BRUSSELS, AUG. 30.—Yesterday the Marquis de
Rumigny, Ambassador of the King of the French, had
an audience of the King to deliver his credentials.
His Excellency was accompanied by the gentlemen at-
tached to the Legation.
The .Monileur contains a long report addressed to
the King by M. Rogier, Minister of Public Works in
the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts at Antwerp, re-
commanding certain measures for the encouragement of
that establishment. To this report is subjoined a
Royal ordinance founded on it.
" We, Leopold, &c.,
" On the report of our Minister of Public Works.
have decreed—
" 1. Our Minister of Public Works is instructed to
lay before us a plan for the complete re-organization of
the Academy of Antwerp, founded on the importance
of that establisment, and what is required for the pur-
poses of instruction in the higher branches of the art.
"2. Independently of the sum allowed by the city of
Antwerp, an annual sum of 25,000 francs, to be
charged on the budget of the State, alkali be employed
in defraying the expences of the Royal Academy and
Museum of Antwerp."
It is said that the King will pass several weeks in
Germany. Contrary to his usual custom, he will on
this occasion have part of his equipages with him, which
will set out to-morrow to precede him.
It is affirmed that the Queen will accompany his
Majesty to Wiesbaden, which will not be the only city
that they will visit together. We do not know whether
this journey has any political object.—Observateur.

FRACAS IN THE UNDERWRITERS' ROONIS.
We understand that an extraordinary fracas took place in
the Underwriters' Rooms on Monday, between Mr. RN
bertson Gladstone and Lieutenant Collins, of the Navy,
in the course of which Mr. Gladstone struck the Lieute-
nant in the face. The parties ha7e been bound over to
keep the peace ; and the probability is that Mr. Gladstone
will have to answer for his conduct in a court of law. e
understand that the quarrel arose out of some difference as
to the conduct of Lieutenant Collins's son, who is in the
service of Mr. Gladstone,—Liverpool Tirpes.
