BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—The average price of wheat
last week was 22f. 50e., and that of Rye, 13f. 57c.
per hectolitre, wheat is therefore still exempt from
import-duty, while Rye is liable to import duty of
21f. 50c. for 1,000 kilogramme's. 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.

FIRE AT KENNINGTON.—Yesterdav afternoon,
about half past one o'clock, a fire ocetirred at the exten-
sive wadding manufactory of Messrs. Taylor and
Richards, situate in James-street,, Kennington. The
fire broke out in the wadding-room, and, from the light
and inflammable nature of ifs contents, the whole was
speedily in a blaze. An alarm was immediately given,
and messengers were dispatched to the different fire
stations for the engines. Unfortunately, however, it was
found impossible to subdue the fire until the whole of the
building, with the valuable machinery and other con-
tents, were iestroyed. It is not at present correctly
known how the fire originated, and, to add to the Ca-
lamity, Messrs. Taylor and Richards are not insured.
This is the third time within the last two years that
Messrs. Taylor and Company have been sufferers from
dikmotcre,
