Liege Col. Ysbrand de Lendrech.
Luxemburg Bazon.
Namur Mertens.
Hainaut Brig. Gen. Duval de Blargnics.
General de Tabor will retain for the present the com-
mand of the province of Antwerp.
In the absence of General Worthier, President of the
Commission of Inyait s, General Niellon will command the
first division of Infantry.
This new division of the army annuls the old formation
into corps, and restores all the officers attached to the late
head-quarters to their preceding functions.
The Minister of War reminds the Generals and inferior
officers of the army of the necessity of immediately re-.
storing the most strict discipline, and of employing the
repo.e which the army momentarily enjoys, in attending
to the instruction of the officers and subalterns under their
command, which the circumstances in which the army
has been placed, since its formation, have caused to be
neglected, but to which it is absolutely necessat V to give a
new impulse. Another order of the day, on the ground
of the necessity of forwarding, without delay, the orga-
niz ition of the army, and of effectually providing for the
instruction of the several corps in which the co-
operation of all the officers, and their preeence with
their corps are indisoensible, strictly forbids all Ge-
n, ral and superior officers from quitting their posts or
functions, but in eases of paramount necessity, or on ac
count of illness. Nor are they to give leave of absence, ex-.
cept in eases of extreme necessity, for which they must an-
swer to the War Department, to which they are to make
their report immediately.
LUXEMEURG.—Distriet of Luxemburg. The elec-
tions for the district of Luxemburg took place on the 29th
August. At Mamer, a village about two leagues front
the city of Luxemburg, the number of electors inscribed
in the lists was 1,100 ; only 303 appeared to vote. Among
1,100 electors inscribed there was not a single inhabi-
tant of the fortress ; only the inhabitants of the country
were therefore called on to vote. Their choice of a junta
.ehows their good sense. Of 303 votes, 2'75 were for M.
Thore, our Governor ; 26 for M. Ten ant, formerly Mem-
ber of the States-General ; two votes were null. M.
Thorn was of course declared Senator.

De Berger, Judge of the Tribunal of Arlon, Member
of the National Congress, was chosen Deputy to the
Second Chamber.

We have a file of Trinidad Papers to the 16th
of July. They communicate the following do-
cument, received from the Under Secretary of
State, on the important subject of the changes
contetr plated in the Colonial system :

" Colonial-Office, Downing-street, March 14, 1831.
" have received, and laid before Lord Goderich,
your letter of the 3d inst., containing a letter from Mr. Olar-
ryat, with the copy nf a letter addr. seed by that gentleman,
conveying certain resolutions adopted by v3rious persons in
Trinidad, at a meeting at which Mr. Burnby acted as
Chairman. _

"I am directed by Lord Godericti to apprise you, and
you will be at liberty to communicate the information to
any other persons who may be interested in the subject,
that arrangements are in progress and will probably be
completed within a very short time, for carrying into effect
the greater part of those changes which appear to be neces-
sary in the political and judicial constitution of Trinidad.
It is intended to create a Council of Government, selected
partly from the public officers and partly from the prin-
cipal proprietors of the colony. To the Governor, acting
with the advice of that Council, will be given authority to
make all necessary laws. It will be required that the ac-
counts of the revenue and expenditure should be published
once in each half year for general information.
" A re-publication of all the laws of the colony will he
among the first duties of the Governor, and the Courts of
Audience and Appeal will be abolished. The number of
Judges in the Court of First Instance will be reduced, and
that Tribunal will 1 enceforth be holden by professional
Judges only in civil cases, and by professional Judges and
Assessors in criminal cases. The office of Father-General
of Minors and Defender of the Absent will be abolished,
and probably the office of Depositario.General. The Judges
will he remunerated exclusively by salaries ; they will re-
ceive no fees, nor exercise any patronage over the officers
of their Courts.
" It will be among the first duties of the Judges to
establish such rules of precedence as may most effectually
abridge the delay, and such table of fres as may properly
diminish the expense of litigation.
‘‘ Various amendments of the general laws of the island
will be recommended to the early attention of the Governor
in Council.

" I am informed by the officers of this department that
the instruments for giving effict to these changes are al-
ready in such forwardness that it may reasonably be ex-
pected that all the necessary official forms will be completed
before the end of the present month.

" To H. Short, Esq."

A meeting of the Magistrates, in the com-
mission of the peace, took place this morning
at the Home-office, for the purpose of making
arrangements for to-morrow. The whole of the
police force will be on duty on the occasion.

Sir ROBERT WALPOLE was in the habit of
having a note-taker concealed behind a door during the
time when he gave private interviews; all that passed on
these occasions was accurately reported for the Minister.
It is said that Mr. GOULBUAN while in Ireland, where
perhaps it was in some degree necessary, adopted the
same plan.
WILKIE, the celebrated, and, in one depart-
ment, unrivalled art'st, says, in a letter to Sir JOHN SIN-
CLAIR, that his attention was first taken by the coloured
drawing of a soldier in the Highland uniform, with which
he was so delighted, that he was continua 1y drawing copies
of it, till at last he became a painter.
since the late change of Ministry, there has
been a very important improvement made in the cor-
respondence of the Admiralty-office. It is now con-
ducted in a business-like manner. A naval officer, who
resides in Edinburgh, has lately had a correspondence with
the office, and he has on three successive occasions had his
letters answered by return of post. Formerly his letters
lay unanswered for 10 or lb days, and were sometimes not
noticed at all.—Scotsman.

It was computed, some years since, that no
less than 112,000,0001 b. of butter are annually consumed
in London, chiefly made within forty miles round the city.
From the counties of York, Cambridge, and Suffolk, there
are annually sent to the capital '210,000 firkins, amotnit-
ing to 11,700,0001 b.
