FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2.—The treaty with the German
Customs Union, which has just been concluded by Bel-
gium, cannot fail to be considered as an important fact.
It gives to Germany two ports, of which it was abso-
lutely in want, for its transatlantic communication—the
ports of Ostend and Antwerp ; it seems to us the means
of disposing of the surplus of metallic produce. By the
treaty of the Ist of September we are placed, with re-
spect to our iron, in the same position with regard to
Germany, as we are placed by the convention of July
18, 1842, in respect to our thread and linens with regard
to France. This twofold position is favourable to the
Walloon provinces for their iron, and to the Flemish
provinces for their linen.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 2.—We hear that his Majesty the
King is expected from Weimar to-morrow, or the next
day.
The Moniteur Beige of the 2d, announces the conclu-
sion of a commercial treaty between Belgium and Prus-
sia and the other States of the Customs Union. The
Commerce Beige says—The measure by which a high
duty was imposed exclusively on our cast iron and iron
articles is withdrawn.
The Customs Union concede to Belgium a reduction of
50 per cent. on the duties on foreign cast-iron. This
duly is fixed from this day at 2f. 20c. per 100 kilo-
grammes. Thus Belgian cast-iron will pay only lf. 25e.;
besides this, a reduction of duty on iron articles is
grafted. The export duty on woollens at the frontiers
of the Zollverein is reduced from 2 dolls. to 1 doll.
The concessions made by Belgium are t 1 re-pay.

divisions and under arms to witness the ceremony. The
colours, six in number, were then carried by non-com-
missioned Invalide officers, members of the Legion of
Honour, in front of the ranks of the Invalides, who re-
ceived them with:great enthusiasm, the drums beating at
the same time.
The Bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne has issued a circu-

A letter from Bayonne, of the 30th ult., states that in-
telligence had been received there from Madrid of the

pig-dealer. After hearing evidence at

The stolen notes were traced to his possession. The pri-
soner was committed for trial.
Mr. Stephen Murphy, of. Spence- street, Clerkenwell,
who is connected with a mercantile establishment in the
City, was charged at the Clerkenwell Police-court with

Highgate-hill, and also injuring several other persons, as

that a Coroner's inquest had been held upon the body of
Rogers, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was re-
corded by the jury, and that there was no evidence pro-
duced before the Coroner. The foreman of the jury
questioned some of the injured persons, who agreed in
opinion that the affair was quite accidental. The pri-
soner was then ordered to put in his own recognisances
to appear to answer any charge that might be brought
against him, which he did, and left the court with his
friends.
