BRUSSELS, JAN. 21.—The Chamber of Represen.
tatives discussed and adopted to-day the project of
law on the importation of cattle. It then proceeded
to the project of law relative to contagious diseases
among cattle. Articles 1,2, and 3 were agreed to.
The King of Bavaria has just adopted an important
measure respecting the navigation of the Rhine; he
has decided that goods embarked in one of the ports
of RheniSh Bavaria shall enjoy the restitution of all
tolls coming to Bavaria; in the whole portion of the
river through which they have passed.
This_measure, which has been long since adoted
by France and Holland, must necessarily be adopted
by the other States on the banks of that river, if they
will not see their ports deserted for those of Bavaria.
It will lead sooner or later to the complete abolition
of the Rhine toll, which is absolutely necessary, if
the navigation of the river is to support the competi-
tion with the railways.
The King will not set out for Ardenne until to-
morrow. His Majesty will he accompanied in this
excursion by Mr. Conway. His Majesty will pro-
bably go also to St. Hubert, and will return by the
end of the month.
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.—1 t is well known that
about four years ago the French Ambassador prott.ised
the protection of hi; Government to the charitable
society for the relief of poor Franks (Sccieta Com-
merciale Artigiana), which led to unpleasant discus-
sions with some representatives of Roman Catholic
Powers whose subjects would not have the protection
of a for, ign Power forced upon them. The
condUct of the French Legation was considered
to be wise, as a new attempt to appear as the first
protecting power of the Catholic interests in the East,
which must seem the more strange in the present case,
as the question related to a temporal, purely eharitalde
'nstitution, in which all nations took part. An
arrangement has been made by which the Societ
Artigiana is to be successively, for one year, under
the protection of the Catholic Powers which have
tepreszmtatives here, in alphabetical order. Austria
Hill be the first for 1845.

ROBBERY AT BRENTWOOD, AND CAPTURE OF THE
THIEVES.—About ten o'clock on Monday night, Mr.
John Ward, plumber and glazier, of Brentwood, gave
information to Superintendent Coulson, that a quan-
tity of new lead had been stolen from his shop,
and at the same time named parties whom he suspected
had committed the theft. The Superintendent dis-
patched Watson and Tomlinson, in plain clothes, who,
being on the 19ok-out, before twelve o'clock the same
night, saw George Nevitt, the suspected party, and
two women, loading a cart with rags and bones. Nevitt
drove the horse and cart out of Brentwood, towards
London, when the officers followed, and after they had
got a short distance stopped the horse, and examined the
contents of the cart, in which they found a quantity of
lead answering the description of that Mr. Yard had
lost. The men were taken to the station, where the lead
was identified by Mr. Ward. Search was next made for
a man named Fewell, who was likewise apprehended.
On comparing the shoes of the prisoners with marks in
sand upon the floor in Mr. Ward's shop, they wero
proved to correspond. They wera then taken before the
Rev, J. Pearson, by whom they were committed for trial
at the next sessions. The cart and horse being hired,
they were delivered to the owner.—ChelevArd Chronicle
