FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 21.—The King arrived at St. Hubert on
the 14th, and on the 15th went to hunt in the adjoining
forest. The party soon found two wolves, a male and female ;
the former escaped, but the female advanced towards the
King, who, when she was at the distance of 60 paces, fired
and wounded her, and with a second shot killed the animal.
This wolf, which is of extraordinary size, has been sent to
the palace of Lacken, where it arrived yesterday. The Queen
ordered it to be sent to Brussels to be stuffed.

Our readers have not forgotten the unfortunate result which
mauy of our manufacturers experleuced from the expedition
of the ship, the Count of Flanders. This vessel left Ostend
with a cargo of Belgian manufactures, worth
.500,000 francs,
which was confided to the care of M. Commaille, our Consul
at the Cape of Good Hope, who was to sell them by touching
at several transatlantic ports. The vessel sailed in October,
1842, but encountered a violent storm in the Channel, and
was forced to put into. Ramsgate. Disputes ensued.. The
owners of the goods gave some particulars of the arrange-
ment made by M. Commaille with the' shipowners, which
they disapproved, and a law .suit was the consequence. We
now find the following notice in the journali of Bruges and
Ostend :
" This morning at ene o'clock, the Belgian brig, the Count
of Flanders, arrived here, after having stopped sixteen
months in the port of Ramsgate. The vessel will proceed
to Bruges when the goods will be deposited in the entrepOt."
The Weser journal says:—" It is generally believed to be
decided that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will visit
Copenhagen in the course of the next summer, and that they
will perhaps be accompanied by some other members of the
Imperial family."
TURKEY (no date).—The Turkish Government has estab-
lished a mail for the conveyance of letters between Constan-
tinople and Bagdad, which leaves Constantinople once a
fortnight, and reaches its destination in 19 or 21 days. The
letters to Bagdad must be addressed to a correspondent. in
Constantinople,who is to put them into the post in that city.

arrangements for the military occupation of the country.
The Nenagh Guardian of this day thus reports progress from

" Two cart-loads of ordnance stores, containing five hun-
dred stand of arms, arrived here under a strong escort of the

of the 52d, for Killaloe. On Tuesday there arrived from
Killaloe, under the escort of the 52d, a quantity of ammuni-
tion, to the amount of 20,000 rounds of ball cartridge, for the
use of the troops in this depot, and a like quantity to pro-
ceed to Templemore and Roscrea."
The war-steamer Tartarus sailed from Dingle, county of
Kerry, on Sunday last, on a cruise along that coast. The
war-steamer Stromboli is still stationed in Ventry harbour,
on the Kerry coast. The chief occupation of the officers of
both steamers has been the agreeable one of attending balls
and pleasure parties amongst the gentry residing in the vi-
cinity.

RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZI.
perceive in the Evening Edition of last night's
Sun a paragraph headed " The price of Bread," in which it
is stated that the bakers rose the bread yesterday to NA,
and some of the West-end bakers even to 10d. "per loaf."
Allow me, Sir, to contradict this false statement, for the
highest price] of bread is but 94., and the greater part of the
trade charge only 84d. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
A FULL PRICE BAKER,

(A Correspondent in stating what he considers a fact,
should always give his name, for communications like this,
made on anonymous authority, lose half their value. Our
Correspondent on referring to other journals will find that
The Sun was not singular in making the announcement re-
ferred to.)

REFORM IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.-At 8.
meeting of medical men, held on Wednesday night at the
Crown and Anchor, in the Strand, at which Mr. Wakley,
M.P., Dr. Lynch, Mr. Cooper, and other gentlemen, were
present, an address was adopted, setting forth, in very pointed
and intelligible terms, the indignation of a portion of the
medical profession at the late Charter to the College of Sur-
geons, and the measures of medical reform propounded by
the Government. Mr. Wakley addressed the meeting,
among other gentlemen, and congratulated them on the
appearance of unanimity presented by their present pro-
ceedings. For twenty years that he had been writing against
abuses under which the profession laboured, he had always
had to contend against the want of concentration and united
action exhibited by medical men. lie promised them, now
that they seemed determined to persevere, all the aid he
could give them in Parliament; and it would be their own
fault if they did not let Parliament know what it was they
wanted.—(Cheers.) The address was approved of by the
meeting, and it was agreed that it should be submitted for
adoption to an aggregate meeting of the profession, to be
called next month.

A Yourfla GIANT.--Yesterday an inquest was
held before Mr. Carter, at the Archduke Charles, White Hart-
street, Kennington-lane, as to the death of John Newcomb,
aged 13. The deceased was the son of Newcomb, one of the
oldest officers at Union-hall. Upon the jury going to view
the body they were perfectly astonished at the appearance.
The boy, though so young, weighed about 14 stone, and his
height was five feet four. The circumference of his chest was
38 inches, and he dared not go out because he was so annoyed
by the boys in the neighbourhood. The Coroner and jury
upon their return said they had never witnessed such a sight
before. It appeared by the evidence of the mother of tbe de-
ceased, that he had from his birth been affected with some
disease o the chest. On Saturday he was very ill and went
to bed. On Sunday his mother was about getting fresh
sheets for his bed, when he suddenly turned over, and then
was found dead. After a good deal of evidence, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Natural death."
