FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 10.—The King presided to-day in a
Council of Ministers.
On Tuesday, the 18th of November, at one in the after-
noon, 40 bonds of the loan of 14 millions, to be repaid on the
Ist of January, 1846, will be drawn by lot at the Town hall.
Dumortier, Member of the Chamber of Deputies and
of the Academy of Science, has just presented to that learned
body a paper on the disease in potatoes. According to M. Du-
mortier the disease is not to be attributed either to microsco-
ptcal insects or to parasitical fungi, or to the degenerating of,
the plant. The origin of the disease, he says, is that which
commonly attacks fruit trees, especially peach trees, and it
is here called Lucloque.
The experiments made on an extensive scale at the Royal
Institution of Grignon prove that potatoes of the crops which
have been affected by the disease have no bad effects on the
health. In fact, they have been used for food at Grignon for
this month past without any injury to those who have
taken them.
The winter appears likely to be rather early this year in
the north. On the 2d of November, in the evening, the first
snow fell at Konigsburg ; on the following morning more
snow fell, and in the evening there was a sharp frost.
ANTWERP, Nov. 10.—The Observer and some other
journals have stated as certain that the negotiations which
have been carried on since the beginning of October between
the Governments of France and Belgium for the renewal of
the Convention of July 16, 1842, had not led to any result,
and were broken oft:

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Nothing is now talked
of in theatrical circles but Wallace's new opera, which will
be produced here to-morrow evening. The composition has
been found to be of so high a character, as to require a great
increase of numbers in the orchestra, which will. therefore,
present a most formidable appearance. The house will be a
complete bumper.
THE DIAMOND STEAM-PACKET COMPANT.—The
annual meeting of the Proprietors in this Company was held
on Monday, in the large room' of the New Inn, Gravesend;
Dr. Warren in the chair. It appeared that the receipts of
the year amounted in round numbers to 27,000 L, and the
expenditure to 23,0001., leaving a balance of 4,000/., from out
of which a dividend of 5 per cent. was declared. The Chair-
man stated that after a year of extraordinary competition
and low fares, the Company was in a position much more
favourable than it had, in the opening of the season, any
hope of attaining.
DISSOLUTION OF THE SONS OF THE THAMES STEAM-
BOAT COMPANY.—Wednesday the annual general meeting of
the shareholders of the Sons of the Thames Steam-boat Com-
pany took place at the Company's office, 12, Mark-lane. Mr.
Warren, having been called to the chair, read the report,
from which it appeared that • the Company's boats had con-
veyed 178,939 passengers, amounting to 6,401/., being a fall-
ing off of 968/. from the previous year. It then proceeded to
state that they had paid 2,000/. for a new boiler; that a re-
cent accident had cost them 400/. ; that there was a bill to
Messrs. Miller and Co. for 6221., which they could not meet;
their liabilities amounting in all to 6,0001. The report sug-
gested the selling of the boats, and winding up the affairs of
the Company. The report having been received, Messrs.
Angels and Wilson Were appointed directors• for the ensuing
year. After a desultory conversation, it was ultimately pro
posed by Mr. Hewer, and seconded by Mr. Manning, " The
it is the opinion of this meeting, that the best means of extri-
cating the Company from its present pecuniary embarrass-
ment would be to sell the boats and dissolve the Company;
and that, consistent with the provisions of the deed of settle-
ment, a meeting he forthwith called." The resolution was
carried unanimously.
DROUGHT IN INDIA.--We have seen a letter just
received by a party in this town, from a clergyman at Ban-
galore, in which the writer says, "I am sorry to say we have
had no rain yet. Everything is becoming dear. The wells
are drying; up, and no likelihood of any crops. It is said such
a season has not occurred the last sixty years. I fear there is
every prospect of great distress, especially amongst the poorer
clum."—Liverpool Courier.
