BELGIAN AND GERMAN PAPERS.

LACBACH (IN ILLYRIA), Nov. 10.—Detachments of
troops have been continually passing through this town for
some weeks past ; these troops are coming back from Italy.
They are Germans, Hungarians, Croats, Sclavonians,
Bohemians, and also Carinthians. There are some very
fine corps among them, especially the Croats and the fron-
tiet regiments, the latter all inhabitants of the country on
the frontier of Turkey.—Frankfort Paper, Nov. 21.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 22.—Dr. Coremans, who has long re.
sided in Germany, has arrived at Brussels, his native city.
The Union says—" The Mercury has been mistaken,
and we after it, in stating that there had been deposited in
the Bank of Belgium, to be converted, various Spanish
Bonds to the amount of sixty millions of francs (nominal
capital), and thirty millions of Coupons. The total amount
is not estimated at more than seventy or seventy-two mil-
lions, of which, it is true, there are sixty-five millions in
Bonds, but only from five to seven millions in Coupons.
To this sum, which is itself enormous, must be added the
Bonds already converted to Belgian account, at Paris and
London, those not offered for conversion, and the Bonds of
the Deferred Debt of 1831."

In a few days the Bank of Belgium will issue a new se-
ries of notes payable to bearer ; they will be for 40 francs,
and printed on yellow paper.
A journal announces, that the Government not having
any funds that it can apply to that object, it is not able to
realize the plan which it had conceived, of ordering a cer-
tainnumber of statues of distinguished Belgians.

Nov. 23.—The Courrier Beige says that all the sections
of the Chamber of Representatives which are now examin-
ing the budgets, have unanimously rejected that article in
the Budget of the War_ Department, which proposes a sum
for the foundation of a School of Military Medicine, which,
as that journal says, was projected by M. Vlemincks.
A letter from Berlin, of the 14th, says—" Since Count
Orloff has been here, the affairs of Belgiuin and Holland, and
the differences which have so long hindered the solution of
this important question, have again become -the subject of
conversation in our political circles. It is hoped that the
Count has to deliver to his Sovereign an important notice
on the overtures made by the British Cabinet to the con-
tinental Powers. On the manner in which it shall be re-
ceived, may depend the actual recognition of the Belgian
Government by Russia, and the sending of accredited Mi-
nisters to the respective Courts.
A letter from Antwerp of the 21st November, says :
" The Insurance Companies of Antwerp have given orders
to their Agents, respecting insurances against the dangers
of war. We are assured they have forbidden such insu-
rances, or at least fixed the terms on which they would con-
sent to undertake them."

In the Chamber of Representatives on the 21st, the
Minister of Finance presented the general statement of the
situation of the 'Treasury on the Ist of November. He
merely observed that, notwithstanding the extraordinary
expenses which had been incurred, the receipt had equalled
the expenditure, and that the situation of the Treasury
had not become unfavourable.

In the sittin-, of the 23d, the law on the LoS-rentes was
finally passed by a majority of 42 to 13. Seven Members
refrained fro►rn voting for various reasons.
A project of law for imposing a duty on Foreign Cloth,
wks then brought under discussion. It was warmly sup-
ported by M. A. Rodenbach, and opposed by M. Rogicr.
Adjourned. _

FRONTIERS OF ITALY (no date.)—lt is affirmed that
the King of Naples has effected a loan of 25 millions
of francs for Don • Carlos, to IN 111C11 most of the Italian
Princes have subscribed, in order that Don Carlos may
not be cramped in his operations at the present moment,
,when he. especially feels the want of funds. Respecting
the terms of the convention concluded on this subject, no
particulars are known, except that he is not bound to
pay this sum till he shall have ascended the throne. Mea-
sures are now under consideration, to send this large sum
in the safest manner to its destination. We do not con-
ceive how such financial negotiations can be carried oa
without being known. on 'Change. If the above statements
arc correct, they may throw some light on the various jour-
nics of the Infant Don Miguel and the Princess of Beira,
and perhaps the late residence of the Infant Don Sebastian
at Naples, and his late journey to the head quarters of Don
Carlos, are perhaps connected with it. It is hoped that of
the levy of 100,000 men proposed by M. Mendizabal, a
third part may be secret adherents of Don Carlos, whose
being provided with •arms may be more useful to his cause
than to that of the Queen, when an opportunity offers to
desert with safety.

TußNlPs.—The turnip crop of England has been
a total failure everywhere. We understand that many
of the extensive graziers and cattle-feeders in the
south of England are using wheat as a substitute, and it is
found to succeed wonderfully well. After thrashing it is
boiled in the chaff. Where the wheat has been winnowed,
chaff is mixed with it. There is no doubt but that it is the
most nutritious and the cheapest food which can be given.
—Blackburn Gazette.

Rents must be lowered, or the tenant will be forced
to quit the soil and leave its cultivation to the proprietor.
In many parts of the world, the exaction of tithes alone
would disable tho cultivator of land from gaining any return
for labour and capital. In this country it is expected that
rent and tithe shall be duly discharged, whatever be the
prices of produce. If the farmer be unable to pay the
stipulated rent, it is expected that the deficiency shall be
made up by a tax levied upon the nation at large 1 How
strange that men cannot or will not see the preposterous
injustice of these schemes of partial taxation. -What is
the owner of land more than the owner of ships, houses,
or factories, that he should lay claim to special compensa-
tion when, by the change of circumstances, his property has
diminished in value ?—Hull Observer.

FLOOD AT GOOLE, IN LINCOLNSHIRE.-Ou
Monday morning, bet Ween eight ,and nine o'clock, there
being a very high tide at Goole, the extraordinary pressure
of water broke down the piles of a dam at the dock, and
immediately overflowed the whole town, inundating every
cellar belonging to the tradesmen and merchants, and also
filling the bond cellars of the extensive warehouses. The
damage done will, it is feared, be found to be very consi-
derable ; but, as the water had only subsided a few feet
when our informant left Goole, it was impossible to say to
what amount.

On Friday night last, about eleven o'clock, being a
little before high wafer, the schooner, Carlisle, of Liver-
pool, chartered to take in iron ore for Cardiff, attempted to
enter this port. The master states that he hoisted lights
previous to making the attempt and during it, but failing
to make good his entrance, dropped his anchor to prevent
the vessel going on the new north pier. The boat was got
out, and the master and his wife extricated from the surf,
and got on shore, and an attempt was made to-save some
of the clothing and other articles, but the crew loosing
hold of the painter, the communication with the land was
lost, and the vessel rolling over on her beam ends, the crew,
three in number, remained some hours on the side in a
a very precarious situation. A little after eight, Mr. Col-
lins, the harbour master, came down with Dennett's mor-
tar apparatus, belonging to this port, but the weather rather
moderating, it was thought better to attempt to save them
in a boat than to run the risk of dragging them through
the surf. Accordingly a fishing boat was with some diffi-
culty launched from Parton, and brought round at much
risk, by two seamen named John Gill and William Rout-
ledge, and with great courage and dexterity, they succeeded
in their perilous mission, and brought all three safe off
about eleven o'clock. The master and his wife and ex-
hausted crew were received with the greatest kindness and
hospitality by the people of Parton.--Whitehaven Heral d

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1635.

A Meeting of the Westminster Electors was held
yesterday on the subject of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S
late extraordinary letter to the Members of Brookes's,
relative to Mr. O'Cox.NELL, at which a resolution
was moved and passed, without one dissentient voice,
to the effect that, " the imprudent and uncalled-for letter
of the Hon. Baronet, which has so recently appeared
in the public prints, ought to receive the unani-
mous and strongest condemnation of the liberal
electors of the city 'of Westminster, as it is
an unjust attack upon one of the most active
and ta!ented representatives of the people, as well
as on the present Government, which he has
so honourably supported." This is a decided step,
but not more so than the occasion called for. Sir
FRANCIS by his attack on O'CONNELL has not only
damaged his own character for political sagacity, but
he has actually been playing the game of the Tories--
those. very identical men whom he has always professed
to hold in such abhorrence, and to whose misdeeds he
has applied language quite as violent, if not worse,
than any Mr. O'CONNELL has applied to the Dukes
of CUMBERLAND or WELLINGTON. The object of
the Tories is of course to produce a split between
the Whigs and the Radicals, and so, taking advantage
of the division, to slip into place themselves ; and it is at
the very moment when the faction is most exerting itself
to bring about this darling object, that Sir FRANCIS'S
injudicious letter appears. What, under such circum-
, stances, must be the natural inference in every man's
mind, who reads this unlucky epistle ? Why this,
that the writer is catching at, what he conceives to be,
a plausible opportunity of deserting his old colleagues
—for who was once, and indeed for the better part of
his life, a more thorough going Radical than the Hon.
Baronet ?—and throwing himself into the arms of the
Conservatives. If this be not the intention of his letter
we know not what is ; for it is impossible to imagine
for an-instant, that a man who has had such an ex-.
tensive acquaintance with the world as Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT ; who has presided at so many Radical
meetings and dinners, where he has both uttered him-
self, and listened to from others, the most intemperate
declamations ; and, moreover, who knows as well, per-
haps better, than any Statesman of his day, the ex-
treme lengths to which party spirit will carry
even the soberest and most dispassionate politician ;
it is impossible to imagine that a Statesman so
circumstanced, can seriously take affright at a
hasty, ill-judged phrase, or resent it as such a heinous
breach of social etiquette, as should subject the perpe-
trator to expulsion from good society ! The Ho-
nourable Baronet's letter, then, forces one or other of
these two convictions on our mind—either that he re-
pents him of his Liberalism, and is about to enlist
under the Conservative banner; or else that he is far,
very far indeed, advanced in his dotage. As the most
charitable conclusion, we prefer the last ; but then
comes the consideration whether it is fit that the elec-
tors of Westminster should longer allow themselves to
he misrepresented by a dotard ? We wonder Sir
FRANCIS, who is such a stickler for the gen-
tilities, has . never proposed the expulsion -of
the cock-crowers from St. Stephens. As a Member
of that august Assembly, he must surely feel himself
disgraced by the countenance given to such ungentle-
manlike practices To interrupt 0119 Hon. Member
