FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.—From the report of the re-
ceipts of railways in the month of September, it
appeared that they amounted to 1,636,124 francs,
being 96,000 francs more than in the month of Sep-
tember last year. The increase amounts to 27,0001.
for passengers, and 55,000 f. on goods. A slight di-
minution has taken place on the transport of goods,
which is easily accounted for by the fact that the
foreign travellers, who mostly pay for their goods,
reached the culminating point in August. From 1845
to 1846 there was an increase of 791,407 f., or 81 per
cent. The increase of 1847 has exceeded that of the
preceding year by 912,6441., or 5 per cent. While
the budget has calculated upon an increase of only
14 per cent., the end of the year will show a surplus
of more than a million.

ANTWERP, Nov. 9.---Our market was perfectly
calm to-day in commodities of every kind.
VIENNA, Nov. 3.—The very unsatisfactory report
from London this day, and especially that the funds
had fallen 3 per cent., being noted NI, caused no
little alarm on our exchange, although it made no
particular impression on our other funds. Ferdinand's
Northern Railway was quoted at 1521, but at the
close it was only 150 f. to 1501 f. The fall in the Venice
Milan shares was still more remarkable ; they
suddenly fell from 971 to 944 to 95. Our inland
funds remained firm, and the Five per Cents. as well
as the Four per Cents. experienced no change. The
report which has been generally circulated, through
the medium of the Breslau Gazette, that the four last
failures in Leghorn has occasioned a loss of a million
and a half to our trade, and that this blow must in-
duce further consequences, is groundless ; at all
events as yet nothing of that kind has transpired in
our commercial world. _

ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 29.—There is a general
stagnation of business or every kind, and with an
ample supply of goods there is no activity in the
market, and both buyers and speculators are quite
dispirited.
BERLIN, Nov. 6.—We cannot say much that is
new respecting our Bourse ; the general tendency,
however, is rather favourable than otherwise, and
although there is no great improvement in the ex-
change, this is entirely attributed to the want of
speculation. We have scarcely ever seen our ex-
change in so passive a state as at present. N either
good news nor bad from abroad cause any sensible
impression ; and it is evident that under such circum-
stances business must be extremely dull. The news
of the late fall in the English funds, the rise in the
discount of the Bank of Amsterdam, the movements
in Switzerland, &c., would at other times have caused
great reactions here. Now, however, by means of
the Prussian Bank, our financial circumstances are
such, that ample opportunities are given to the share-
holders to keep firm hold of their effects, and hence
desirable bargains are seldom offered for sale. In
this respect the working of that bank must be consi-
dered as highly beneficial, and it is the more gene-
rally surprising that, while the exchange is so regular
and animated, the bank shares do not obtain a higher
course. To-day some were offered for sale at 104.
Our railway shares remain, on the whole, the same
as last week. The state of our corn trade remains
unchanged; wheat has not risen in price, rye is ani-
mated. Very little is done in barley, which is
offered at higher prices, but cannot maintain them.
HAMBURGH, Nov. 6.—The arrivals here are but
small, especially in our corn market, but trade has
been more animated, particularly with England.
THE CHOLERA.—Moscow.—Since the 17th the
number of cholera cases here has daily decreased.
On the 22d there were 229 patients, the greater
number of whom gave hopes of recovery.
GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.—OH the evening of the
2d of November, the Austrian Ambassador in Swit-
zerland, Baron Von Keisersfeld, with his attache, M.
Von Hofmann, arrived at Constance, and on the 3d
embarked on the steamer for Breganze, where he will
probably take up his residence till the war in Swit-
zerland is decided.

VIENNA, NOT. s.—The Austrian Observer con-
tains the following :—" The Austrian Ambassador is
said to have informed the Vorort to-day that he has
received orders from his Court, on the breaking out
of the war in Switzerland, to withdraw to neutral
ground ; at the same time, however, to make the
declaration that Austria in no wise interfered in
favour of either of the belligerent parties, but would
remain quite neutral, and that the friendly peaceful re-
lations of this power with the confederates should
undergo no change in this respect."
We are authorised to declare that the Imperial
Ambassador in Switzerland, Baron Von Keisersfeld,
who, since the breaking out of the disturbances in
the confederacy, has removed his post from Berne to
Zurich, has sent in a notification to H. Zehnded, the
Burgomaster of Zurich, that in pursuance of com-
mands from his Court, that at the moment of the
breaking out of the civil war he will leave Switzer-
land and return to Breganze.—Flanders Mail, No-
vember 10. _

EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.

ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 29.—His Highness the Vice
roy, who has been staying in Alexandria all the
summer, left for Cairo yesterday morning on the ap-
proach of winter, the cold weather not being so much
felt in the capital as it is here. The usual salutes
from all the shipping in the harbour and the forts in
and about the town were fired on the occasion, and
all the European Consuls-General are preparing to
follow the Pacha up the Nile.
The last accounts from Malta report Ibrahim Pacha's
health to be improving, and it is hoped by all the
well-wishers of Egypt that he will soon be enabled to
return to this country, as, in the event of his death
before that of Mehemet Ali, some disturbances might
arise with regard to the Viceroy's successor.
As a proof of the very good understanding at pre-
sent existing between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan
of Constantinople, the following fact may be men-
tioned :—Some time ago the Sultan, wishing to send
troops to Syria and Tunis, applied to Mehemet
Ali for the loan of his fine steamer, the Nile,
which was immediateV placed at his orders. When
Ibrahim Pacha was about leaving for Malta, in the
beginning of this month, the Viceroy wrote to Con-
stantinople for the return of his steamer for the use
of his son ; but the Nile being then at sea,
fhot
utefaotrinhtstindhtehhteeohSultan
immediately sent one of his finest steamers, which,
however, arrived here too late, as Ibrahim Pacha's
health would not permit him to wait, and he proceeded
to Malta in a French steamer.
Said Pacha, Mehemet Ali's second son, and Admiral
of the fleet, is at present in the Delta, occupied in
settling accounts with the overseers of his estates ;
and his mode of proceeding is quite peculiar to this
country. He causes the overseers to be brought

cattle have not multiplied during the season ; the

'Phis is
pursued throughout Egypt,
and is discreditable both to the landlord and the
tenant; but there is this to be said in favour of the
latter, that he knows too well that, were he to pay his ay
rents at once, or to show the proper number of cattle
without first submitting to a few scores of stripes
the soles of his feet, the proprietor, ever suspicious,
would immediately imagine that he must have still
more money, and still more cattle by him, and the
tenant would, in that case, go on receiving stripes in-
numerable without having it in his power to mitigate
them.
Lieutenant General Sir Charles Napier and family
proceed to-morrow morning, by the French steamer,
to Malta, where they intend to perform quarantine,
and then go on to Nice, to spend the winter there,for
the benefit of Lady Napier's health. During his
stay in Alexandria General Napier went over the new
fortifications at present in the course of erection round
the town. He also visited the shipping wharves and
the extensive stores which have recently been built
along the canal, and where the greatest activity exists
in this season of the year, owing to the large quanti-
ties of produce which are arriving from the upper
country, and where numberless camels, donkeys, and
porters are to be seen all day long, conveying grain
from the boats on the canal to the stores, and from the
stores to the shipping wharves in the harbour.
There is at present a great deal,of fever prevailing in
Alexandria, and the average number of deaths during
the last month has been thirty-six daily, whilst in
ordinary times it is only fourtien.
