BuussELs, JAN. 6.—The average price of wheat in
the week ending on Saturday, the 3d of January, was
23f. 80c., and that of rye, 18f. 23c.
A Ghent journal states that the dike of the canal of
Terneuzer from the Custom-house to Meulestede, is in
danger of giving way to the impetuosity of the currents
of the Lys and the Scheldt, which overflow the ditches of
the town from the Bruges-gate to that of the Sas. The
agents of the department of bridges and highways have
taken every measure to prevent such an event. On
Sunday night the dike near St. Gelles (in the district of
Wiles) gave way. A part of the commune is under water.
The King of Prussia, following the example given by
the King of Bavaria, has resolved, in consideration of
the high price of provisions, to grant to the subaltern
officers an addition of 25 per cent. to their salaries
during the first six months of 1846.
A letter from Frankfort of the 3d, says, " This morn-
ing the melancholy intelligence was spread here of a
collision between two locomotives on the railway near
Mannheim. The number of persons killed or wounded
is said to amount to forty."
ANTWERP, JAN. 7.—The Government of the King of
the Netherlands has just published a decree raising the
import and export duties on a number of articles, both
national productions and manufactures. The Journal
de la Haye does not attempt to conceal the fact that the
decree is positively directed against Belgium, but it ap-
pears to us that in the end it will fall with its whole
might on the Dutch communes. The war of tariff is a
two edged sword, which requires skill in wielding it.
Thd Belgian Government knows henceforth what it is
to expect from the Dutch Government. As for us we
see nothing except a treaty of commerce which can put
an end to a state of things which is contrary to the in-
terests of the two nations, and we believe that the actual
hostility is only a prelude to it.

In our list of railways that had complied with the
standing orders of the House of Commons, which appeared
in The Sun of Wednesday, we omitted to mention the Grand
Union.

THE ROYAL STAG HOUNDS.—The meet on Wed-
nesday, 'which was numerously attended, took place at Bea-
consfield. Amongst those who were present were his Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by Mr.
George Wombwell, the Earl of Rosslyn, and several military
officers from Windsor. The deer Red Rose, its second ap-
pearance in public, upon being uncarted at Holtspur Gate,
took away at the back of the town of Beaconsfield, through
Mr. Dupre's park, out into the London road, where it
doubled to the left to Gould-hill and Chalfont-grove, and
thence, crossing the brook, between the two Chalfonts, to
Gravel-farm, on to the Pheasant at Chalfont St. Giles's. The
deer then made away for the Vetch, in the direction of
Charley Wood Common, doubling to the right to Newland-
park, where, after running a ring, and then om to Horden-hill,
between Chalfont St. Peter's and Rickmanswortb, it was there
taken after a very capital run of an hour and three quarters.
Prince George of Cambridge, the Earl of Rosslyn, and a
great portion of the field were well placed at the finish. The
meet on Monday last, appointed to take place at New Lodge,
Winktield, was postponed in consequence of the frost.
D EATII BY THE FALL OF A WALL.—An inquest
was held on Thursday by Mr. Baker on the body of a boy,
named Henry Francis, aged ten years, who was killed on
Tuesday last by a wall falling on him, at Mr. Gittor's,
chemical instrument manufactory, St. George's. The boy
had been playing with a truck outside the premiseswall accidentally fell and crushed him to pieces. Verdict,
when the
" Accidental death."
THE MAMMOTH HORSE.—Several noblemen and
gentlemen, who have taken their friends and families to see
the astonishing monster horse at the
Egyptian Hall, have
expressed great regret at the absence of the gentleman ama-
teur riding-master, whose courtier-like conduct iyon
hearts; all
it is reported he has lost his own. Great inquiries
are made for him—by is
will soon return to his disconsolate friends. The horse itself
even sorrows!
