FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 4.—We were not informed of the
date of the death of the Duke of Saxe Coburg. We
now learn that it was on the 28th of January, in con-
sequence of an attack of gout in the stomach.
To-day, at noon, the King received, with the
usual ceremony, the great deputations sent by the
Senate and the Chamber of Representatives to offer to
his Majesty the expression of their condolence on the
death of his brother, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha.
His Majesty returned very gracious answers to the ad-
dresses of the Presidents, and of the Senate and of the
Chamber of Representatives, observing that, if he had
lost a beloved brother, Belgium had lost a sincere
friend, who loved that country, which he often visited,
watching with pleasure the improvement of its public
works, its manufactures, and its advance in the sciences
and fine arts, of which he was an enlightened protector.
A great number of Members of both Chambers had
joined their respective deputations, and his Majesty
seemed to be much affected by these marks of sympathy.
RusslA.—(From the Agram Gazette.)—A disagreeable
event in the military school at St. Petersburg is said to
have caused an extraordinary sensation among the Rus-
sian Nobility. One of the masters, having the rank of a
general, who had something odd in his manners, was
laughed at by the pupils in his class, all of them sons of
noblemen. He complained, and at length laid the matter
before the Emperor, who looked on it as a very serious
breach of military discipline ; ho went himself to the in-
stitution, and addressed the class very seriously. When
he threatened all with severe punishment, five youths
declared themselves to be the guilty parties. They re-
ceived each fifty blows with the cane, and were sent to
serve as common soldiers in the army of the Caucasus.
The nobles consider the first part of the punishment as a
violation of their privileges."

Prior and Pharaoh, about whom the odds above quoted were
not obtainable at the close. Business generally was very flat.

500 to 50 agst Leander and Cockamaroo—taken
1200 to 400 Ugly Buck and Rattan—taken
The Buckites, fonder than ever, increased their invest-
ments to a large amount at 6 to 1, took 1,200 to 400 about
their pet coupled with Rattan, and still were not "convinced."
11 to 2 was the closing offer on the field,:and Bto 1 against
Rattan, whose friends stood out for 9to 1. Leander had a
numerous party against him, and so few to "bear up," that
we cannot well quote him at less than 16 to 1 ; the only bets
we heard were 15 to 1 in hundreds, early in the afternoon,
-and 1,000 to 100 against him jointly with 'Orlando, at least
two points above the market price, and of course taken ea-
gerly. Orlando was backed freely at 17 to 1, and anything
above 25 to 1 would have been taken about Coekamaroo. No
other change.
