FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 11.-A letter from Berlin, of the
Sth, says—" Yesterday public prayers were offered up
in all the churches of the capital for the recovery of the
Queen."
The Cologne Gazette publishes a long correspondence,
from Berlin, on the state of the relations of England
and of Franco with Spain. It says that Germany ought
to take advantage of this moment to renew the amicable
connexion which existed between Germany and Spain,
and whick seemed advantageous to the commerce and
manufactures of both countries.

BERLIN, FEB. 11.—The bulletins respecting the herath
of her Majesty the Qurea continue to give more satis-
factory accounts, and we trust that we may confidently
expect her entire restoration, though her recovery will
dcubtless be gradual. The following bulletia was issued
yesterday morning:—
" Ilor Majesty the Queen slept the greater part of
the night; the lever has abated a little.
(Signed) " Dr. SCIIONLEIN.

FIRE AT Runt MILLS, NEAR NORTHAMPTON.-A
fearful lire broke out on the above premises on Wednesday
morning last, about half-past two, causing a destruction of
property to a serious amount. The alarm was first given by
the unusually loud and irregular whistling from the mall
train from l'eterborough, which ordinarily arrives at North-
ampton at the thus above stated. On the manager, Mr. G.
W. Hayes, being aroused by the whistle, and looking out of
his bed-room window, he discovered the west side of the mill
a complete body of flame. He arose and instantly dispatched
a messenger for the engine, but the man met the County
Fire Office engine about half a mile from the spot, the engine-
driver of the mail train having, immediately on his arrival
at the station, apprised the fire-engine superintendent of the
outbreak. Iu about ten minutes afterwards another engine
arrived, which was closely followed by a third. Through
the admirable exertions of the firemen, under the direction
of Mr. C. Smith, the superintendent of the engines, the pro-
gress of the lire was stopped by four o'clock, and at seven it
was completely subdued. The dwelling-house (which was
only seven feet from the part of the mill where the fire was
raging most furiously), rag house, and part of the northern
end of the mill, were saved. The manager of the mill went
round the premises at half past ten the preceding night; at
that time everything was apparently safe, and the boiler fire,
which was the only one in the mill, backed up in the usual
way, and having its ordinary appearance. The origin of the
fire must be left to conjecture. Several causes may be as-
signed for it, but nothing positive can be ascertained, though
it is evident it originated near the steam boiler.— Northamp-
ton Herald.

LOST AND FOUND —Last Tuesday the bellman
went through Newport crying a reward for the discovery of
the body of a workman at the factory, supposed to be buried
in the snow, and in a short time after a large body of the
factory workmen, with besoms on shoulder, a la militaire,
were seen marching in steady order, having in the midst
the heavy wet body of their lost and found brother, whom
they bad discovered after a long absence, rioting in the
pleasures of Bacchus, just to keep out the cold, and were
now carrying home in triumph. This public mode of pu-
nishing " absence without leave" from work, and intoxica-
tion, seamed to have even a better effect upon the poor fellow
than the punishment of the police-court.—Monmouthshire

DEATH IN AN OMNIBUS.—On Saturday Mr. T.
Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Nag's Head, New
Compton-street, Soho, on the body of Mr. William King,
aged seventy-one. The evidence proved that the deceased,
who was a native of Oxford, had for some time past resided in
London, and carried on the business of a printer. He had
formerly been a compositor, and was, for some weeks pre-
vious to his demise, sojourning at the Cross Keys Tavern,
Endell-street, Holborn. On Thursday last he went out
about ten in the morning, and got into a Paddington om-
nibus, when he was suddenly taken in a fit, and the rest of
the passengers becoming alarmed, the vehicle was stopped,
but before the deceased could be conveyed to a surgeon's life
was totally extinct. A post .mortem examination proved
death to have been the result of apoplexy. Verdict, "Natural
death.' _

DEATH IN THE SNOVI.—The snow storm, which
has affected the whole country nearly, has been most severely
felt in the vicinity of Bath and Bristol, in which neighbour-
hoods the snow drifts have in many places been very deep
and extensive. In many parts the drifts have been more than
five or six feet in depth. On Thursday, as some persons
were passing up Brentree-hill, in the neighbourhood of
Westbnry-on-Trym, and within two miles of the city of
Bristol, they discovered the body of an aged man, an agricul-
tural labourer, residing in the neighbourhood, nearly buried
in the snow. The body was quite cold and stiff, and he had
evidently been dead for some hours. A loaf of bread was
found under his arm, from which it is conjectured that on the
previous night he must have been making his way up the
hill, and haring been probably overcome with fatigue, and
lost his way, the unfortunate man sank in the snow. and
perished from the inclemency of the weather.
FOREIGN SUPPLIES.—The traffic to and from Rot-
terdam has been open during the past week, even for the
large steamers trading from London to that port, and se-
veral arrivals of cattle and provisions have taken place, as
avlosorrtinfr the
eother Dutch ports, the produce of Holland. No
arrivals• have taken place from Holland at the port of hull
a
past week ; neither have any taken place at that
