FLANDERS MAIL.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—A dreadful accident cc•
curred on Thursday morning at Zeiten Bournow, where
the imperial manufactory is situated. The great chimney
of the manufactory, which has been erecting for several
months, and which was raised to the height of nearly
150 feet, all of a sudden, and while a great number of
men were at work upon it, separated from its base, and
fell down, carrying with it all the unfortunate workmen
who were on the scaffoldings, and were crushed by the
enormous weight of the ruins. The false and incorrect
calculations of the engineer who erected this chimney,
are the sole causes of this deplorable accident, which has
crushed above one hundred victims, fifty of whom have
been taken up dead.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The Chamber of Representa-
tives was engaged to-day on the discussion of the
budget of the public debt, which was voted without any
important debate by the 49 members present, without
one dissenting voice.
The depntation of the Chamber sent to present to the
King the address in answer to his Majesty's speech, was
received to-day at one o'clock, with the usual ceremony.
After the address had been read by the President, his
Majesty replied in the following terms :
"I receive with lively :satisfaction the address of the
Chamber of Representatives. Love for the country, the
dignity and moderation of the national character, are the
best guarantee of the good use of our institutions, and of
their duration. I thank yon, gentlemen, for the senti-
ments of gratitude and attachment which you express
towards me." _ . .

BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—The official part of the Moniteur
of this date contains royal ordinances respecting the
organisation -of the several Ministerial departments.
Ist, Lepartment of the Interior ; 2d, Department of
Justice ; 3d, Department of Foreign Affairs ; 4th,
Finance ; sth Public Works. These ordinances fill
twenty pages of the Illoniteur.
The amount of the receipts of the Belgian Railroads
during the course of this year, show that they gradually
increased till the end of September, but in October they
began to decrease in the same proportion as in former
years. The receipts of the first nine months of the two
years were as follows :-1845, 10,587,523 francs ;
1846, 11,560,855 francs ; excess in 1846, 973,352 francs.
TUNSBRUCK, Nor. 18.—The overland mail from India
has twice taken the road through Tyrol ; viz., through
Ampezzo Brurruck, and Millenwald, as the shortest
route, and accomplished the distance from Trieste to
this place in 24 hours and 40 minutes ; which, indeed,
was possible only by sending a courier on before to an-
nounce its coming, and by great liberality to the pos-
tillions.

OPENING OF THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS EXTENSION
RAILWAY.—After many postponements, the extension
branch line of the Tunbridge Wells Railway was pub-
licly opened yesterday for passenger and other traffic.
From the former station, outside the town, the railway
branches ab )ut 250 yards through a deep cutting, where
it enters a tunnel 800 yards in length, which, within 70
or 80 yards, brings the visitor to the station, which is
close to the church, and nearly as possible in the centre
of the old and new towns. No public ceremony 'was
observed in its opening, Mr. Peter W. Barlow, the com-
pany's engineer,being the only official present. The
its
Board of Trade certified security some time since.
BURNING THE TWEED.—Poaching on 'the river
Tweed is being conducted on a great scale, and in a
business-like manner, in this neighbourhood at present.
One night last week upwards of fifty poachers, with
Leisters" and " Cruizier," made their appearance, and
forthwith commenced the work of destruction. They
carried it on unmolested, not a watcher daring to show
his head, until they had secured a great number of fish.
And on last Tuesday night another strong party set out,
and likewise murdered all within their reach, amounting,
we have heard, to upwards of forty fish. The parties
make no secret of their intentions; they go out openly
and avowedly, and depend on their numbers, strength,
and recklessness, to intimidate and overawe the watch-
ers, and consequently secure impunity to their conduct.
Twe "brigades," of neatly sixty each, have been formed
in this town, and are busily employed in preparing am-
munition and arms for the winter's campaign, so that
unless strong measures be adopted to stop the ravagers,
not a stream from Leaderfoot to Innerleitben will re-
main unmolested. A goodly number of weavers and
other operatives are but partially employed; and these,
with recruits from among the railway labourers, form
the materiel of the poaching " brigades." We saw one
of the " shelilahs" intended to be used on the " bailies'
heads: it was a sapling about seven Feet long, with a
head of four inches diameter—a weapon certainly of
rather appalling dimensions.—Kelso Chronicle.
