BELGIAN PAPERS.

LEGHORN, Nov. 22.—The last attempt to raise the
sunk steam-boat Pollux has failed, and the enterprise is
now given up. The expense incurred by the attempt is
probably not under 200,000 florins. It falls entirely on
the Steam Navigation Company, as the owners of the
money and effects on board the vessels would not consent
to contribute towards it.

The number of persons travelling southwards is very
great. I ,The steamers to Civita Vecchia and Naples are
constantly full. Though stormy voyages are frequent at
this season of the year, travellers prefer them to the ge-
nerally bad accommodation in the inns on the road, and
the shameful conduct of the postillions.
PALERMO, Nov. 16.—The inhabitants of Palermo
still enjoy the pleasure of the presence of the Royal
Family. Every morning his Majesty, without attend-
ants, is seen in a plain great coat, walking in the court
of the Royal Palace, and mingling in the crowd who wait
for him, to present all kinds of petitions, which the King
receives very graciously—quite a new thing here. The
King likewise turns his attention to the public security,
which has been endangered for some weeks in several
parts of the land, by some bands of robbers, who have es-
caped from the forts of Patti or Milaggo, which are used
as prisons.

Besides the audience of ceremony, which his Majesty
gives in tho open air, he likewise gives public audience
once in the week, and private audience every day, in
the Palace. The Sicilians are known to be no friends to
the Neapolitans, and unwillingly bear the government of
the other side of the Jero ; but the affability with which
the King receives every petition, and the rapidity with
which most of them are considered, gain him the hearts
of the people in an extraordinary manner.

THE GLOBE.—In mentioning last week the
exertions of The Sun in forwarding to this place the
earliest account of the Gazette Extraordinary, we had no
intention whatever of doing the least injustice to the
Globe, to which it adverted on Monday last. We now
understand that the Brevet also appeared in a Second
Edition of that Journal, but we can assure our talented
Contemporary, that on inquiry at the News-rooms, Li-
braries, and other places of public resort, we still find
that the copies of the Globe and Standard, which reached
these towns, did not contain the promotions which were
so anxiously looked for at this important naval and mili-
tary station.—Devonport Independent.
