BRUSSELS, Nov. s.—Our city has just been visited
by a dreadful fire, in which several houses were con-
sumed, or very much injured, but there is reason to
hope that no person has perished. The fire broke out,
between one and two o'clock in the morning, in the ex-
tensive manufactories of Mr. Pelseerep, timber-mer•
chant, in the Place Saint Gery. The warehouse and
workshops contained not only a great quantity of
various kinds of wood ready prepared, but
also a vast accumulation of furniture. The
tio:ghbouring houses were in part consumed, and
others much damaged. A magazine containing a large
stock of beer was destroyed, and the casks taking fire,
the beer was all lost ; unhappily the river since was
nearly dry, in consequence of the water having been
turned off fl,r the purpose of cleaning the bed. Orders
were given to open the sluices, but it was more than
two hours before the fire engines could act with full
effort. Several companies of cavalry were brought to
keep order, a company of gensdarmes preceded the
troops, and were employed in the sane service; some of
the spectators assisted the firemen and the soldiers both
in working the engines and saving the furniture belong-
ing to the houses which were on fire, but tLey were not
so numerous as might have been desired. We were
sorry to observe that many workmen, attracted by cu-
riosity to the scene of the disaster, refused to afford

The unexpected continuance of fine weather begins to
alarm our gardeners. The fruit trees will actually
suffer by it, for the buds swell and will be destroyed
when the frost sets in, so that fruit will probably be
scarce next year. But, on the other hand, the pre.
ductions of this season, such as turnips, carrots,
&c., were never so fine or so abundant as
at the present moment, so that the nurserymen and mar-
ket gardeners cannot sell them except at a very low price.
It is surprising that the retail prices in the market do
not fall in proportion.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—Accounts from Vienna, of the
29th October, state positively that the Austrian Govern-
ment intend to issue shortly notes to the amount of 25
millions of florins, which, like the English Exchequer-
bills, will bear interest at 3 per cent., and may be ex-
changed for money upon being presented at the Bank.
This issue will not exclude the plan of a loan at 5 per
cent.

VIENNA, OCT. 31.—His Imperial Highness the Arch-
duke Stephen, who was already on his journey hither,
was overtaken by a courier, who was dispatched after
him, and who brought the unexpected intelligence that
his father had suffered a relapse, in consequence of which
the Prince immediately returned to Ofen.
MONTENEGRO CATTARO, OCT. 26.—Resents events in
Montenegro explain the cause of the unexpected visit of
the Vladika. The Pacha of Scutari, Osman Malson
Pacha, is employing every means in his power to create
a party in Montenegro, to set them against the Vladika,
and gain them over to the Turkish Government, in
which he has been successful in many iastances, by
means of presents and bribes. For some months the
Vladika has hesitated to grant consecration to several
priests of the Turkish party in Montenegro. By com-
mand of the Pacha they were consecrated by the bishop,
and afterwards received rich, presents. In consequence of
this, !serious discussion arose in Montenegro, where
many are going over to the side of the Pacha every day.
The Vladika, whose influence is thus greatly weakened;
and who sees the number of his subjects greatly diminish,
is accordingly going to Vienna and Constantinople to
give those Courts a personal detail of the actual state of
things.

" LOVE HAS WINGS."—A couple from Ashby-de-
la-Zouch, attended, one day last week, at Quorndam
Baptist Chapel, a distance of 30 miles, to be married ;
but, as the minister was about registering the marriage,
they found that they had forgotten the registrar's certifi-
cate. As there was every danger, if time permitted, of
the marriage being forbidden, the bridegroom instantly
set off for the certificate, with which, to the great joy of
the bride, and the astonishment of the spectators, he re-
turned in three hours, having posted the whole of the
way backwards and forwards.
ROBBERY AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—Friday,
information was forwarded to the London police, that
between the hours of two and seven o'clock on Tuesday
last, some thief stole from the rooms of Thomas Acton,
Esq., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, a dressing-box,
containing a letter of credit on the London and Dublin
Bank for 30?, four 5/ Bank of England notes, four or
five sovereigns, and about twenty shillings in silver ;
also, several bills and letters of consequence, and a va-
riety of articles of value.
A MAN STUNG TO DEATH.----On Friday week an
inquest was held at Hemsby, Suffolk, on the body of
Mr. Palmer, a miller, in that village, who a few days
before bad, while employed in his ;garden, accidentally
overturned a skep of bees. The insects attacked the in-
truder, and stung him so dreadfully, that he died a short
time afterwards. The jury found a verdict accordingly.
