BELGIUM.

A letter from Rome of the 11th, in the Risorgi-
rnento of Turin, states that the Roman police has made
some more domiciliary visits with a view to discover the
authors of certain clandestine publications. Count BED...
MONT, an old French officer, is now at Rome; it is gene-
rally believed he has been sent by the French Cabinet in
order to organize a pontifical army by ordinary con-
scription.—Five dragoons posted at Capraola Romag-
na have deserted with their arms and horses, and
gone over to the banditti of Il Passatore. The cor-
respondent adds that Roman paper-money is now at
3 per cent. discount only, whereas a few months ago
it was at 12 per cent.

Lord IVharncliffe has withdrawn from a contest
with Lord Redesdale for the chairmanship of committees in
the House of Lords. Lord Redesdale's election is now cer-
tain.—Herald.
DEATLI OF CAPTAIN BALDwIN•—On SOurclay last
Captain Baldwin, a well-known resident of this town, ex.
pired. He had seen a great deal of service, and had recently
received his medal, on which were several clasps. At the
storming of Badajoz he led next to the forlorn hope, and
when in the breach received a spent musket-ball in his
breast. At Albuera he was also wounded. He was also at
Salamanca, Vittoria, and Waterloo.—lpswich Express.
HARWICH RAILWAY.__ We hope the prospects for
this railway are brightening. On Saturday last, Messrs Box
M'Phael, Rows, and Pleydel, gentlemen extensively en-
gaged in the affairs in the Eastern Counties Railway, as
shareholders, accompanied by C. P. Roney, Esq., the secre-
tary of the company, visited the port of Harwich, and from
inquiries made of those who had the privilege of being intro-
duced to them, every expectation may be indulged that in
so far as the Eastern Counties Railway Company is con-
cerned the works on the Harwich Railway will be imme-
diately proceeded with. After dining with the worthy Mem-
ber for the borough, at Cliff House, the party proceeded
to the station at Manningtree, en route to London.-4mcirh

THE PRTCE OF BEER.—AD association, for the re-
duction of the brewers charges, is in the course of formation
amongst the agriculturists of Berkshire.
ROYAL BANK OF AIISTRALTA.—Yesterday there
was a meeting of the parties interested in the winding-up of
this concern. Mr. Selwyn appeared on behalf of the North
British Insurance Company, which claims to be a creditor of
the bank in respect of a loan of 27,0001. Some witnesses
were called in support of the claim, and the further hearing
of the matter was adjourned at halt-past four o'clock.
CARLISLE AND LIVERPOOL STEAM COMPANY.--
This old-established firm is about to discontinue the com-
munication which it has kept up for so many years between
Port Carlisle, Liverpool, and Belfast. The whole of its means
and appliances. including its well-appointed steamers Cum-
berland and Newcastle, are advertised for disposal.—Ca, lisle
Journal.

We are glad to state that Lord John Russell has
unsolicitedly appointed the second sou of Mr. Douglas Jer-
rold to a clerkship in the Treasury.
THE NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY.—Persons
holding supposed forfeited shares in this railway are recom-
mended not to part with them, and they may prove more
valuable than supposed, as it becomes a question whether
they can be legally issued to the public again.—From a Cor-
respondent.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.--THE
DIVIDEND. - It is the intention of the directors of this com-
pany, at the general meeting to be held on the 18th proximo,
to recommend a dividend for the half-year ending 31st of
December, 1850, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the
capital stock.

TRIAL BY JIIRY.--The first trial by jury took place
at Vienna on the 15th instant. The Minister of Justice, M.
von Schmerling, and a crowded audience, attended this cere-
mony. The culprit—a girl accused of incendiarism and
other offences—twas found guilty, and sentenced to three
years' hard labour.

CONFLAGRATION AT THE VILLAGE OF GODMAN•
CHESTER, HUNTINGDONSHIRE.—The train arriving at King's-
cross by the Great Northern Railway at three o'elock this
morning, brings intelligence of a fire which broke out in
the village of Godmanchester at nine o'clock last night,
and which was still raging at a quarter to two o'clock this
morning.

DEATH OF FIELD-MARSHAL GROSVENOR.—On
the afternoon of Monday last this venerable officer, who was
one of the six field-marshals of England, and colcnel of the
65th Regiment, died at his residence at Richmond, Surrey,
at a very advanced age. So far back as 1779 he entered the
army as ensign in the 3d Foot Guards, in which regiment he
continued for many years. In 1793 he accompanied the 3d
Foot Guards to Holland, and served with them in Holland
and Flanders; he went with the expedition to the Helder
in 1799, and was present in the affair at the lines of Zuype
(where he was wounded), at the battle of Alkmaer, and in
the actions of the 17th of September' 6th and 9th of October.
At the siege of Copenhagen, in 1807, be commanded the
pickets and outposts when the Danes were repulsed, and
after a bombardment of three days the city capitulated to
the British naval and military forces. Lieutenant-General
Grosvenor served in the Viralcheren expedition in 1809, and
at the siege of Flushing was next in command to Sir Eyre
Coote. Since 1814 he held the colonelcy of the 65th Regi-
ment, which is thus vacant. In 1846 he was made a field-
marshal, together with the Marquis of Anglesey and the late
Sir George Nugent.

LIE NEW BRIDGE AT BATTERSEA.--Yesterday
the construction of the coffer dam, preparatory to the erec-
tion of this bridge, was commenced. The structure is to
cross the river in a line drawn from the Red House, on the
Surrey side, to the White House, on the north bank of the
river.

CARDINAL WISEMAN.—With reference to a state-
ment in one of the morning papers, that Cardinal Wiseman
has had notice of an intended prosecution for a misdemeanour,
we are at liberty to state that no such notice has been given
on the part of the Government. We believe that a document
has been sent to his Eminence at the instance of a gentleman
legally eonnected with the City, containing some admissions
which the Cardinal is requested to make, in order to raise
the question of the legality, or otherwise, of his archiepiscopal
assumptions. The step has been taken in the exercise of the
right which belongs to every subject, to institute a prosecu-
tion in any case in' which he may consider the criminal law
of the country violated, and without the cognizance of her
Majesty's law officers.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—It may be important to
the mercantile community to learn that no American mail
will be dispatched hence until next Saturday week, the Ist
of February.

SMART CHILDREN.—The great objection to smart
children is, that when they commence having whiskers they
leave off having brains. Boys that are philosophers at six
years of age, are generally blockheads at twenty-oae. By
forcing children, you get so much into their heads that they
become cracked ill order W hold it.

The Brussels journals of yesterday do not announce
the termination of the Ministerial crisis, but they
state that the Ministers bad deliberated without the
Minister of War, and that the Minister of the Interior
had had an interview with the KING.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburgh, dated the
18th, at three P.M., states—
" That the conferences between the Stathalterschafc
and the Commissioners commenced again yesterday
afternoon, and lasted till midnight.
"On several points an understanding has been
effected.

" Froderichsort is to be occupied by the Danes ;
Rendsburg will probably be held by a mixed garrison
of Danish and Austrian troops; but the last point is not
definitively settled."
The latest advices from Copenhagen inform us of
the state of public opinion respecting the late events
in Holstein. The general impression which was
made by the news of the submission of the Stadthol-
ders was most favourable, but it was not considered
that the arrangements about garrisoning Rendsburg
and Friedricheort would be sanctioned by the Danish
Government. The Danish Commissioners have con-
sequently been instructed to assert the rights of their
Government with respect to these fortresses.

ITALY.
The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 17th, publishes
a long letter from Father FAVA, the Provincial of the
Jesuits at Naples, in which he denies the imputation
cast upon him by a correspondent of that journal—
via., that the judicial proceedings against the per-
sons who took part in driving the Jesuits from Na-
ples on the 10th March, 1848, had been chiefly com-
menced at his instigation. He contends that those
proceedings had commenced before the Jesuits
were aware of them, and that he had not given a list
of persons accused of complicity in the matter, nor
information as to their previous tenor of life.' He
quotes his examinations, and those of the other fa-
thers, before the examining judges as a proof of his
assertions, and adds that many persons who, being
implicated in the affair, had applied to him for certi-
ficates exonerating them from any imputation, had
obtained the said certificates under his hand and seal.
A letter from Florence, in the Genoa Gazette,
announces that the Constituzionale has been suspended
for a month, as well as the Statute, for an article
against the new theatrical regulations issued by the
Minister of the Interior.
