BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Ju NE 28.—The average prices of Wheat and
Rye during the fourth week of the month of June (Mon-
day, 19, and Saturday, 14,) were as follows :—Wheat,
16f. 67c. ; Rye, 11 f. 61c. per hectolitre ; impost duties,
3,750 f. 2,150 e. per 1,000 kilogrammes.
A report has been spread in Brussels that a courier who
arrived yesterday had announced the death of the King of
Prussia. We very much doubt the truth of this news ; per-
haps the King of Denmark may be meant, who, we know,
has long been labouring under indisposition.
AUGSBURG, JUNE 25.—1 n the neighbourhood of Wor-
nisinsk (forty leagues from Odessa) a principal town of the
cavalry colonies, the troops under the command of General
de Witt, Inspector-General of all the cavalry colonies, are
to be assembled for a review. They consist of four corps of
cavalry, divided into thirty-two regiments, and subdivided
into three hundred and fifty squadrons, the effective force
being forty thousand men, with one hundred and twenty-
eight pieces of cannon. This great body of troops will per-
form various evolutions in presence of the Emperor, accom-.
panied by the Empress, a part of the diplomatic body and
a brilliant suite.

In order to collect this body of 40,000 cavalry, it is not
necessary to detach any of the cavalry belonging to the
sLveral corps of the army ; now as the Russian army is
divided into seven corps, each of which has a division of
4,400 cavalry, making altogether 30,800 men, and there
are 16,000 cavalry of the Guard to be taken into the ac-
count, the whole of the regular Russian cavalry makes
86,400 ; there are besides 40,000 Cossacks. The propor-
tion of the cavalry in the Russian army is that it amounts
to a seventh part of the infantry ; the latter, therfore, cal-
culating to the amount of the regular cavalry, must be esti-
mated at 500,000 men.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY29.--The principal
sub-
ject of conversation here is the intended journey of the Sultan
to the south of Russia, for the purpose of being present at the
cavalry review, which the Emperor will direct in person. It
is supposed that the present excursion of his Highness was
prompted by a desire of sounding public opinion upon the
projected visit to a foreign country, and that his determination
will be guided by circumstances. In the course of last week
a numerously attended meeting of merchants was held at the
Exchange, when it was resolved that a remonstrance should
be presented to the Sultan with the view of causing measures
to be adopted for putting a stop to the incessant fluctuations in
the money-market, and the miserable state of commerce in
Turkey. The choice of the Commissioners elected, to the
number of eight, gives reason to hope that the above step n ill
lead to the best results. Even now the price of florins, which
had been at 475 pans, has fallen to 460.—A ugsbury Gazette.

Counsellor Tom (winking in a very cunning manner at
a little bandy-legged coachman on his left.)—Please your
honourable Vorship, vot I've got to say is this here :
"iii the middle of the night last Tuesday morning—
(Laughter)—l vos fetched from the rank in Paddington-
street by servant wot told me to go and take up at No.
60, York-terrace ; in course, my Lord, I accordingly goes and
purlitely opens my coach door, vhen in gets Alissus Adol-
phus and three young ladies ; now that ere vos all werry
right and proper, but just I vos agoing for to cut off to 21,
Gower-street, vere Mr. Adolphus lives, the flunky jumps
on the box for to go too. Cum, cum, says I, this here von't
do, for my whehicle an't allowed to take more nor four, so
I gets down and tells the ladies as it would be a wiolation
of the hact, I shouldn't take the servant without extra
pay, ven vot does von of 'em do but tells me they should
get into another coach, vitch they all did, and as to the
shillin for being called from the rank, I couldn't get it ;
and moreover than that, I vos hinformed that I'd better
not persewere, for p'raps I didn't know who I'd got to deal
with. Now, your Vorship, I did know veil all about it,
but vy should a man vot's all fair and square be afeard of
Mr. Adolphus or any von else ?
Mr. HOSKINS—Have you anything more to say ?
Counsellor Tom—l don't think I need say anything else.
I humbly submit its a werry clear case, and, accordin to the
Parlimint hact, I've a right to be paid.
Mr. HosKINs (to Mrs. Adolphus)—What is your answer
to this, Ma'am ? Mrs. Adolphus—Why really, Sir, I don't
know ; I'd rather my daughter would give evidence.
Miss Emily Adolphus was here sworn, and stated that
the party did not alight until the complainant refused to
take them.
Mr. HOSKINS called Crofts, the footman—What did the
coachman say to you ? Footman—He told me that I
couldn't ride, as he was licensed to carry only four, which
number he had got inside.
Mr. Ilosiuss—Did he demand a shilling for being called

from the stand ? Footman—He did, Sir.
Mr. flostittis (To Counsellor Tom)—Was your plate
on the coach at the time ? Counsellor Tom—To be sure
it vos, my Lord ; trust me for that. But I tell you vet,
your Vorship, I've werry often had a good deal of trouble
and bother vith the party, for I've sometimes took up at
York-terrace, as many as six of the family, and arter drop-
ping three on 'cm in Montague-street, and the 'tethers in
Gower-street, I haven't been able to get a mag extra for
my trouble, and ven I've axed Mister Adolphus for summut
more than the rale fare he has only laughed at me, and
told me as how I ought to have made the hobjection at
starting. Vy, it aint long ago since I brought a whole sack
of taturs, besides two or three ladies, in the wehicle, and
then I got nuffen haddishonal.
Mr. HOSKINS was here called on for hearing a second
summons, which had been obtained at the instance of Mr.
Adolphus against " Counsellor Tom," for refusing to carry
his family to his house in Gower-street.

Miss Emily Adolphus stated, that nn the night in ques-
tion the defendant objected to take the party, and that,
owing to his refusal, they got into another coach.
The footman, on being examined, said that defendant
objected to carry him, and the ladies too, unless he had
extra pay for so doing ; he did not refuse to convey the
ladies only.
" Counsellor Tom" was declared by the Magistrate to
have established his claim to the demand of Is. ; which it
was ordered should be paid, together with all the costs, and
the second summons was dismissed.

Tom and his brother jarveys then left the office.

COAL HOLE TAVERN, STRAND.—This old esta-
blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con-
tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night
by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say, evince
the highest gratification from the well conducted and unri-
valled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always
has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of the
choicest quality.

At the Clerkenwell Sessions yesterday the Chairman
observed to Mr. Adolphus that a doubt existed on the bench
as to whether the oaths should be taken in the terms " Our
Sovereign Lady the Queen," or " our liege Lady the Queen."
Mr. Adolphus said he considered the former the proper mode.
The subject put him in mind of a good joke when Queen
Anne came to the throne. A person bad written Anno Do-
mini, when an official exclaimed, " Oh, there is no Anno
Domini now."

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the body of a
woman about thirty-five years of age, whose tattered and filthy
apparel bespoke the utter destitution she bad been brought to,
was discovered in a corner of a cellar in that part of St. Giles's
called the Rookery. The body was removed by the police to
the workhouse, and as some suspicion is entertained that death
resulted from unfair means, a communication on the subject
was immediately sent to the coroner, for the purpose of hold-
ing an inquest.
How TO SECURE AN ELECTION.—When the
day of election approaches, visit your constituents far and
wide. Treat liberally and drink freely, in order to rise in their
estimation, though you fall in your own. True, you may be
called a drunken dog by some of the clean-shirt and silk-
stocking gentry, but the real rough-necks will style you a
j3vial fellow—their votes are certain, and frequently count
double. Do all you can to appear to advantage in the eyes
of the women—that's easily done ; you have but to kiss and
slabber their children, wipe their noses, and pat them on the
head ; this cannot fail to please their mothers, and you may
rely on your business being done in that quarter. " Promise
all that is Asked," said I, and more, if you can think of any
thing. Offer to build a bridge or a church, to divide a county,
to create a batch of new offices, make a turnpike, or any thine-
they like. Promises cost nothing ; therefore deny nobody
who has a vote, or sufficient influence to obtain one. Get up
on all occasions, and sometimes on no occasion at all, and
make long-winded speeches, though composed of nothing else
than wind—talk of your devotion to your country, your mo-
desty and disinterestedness, or any such fanciful subject. Rail
against taxes of all kinds, office-holders, and bad harvest
weather ; and wind up with a fllurish about the heroes who
fought and bled for our liberties in times that tried men's
souls. .If any charity be going forward, be at the top
of it, provided it is to be advertised public ; if not, it isn't
worth your while. . These few directions, if properly
attended to, will do your business ; and when once elected,
l'hY a fig for the dirty children, the promises, the bridges, the
churches, the taxes, the offices, and the subscriptions, for it is
absolutely necessary to forget all these before you can become
a thorough-going politician, and a patriot of the first water.—
Colonel Crockett.
EXECUTION AT GLOUCESTER.—it will be in the
rocolleetion of the public that some weeks since a paragraph
upon this subject, which appeared in a Gloucester journal, was
copied into the London papers, and subsequently brought
under the notice of Parliament by the Duke of Richmond.
An inquiry (with closed doors) was instituted at Glocester,
and the result (contradicting the paragraph in question) re-
ported in the House of Lords by Lord Duncannon. But that in-
quiry has by no means satisfied the inhabitants of Glocester, as
will appear by the following petition, presented on Monday last,
by the Duke of Richmond, who, we understand, was furnished
with documentary evidence in support of the allegations of
the petition ;--" To the Lords spiritual and temporal in Par-
liament assembled, &c.—We, the undersigned inhabitants of
the city of Glocester, having seen that a paragraph, which
appeared in the newspapers some time since, respecting the
disgusting conduct of the hangman at the late execution in
this city, has been contradicted by authority, and being pre-
pared to prove by an ample number of competent witnesses
that the said executioner did on that occasion display a most
disgusting levity of conduct, that he did strike the dead body
with such violence as to cause it to turn round, saying ' Old
chap, you are dead enough,' or some such words, and that
be did address the crowd in a most unbecoming manner,
we most respectfully request that your Lordships will be
pleased to direct such further inquiry into the facts of the
case as may in your Lordships' wisdom seem best calculated
to arrive at the truth, and prevent the recurrence of such re-
volting scenes. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c."
On Friday week, a meeting was held at West Brom-
wich, for the purpose of granting a church-rate ; when an
amendment for adjourning the consideration of a rate for twelve
months was carried. Lord Da. tmouth, ar.d many gentlemen
possessing property i❑ the parish, attended. The meeting
was calculated to consist of upwards of 3,000 parishioners.—
