BRUSSELS, Mac. 6.—ln the night of the sth inst.
the mercury in the centigrade thermometer at the
Observatory, suspended three yards above the ground
in a north aspect, fell to 4 deg. Reaumur (23
Fahrenheit) below zero. In December, 1843, the
greatest degree of cold was only 2 deg. 2 min.
(1 deg. 8 min. Reaumur) below zero. The greatest
degree of cold since 1833 was in the night of the
16th December, 1840—viz., 12 deg. 9 min. (10 deg.
3 min. of Reaumur.)
BRUSSELS, DEC. 7.—Last night the mercury in
the centigrade thermometer fell to 8i deg. Resumer
(16k deg. Fahrenheit) below zero. Since sunrise a
strong north-east wind has increased the intensity of
the cold.

The navigation in the canals from Brussels to Wile-
brook and Charleroy is completely stopped, and also
the canal of Louvain. The ice is already several
inches thick. The rivers Dyle and Scone are begin-
ing to freeze.
The arrival at Brussels, of Mr. Deffandis, is not
without importance. It has been long known that
Mr. Deffandis would be commissioned to stipulate
for the interest of France, in the commercial negotia-
tions that might be opened between the two coun-
tries. This step, therefore, whether it has been taken
at the leave of our Cabinet, or spontaneously by the
Cabinet of the Tuileries, shows that notwithstanding
all that has been said, the treaty of the Ist of Sep-
tember has not caused any serious difference between
France and Belgium : M. Deffandis may easily con-
vince himself during his stay at Brussels that, on
concluding the treaty of Sept. 1, Belgium by no
means renounced its desire to form a close commercial
connexion with France as far as the interests even
of Franco itself permitted. __ .

HANOVER, Di 3c. 2.—His Majesty the King, ac-
companied by Prince William of Solms-Braunfels,
set out at eleven o'clock this morniag by a special
train, to join a hunting party of the King of Pr ssia
at Quedlinburg.
The Earl of Westmoreland, who, with his family,
has been here some days on a visit to the King, and
lodged in the royal palace, has now left us.
ST. PETERSBCROII, Nov. 26.—8 y an Imperial
ukase directed to the Minister of Finance, the Em-
peror, considering the expenses necessary in 1845
for the construction of the railroad between Peters-
burgh and Moscow, orders that a loan of twelve
millions of silver roubles shall be opened abroad,
on the same basis as that of the third Four per
Cent. Loan. The inscription of 500 silver
roubles each are to he divided in 184 equal sections
and to bear interest from the Ist of August this year.
The repayment commences in August, 1846. The
capital destined for this purpose is, in the year 1846,
125,000 roubles, and in the following year, 300,000
silver roubles, in 2i per cent. of the nominal capital
of the loan. The realisation of the loan is entrusted
to Baron Stieglitz, in Petersburgh.
HAMBURGU, DEC. 6.—The mercury in the ther-
mometer is now constantly below zero. The greatest
degree of cold we have yet had is 7 deg. below freez-
ing point (probably Fahrenheit).
