BRUSSELS, MARCH 6.—The Senate in its sitting to-day
was engaged on some projects of law relative to the votes of
credit.
The Chamber of Representatives continued the debate on
the budget of the Minister of Public Works.
The Industrial, of Verviers, says—" We are informed that
the Directors of the Civil Hospitals have just passed a resolu-
tion by which admission to the hospital is forbidden to the
Jesuits who have settled at Verviers, and to those who may
be settled there in future. This resolution was adopted una-
nimously."
This morning (the sth), about nine o'clock, just as the,
Princess Victoria was going to leave the basin the depar-
ture was delayed by a melancholy accident. The second
mate was at the wheel, when a mass of ice struck the helm
and caused the wheel to revolve with extraordinary rapidity,
so that it struck the mate in the stomach and wounded him
in a most dreadful manner. All possible assistance was im-
mediately given him.
Our readers will recollect that in the month of May last
there was an explosion of fire damp in the coal-mine of
Horlevy, in which twenty-eight workmen lost their lives.
After a long investigation the proprietor, the director, and
head workmen, have been sent before the correctional tri-
bunal, as having by imprudence and want of attention to the
regulations been the involuntary cause of the deaths of these
twenty-eight workmen.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 7.—ln the Chamber of Representatives
M. Mast de Vries read the report on the project of law for
proroguing the law relative to the tolls on the railway. The
Chamberi znmediately discussed theproject, which was agreed
to unanimously by the fifty -four Members present. The debate
on the Budget of Public Works was then continued.
Lord Wellesley, who has so long resided at Brussels, which
he left only on Saturday last, has already taken the oaths to
her Britannic Majesty, as Earl of Mornington, having suc-
ceeded to that title, on the death of his father, with a fortune
of 60,000 francs sterling per annum.
Captain de Bonings, commanding the Comet, schooner,
belonging to Ostend, who has just arrived from Messina,
states that, on the 9th of February, about one in the morning,
being off Cape St. Mary, and fifteen miles from the Spanish
coast, he fell in with three light vessels, with lateen sails,
which opened a brisk fire of musketry on his vessel, which
was struck by several balls. Having a good wind, he lost
sight of them about four o'clock. They were, doubtless,
pirates.

FROM TIIE Russfax FRONTIERS, FEB 24.—Recent accounts
from St. Petersburgh, which may be depended on, say that
neither the Emperor nor the Empress will visit Germany this
year, as was at one time supposed; nor is there, at present,
anything said of the intention of the Empress to visit
Southern Russia. The health of the Emperor is good, but
the Empress is still suffering.
BRUSSELS, MARCH B.—The average price of wheat in the
week ending on the Bth of March, wsa 16f. 36c. ; and that
of rye 10f. 63c. for 1,000 kilogrammes. The duties on im-
portation and exportation remain the same as before.
The Senate has discussed and adopted to-day the articles of
the first chapter of the budget of the Minister of the Interior;
and the Chamber of Representatives continued the debate on
the budget of the public works of which it adopted several
articles.
Several journals announce that their Royal Highnesses the
Duke of Nemours, Aumale, and Montpensier, will arrive at
Brussels on the 15th, but we believe there is no foundation
for this statement.

The Moniteur publishes a law, dated the 7th instant, by
which the Government ie authorised to grant to Richards
and Co., the iron-railway D' Entre, Sandre, and Meuse, and
its branches as the basis laid down in the convention of 21st
of January, 1845, between the Minister of Public Works and
that Company.
ALEXANDRIA, FEU. 6.—Mr. John Galloway, who arrived
here yesterday on board the Hibernia steamer, has been com-
missioned by Mehemet Ali to survey the desert between
Cairo and Suez, and to make an estimate of the expense of
an iron-railroad on that line, and if it should not prove too
great, the work is to be commenced as soon as possible.
Mehemet Ali, who has quite recovered from his late indis-
position is gone with Linant Bey, from Cairo to Fayound, to
be present at the opening of a a canal ; he intends afterwards
to go in a steamer to Upper Egypt.—Allgemetne Zeitung,
