FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 30.—The editor of the Monitenr
states filar, in giving the price of rye in the last repot,
ftorn the 18th to the 25th of October, there was an
error in saying it was 16f. 03c. per hectolitre. The
price was only 14f. 60c. Thus there was a fall of
72e. upon the price of the preceding week.
The determination of the Bank i 3 highly approved
here; far from thinking it unnecessary, we wish that
it had come forward more promptly, by which much
evil would have been averted. Nothing can be more
evident than that the large houses are able to stand
and meet their demands • not only the small ones in
the country will do the same, but that the whole
commercial world is influenced thereby.
This we know is not the first time by any means
that a Government has stepped forward at such a
time. In 1831, for instance, the French Govern-
ment came to the aid of the merchants by a loan of
several millions. In 1846 and 1847 the Austrian
Government put a stop to the powerful crisis in rail-
ways by purchasing a large number of shares on its
own account. We may confidently hope that as we
have been partially affected by the distress of our
English neighbours, so we may experience the results
of the favourable change there.
VIENNA, OCT. 23.—The stopping of the Liverpool
bank has had a bad effect on Bourse to-day ; the
advices from London also continue unfavourable, and
one of the first houses is said to have been obliged to
discount (it is affirmed the sum of 400,0001.) at nine
per cent. at the London Bank. Although there is a
good deal of anxiety on our Bourse, we are, however,
very steady, and the only thing we can wish is that
the corn prices may fall, as this will obviate much
evil. The harvest was so unusually luxuriant, and
yet prices maintained themselves this week, wheat at
151 to 1611. per inetzen; rye, of which there
were very large amounts, a little lower than last
market day.
KoracisiauaG, OCT. 25.—Nothing whatever was
doing in the corn market in consequence of the un-
favourable reports from England and Holland, and
the prices have fallen considerably.
DANTZIC, OCT. 25.—Very slight variations have
taken place here last week ; the prices for rye, which
had fallen, remained steady. The prices of spirits has
risen again. We have had very unsettled weather ;
sunshine, wind, and rain alternating with each other,
but the temperature has been extremely pleasant.
BERLIN, OCT. 27.—The money crisis in England
causes daily fluctuations here. In consequence of
the sums of gold forwarded to Hamburgh and Lon-
don the Friedricks-d'or and the Louis d'or, which had
risen respectively to 1-3 and f, suddenly fell last
week 1 per cent., which is quite an unheard of
event in our money market. The Hamburgh Bank,
which had sent quantities of gold bars to London,
has therefore required transmissions of silver from
Berlin.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 28.—8 y a royal decree of the
29th September it is stipulated that the decree of the
6th October, 1840, relative to the distillery of potatoes
shall continue in force till the 15th October, 1848.
THE CHOLERA IN M05C014.6.-.ST. PETERSBURGU,
OCT. 21.—The report that the cholera had broken
out in Moscow has, we are sorry to say, been con-
firmed. Fifteen persons, viz., eleven men and four
women, have been seized with it. They belong
chiefly to the lower classes, and had been previously
ill from eating fruit, and being exposed to the wea-
ther; of these fifteen persons nine have died. A
week before it appeared at Moscow a case occurred at
Serpuchoff, in the Government of Moscow, for a
traveller from Woronesch, who arrived there on the
23d September, sickened and died soon after. The
case, however, remained isolated, and from the re-
ports received by the Minister of the Interior it ap-
pears that, independently of the cases which have
occurred in Moscow, the epidemic has not shown
itself in any other part of the Government of the
same name.

Accounts from Warsaw state that the Emperor
Nicholas left that city on the 17th October, on his
return to St. Petersburgh.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 13.—Our local journal as-
sorts as a positive fact, that a dispatch has arrived here
from St. Petersburgh, fully approving of the last step
of the Porte in regard to the Turco-Greek differences,
viz., the demand made that the Greek Cabinet shall
make a personal apology to M. Mussurus, and the
enforcement of the compulsory measures in the event
of the refusal of the Greek Cabinet. The same journal
likewise states that a Russian note has also been re-
ceived at Athens, urgently recommending the speedy
termination of the dispute with the Porte, and the
adoption of decisive measures for the prevention or
suppression of the disorders in the interior.
PRAGUE, OCT. 23.—The works of the viaduct at
Karolenthall are proceeding rapidly. Eight large
arches of the two bridges from Jerusalem to Hertz
Island, and from thence to the left bank of Moldavia,
as well as eight arches on Hertz Island, and 27 from
the Causeway to the ICALvelin, are *Already finished.
On the whole there are 44 arches already completed.
The other 16 are being worked at with great rapidity,
and some are nearly ready. Two other large build-
ings in Karolin, viz., the gasometer, are almost ready.

HAM BURGH MA 0.4.
IaIkIBURGII, OCT. 26.—CommEtamr., MovEmENTs.
—Business on 'Change is very circumscribed; dis-
count 6 per cent. Nothing doing in the funds. Rail.;
way shares were rather higher in the morning, but as
there is no inclination to buy, they closed lower.
BERLIN, OCT. 26.—Funds and railway shares very
animated; the Exchange was rather lower; Berlin
Hamburgh shares, on the contrary, were higher.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 24.—Business of every kind—
funds as well as railway shares—was very flat. Not-
withstanding our continued unfavourable advices
from London, and the decline of the Spanish funds,
there was, however, no change in our Consols. In-
tiguals and Austrian shares were flat.
Bar:H.4lu, OCT. 23.—A. very brisk trade in corn,
especially from Upper Silesia. Bargains were not
only concluded in loco, but for delivery in the spring.
Prices have not been influenced by the increased
business, and remain steady at our last notices :
Wheat, best quality, 96 to 99; Rye, 68 to 70; Bar-
ley, 56 to 58 ; Oats, 28 to 31.
ODESSA, OCT. 4.—A great deal of business has
been doing in the corn trade for the last five days.
The sales amounted to nearly 23,000 chetwerts of
Polish wheat, at 21 to 231 r. ; rye 3,000 chetwerts, at
111 to 121. It can be attributed only to the want of
ready cash that not more business was done, for there
are 100 ships lying in the harbour ready to be
freighted. This circumstance will certainly bring
down the price of freights the 6th October. During
the last two days we have sold nearly 60,000 chet
werts or 150,000 stajas of wheat, at 20 to 25r. ; to-
day the holders ask 26r. This great stir in trade
may be ascribed partly to the number of ships lying
in the harbour ready to be laden, and partly to the
more favourable advices from England, France, and
Belgium. Sales are likewise made beforehand, in the
expectation of orders from abroad, but if these should
fail, there will be a still further reduction in the
prices. If there were more ready money in the
market, bargains would be made on less favourable
terms to the buyers.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—The house of De Poorter
has just stopped payment for the sum of 600,000 f.
M. de Poorter is the inventor of the mechanical
weaving loom, and has hitherto employed 400 work-
men in his manufactory; he is a machinist.
THE CllOLEßA.—Letters from Moscow state that
the cholera has broken out in that city; it is pur-
suing its devastating course along the Volga, and has
already carried off 60,000 victims in Russia. Not-
withstanding all the means used, it seems impossible
to stop its progress. The Government does not con-
sider it contagious.
BERLIN, OCT. 27.—The Prince of Prussia has just
published a letter, in which he states that the reports
which have been so generally in circulation, that it is
the intention of his Majesty the King of Hanover to
form a regency, in the prospect of his Majesty's
lengthened absence, and that the Prince of Prussia
has been requested to be Regent, are without foun-
dation.

HAMBURG'', OCT. 26.--IMPROVEMENT OF THE
FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION.—The first proposition to
be submitted to the Senators will be the improvement
of the system of finance. To effect this a revising
committee will be in the first instance appointed,
which is to consist of three members of the Senate and
of five burghers. The latter are to be chosen, one
from each parish, and the senior is to return every two
years. The budget of the current year, as well

as the state expenditure of the former year, are to be
laid before this Committee, as well as the statement
of the funds destined for further objects. The Re-
N ising Committee has the power to call on the Budget
Committee to give both verbal and written explana-
'.ions. Proposed improvements in the city, which are
provided for from the public money, must likewise be
submitted to this Committee, if it exceeds a certain
sum. The Report of the Revenue Committee shall
in all cases be submitted to the Senate.

PRESENCE OF MIND.—Some few months since We
noticed that the wife of a pensioner named Chadwick,
residing at Matlock Bath, had been the means of saving,
the life of a woman, who, through distress of mind, had
attempted suicide by hanging; and it is a singular fact
that the same aged individual last week was providen-
tially the means of preserving from death the infant of
the woman who had made the rash attempt alluded to.
The child, who was just old enough to run about, bad
strayed into a neighbour's cottage, and there, unPe"
ceived, fallen head foremost into a deep narrow earthen
vessel, locally called a " doshen," which was half fun
of water. It was luckily discovered by old Rhoda AS
the point of suffocation, and rescued from its perilous
position, to all appearance inanimate, when Rhoda, with
i
her usual promptitude and presence of mind, instead.o
raising an alarm or running about to seek remedies, 111
stantly applied such restorative means as common sense
and her own experience dictated, and restored theinfAn6
to consciousness before the mother was even made 50.
quainted with the accident. Rhoda Chadwick, who, as
a soldier's wife, was for many years exposed to the
vicissitudes, hardships, and dangers of the camp, the ~
march, and the battle-field, attained her 80th year la"
Saturday, and during a residence of thirty years In
Matlock Bath, has been a most useful woman among the
middle and poorer classes in cases of sickness or acci-
dent. We bear it is intended by Rhode's neighbours
to present her with some slight testimonial for having,
in the evening of her life, promptly saved from destruc-
tion two of her fellow-creatures.--Derbyshire Courier.
THE BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR RoraDALE.—The
inquest on the people destroyed by the explosion was
concluded on Thursday. The jury brought in a verdict
that " John Leach came by his death accidentally, from
the explosion of the steam-boiler, caused by an undue
pressure of steam; that the safety-valve was defect'°
in construction and neglected in condition; and that it
appeared the mercurial steam-gauge was plugged with
an iron plug', and, consequently, useless." The jell
also expressed their opinion that Richard Bootb, thei
engine-tender, was incompetent for his situation, and
that great blame was attached to those who
such incompetent persons. Similar verdicts were re-
turned in all the other cases.
