.(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS,,JAN. 12.—His Majesty presided in a Coun-
cil of Ministers, and attended Divine worship in the
chapel of the palace.
The Minister of the Interior has just appointed a com-
mission, of which M. Kindt is president, to inquire what
are the best means of preventing fires, or of checking
their progress.
The shares of the General Society have experienced,
in the last six weeks, a rise of nearly 150 f., which does
not seem likely to stop there, for every day there are
applications for shares, which cannot be purchased at the
quoted prices.
M. Dethuin, a notary, of Mons, has just acted with a
degree of disinterestedness which deserves to be made
known. Madame Herendal bequeathed to him her whole
fortune, amounting to 50,000 f., to the prejudice of her
brother. M. Dethuin has declined this legacy in favour
of the lady's brother.
TURKISH FRONTIER, DEC. 28.—We learn from Bu-

vernment party, have resolved, after several meetings,
to send a petition to the Porte against the intended sus-
pension of the General Assemblies..

to be certain.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
ST. PETERSBURGU, DEC. 31.—1 t is affirmed that
the chief direction of the war against the moun-
taineers will be confided to General Yermolaw, who
has not been employed since 1826, and who formerly
distinguished himself in that command by his energy
and success.
BERLIN, JAN. 6.—Accounts just received from St.
Petersburgh speak of a very serious indisposition of
the Emperor, and a very extraordinary movement in
the Russian Legation here seems to confirm this re-
port, which has also come from other respectable
quarters.
According to the accounts, the national Russian
party is gaining more and more influence in the
Government, and comprehensive plans are said to be
contemplated not only to exclude foreigners from all
important posts in the public service of the State,
but also to limit as much as possible the German
element hi the Baltic provinces. It is not to be
expected that this plan will soon succeed ; the most
powerful protection of the German interests is the
Imperial Family itself, in which a national inclination
to the country of their ancestors will never
be wholly extinguished, notwithstanding all patriotic
sentiment respecting Russia.
FROM THE DANUBE, JAN. 2.—We learn that the
Russian Government has at length given the assu-
rance that in' the course of next year the channel of
the mouth"of the Danube shall be deepened, that the
largest ships may pass without danger.
BERLIN, JAN. B.—The Duke of Leuchtenburg has
made but a short stay here, and is gone to St.
Petersburgh.
HAMBURGII, JAN. 9.—The ice In the Elbe has partly
broken up and begins to move, but is still standing
fast at Blankenese.—Hamburgh Papers, Jan. 10.

Two Mona FlRES.—Between one and two o'clock
this (Wednesday) morning a most destructive fire was
discovered in the lower part of the premises occupied by
Mr. W. Fryer, grocer and cheesemonger, I, High-
street, Camberwell. The progress of the flames was
extraordinarily rapid, and owing to the lapse of time
which occurred before water could be obtained, the fire
had caused great devastation before the firemen were in
possession of the means of checking it. The shop is
burned down, and the kitchen at the back of it most
seriously damaged. The next house, in the occupation 1
of Mr. James Howley, bootinaker, is materially injured,
and the stock and furniture considerably damaged. No.
3, occupied by Mr. Morgan, baker, is also slightly
burned : and the house No. 9, opposite, tenanted by
Messrs. Wade Brothers, linendrapers, is scorched by the
beat from the flames. Mr. W. Mould, oilman, Lf 1,
Wyndham-road, has suffered considerably ; his stook
and furniture, both by water and removal, :Are much in.
jured. Mr. Fryer is not insured for the contents ; the
building -is insured in the Dissenters' office. The other
property is partially insured. Cause unkeoffn.—At ten
minutes past five o'clock the
,police•constable upon the
beat discovered a fire in the extensive warehouses and
workships belOnging to Messrs. Perkins tnd Sharpus,
wholesale tin-plate workers, 6, Bell-court, Cannon-
street, City. Much damage is done throughout the
building, and, to_ the stock, the work-benches, fixtures,
flooring, joists, and root in the top floor (where the fire
originated) being burned, and the contents most seri-
ously damaged on the first and ground floors of the
warehouse. The firm are insured for the stock in the
Sun dice. It is not known how the fire originated.
