We have received the Antwerp Journal o yesterday's
date, which informs us in a postscript to the Messager of
Ghent, that a traveller had arrived from Bruges in the af-
ternoon bringing the unfavourable news that a great fire
took place in the above town ; the church of St. Saveur
and several hotuies near it were consumed.

A New Orleans Paper says, we learn from good au-
thority, that the conversion of the Mexican debt, amount-
ing to upwards of 50,000.000 dollars, effected about two
years ago by F. de Lizardi, Sic. of London, has at length
been ratified by the Mexican Government, and forwarded
to England by the last Eogli,h packet knot yet arrived)
from Vera Cruz.

This, among other advantages, secures the Bond•Lolders

one sixth of the whole duties collected in the ports of
Vera Cruz and Tampico, in payment of the interest on
the new bonds. Business continues very dull at New
Orleans, owing to the very gloomy state of monetary
matters, and there is but little prospect of improvement in
the balance of the season.

AYLESBURY.—In the article which we copied from
the Mo, ring Chronicle of Saturday, Lord Nugent
throws doubt upon the chance of success for
Mr. Cavendish ; but we repeat, from the very best
authority, that Mr. Cavendish had every prospect of
succeeding in the contest. Lord Nugent has played
the Tory game—whether designedly or not, time and
his own future conduct will show ; but if he
either abandons the Reformers of Aylesbury, by
running away from the fight he has himself
rushed into, or proves his weakness by an inconsiderable
poll, he will not free himself from the imputations
such a result would cause to be thrown upon him. At
the last Buckinghamshire election, Lord Nugent voted
for a Tory ; will he deny that ? Previous to going
down to Aylesbury to start for the borough this
election, did not Lord Nugent hold communi-
' cation with the Duke of Buckingham ? Did
he not, in short, go to the Duke's house,
and inform him of his intention to start against Mr.
Cavendish ? Will Lord Nugent deny this ? It is too
much the custom to disregard public in mere personal
considerations, and Lord Nugent appears to have fallen
into this error most completely. We trust that the
Reformers of Aylesbury will do their duty on this
occasion, and if Lord Nugent neglects their interests,
that they themselves will defend them.

WOODEN PAVEMENTS.—It is said that a
French Nobleman has discovered a plan which promises to
realise the greatest advantages as applicable to paving.
Wood pavement can by this new system be constructed in
such a manner as to present any surface of one solid corn.
pact body. It is also the cheapest and most lasting mode
of constructing pavement, and has none of the disad.
vantages of the exiting system ; it cannot sink under its
original
level, and no shock or pressure can shake or dis-
vl'oaclinggtia::las any portion of it It is neither dusty in dry nor
• muddy in wei weath-r-

GENERAL CONVENTION.
(THIS DAY.)

The Convention met at the usual hour, Mr. CARPENTER
in the Chair.

Mr. SMART, the Secretary pro tern., read letters from
Carlisle and several other places, announcing contributions
to the national rent and the defence fund. A letter from
the " Union of French Democrats in London" was also
read, expressing their sympathy in the movement -now
going on ►n this country to obtain social equality.
A letter from Mr. Frost, dated Bristol, July 18, was
read, stating that he had attended a meeting at that place, and
hc.did not think that the working classes would at present
obey the orders of the Convention for keeping the sacred
month. He therefore suggested the propriety of a few
members being sent into Wales to agitate on that subject,
and had no doubt it would be attended with beneficial
results.

Mr. Duncan, Mr. Hartwell, Mr. Hetherington, Mr.
Burns, and Mr. O'Brien paid to the Treasurer several
subscrip'ions which had been placed in their hands.
Mr. HETHERINGTON brought up an address to the middle
classes, which had been agreed to by the Committee ap-
pointed for that purpose. It was read at length by the
Secretary.

saTolitldetzeption of the Address having been moved and

Mr. BRONTERMS O'BKIEN said he could not sanction

the address, because he believed the middle classes to be
more deadly enemies to the working classes than the ruis-
tocracy were. Men of this kind he would never address
except in the language of reprobation. The Convention
ought not to conciliate them. It was their duty to conci-
liate the Convention after having robbed the working
classes of their rights.
Dr. FLETCHER was of the same opinion, but he conceived
that it was possible to- draw over a portion of the middle
classes, and that was the reason why he had concurred in
the address.

The Report was then ordered to be received.

Mr. HETHERINGTON Moved, seconded by Mr. JAMES
TAYLOR, that copies of the address be forwarded to the
Editors of the different papers.
Dr. M'DocALL suggested that before the address was
ordered to be printed a copy be placed in the hands of each
member, in order that they might make such amendments
as they thought necessary, and moved an amendment to
that effect.

Mr. DEEGAN thought that each member should be fur-
nished with a copy in the first instance, and therefore
seconded the amendment.

Mr. BURNS was in favour of the publication of the ad-
dress.

Dr. TAYLOR had no great confidence in the middle
classes generally, but be thought such an address would be
of considerable value in the northern parts of the country,
and he should support the issuing of it immediately.
The original motion was agreed to by a majority of 20
to 4.

An adjournment for lialf.an.hour then took place, in
order to allow the Defence Committee to meet.
