BRUSSELS, OCT. 23.—Several journals, says the Moni-
teur, have spoken of the epidemic disorderC which pre-
vails in some communes of the districts of Sermonte,
Malines and Brussels. We can say with certainty that
no measures have been neglected to put a stop to this
disorder, and the Inspector of Public Health has been
ordered personally to see that all of the sanatory mea-
sures prescribed by the superior authorities are carried
into execution. The disease is on the decline in most of
the communes.
Yesterday a very extraordinary phenomenon, which
has not yet been accounted for, astonished the oldest sea-
men of the port of Antwerp. The tide was to rise till a
quarter-past five, and it was, therefore, with extreme
surprise that they perceived the waters to fall consider-
ably at five minutes past four. This circumstance is the
more remarkable, because on account of the sea-moon a
very high tide was expected. In consequence of this
event the American three-masted ship the Shanunge,
which was in the road, was nnable to enter the basin.
The tempest which has been raging here since yesterday
morning, has done considerable damage in the environs
of the city of Brussels.
The price having attained the rate at which the trea-
ties for the cessation of Bavaria to the Zollverein allow
the suppression of duties, King Louis has just ordered
the importation duty free of all kinds of provisions into
his kingdom.
Yesterday, in consequence of the unfavourable weather,
six or seven merchantmen, which had left the port of
Ostend, bound for Liverpool and Portugal, were obliged
to put back, having been stopped about at sea for seven
days without having lost sight of the coast.

;(1.. in hor,, her
friend, Mrs. Easy Prig. In the opening scene we
are introduced to Mrs. Gamp, (Mr. Wright), who,
with her basket and umbrella, is returned to her
lodgings at Sweedlepipe's, from a nursing expedi-
tion. Mrs. Gamp is knocking at her door when she
meets with Charley Muff, (Mr. Worrell), who has
been making love to her niece, Miss Selina Gamp,
(Miss Ellen Chaplin), a figarante at Drury-lane.
She invites him to tea and turn-out, and scarcely
has he left her, when she meets his father,
an opulent tallow-chandler, Mr. Magnus Muff,
(Mr. Cullenford), who in other days, before
she knew the late Mr. Gamp, had been
a suitor for her favours. lie is on the look-out for
his truant son, but it is unbeknown to Sairey that the
suitor of her niece is the son of the friend of her
youth, and she asks old Muff to the tea and turn-
out also. We are then introduced to Betsy Prig (Mr.
Munyard), and her daughter (Miss M. Taylor), and
her daughter's husband, an Irish tailor (Mr Red-
mond Ryan), who waxes jealous in consequence
of the intrusion of a 'certain Mr. Alfred,
a quondam lover of his wife, who is no other
than the Don Giovanni of humble life, Mr.
Muff, junior. To appease him, Betsy Prig declares
that all Mr. Muff's attentions are devoted to his old
Betsy ; and the Tailor, wondering at young Muff's
taste, is appeased. The scene then changes to Sairey
Gamp's. First of all we have the two young ladies,
who, having discovered the falseness of Mr. Muff
junior, attack him and faint in his arms. He leaves
them and takes refuge under the bed. Then the old
woman brews a bowl of punch from a receipt
book, given by Mrs. Harris to Mrs. Gamp, and makes
divers odd mistakes by reading across from a receipt
for punch to a receipt for a salad, so that the rum
and sugar and hot-water get strangely mixed with
mustard, vinegar, and oil. Then the party assemble,
and this punch is served out to the great horror of the
drinkers, and a grand quarrel scene between Sairey
Gamp and Betsy Prig ensues. The young Muff
emerges from his hiding-place, and with the consent
of his father marries Selina Gamp, and then comes a
dance in which old Sairy in white kid sandals and black
silk stockings, and a white muslin gown with a black
sash, dances a jig in the most outre fashion imaginable.
Mrs. Gamp, moreover, favours the company with a
moral song, which is, of course, encored, and, thanks
to the admirable fooling of Wright, the piece goes off
amidst such shouts of laughter as we never heard ex-
cept within the walls of the Adelphi. The house was
crowded, the laughter was uproarious, and Mrs.
Gamp will, no doubt, be at home every night for
many weeks to come.
