BRUSSELS, MAT 11.—Seventeen ships arrived in Ant-
werp yesterday, twelve of which have cargoes of Corn.
The Prccurscur informs us that the refiners of foreign
sugar at .Antwerp have just addressed a petition to the
Minister of Finance on tho subject of molasses,
which have lately arrived from Mantazas, and
which are no longer imported at the duty
of 6.36. In this document, which we are sorry that
we cannot place before our readers at full length. The
petitioner requires that the member, before deciding on
this admission, will be pleased to order a trial to be
made with the molasses, in order to ascertain the quan-
tity of sugar fit for exportation which these contain.
For the purpose of making this trial, the refiners have
placed their manufactories at the disposal of the Go-
vernment.

The Senate opened and closed the general discussion
of projects of law for granting supplementary credit to
the department of the Interior andof Foreign Affairs.
The sequel of the general discussion
of
the projects of
law relative to the reduction of the tollson the Sambre,
which opened at the end of the sitting, was adjourned till
the evening.
The Monitetor of this day contains a Royal ordinance,
promulgating the law, by which the Chambers have
fixed the expenditure and revenue of the kingdom, ac-
cording to the account presented by the Minister of
Finance.
Art. 1. The ordinary and extraordinary expenses of
1839 are fixed at the sum of 124,293,314 f. 74c. The
payment of the expenses which have been made for the
same period till its close, is fixed at 123,934,849 f. 33c.;
the remaining to be paid at 138,495 f. 44c.
Art. 2. The receipts of the budget of 1839 are fixed
at the sum of 115,885,823 f. 15c.
A sum of 48,612 f. sc. is to be deducted from the
revenue.
ANTWERP.-ASPECT OF THE ITARTEST.-A letter
from Grammonde says, the country presents at this
moment a delightful prospect from the fine appearance
of the cole seed, which have not, for a long time, been
so strong and so full covered with flowers. There has,
indeed, been some delay in the flowering as in vegeta-
tion in general this year, but this delay will not be pre-
judicial; next to the cole seed the rye presents the most
beautiful appearance. It is long since it has been
so fine, and only ono fear is entertained, namely, lest
the abundance of seed should be lost in the plant, and
leave only their ears. For this reason, several farmers
at the beginning of last month, have sent their sheep
into the rye field to weed the plants, and they have suc-
ceeded admirably. The wheat is not so favourable, and
in general is slightly attacked with blight, which, how•
ever, begins to disappear. A considerable quantity of
wheat suffer from the want of manure, which many of
the smaller farmers have not been able to procure this
year. The planting of potatoes is completed, but the
farmers have generallyadvice of the news-
, -papers to pass the harrow over the plantations. The
flax looks well, and, upon the whole, the
state of the
harvest is favourable in our neighbourhood
VIENNA, MAY 4,—At one o'clock this morning the

remains of his Imperial highness the Archduke were
laid in state in the llofberg Chapel. The walls were
hung with black cloth, upon which are suspended the
various armorial bearings of the deceased. The
Imperial Duke, lying en the state bed, is at-
tired in a marshal's uniform, his hands crossed
on his breast, surrounded by a hundred burn.
ing wax•tapers. At his feet lie his field marshal's
staff and his hat and sword; at his head, a crown; on
his right and left, the Gold Fleece. the Grand Cross of
the Order of Theresa, and -several other splendid deco-
rations. The heart of the hero is now (three o'clock)
being conveyed to the Church of St. Augustin, and his
entrails to the Church of St. Stephen. In two hours
the remains of the Duke will be deposited in
the imperial vault of the Capuchins. Thousands
have been assembling since an early hour this morning
to witness the interment. This morning a letter was
addressed, by his Majesty the Emperor, to the chief
military councillor, Count von Ilardeyg, imforming him
that the army should partake of the court mourning for
six weeks ; that the Field Marshal's sword shall be de-
posited in the Imperial Arsenal ; and that both: the
Regiments of which he was commander should for ever
retain the name of the Archduke Charles. llis Majesty
likewise states his desire immediately to erect a splendid
monument to the memory of the deceased. On the an-
niversary of Napoleon's death a solemn mass will be
celebrated for the departed Duke. The theatres are
closed for some days.

DEARTH IN GERMANY.
PRAGUE, MAT 2cl.—Private letters state that there
have been riots in Kommotan, and also in Eger and
Leitmeritz, directed against foreign corn dealers. They
were pursued out of Eger with showers of stones as far
as Waldsassen ; and in Leitmeritz a speculator in corn
had both his ears cut off.

Disturbances were also apprehended at Aussig.
In the Riesengebirge the people mix flour with wheat
straw, and where this cannot be obtained, they are com-
pelled to use hay ground to powder, which they mix
with rye, flour and oatmeal.
BERLIN, MAY s.—Several cargoes of corn arrived
here to-day, and others are expected. The importation
of corn by land has also been considerable, so that the
sale in our market to-day might be called dull.
Rye was sold at 102 dollars to 110 dollars per whispel
(24 bushels), and oats from 46 dollars to 50 dollars.
I❑ consequence of the prohibition of the distilleries, such
a large supply of potatoes has come from the wealthy
landowners, that there is sufficient, not only for planting
sod supporting the inhabitants, but also for feeding
the cattle, so that we may hope for a great reduction in
the price of this article.
PRUSSIAN DIET.

BERLIN, MAY 4.—The affair of the address is not
yet settled, and we shall, therefore, soon find it again
brought forward. The continuation of the projects of
law in the sitting of to day did not produce anything
important. We may add, that in the last sitting of the
preceding week the determination, according to which
those persons are to be considered as exceptionable, who
according to article 4 of the Royal ordinance of the 20th
of July, 1843, in the Courts of Honour, have been con-
demned to the penalties prescribed (e.g., for wanton
conduct in duelling), was rejected by a majority of 260
to 205.

MEETING OF THE DEBENTURE
HOLDERS OF THE LYCEUM THEATRE.
A meeting of the debenture holders of this theatre was
held yesterday in the saloon of the theatre, for the pur-
pose of considering the best means to be adopted for recover-
ing the arrears now due to them on their debentures.
There were present Mr. ‘1 arrington, Mr. Brookes, Mr.
Lumley (who attended as the solicitor and agent of the
Marquis of Aylesbury), Mr. Chilton (who attended as the
representative of Mr. Wallace), Mr. Powell, Dr. Jay, Mr.
Amyott, the magistrate, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. G. Moore, Mr. W.
Cox, Mr. Wagstaff, and Mr. J. Strutt.
Mr. WARRINGTON having been called to the chair,
Mr. Srnurr said that he called this meeting of his brother
debenture holders in order that they might consider the steps
proper to be taken under the circumstances in which they
found themselves placed. As a debenture holder he
had, on the 25th of April last, written to Mr.
Walter Arnold, as the representative of the trustees
of the Lyceum Theatre, requesting that gentleman
to furnish him (Mr. Strutt) with a statement of the accounts
of the theatre. (Mr. Strutt here read the letter, which
stated, that as Mr. Arnold had received a sum amounting to
upwards of 5,0001. as rent for the theatre, from Messrs.
Keeley and Strutt, he (Mr. Strutt) as a debenture holder,
requested to know how that sum had been applied.) In his
answer, Mr. Walter Arnold said that as Messrs. Grisell and
Peto had a mortgage upon the property, dated 1834, which
took precedence of the debenture deeds, and not one shilling
of which had been discharged, he must decline furnishing
any accounts. (This letter was also read in e.rtenso.) He
(Mr. Strutt) had paid to Mr. Walter Arnold, as rent,
for the theatre in 1844, 2,2031., in 1845, 2,3071., exclusive of
400/. deposit; in 1846. 2,6991., and up to the 13th June, 1847,
5574 making a total of 7,7664, which he knew himself had
been paid, and, which spread over an extent of three years,
gave 2,313/. a year. From 1836 to 1846 there had been re-
ceived as rent of the theatre, 22,4001., and as rent of the
houses included in the same trust, 3,3601., making a total
of 26,2601., giving an average rental for the theatre
of 2,073/., and for the houses of 3571., showing a total annual
average rental during the 11 years of 2,224/. When the
mortgage was given to Grisell and Peto there was a sum of
1,4451. due to the Marquis of Exeter. The following had
been stated by Mr. Walter Arnold to be the amount of the
average annual liabilities of the theatre :—Ground rent,
7041.; interest on a mortgage held by the Marquis of Exeter,
232/. ; interest on Grisell and Peto's mortgage, 560/. ; taxes,
2501.; insurance, 120/. • repairs, 100/. ; sundries, 254 ; and
Mr. Walter Arnold Charged for himself, for the trouble
of receiving the moneys, 1501. a year. Ile left it
to the meeting to say how far they thought such a payment
ought to be sanctioned in the present state of their affairs.
But even this account showed that there .sight to be a balance
in hand of 3,300/. available to the payment of the debt due
to the debenture holders, but he had ascertained that there
must be a considerably greater balance unaccounted for. The
ground rent was two years in arrear, which would increase
the balance unaccounted for by a sum of 1,4004, and
be would ask, if Mr. Walter Arnold, or the trustees,
have received this money, why did they thus place
the property of the debenture holders in jeopardy? The lUar-
quis of Exeter might at any moment enter upon the pos.
session of the theatre, and get rid of them altogether by an
action of ejectment. If Mr. Walter Arnold could not give
some better account of this transaction than he had done,
it was high time that the debenture holders should look to
themselves. In July 1836, Mr. Walter Arnold had written
a letter to the debenture holders, stating that the debt due
to Grisell and Peto was 5,9964, and that it would be liqui-
dated by an annual payment of 8001. The mortgage debt
now returned as due to Grisell and Peto was 9,237/., nearly
double what it was in 1836. It could not have amounted to
this sum even if the 2,2391. guaranteed to the Marquis of
Exeter on the execution of this mortgage were included in
it. This debt ought to have been reduced instead of
baring been increased, inasmuch as there was a surplus
of revenue over expenditure, which might have been
applied to its gradual liquidation; but, notwithstanding the
receipts show a balance for the last 11 years of 300/. a year
over the expenditure, making a sum of 3,3001., which might
have been applied to the liquidation of this debt, notwith-
standing there was a sum of 1,400/. arrears of ground rent
unaccounted for, this debt of Grisell and Peto's had nearly
doubled. There was besides a sum of 1,650/.' which during
that period had been drawn by Mr. Walter Arnold for re-
ceiving the moneys belonging to them.
Mr. POWELL—That is not the only benefit Mr. W.
Arnold has derived. Ile has, I believe, besides this 150/.
a year, the best box in the theatre.
Mr. STifurr said such was the case, and not only had he
the privilege of giving that box to his friends, but he used
to let it through the booksellers at 21. a night, clearing 61. a
week in that manner, and it was in consequence of his (Mr.
Strutt's) refusal to let Mr. Arnold use his privilege in that
manner to the injury of the lessees, that Mr. Arnold had
chosen to refuse any terms that Mr.. Keeley and himself might
offer to take the theatre. But as that was a merely personal
matter he would not go into it.
Mr. POWELL-By what authority does Mr. Arnold hold
that box? We do not benefit by it.
Mr. STaurr—Certainly the debenture holders do not profit
by the box.
- Mr. PowELL—It is a very bad bone, certainly; but Mr.
Arnold seems to be the only person who gets any picking off
of it.

In answer to several questions,
Mr. Sriwrr said that he did not know who had a right to
let the theatre. He had taken it of Mr. W. Arnold; he paid
Mr. W. Arnold the rent ; and Mr. W. Arnold was the only
person he knew as the representative of the debenture holders.
He believed that the mortgage of Grisell and Veto had been
assigned to Mr. Walter Arnold, who had assigned it to Lord
Cecil, the Marquis of Exeter's son. He had learned from
Mr. Warneford, the agent to the Marquis of Exeter, that
there were two years' arrears of ground rent due, and until
that was paid up they might be refused permission to walk
into the theatre. The taxes had been returned as
250/., they amounted to less than 2001. The insurance in
the West of England had been returned at 2501. a Year,
He had inquired, and found that the sum paid to the West
of England Office was 657. a year. The repairs had been
estimated at 100/. During the three years of his tenancy he
himself had done all the repairs, and during the last eleven
years not 3001. had been spent on the theatre ; and, with re-
gard to the 1501. a year to Mr. Walter Arnold for collecting
the money, all he could say was, that he, Mr. Strutt,
paid his rent into the bank of Messrs. Cock-
burn every Monday morning, and all the trouble
Mr. W. Arnold had was to draw it out again.
He gave Mr. W. Arnold notice of this meeting in order that
he might attend if he thought it desirable. He had also
writtea to the trustees, Lord Saltoun, Sir Andrew Barnard,
and Mr. Hallett. The two former replied that they had
never interfered in the affairs of the theatre, and the latter
that he had never received any money available to the
liquidation of the claims of the debenture holders. He had
written to Mr. Arnold, sen., and his answer was to the same
purport as that of Mr. Hallett.
A conversation ensued on the conclusion of Mr. Strutt's
address, and eventually
Mr. LUMLEY (acting on behalf of the Marquis of Ayles-
bury) moved the following resolution :
"'Resolved—That the debenture creditors having receivedb

WATERFORD AND KILKENN
RAILWAY COMPANY.
The half-yearly general meeting of this company
held yesterday, at the London Tavern; P. S. Butler,
M.P., President of the Board of Directors, in the chair.
Mr. FAGAN said he would wish to ask the Chairman,
fore the reading of the report, whether it was intends
elect directors at the present meeting
The CHAIRMAN explained that three directors were to 04
out by rotation, and might be re-elected.
Mr. FAGAN said he objected very strongly to that ast
io
being mentioned in the advertisement.
Afters
o nsu conversation

tv
itth ewtae
was
masrroafn
gt he
e;
Act that such specification should be made..
that, if it should be the wish of the company,
the election
of the directors should be postponed.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which stated that in
consequence of the Board of Works in Ireland havin refused
to lend the company any assistance in their undgertakin
except upon impracticable conditions, and the motion in Par-
liamentg for an advance of money for Irish railways having
failed, the directors applied to the Prime Minister, by whom
they were referred to the Public Works' Loan Commissioners,
and on the 21st ultimo, as they announced, they succeeded
in obtaining a premise of a loan of 83,0001. This loan
was
to be advanced or. the following conditions, viz. :
" The whole of the property possessed by the Company,
both real and personal will have to be mortgaged as secu-
rity for the money advanced, and this preliminary Sr_
of
rangement perfected, a sum 23,000/. will be immedi-
ately paid to the Company, to be pex ended on the works
of the line, and concurrently therewith, they will be required
to expend a like sum of 23,0001. from their own funds, this
(and more the directors trust)will be met by the arrears now
in course of payment; upon the loan commissioners being
satisfied of the Clue application of these two sums, amounting
in the agregate to 46,0001., a further advance of 30,0001. will
be made under similar conditions, which will (in October or
November) involve the necessity of a call of 21. 10s. per :hare,
to meet the outlay as before explained of an equivalent
sum on the part of the company—this call, however, may
be reduced in amount, in proportion as the arrears now duo
shall be paid—satisfaction being again adduced of the expen-
diture of these sums, amounting to 60,0001., a third and last
advance of 30,000!. more will be made, to meet which, a fur-
ther call of 2/. 10s, will be required about a twelvemonth
hence; and it is much to be desired for the benefit of the best
interests of the company, that these calls should be responded
to in such a manner as to enable the directors to embrace the
full advantages of the loan now conceded."
The line between Kilkenny and Thomastown would have
been completed as far as earthwork, bridges, &c., in March
last, but for the backwardness of the shareholders, but those
eleven miles, under all disadvantages, were in a very forward
state, and would be ready to receive the traffic from Carlow
to Dublin before the Irish South-Eastern Company would be
in a position to avail themselves of it, whether the company
would open their line between Kilkenny and Thomastown
before the Irish South-Eastern Company opened their line
between Carlow and the Waterford and Kilkenny line. The
Government engineer, J. Walker, Esq., who bad been sent over
by the Loan Commissioners to inspect the line, had reported
most favourably of the portion of the works already executed,
and in reference to a portion between Kilkenny and Thomas
Town, that there would be a clear revenue to pay the interest
and repay the capital, not only of the first instalment of
23,0004, but of the whole loan of 83,0001. The engineer's
report stated that since November last no new works had
been entered upon on that railway, excepting some small
works at the Kilkenny station, which were necessary for
making that station sufficient for traffic. The surveys
had been completed as far as Waterford-bridge.
The contracts already entered upon were proceeding, and
every effort would be made to complete the works.
From the financial statement, it appeared that the amount of
deposits was 12,500/., that there was a balance of loan from
the Carlow Extension Railway. The Parliamentary and
law expenses amounted to 12,002/. Ils. Ild., and the balance
at the bankers was 1,8755.
The CHAIRMAN said that the report they had just heard
read was so full as to leave him but little to notice. The specula-
tion in which they were embarked would turn out far more
lucrative than was expected some time back. That be had
received from the highest authority, and ha would
take the liberty of reading to them a passage from the
speech of Lord George Bentinck on the subject of an advance
of money for Irish railways. The Hon. Gentlemen here
read the passage in question, in which the Noble Lord stated
that there was a bona fide traffic of 1,500/. on the Great
Southern and Western Irish Railway, and which spoke of
the present line very favourably. As far as the direction was
concerned, the directors were most anxious to promote the
interests of the shareholders, and expedite the works. The
Chairman concluded by proposing the adoption of the report.
After an irregular and protracted discussion,
Mr. LAYAim seconded the resolution, which was agreed to.
The following gentlemen were then re-elected as directors,
viz.:—Mr. Colman, Mr. Greene, and Mr. Leconabe ; and Mr.
Webster was re-elected an auditor; and a resolution was passed
reducing the remuneration of the auditors to 10i. per annum.
A special meeting was then held for the purpose of consi-
dering the confirmation of the forfeiture of sundry shares in
arrear of calls.
The SECRETARY read a statement, from which it appeared
that the directors proposed to forfeit 1,692 shares, which was
confirmed by that of the meeting.
Thanks were voted to and acknowledged by the Chairman.
The meeting then separated.
