FLANDERS MAIL.

FROM THE TURKISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 14.—Bornia
is again in a state of fermentation. Foreign emis-
saries, among whom some Servians are named, are
said, in conjunction with the refractory Franciscan
monks, to excite the people to disobedience to the
Turkish Government, and to refuse to pay taxes,
holding out the prospect of a union of Bornia with
Servia. In Herzegowina, too, the people refuse to
pay, and a pretty extensive insurrection has broken
out in Colassin, which has obliged the Vizier of
Mortar to adopt rigorous measures and to assemble
troops. The troubles in Turkish Albania likewise
continue. The Seraskier Reschid Pacha, with his
troops, is about Dibra and Tetowa, and is said to
have deposed the Pacha of Dibra, and sent him to
Constantinople. A firman of the Sultan has been
published at Scutari, which prohibits the exercise of
the revenge of blood. The Roman Catholics in this
pachalik are to be greatly oppressed. The Monte-
negrin hordes continue, from time to time, to make
predatory incursions into Turkish Herzegowina, and
the Dalmatian frontiers are molested by them.

CUSTOM-HOUSE APPOINTMENTS

We understand the following arrangements are to
take place immediately :
The office of collector of customs at Glasgow
having become vacant by the retirement of Mr.
M'Murdo, the situation will be filled by the pro.
motion of Mr. Vanderkiste, at present collector at
Belfast.

Mr. Wilcox, collector at Dover, is promoted to
Belfast.

Mr. 'Williams, collector at Dundee, is transferred
to Dover.

Mr. Stuart, collector at Galway, to D undee.
Mr. Richardson, comptroller at Galway, promoted
to the collectorship at that port.
Mr. Dowsley, collector at Westport, County Mayo,
to the comptrollership at Gal vv
Mr. Miller, clerk at Dublin, to the collectorship
at Westport.
By this arrangement an opportunity has been
afforded to make a reduction in the salaries at Dover
and Galway respectively, in consequence of the falling
off in the trade at those ports. It is presumed that
the business at Dover has been affected by the
establishment of a custom- house at Folkstone, and
the resort of passengers to the latter port on their
way to and from France.—Observer.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint
Thomas Unwins, Esq., R A., to be Librarian to the
Royal Academy, in the place of E. L. Eastlake, Esq.,
who has resigned.
We understand that the Rev. Frederick Anson,
brother of Mr. George E. Anson, Prince Alberts' private
secretary, will be the new canon of Windsor, in the place
of the late Hon. and Rev. Mr. Stopford.—Observer.
The Marquis of Lansdowne is recovering from
his recent accident to his foot, and from the attack of
gout with which the Noble Marquis has been troubled.
His Lordship is entertaining a family circle at Bowood
during the holidays, including the Countess of Kerry and
her youthful daughter, the Lady Mary Fitzmaurice. The
Earl and Countess of Shelburne are staying at Lens-
, downs House.
The Marquis of Exeter has forwarded 251. to the
Mayor of Stamford, to be added to the fund for the
relief of the poor of that town during the present incle-
ment season.
The Earl of Glengall, who has been indisposed at
Dublin, is now convalescent. The Noble Earl and the
Countess are not expected to return to Grosvenor-street
until the meeting of Parliament.
We regret to learn that his Grace the Duke of
Beaufort has been seriously indisposed during the last
few days with an attack of gout. The Noble Duke has
been obliged to remain at Hampton Court Palace since
Monday last, the day on which his lamented relative,
Lady Anne Culling Smith, was interred at Egham.
A marriage is said to be on the Lapis between
Colonel Ridley, brother to Sir Matthew White Ridley,
and the Hon. Miss Browne, th• lovely daughter of Lord
Oranmore, and niece to the Dowager Viscountess Dillon

GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.—CHATHAM, DEC. 27;.

--Yesterday the following sentence of a general court-
martial was promulgated in this garrison by order of the
commandant, Sir Thomas Wiltshire, K.C.B. The Com-
mander-in-Chief having had the honour to lay before
the Queen the proses dings of a general court-martial
held at Chatham-barracks en the 2d of November last,
for the trial of James Barnes, No. 1,243 of the 68th
Regiment, who was arraigned upon six distinct charges
of insubordination and outrageous conduct, in offering
violence to Assistrtne-Surgeon C. Irving, of the 68th
Light Infantry, and also to the Hospital Sergeant,
James Ireton, of the same corps ; and for forcing the
sentry over the hospital door at Weimer-barracks, and ab-
senting himself from the regimental hospital whilst
under medical treatment, and not returning until
brought back by an escort the same day in
a state of intoxication, being the fourth
time of his being drunk within twelve months,
thereby constituting an act of habitual drunkenness ;
upon which charges the Court came to the following de••
cision :—The Court baying duly weighed and considered
the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with
the prisoner's plea of guilty to the second charge, as
well as what he has adduced and stated in his defence,
that the prisoner, private James Barnes, is guilty of the
against
gwa nr
t doeshim i
n virtue thereof breachsen-
whole of
efand which being in
thethe
articles charges
tence him, the said prisoner, private James Barnes, to
be transported as a fe'on for the term of seven years.
Her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm tlu-
finding and sentence of the Court, and to command that
the prisoner be transported accordingly beyond the seas
to such place as her Ms jesty, by the advice of her Privy
Council, shall think fit to appoint and direct. —J. Mac-
donald, Adjutant-General. The prisoner was handed
over to an escort of once sergeant and two privates of
the 11th Regiment, and marched for Gravesend en route
for the Penitentiary at Milbank. The prisoner's regi-
sent is lying at Dover.
A Belgian paper mentions that Wilschozk, of
Archangel, who is admitted to be the most expert skater
is Russia, had arrived in Brussels, and was to exhibit his
talent on Sunday (thee 15th), on the basin of St. Jo-se-
ten-Noode. Wilschozit enjoys a vast reputation in St.
Petersburgh, where, i n the art of skating, so highly cul-
tivated in that capital, he is acknowledged to be without
a rival. In 1838 he n 'on a match in skating against a
reindeer, on the sledg •e-drive on the Neva. This race
was won in the presoni :e of the Czar, who on that occa-
sion presented to Wilschozk a magnificent pair of skates,
set with precious stones Since that time he has, by
dint of the most laborious practice, attained such perfec-
tion, that he can perform all sorts of feats and gambols
on the ice. He can sk ate on all fours—that is to say,
having skates on his ha nds as well as his feet, at the same
time imitating perfeedy the movements of the polar
white bear, whose ha.b its he has had the opportunity of
observing in the frigid regions of his native country.—

---
Two years ago a workman, named Haberlandt,
was condemned to death for arson by the Court of As-
size of Bruges, but his sentence was commuted, in con-
sideration of a former good character, by the clemency
-of the King of the Belg ians, into twenty years imprison-
ment, with hard labotne. Last month two men, named
Schlosser and Depem t, who had just been condemned
to death at Ghent for murder, declared to the Pro-
cureur-du-Roi of th at city that Haberlandt had
been unjustly contlem ned, the crime for which he was
tried having been committed by them at the instigation
of an ex-priest of infm nous character, who had agreed to
give them 300 f. if tb ey would perpetrate the deed in
such a way as to must ! suspicion to fall upon Haberlandt,
against whom he had a hatred. They added that, on
the conviction of that innocent man, they received the
wages of their atrocity. The Procureur-du-Roi having
ascertained that the statement of these men was correct,
the King has released Haberlandt from prison, and as-
signed to him an annual pension of 300 r for life.—Ga-
lignitni's Messenger.
[ I'HE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A BAND OF
POACHERS ON THE E ARL OF COVENTRY'S KEEPERS, AT
Cnc•omE.—Yasterday, Superintendent Harris, of the
Pershore station, accompanied by Superintendent Pet-
ford, apprehended three men in Pershore, suspected of
ha Ting been concerned in the fatal affray. They are
severally named Francis Dingley, Samuel Turvey, and
Will!iam Brimfield. They were conveyed to Upton, and
this clay taken for examination before Mr. Stone, but,
in consequence of the witnesses being at Worcester, in
attendance at the inquest on the body of poor Staite, no
evidence was adduced, and they were all remanded till
to-morrow. We understand that Turvey and the three
other prisoners have a Iready been convicted of poaching,
and that strong suspicion exists that all participated in
tl ie late deplorable outrage. Government has offered a
r eward of 501., in addition to that offered by the trus-
toe of the Earl of Coventry, for the apprehension and
conviction of the murderer of poor Staite, besides a free 1
p ardon to any person not being. the actual individual
who injured the ktlepers. The inquest on Staite was
commenced yesterday, and after the examination of
st:feeral witnesses, was adjourned to the 7th of January.
