FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 9.—Yesterday morning several
workmen were occupied in raising the flag-stones
where the murdered bodies of Mdlle. Evenepoel and
the servants had been found. These bloody flag-
stones have been transported to the Hotel de Ville, ,
where they will probably be exposed at the bar as
means for the conviction of the offenders. A report
was current here yesterday afternoon that a person
had been arrested at a goldsmith's, while in the act
of presenting for sale one of the chains belonging to
the unhappy victim; others say that some evil-dis- ,
posed persons have broken into the country house of
M. Evenepoel, at Laken, on account of the indifferent
manner in which the two servants had been buried ;
but these reports are entirely without foundation.
The horrible deed remains enveloped in profound
mystery. Search continues to be made with unex-
ampled activity. The inhabitants of that quarter are
seized with a sort of panic. In the evening the streets
are almost deserted, and all shut themselves up in their
houses. The Observateur, says at the moment of going
to press we are assured that three of the assassins of
Mdlle. Evenepoel have been arrested in Russia.
Some duplicates of the stolen property were found on
them, with passports for England. We are further
assured that they have accomplices, after whom
diligent search is being made.
Another account states that a person who may be
relied upon says that the magistrates had admitted a
young woman into their private room who was mag-
netised ; on placing in her hands a lock of Mdlle.
Evenepoel's hair, she declared that it belonged to a
person who had been assassinated by three persons,
one of whom was a liberated galley slave, and another
a joiner; that the delinquents had possession of the
stolen property, and were going on board a vessel at
Ostend, and were furnished with passports for Eng-
land, but upon their arrival in that city they turned
back, and took a direction to the south or south-west.
Without relying upon the faith of this narrative, the
magistrates nevertheless have sent the officers chiefly
in that direction.
The funeral service for the servants who were as -
sassinated was performed this morning at ten o'clock,
and was far more numerously attended than that of
Mademoiselle Evenepoel yesterday. A large number
of servants belonging to the city were observed among
the crowd. The funeral decorations had remained
almost the same as yesterday. There were three
priests at the altar and three at the reading-desk. In
the choir were the relations of the young women, and
the lover of one of them, as also M. Evenepoel and
another member of the family. We also observed
among the persons present several priests not belong-
ing to the parish.
VIENNA, SEPT. 4.—We are informed that his Ma-
jesty the Emperor has given permission to Baron S.
Von Rothschild -to make an entail for his family in
the Austrian states.
We are happy to state that the disorders at Mann-
haartsberge have been put down, and that the troops
have been ordered home.
The mortality in Galicia continues unabated, and
the disease is so great that the wages of day labourers
have increased to a quadruple amount of what they
received in former years.
PESTII, SEPT. 2.—The festivities in celebration of
the visit of his Imperial Highness the Archduke
Stephen continue, on a general scale. Deputations
from various quarters have presented addresses, and
his Highness is everywhere received by large assem-
blies of people, with every demonstration of respect
and affection. The opening of the railway to Slolnok,
the heart of Hungary, was honoured by the presence
of the Archduke. —Flanders Mail, Sept. 11.

THE REV. MR. COBBOLD'S NEW WORK, " ZENON ;
♦N HISTORICAL NARRATIVE OF THE EARLY DAYS OF

CHRISTIANITY."— We are glad to observe that a second
and cheaper edition of this interesting work has just
been published. We congratulate Mr. Cobbold upon
having devoted his time and talents to a work which
must interest every one who has any sympathy with the
fearful sufferings endured by the primitive followers of
Christianity. But, besides this, " Zenon" is the pro-
duction of an accomplished scholar, who places before
us the domestic life of a people whose name is associated
with all our most cherished recollections of whatever is
great and noble in human nature. Mr. Cobbold has
evinced equal judgment and skill in his management of
his subject.—John Bull.
FREE-TRADE CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS.—The Free-
trade Convention, to commence on Thursday next at
Brussels, will, it is hoped, be an interesting and impor-
tant meeting. Through some neglect in sending the
invitations and making the announcements, the intention
to hold this conference has hardly been known in this
country till within the last two or three weeks. Had it
been otherwise, a large attendance of English Free-
traders might have been expected. As it is, several of
our countrymen will be present, amongst them Mr.
James Wilson, M.P., Mr. William Browne, M.P., sent
by the Free•traders of South Lancashire, Mr. Peter
Fairburn, deputed by those of Leeds, Colonel Thomp-
son, M.P., deputed both by Bradford and Sheffield, Mr.
T. B. Turton, the late master cutler of Sheffield, Mr. S.
Mitchell, of that town, &c. It is not a little to be re-
gretted that Mr. Cobden is now in Russia, and will,
therefore be prevented from attending. Colonel Thomp-
son, the veteran pioneer in the cause, will happily be
among the guests. Thus the great manufacturing com-
mercial interests of the north of England will be fairly
represented at the congress ; and the weight of the
largest bodies of manufacturers in the world be given to
the noble principles of freedom of industry and inter-
course among nations.—Leeds.llfercury.
IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE:On
Saturday information was circulated throughout the
police force that four men, of shabby-genteel appear-
ance, bad entered the Brave Nelson public-
house, Old Gravel-lane, St. George's-in-the-East,
kept by Mr. Collins, and having been served
with some refreshment in the parlour, three of
them contrived to keep the landlord and landlady in
conversation whilst the fourth slipped out of the room.
broke into the bedroom, and plundered it of 5/. in gold
and silver, and a quantity of wearing apparel, plate, &c.,
getting clear off with the booty, the robbery not being
discovered till after they had all left the house.
LICENSING DAY TOR THE CITY.—A notice has
been issued that a special session will be holden at
Guildhall, on Saturday, the 18th inst., at nine o'clock,
for the purpose of granting licenses to persons about
to keep inns, alehouses, &c., within the city of London.
RAMBLES IN SWEDEN AND GOTTLAND.—WS are
requested to state that this new work, by Sylvanus,
author of "Pedestrian Reminiscences at Home and
Abroad," &c. (in Bvo., with illustrations), will be pub-
lished by Mr. Bentley, to-morrowi the 14th inst.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday
morning a young man and two or three females were
out in a small skiff on the river. W hen off Mr. Chand-

ler's steam-boat pier, owing to the strong breeze, and, it
is alleged, unskilfulness of the parties in the boat, the
vessel suddenly turned over, and the whole of them
wereimmersed. The cries of the people in the water
brought several persons to their assistance ; but, not-
withstanding that every exertion was made, the young
man who had charge of the skin was carried along with
the tide and disappeared. The females were taken into
a public-house at Millbank, and when they bad suffi-
ciently recovered they returned to their homes. The
females refused to tell the name or address of the young
man whose life has been sacrificed.
DEATH OF HOLLINGSWORTII, THE COMEDIAN.—'-
.dr. Thomas Hollingsworth, the comedian and theatri-
cal agent, expired on Saturday afternoon, at the age of
53. The deceased, who a few years since was well
known in the metropolis as the representative of old
men, went on Sunday afternoon with his wife to the
Brighton Railway terminus, for the purpose of secirg her
safe into the carriage, as she was going to see her chil-
dren at Brighton. He returned to his lodgings, 11,
Bell-yard, Clare-market, where he complained for the
first time of a pain near the kidneys. He had the best
medical attendance that could be obtained, but, in spite
of every exertion, he " shuffled off this mortal coil."
The deceased was the author of several successful farces.
We regret to hear from undoubted authority that
there is a most extensive potato blight in Poland. This
is an event to be deplored, even though it may not affect
lus, now that we are secured by a plentiful harvest, a
by a profusion of foreign supply.—Observer, an
