FLANDERS MAIL

BRUSSELS, OCT. 5.—A letter from Ostend of the 4th
of October says ,the English steamer the Garland, Cap-
tain Suntheel, which came to Ostend on the 19th Sept.
expressly' to wait for the India Mail, received on the
2nd of October orders from its Government to return to
England. The Garland had scarcely left our pert on
Friday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon—was;hardly out of
sight, when the India Mail arrived by the railway. It
was immediately sent on board the Princess Alice
steamer, Captain Scriven, and forthwith proceeded to
Dover with all expedition. For the first time the dis-
patchs from India, that is to say those •of the Govern-
ment and of the merchants, have reached England by
the way pf Belgium, passing through Germany for
Ostend.

Yesterday morning, a little before high mass, in the
Church of St. Jacques, Mr. Caudenburg, a than of lofty
stature, with his hair falling below his shoulders, a red
beard, which fell over his breast, and dressed in a red
blouse, having in his hand a large white bat, and a cane,
representing a crucifix, with a grave and solemn
step entered the building, and advanced to the
foot of the high altar. The beadle pursued him,
and endeavoured to stop him, but was vio-
lently pushed aside. A vicar then addressing him,
sought, with great mildness, to induce him to retire, but
he immediately fell into a passion, declaring that he was,
God, and threatened the crowd who had gathered round
him in order 'to remove hits. With great difficulty, he
was carried out of the church, when the police took this
unfortunate madman and conveyed him to the Amigo.
It is said that this man spoke several languages, alter-
nately German, Italian, Spanish, and French.
A letter from lionigsburgh, of the 26th of September,

a young
Jewish physician of our city, who was going to
marry a Christian, could not obtain permission from
the Government to consent to their union. Mr.
Talkson has just had his marriage' solemnised at
Trinity Church, Hull, and having returned to our city
required that the certificate of his marriage should
inserted in the registers, a formality which the la* de
mands from all Prussians who marry in foreign coun-
mos. He was informed, in reply, that this insertion
could not be made, because marriages between Jews and
Christians were not recognised in Prussia, that they did
not possess a legal character, and that the children of
such marriages were considered as illegitimate. Mr.
Talkson has addressed a remonstrance on the subject to
the Government.
LEMBERG, SEPT. 18.—We learn from the i3urnal of
the Austrian Lloyd that the agricultural reports from
several parts of Galicia are very unfavourable. The
want of water which succeeded the long drought has
had a most baneful effect upon the cattle and caused
much disease among them.
Added to this is the lamentable failure of the potato
crop. In the uplands this disease attacks the entire
potato, so that it is utterly unfit for use;; and in the
plains, although this disease is not so prevaent, the crop
is, nevertheless, very scanty, and the potato small.
BRAILA, SEPT. 7.—The wheat which we have been
obliged to import has suffered much from the damp, and
we have been compelled to send to Calafat for a fresh
supply.

IiEGERSBERG, SEPT. 29.—Our magistrates have issued
a proclamation containing this resolution, that the poor
inhabitants shell have good rye bread under the tariff
prices during the present distress.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS .-.-. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT.
B.—The Madrid steam-ship, Captain Bingham, with the
Peninsular mails, has just made her appearance in the
river. She is somewhat late in her arrival, having been
retarded, no doubt, by the heavy gales of the last few
days.

Messrs. D. Chambers and D. Phillips, the bar-
risters appointed to revise the lists of votes in the elec-
tion of knights of the shire, for the county of Kent, will
hold a Court for revising the lists of voters for West
Kent, to-morrow, at the Green Man, Blackheath.
OPENING OF THE PORTS IN THE DUTCH COLONIES.

—The Presse says—" It has already been announced
that the Dutch Government had declared Mucassar a
free port. It appears that this was only a prelude to a
general measure as regards all the colonies of Holland
in the Pacific Ocean. We have reason to believe that a
decree opening the Molucca Islands to foreign trade will
shortly be promulgated."

SUSPECTED MURDER.—Yesterday Mr. W. Baker
held an inquiry at the London Hospital on the remains
of a child unknown, which was found deposited in a
coffin in Church lane, Whitechapel, by a labourer who
was excavating a foundation for a brewery. Mr. Annin-
gibay, a surgeon, examined the remains, but could not
discover the sex. The child, he thought, was two
months old when it died. The jury returned an open
verdict of Found dead. _ _ _

DARING ROBBERY.—Last evening, between four
and five o'clock, a robbery, of the most serious conse-
quence to the party concerned, was effected in Regent-
street, under the following circumstances:—A Captain
Knock, of the Rifle Brigade, who had been lodging at a
tobacconist's in the above-named street, intending t•
leave London for Sheerness to joiu his regiment, caused
his portmanteau to be removed from his chamber to the
shop, and entered the inner room, from which it was se-
parated only by a glass partition, for the purpose of
paying his bill, when, on returning after an absence of
five minutes, his property was not to be found. Some
very adroit conveyancers must have been on the alert, as
the shop was untenanted scarcely a minute. The loss
has been the occasion of the greatest inconvenience to
the gallant captain, for, independently of his travelling
wardrobe, the portmanteau contained a considerable
sum of money, together with jewellery and other valu-
ables, amounting to nearly 200/.
THE LONDON CLUB SCULLEBS' RACE.—The Lou-

don Club scullers' race, for a gold challenge cup, came
off yesterday, from Putney to Mortlake. The following
gentlemen came to the post to contend for the prize, and
past the winning-flag as follows :—John C. Cornwall,
first ; Burton, second ; C. J. Richardson, third ; Vin-
cent, fourth ; Strutton, fifth ; Shaw, sixth ; Allen,
seventh ; Lawrie, eigth ; Pollock, ninth. The start was
beautifully taken by all parties, directly afterwards
Vincent shot a-head, followed by Shaw, J. Cornwall,
Burton, Richardson, and Strutton close up, the others
not able to live the pace. On passing under Hammer-
smith-bridge Shaw, Vincent, and Strutton retired, leav-
ing the other three to contest the race, which they did
nobly and gallantly, but Mr. Cornwall managed to main-
tain his lead by dint of great exertion„and to go in win-
ner by nearly three lengths. Mr. Burton beating Mr.
Richardson by about the same distance. Messrs. Vin-
cent and Strutton were pretty well up, but the rest were
nowhere. Time occupied in rowing the race a few
seconds under 28 minutes. As soon as it was over, Mr.
Burton offered to row Mr. Cornwall a match over the
4s tin!:

his health would not permit him to undergo the fresh
exertion, and from his distress at the conclusion of the
race there appeared little ground to doubt his statement.
EMBEZZLEMENT OF A LETTER FROM TUE POSTg.
OFFICE.—A wan who was employed in the post-office,
Birmingham, as a letter-carrier, and dismissed about
four years ago, has been committed for trial on a charge
of stealing a letter containing bank-notes prior to that
time. It seems that he had kept one of the 10/. notes in
his possession till within about ten days ago, when,
being sent to the bank of Messrs. Attwcod and
Spooner to advise a bill for a party in whose service
he was, he substituted one of the notes given for that
which had been stolen, and the number of which had
been preserved at the bank. The prisoner's own ac-
count of the affair is, that he found the note in Wol-
verhampton.

BERLIN, SEPT. 22.—The Courier of Nuremburg
affirms that the Prussian Government has renzonstrated
in the name of the Zollverein against the new cOmmer-
cial treaty between Holland and Belgium.
It, is ~-tated
that a declaration has already been made to the Cabi:et
of the Hague, that unless the advantages granted by
Holland to the Belgium manufacturers are extended to
the Zollverein, Prussia will be obliged to make:ra-
prisals.
THE LORD PROVOSTSHIP.—The citizens of Edin-
burgh, of all parties and ranks, will receive, with no
ordinary satisfaction, the announcement made in the
Town Council yesterday, that Mr. Black has consented
to retain the office of chief magistrate for another year.
' The admirable manner in which Mr. Black has dis-
charged all the duties of the office is matter of universal
admission and congratplation, and by consenting to the.
continuance of his services he has largely increased the
debt of obligation due to him. by his fellow-citizens.—.
