BRWSSELS, APRIL 13.—Several of our journals have the follow-
ing intelligence:—
Our merchants have received information from London, Am-
sterdam, and Hamburgh, that Russia has just made a change in
the law relative to the duty on refined sugar. This cbange
is of the highest importance from the effect it will have on the ma-
nufacture of refined sugars in Europe.
Four projects of law for new railways will be presented to the
Chamber to-morrow by the Minister of Public Works, via. Liege to
Namur, from Mons to Munage, from Jernippe to Louvain,and from
Ypru to Ccnstrai.
It is hoped that a fifth project will be brought forward, which
would Le equal or superior in importance to any of the preceding,

the person of Miss Davenport, given us an successful season in a pecuniary point of view we know not, but in
the most versatile talent, and one who even now is unrivalled
as the representati 'e of the juvenile heroines of tragedy
and comedy—who has made such characters as Juliet,
and Horatia, and Juliana, her own; and it has also
restored to the legitimate drama a theatre which had previously
been appropriated to the representation of melodramas of the New-
gate Calendar school. The gratitude of every true lover of the
drama is due to Miss Davenport for her exertions, and we heartily
wish that success may attend her. Her powers ought to com-
mand it—her exertions always deserve it.
HER 111AJES TY'S VISIT TO THE GREAT BRITAIN.—
In cerisequence of the unfavouaable weather on Tuesday her Ma-
jesty has postponed her visit to this stupendous iron steam-ship
until next Tuesday. Her Majesty was to have embarked on board
the Dwarf, iron-screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Beau-
cham Proctor, at Greenwich Hospital. Every preparation had
been made at that place and on board the Great Britain, to receive
the Sovereign in a suitable manner.
SEVERE GALE.—Tuesday it blew a severe gale
from nearly N.N.E , accompanied with violent
squalls and heavy
showers. The numerous tiers of shipping on the river rode heavily,
but none of them parted from their moorings. The tempestous
state of the weather since Sunday, and particularly yesterday, has
prevented the departure ef a great number of vessels from the docks
and wharfs, laden and ready for sea, and which were cleared out-
wards at the Custom-house on Saturday and Monday. The wind
on Sunday and Monday being from about W. N. W., and therefore
favourable for the departure of vessels, several sailed from
the wharfs, but soon afterwards anchored in the Pool and
lower parts of
,the Thames, where they remained yesterday
afternoon. Owing to the violence of the gale yesterday,
g
several ships, laden with rich and valuable cargoes, from
India and China and other distant parts, although in tow of two
steam-packets, were compelled to anchor in various parts of the
river, above and below Gravesend. When this gale moderates,
they will be towed to their respective docks. Several continental
steamers are overdue. Considerable apprehensions are entertained
for the safety of vessels on the east
and south coasts. About four
o'clock yesterday afternoon the
gale moderated a little, but soon
afterwards resumed its former violence. Last night it continued
to blow very hard, and the atmosphere had a threatening and
gloomy appearance. Most of the shipping on the river and to the
various docks had their topmasts struck. Nothwithstanding the
boisterous state of the weather yesterday,
the temperature was less
cold. At noon the thermometer at the Dockmaster's Office, St.
Katherine's (a very exposed situation), which on Sunday and Mon-
day averaged 43 degrees, indicated 48%.
By the ship St. George,

January. Sir George Gipps had brought the first long protracted
session of the Legislative Assembly to a close, in a speech not of a
very complimentary character to their wisdom and prudence. The
Assembly passed, in all, twenty-one substantive measures, eighteen
Yaney, we have
of which were assented to by the Executive, two referred to the
Home Government, and one voted without reserve. The address
of the Governor bears testimony to the progressive recovery of the
colony from the monetcry depression. A large number of shim
were on the berths loading at Sydney, and wool was fast coming in
from the farms in the interior. The St. George has on board a
small quantity of lead and coppw orett, which may be taken as a
proof of some program In laiaiag ormls,
