FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS..
BRUSSELS, Nov. 10.—The King presided to-day in a
Council of Ministers.
On Tuesday, the 18th of November, at one in the after-
noon, 40 bonds of the loan of 14 millions, to be repaid on the
Ist of January;lB46, will be drawn by lot at the Town-hall.
M. Dumortier, Member of the Chamber of Deputies and-
of the Academy of Science, has just presented to that learned
body a paper on the disease in potatoes. According to M. Du-
mortier the disease is not to be attributed either to micrdeco-
pical insects or to parasitical fungi, or to the degenerating off
the plant. The origin of the disease, he says, is that which
commonly attacks fruit trees, especially peach trees, and it
is here called Lucloque.
The experiments made on an extensive scale at the Royal
Institution of Grignon prove that potatoes of the crops which
have been affected by the disease have no bad effects on the
health. In fact, they have been used for food at Grignon for
this month past without any injury to those who have
taken them.
The winter appears likely to be rather early this year in

snow fell at Konigsburg ; on the following morning more
snow fell, and in the evening there was a sharp frost. •

and were broken off.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 9.—The Second Chamber, in its sittings
of Saturday, the Bth, discussed the project of law for pagyrienea
off of part of the public debt in 1846. The law was a
to by a majority of 38 to 1.
On Friday his Majesty, accompanied by his sons, was
pleased to inspect the great steani-eingine for draining the
Lake of Haarlem. The President, and two members of the
Commission for directing and superintending the epe_ration,

This steam-engine acts in a perfectly satisfactory. manner.
With its eleven pumps it brings up, with five or six strokes
of the piston, 360 cubic ells of water in a minute. While
the King was there the pumps gave seven strokes per rai,
mite. The engine perfectly answers the expectation , that
was formed of it. The King and the Princes expressed their
entire satisfaction ; and the numerous spectators attracted to the
spot by the signal-flags were much gratified by the scene.
The Council of Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg has prohibited the exportation of potatoes by the
western frontier of the Grand Duchy, from and including the
Custom-house at Saegemuhl, to the Prussian territory, The
Courier of Luxembourg observes on this decree, " Though
the situation of our country, with respect to subsistence, is not
such as to occasion any alarm for the future, it is neverthe-
less certain that the prohibition to export potatoes was on
the part of the frontier above. It will at least have the effect
of putting an end to the proceedings of speculators who, by
bringing up enormous quantities to send abroad, would have
occasioned a greater rise in the price, than even at a time
when the produce had been more abundant."
The Stuats Courant of the 10th announces the presentation
of a project of law to the second chamber, notifying the
9th chap. (A) of the budget of the expenditure for 1845.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the One Tun,
Great Saffron-hill, on the body of John Martin Dogherty.
aged 43, a licensed hawker. Elizabeth, the wife of deceased,
said that he died on Tuesday morning week, having been at-

with vomiting which continued till his death. Mr.
Gibson, surgeon, said that when he attended deceased,

told that he had beeen ill for a fortnight previously. De-

colchicum he had recently taken. Witness tried to allay
the irritation of the stomach, but could not do so, and was
of opinion that death was caused by exhaustion, produced
by colchicum acting on a debilitated constitution. phis
Bartlett, general practitioner, of Hatton-garden, and his
boy, who sold the medicine, were sent for. The latter,
aged about fourteen, was sworn, and said that his name was
George Elkington, and that he was Mr. Bartlett's errand-

(Laughter.) Mr. Bartlett said that the boy had orders to

The Coroner raid it was a very dangerous practice to allow
him to sell drugs at all, and considered that both Mr. Bartlett
and deceased were more to blame than the lad—the latter
for prescribing for himself, and the former for permitting an
ignorant boy to sell medicines at all. He hoped that the
present inquiry would act as a warning to chemists and We-
doctors. Verdict, "Death from exhaustion, produced by
colcluctun taken by deceased medicinally."
