BRUSSELS .lAN. 27.—The King will return from
Ardenne on Saturday morning.
The Commercial Council of Antwerp, in its sitting
of the 21e, considered an application for a sum of
money to repair the cathedral. According to the
estimates made by Mr. Dui-I.ot, the architect, the total
sum necessary for the very great repairs which one of
the finest monuments in the country requires would
be less than one million and ninety thousand francs.
For the present, only a partial vote of credit is wanted.
This application was referred to a Committee, with
the special request that this reference shall not pre-
judge the question whether the city or the Govern-
ment is bound to make these repairs. The Council
then resolved that a petition should be drawn up and
presented to the Chamber, praying that the present
laws respecting sugar should be revised.
The debate in the Chamber of Representatives, on
the budget of the Minister of the Interior, has been
continued to-day, but not concluded, and it seems
doubtful whether it will he concluded to-morrow.
The curiosity excited by this important debate, and
the eagerness to he present at it, have not decreased.
Among the Members who are to speak against the
Ministry, Mr. Castian is said to be one; Messrs. De
Merode, Cogels, and De Decker intend, as we hear,
to speak in favour of the Ministry. We are assured
that some Members, who wavered before the discus-
sion, have declared that they join the majority in
consequence of the debate that has taken place.

HAMBURG H MAIL.

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 14.—We learn that the Crown
Prince and Princess Gustavus will accompany the
King to Christiana, where, for want of a suitable
residence, accommodation will be provided in the
Cathedral.

CHRISTIANA, JAN. 14.—We hear that the King's
arrival here is fixed for the 6th of February.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 14.—The festival of the
new year was kept yesterday at Court in the must
quiet manner. There was only mass and the usual
congratulations.

Hie Royal Highness the Duke of Leuchtenhurg
arrived here yesterday from Munich. The new
ducal palace, which is now complete, has been open
for a few days to the public, and was an object of
general attention.
The weather is still uncommonly mild. We have
seldom more than four or five degrees of cold.
DANTZTC.—The measures to prevent foreign books
from being smuggled into Russia are rendered more
easy (that is to say) to the officers on the frontiers,
they being authorised to refuse and eventually to
destroy all foreign books in languages which they
do not understand.

BRESLAU, JAN. 19.—The Roman Catholics of this
city, who have resolved to withdraw from the Supre-
macy of Rome, will take the first decisive step. NVe
hear in a few days there is to be a general meeting,
as Mr. Ronge will state his views respecting the mea-
sures which are now necessary. It is, indeed, high
time that this indecision and inactivity should have
an end.

GLUCKSTADT, JAN. 23.—A Blankinese boat ar-
rived here to-day at noon, with passengers from Cux-
haven. The Channel is free from ice, and the har-
bour also.

FROM THE MAINE, JAN. 18.—The question ii
said to have lately been brought forward in the Diet,
whether it might not be proper to put some restric-
tion in the discussing of the press on the affairs of the
Church. One of the great Powers is said to be in
favour of some such measure; but the other would
maintain the principle of free discussion. The mat-
ter is still pending.
