Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates
were received this morning. The following extracts
from them embody all the news they contain of any
interest :

BRUSSELS, DEC. I.—The King, who left Liege yes-
terddy afternoon at half past one o'clock, arrived at five,
by a special train, at the station of the railway at Brus-
sels, whence he immediately proceeded in his carriage to
Laeken.

The Duke of Saxe Cobourg-Gotha has conferred the
insignia of the order of his family on Dr. Reiken, his
Majesty's physician.

BRUSSELi. DEC. 3.—On Sunday the King presided
in the Council of Ministers. Count Le Hon, Belgian
Ambassador at Paris, arrived at Brussels two days ago.
The new Legation of Belgium at Rome was received
on the 15th by the Pope with peculiar marks of regard.
His Highness conversed with Count d'Oultremont for
above an hour.

VIENNA, Nov. 25.—The last accounts from Con-
stantinople and Alexandria scarcely leave a doubt of
the speedy conclusion of an amicable arrangement be-
tween the Porte and Mehemet Ali. It is even said
that the Porte has made a confidential communication
to this effect to the representatives of the Five Powers.
There are different statements of the basis of
this arrangement, One says that Mehemet Ali
on being secured in the hereditary possession of Egypt,
Syria, and Arabia, would renounce Candia, the districts
of Taurus and Adana, and that the Porte will be satis-
fied to make these concessions. As soon as they are
announced at Alexandria the Turkish fleet is immedi-
ately to sail for Constantinople. Others say that Me-
hemet requires the government of Adana for life for
one of his sons, who has no share in the hereditary pos-
sessions of Egypt, &c., but Candia not to revert to
the Porte till after Mehemet Ali's death.
TRIESTE, Nov. 24.—The Archduke John steam-
boat has arrived from Syria, but as the letters will not
be delivered till tomorrow I can only tell you that the
passengers say the Turkish fleet was still at anchor at
Alexandria when the French steamer left, on the 7th,
without any indication whatever that it would sail, and
that it was generally believed that an amicable arrange-
ment between the Porte and Mehemet Ali was certain.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—ThIS morning, at ten
o'clock, an inquest was held at the University College
Hospital, before Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., the
Coroner, on view of the body of Miss Frances Hatton,
aged twenty-two years, who came by her death under
the following circumstances :--Mrs. Elizabeth Cox, of
No. 31, Ossulston-street, Somers-town, stated that the
deceased, with her mother, a widow lady, occupied apart-
ments in her house. On the morning of Saturday fort-
night witness heard shrieks proceeding from the front
parlour, and on running up stairs found the deceased
standing in the passage, with her clothes on fire ; they
were burninc, from the lower part upwards, and the
flames reached' about two feet over her head. She was
dreadfully burned, and died yesterday in the Hospital.
Verdict—Accidental death. [At this inquest the Re-
porters had another impediment thrown in their way in
the discharge of their duty, by the Coroner refusing to
allow them to write at the inquest table.]
REMARKABLE OPERATION.—LateIy at Stey-
ning, an old lady, now 83 years of age, performed the
operation of shaving, without the aid of spectacles, on
four men, one of them older than herself, and the other
three between 60 and 70. The operatrix, it should be
added, for 20 years or more conducted the shaving
business of Steyning and its neighbourhood, but had not
renewed her art till the above occasion. The old lady
did the job admirably, her hand being firm, quick, and
steady, and her eyesight perfect.
A SPIRIT-STIRRING SCENE.—Over two hun-
dred of the " finest pisantry" broke up from their
winter cantonments in the neighbourhood of Loop-
head, along that portion of the western coast of Clare,
and sailed for Limerick on Friday, to enjoy a glimpse of
the Rev. Mr. Mathew, of anti whisky drinking cele-
brity, who preached in that city on Sunday last. Many
of the " Great Westerns" made the best, or rather
worst use of their time before they left per steamer for
the " city of violated treaty ;" and yet, as Pat expresses
it, " as drunk as Bannalanna !" So that what be-
tween the shouting of some, and expostulations of
others, wives scolding, children screaming, and Steam
Company's agent remonstrating, together with an occa-
sional " Ilurroo for Father Mathew !" it was what Jo-
nathan would call " A dreadful, pretty, tarnation,
amusing spree, it was."
SPANISH REFUGEES.—A deputation from
body of Carlist Spanish refugees, at
present residing at
a public house in Chelsea, waited on Wednesday upon
Sir J. S. Lillie and Mr. Barlow,Magistrates of Kens-
ington, to represent their distressed condition. It ap-
peared that for some time past they had been supported
by the donations of the charitable, but were anxious to
raise means for getting to France or Italy. They were
accompanied by an interpreter. As a proof of their
distress it was stated that they were living upon 4d. per
day each, and that recently they had killed a cat and
eaten it. The Magistrates recommended an applica-
tion to Lord Palmerston. After a great deal of con-
versation between Sir J. S. Lillie and the deputation,
during which the worthy Magistrate recognised the in-
terpreter as having been the banker of Don Carlos,
Sir J. S. Lillie and Mr. Barlow each gave the unfortu-
nate men a sovereign for their present exigencies, and
directed them to apply the next day to the Board of
Guardians of the Kensington Union for assistance, until
the result of the application to Lord Palmerston is
known
