BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—The average price of wheat
last week was 18f. 38c. and that of rye 10f. 304 i.
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
masters in France. We published a year ago esti-
mates which prove what this monopoly would cost the
State merely for the construction of iron railways.
We are happy to see that these ideas are understood
and defended in France. We find in the Siecle an
article on the last supply of rails for the Northern
Railway, which was proposed by the Government,
and issued by the iron masters, because they found
the price of 332 and 330 francs per ton insufficient.
We know that some establishments, for instance,
Alairs Decazeville and Terre None, could furnish
the rail with profit at 210 francs, and even lower.
Such abuses cannot long resist public exposure.
Fount FRONTIER, SEPT. 6.—1 have to state that
many preparations indicate that the Russian Govern-
ment is seriously determined to remove a portion of
the Jewish population from the frontiers to the in-
terior of the Kingdom. There is great alarm among
the Jews. Their removal from the frontier would
certainly contribute in some degree to prevent smug-
gling, but this is already rendered almost impossible
by tho serere penalties inflicted. If the frontiers were
closed by a Chinese wall there could scarcely be less
intercourse than at present.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
HOLSTEIN, SEPT. is strange that public
journals have taken so little notice of the striking in-
telligence that the Diet of the Confederation has re-
solved to renew and confirm the resolutions respect-
ing the press which It agreed to in the year 1832.
The correctness of the intelligence is incontrovertably
proved by the official communication of it by the Go-
vernment of Holstein to the Estates of that Duchy.
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 6.—lt is said that the corona-
tion of the King and Queen is fixed for the 25th of
September.
BERLIN, SEPT. 9.—His Royal Highness Prince
Waldemar has set out on his travels. It is understood
that the young Prince
will go first to Greece and then
to Egypt, Asia Minor, and India, and to visit parts of
China as may be acceptable. Two chests have arrived
from England for his Royal Highness, which containi
all imaginable machinery for such a journey, n-
cluding many closed vessels, with provisions and
liquors.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, SEPT. 2.—Letters from St.
Petersburgh say that the Emperor, by the advice
of the Minister of Public Instruction, has given
orders to send
a number of young men, at the ex-
pense of the Government, to Germany, Switzerland,
France, Italy, and
England, there to be qualified for
the office of teachers in the Russian Universities.
The persons to be selected are to be not merely men
of talent, but of approved political sentiments, and
pure character, that they may return home uncor-
rupted. The object of this measure is to rid gradually
the Russian Universities of foreign professors, who,
even with the best intentions, introduce foreign
elements, and will never entirely submit to the
Russian censorship and the military regulations.
The employment of foreign men of learning has
been long considered at St. Petersburgh as a neces-
sary evil, to which recourse was had only in the most
urgent cases. This new measure may satisfy the
Russians, but the German youth in the Baltic pro-
vinces are to be parties, who will not only be deprived
of the benefit of a German education, but be driven
nearer and nearer to Russian manners.

OSTEND AND DOVER.---The increase in the number
of passengers during the month of August last over the
corresponding month of last year, was, according to the
official return, 1,875. The number would have been still
greater if the authorities at the Admiralty had not re-
tused to accept the tickets of the South-Eastern Railway,
whose agent would have been sent on board at Dover
and Ostend to convert the said tickets into sovereigns
in payment of the passage-money by the Government
packets.
