FLANDERS MAIL.

BitussELs, Nov. 2.—lt has long been in contem-
plation to improve the course of the river Aleuse.
We now find in a journal of Liege a letter which, to
demonstrate the necessity of these ameliorations,
mention= three more accidents which have lately oc-
curred at Liege, on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of Oc-
tober, by boats striking the piles of the bridge.
These accidents (says the letter) are only the repeti-
tion of those which, during the last twenty years,
have taken place every winter on the Meuse, in con-
equence of the defective course of the river to the
commune of Liege, which has already cost the lives
of many persons, and ruined many others.
The impartial of Bruges says—" The conductor of
Messrs. Van Guid and Co., who was arrested in Eng-
land, has been set at liberty, after giving up the
35,000 Francs which he had stolen, and made good
all the expenses which have been incurred on this
occaAon. The money was sent to Brussels yesterday.

TILVIT.—In the night of the 22d of October, the
frontier bridge at Tilvit was for the second time this
year broken through by the violence of the stream,
which, in consequence of the rain on the preceding
days, had risen to the height of sixteen feet, and also
by two rafts of timber which had got loose. The
bridge is so much damaged that it cannot possibly be
repaired for some time to ceme. The flying bridge
was used to restore the communication, and car-
riages and persons were put over without any diffi-
culty. The rain was subsiding rapidly on the 23d.
STOCKHOLM, OCT. 25.—The Dagligh Alleband
says that the republic of Venezuela have sent an Am-
bassador hither to congratulate his Majesty on his
accession.

BERLIN, OCT. 26.—The well-known M. Von
Gretsch, who but lately returned to Russia, is all on
a sudden come back to Berlin, and is announced in
our list of strangers as " Imperial Russia's Actual
Counsellor of State" out of employ. It is well known
that he took all possible pains to refute the Marquis
Custine's work on Russia, in which he did not suc-
ceed, therefore he finds being at St. Petersburgh riot
very agreeable.

pronounced against " The Wandering Jew," and the
pastors of those churches have delivered to the censor
a very unsightly, and, for our days, a very significant
remonstrance, against the reprinting of " The Wan-
dering, Jew" in, the journals published under the title
of Ernst and Seherz. This journal in consequence
of considerations on the part of the publisher, which
could not be overcome, has been obliged to defer the
continuation of this amusing article.—Haniburgh
Papers, Nov. 1.

Tux FOG.—So dense was the fog during a great
part of yesterday, throughout the metropolis, that
gas, oil, and candles were called into general requisi-
tion, not only in the public shops, but in private houses,
And the coach thoroughfares were so exceedingly.dan-
gerous to travel, that it required the omnibus drivers,
&c., to exercise the utmost caution in the management of
their vehicles, in order to avoid accidents.

The Guano trade, notwithstanding the irregularities
that have recently taken place in the way of adultera-
tion, is likely to be one of rising importflnce in this
ccuntry. Several cargoes have very .recently been dis-
posed of at Hull and• Liverpool, and here also, at advanced
prices. When it is considered that there arc at present
not far short of two hundred sail of vessels employed in
the trade, giving en impetus to the shipping interest,
and largely benefittine. the agriculturists, the utmoA
protection that is possible ought to be afforded to those
who take risks in the enterprise. Such, however, is not
the fact. The latest accounts from Ichaboe state that
the greatest irregularities were committed, by attempts
of foreign vessels to take in cargoes out of turn, and
serious collisions were expected to occur. A sloop of
war was expected daily on the station,, and this would,
doubtless, put a speedy stop to intrusions.
There are no arrivals to-day with late foreign news.
The Funds aro rather better to-clay.' Consols for
immediate transfer have realised 994 to 'loo*, and tor
time 100 to 104. Exchequer-bills are flat at 655. to
635. premium. East India Bonds have hems 90s. prem.
Bunk Stock has been 204 to 204 f. The .New Three-

per Cents., Reduced, 99* to 1. Long Annuities are 12 to
12 1-16. The Commissioners have purchased Three
per Cents, and New Stock to the amount of 25,0001.
There is a rather buoyant market for the foreign in-
vestments. Spanish Active Bonds have touched 24 to
; and the Three per Cents., 35+ to *; Portuguese Old
Bonds are at 85. Mexican have been 344 8 ; and Bra-
zilian New, 84 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
marked 6211 i; and the Five per Cents., 99 *, being firm.

donation of 51, and Doctor Brady one guinea.
THE Hoot NUISANCE.—Monday a porter wait
carrying a load of ironmongery on a knot on hie head in
Queen Anne-street, Cavendish •stinare, when a boy trun-
dliug a hoop on the foot-payeun-nt rolled it between his
legs and threw him to the ground ; on being raised up it
was found that the unfortunate man had sustained a corn-
pound fracture of the left thigh. He was immediately
removed to the Middlesex Hospital, rs hero the. fracture
was reduced. It is to be hoped that the police will have
instructions to prevent the nuisances which are attended
with such lamentable and serious consequences.
GREAT FOOT RACE • FOR TWENTY Pounos.---On
Monday the race between the two celebrated runners,
John Smith (the Regent-street Pet) and Jackson (the
American Deer), came .off near the Old rrat Inn, at
Ealing, in the presence of about three thousand specta-
tors. Roth men had acquired great notoriety by their
previous performances, and the race created great in-
terest. In betting sto 4 was laid on Smith ; at the start
they went away at a great pace. Smith took the lead
closely followed by his opponent, and when within two
hundred yards of the winning goal, both men made
strenuous exertion, and, after a well-contested race,
Smith came in the winner by ten yards. - The half mile
of road was ran in two minutes and twenty-eight seconds,
