BRUSSELS, JAN. 27.—The average price of Wheat, in
the week ending Saturday, the 24th instant, was 25f.
3c., and that of li'ye 19f. 26c.
The Chamber of Representatives continued the debate
on the article of the Project of Law, relative to the
chase (the game•laws). It adopted article 5, with the
amendments proposed by the Government, and by three
Members.

Some questions were put to the Minister of Public
Works, by Messrs. Delsosse and Delahaye, to know
whether the Government was considering of means to
present the di%asters which are: cecasioned by the an-
nual inundations of the Meuse, the Lys, arid the Schelde.
The Minister answered in the affirmative. He declared
that this important question was the subject of serious
and profound investigation, which would shortly be
completed, and the result embodied in a project of law.
The Minister of Finance announced, in reply to a
question of Mr. Osy, that the revisal of the law on
sugars would be presented to the Chamber in a fort-
night.
The sugar refiners of Antwerp have just addressed
a petition to the Chamber of Representatives, in which
they declare that they join in the desire of the refiners of
Ghent, for the speedy revisal of :he existing law on
sugar. Monsieur Odin, Bishop of Texas, is now at Ant-
werp. He is one of the oldest missionaries in America,
where he has resided twenty-four years, and for the last
ten in Texas. He is thoroughly acquainted with the
States of the Union. The Bishop has come to Europe
to engage priests for Texas, where the population is
rapidly increasing. Twenty-seven are to embark with
him at Havre. He has been to Rome, and had an audi-
ence of the Pope.

STATE OF TRADE.--BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 2 6.—T he
inhabitants of this town and district continue to enjoy good
trade. The orders from America by the last mail are exten-
sive, and a good many exports are also in preparation for
China and Bombay. The large plate glass works of Smeth-
wick, which had been lying idle for years, have for some time
been in full work, and prices are such as shall ensure to the
com:iany a good dividend. The gun trade is singularly

military estimates, is likely to continue so for a considerable
