FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL
BRUSSELS, Nov. 12.—The average price of wheat last week
was 23f. 87c., and that of rye 17f. 59e.
It results from the aliove aver. —e prices, and the laws of
the 31st of July, 1334, and the 31st of December, 1844, that
the exportation of rye flour is prohibited from the 18th of
this month.
The King's speech gives a complete view of the situation
of the country. All the questions connected with the internal
and external affairs of Belgium are introduced with frank-
ness. On the question of subsistence, the speech is very
important. On the whole, it is calculated completely to
satisfy Belgium with respect to its dearest interest. The
language is at once simple and elevated, becoming the head
of a free people addressing their representatives.
POSEN, Ocr. 29.—1 t is generally affirmed that the village
of Kerwin has been really purchased by an agent of the
Jesuits. It is likewise supposed that emissaries of the
Jesuits are going about to purchase for the order other
estates in our neighbourhood which are for sale. If they
once get a firm footing, it will be easy for them to enlarge
their possessions. Numerous estates belonging to Polish
nobles, whose unexampled mismanagement must lead to
their ruin, will voner or later be f sale. It is remarkable
that the Poles,who are disti n gu ished for their patriotism, should
secretly unite with men who are proved by history to be the
enemies of their country, and even assist them in settling
among them.
BERLIN, Nov. 7.—lt is certaialy presumptuous to speak of
a dissolution of the Zollverein, but it is certain that the Con-
gress at Carlsruhe broke up with a dangerous feeling of dis-
satisfaction. The manner in which the Universal Prussian
Gazelle introduces the publication of the Tariff clearly shows
that, at least on the part of the Foreign Department, to which
the communication is attributed, the necessity is felt of a re-
newal of the discussions, and of an agreement in respect to
the English note. Commissioners are to be summoned to
Berlin at the beginning of next }ear, but there will be
previously negotiations between the several Governments.
SToextiotar, Nov. 4.—The journal Illorgonen announces
that the English proposal to construct iron railroads in Swe;-
den has been accepted by the Government, and in consequence
6,000 workmen will be employed from the beginning of April
next. The first line, commencing at the capital, will be to
Gefle, Westeras, and Nykoping.
'We have severe frost every night, and snow falls almost
every day, but soon melts.

DIED.—On Saturday, the Bth instant, near Doug-
las, in her 25th year, after giving birth to her fourth child,
Anne, the beloved wife of T. Walsh, Esq., and daughter of
Alderman O'Connell, of Cork. By discharging the duties of
daughter, wife, and mother in the most edifying and exem-
plary manner, sbe leaves to her afflicted family and sorrowing
friends the firm and confident hope that in the merits and
mercies of her Redeemer, she has found the blessed rewards at
a short but well spent life.—Cork Examiner.

VARIOUS PRICES OF BREAD.—In the vicinity of
Drury-lane the price of the 41b. loaf is 9d., in the City Bd.,
on the Surrey side 71,0. to Bd., whilst in Sloreditclt and, the
neighbourhood it varies from 7d. to 7%d. In the country
the price ranges fiom 6d. to 7%d. It is not generally known
that besides potatoes a very large quantity of the meal of
Iceland moss is used in the composition of bretnic Some
time sip ce the authorities of Saxony published a report on
the subject, in which they stated that 71b. of the meal boiled
with fourteen times its quantity of water, and then mixed
with 59%1b. of wheaten flour, whon baked, produced 111 141 b.
of good household bread. Nearly all the Iceland moss col-
lected in Germany is sent here, and was, until late years, only
used in brewing and in the composition of ship biscuit, as it
is not attacked by worms, and suffers little by the action of
sea water.

IMPROVEMENT or TILE CONDITION OF THE INDUS..
TRIOUS Poon.—A prqject fur the improvement t-f the condi-
tion of the industrious poor who have been expelled, from
the crowded localities of St. Giles's, Lambeth, Westminster,
Wapping, Spitalfields, and in many other equally populous
districts of the metropolis, with respect to their habitations,
has been set on foot, and it seems to be one of fair pre-
tensions and promise. It is reasonably argued that private
charity, being too limited to accomplish all that is required
for the full attainment of an object of this description, the co-
operation of the wealthy and speculative classes is desirable,
and that, since the enterprise of the day is running in favour
of the establishment ofrailways, a railway should be made the
medium of the proposed benefit to the labouring multitudes
who have been disturbed by recent alterations. 'We extract a
passage from the" suggestions" caused to be printed by the pro-
motersof thescheme :—" The plan proposed is to build villages
in the surrounding neighbourhood of tke metropolis, sufficiently
distant to ensure a pure atmosphere and healthy soil, on
which dwellings may be erected at a moderate price, yet so
connected with the metropolis by distinct lines of railway,
and stations to each, as to leave no portion of London more
than one mile distant from some one station; thus bringing
the daily !place of occupation of the working classes within
ten minutes' . distance of their residence, and enabling them
to resort to the one and the other, with the same order and
facility as though still inhabiting the precincts of the great
city itself." It is added that each village should contain
about [5,000 cottage residences covering about 500 acres
of land, and that taking the probable average of the in-
habitants of each cottage at seven in number, it will
give to each village 35,000 inhabitants, making a total
population, supposing the ten villages to be in the
course of time erected, of 350,000 removed from the dens of
the metropolis. It is contemplated to erect only ten cottages
to an acre, which, built in pairs, will give to each residence
a good garden—will secure perfect ventilation, and incite the
occupant to industry, regularity, and neatness. It is in-
tended that churches, chapels, cemeteries, and other religious
and social conveniencies should be attached to each village,
as well as public baths and washing establishments for the
promotion of cleanliness and health. We need not go further
into details, but may mention that the parties to be princi-
pally benefited are to be, if disposed, allowed to participate
as shareholders in the undertaking contemplated. The more
minute calculations included in the synopsis laid before us
will, no doubt, be published in due time for consideration.

THE GAME Laws.—Yesterday, at the Uxbridge
Petty Sessions, Joseph Dean, a young agricultural labourer,
appeared before Messrs. R. H. Cox, C. Mills, and T. Dugnall,
the sitting magistrates, to answer a summons charging him
with unlawfully using a gun for the purpose of taking game.
The defendant pleaded not guilty. Robert Stint deposed that
he was a gamekeeper to I'. T. Clark, Esq., of Wakeleys, near
Uxbridge, who is one of the local magistrates. On Saturday.
the Ist instant, witness saw the defendant, who Wa
accompanied by three others, in a field in the parish
of Harefield, in the occupation of William Headley. The
defendant had a gun with him, and as they passed
across the field a covey of partridges rose, and the de-
fendant fired at them, and knocked two birds down, one of
which he picked up and put into his pocket, and an-
other of the party, named Irons, picked up the other and put
it into his breast. They then all ran away into a small wood,
where witness followed them. They secreted themselves for
some time in a coppice; but witness waited until they came
out, and then went up to them to get their names, but they
again ran away without his being
.able to get the names
of the others. The defendant denied the charge in foto,
and asked the keeper if he had not told James Greenwood
that he did not know who had tired the gun. The keeper,
however, persisted that it was the defendant who did so.
The Bench then asked if the defendant had ever been
brought before them before, and having been informed in
the negative, said, had the defendant been before charged
before them, they would have inflicted on him the full
penalty of 5/., or two months' imprisonment with hard la-
bour, but as he had not, they would mitigate the fine to one-
halt; 505., or one month. Thomas Irons, a lad, also an agri-
cultural labourer, then appeared to answer a summons for
having trespassed upon the lands of Mr. Headley in search
of game, for which he had incurred a penalty of forty shil-
lings. Robert Stint deposed that upon the day above stated
he saw the defendant trespassing in a field in the occupation
of William Headley, in the parish of Harefield. The defen-
dant was with Dean, when the latter shot at the partridge.
and he saw him pick one up and put it into his bosom alrid
run away. The defendant denied the charge, but the Bench
covicted him in the mitigated penalty of twenty shillings, or
twenty-one days' imprisonment. Both defendants went to
prison, having no money to pay the fines.
CRIME IN STAFFORDSIIIILE.—The number of pri-
soners in Stafford gaol is now less than three hundred ;
there have been upwards of eight hundred prisoners in it.
The whole of the additional buildings, erected during the
last two years, are unoccupied. In the mining district of the
county during the month of October last there occurred only
one case of robbery and eight cases of petty larceny ; and the
cases of drunkenness, compared with the preceding month,
have diminished.— Stafford paper.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 10.—The bark Rose, of Guern•
sey, Baylis master, bound to Antwerp, passed up Channel
this morning from Buenos Ayres, having first landed pea.
sengers—Mr. Brittain, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Le Mesurier, and
Mr. Westmoreland. The first gentleman possesses landed
property in the interior of South America, and went out its-
tending to form a mercantile establishment, with his
brother, at Monte Video. Mr. Dixon belongs to the firm
of Dixon and Co., London and Buenos Ayres. Air. Le
Mesurier is clerk in the house of Bertram, Le Breton and
De Lisle; Mr. Westmoreland is a builder, and a native of
Newcastle. They have all left in consequence of the unset-
tled state of affairs in the River Plate. The cargo of the
Rose consists of green and dry hides and horn. She left
on the 22d of August. On the 3d inst. she spoke the barque
Baltazara, bound to Valparaiso, four days from Liverpool.
When off the Lizard 100 sail of merchant vessels, pricipally
bound to the westward, were counted from the masthead of
the Rose.
