HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 29.—The average price_of wheat in
the week ending on Saturday, Sept. 25, was from 24f.
06c., and that of rye from 19f 2 05 per hectolitre.
The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg and suite left
the Palace of Lacken yesterday for Germany.
On Saturday last, the 26th September, two marriages
were celebrated in one of the most ancient noble fami-
lies of Belgium—the family of Werner de Merod. The
two sisters were married on the same day, at their country
seat at Louvenal, near Charleroi. One was married to
the Prince de la Cisterns, and the other to the Duke de
Valentmois, the hereditary of Monaco. This was the
civil ceremony ; the religious ceremony took place on
Monday, and was performed by M. de Saint Marsden,
the Apostolic Nuncio.
We learn from a letter from Ostend, dated the 28th,
that Mr. Waghorn had arrived this evening by the train
without dispatches. It is needless to tell you that
insuperable obstacles are the cause of this disappoint-
ment, since the English Government has not declined
any expense to get the mails from India by way of
Trieste. Our readers are aware that Mr. Waghorn has
been endeavouring for some months past to establish a
communication between Trieste and Belgium for the
conveyance of the mails from India, which would be
preferable to the route via Marseilles, as it would be
performed in a shorter time. On Thursday last a very
violent west wind prevailed along the whole extent of our
coast. The English mail, which sailed in the morning, was
obliged to put back, but in an hour afterwards it put to
sea again, having left behind almost all her passengers,
most of whom took carriages to convey them to Calais.
Mr. Borsig, proprietor of important works in the en-
virons of Potsdam, where, within the last fourteen years,
more than 100 locomotives have been constructed, has
just increased the number of his workmen to 2,000.
He is engaged to construct 186 locomotives,;which have
been bespoke, within the space of three years.
The number of locomotives at present employed on
the railways in Germany is 631, 402 of which are on
lines worked by companies, and 229 on those under the
Government.
The Committee for the improvement of the condition
of the working classes, had another sitting yesterday.
Mr. Charles Bouckere read his report on the distress in
Flanders, and the means of remedying it. This report,
which its author has modified and completed between
the two meetings, was finally adopted, and is to be laid
before the Minister of Justice. The report of the com-
mittee, besides the creation of a society for the en-
couragement of the manufacture of linen, propose to em-
ploy the people during the approaching winter on public
works, such as roads and canals. We have reason to
hope that, thanks to some manufacturers of Ghent, the
wish of the committee for the improvement of the labour-
ing classes, and likewise the wish expressed by the com-
mittee of inquiry in 1841, will be speedily fulfilled.
EISACR, SEPT. 23.—We are in daily receipt of the
most painlul accounts of hail storms and inundations,
which have occasioned fearful damage in diff Tent parts
of the Tyrol and on the Voralberg. In Liven
Allongo, near Bushenstein, nearly all the crops are
totally destroyed, from Kirchberg to Kelzlinshel. All
communication was interrupted for some days in Sa-
lurne ; the silk works were destroyed, and all hopes are
blasted for this year, and, it is feared, likewise for the
ensuing. At Golzniss, near Inspruck, several dwellings
were washed away by the inundation. At l)ornbern and
Hoheneurs no less than 50 landslips tcok place, by which
the mountain torrents were so swelled that numbers of
the inhabitants were compelled to seek their safety by
flight. Accounts from other parts are equally distress
ing. Great consternation and uncertainty prevails
among all classes, for it is impossible t 6) say where the
devastation may end. The district of Rente has suffered
more from inundation than even the Markt, did so lately
from fire.

FASHIONS FOR. OCTOBER.
(From the World of Fashion.)
MORNING WALKING HATS aro principally of the
jardinieres form, a pctites pailles, decorated with a single
ribbon of velvet. Certain fancy net works have lately
appeared, made of black velvet, and intended for the or-
namenting of these kind of hats, and which have a very
becoming effect.

HATs.—That most worthy attention, is a hat of pink
crêpe, the form round and reconvert, with a voilette or
demi• veil of pink tulle, attached upon each side with two
white roses. and carelessly tied under the chin. The veil
is edged with a very narrow white blonde, terminating
at the ends, and gives it the appearance of two lappets
tied under the chin.

MORNING DRESSES of the peignoir form are now
greatly in request, and offer the greatest variety, some
being extremely graceful and simple, whilst others, by
their ample folds, and the richness of their ornaments,
approach to the oriental style of costume, opening upon
a most elegant kind of under skirt ; these are denomi-
nated des peignoirs sultanes.
DaessEs.—Ladies who do not like wearing flounces,
or who wish for a variety, have their light and simple
dresses made with tucks, to the number of five or seven,
according to the height of the skirt, the lower one being
rather wide, and the others diminishing progressively.
Those dresses trimmed with flounces are, however, most
iu favour, as they can be adapted for either slender or
stout ladies ; these flounces being only slightly fulled,
has often the effect of simple upper skirts. Short sleeves
are also very much worn, particularly with dresses of the
' pelisse form, under which is generally worn tight sleeves
fastened round the wrists, instead of those made demi-
larges and open.
EVENING DRES3.—L-s taffetas glace, or the Pekin
rayei, are mostly in vogue for evening costumes, the
bodies being made low, and canaezouts of lace ; short
sleeves, trimmed with narrow frillings, to match the
three flounces which are put on at equal distances upon
the skirt.

CAPS are chiefly composed of tulle chiffonne, and
seamed or striped with sprigs of the lily-of-the-valley,
or Parma violets, whilst others are made of lace, with
ornaments of coloured tulle.
MANTELErs.—Those for morning costume are prin-
cipally of embroidered muslin, festonnees a, dents
pintoes. A very convenient kind of small cloak has
lately appeared for travelling, called le mantelet roulire
o' silk, but not lined, and trimmed with an open-worked
fringe, being more solid and less likely to crease than
and which from its lightness can be thrown over a
light summer toilette This style of mantelet descends
as low as the knees, and is very simple and comme
it faut.

FLOWERS are still worn in the hair, the most natural
being preferred, and to match those which decorate the
dress, artificial tl.)wers are being now much intermixed
with fruits, such as a bunch of black grapes in a wreath
of cactus.

FASHIONABLE CoLoutts for the present month are
principally of mixed hues, such as blue d'Aumole upon
gris perdrix, groseille upon gris de fer, and lilac upon
violet.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, SEPT. 29.—The expected arrivals of
the Indian mail, which was to leave Bombay on Aug. eV,
and of the Britannia steamer, which would sail fl•om Bos-
ton on the 16th instant, have tended to ;Witt demand in
our market ; both sellers and buieta being anxious to
learn further intelligence a the condition and
prospects of the cotton crop, and of the state of commer-
cial affairs in India—wtere a considerable improvement
is confidently exPf'jted. The amount of business done
was consequentV limited ; but prices, both of goods and
yarns, are 'very firm ; and in some cases higher rates
than ttose current last week are demanded by spinners
AD?, manufacturers.
ROCHDALE, SEPT. 28.—We have had a fair business
to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preced-
ing week. In the wool market there is very little
change, except, perhaps, that it is more difficult to buy
foreign wool at last week's prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, SEPT. 29.—Our market to-day is
without animation; indeed, it may be said to be flatter
than last week. Some of the fancy cloth manufac-
turers have received orders, but not to the extent they
had reason to anticipate. Wools are much the same in
price, but sales cannot be made, although they are up in
the London markets. In the warehouses there is not
much doing.
LEEDS, SEPT. 29.—We have no better account to give
of our this day's market than of preceding ones. The
demand continaes slack, and profits are very small ( n
all the business actually done.

'he Adjutant-General to the Forces transacted busi-
ness yesterday at the Treasury.
A BEGGAR-LT OPINION.—One of the begging fra-
ternity, in reply to a question propounded to him by a
captain at Pillgwenlly, "half seas over," of whom he
solicited and received alms, provided he admitted the
amount of his "income," made the following candid and
truly pithy acknowledgment.—" I doesn't know what's
come to Newport, it's bad times with the tradeafolk, for
I used to make my thirty shillings cadging it through
the town, when my rounds came that way, and was safe
for full thirty shillings. Now, I can't get more nor five
shillings, and a matter a two days about it ! It must be
awful times with the tradespeople. How I pities 'em !"
Roars of laughter were elicited by the sympathising
manner and rich pathos in which the fellow spoke as to
the diminution of his "income," and the fallen fortunes
of Newport. He should have attributed his " lesser
fortune" to the discrimination which now enables our
charitable towwfollc to perceive the difference between
the really needy and those who trade in begging.—Moit-
moutlishire Merlut.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—CUB. ES OF FEARFUL ULCEROUS
SORES IN MALTA, BY HOLLOWA Y'S PILLS AND OINTXENT.—Mrs.
Duncan, whose husband is employed in her Majesty's dockyard at
Malta, suffered for more than two years from ulcerous sores in her
feet. She formerly resided at Corfu, and was treated by the best
practitioners there, from whom, however, she derived no benefit
whatever, when, after using five or six boxes and pots of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, a perfect cure was effected. The truth of this
statement is so notorious in Malta that the editor of the " Malta
Mail" newspaper was induced to insert the particulars of the case
in his paper of October 31st, 1845.—501 d by all druggists, and
