BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—The average price of wheal
last week was 18f. 38c. and that of rye 10f. Ne'
The export and import duties remained as before.
Mr. Barbieux, architect, has just signed a contract
with the Belgian Colonisation Company, to direct the
buildings and works which the Company intend to
erect at Saint Thomas. Mr. Barbieux will embark
very shortly for that colony, and will take a number
of workmen with him.
We have often pointed out the conduct of the iron
°I
masters in France. We published a year ago v.
mates which prove what this monopoly would cost the
State merely for the construction of iron railwar;
We are happy to see that these ideas are understoeu
and defended in France. We find in the Siede 911
article on the last supply of rails for the Norther
t
Railway, which was proposed by the Governreeni
and issued by the iron masters, because they foulT.
the price of 332 and 330 francs per ton insufficient
We know that some establishments, for instance'
Alairs Decazeville and Terre None, could Wow'
the rail with profit at 210 francs, and even lower'
Such abuses cannot long resist public exposure. Arnt
POLISH FRONTIER, SEPT. 6.—1 have to state IP-
many preparations indicate that the Russian Govern'
ment is seriously determined to remove a portion o,
the Jewish population from the frontiers to the 1,1"
terior of the Kingdom. There is great alarm amonig
the Jews. Their removal from the frontier would
certainly contribute in some degree to prevent sla.afe
gling, but this is already rendered almost impose e
by the severe penalties inflicted. If the frontiers Ti,er,,
closed by a Chinese wall there could scarcely be le"
intercourse than at present.
