BRUSsELs, APRIL 15.—The average price of wheat
last wee ,k was 17f. 80c., and that of rye 10f. 63e.
All enlightened Belgians and friends to their coun-
try ought to welcome, with good will, the new men
whom the King has honoured with his confidence. We
must wait for what they will do, in order to judge of
them by their works.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 24.—The following are
the energetic representations which Austria and Russia,
(filled with compassion for the melancholy situation of
the Christians in Syria and Palestine), have joined in
presenting to the Porte, in behalf of their Christian
brethren, the object of which is to maintain the privi-
lege formerly granted to them. In particular, the
Porte is most earnestly recommended to appoint
a Governor immediately dependent on the Porte
for Palestine and its chief towns of the Holy Land, who
should reside at Jerusalem, to which the port of Jaffa
should belong, in order to keep open a communication
with the Mediterranean ; likewise to take steps to put
an end to the abuses, and the oppressions to which the
Christians are exposed ; to treat all the inhabitants with
equal impartiality, and to afford them the same protec-
teetion in the administration of justice ; equally to afford
a friendly reception to all pilgrims who visit the Holy
Laud. All the differences between the Clergy of the
Greek Roman Catholic and Armenian Churches shall
cease. The Patriarch of Jerusalem, who generally re-
sides at Constantinople, shall have facility to visit his
diocese, which has hitherto been attended with much
trouble and expense. A commission shall be appointed
to regulate the affairs of the Church, consisting of the
Governor, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, or his Vicar-
General, the e'der of the Latin and Armenian Consuls,
and a Prelate as Commissioner, Lastly, each shall
endeavour to facilitate the repairs of the Churaho* and
Convents, which have been ruined or damaged, and
measures to be taken to maintain strict discipline
among the Turkish soldiers who have to guard the
Holy Sepulchre, &c, Letters from Damascus say
that Count Szechenyi has died of the plague in that city.

RAILWAY CHARGES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Knowing your columns ale slw•a's open to
give publicity to any circumstance s iiffeting the public
interest, there is none that calls louder for amendment
than the existing charges by the present Railway Com-
panies, and it is quite time the public had some protec•
tion or limit—to have a fixed sum for over-weight of
luggage, proportionate to weight and distance, and not
to be at the mercy of Directors. Having occasion to
come from Liverpool to Preston, a few days since, with
an over-weight of 1081 b., of no bulk, the subjoined
statement will clearly show the charges for the
