FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS. APRIL distribution of the in-
flammatory pamphlets of which we have spoken, shows
that many agents were employed, and much money
spent. Thi: distribution was 1:ot confined to Ghent and
Brussels, but was made at the same time among the
workmen employed on the railway from Liege to Namur.
This we know for certain. We are assured besides that
copies of the same pamphlet have teen seen at Ande-
paerde.
His Hajesty's Attorney-General went to Ghent on
the 12th, in order to cause several persons to be ar-

rested.
M. Parys, printer at Brus,els, has been ,-;et at liberty,
because he at once delivered up from whom he received
the painphle, which he printed, and by whom he was
patd for so doing. In consequence of the declaration of
M. I'arys, M. Pellerin, the shoemaker, has been arrested.
We have received the following particulars from
Ghent, which may be considered as authentic
" The author of the pAmphlet is a young man, twenty-
six) ears of age, named Lahiaux, a rnerehari;'s traveller,
who lives at Molenbuk-Saint-Jeon. He went to dis-
tribitte the pamphlet at Ostend, Brutes, and Ghent,
where he was arrested. He had employed the printer
Verbbar, who has been arrested at the same time as
Limself.

" Four other persons of Ghent, to whom Labiaux had
given qtrlntities of his pamphlets to be distributed among
the people, are also arrested. These six persons, es-
corted by some gens d'armes, were immediately conveyed
from Gent to Brussels by a special trait,. The same
train hrottght back !he Attorney-General and the Ver-
irk,. Commissary of Police at Ghent."—Moniteur Belge,
April 14.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 14 L'Argane des Flanders con-
firms the informaTion which has been tran*mittt d to us
respecting the arrests which have taken place at Ghent
on ~cttoutit, of the pamphlet.
" Our working ciasses would certainly not have suf-
fered themselves to he taken in the snare whieh misera-
ble agitators laid for them. At the head of these agita-
tors is a person whom the Court of Assize of it:asv rn
Flanders has been for some time in search of,
and who has hitherto escaped by flight the earth that
was made for him. Tilts is Labiaux, a merchant's
clerk, who was accused before that Court as accomplice
in he fraudulent bankruptcy, imputed to M. Stalins-
Vermeulin. of Renaix. lle was arrested yesterday in
our city. It was soon afterwards ascertained that he
was the author of the trunphlet in question; his own
confession has confirmed the suspicions that were enter
twined of him.

GHENT, APRIL 12.—The Messager de Ghent says—
" The appeal to the people which vv:is distributed in im-
mense numbers in our city on Friday evening, invited
the workmen to a general mewing aSa Plan e Yen-
drc-di. on Easter Mondsky, at 10 o'clock in the morning.
At the hour when we are going to press this place is
crowded with curious spectators. .All is quiet and it is
hoped that the day will pass over without any blameable
excesses, the only result of which would be fatal colli-

sions, whleh our population, &imp so ca!m, have tit
greatest-in!errst to aviid."

We, find the fulinwing passage in the Journ'd des
Flandres

" At the time of our going to press some suspicious-
looking persons. are beginning to take up the pavements
in the Place du Vendredi. We hope that the authorities
will promptly interfere to do justice to these wretched
disturbers of public tranquillity."
The King arrived from his seat at Ardennes, on
Saturday afterrloon, at the Palace f Lacken.

FRENCH ROMANCES.—We really begin to believe there
is no such person as Abd-el-Rader. Like M. Thiers' Consu-
late et r Empire, he is nothing better than a clever fiction.
Let us ask what proof is there of his existence, further than
the but rinsof Marshal Bugeaud ? Take away Abd-eIK
and you shoot his horse for ever. Besides, if
there is no Abd-el-Kader, there is an end

auction-rooms
pn-srtoooms of New York ; I had been in them before, but
long—l stopped half an hour to-day. These
Fates are for goods by wholesale ; and certainly, if any
English merchant could have seen the rapidity with which
his goods were knocked down at the most arbitrary prices,
but rarely, very rarely, good prices, he would be staggered
in his desire to send further co-signments. Yorkshire wool-
len cloths were selling when I went in, and during my stay:
I ant no great judge of them, but I should be inclined to
say, from what I could judge, that all were so!d at a loss--
and some at a great loss. A nice superfine broad cloth, the
colour "invisible green," as it is called, was knocked off in
about a minute or a minute and a half, at 214 dollars per
yard, and would net about 6s. 9d. to the exporter, as this.
price, course. must pay all duties and charges. Other
things (woollen) went in proportion, varying from 11% to
21/2 dollars per yard. They are seldom mote than a minute
in knocking down a lot ; and these sales are always under-
stood to be bona fide, i. e., there is no buying in again. There
were ten or a dozen who seemed to have come as buyers,
and as many more lookers on. It is impossible to describe
in writing the quick volubility of the auctioneer; but the
language is something like this :—A fine piece of superfine
broad death, gentlemen, invisible green; who will make me
a bid for this cloth ?—a beautiful cloth, gentlemen, I want
a bid—a bid—a bid—a bid—a bid—a bid. What shall I
say, gentlemen, what shall I say ? One dollar and a half is
gentlemen—one—one and a half—one and a half—one and a
half—only one and a half, gentlemen—going, going, going at
one and a half—one dollar sixty cents, one sixty, one sixty,
one sixty, one seventy, one seventy-five, one seven-eights,
one seven-eights," &c. & ; and so he goes on until, in
double quick time, down it comes at two dollars, perhaps.
In gthida which are not so expensive, the lots are put up in
eight or ten pieces, or gum ter:_, or half cases, &c. ibis auc-
tion system is much reprobated by the respectable merchants
of New York. The British consEgner, nowever, must always
remember, that if he waits to sell his goods immediately,
the auction-ro ,m is the only place for that purpose—and he
must take his chance accordingly • for if once offered fit
a!,,•tion, It goods are not to be withdrawn.—Memoir of B.
Bradley. En.
