FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. B.—The average price of wheat last
week was 211. 44c., and that of rye 21c.
M. Aguado, who arrived a few days ago at Antwerp,
is now at Brussels.

The Minister of the Interior has lately applied to the
cotton merchants at Ghent for their opinion whether it
would be advisable to establish a common and reciprocal
duty of 5 to 10 per cent. on the manufactures of the two
countries on their importation from one kingdom into the
other. The spinners, weavers, and printers of Ghent
have met, and answered, that however formidable the
competition with France might 'be, they would accept
with gratitude any measure which should increase their
marine, and cause a closer intercourse with our southern
neighbours.
. Baron James Rothschild, of Paris, was at Brussels
yesterday. It is said that he is going to enter into a
negotiation relative to an iron railway from -Valenciennes
to Paris.

WILSON TIIE POET, AND TIIE ARTIST OF
WATTY AND MEG.-Most of our local readers, we think,
will have, ere this, seen the statues of Watty and Meg,
and other articles of sculpture, by Mr. Anderson, of
Perth, for some time exhibited here. The man who
could embody the ideas of the poet so vividly, very natu-
rally felt some interest ill the poet himself. Knowing
Paisley to be the place of his birth, he, soon after his
arrival, made inquiry as to the identical spot, and felt
some degree of surprise that not a single memorial could
be found of the man whose name was so celebrated on
both sides of the Atlantic. ' Resolving to remedy this,
he asked,
Perth, and obtained permission from the proprietors
of the house in which Wilson was born, to put a slab in
the wall, to mark the time and place of his birth and
death. This slab he is at present bringing with him from
in order that it may be chiselled here.—Paisley
Advertiser.
Lords Stafford, Carew, Acheson, and Fingall,
have signified their intention of taking part in the great
national demonstration to Lord Morpeth.—Limerich Re-
