FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.—The Precurseur of Antwerp says,
" It is with great regret that we have to announce to-
day, that one of our first mercantile houses, that of
Messrs. J, C. and Co., has just been obliged to stop
payment. The esteem which is enjoyed by the bead of
this house, authorises us to announce that this affair will
be settled by an amicable arrangement."
Ilre arc assured a very serious dissension manifested
itself at :Luxemburg, between the Prussian garrison and
the inhabitants of the city, when the news of the new
retificrtion of the treaty of the Bth of August was
known there.
The irritation of the Prussians is said to have been
caesed chiefly by the address of the magistrates of the
ei:y, in which they congratulate his Majesty on having
relieved the province from foreign domination.

" The Austrian Government," says a letter from
Vienna. of the 16th of September, " has formed the
gigantic plan of building at the eastern extremity of this

which is to be provided at the outset with ill the ree,Ti-
, site iu'Aie building;, such as churches, residence of the
Goveenor, "..e2ourt ofLJustiec, Exchange, Theatres, Me-
! semi), &c.
' This town is to .called Feedinandstadt. The plans
are already made by the Chevalier Forster, architect of
the Court, who, before he submits them to the Govern-
ment, intends to communicate them to the principal Aca-
demician of the Fine Arts in Europe, with a request to
give their opinion.
ANTWERP, ()cr. 4.—Yesterday afternoon a lady ar-
ilving from Brussels, in this city, had her portmanteau
aad all her effects seized by the officers of the Octrui, at
the grate. The seizure was made because some meat
was found in the portmanteau.
Tne: HAGUE, OCT. S.—From the report of the Cen-
tral Section of the Second Chamber of the States-General
on the Budget for 1842 and 1843, it appears that it pro-
poses a reduction in several, items, amounting in the
whole, for 1842 to 278,200 if., and for 1843 to 293,0001 i. ;

HOUSE OF LORDS, Oct. 7.
Parliament was this day prorogued by
.Commission,
with
.the .usual formalities. . There . having been no
.publiaunnouncement of the period at which the proro-
gation of Parliament would take place there were very
few strangers present. There were about twenty ladies
in the body of the House, and about the same number of
Peers, among whom we observed the Duke of Bucking-
ham, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Ellenborough,
alui Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Ripon, the Bishop of
Worcester, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord
Stanley, &c.
At TWo o'Clock prayers were read by the Bishop of
Worcester.
• Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from an in-
dividual, complaining of the state of the law respecting
the coinage; also a petition from the British and Foreign
Anti-Slavery Society, praying for the abolition of slavery
in India ; and a petition from Edward Rickman,
a member.of the Society of Frieniss complaining of the
dissipation, excitement, and corruption which prevailed
at theslate contested' election. He hoped the subject
would meet with their Lordships' attention, and that
they 'nights be induced, during the recess, to apply
their minds to it, with the view of giving sup-
port to the proposition which he, or some other
Noble . Lord, would bring forward on the subject.
He .field tlia candidate in this'case to be.the guilty party,
because; since theßeform Bill, he could not plead ig-
norance of the bribery that was taking place.' Every
one knew that the second, if not the first question, that
was put to every candidate was, how much the election
would cost ? It gave him great satisfaction, however,
to add, that, although bribery and intimidation, which.
next to bribery, was most to be complained of at those
elections, hatj been very rife of .late,_ there had been
some most brilliant exceaations. He knew of aloe case
in which a person lost his election by one vote, and re-
fused to be a party to the means by which that voter,
who had gone.,fsom him to his adversary, might have
been brought back, preferring to lose the, seat, which he
did lose, •to being a party to any such conduct. There
was another instance' which could not be too highly
commended. He referred to his Noble Friend, the son
of the author of the Reform Bill (Lord Howick), who
had been engaged-in two contested elections. He had
taken means to-prevent any illegal act, because he had
come forward and said he would neither allow his in-
fluence to be used,, nor thank any friend of his who
woald use that influence; and he also freed all those over
whom he had any influence from all obligation to vote for
Lim.With regard to intimidation at elections, he should ob-
serve that in his opinion it was all but as bad as bribery.
He held that any person whatever whether a Priest,
a Peer, or a Prince, or the agent of a Priest, a Peer, or a
Prince, who interfered for the purpose of preventing a
man from the free exercise of the franchise, did a cri-
minal act. He said that because the law declared that
the franchise should be left uncontrolled in the hands of
electors. In his (Lord Brougham's) belief it was an of-
fence by the laws of England to threaten a voter either
with a loss of his tenement, or any other loss, if he did
not vote in a particular way ; and if in the opinion of any
one it was not an offence indictable by law, he hoped that
another Session would rot paSs without its being made
indictable either for a priest to threaten a voter with a
refusal of the rights of religion, or for a landlord to
threaten a voter with the loss of his tenement, or for a
courtier to threaten a voter with a loss of Court custom.
There could be no doubt but a public officer, even now,
who interfcrtd with the rights of electors, was guilty of
an offence for which he was punishable. Ho would
close his observations on this subject by giving another
instance of a refusal on the part of a candidate
unduly to influence constituents. It was re-
corded in the history of the Court of George
the Third, that a Noble Person being a candidate
for the borough of Windsor, at a very early period
of his publia life, refused to allow the Court tradesmen
to:be spoken to by any of the officers of the Household,
and thus risked the loss of their votes. A complaint
haVing been made to the King upon the subject by one
of those officious persons who are always to be
found at Court, or elsee here, his Majesty sent
for that Noble Person, and said to him, " You
did quite right ; it was much better for you
to lose a few votes than that my tradesman should be
influenced by the officers of my Household." The case
be referred to derived an additional interest from the
consideration of the character of the Noble Candidate.
That candidate was the brother of his Noble Friend op-
posite (the Duke of Wellington), then Lord Morning-
ton, now Marquis of Wellesley ; and that was the sus-
picioua commencement of a public life, which had since
shone with so surpassing a lustre. The Noble and
Learned Lord concluded by moving that the petition be
laid on the table of the House.
EXPOR'rATION OF MACHINERY.
Bii T. FREMAXTLE and other Members brought up
flaMi- the Hisuse of' Com Mons a copy of the Second Re-
port of the SelectsCenussittee appsantesl. last Session-to
inquire into the existing state of Abe law 'respecting-Ma-
clonery. The Report was ordered to be printed.
Lord FOLEY presented a petition from Bristol, pray-
ing for the repeal of the Corn-laws.
The Commissioners, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke
otWelling-ton, the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl of
Wharnclitils and the Earl of Shaftesbury having taken
their seats upon the 'Woolsack in front of the Throne,
Sir Augustin Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, was
diteeted to summon the Commons to the Bar ; and shortly
afterwards the Speaker, attended by a large body of
Members, appeared at the Bar, when the Royal Assent
was given in the House to the following Bills : -
The Exchequer Bills Funding Bill ; The Exchequer
Bills Appropriation Bill ; the Poor-law Commission
Continuance Bill ; and the Population Payments Bill.
PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then read the follow-
ing Speech delivered by the Commissioners, in the name
of her Majesty :
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN

" We are commanded by her Majesty to ac-
quaint you that it appears advisable to her

Majesty to bring to a close the present Session
of Parliament.

"Iu conformity with the advice of her Parlia-
ment, and in pursuance of the declared inten-

tions of her Majesty, her Majesty has taken the
requisite measures for the formation of a New

Administration, and the arrangements for that
purpose have been completed by her Majesty.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
" We have it in command from her Majesty to
thank you for the Supplies which you have
granted to her Majesty for those branches
of the public service for which complete provi-
sion had not been made by the late Parliament.

" My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
" The measures which it will be expedient to
adopt for the purpose of equalising the Public
Income and the Annual Expenditure, and other

important objects connected with the Trade and
Commerce of the country will necessarily oc-
cupy your attention at an early period after the
Recess.

" Her Majesty has commanded us to repeat the
expression of her deep concern at the distress

which has prevailed for a considerable period in
some of the principal manufacturing districts, and
to assure you that You may rely upon the cordial
concurrence of her Majesty in all such measures
as shall appear, after mature consideration, best
calculated to prevent the recurrence of that dis-
tress, and to promote the great object of all her
Majesty's wishes—the happiness and content-
ment of her people.'
The Clerk having read the Commission proroguing
Parliament,
