FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 3.—The Moniteur of this date pub-
lishes the ratification, by the King of the Belgians on
the one part, and of the King of Prussia and the other
Princes, members of the Zollverein, on the other, of the
commercial treaty concluded on the Ist of September,
1844, between Belgium and the Zollverein.
JAN. 2.—The public in this city, as well as in other parts
of the country, have felt a very natural anxiety about
the indisposition of the King. The information which we
have obtained enables us to say that almost during the
whole of his Majesty's stay at Paris he suffered from
the effects of a cold and catarrh. His Majesty, however,
presided this morning in a Council of Ministers.
His Majesty, immediately on his arrival at Lacken, on
Tuesday evening, had a conference with M. Goblet,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the royal sanction of
the treaty with the Zollverein.

Yesterday (New Year's-day) his Majesty received at
the Palace of Lacken, the persons belonging to the
royal household.
To-day, at noon, Count Woyna presented to his Ma-
jesty his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary, or Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor of Aus-
tria at this Court. His Majesty also gave audiences to
the Ministers of Great Britain and Hanover.
Baron Alexander Von Homboldt, who has been here
for two or three days, sets out to-day for Paris, where
he has been expected for some months, to be present at
scientific experiments of the highest importance, on a
new mode of locomotiion by means of compressed air.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEW S
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
The English Market went back a little this afternoon,
Consols being 10041. New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. were 104; and the Three per Cent., Reduced,
1008. India Stock, however, was rather better, being
288 to 289.
Spanish Bonds continued rather drooping, the Five

Mexican Bonds were flat at 34/1 as it appears that
Santa Anna seized at Vera Cruz 340,000 dollars of the
Customs' duties belonging to the bondholders, 100,000
of which at least would otherwise have come forward by
the Forth. Remonstrances, however, had been made
upon the subject, and it was promised the sum should
be restored in time for the April dividend. Colombian

file official statement of the produce of the revenue in
the quarter just concluded, as well as the comparison
with the year ending the sth inst., are held to be of a
most satisfactory character. The very large increase in
the receipts of the Customs fully bears out the oft-re-
peated remarks under this head as to the revival of trade.
At the commencement of the new year we are usu-
ally favoured with circulars of the trading brokers in all
the principal departments of trade, and the first that has
reached us is that of Messrs. Wright and Young, of the
port of Hull, the commercial prosperity of which, we
are glad to state, is rapidly on the increase.; We extract
two paragraphs from the document before us:—
" We commence the year before us under favourable
auspices, and in the confident anticipation that it will
prove a year of prosperity, equalling, if it does not sur-
pegs, that just terminated. Much will depend, however,
on the state of the money market, as affected by the host
of railway schemes at present before the public. If the
Government wisely recommend Parliament to sanction
so many of the best lines (and no more) as will be
sufficient to absorb the legitimate surplus in the
money market, the prosperity of the country for the en-
suing year would seem to be placed on a reasonably solid
and stable basis. The advantages already accruing from

" Vera Cruz, Nov. 21, 1844.
" Dear Sir,—Since mine of yesterday morning we have
received the most astounding intelligence. more than
confirming the reports from the interior then detailed.
Couriers were arriving here yesterday evening and last
night, announcing revolt after revolt. Seven depart-
ments or states have declared against Santa Anna, and
he is reported to have take❑ flight for this city, on his
way to the Island of Cuba, where he will probably seek
a temporary asylum. I am not without hope that we
may be able now to restore the constitution of 1824,
overthrowing the present union of Church and State
(which is sucking our life blood), and obtain a Govern-
ment more like that under which you of the north re-
pose in happiness and peace. God grant that we may be
successful. The States now against Santa Anna are—
Guanaxuata, Xaliseo (or Guadalaxara), San Louis
Potosi, Zacetecas, Durango, Queretaro, and Mechoacan,
being the seven principal states of Central Mexico.
" The states of Mexico an.l Vera Cruz, garrisoned as
they are by Santa Anna's favourite troops (whom he
has paid well and taken good care of, each soldier being
provided with a mistress), have declared against the re-
volution. We have yet to hear from the 'south, north,
and north-west. With valiant and patriotic Yucatan,
Tobasco, and Chiapas in the south ; Chihuahua, Sonora.,
and Siaaloa, New Mexico, Santa F 6, and California in
the north and north-west, the revolution will be com-
plete. Ido not think there is a doubtful state among
them.

While on his way to Jalisco, to put down Paredes,
intending to march through the city of Mexico, Santa
Anna received the accounts from the interior, and with
it the report that the army of the revolution numbered
thirty thousand men. This intelligence, with signs of
discontent greeting him in every direction, probably
caused his retreat.

" The Committee of Investigation ix Congress, to which
was referred the charge against him of embezzling five
millions of dollars from the public Treasury, have not
yet reported. In anticipation of that report, he had re-
solved upon testing the strength of his opponent, dis-
charging Gen.Arista from the command of the northern
division of the army, threatening Paredes with a court-
martial, and courting their opposition with the hope of
gaining new laurels in a war of extermination against
all who opposed him. Returning to Mexico as a con-
queror, he expected to be able to bring Congress into
his views. Should the fates be against him, he will re-
tire to Spain, or perhaps to England, where he has in-
vested five or six millions of dollars upon which he can
live comfortably for the rest of his days. 4,***,,

NEWS FROM CANADA.—We have Montreal papers of
the 10th of December. There is very little news of con-
sequence. After a long debate in the Provisional Par-
liament an address to the Governor-General was agreed
upon, by a vote of 42 to 36, showing a decided Govern-
ment majority. Mr. Farrier was elected Mayor of Mon-
treal, on the 9th of December, by a vote of 10 to 6.
TROUBLE IN ST. LUClA.—Advices to the 31st October
state that insubordination among the labourers continued.
One man was shot. This, it was thought, would have
the effect of making all submissive.

GAS MONOPOLY AT SHEPTOS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. for
SIR,-If you have space in your valuable journal 0.
exposing this monstrous monopoly, you will much oblig°
your readers here by inserting the following.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A DAILY READER.

Considerable dissatisfaction has prevailed in this tel
amongst the consumers of gas for the last two years, .`„"
consequence of the exorbitant charge that bas bee,"
made for gas, viz., 12s. 6d. per thousand feet, besides 10'
per annum for the use of meter.
Three memorials, respectably signed by the inhabi:,
tants; have been sent to the Directors, soliciting the' to
reduce the
,price to 10s. ; but all to no purpose. j
last of these was to the effect, that unless the price vitli
reduced to 10s. at the commencement of the prese°
year, they should discontinue burning it. This theDirec"
tors, who call themselves men of business, took no notice
c,
of, although it was signed by upwards of forty of P
most respectable tradesmen in the town ; they had o°,
even the courtesy to acknowledge it. The conseque°,,ce
was, that last Thursday a busy scene' took place in
town, through the removal of the Company s meters to
the station, where the greatest part were delivered safe
m
before the evening, much to the astonishment of
self-styled men of tbusiness, some of whom talked geli
things, and made many threats. The greater part d
the shops are now illuminated in the good old sytle 00
lamps, candies, &c., and will continue so, unless thesi
monopolist men of business choose to reduce the price
their gas. The price of coals here for making go, I

LONDON SESSIONS.—OD Saturday, at the Loo:Pi
General Sessions, Mr. E. Griffin, an undergraduate
Oxford University, was indicted for violently assaultill
William Wren, waiter at the King's Arms Hotel, e,
Snow-hill. It appeared that Mr. Griffin during the ill;
cation, usually put up at this inn, and gave very
dinners to his fellow collegians. On Saturday tb_ntee
weeks he gave one of these dinners, chan3lo64,
and bottled stout being the usual draught on tso,
Wren was waiter at table, and Mr. Griffin recillir`fe
excellene
some stout, asked, " Where's the porter ?" Wren
plied, " Oh, he's down stairs ;" on which Mr.
called him by one or two flash terms, and, tasi;tl
him by the collar, pushed him down stairs and kick
him. Mr. Griffin, who was dressed in the first fashiel;
admitted only the pushing him down stairs ; he
most impudent waiter. Mr. J. R. Brasse, of New '"0.-
Hall, Oxford, and Mr. J. Witcher, of Perry Hall, Ham
shire, corroborated this statement. The landlord of
e
inn, Mr. Holloway, gave Wren a very unfavourev'
character. Mr. Griffin had complained of his CO
on which he discharged him next day. The waiter c°7,11
plained that the kick had disabled him. The jury f°ll7,
the defendant guilty of the assault, accompanied by utia
necessary violence, and the Recorder sentenced hiaii.o4,
pay a fine of 101., and find sureties to keep the peace •
a twelvemonth. The fine was paid.
