Metternich made use of in a conversation with a young diplo-
matist, who appeared greatly alarmed at the consequences of

said the latter. By whom?' asked the Prince. By
France,' replied the diplomatist; the act of the three
Powers seems to have greatly irritated her. Has Austria
sufficiently calculated the consequences of her conduct?'
' Sir,' answered M. de Metternich, with one of those smiles
which are peculiar to him, you calumniate the French Go-

others.' "

THE WEATHER.
TUESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK.
The severity of the frost continues, and with more in-
tensity to-day ; but the snow has ceased, and the
weather is beautiful—the sun shining brightly on spire
and house-top, glittering with snow ! The contrast is
withal refreshing, compared with the dull, foggy at-
mosphere we have had for the last ten days ; and the
only wish now is, that as we hare had a good fall of
snow, it may remain a few days longer. When a thaw
takes place London will be in a precious puddle

FLANDERS MAIL.
BalmsEts, FEB. 4.—The Chamber of Representatives
voted to-day a project of law relative to the export duties on
tali-115-g unaffested an apprehension that thrGeZern=t
might make use of a prohibitory vote of the Legislature on
this insignificant object, as a precedent to obtain in the
sequel a law prohibiting the exportation of flax, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs positively declared that the Government
will not propose any law containing measures prohibiting or
restricting the exportation of flax. The Government, said
the Minister, believes that the cultivation of flax might re-
.

ceive a mortal blow by prohibiting the exportation since
at present the cultivation of flax is so considerable that it has
been necessary to have recourse to importation.
The Chamber will discuss to-morrow the project of law re-
lative to the cultivation of waste lands.
A deputation of the principal persons of the town of Most
waited to-day on the Minister of Public Works, to urge him
to hasten as much as possible the preparatory works for the
construction of the railway from Ghent to Brussels by way of
Alost.

BRUSSELS, FEB. s.—The Chamber
commenced to-day the general debate on of Representatives
relative ito the `clearing of the waste lands.
At the the project of law
com-
mencement of the sitting the Minister of Vira
r pr
pro-
ject of law for granting a pension of 1,,000f.
to presented a
ajor Borgne,
as a civic reward; it was refereed to the central section on the
budget of War Department, with a request
to make a
speedy report. Messrs. de Haerene and Rodenbach called
the attention of the Government to the 1 deporable condition
of the indigent class in East Flanders, where In some com-
munes, out of 15 deaths 13 are poor people,and
where the
deaths are double or triple the number of births. The Mi.
nister of the Interior replied, that the Government
direct s
its most serious attention to the question of pauperism fn
Flanders, and that it has employed extensively
pru-
dently the resource which the Legislature has placed andat
its
disposal, that it has performed its duty, and
will
continue to
perform it with the most anxious solicitude.
In answer to a
question from Rodenbach, the Minister of the Interior an-
nounced that the benefits of the projects of law would be
extended to all the uncultivated lands in Belgium,
and that
he has applied to Mr. Hamner, the engineer, for a report o
the cultivation of the Vee Gerveyde, near Licht erwad 1 12
, in
West Flanders.
The Chamber, proceeding to the general debate, received
several amendments, which the Minister of the Interior pro-
posed to the original project. It then heard several Members
in favour, and others against the proposed law.
Mr. Shoffschmeett declared that the project of law was
unconstitutional, being in direct violation of the practices of
the communes, by the right of expropriation which it grants
to the Government.
The debate adjourned till to-morrow.

'ATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON AT3IOB-
- RAILWAY.—Owing to the snow on Sunday getting
into the atmospheric tube, the various trains after five o'clock
had to be conveyed by the locomotive. At nine o'clock an
attempt was made to work the down train by atmospheric
power, but in consevence of a stoppage a locomotive was
sent after the train to assist it on its journey, when one of
the men employed to superintend the closing of the valve
by the cement, not being aware of the arrangement, and it
is supposed not expecting a locomotive on the atmospheric
line, was fulfilling his duty, and beforo he was observed the
engine ran over him, almost literally crushing him to pieces.
The body of the unfortunate man, whose name was Thomas
Smith,
was conveyed to the Jolly Sailor, near where the acci-
dent occurred, to await the result of a coroner's inquest.
During Monday the trains were generally propelled by loco-
run on g.i;t?t"riZizi,e
