BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—The average price of wheat
last week was 22f. 50c., and that of Rye, 13f. ,;7c.
per hectolitre, wheat is therefore still exempt from
import-duty, while Rye is liable to import dutv of
21f. 50c. for 1,000 kilogrammes. The export duty
on both is only 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes,
(2,0001b5.)
The Senate, which' was to meet yesterday for the
dispatch of business, was not able to do anything,
only twenty Members being present.
It appears to be finally settled that the inauguration
of the bridge of Val Benoit, and of the iron railway
to the Prussian frontiers, will take place during the
September fetes, and that to give more eclat to the
ceremony, the contractors of the railway from Liege
to Perpignan, will exert themselves to complete the
portions of the works from the bridge of Val Benoit
to that of Chenee. This portion will have to be
opened at the same time. It is a pity that the inau-
guration cannot take place as far as to Chardfontaine ;
but it seems that some new works have been ordered
which will delay the completion of this part.

ERIOUS ACCIDENT AND TRUE KINDNESS.—An
aocident of a most painful kind, accompanied with Ei fine
trait in the character of an officer, took place on Friday
last, near this town. The troops of the Queen's Bays,
now stationed at our barracks, were drilling on the
exercise-ground, on the Forest, and just before they
left it a soldier was thrown from his horse, and had
his leg broken from a kick as he was falling. He was
picked. up in a state of extreme anguish, covered with
sand and dirt, and placed on his hack upon a board,
which was procured from the stand. A number of
his comrades, who had dismounted, then raised the
board on to their shoulders, and carried him on it. His
head
not being high enough, the officer in command,
Captain Custans, instantly pulled off his own military
jacket, and rolling it up, placed it under his head. Be
•
then rode off in his shirt, trousers, and cap, to fetch a
fly, and owing to his gallopping at full speed, one wag
directly on the spot. This act of kindness on the part of
o
people w'
the officer drew f

Review.
We have received the ntur Algerien of the
sth inst. The followingth Is an extract:—" On the
30th ult. the whole of
sulnnission. All thechieefstraib°re oef(>meiWtro InAadlgeiers,its with the Nurses of Dada,,
is a desirable receive investiture. This
event, for us, and for the tribes of Beni
M eussa alnlrac ma„. to the East the Metidja,
who had previously
come in. These three tribes
united will
be able to defeat any attempts that
may be made by the Ben Salmis and will be
further strengthened by the submissions that
will be obtained by the column about to be
marched to the East. Our markets already begin
to feel the beneficial effects of the Issersjoining our
hammer, from the quantities of oil and other; produce
which thiS rich and industrious tribe is bringing into
them. The column that moved from Medeah upon
the Government of Ben Salem has induced the sub-
mission ofthe whole of the powerful tribe ofßeni SU-
man, of which we had already gained several frac-
tion:;. Its Aga, Maid Eldine, who was appointed
by Abd el-Fader, came in person with 600 horse or
the Beni Slimans, and swore obedience to the King
of the French. He has sent his children as hostages
to Medeah, whither he has engaged to send all
the grain in forty-two silos belonging to Abd-el-
Kader, and will, without delay, come to Algiers with
his Kalds to receive investiture. Thus we arc al-
most every day gaining a firmer footing upon Ben
Salem, whose chief, with 150 horse and a few foot,
fled to the desert on the approach of our troops. The
Beni Slimans declare that, united as they now are,
they have nothing to fear from the vengeance of the
Kalifa."

A letter from Santander states that the English
steamer, the Meteor, had arrived there, towing in a small
vessel, fitted up for carrying over to England the four
lories presented by Queen Isabella to Qntep Victodt
