FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
Bayssus, Om 5.--A letter from Verviers, of the
20th of September,
Ga published in the Universal German
zette, has the following account of the attempted
suicide of the celebrated Polish General, Unainski by
the inhabitants of the town are afflicted by the
niisfortune which has befallen General Urninski, who is
an well known for the part which he acted in the Polish
revoluin. The General resided at Spa, at which place
the Commissary of Police caused him to be arrested, and
conducted on foot, and under escort, to the prison at
Verviers, for a triflin
General g debt contracted at Brussels.
Uminski, who is seventy years of age, could not
endure to live after this disgrace. He first attempted to
hang himself with his cravat, but was cut down by the
Ihceeper •; he then opened a vein in both arms, and though
e has received all possible assistance he is not yet out
of danger. While the old General is on the point of
expirin on a bed of straw, and in prison, his daughter
and rings n-in-law are living ia opulence, and all his
,nrtntr friends have abandoned him.
The xale of the British Queen has not been con-
be t
firmed by the Government, as we said would probably
ljashe case. The SUM of 170,000 francs, for which it
knocked down to M. Vande Leemput, was indeed
GGueinw the estimate which was made by order of the
cvsselt•rnment, to ascertain the intrinsic value of the

repudiation system of Pennsylvania, which will be
more highly relished by Sidney Smith, than those to

some remarks have bee ________n
made on the fact
that the
tank of England have chanc.ed their interest on loans
four times within a month, the rates being respectively,
li, 2, el, and 3 par cent. per annum during the period,
while they have been discounting bills at 21 per cent.
per annum. The present re on loans, which is, ac-
cording to the last notice, Sat
per cent, is attributed by
some to a desire to check the speculation in railway
shares. All these remarks seem to proceed from a mis-
understanding of the transactions to which the different
rates refer. Those lower than 3 per cent. have nothing
whatever to do with the loans under the quarterly notice,
but merely refer to advances made for a specific time,
generally a very short one, in anticipation of the divi-
teriodends, while the loans under the quarterly notice are fur
ds that must exceed 10 days. Inyfact, fact, these ad-
ances at low rates precisely answer to what in discount
houses would he termed lending fir the " call," except-
ing that hero a day for making the "call" is fixed. The
Lotion that the Bank are endeavouring to check specu-
lation in railways, or in any else, can scarcely he
correct now the present charter has entirely deprived
them of their character of managers of the currency, and
left them, as far as the employment of their means is
eitneerned, only in the condition of private bankers.
Their object is probably no other than to employ their
resources at the best profit, and it appears vain, under the
Present circumstances, to ascribe to them ulterior motives.

spc.ctable people from Penrith and the surrounding his
filets, who suenaeil anx:_ous to be spectators of the inte-
resting event. The massive stone having been lowered
to its destma'ion, and Mr. Larmer, the engineer of the

three hearty cheers, which aroused the echoes in Lowther
