DUTCH AND BELGIAN PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, AUG. s.—The object of the journey of
the King of Wurtemberg to the Hague, we are assured
upon good authority, stands in close connexion with the
decided resolution of the Prince of Orange to renounce
the crown. The Princess of Orange is said to be dis-
tressed, not only on her own account, at this resolution,
' but on that of her eldest son, whose rights as future
Crown Prince she is apprehensive will hereby be in•
fringed. At her urgent request the King of Wurtem-
berg has come here for the purpose of endeavouring to
dissuade his son-in-law from taking this step. Report
says that the King of the Netherlands intends to go to
the East.
BERLIN, AUG. 2.—The doctrine of free trade is
making great progress in Germany, and an Association
has been formed at Berlin on those principles. The
Prussian Gazette has published an article, which may be
considered an energetic reply of the Prussian Govern-
ment to the clamour of the manufacturing classes of the
Rhine, Bavaria, and Baden, to their continual demand
for protection and commercial prohibition.
In Hamburgh a new journal possessing these prin-
ciples will be immediately published, on the model of
the English Economist.
BERLIN, AUG. 2.—The restrictive laws respecting lot-
teries have been found insufficient. His Majesty has
just issued a decree prohibiting all participation in fo-
reign lotteries, or the establishment of home lotteries,
or gambling booths, without the sanction of the Minister
of the interior and Finance. under a penalty of a grada-
tion of fines up to 500 dollars. Under the term of lot-
teries is comprehended every public establishment for
speculation in moveable or immoveable articles.
POSEN, JULY 28.—We have not barns enough wherein
to stow our rich harvest. The farmers are erecting
large ricks in the fields. Several have already thrashed
their corn in order to profit by the present high prices.
The produce is immense ; the same quantity which in
former good years yielded 4 sheffels has this year pro-
duced no less than 6. Prices are, in consequence, fall-
ing in the markets.
BRUSSELS, AUG. s.—The average price of corn for
the week ending 31st July was—wheat, 351 33c.; rye,
Bc.—being a decline in wheat of lfi. 18c., and of
rye lfl. 53c. Although the sellers continue to endeavour
to maintain the high prices, it is impossible for them to
hold out longer, and there is in consequence a fall on
grain of every kind. Very little was doing in the mar-
ket to day in the export trade. Several purchases of
good Polish and Odessa wheat were made at 151fi ; rye
is nominal at 7ifl.; rape seed is in great demand, espe-
cially for exportation.
The quantity of rye which has been carried home and
thrashed this harvest is quite unprecedented; it surpasses
twofold the best years of late we have known; every
place is now filling, and there is an ample supply for the
distilleries. A farmer in the commune Heube (West
Flanders) obtained from nine acres of land five hectolitres
of rye, or fifty-five hectolitres per hectare; last year the
same extent of land yielded only sixteen hectolitres per
hectare. 'Without doubt there is no exaggeration in
stating that this harvest is the finest which we have
known this century
THE HAGUE, AUG. 7.—His Majesty the King of
Wurtemberg returned to his state yesterday, a grand
farewell dinner having been given to his Majesty on the_
4th by the King of the Netherlands, to which the Roya-
Family and principal officers of State were invited.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND BIR-
MINGHAM RAILWAY.—An accident, by which one life
was lost and another nearly sacrificed, occurred on this
line on Friday night. Tne mail train due in Birming-
ham at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock arrived from
Bristol at Bruins°bTove in due time. Thence it proceeded
at its usual speed towards Birmingham, when, on its
entering a short cutting nearly opposite Kingsmorton,
the engine left the rail for a distance of 80 yards,
ploughed through the soil on the side of an embank-
ment, and ultimately, mounting the embankment, was
thrown completely over upon the rails. The tender
was thrown sideways, but most fortunately interposed to
prevent the guards' van from coming in contact with the
tire-box of the engine, or the most frightful conse-
quences must have ensued. Just previous to the engine
being thrown over, the driver, a steady man named John
Warburton, exclaimed to Fletcher, the stoker, "Oh I
we are dead men 1" and in a few seconds his prophecy
was realised. The poor fellow was literally smashed
between the engine and the tender. Fletcher had a mi-
raculous escape. By some means one of his legs be-
came entangled, and when the collision took place the
piston of the engine came close to his face. His leg was
liberated, and, throwing himself back, he escaped with
no other injury than a dreadfully scalded face. There
were twelve passengers in the train, only one of whom
was a lady. None were in the slightest degree hurt.
Mr. Brotherton, the son of the Hon. Member for Sal-
ford, who was in the train, most laudably rendered
every assistance in his power, and was unremitting in
his attention to the injured man and the affrighted lady.
The accident is said to have been caused by a broken
" chair," occasioned by the weight of the engine and
tender. Within two hours three heavy trains had
passed over the same rails and met with no obstruction
or interruption. From appearance the rail in advance
of the broken chair had sprung, and thrown the left
wheel of the engine on to the road, whence it had run
on to the embankment. A pilot engine, sent out from
Birmingham shortly after the occurrence, arrived on the
spot and returned with the bags. The deceased, War-
burton, has left a wife and three children. Mr. R.
Docker, the coroner, has appointed an inquest to be held
at the Saracen's Head, Kingsnorton, on Monday, when
it is supposed the railway commissioners will send down
one of their engineers to watch the proceedings on the
part of the Government.
DEATH OF PARSLOE, THE PROMPTER. Poor
Parsloe, for many years the prompter at Covent-garden
Theatre, is no more. He that gave " the word" to so
many actors on the mimic scene is now without a word
himself ; the last act in life's drama is done, the curtain
has fallen, and the book closed for ever upon his mortal
labours. Ile died on last Friday morning, after a
lengthened period of mental disturbance and bodily suf-
fering. Having on Saturday week become very violent,
he was removed to Lambeth workhouse, prior to his
being placed in a lunatic asylum, but death terminated
his sufferings before his removal could be effected. He
had been a long time an annuitant upon the Covent-
Garden Fund, and his widow will now be entitled to

the Rev. Mr. Master, of Chorley,
party of friends had assembled there too
and the evening was spent very pleasantly
quarter to eleven o'clock, when Mr. Blackburne
breathed breathed heavily twice or thrice, sank back in his chair('
and fell to the floor. Mrs. Blackburne ran to him in
the greatest consternation and alarm. Medical assis-
tance was promptly sent for, and in the mean time
vari,us remedies were resorted to, but without effect, as
on the arrival of Mr. Hodgson, surgeon, he had breathed
his last. Dr. Formby arrived immediately after, but
both concurred in the opinion that nothing could have
saved Mr. Blackburne, the attack being apoplexy. The
deep affliction of Mrs. and Miss Blackburne, and, in-
deed, of the whole party assembled, at the awful event,
was distressing in the extreme. Mr. Blackburne was
the brother of Mr. John Ireland Blackburne, of Hale,
late Member for Warrington, and had held the rectory
of Prestwich about eleven years, having been presented
to it by the Earl of Wilton, on the decease of the Rev.
James Lyon, in 1836. He was previously Vicar of
Eccles. The remains of the lamented gentleman, who
was highly respected by a large circle of friends, will
be interred early in the ensuing week, in the family
vault at Hale. The funeral a ilCbe quite private. Mr.
Blackburne's age was about 57 years. His lady and
eight children are left to mourn his loss. The eldest son
was about to enter at one of the Universities, intending
eventually to take holy orders.—Manchester Courier.
