FLANDERS and HAMBURG H MAIL.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 23.—1 t is now positively affirmed
thst his Maj, sty the King of Sweden will arrive here on
the 11 th of July, and stay till the 13th of the same
month. It is also expected that the Crown Prince of
Bavaria will pay us a visit.
A singular report has lately been circulated, namely,
that the discussion of the question of the succession in
the Duchies will be prohibited, with an intimation that
there is at present no grounds for such a discussion. It
is certain, however, that several highly important pro-
jects of law may be expected. But the draft of a penal
code for the Duchies, which has been long in prepara-
tion, will not be brought forward in the approaching Diet.
ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 16.—Among the illustrious
guests expected to be present at the marriage which is
shortly to take place is his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
Consort of Queen Victoria, in return for the visit which the
Emperor paid to the Queen in 1844. Great preparations
are making in Peterhoff and the country seats in the ro-
mantic environs, where the court will pass several
weeks after the marriage of Princess Olga. Accounts,
which, however, are not yet authenticated, state that
the Cholera has appeared in some parts of Russia, and
especially that it has prevailed for some weeks past in
the government of Cranburg, where it must probably
have been introduced by the caravans.
WARSAW, MAY 18.—The disarming of the kingdom
of Poland has lately been carried to much greater ex-
tent ; not only fire-arms, and what are properly called
arms and weapons, are confiscated, but all instruments
which tray be used for cutting and striking, and only
those are allowed which are necessary for the exercise
of some trade or profession. In private houses only or-
dinary table knives and forks are permitted ; but all
carving and kitchen knives are prohibited. The butchers,
who use only large knives and hatchets, are obliged to
declare the number of them to the police, and to have
them stamped. The confectioners, after long petitioning,
have at length obtained permission to have a machine,
which they use for cutting bonbons, and the like.
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, MAY 20.—According to
accounts received to-day from Tarnow, the famous
chief of the peasants, Szelo, (he is 72 years of age),
was at length arrested on the 15th of this month, atter
having been for fourteen days under the surveillance of
the police. This has been known to the public here only
within these two days. The peasants in the country
are said to be much displeased at their lot. The same
time we learn that his son, who lived at Pilzno, and
wrote the orders to the peasants, in his father's name,
is also arrested. The work, in what are called Robetla
days, is, indeed, performed by the peasants for the
Nobles, but the peasants utter the most awful threats
against the Nobles, some of whom, in the circle of Wa-
doweil, do not require any such service.
SILESIA, MAY 23.—An event has lately taken place
in the circle of Nimpt, which resembles what sometimes
happens among the Irish peasantry. A landowner, who
is said to be rather strict in asserting his right, has a
field of very fine rapeseed. In one night the whole was
cut down; the loss is said to be thousand pounds.
—Hamburgh papers, 29th May.
BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—The Senate is convoked for
Thursday, the 4th of June.
At the opening of the sitting of the Chamber of
Representatives to-day, some observations were made
relative to the social matters to be put in the orders of
the day, viz., to the free importations of provisions. to
the Mint, and to the convention with France. The
Chamber then continued the debate on the project of
law respecting the canal of Deynze.
We find from the Journal de la Haye, that the King
of the Netherlands has left that capital for Wiemar,
before the last arrangements relative to our commercial
differences were finally settled.
The English Minister at Brussels gave a grand dinner
in honour of the birthday of her Majesty Queen Victoria.
All the members of the diplomatic body, except the
Swedish Minister, were present, and all the members of
the cabinet. His Majesty's household was represented
by Lieut. General Count d'Havre de Steenhuyse, and M.
Van Prael, his Majesty's Secretary. After dinner there
was a grand reception from the diplomatic body, the
ministers, and all the persons of distinction presented.
The facade of the Hotel of the British Legation was
illuminated.
BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—The Chamber of Representatives
continued to-day the debate on the project of law relative
to the canal from Drynze to Schipdonk.
The King has given audience to-day to a great num-
ber of persons.
The Russian brig, Saina, Captain Leffiey, which left
Antwerp on the 21st of this month, in ballast, had put in
at four o'clock in the afternoon, and was at anchor in
the road of Turneuse. On the 22d at eleven at night,
the captain, who was in bed, was thrown against the
deck by an explosion which caused him to receive some
bruises. The men had placed a quantity of gunpowder
(supposed to be about 12 lbs.), under his bed, to which
they contrived to apply a match. Happily the powder
was not placed precisely under the place where the
captain slept, so that he happily escaped with some
slight contusions on his arms and legs, and was thrown,
without any other accident, against the roof of his
cabin. The Russian Consul will investigate the
matter. Some persons are arrested. Another crew
will be engaged, and in a few days the Saima will sail
In the cabin everything is broken to pieces by the ex
plosion.—Brussels paper, May 30.

S3UTH DEVON RAILWAY.
This line of railway, the opening of which from
various causes has been so long delayed, and which was
originally intended to have been worked upon the atmos-
pheric principle, was CM Saturday opened as a locomotive
line. The day was a remarkably fine one, and was
celebrated as a holyday along the course of the line,
which runs through a most picturesque and romantic
portion of the country. The line, starting from Exeter,
passes along some meadows and follows the course of the
Exe, giving some magnificent views of the city of Exeter,
the extensive estuary of the Exe, the towns of Topsham,
Lympstone, and Exmouth in the distance. On the other
side of the river, as you progress along the line, are seen
Powderham-park and castle, the seat of his Grace the
Duke of Devonshire. After passing the Starcross-station,
the appearance of the line becomes still mere romantic,
for you are carried apparently through the sea, the line
running close to the mouth of the Exe ; it then runs
into a very deep cutting through the Lang-stone cliffs,
which are seen towering upwards of 100 feet above you.
Dawlish, you come to that portion of the
