BRUSSELS. PAPERS.

Baussns, JULY Latouche, who arrived at
Brussels from Madrid a few days ago, did not brim, a
commercial treaty, as had been reported, Lut only the ra-
tification by the Cabinet at Madrid, of the convention
abolishing the Droits d'Aubainc, which was ratified by the
Belgian Government, when Count Lalaingan, Plenipo-
tentiary at Madrid, was last at Brussels.

importation, and the exportation is prohibited. On Rye,
the import duty is 21f. 50c., and the export duty 25 cen-

LUXXMBURG, JULY 23.—The Belgian and Dutch
Commissioners for tracing the boundary line, met
in the city of Luxemburg on the 20th. The diffe-
rence respecting Martelange manifested itself in
the very first conference, and this question has
acquired great importance from the demands of the
Dutch Commissioners, who claim not only the village of
Martelange, 'but also the territory of the Commune, and
its sections comprising the forest of Martelange, which are
of the extent of many thousand hectares and of great valac.
At Maestricht, too, the Commissioners have not been able
to agree.

cording to the programme published last week.—Journal

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The Gipsy
last Saturday night was to the full as attractive as on her
first appearance. On Fanny Ellsler's first entrance her
foot slipped, and our heroine nearly fell ; she, however, re-
covered herself. Her Cracovicnne obtained the same ap-
plause which attended it on Thursday. In Norma Mario,
and especially Grisi, deserved well. The fine seena in the
first act, where Grisi denounces Pollionc and Adalgisa for
their ill-starred connection, was electrifying. The painter
of antiquity, who wished to convey a powerful idea of in-
tense grief; hid the face of sorrow in a veil, fearful of his
inability to depict the subject adequately ;—in lilac manner
shall we cast the shadow of silence over any attempt to de-
scribe the witchery of Grisi's performance, and content
ourselves with simply saying that we were lost in delight
and wonder. Madame Grisi produced a thrilling effect
upon the audience, and was vehemently encored. Her
sister Ernesta, as. Adalgisa, sang correctly—tastefully
coldly. Lablache was the very personation of what may
be imagined to have been the chief of the Druids ; ho was
in splendid voice, drowning every other sound ; it handa
sul palca, orchestra, and chorus, all were as nothing before
him; he won much and just applause. The opera went
off well. Between the acts and at the close, Grisi being
called for re-appeared, and received the warm plaudits of
the audience.

OPPONENTS TO TIM NEW PENNY POSTAGE.
—lt is the practice for country and other bankers to charge
postage on letters of advice for payment of monies. Sup-
pose a banker at Liverpool has order to make forty or fifty
payments in one day in London, (not a very uncommon
thing), one letter will contain the list, but each party in
the list is charged the postage to London, therefore strong
opposition may be expected through interested parties of
bankers and such like.

MELANCHOLY DEATII OF Two LITTLE
GIRLS, NEAR AMBLESIDE.—On Thursday last, two little
girls, of the names of Ann and Margaret Hetherington,
one aged four and the other six years, were unfortunately
drowned in the.river Stockgill, as they were coming from
school. The day was very wet and stormy, and they were,
as one of them stated, to be met at the road to the house
where they lived, in the township of Loughrigg. They
had, however, missed their road, and been swept away by
the rain. Their mistress, Ann Wilcock, of Ambleside,
did not apprehend any danger, as they continually went
alone. The body of the younger, Ann, was found the
same afternoon in the Rothay ; that of her sister was not
found till Saturday. It had also been washed down into
the Rothay. Inquests were held on Saturday, before R.
Wilson, Esq., and verdicts returned of " Found drowned."

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND COURAGEOUS
CON DUCT. —Ou Monday a young woman of respectable
appearance jumped from the bridge which crosses the Re-
gent's Canal, in the King's-road, Camden-town. Being
observed by a bricklayer's labourer, who was working on a
scaffold in the neighbourhood, he hastened to the spot, and
although unable to swim, plunged into the water, and suc-
ceeded in catching hold of the woman, with whom, after
much struggling, he:gained the bank, which was too steep
for him to climb. With his right hand he clung to the
bank and cried out for assistance, which fortunately
arrived in time to save both parties. The poor fellow's
nails were absolutely torn from his fingers in his endea-
vours to hold on until such time as he was rescued from his
perilous situation.
STATE OF NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.-TUES-
DAY, JULY 23.—The prisoners taken in the riots on Sa-
turday night, and who were yesterday remanded, were
brought up this morning for further examination. Six of
them were placed at the bar, including Browne and Flana-
gan. Such will be, doubtless, the course pursued in reference
to all of the prisonors now in custody ;but after the examine-
oftr e
ilits,
e
tion of witnesses to-day, the prisoners were again remanded,
principally on account of the non-attendance of Leslie,

sessions the charge of assaulting Mr. J. Garnett, ono of

The dispute arose out of the political articles of the respec-

called gentlemanly satisfaction, when called on, was as-
saulted
in the street by the two rival editors and publishers.
TILE CHARGE FOR OBSTRUCTING THE

Thorp, and John Wolstenholme, who had been remanded
from Tuesday, were brought up again at the New Bailey on
Wednesday last, charged with obstructing the York mail

at Barnes Green. A Mr. Thicker stated that he was sent
