BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The average price of wheat in the
weekending on Saturday, the 20th of September, was 23f.
15c., and that of rye 15f. 78c.
The general discussion ofthe project of law relative to corn,
&c., was opened in the Senate to-day, and closed in the same
sitting. The Senate will proceed to -morrow with the dis-
cussion of the articles. The report presented by the Duke
d'Ursel, in the name of the Committee charged with the
.examination of the law, shows that the members of the Com-
mittee unanimously approve it. The discussion commenced
immediately after the reading of the report.
As in the Chamber of Representatives several members
dwelt on the necessity of executing the public works already
decreed, the discussion was well supported, but did not go
into any details which have not already been the subject of
observation in the other Chamber. The Senate will likewise
proceed to the project of law for a vote of credit to finish the
works of the Canal of Campine.

This morning, at eight o'clock, a salute of twenty-one guns,
fired by the artillery of the civic guard, and the ringing of
the bells of all the churches of the capital, announced the
solemnity of the first day of the anniversary of September.
The Grazetteof Aix-la Chapelle announces that the King of
Prussia has consented to the construction of the railway from
Aix-la-Chapelle to Dusseldorf by way of Herzogenrath and
Gludbach. The King has also consented to a line from Cre-
velt to Ruhrart, and to that from Maestricht to Aix-la-
Chapelle. Besides the importance of these new lines to the
manufactories and trade of • that part of the Rhenish pro-
vinces, the works will provide employment during the winter
to many families, who will thus be secured against want. For
these two reasons we owe much gratitude to the King for
having granted these measures at this moment.

COACH ACCIDENT.—NARROW ESCAPE.—A few
evenings ago an accident took place between the towns of
Watford and Harpenden, by the upsetting of a coach which
had nearly proved of serious consequences to a number of
passengers. It appears that about eight o'clock the Beehive
pair-horse coach, belonging to Messrs. Bryant and Seymour,
had taken up a number of passengers at the Watford sta-
tion of the London and Birmingham Railway, to proceed to
St. Alban's and Luton,• and had arrived between Harpen-
den and the latter, when the coachman, in carelessly and
negligently taking too wide a turn to pass a cart, ran the
coach upon a bank, which caused it instantly to upset, and
nine outside passengers were thrown on the road with great
violence. Fortunately there were no fractures or broken
limbs, but two of the passengers, a lady and a gentleman, Mr.
Baldwin (of the respectable firm of Baldwin and Aders, of
Bishopsgate-churchyard), were seriously bruised by the fall ;
however, not so much so as to prevent their proceeding o
their journey. Mr. Baldwin was, however, so much bruised
and shaken, that he was obliged to keep his bed for three
days, but is now nearly recovered. It is his impression, from
the night being moonlight- and fine, that much blame is
attributable to the coachman, whose name it appears is
Reeves.
PRODIGIOUS MUSHROOM.--A short time since a
mushroom was gathered in a pasture adjoining Brightwell-
park, Oxon, the seat of W. F. Lowndes Stone, Esq., which
measured 1 yard 4 inches in circumference, and weighed lilb.

POISONING BY COPPER.—At the present season, I
when preserving operations are usually in active practice,
it may not be amiss to notice a subject adverted to at
Guy's Hospital by Mr. Alfred Taylor. who in the course of
his discourse observed upon the reprehensible practice of
using poisonous substances in the manufacture of preserves.
The lecturer observed that "itis a common practice for
people to colour their preserved green fruits by adding to
them a quantity of the sulphate or the acetate of copper, and
the presence of either may easily be tested by introducing
into it a needle, which in a very short time will be coated
with metallic copper. Copper may also be detected in such
'substances by galvanism by aid of a platina capsule and a
piece of zinc:" In respect ofusing copper vessels for culinary
purposes, he observes that " these vessels are liable to become
impregnated with the poison, and if common salt be pre-
sent, the chloride of copper is readily formed. But there is
this important fact to be considered—any liquid boiled in
copper vessels is only liable to be poisoned if it is allowed to
cool in them, otherwise no injury is created. Copper utensils
are sometimes lined with tin, but it is far better to keep them
in:dinned for this season, unless they be well tinned and kept
'in a proper condition ; if a portion of the surface of the copper
becomes exposed, the tin and the copper together will excite
a galvanic action, and any acid liquid will displace the salts
vf the copper formed. .If soups be boiled in copper vessels,
.itisfiNessary, in order to prevent any accident,. to pour the
soup out while hot, and allow it to cool in another vessel."
THE GRAND LONDON AND DUBLIN APPROXIMA-
TION RAILWAY.—The project of forming a. direct railway
communication from London to Holyhead is not altogether
new, but it has.hitherto been considered to be so surrounded
by difficulties. that it has been deemed all but impracticable.
At no period, however,. were men's minds so determinately
set upon overcoming difficulties (physical as well as moral)
as the press-nt. The undertaking for uniting the two capitals,
which is now contemplated. could not have been submitted
to the public at - a mote "-favourable moment. - The
map that has been published to accompany the pros-
pectus, indicates very clearly the proposed line of
route, and shows the great saving that will be effected
in the distance from one metropolis to the other. It not
less evidently demonstrates the numerous other advantages
which will result from the.adoption of this grand and noble
scheme. From the intercourse which has already taken place
between the two countries in consequence of the great woiks
commenced in Ireland, and that which is certain to take place
from those in projection, we feel fully justified in the belief
that the shareholders in this railway will derive a far larger
profit from their investments than from any other line in the
kingdom. The Government alone will avail themselves of
this railway as a vehicle for the transmission to Ireland of
troops and- military stores.. Merchants and travellers of
every description will select it as a route by far the most con-
venient in every point of view, whether regarded as- to
cheapness, distance, or expedition, The rich and populous
counties through which it will pass will have a direct inte-
rest in promoting it to the utmost of their power, as they will
derive a corresponding advantage from its immediate con-
nexion with the metropolis. We cannot conclude these oh-
' servations without expressing a sincere hope that
the Directors will listen to BO remonstrance or
persnasien that would induce them to • abandon
that independency of character which they have
thotight it right to assume from any apprehension of the
;powerful opposition they may meet with from different com-
panies, and be thereby prevailed upon to unite themselves
with interests which would at once mar the integrity of tire
scheMe. They may be assured that so long as they bold ont
such certain prospects of advantage as this line offers to the
'public, they will receive, as they are well entitled to do,
public support and confidence, and we do not hesitate to say
that the sanction of the Legislature will be obtained, not-
withstanding the most factious opposition to a scheme
fraught with such manifest advantages to the nation at large.
The shareholders will then have no reason to repent their
having lent their aid in furtherance of a great.national un-
detaking, and we fearlessly anticipate the period, perhaps
not Car distant, when this •Company will become one of the
most powerful and lucrative associations in the kingd6m,
OLDHAM.—THE FACTORY HANDS AND THEIR Eiko
'rLoYEBS::—We are glad to hear that the factory hands of
this town-have invited their employers to a tea-party and
ball, the object of which they state in their addreAs to be,
"to return to them their most sincere and heartfelt thanks
for the liberal manner in which they have acceded to their re-
qitest for an advance of wages." The festival is fixed for
Monday next, and the operatives request the favour of a half-
holiday on that day. We trust that the effect of this meet-
ing may be to cement the gnod feeling which now exists be-

FIELD LABOURERS.
•
- TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
the conclusion of a most bountiful har-
vest, my attention has been called to • the state of the field
labotirers in harve-ting 'the allotments of their half acre,
quarter of an acre, and some few from one to three acres. Their
httle ricks of corn, safely gathered, the spade is immediately
at work, women and children busily engaged in getting
potatoes and beans.:.:

Hundreds of families here have allotments. All hands are
employed. Viewing the country frinn a fine eminence, it
looked like a terrestrial paradise, but seeing no labourers'
cottages, asked where are the poor wo-kmen ?roue said, driv 3n
into towns or large villages, sleepfng four or five in a bed.
The Duke, said the man, would build us cottages, but great
objections are made by the farmers, who are afraid of having
too many of us, and cannot allow us to get a little food and
comfort. Three hundred labourers left - here for Australia a
few years ago ;- they blessed the day that caused them to go,
where land could be had. Meeting the Rev. Mr. Hawkesley,
(if Souldrop, he told me- he had fifty tenants; the Rev. Mr.
Thornton, of this parish, the same ;• John Gibbard, Esq., the
same, and many others.--Yours, &c.,

NA JAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE EXPEUISIENTAL. FLEET AT. DEVOSPORT.—The expe-
rhnental'fleet is fast prcgressink in its refit in Plymouth
South." Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., the•newly-
appointed Commander-in7Chief, has taken up his quarters
on board his flag-ship, the St.:Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley,
bur. still continues his superintendent-hip of the dockyard,
which duties he will not relinquish until the fleet sails. The
Port .Admiral, Sir John West,- K.C.8., went off in his barge
to pay a visit to Sir Samuel pyin, on Wednesday.
The court-martial on Lieutenant Frederick Leigh, of the
Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Fisher, was commenced
yesterday.. Mr. Thorn, the -experienced Paymaster and.
Purser of the Superb, SO, Captain Corry, will assist the pri-
soner in his defence. •

THE CO3I3IAND IN CHIEF AT PORTSMOUTIT.--AdMiTal S:f
Charles Ogle, Bart., will hoist his flag as Commander-in-
Chief at Portsmouth on the Ist of October.

The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly, arrived at the Mauritius,
July 17, from Bourbon.
The. Vulture, steam frigate, Captain Macdougal, arrived at
Rio Janeiro, on the 23d of July, from Devonport.
The Porcupine, steam surveying vessel Captain Bullock,
left Boulogne on the 23d inst., to commence a survey of the
French coast. _ _ _

The Comet steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Prettyman,
left Devonport, on Wednesday, for Portsmouth.
The Bloodhound steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Phillips,
drew charts for the Mediterranean, at Devonport, on Wed-
nesday, was paid advance yesterday, and was then to have
sailed.

The Dee troop transport, Master Commander Driver with
a portion of the 49th Regiment on board, started again from
Devortport for Kingstown on Wednesday morning.
The Daring, 12, Commander Matson, arrived at Port;--
mouth, from Plymouth, on Wednesday. When in the offing
she saluted the flag of Hear-Admiral Hyde Parker. The
Victory returned the salute, and telegraphed the Daring to
keep under weigh (the order for her being docked at this
port having been cancelled). After lying to at Spithead for
a short time, she received orders to proceed back again to
Plymouth, and made sail through the Needles for that place.
Two French steamers, the Caiman, Captain Du Tor-
and the Pluton, Captain -La Marche, arrived at Sheerness
on Tuesday, from Treport. Having taken on board a sup-
ply of coals and water, the Caiman left on Wednesday to
return to Treport. The Pluton was to have left yesterday.
A sapient "Observer," of Sheerness, asks the editor of a
morning contemporary the reason •why no salute was re-
turned by the Britisn Admiral to that fired by the French
steamers? One would suppose that, being on the spot,
this close " observer" would have known that the flag-ship,
the Trafalgar, 120, is with the experimental squadron; that the,
ordinary guard-ship, the Ocean, 80, Captain Arthur, C. 8., is
in dock, with her guns out ; the June, 26, in commission
by Captain Blake, but fitting out, with no powder. on board ;
and the Snake, 16, Commander Devereux, with her powder
and stores, returned to the dock yard.

A TABLE • SPOON FOUND IN THE BODY OF A
LIVING Cow.—A cow, the property of R. H. Blundell, Esq.,
of Deysbrook, has for some past been in a sickly condition.
Mr. George Kirkham, veterinary surgeon, West Derby,
having been called in to give his advice, found that an
abscess was forming on the left side, between the sixth and
seventh ribs. Having lanced the part, he discovered the
handle of a spoon protruding, and, with the aid of forceps,
succeeded in extricating the instrument. which is nine
inches long. 'The cow was first observed to be unwell about
twelve months ago, and there is no doubt she swallowed the
spoon about that time. It must since then have been
making its way from the stomach to the position in which
it was found, near to the surface of the skin. It was origi-
nally an iron-plated spoon, but the gastric juice has corn.
pletely dislodged the plating, and a portion of the iron
mouth of the spoon has also been dissolved by the same
powerful agent. What remains is almost as thin as a
wafer. The cow is now in ,a fair way of recovery. The
operation was skilfully performed in about ten minutes.—r
Glasgow Courier.
PROGRESS OF RAILWAY SPECULATION IN BIR"
MINGHAI4L—Since our last' number several new railway pro
jects, many of them directly, and others not very remotely
connected with Birmingham, have made their appearance,
under the auspices of .names of well known wealth a- d-
influence, affording a fair guarantee for the bond
fide character of the• undertakings with which the gen-
tlemen referred to are associated. The prospectuses
of most of these new companies, and others of national
and local importance, appear in our columns to-day, and in
the present state of public feeling, and the general disposition
to make investments in railways, we know of no matter which
will .engross a larger share of attention, or be perused with
deeper interest by the commercial and monied classes in our
town and district. The," Railway Fever," as it may be
termed, has fairly laid hold. of Birmingham. All classes of
tradesmen, and all grades and professiors, are embarking their
disposable capital in these adventure- ; mray with a view to
permanent investment in local lines, t the greater number, we
need scarcely say, with the object of reaping immediate
benefit by successful .speculation. To a'l we would repeat the
caution which we offered last week, look well to the character,
'station, and respectability of the parties whose names appear
in the undertakings in 'which you propose to embark your
money. We give in another column a short notice of the
new lines which have made their appearance since our last,
and we shall continue our notices next week.—Birmingham
Journal.
THE ATMOSPHERIC SYSTEM AND THE SOUTH
DEVON RAILWAY.—The atmospheric system still continues
to increase in public favour, and many advantages are likely
to be obtained on the South Devon line by this delay. Mr.
Samuda; the talented engineer, who has the contract for the
South Devon line, will still further test its efficiency on the
Croydon line before the South Devon Directors during the•
ensuing week. We hope to be able to give some account of
the experiments in our next.—Plymauei Journal.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANeEi—Last week, when her.
Majesty's steamer Jackall was lying at Barnpool, a very
large snake, measuring about two feet and a half in length,
was discovered in the commander's cabin. It was killed by
the master, by thrusting a fork through its head, and has
since been placed in a bottle of spirits for preservation. The
Jackall is one -of the new iron steamers, and the snake is
supposed to have swam over from Mount Edgcumbe, and
obtained entrance into the vessel through the cable window.

FOREIGN CATTLE AND FRUIT.—The steam-ship
Atwood, from Rotterdam, which had been specially char-
tered by the importer& of Dutch cattle for the express pur-.
pose, has brought 92 head of horned cattle and 160 sheep ;
the whole of which, notwithstanding the roughness of the
weather at the time, arrived at the Brunswick Wharf, Black-
well, in perfect safety and excellent condition, and were
landed and delivered immediately to their destination. The
Caledonian, from Hainburgh, brought 31 oxen and 999 bas-
kers of diffe--ent descriptions of fruit. The James Watt, from
Havre, 113 baske,s of pe,.rs, plums, and other descriptions
of ripe fruit, besides a variety of other French produce. The
William Jolliffe, froM Rotterdam, also brought 154 sheep, 24
calves, several cows, 106 baskets of different descriptions of
fruit, a quantity of fitdi, yeast, pickles, and other articles, the
produce of Holland. The John Mull, from Hainburgh, brought,
in aCclition to 28 oxen, 396 sieves of plums, and 30 baskets
of other kinds of ripe fruit ;, and the Soho, from Antweip,
brought no less than upwards of 1,830 packages of ripe wal-
nuts of first-rate quality and quite fit for use, besides 141
package's of ripe pears and other articles. ,„
FIRE AT LEWES.:-.--Intelligence reached us late last
night from Lewes, of a destructive fire on the farm premiSsa
Of John Ellman, Esq, the eminent breeder of Southdown
sheep, at Glynde. The flames were visible at Falmer, a dis-
tance of eight miles. We regret to say that a large barn
was entirely consumed.; but none of the inhabitants of Lewes,
who flocked to the spot to render assistance as soon as the
alarm was given,' had returned when our informant left
Lewes (at half-past nine o'clock)—Brighton Gazette. •
