FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 3. —The Chamber of Representa-
tives continued the discussion of the budget of the Ma-
rine, which commenced yesterday. After the new ex-
planations given by M. Veydt and the Minister for Fo-
reign Affaira, tending to prove that the Government
and the Colonisation Company, had given, and were
still ready to give, to the colonists who desired to retnrn
to Belgium, all desirable facilities to return home, M.
Sigart consented to withdraw the amendment which he
proposed yesterday.
s
M. de Broue Rene warmly recommended to the Go-
vernment the idea of establishing a commercial factory,
instead of a colony, in Guatamaia. He al;. ured it of
his concurrence, if it presented to the Legislm!ure an
application for a vote of credit fur such a useful esta-
blishment, and held out the hope that the Chamber of
Representatives would second it with pleasure.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that a
company, whose object had already received the appro-
bation of the Chamber of Commerce of Ghent and Ant-
werp, was about to be formed, to establish at St. Thomas
a commercial factory, and that it asks from Government
no other assistance, than the establishment of a com-
munication by steam-boat between Antwerp and St.
Thomas. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

In the debate on the articles of the budget, M. Osy
proposed that Government should sell the unservice-
able gun-boats, and some regulations relative to
the navigation of the Scheldt. M. Osy called on the
Government for some explanation respecting the manner
in which the Belgian flag is considered in Russia, as re-
gards the application of the duties of customs.
The Minister replied, that the remonstrance of Bel-
gium having failed to obtain from the Russian Govern-
ment a better treatment of our flag, the Belgium Govern-
ment was considering what measures should be adopted.
At length the Chamber voted the whole budget of the
Marine, by a majority of 61 to 4.
The Chamber finished the sitting by voting, with only►
three dissentient voices, the project of law for continu-
ing, for one year, the provisional distribution of the
land-tax.

M. Claes de Semberg has made numerous trials of the
process, invented in Germany, for making cheap bread,
by mixing wheat flour with rasped beetroot. These
trials have perfectly succeeded ; the poor families, to
whom M. Claes has distributed some of the bread, have
declared that they liked it quite as well as the ordinary
second bread.

A letter from Cologne, of the Ist, says—" This morn-
ing, at ten o'clock, Mr. Schuarzer, the chief editor of
the Austrian Lloyd, arrived here. This gentleman, 115
we know, has undertaken personally to organise the
more rapid arrival of the Indial mail through Germany.
M. Schuarzer himself arrived by this mail. The steamer
which conveyed the dispatches from Alexandria to
Trieste, performed the voyage in six days and a half,
in very stormy weather, which delayed the voyage a
whole day. The courier was sixty hours on the way
from from Trieste to Manheim. M. Schuarzer, who received
the letters at Manheim, was sixteen hours and a half on
the way from Mauheim to Cologne. After waiting a
quarter of an hour, he set out with the seeona train in
the morning for Ostend. whpro the .team-boat.resey
for him, so that he will be at London early to-morrow
morning, the 2d of December."
BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—The Chamber of Representatives
commenced to-day the g( aeral discussion of the budget
of Ways and Means. Before entering on the discussion,
the Chamber received from the Minister of Finance the
communication of a project of law, modifying the law
of the 21st of July, 1844, relative to the differential
duties. The Chamber referred this project of law to
the Permanent Committee of Manufactures.
The departure of the King from his estate at Ar-
dennes yesterday (Thursday), has been announced by
mistake ; there is no such intention at present.
A letter from Berlin, in the Nuremberg Correspondent.,
says it is affirmed that the affairs of Cracow were not
discussed in the Council of State, but that it was the
Prince of Prussia who, in his late visit in Austria, con-
structed the negotiations, and corresponded directly with
the King. The Cabinet Ministers and the Councillors of
State had no knowledge of them.
VIENNA, Nov. 27.—The Grand Duke Alexander
Crown Prince of Russia, has just arrived here, at one
o'clock in the afternoon. The Prince had scarcely
alighted from his travelling carriage, when he immedi-
ately hastened to visit her Imperial Highness the Grand
Duchess Helen, his aunt, who is still here.
LEINBURG, Nov. 21.—Thirty-one persons, who were
concerned in the conspiracy at Przieemisl in the year
1842, received yesterday, in the Town-hall, their sen-
tence, which has been passed on them. The criminals
consisted of officers, subalterns, cadets, and privates, of
different regiments. Two officers, probably ringleaders,
were in the first instance condemned to death, but their
punishment was commuted to twenty years imprison-
ment in a fortress ; a regimental chaplain to twelve
years imprisonment ; the cadets, subalterns, and pri-
vates to work on the fortifications for different periods
of eight, ten, and more years ; one officer and a private
were acquitted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
There was a good deal of heavy betting on a few of
the Derby favourites, and not without some effect on th•
prices. Van Tromp had two or three friends present,
but an outlay of upwards of 8001. at 15 to 2 and 8 to 1,
including a bet of 1600 to 200 laid outside, anything but
improved his position, the last transaction being 1200 to
150; the layers were in a decided majority. Planet was
backed at 25 to 1 in the early part of the afternoon, and
at the close at 20 to 1. but only to a small sum. The
Liberator was in great force, his owner having in a brief
space invested nearly 8001. at 50 to 1. Wanota was
also in favour, at 40 to 1, taken as long as any one would
lay it. 1000 to 20 was taken five or six times, and 1000
to 25 once, about Red hart. 1000 to 30 about Lune-
dale. 1000 to 20 two or three times about The Cossack,
&c., &c. 1400 to 200 was laid agst John Scott's lot, at
least a point more than the market price; we doubt,
indeed, if 6 to 1 could have been obtained afterwards.
7to 1 was offered agst John Day's lot. The following
quotations are made up to the close of the rooms:—

MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.—TiIiS eminent young
actress has just forsaken the Jewish persuasion and be-
come a convert to the Roman Catholic religion. She
will in a few days be baptized by the Archbishop of
Paris, Madame Recamier and the Duke de Noailles be-
ing her godmother and godfather. The Duke will pre-
sent his goddaughter on the occasion with a bouquet of
diamonds worth 2.000/.—Siecle of Saturday.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—It is
asserted that, on and after the Ist of January next, no
goods trains are to run on the line of the London and
North-Western Railway during the day, arrangements
being in progress for conducting most, if not the whole,
of the traffic during the night. To facilitate this object,
and enable the directors to run additional trains during
the day, the company intend to take the carrying busi-
ness into their own hands after the above date,••►Aria'c
