refiners, at Brussels, will continue business, notwith-
standing the stagnation of its finances. That of M.

100,000 florins.

ISOCIALISM IN BELGIUM.—An association of the
followers of Fourrier has just been established at
Brussels, under the patronage of persons who are
well known, and several of whom are invested with
an official character. Lists of persons wishing to
promote this plan are in circulation, and have already
been signed by hundreds of persons. The object is
to establish a regular Phalanslere in Flanders or La
Cumpine this summer. About twenty French per-
sons, and as many Americans, intend to join our
ultra-progressionists, to form a Phalansterienne corn•
munity of 1,000 to 1,400 individuals of both sexes in
our provinces. The names of the leading parties are
already made known. The most remarkable feature
in this movement is, that the names of several maxis •
trates and public functionaries appear on the sub•
scription lists.
The following is the project of law laid before the
Senate, as the effective of the land army of Greece:-
Ist, Tetrarchies of the phalanx, 389 men ; 2d, in-
fantry, 3,489 ; 3d, cavalry, 224 ;",4th, artillery and
arsenal, 482 ; sth, engineering, 51 ; 6th, mounted
gensdarmes, 165 ; gensdarmes, 1,224; 7th, troops
of the frontier, 2,650 ; Bth, commandants, 80 ; 9th,
military school hospitals, 24; 10th, military schools,
41 ; 11th, commissioners of military economy; 12th,
tribunals of war, 9 ; 13th, companies of invalids,
157—total, 9,160.
GRAND DUCHY OF HESSR.—The subscritions fcr
the erection of a Hall of Commerce is going on most
encouragingly. Shares of five florins (to be repaid),
and voluntary donations and anontil subscriptions,
in the course of twelve days only, amount to 7,500
florins.

hemmed in by tha ice. There is still a good deal of
ice in the channel. Wind S. W. The ice at Kohl-

belonging to the railway, laden with goods, and drawn
by six horses, passed over the ice from Hamburg') to

deg. The ice covers the river from Lollbunde to
the Torheck Reef as far as we can see. The chan-
nel appears to be still navigable. No ships had ar-
rived here for some days, and sledges have com-
menced running from the interior to the battery of
Fesconer.

GOTHENBURGH, JAN. 7.—The brig Humber, from
Hull, laden with cotton, has been wrecked off the

THE MODEL MAID-OF-ALL-WORK

Her age is fourteen. Her arms are bare, and her
feet' slipshod. ller curls are rarely out of paper,
She sports a clean apron on the Sunday, about tea-
time. It is a mystery where she sleeps ; some say
the kitchen, in one of the large drawers ; and otht rs
declare she has a turn-up bed in the hall-clock ; but
it is not known, for positive whether she ever goes to
bed at all. She has a wonderful affection for the cat.
Everything that is missed, or lost, or broken, or not
eaten, she gives unhesitatingly to him. She is not
fond of the drawing-room, but has a good-natured
partiality of the garret, who sings funny songs, and
gives her occasionally an order for the play. She
takes her dinner whilst washing the dishes, and never
gets her breakfast till all the floors have done with
the one teapot. She tries very hard to answer five
bells at once, and in despair answers none. She
always forgets the mustard, and prefers blowing the
fire with her mouth instead of the bellows. Her
hands will not bear minute inspection ; and no
wonder, for she is cleaning boots, or washing, or
cooking dinners, all day long. She carries coals in a
dustpan, hands bread on a fork, and wipes plates with
her apron. She is abused by everybody, and never
gets a holiday. She only knows it is Sunday by the
lodgers stopping in bed later than usual, and having
twice as many dinners to cook. She is never allowed
e
to go out, excepting to fetch beer or tobacco.

MARINE SOCIETY.—A general quarterly meeting
of this society, established for the equipment, main-
terance. and instruction of distressed boys for the Royal
Navy, Indian navy, merchant service, and the fisheries,
we: held yesterday, at the office of the institution,
Bishopsgat(--Areet ; Sir C. Malcolm in the chair. There
were present, Lord 11. Cholmondeley, General Caulfield,
Admiral Hope, Mr. Ricardo, &c. By ;the Secretary's
report it appeared that the income for the quarter ending
Dec. 31, 1847, was 2,2331. The expenditure less by a
balance of 921. During the past quarter 84 boys had
beers sent t ) sea in the Royal Naval, merchant, and East
India service!, making, with the number sent out in the
previous quarter, a total of 183 The Secretary begged
to read a letter from Lord Auckland, First Lord of the
Admiralty, stating that though lie avoided as much as
possible presiding at public dinners, still, approving as
he did of the objects of that society, he would willingly
tice the chair at the annual dinner which was to be
given for the augmentation of its funds. Thanks having
been voted to the Gallant Chairman, the meeting
separated.

added that, according t M. Claesen's proposition, the
principal authors of the sr parate league tire to be exiled
or two years, after which they will be permitted to
return on applying for pardon." From a postscript to
this letter, however, it would appear that the Grand
Council had not adopted the whole of M. Glasaon'a
proposition. The Suisse promises to give the Cetails of
the division which had been come to.

THE LAST AND-;HEiii;l.--A correspondent of
the .New York Spirit of the Times has the following:—
.\ chap, walking out, c..nie across " Old Mose" sitting
in tllc broiling sun, fishing. " Well, Mose," says he,
" what i❑ the world are you doing there?" " Fiffin."
" What?" "Fan." " Fishing! well, what's the rear
you can't talk ? what's in your mouth ?" " Oh,
nuffin but wums for bait!"
