Bnussms, Nov. 18.—The average price of wheat in the
week ending on Saturday, the 15th of November, was 24f.
73e., and that of rye 18f. 76c. The exportation of both wheat
and rye and of rye flour is prohibited.
The Chamber continues the debate on the address.
We are assured that the King has just invited the Com-
mercial Council of Brussels to make an arrangement with
the Government for the purpose of suspending the city toll
on butchers' meat, from the Ist of January to the 30th of
June, 1846.
The Rhenish Observer adds the following details relative
to the marriage of Mademoiselle de Rosny to those pre-
viously published :—" The Duke of Bordeaux, as the head of
the family of the Bourbons, presided at the ceremony, ac-
companied by the Duke de Blocas. The moment when the
Duchess of Angouleme gave her benediction to the bride, was
very affecting. The members of the Imperial family of
Austria were not present at the wedding dinner; they retired
immediately after the religious ceremony. The Empress is
aunt to the Prince of Lucca, and it is affirmed that she will
leave her fortune to him. The Correspondent of the Cologne
Gazette says that Prince Metternich was likewise present at
the marriage.
The Moniteur publishes an analysis of the various opinions
on the probable causes of the disease in potatoes, presented to
the Commission in the department of the interior by M.
Bourson, Minister and Secretary of the Commission.
MemEL, Nov. s.—The latefatorms have caused considerable
damage on our coasts. Three ships have run aground, the
crews of which were happily saved. Two steamers, which,
oulthe 30th of last month, fired some guns as signals of dis-
tress, were happily towed into our road by the Hecla. One
of these steamers was the Victoria, bound from London to
St. Petersburgh, with between thirty and forty passengers ;
it has suffered much damage, and had exhausted its stock of
coals. The other, the Smertz, of fourteen guns, 250
men, of the Imperial Russian navy, bound from Cronstadt to
Copenhagen, was considerably damaged.— Universal Prussian
Gazette.

MAPPING THE RAILWAY LINES.--.WE beg to
remind solicitors and engineers, that according to the standing
orders, the whole of each proposed line must be laid down on
a published map of not less than half an inch to a mile, and
deposited with the Board of Trade, with the Books of Re-
ference, &c., by the 30th of November. How this will
operate in Scotland and the North of England, remains to be
seen. The Ordnance maps are on a scale of one inch to the
mile. In Ireland, the maps of which are nearly complete,
the scale is six inches to the mile. A portion of the Ordnance
map is now being executed (though not yet engraved) for
the North of England, on this extensive scale. Yorkshire is
not yet engraved. The rest of the Ordnance survey, south of
Lancashire and Yorkshire, is completed, but on a scalp of an
inch to the mile. Cary's map, which is onlhalf-an-inch to the
mile, and which includes the whole of England and Wales,
and that part of Scotland inclusive, and south of Edinburgh
and Glasgow, is on the exact scale required. But for the
whole of Scotland north of these two cities, there is not any
general published-map of the country larger than five miles
to the inch (Arrowsmith's), and that is not sufficiently exact
for the required purpose.—Raßway Express.
SINDE PRIZE MONEY.—We are informed by a
correspondent that the prize-money about to be paid to the
heroes of Scinde has been lodged in the Bank of England,
the stamp duty on which has been paid into the Stamp-
office, and amounts to the immense sum of 21,8551.

Mr. Terrail, the well-known alto singer, died
yesterday morning, aged sixty-one. Mr. Terrail was en-
gaged for many years at the Ancient Concerts. He be-
longed to the Catch Club, the Glee Club, and the Melodists,
and was highly esteemed by his professional brethren. Of
late years he had grown remarkably stout, so much so. that
the conductors of the omnibuses, when they saw him hailing
them, would cry out to the driver " All right." Mr. Ter-
rail was a clerk in the Excise-office for upwards of thirty
years.

ADJUDICATIONS ON FRENCTI RAILWAYS —Three
important adjudications will speedily take place. That on
the Tours and Nantes Railway, on the 25th inst. ; and those
on the Lyons line, and the Creil and St. Quentin line on the
20th of next month. The delay has been considerable. No
good reason has been mentioned why these lines should not
have been adjudicated long ago. The French system is very
different from our want of system. There, the Government
fixes the course of the line, and allows that ompany to make
it which tenCers an offer to surrender it to the Government
at the earliest period. As in this country, a certain amount
of capital must be paid up before any Company can be ad-
mitted to compete for the lease. Whenever the adjudication
is made, the unsuccessful competitors are bound to return to
subscribers or shareholders the full amount (sometimes
with a very small deduction for expenses) which they have
respectively advanced. It is this which, at the present
crisis, is of very considerable importance. A vast amount of
the capital subscribed for railways in France is English
capital. The withdrawal from our circulation has contri-
buted, no doubt, to that " tightness in the market" (in other
words, scarcity of money) which is now very seriously felt.
The adjudications which we announce to-day will release and
return a good portion of the money so locked up, and must
thus contribute to restore " the elasticity of the market."
From the first, we have been averse to the employment and
investment of British capital in foreign railways. Home
projects, we think, will afford as ample returns, with the ad-
vantage of greater security. Let a war arise, and what
security will the British capitalist possess? We firmly
believe that, if a war broke out, all English capital in French
lines would be confiscated. These are points which must be
looked at and into. Fact is fact, and the security of British
investments in France appears to us very doubtful.—Railway
