BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 24.—We believe that the multiplicity
and importance of the public affairs has prevented the
Council of Ministers from thinking of filling up the post
of Minister of Finance, which is vacant, M. Brabant
having positively refused.
We learn that the Government has ordered the Autho-
rities at Arlon immediately to send M. de Piscatore to
Naktur, where he will be treated in the same manner as
M. Thorn, at Luxemburg. Like M. Thorn, he will be
at liberty to choose a small house for his prison, which he
will have at his own expense, and where he will be
guarded by gerdarmes. He will not be brought before
the Tribunals as the partisans of Tornaco were, and sub-
sequently Messrs. Desprez and Saur ; in a word, he will
be considered and treated as a hostage, and the Government
will set him at liberty at the same time that M. Thorn
shall be released. All the documents relative to his affairs
have ken sent to London, Paris, Frankfort, Berlin, and
Vienna.

The _Lynx says-6' We learn that the Dutch have
caused to he arrested at Luxemburg AI. Zang, one of the
inhabitants of Elleibruck, who assisted in the arrest of the
individuals of the band of Tornaco on the 28th December,
1831. at the bridge of that town. They pretend that
they have a right to do this, because the Tribune of Na-
inur having declared those persons innocent, the authors
and accomplices of their arrest are liable to ar) action for
damaueß."

Yesterday afternoon a Dutch steamer came u,) the river
as far as the Comet—at six o'clock it returned. It was
observed that a boat had two superior officers on board,
who were landed at the Citadel.

The .Izrnal des Flandres says--" We were mistaken
in stating that the Rev. Mr. Spencer was in this city_
the Prelate now here is the Rev. Mr. Mq-lale, an Irish
Bishop.

" Last Saturday General Niellon sent a superior officer
with a flag of truce to L'Ecluse, to require that the waters
should be let off. 'Fhe request was muted by the Military
Authorities at L'Ecluse, and the operation of letting off
the water was begun before the officer left."

BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—The troops of the 24 Division,
assembled between Diest and Montargu, will be reviewed
to-day by the King, who will leave Brussels, with the
Queen, to go to the ground. Their Majesties will return
to Louvain, wbe a they will pass the night. On Friday
morning the King will review the 2d Regiment of the Line
and the Cuirassiers. Their Majesties will return to Brits.
Bel.. on Friday evening.
Marshal Morti,r (the Duke of Treviso), the Ambassa-
dor of France at St. Petersburizh, arrived yesterday at
Brussels, with his Secretary the Prince of Eukinuhl, on
his way to Paris.
General Sir Thomas Hislop has arrived from Spa.
_ _ . _

M. A. Piscatore arrived at Namur on the 24th, .escorted
by two gendarmes, and was immediately taken to ti e Mili-
tary Governor of the Province by the Aide•de-camp of
General Tabor, who accompanied him. He has been lodged
in a decent apartment, in the building occupied by the
gendarmes. Every precaution has been taken to render his
escape impossible.
General Evain and M. de Latour Mairhurg breakfasted
yesterday with Marshal Mortier, who proceeded on his way
to Paris, whrre it was necessary that he should arrive to-
day before noon. The Marshal came direct from St. Pe-
teyshurgh, which he left on the 14th, having taken leave of
the Emperor on the 12th. He much regretted that he was
obliged to leave Brussels without having the honour of
seeing his Majesty.

The Handled)lad, of the 25th October, publishes a
letter from the Hague of the 23d, which contains the fol-
lowing passage :
" To•dny there was a Cabinet Council, which sat from
half-past ten till three o'clock. It is said that it delibe-
rated on the new proposal of the Conference, and that the
question of the navigation of the Scheldt had been placed
by our Government on such a footing chat there is reason
to believe that the proposa!s which are soon going to he
made on our part to the Conference will be considered as
satisfactory, and calculated to preserve peace.
" it is believed that the answer dour Government will
immediately be sent to London."

THE STRENGTH OF OUR ARMY.
(From the Courrier Beige.)

From the moment when the project of bringing the
army of the North into our territory, with approvers
among the Ministerial party, was spoken of, we have
thought that our readers would be gratified by a summary
view of the strength of the Dutch and Belgian armies. It
will also have the additional advantage of displaying the
extent of the meanness of our Government, if it begs from
France the assistance of the army of the North when the
match is equal between Holland and us—when, we may
say, that the balance is in our favour,
The Courrier has given the details of the Dutch force,
which it sums up by saying, " Thus the Dutch army in
the field has only forty-six battalions and twenty-nine
squadrons, with 108 pieces of cannon ; while the Belgian
army of the Centre has fifty-six battalions, forty-two

Nib
squadrons, and 130 pieces of cannon ; to which it must
he added, that the battalions of the Civic Guard in Hol-
land are much weaker than those of the line."—Brussels
Papers, Oct. 27.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The racing season closes with this meeting, which will,
to all appearance, afford an extraordinary quantity of
sport ; it is commonly called the ‘. hay and straw meet-
ing," as every horse that has a run left in him is brought
out in matches or handicaps, in the hope of paying the
expense of training. Nearly 40 races already stand in
the list, the majority of them matches, some of which
are of great importance, as well from the high character
of the horses as for the heavy sums at issue upon them.
The Criterion Stakes for two-year olds, is the great bet-
ting race of the week ; it possesses unusual interest, the
winters of the Clearwell and Prendereast Stakes (Glau-
cus and Lord Orford's grey colt) meeting on equal terms,
each giving '7lb. to Dahlia colt and Jason, who ran so well
up to them. The entries for it are 42 in number ; of these
the following have already appeared in public :—Glaucus,
(71h. extra), Lord Orford's colt (71h.), Jason, Dahlia
colt, Weeper (21b. extra), Dirce (21b)., Tarantula, Elvas-
ton, Divan (21b.), br. to Beirain, Janissary, Wonford,
Temperance, f. by Longwaist, out of Lacerta, Emery, and
ch. c. by Dunsinane. The course is a difficult one for
two-year olds, and therefore more calculated to tiring out
a Derby favourite than the other two-year old courses ; it
was last year won by Margrave, Archibald running se.
cond, and both of these have since proved good horses.
There are between 20 and 30 matches ; that between
Priam and Emancipation is not speculated on, as it is be-
yond a doubt that it will not be run. Priam has closed
his racing career, having acquired a celebrity by the excel.
lence of his running that has never been surpassed, per-
haps not equaled. Margrave and Camarine's match at-
tracts much attention, and several thousands are staked
at the making of the match the mare was backed at 5 to
4, but now Margrave is the favourite. Carnarine is al-
most matched for Saturday with Crutch over his own
especial course, the T.Y.C.—he has the call. Glaucus has
two matches independent of his race to-morrow; one for
Wednesday with Lord Tavistock's c. by Jerry, who re •
ceives 91bs. ; and another for 500 on Saturday with Lord
Orford's colt, the result of which will be mainly influenced
by the race to-morrow. On the Wednesday and Thurs-
day all Lord Exeter's horses in training will be put up for
sale with their engagements, not, we believe, because his
Lordship means to decline the turf, but simply to get rid
of the t übbish and make room for the young stock now
coming into training. A ridiculous paragraph has been
circulated by a Stamford paper, stating that, through the
malpractices of his trainer, the Noble Lord has been a
heavy loser on the turf ; in plain terms this is fudge, for
no man in his time has, on the aggregate, been so fortu-
nate. His Lordship has netted nearly 60,0001. in stakes,
besides immense sums in bets.

Betting on the Criterion-5 to 2 agst Glaucus (taken) ;
7 to 2 agst Jason; '7 to 2 agst Lisette (taken) ; 5 to 1
agst Dahild ; 8 to 1 meet Weeper ; two agst the field.
There does not seem any anxiety to back Lisette p.p.
We have reason to expect a full attendance of the Nobi-
lity, several of whom are staying at the Duke of Graf-
ton's, Colonel Peel's, Mr. Thornhill's, and other seats in
the neighbourhood.

The two great female diplomatists of the pre-
sent day, the Princess LIEvEN and the Duchess of DINo,
have, it is said, been particularly active during the last
for night. One of these ladies has received a hint that
(ices not, in these times, sit well upon a female;
but the hint has not been taken. Earl GREY has been
diplomacy
more than once annoyed by this species of interference.—
