FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSIIILS, F". 1.---The Chambers yesterday con •
tinned the discussion of Chapter 111. on Railwar,
which occupied nearly the whole of the sitting. 'I he
Ent article was voted, bat nothing new was advanced
cn the debates on this subject. The Chamber will
Inter upon the discussion of the articles to-morrow.
The choice of a new Minister of Finance, it is said,
:5 becoming more difficult. The Vanderlander looks
upon the passibility of replacing M. Veydt as rather
questionable, and adds, " Many have been applied to,
Jut in "in, and those who desire nothing better than
to have a portfolio had been refused."
It is with much regret that we have to announce
the death of NI. Ellerique, banker at Valenciennes,

that the embarrassed state of his finances led him to

WRTTEREN.— The typhus fever, which at present

of oats and rye, while all other grain, notwith-
standing the consequent rise in Genoa and Leghorn,
continues to decline, and still find but few purchasers.
VIENNA, JAN. 26.—M. Trenzel has been charged
with a mission from Government to Russia, and set
eff for St. Pstersburgh early this morning. Our
monied aristocracy busy themselves with various
conjectures on the existing financial state of our
kingdom, and the depressed condition of the money
market.

GALICIA.—Count Stadion, the Galician Governor,
during his last circuit of the Western Circles of the
province, was everywhere well received, and at the
boundary of each domain horses belonging to loyal
subjects awaited his arrival, i❑ order that his pro-
gressive journey might not be dependent on the
ordinary relays. The conciliatory and unremitting
