BRUSSELS, JULY 22.—M. de Saint Aignon, Prefect
of the Department of the North, has just made a long
visit to the line of works on the iron railway from Lille
to the frontiers, which he has examined in detail. This
Magistrate is expected at Valenciennes, where he is to
make a similar inspection. It seems that the superior
authorities are desirous that the works should proceed
with as much activity as they do in Belgium, and that
the Minister of Public Works requires the reports of the
means of execution of what has actually been done, and
of the activity of the several contractors for the works.
The Journal de Smyrne says, that those who know the
East will not believe the articles of the Courrier Belge,
which announce the approaching fall of the Ottoman
empire. Well, we say just the contrary. It is only
those who do not know the East, that think the continued
existence of that empire possible. M. Chabert Ostland,
the most learned Orientalist in Europe, who was born at
Constantinople, and who formed all the celebrated
Orientalists of Austria, said a few days before his
death, which occurred in March this year, " that the
Ottoman empire would not long survive him; that it was
already placed under Christian tutelage ; and would soon
sink under the progress of internal dissensions, which have
become inevi table." For the veracity of other facts we appeal
to the unimpeachable testimony of the illustrious Ham-
mer Purgstall, the historian of the Ottoman empire, and
the pupil of Chabert Ostland, who assuredly was not a
visionary.

The Moniteur Beige contains a Royal ordinance, by
which the Order of Leopold is conferred on Mr. Robert
Stephenson, engineer, of London, as a testimony of his
Majesty's satisfaction with the improvements which he
has made in locomotive engines, which improvements
have turned to the advantage of the Belgian Iron rail-
ways. • • •
The late heavy rains have done immense damage.
Most of our rivers have overflowed their banks. The
hayricks already in the field have been mostly swept
away. On Sunday the 18th great damage was done in
several places by a hurricane.
