BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—The Government has received
from the Belgian Consul a decision of the Minister of
Agriculture and Commerce dated the 14th of August
reducing the several terms of quarantine imposed on
goods coming from the Levant.

Letters from Paris have announced that King Leopold
would shortly go to England. Wo know nothing here
of such a journey.
By a royal resolution of the Roth June, Count d'Oul-
trement is discharged from the post of Minister Plenipo-
tentiary at Rome. Another resolution of the Ist of
September confers on Count d'Ooultrement the rank of
Commander of the Order of Leopold.
A man who was lately arrested on suspicion of having
been concerned in a robbery, proved to have committed
a new species of roguery. The blouse and other new
clothes which he wore were given him a few days since
by the Jesuits, when he was baptized, after having
abjured the Protestant religion. But it has since been
discovered that this man has changed his religion two
or three times, receiving each time new clothes and
pecuniary relief.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 17.—The Prussian
Gazette lately contradicted the statement that the ex-
portation of corn from Poland was prohibited ; it is only
partly correct; the prohibition, which is already revoked
in consequence of the abundant harvest, referred only to
the Vistula, that the city of Warsaw and the country on
its banks, which had suffered so severely by the inunda-
tion, might not be exposed to temporary scarcity. The
danger is now past. Tho prices are falling, and one
speculator in corn after another is obliged to stop pay-
ment. The losses are said to be immense, but the spe-
culators were really extravagant.
The new agrarian legislation is Poland causes a very
great sensation; The ecclesiastical institutions are de-
prived of the independent encouragement of their estates.
The State fetters the land with the condition that the
peasants shall be emancipated during the lease. The
clergymen are thus deprived of a great portion of their
influence, and a prospect opened to the peasant of be-
coming in time a free landowner.

RAILWAYS TO YORIC.—It would appear that there
are no less than three projects for railways from Lon
don to York. The line, however, which has been ac-
tually surveyed by its engineer, Sit' John Rennie, and
termed the " Direct Northern Railway," is attracting
amongst practical men the greatest attention. This
line will form the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull,
Halifax, Bradford, Huddersfield, 'Wakefield, Ponte-
fract, and Sheffield, thus commanding the traffic of the
manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, as well as that
from the north of England, Scotland, Lincolnshire, and
the other agricultural districts through which it passes,
and, moreover, opening an easy communication be.
tween Norfolk and Suffolk, and the West and North
of England. It would further seem, by a reference to
the map, that Sir John Rennie has taken a course for
the Direct Northern line which possesses the advantage
of being much shorter in extent than the other projects,
being less by 39 miles than the one, and 20 miles shorter
than the other.
