BELGIUM.
Bnosszu, AUG._ B.—Among the nmerous visitors of
our brilliant exhibition we observe many Englishmen
who came to Brussels solely for the purpose of examin-
ing the production of our manufactories.
We learn that the tunnel of Hooster, near Chaufon-
taine, is completely terminated. This tunnel was one of
the most important works of the line of the railway from
the Meuse to the Prussian frontier. This section pre-
sents difficulties almost at every step ; it will be the ad-
miration of foreigners, and the worthy compliment of
the Belgian iron railways.
We may at length hope that the weather will continue
to be fine. The sun appears to-day in all his splendour,
and we have the usual temperature of the dog days.
The Verdiers Journal of the 6th of August says ,
" A petition, signed by the principal merchants and ma-
nufacturers of Liege and Brussels; is circulated in this
town to receive the signature of our principal manu-
facturers and merchants. It is addressed to the
Minister of the Interior requesting him not to regard the
objections which have been made by some merchants and
shipowners against the establishment of a regular com-
munication by sea between Betium and some transat-
lantic ports.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 9.—lt was in vain we hoped once
more for a continuance of fine weather. Yesterday a
pretty fine day was succeeded by a dreadful storm, which
overtook thousands of persops who were walking in the
surrounding country. It was quite a deluge. the rain fell
in torrents for more than an hour, and the lightning and
thunder were awful and incessant.
BEUSSELS, Aua. io.—lt appears that the King
and Queen will not go to Paris as was reported; but it is
said that their Majesties will go to Ostend for a few days.
The Ambassadors of Austria, France, and Great Bri-
tain, to the Court of Brussels, are all at Ostend.
The marriage of the Prince of Aremberg 'to Princess
Aldobrandini, was solemnized yesterday morning at
lleverle. The ceremony was performed by Monsignore
Fomari, the Pope's Nuncio.

THE BAREBONES PARLIAMENT..---(From a
Correspondent.)--In one of the Morningl Tory Journals
the Conference of Ministers at Manchester, in
order to endeavour to procure a repeal of the Corn and
Provision-laws, is designated a "Barebone" gathering.
That designation may with great propriety be applied to
their opponents, who admit the bare-bones (for manure)
at a mere nominal duty, whilst they prohibit their im-
portation with the flesh upon them. Should the present
Parliament resolve to continue these unjust laws it may,
with the greatest correctness, be denominated a second
13arebones Parliament.
