BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.--A courier from M. Behr, the
Belgian Ambassador at Constantinople, arrived a few
days ago at Wiesbaden with despatches, which he deli-
vered to the King. These despatches were immediately
forwarded to Brussels by the same courier who arrived
yesterday.

Baron Strassart, the King's Envoy Extraordinary, ar-
rived at Turin on the 24th of September. He was
immediately received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Count Solar de la Marguerite, and was to be presented
to the King on the 26th. King Charles Albert has
resolved to send zn extraordinary Envoy to King Leo-
pold, and has chosen Count de Potion for the purpose.
The Count is one of the most distinguished persons
in Sardinia, and at present Ambassador at London.
Lord 'William Russell, the English Ambassador at
Berlin, has just received the rank of Grand Cross of the
Order of Leopold.

Dr. Scott has been permitted to practise among
French patients by a Royal ordonnance dated the 7th inst.
This gentleman, it will he remembered, was subjected to
much annoyance some time ago, along with other English
knedical men at Boulogne, from prosecutions brought
against them under a law passed in the time of the late
war, for practising among French patients without permis-
sion of Government. This reparation to a distinguished
member of the faculty has caused much satisfaction at
Boulogne.—Boulogne Gazette.
Some of the recent appeals made to their debtors
by the holders of Peninsular securities have been qui e
pathetic; but, nevertheless, the oracles of 'Change expect
it will be long enough before they touch the Spanish
The politicians of the United States are amazed
at the little attention which the boundary affair excites in
England ; they cannot conceive why " the .Maine ques-
:ion" should be considered a matter of inferior importance.
SUIT IN CHANCERY.—Me are informed that
a Bill of Discovery has been filed in the High Court of
Chancery, against the Rev. Thomas Sherburne, a Roman
Catholic clergyman, of the Willows, Kirkham, ex-Vicar-
General of the Lancashire district. Also against the
Right Rev. Dr. Briggs, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Yorkshire. Also against the Very Rev. Richard Thomp-
son, of Weld Bank, Chorley, Vicar-General for Lane hire.
Also against the Rcv. Dr. Youens, senior priest of Cop-
peras Hill Chapel, Liverpool. Also against ?qr. James
'feebay, Land Agent, Ingel, Preston. Our readers will
perhaps remember that a few weeks ago, there appeared in
The Sun a paragraph, copied from the Lancaster Guar-
dian, stating that the Rev, Thomas Sherburne, confessor
to the late 'Mr. Heatley, of Brindle Lodge, had fallen
heir to that gentleman's large fortune, and that the :aid
confessor was his sole executor and residual.), legatee. It
also intimated, that it was the intention of the heiresses-
at-law to contest the validity of their uncle's will. We
are further informed, that similar bills to the one men-
tioned above, arc in preparation against other Reverend
Gentlemen; and that most of the secular priests in Lan-
cashire, among whom is Dr. Lingard, will receive sub-
poenas fur the trial, which is to be brought on at the next
Spring Assize, fo” the county of Lancaster. The salsa-
tion which this will has occasioned in Lancashire, and the
known, is
very great, in
geourntilet, counties

where all the parties are well
trial is looked forward to
with the utmost anxit.ty.
