BRUSSELS, JAN. 27.—The average price of Wheat, in
the week ending Saturday, the 24th instant, was 25f.
3c., and that of Rye 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
prevent the disasters which are occasioned by the an-
nual inundations of the Meuse, the Lys, and 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 the 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.

THE " EDINBURGH EEVIENY."—We have learned,
from a well-informed correspondent in the capital, that it
has been confidently stated there, in some of the highest
circles, that the article on Parliamentary Privileges, in the
last number of the Edinburgh Review, is from the ten of no
loss distinguished a writer than Lord Chief Justice Denman;
and that the article on the characters of Earls Grey and
Spencer, in the same number, claims the paternity of a still
more conspicuous character—so much so as to have only a
few days ago been offered the premiership by his Sovereign,
an offer unhappily frustrated of its Purposes by One of those
evil incidents which sometimes affect the destinies of nations
—namely, Lord John Russell, We givethis
anecdote just as
we have received it; believing it, however, to be perfectly
true, but without being ourselves able to addaught to its
veracity, except that the article itself
bears profs of its
being the production of one who has himself been ie medics
res, as he evidently speaks in an .unhesitating and authorita.
tive tone, far removed from that of ordinary authorship,—

MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Baker entered into an inquiry at the Gun, Wapping,
relative to the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Robertson, aged
thirty-six, the widow, of a licensed victualler, formerly pro-
prietor of the Vine Tavern,.Kentish-town, ose body was
found on Tuesday morning.off Wapping, at a depth of about
sixteen feet, in a bed of_sasid. A solicitor and the brother of
the deceased attended.** it was intended to prefer a serious
charge against a person now carrying on business as a
licensed victualler, but who was not at present in custody,
therefore the Coroner, having heard the statement, adjourned
the inquest. It appeared that the deceased on the death
of her husband had abe,ve 1,600/. left her. Some months
after she was induced by a person, who persuaded her that
he we,s a cab proprietor, to allow him to pay her some at-
tention, the effect of which is stated to be that they were
married. They subsequeqtly went to France. After residing
there a short time they returned to England, when she found
that Nysla previously married. She called up,on him
iaat gifurday, but was not admitted. She the same evening
called on a female living in Vine-cct.ages, Kentish-town,
and, showing her arms, which were bruised, said, " Sec how
the blade-hearted wretch has served me." She left them,
having changed her clothes, and went in a cab
Haturnosmith-hridge, near which she was aeon ping her-
self into the river, awl Oloitly_aiter ft is supposed
