BRUSSELS PAPE

BRUSSELS; APRIL 9.—To-day, at half-past eleven,
his Majesty will review all the troops now in Brussels.
Yesterday passed over very calmly ; there was not
even any extraordinary bustle caused by persons walk-
ing about as the day before ; every body was attending
to his business as usual. The several regiments of the ,
garrison were mustered.
A Belgian cabinet messenger set out yesterday af-
ternoon with despatches for London.
The order summoning the general band of the civic
guard of Brussels to assemble is revoked. The Mi-
nisters of Justice, War, and the Interior, have just
called on the authorities belonging to the departments
to give a detailed account of the events of the sth and
6th of April.
On the 7th and Bth fifty-four persons were impri-
soned at the Petits Cannes, to which prison the ma-
gistrates, appointed by the Court of Appeal, proceeded
yesterday to investigate the prisoners. Several of
them were set at liberty yesterday afternoon.
In order to secure the aid of the citizens, in case of
any fresh troubles, the city is divided into three mili-
tary quarters, the command of the first of which is con-
fided to M. C. de Brouckere, Director of the Mint,
of the 2d to Col. Rodenbach, Commandant of the
Police, and of the 3d to General Nyhels.
One hundred thousand cartridges arrived here yes-
terday.
All the troops that came from the neighbouring
towns on the 6th and 7th of April are going to be can-
toned in the suburbs and the vicinity of Brussels till
further orders.
The garrison of Brussels is going to be augmented.
Twelve or fifteen members of the Senate, re-
siding at Brussels, with the two vice-presidents
and secretaries at their head, went on Monday
afternoon to the Palace, and were immediately
admitted to an audience of his Majesty. We
are informed that at this audience, which was
of nearly an hour's duration, the conversation turned
on the utility of reinstating the civic guard, by a good
law, on bases nearly similar to those which exist in
France.
The evening before yesterday, some attempts to ex-
cite disorder were made at Louvain. Some individuals
Went to attack a house. Stones were thrown at the
windows, the shutters were broken, and the people
were preparing to penetrate into the house, when the
magistrates, put on their guard by the events at Brus-
sels, hastened to the spot, followed by the armed force,
and the assailants retreated. Strong plquets of cavalry
and infantry were stationed in that quarter, and patrols
paraded the streets during the night. Yesterday even-
ing, according to the latest accounts, tranquillity seemed
to be entirely restored.—Moniteur.
ANTWERP, APRIL B.—Tranquillity continues to pre-
vail here ; some strangers who came to the gates yes-
terday without passports were provisionally put in pri-
son, by way of precaution. It is intended to set them
at liberty to-day.
GHENT; APRIL B.—Our city is tranquil. The Vice-
roy of Hanover, travelling under the name of Count
tie Diepholz, passed through this city at two in the
afternoon, on his way to England.
The Minister of the Interior has given the following
answer to the letter of the Deputies requesting the
immediate convocation of the Chambers :
" Brussels, April B.—Gentlemen, The complete
cessation of the disorders which have afflicted the
capital, and which are the subject of a judicial inquiry,
and the maintenance of tranquillity in our provinces,
induce my colleagues and myself to believe that the
assembling of the Chambers is not necessary at this
moment. I therefore do not feel myself called on to
take the step which you desire ; and beg you to accept
the assurance of my distinguished consideration.
" C. ROGIER."

The velocity of the wind varies from nothing
up
.to 100 'miles in an hour ; but the maximum is
variously stated by different authors. According to
Szneaton' a gentle breeze moves between four and five
miles an hour, and has a force of about two ounces on
a foot ; a brisk pleasant gale moves from ten to fifteen
, miles, with a force of twelve ounces ; a high wind,
with a force of five or six
thirty to thirty-five miles,
pounds ; a hurricane, bearing along trees, houses, &c.
has a velocity of 100 miles, and a force of forty-nine
pounds on the square foot.—Murray's Encyclopedia

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1834.

From Vienna it appears that the conferences
of the German Ministers have been very active
since the arrival of M. ANCILLON. There
are daily sittings, and it is believed that all will
be decided by the end of April at the latest.

It is stated from Zurich, March 31, that on
the 28th M. PETIT PIERRE, Count of West-
dahlen, Councillor of State of Neufchatel, unex-
pectedly arrived at Zurich, to deliver to the
directing Canton (Vorort) a note of the follow-
ing substance :—" That the Council of State of
Neufchatel had received from his Majesty the
King of PRUSSIA, full powers to, negotiate
with the Confederation in order to with-
draw from the Confederation as a canton,
and only to remain connected with it as a Prin-
cipality, in such relations as are well adapted to
the line of neutrality of Neufchatel. The Vorort
is consequently requested to invite all the can-
tons to give their Deputies to the next ordinary
Diet the necessary instructions for prosecuting
the negotiations. The application of Neufchatel
is founded, like all its previous wishes for a se-
paration, on the proposals formerly made."

Accounts from Constantinople of the 11th
say that the armaments by sea and land are
continued with great activity, especially for the
equipment of the fleet. Some think that the
Dardanelles, others that Samos, is the object
of their armaments.

The accounts received from Lyons by the
French Papers of Thursday, and some dated
yesterday, describe the movements of the work-
ing classes in that city as of a very restless and
unsatisfactory character. The following is the
substance of them :

" It appears that the working classes of Lyons re-
newed on Wednesday their attroupernens, on" the
occasion of the trial of certain of their associates for
sedition, and that a collision between them and the
authorities took place, in which, as the troops employed
are said to have acted with vigour, much blood must
have been shed. The revolters erected barricades in
various directions, all of which were carried' and
levelled by the soldiers.
" The telegraphic despatches received by the French
Government state that the revolt had not been quelled ;
and that in consequence the authorities conveyed to
Government their serious apprehensions for the issue
of the conflict, which they had no doubt would re-
commence with fury on the next day (Thursday).
That such renewal did take place, and to the advan-
tage of the insurgents, was deemed more than pro-
bable by the French Government, from the circum-
stance that, although the atmosphere was clear, no
telegraphic despatch from Lyons had reached Paris

~. 1

up to two o'clock, p.m. of Thursday. A contempo-
rary states that much doubt existed in well=informed
quarters of the asserted devotion and vigour of the
troops in Lyons—nay, certain regiments are noted to
us as likely to have acted in a contrary sense. It also
adds that fears existed at the Tuileries that the spirit
of insurrection would extend from Lyons on one side
to Strasburg, and on the other to Marseilles."
_ _

We give the foregoing as we found it, but do
not attach very much importance to the matter
at present. The late change in the Govern-
ment may have given rise to hopes in the
minds of the disaffected in Lyons or elsewhere ;
and, for aught we know, the affairs in Belgium,
as well as at Lyons, may have been the effect of
the machinations of those who wish for nothing
less than confusion sufficient to justify the
exertion of arbitrary power, in a manner
which will, they think, render the Govern-
ment they hate and fear unpopular. There is
no doubt that the extreme Radicals in this
country find, if not countenance at least toler-
ance and connivance from those who dread the
permanency of the present government, and are
always aiming to make them unpopular with
some large portion of the community.

The report at Rome of an intended marriage
between Prince LEOPOLD, brother of the King
of NAPLES, with a daughter of the French
King, has filled the Papal Court with dismay.
A French Princess, they say, will bring
Frenchmen in her train, and Frenchmen will
bring liberal and tolerant principles of govern-
ment into Southern Italy. How will it be pos-
sible to maintain, under these circumstances,
the narrow and intolerant system that now pre-
vails ? When will States learn that to exclude
the opinions that flourish among their neigh-
bours is impossible, without possessing the
power, and resorting to the means employed by
PHILIP 11. against the reformation, and that
1 success in such an enterprize can only end in
the moral and physical degradation of the coun-
try, which is made the subject.pf so cruel an
experiment ?

We can assure the readers of the Chronicle

that the apprehensions of those gentlemen who
spoke at the Huddersfield dinner about Lord
ALTHORP'S intended measure of relief from
church rates, prove them to be as ill-informed on
that subject as they are on many others. Church
rates will be abolished, and that without touch-
ing the poor rate fund, which would in fact be
no relief at all. As to the Marriage Bill, that
will either be given up or made conformable to
a civil registration, which all parties are agreed
has become absolutely requisite. A little
patience is all that is now wanting, and the best
friends to the dissenters are those who advise
them not to suspect, much less quarrel, with
those who have always proved true to the cause
of. freedom, civil and—religious. Yhose who
adopt a contrary course may gain Momentary
popularity with a certain class of Dissenters,
but we have good reason to know that the most
respectable men among them confide in the as-
surance of the government that all the real
grievances will be redressed in the most effectual
manner. It is not, however, necessary to this,
that a triumph should be given to any one party
over others equally worthy of consideration and
respect. When the measure announced by
Lord ALTHORP in regard to Church Rates
shall have been introduced, it will then be full
time to raise objections to it, if objections can
be made ; but surely the bitterest enemies of

the government could do no more than raise a
clamour against a measure, the nature of which
is yet unknown. The wisest course which
the Dissenters at Halifax, Huddersfield, and
elsewhere can adopt, is to give full credit
to the Government for the best intentions,

to accept all the service which it may be in
their power to render, and to increase the power
of their friends rather than to lessen it. When

the Ministers have done all they can do, it will
be for the dissenters to secure every thing besides
that they can show to be consistent with the
public advantage, in the same way that other
benefits have been and must always be obtained
in a state of society like tile present, viz., by
convincing the majority that what they seek is
really desirable, and may be conceded without
danger. The wisest and most successful men
have always adopted this course. Violence,
agitation, and suspicion of others are wholly in-
consistent with that perfect confidence in the
progress of truth and the establishment of all
that is right which should mark every
step of the course of those who aspire to exer-
cise permanent influence over mankind. In
truth, there is not one of the real grievances
of which the Dissenters complain, whichi may
not be redressed with perfect ease, and with
the consent of the most enlightened men of
other parties, if those who desire to guide
them do not manifest an impetuosity and an
ardour quite uncalled for at present. It would
be a much wiser and more useful task to point
out the best means of accomplishing the
greatest positive good for the Dissenters, with
the least possible degree of injury or offence
to those who still remain, either from educa-
tion, habit, or principle, attached to the Esta-
blished Church.

Mr. WILKS, M.P., is to make a motion in
the House of Commons on the 20th instant,
relating to the law on Friendly Societies. It

will be seen, by a reference to our front page,
that Mr. STEVENS, of Plymouth, has published
some cheap works on the subject. We under-
stand these pamphlets are well worth perusing-

If the wasting power of the unemployed la-
bourers of these three kingdoms were applied
to the wasting or imperfectly cultivated soil, an
amount of real capital might be created fully
adequate to the cultivation of those immense
tracts of land which are now producing little or
nothing more than noxious plants or compara-
tively useless shrubs, but which tracts of land
are nevertheless the property of the people of

England. In which quarter of the world is it
that Great Britain is not the proprietor ,of
vast tracts of land capable of cultivation,
but now in an unproductive state? Is it
Europe, Asia, Africa, America, or the
Islands of the Sea ? And who will set
a limit to the capability of extending it by
means not fraudulent or bloody, but honest and
most beneficial to those who would be glad to
part with land for capital, and the power of in-
creasing capital for themselves ? But suppose
all the surface land in our possession, and all we
could acquire, were cultivated to the highest.

pitch, still, in the bowels of the earth and the
sea, we have .storehouses full of food, and
means of increasing real wealth and positive

enjoyment.

Why, then, it may be aske should any one
of the King's subjects be in-`want of occupa-
tion, of food, of capital, of knowledge, and
of enjoyment ? The answer is, that the
multitude do not observe, that they do
not reflect; that they are not 'united, in short,
that they are not wise. They have wasted
their time, their opportunities, their productive
powers in war, and in the acquisition of that
which can produce little lasting benefit to them-
selves or those who are to come after them. But
men's minds are undergoing an extraordinary
change, and events will compel them, to think
and to act a nobler and abetter part. A free
press, under the guidance of freemen, will lead
to greater changes for the better in the state of
mankind than all other instrumentalities toge-
ther. It will put an end to the butchery of the
human race, and to all arbitrary and tyrannical
power. It will, enable man to work out his own
improvement, and to subdue, possess, and go-
vern the earth by means and influences worthy
of himself and suited to his own nature.

The present attempts of the Dissenters to
have all their remaining disabilities removed—
the dissatisfaction of enlightened and just men
with the neglected condition and gross misma-
nagement of the poor—the searching inquiries
which have been made, and are yet making,
into the abuses of charities, and the iniquitous
practices of close corporations, and even the
numerous uncalled for, and therefore mis-
chievous combinations of the unreflecting, be-
cause partially enlightened workmen, to ob-
tain an ascendancy over their employers
and their governors, which, if they could
acquire it, would prove far more ruinous
to themselves than to others—what do they
all indicate, but dissatisfaction with our
present imperfect condition, and a desire to
carry improvement to the utmost practicable
extent ? Both the dissatisfaction and the de-
sire of improvement arise from causes which it
is too late to remove, but the operations of
which it is not too late to control.

How can the wasting energies of the unem-
ployed population of Great Britain be best em-
ployed so as to produce the greatest advantage
for themselves and others ? Is it by putting those
who are without land, without capital, without
knowledge, in array against those who possess
them all ? Is it by combinations of - laod-
lords against terianti;',Or tenants against land-
lords? or of the agricultural interest against
the trading, or both together against the manu-
facturing ? Or is it by setting the masters
against the workmen, or the workmen against
the masters ? Certainly not. It is by looking
to the general interests of the whole people, and
uniting all the wise and the good in a search
after, and the right improvement of, all the
natural and acquired advantages which be-
long to the community. As this should
be the business of the great Council of the
nation, as well as of the nobles and the Sove-
reign of the country, it should also be the work
of the public press, and if of the press in ge-
neral of each and every portion of it. This
then will be our work ; and we invite the co-

operation of all our readers. Let each one put
to himself the question we have now proposed,
viz. :—How can the now wasting energies of the
unemployed population of Great Britain be best
employed so as to produce the greatest advantage
for themselves and others ?

We beg to call the attention of our readers
to a letter from a correspondent on the subject
of the proposed new market on the south side
of the Thames, the utility of which under-
taking must be apparent to every well-wisher
of the borough of Southwark ; and we under-
stand that the projectors only require a fair and
impartial investigation of their case.

DEATH OF LORD BLAYNEY.—This Noble
Lord, who was known so generally, and so kindly
estimated, expired yesterday. A vacancy has oc-
curred, in consequence, in the representation of Mo-
naghan, on the elevation of Mr. Blayney to the
Peerage.—Dublin Paper.

CHURCH AND STATE PETITION.--A
petition in favour of the connection of the church with
the State, is carried to the select few of the church-
goers of Basford, to be signed ; but the great majority
of the inhabitants are decidedly against any connection
of Church and State.—Nottingham Review.
QUEEN'S BOOTS.—In Rutlandshire is the
ancient village of Ketton. Its tenure is by knight's
service, and it is a curious fact that the sheriffs of the
county collect annually a rent of two shillings from
the inhabitants, pro ocreis regine, which can only be
translated " for the Queen's boots."— Old Magazine.
On Hoiy Thursday the young Queen of
Hungary performed, in the name of the Empress, the
ceremony of washing the feet of twelve old men, and

101 years of age, the youngest 81 the age of the
twelve together, 1,019 year. The eldest of the women
was 97, the youngest 85 ; and the twelve together,
1,075 years.

lambs are, for the most part, strong and healthy, and
the season has been particularly favourable for rearing
them.—Norfolk Chronicle;

One of the most remarkable reliques of
Nelson is to be seen in the Naval and Military Museum,
Scotland-yard. In a glass frame are enclosed a lock
of his hair cut off after his decease by Sir Thomas
Hardy, and authenticated by that gallant officer's sig-
nature ; beneath is an original portrait in pencil taken
on board ship, and a very admirable likeness, and
beneath is the envelope of a letter, addressed in
Nelson's own hand-writing, with the name, " Nelson
and Bronti," in the usual place at the corner.

It appears that the trades' union is not alto-
gether confined to the working classes, the coach pro-
prietors of Brighton having had a private meeting, at
which it was resolved that their coaches should not run
at a lower fare for inside places than one guinea, in-
stead of the twelve or fourteen shillings heretofore de-
manded, and that this was made known to both the
London and Brighton offices to the no small annoyance
of Whig, Conservative, and Radical, none of whom,
however careless respecting their triple crowns, ap-
peared by any means anxious to part with the sovereign.
The little village of West Wickham, in this
county seems to have caught
,the contagion of the
unions and to have determined to do less work for
more wages. On Monday last about fifty labourers
made a strike and,Jeft their masters to do their work,
though but for it' short time, as they very promptly
proceeded to a magistrate and obtained warrants for
the apprehension of the ringleaders, and on Wednes-
day four of them, William Rowlingson, William
Barker, William Mynott, and Edward Barker were
committed to the Castle for three months' hard labour.
This had the desired effect, and the rest of their mis-
guided companions are' returning to their usual em-
ployments.—Cambridge Chronicle.

Of all the cities in Europe none is so
attractive to the imagination of man as Venice—a
place whose peculiar institutions, society, and form of
government, have inspired some of the finest thoughts
of Shakspeare, Otway, Schiller, Byron, and other
great writers. What indeed can so captivate the
mind as the contemplation of that gorgeous and
oriental-looking city, whence its merchant princes
issued laws which governed so many territories ?
What is so romantic as its fairy palaces, its noiseless
and curtained gondolas, its midnight serenades, and
its carnival revelries ? And what so fearful as that
inscrutable despotism which could, without appeal,
seize on its victims and doom them either to death,
secretly perpetrated, or endless and tormenting capti-
vity? Such characteristics as these are certain to
attract the writer of fiction, and accordingly, a new
and powerful novelist has chosen Venice for the exer-
cise of his genius, and his novel of " The Conspiracy"
(a fitting name for a Venetian story) will probably
rival the romances of Mrs. Radcliffe, Cooper, and
Monk Lewis.

After sentence of death was pronounced on
Mr. Maxwell, he became so sensibly affected, that im-
mediate restoratives were found necessary to sustain
him. On his way to the county prison, the guard by
whom he was surrounded had frequently to halt that he
might be refreshed with water, and the prisoner to
whom he was chained had to support him by exhorta-
tion, as well as by personal assistance. He wept bit-
terly. On reaching the gaol, both parties, the Holmes
and Maxwells, who prosecuted each other, were locked
in the same ward in the condemned cell, at the end of
which Mr. Maxwell, as is customary, was put into soli-
tary confinement. Both parties wept bitterly at their
fate, and each—the opposite as well as his own—
seemed greatly affected at the awful sentence Mr.
Maxwell received. His prosecutor and opponent in
the fray, Mr. Holmes, who is himself a prisoner under
sentence of imprisonment, entered Mr. Maxwell's cell,
but immediately rushed out, both parties being com-
pletely overcome, and having burst into tears on recog-
nising each other. They stand in the relationship of
first and second cousins to each other, and all the par-
ties implicated are similarly allied in the tic of kin-
dred. Mr. Holmes is a very fine young man, most
fashionably dressed. He has, since Mr. Maxwell's
conviction, evinced the deepest concern for that unfor-
tunate gentleman. Mr. Maxwell, since his committal,
has had'two attacks of apoplexy ' - and from what must
naturally be the present state of his mind, the persons
in whose charge he is feel the strongest apprehensions
of consequences that may anticipate the fate to which
he has been sentenced.—Limerick Star.

SUICIDE.--A distressing act of self-destruc-
tion was committed on Thursday morning, at No. 3,
Cecil-street, Strand, by Mr. Baskerville, jun., a
tailor, who put an end to his existence by hanging him-
self. The deceased, whose paternal parent has at-
tained a fine old age, and lived in the house with him,
was himself a married man, and father of four or five
children, all of whom are living. An inquest was
held on the body in the evening, and it appeared that
he, fora few days prior to the unfortunate event,
complained of a " lightness" in his head, for which
he was unable to account. His family, however, did
not apprehend any ill consequences from it, and
thought that rest (which they recommended) would
restore his health. It appeared, from the evidence of
his eldest daughter, that in coming down stairs at an
early hour in the morning, she looked into his bed-
room, to inquire of him how he was, and seeing his
coat there, and that he was not himself in the room,
she looked into the sitting-room on her way down, and
saw him (as she supposed) standing in a stiff pos-
ture behind the door, the strangeness of which alarm-
ing her, she hastened down stairs and informed the
maid servant, who, having received a rebuke from him
the previous day, said she would not herself go in, but
called the deceased's son, a youth of sixteen or seven-
teen years of age, who, on discovering the situation
of his unfortunate parent, had the presence of mind
instantly to cut him down, and procure medical assist-
ance. The vital spark had, however, fled. The de-
ceased had suspended himself by means of a silk hand-
kerchief from a nail in the wainscoat, immediately
above the room door, and his feet having apparently
touched the floor, led his daughter into the opinion
that he was standing. The jury returned a verdict of
Temporary Insanity.
