• BRUSSELS PAPERS.

The Verateur contains a long article asserting the legality
of the - exemption from the duty of Customs, granted on the
impo'rtation of the models which the Government has imported
ha Belgium from England, as patterns for the manufacturers
NA our country who are to supply the materials for the iron
-rail-road. The Moniteur founds its argument on the law of the
22d of February last, which exempts from import duties ma-
chinery of all kinds, imported as models for a new branch of
indus;try, -and on the universally admitted rule that a govern-
ment cannot pay duties to itself. Several ships containing
iron rails, or models of parts of the road, are now on their way
from England to Brussels, where they will arrive in a days.
BRUSSELS, Ave. 26.—The Moniteur Bclge of this morning

M. Swits, member of the commission which is to discuss the
commercial treaty with Franco, set out yesterday for Paris
with instructions and bases resolved on here.
The Belgian brig Flora being on the point of sailing for a
third voyage round the world, the Government has ap-
pointed M. Joseph Partoes, who belongs to the section
of manufactures and commerce, in the Department of the In-
terior, to go as agent for the Government on board that vessel,
-which will visit the principal ports of Bolivia, Chili, and
Peru;then proceed to the Sandwich Islands, Manila, and
China, and take in the produce of the two countries.
The agent is to attend to all commercial transactions in all
the ports visited by the ship, to examine what advantages Bel-
gium may derive from commerce with them, and in what man-
ner ; in short to make a general report on the state of corn-
snerce incthose countries. He is also to collect seeds of all
kinds of trees and plants that may be introduced with advantage
into the kingdom, and also to obtain any thing that may enrich
the museums of natural history. A similar expedition is pre-
raring for Singapore.
The cargo of the Flora is valued at 230,000 francs.
We hear that several French officers leave the Staff and
return to France.

Colonel Rodenbach, Commandant of Brussels, left this city
yesterday on leave of absence.

- Their Majesties are still at Ostend, and continue to enjoy
good health.

GERMAN PAPERS.

DRESDEN, Aco. 16.—Within these few days eight more of
our citizens hale been arrested. This circumstance has ex-
cited great sensation. It is not known whether they are ar-
rested in consequence of information respecting secret asso-
ciations, or of the depositions of the persons arrested for the
murder of -Madame Von Schonberg. The sentence passed
on ,the latter in tho first instance has been published ; three
of them arc condemned to the wheel, two to be beheaded, and
two to the House of Correction.

C.SSSEL, Ate. 20. The Cassel Gazette contains the fol-
lowing paragraph :—" It seems that the negotiations
between the Government and the Assembly of the
States, have led to a desirable understanding, as was
to be expected from the desire of both parties to promote the
interests of the country. The Government has in many in-
s-tit-ices met with commendable readiness, the wishes, and
proposals of the Assembly, and both the Government and the
States are evidently convinced that the real wrifare of the
country depends on the maintenance of a go3tl understanding
between them. We may therefore expect that the present
session will lead to very favourable res:dis.
FRANKFORT, AUG. 22.—Her Highness the Duchess Dow-
ager of Saxe Nleiningen and 132 r Serene Highness Princess

TAY SALMON IN PARIS.—We learn, from the
best authority, that a salmon was caught in the Tay on Satur-
day last week, was put on board the Dundee steam-ship same
day, and addressed to a gentleman in Paris, in which city it
was served up for dinner on the Wednesday following. This,
we believe, out-does anything in the shape of expedition on re-
cord. We question much if a Tay salmon has ever before
reached the: French capital. We may add, that grouse, shot
on the 12th, fifty miles from Dundee, were on the tables of our
English friends, by the same conveyance, on the 15th.__
lifeshire Journal.

BULL-BAITING.—This barbarous and shameful
practice has been carried on to some extent in this neighbour-
hood, we regret to say. A bull which had been worried to
the, death by about twenty dogs being set at him, after it had
broken his leg and received other like injuries, at Whaley
Bri-dge, the other week, was brought into this town and sold
for 2/. It was slaughtered; but thanks to our active market
lookers, who heard of the circumstance, they had the whole
carcase publicly burnt, and the authorities are now engaged in
investigating the matter, that the parties who were engaged in
the " sport" may be brought to justice.—Stochport Advertiser.
PRESENCE OF MlND.—There was a party of gen-
tlemen and ladies who went toivisit Bedlam, and, as they were
going through the wards, one of the gentlemen was accosted
by a person whom he supposed to be one pf the keepers, and
who said to him in a whisper, " Your friends are only going
through the common parts of the establishment, but if you will
come with me, I will show you the apartments which are not
generally opened to strangers." The man went off and
beckoned to the gentleman, who stepped away from his com-
panions, to follow his new guide, who led him through sundry
passages to the top of the building, and then out upon the
leads. No sooner were they there than the man said to the
gentleman, " Now, sir, jump into the street I
" ,
ot.l may sup-
pose what were his feelings when he found himself in the pre-
sence of a madman, and knew that the madman's next step
would probably be to throw him off the building. But his pre-
sence of mind suggested a means of escape, and he said to
the madman, "Jump down ! Anybody can jump down ; but
if you'll let me, I'll go down and jump up,which will be much
more
of a feat." in
The madman burst to a laugh, "Ha !
ha!indeed it will; march down and try." So the gentleman
was allowed to go ; and, naturally, the first thing he (lid was
to inform the keepers of the narrow escape he had had, and
to urge them to be a little more careful in future that such a
dangerous lunatic should. not be allowed to put people's lives
