is the etiquette for retiring Lord Lieutenants to recorn
mend one of their staff to their successor—Captain Stuart
Paget was the officer selected by the Marquis Wellesley, and
he now holds the same situation in the Househad of the Earl
of Haddington.
The Unattached rank has not bee* in such favour with the army
as the admirers of the late Royal warrant anticipated, and very
few of the old officers have as yet taken the unattached promotion,
but since the return of the Lord Lieutenant, uow Captain
Byrne, 27th regiment, promoted from unattached to a full-
pay company in his old corps, which he had left but a few
weeks past, a decided partiality is evinced for the unattached
rank, as the above instance clearly proves it is not intended to
operate as a bar to further promotion, but rather to facilitate
the advance of meritorious officers in the service.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 25.—The Committee of Manufactures
resumed yesterday its sitting for the discussion of the
question relative to the cotton manufacture, and heard the
statements of some manufacturers. On the other hand,
some deputies of Flanders, assisted by the deputation of
the manufacturers of Ghent, continue their deliberations,
for the purpose of drawing up the basis of a project of law
to be presented without delay to the Chamber ; but as
nothing is finally settled, we cannot give our readers any
certain information on the subject. It seems, however,
that both parties are resolved to urge the question, in
order to arrive at a solution which is equally called for
by the manufacturers and the merchants, who cannot but
suffer from the present state of uncertainty.
The law adopted some time ago by the manufacturers,
allowing certain artizans established in other countries to
import their machinery duty free, has already had a good
effect. M. Devreux, sen., a manufacturer of tulle, esta-
blished at Sedan, though by birth a Belgian, imported
into Belgium, about the middle of last year, fourteen tulle
looms, which he had placed in two manufactories, in one
of which the machinery is put in motion by water,in the
other by the workmen. Almost all the looms are now
at work, and produce daily, in the twenty-four hours,
between seven and eight thousand yards (metres)
of tulle, seven centimetres broad. The work is not
interrupted either by day or night, the workmen re-
lieving each other at stated hours : it stands still only on
Sundays and holidays. This manufacture already employs
in all the necessary operations 200 persons of both sexes in
the town of Bouillon alone. M. Devreux is now endea-
vouring to get women to learn the work in the neighbour-
ing villages, and he has every reason to hope that each of
hose villages will soon have a manufactory, in which all the
poor females will find, both in winter and summer, lucrative
employment.

We do not know from what source a merchant of Co-
logne, whose opinions respecting the iron Rail-road from
the frontier to Cologne, we have quoted from the Journal
of Liege, derived his information, but we are able to say
that it is wholly erroneous. The whole expence instead of
millions of francs as he has stated, appears from the esti-
mates, including every item, to be only 7,328,000, and
enormous as this difference is, it will be still greater in the
execution, as the estimates were made on a much higher
scale than for the sections of the road from Antwerp to
Vervieres. As for his opinion that the subscription is at a
stand, he is equally incorrect ; the surveyors on the Prus-
sian side are actively engaged in the necessary prelimi-
naries, and the work will begin as soon as the proper season
arrives.

The Chamber of Representatives continued yesterday'
the discussion of the Budget of the Minister of Interior.
The part under consideration was the chapter on public
works, i. e., roads and canals.—Brussels Paper; Jan. 26.
(There is no news relative to the health of the Prince

pleased to appoint as members of the German Tribunal of
Arbitration Count Ugarto, Governor or Moravia and Sile-
sia, and Baron Von Hesse, President of the Bohemian
Court of Appeal.
POLAND.—General Rantenstranack, who earries on the
business of the Commission for the relief of officers of the
dissolved Polish army, gives notice that a new grant has
been made to 45 persons for support for three years, to the
amount of 48,650 florins per annum. Among the pen-
sioners are six colonels. The Prince of Warsaw has sent
a donation of 5,000 florins to the Charitable Association of
Warsaw.

BERLIN, JAN. ls.—The health of the Minister of State,
William Von Humboldt, has been improving in the most
satisfactory manner for some months past. He has, to the
great joy of his friends and the public, become stronger in a
very remarkable degree, and is employed without interrup-
tion on his great work on the languages •f the Indian Ar-
chipelago derived from or allied to the Sanscrit. He is at
his beautiful country seat at Tegel.
