BRUSSELS, DUTCH, ANI) CiErtMAN

PAP! R,

BRUSSELS, MAY 15.—The character of the Government
of the Grand Duke of Luxemburg manifests itself more
and more decidedly. A decree of the Grand Duke has
just prohibited M. Bievce, a physician of Luxemburg., from
exercising hiR profession in that city, on pain of being ex-
pelled from it. This measure 1-11,! been adowed towards
M. Biever because he had some differences with the Grand
Ducal administration. Such then is the condition of the
inhabitants of Luxemburg. King William arbitrarily de-
cides their fate ; he pronounces by virtue of his sovereign
authority condemnations agiinst them ; he exercises a more
despotic authority than any Sovereign in Europe, and our
statesmen an eager to deliver us up to so detestable a do-
mination.—Echo.

On Monday and Tuesday snow fill at Arlon as in the
midst of winter.

In the sitting' of Saturday, which may perhaps be the
last of this Session, the Chamber of Representatives voted
in rapid succession four projects of law : at another time a
week would hardly have sufficed for what was done in a
few hours. The Chamber is weary, and the country is
equally so. The Chamber adopted the project of law re-
lative to international reciprocity in respect to inheritance
and donations. The following is the tenor of it :
Art. I. A foreigner is allowed to succeed to the property
which his relative, whether a foreigner or a Belgian, has
left in the kingdom, in the cases and in the manner in
which a Belgian inherits of hi. relations possessing property
in the country to which that foreigner belongs.
Art. 11. A foreigner is entitled to dispose and to re-
ceive by donation inter vines, and by will.
Articles 11, 726, and 912 of the Civil Code are repealed.
Art. 111. This reciprocity must be proved either by the
treaties, concluded between the two countries, or by the
production of laws or Acts which show its existence.
Every enactment contrary to the present law is abro-
gated.
__

Art. IV. The present law shall be in force after its pro-
mulgation.

THE HAGUE, MAY 15.—Her Majesty the Queen se
out yesterday at noon for Berlin.

AMSTERDAM, MAY 16.—A bulletin, dated Berlin, May
13, has been received, which announces that her Royal
Highness the Princess Albert, and the young Prince, are
doing extremely well.

WERLIN, MAY 7.—The grand review of Russian cavalry,
which his Majesty the Emperor intends to take place in his
presence, during his tour to the southern provinces of the
empire, is to be in the environs of Nicolazef, where 200
squadrons will be collected. Then the Emperor will pro-
ceed to Sebastopol, to review the fleets of the Black Sea.
The Imperial Prince is expected at Tobolsk in the course
of the summer.

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MAT 2.—On the 22d April, a
Tartar from Constantinople arrived at Kragosevatz, and
brought to Prince Milosch intelligence from his agent in
the capital, that the Sultan, in pursuance of the plan which
he has entertained for some years, will, in the course of the
month, come to Varna, and then to Silistria. Immediately
on the receipt of this news, which was before looked on as
incredible or impossible, Prince Milosch sent to Bucharest
to Prince Ghika, probably to agree about the presents,
which, in case the Sultan should really come to Silistria,
the two Princes, according to ancient custom, must offer
him. This journey, which, as the Turks say, the Ghiaour
Princes of Bucharest, Jassy, and Kragosevatz must pay
for, excites an incredible sensation on the frontiers ; and
the Turks at Belgrade do not yet believe it. Even before
the receipt of this news, there was a report at Bucharest
of an interview of the Sultan with the Emperor Nicholas ;
and this report is now spread on the frontiers.—Frankfort

CIIIIIICII-RATES.—At a meeting at OsWeStry on
the evening of the 21st ult., in favour of the Ministerial mea-
sure for the abolition of Church-r,.tes, resolutions and petitions
to that effect were agreed to without a dissentient reiet, and
the petitions immediately put in a course of signature.
PASTIMES ON THA StOOK-ExcliANGE.—The
first impression of a attlnaer on entering the Stock-Ex-
change, were ho hot previously otherwise informed, would
naturally be, that instead of beinc, met to transact important
bull:Less, they had assembled fur the express purpose of
having a little fun and frolic together. You not only hear
them uttering alt sorts of sounds, some of which portake a
gaud deal of the zoological character, but yost see a large
proportion of them playing all mennet ur tricks at each other's
expense. One of the most approved of these tricks, if we
are to judge that the extent to which it is practised, is that
of knnnaing one's hat over one's eyes. This pastime, I be-
lieve they call " eclipsing," or " hennetting." if the hat
only goes down so far Pt lot la prevent altogether the use of
one's luniinarie% It Is, I presume, called a partial eclipse ;
but e I.n:t.tt the application of one's hand to the crown of the bat Is
given with such signor es to force it tlltlill over the optics of
the party who chance. en. h at the time the person played
on, it is ealled a total eclipse. How far can it be so called
with propriety, is at last a debateable point ; for I have
been assured by those who have enderenne tilt Somewhat un-
pleasant experiment ef se-sljpsSlng, that if they saw nothing else,
the severit!, and suddenness of " the whack," to use Stock
Kat:hat-14e phraseology, has made them see stars innumerable.
How many crowns of " best beavers" have been so completely
" knocked in," as to render the hats ever afterwards unweat-
able, by means of the proteas of eclipsing, is, I suspect, a
question whieh the tiltelt skilful calculator in the House would
not undertake to decide. The cases from first to last of the
destruction of hats in this way, must be innumerable ; but the
ingenuity of some of the Members has discovered other means
of assisting the hatters, where the eclipsing plan fails of effect.
The Members in question are remarkably expert at knocking
the hats of other Members off their heads altogether, and then
kicking them about the floor until they are shattered to piece's.
So marked indeed are the hat-destroying propensities of some
of the Members, that a stranger would come away with the
impression that they were in the pay of the leading City hat-
manufacturers. Query—Are they so ?—The Great Metro-
polis—Second Series.

. In the month of September last band-hills were sent
from England to this country, offering" a reward of 5001. for
the arrest of a young man named George Francis Burn, clerk
to Mr. Wm. Jackson Taylor, stockbroker in London, who
had absconded, taking with him 4,0001., chiefly in gold, the
property of Mr. Taylor, in the month of August previous.
Half the police officers were on the qui vine for- Burn for a
long time, and they watched every vessel that came from
England with an earnestness proportioned to the reward of-
fered. He was, however, not discovered there, and it was
declared by some knowing ones that he was not to be taken.
They have been most egregiously deceived, much to their cha-
grin, for on Sunday, officers A. M. C. Smith and Gilbert
Hayes arrested the gentleman at his lodgings in the upper
part of the city, and with him the greater portion of the money
which was immediately secured. He was taken to prison, and
the documents concerning his arrest, &c., will be forwarded to
the British Minister at the city of Washington, who will pro-
bably take such measures as will ensure to Mr. Burn a safe
passage back to England, and to the vigilant officers the re-
ward which their ingenuity has merited.—New York Paper.
Few are ignorant of the efforts that have ken made
to reclaim portions of the Solway moss in Dumfries-shire, the
Drummond moss in Stirling-shire, and waste land generally,
unsightly but hccessible, over the whole length and breadth of
Scotland. The spirit of enterprise is everywhere at work, and
even the hills themselves, in place of a dusky summer hue, are
being arrayed in robes of the loveliest green, under the foster-
ing influence and extreme portability of Woe manure.-,-Dutn-
fries Courier.
