfully
scuttling the ship.

realised high rates.

alteration in prices.

The Journal tie Bruxelles, the Catholic organ,
anr ounces that M. Rogier has been received by
the King, and has had a long conference with his
majeoty. MM. Be Thetis, and Dechamp, being
applied to by the King, have definitively declined
the offer of power under present circumstances.
The same paper states the position of the crisis
as follows

" MM, De Brouchere and Pirmez, representa-
tivesof the Left, and commanding a majority, have
refused the mission which was offered them. MM.
Dechamp and De Theux have been unable to accept
the task of forming a Cabinet, because they
did not feel disposed to accept the responsibility of
a situation which they had not created, and because
they had not a majority, and would therefore have
been compelled to dissolve the Chamber, which
might still be avoided. Intermediate Ministers
were alone possible, owing to the Parliamentary
situation, and the state of opinion. These com-
binations have failed. After MM. Brouchere and
Kruez, M. Nathomb, the Belgian Minister at Ber-
lin, has also refused. MM. Laider and Dubois and
M. Thorn have refused. The Conservative right
has refused. There remains nothing but the com-
bination of the Prince du Ligne and the retention
of the Cabinet which has resigned.

The Journal de Bruxelles further announces that
M. Rajier has received the grand cordon of the
Leopold order.
