The accounts from Belgium are highly favourable "as
regards the state of political feeling both in the Cham-
bers and among the public. The state of mercantile
affairs at Antwerp is very unfavourable, and the Mi-
nister of Finance had declared his indisposition to allow
a postponement of mercantile payments, because of the
unfavourable impression which would be thereby ex-
cited abroad.
There are advices from Sydney of November 9, when
the colony was progressing satisfactorily.
The political news by the Overland Nail is favourable,
but commercial affairs were very unsettled owing to the
failure of the Union Bank.
