en upon the common steady principles of fair and pru-
dent commerce ; as if he had never heard the word spe-
c as if the present sufferings of the country
were not principally due to gambling and monied
Manufacturers. Every man who is not blind to
what is passing must be well aware that the
opening, of the foreign corn trade permanently would
give rise to a system of stupendous gambling such
as the world has never seen, the early effect of which
must be to reduce home prices often below Conti-
nental prices, so as totally to ruin the British farmer
—to raise prices often above the highest British
prices so as to starve the people, and the end of which
►oust be to desolate our fields, and to destroy our ma-
nufactures themselves, by alienating the capital of
the country. It is folly to suppose that trade, under
a particular system, must be governed by the same
principles after that system shall have been changed.

SUICIDE OF GENERAL BUZEN.
On the suicide of General Buzen, the Belgian Minister of
War, the Independant of Brussels gives the following :
" Some days ago a Radical Journal, the Patriote Beige,
published a statement of the services of General Buzen in
France and Holland, under the Government of the Kins of
the Netherlands and in the Belgian army. From these
accounts it appeared that the General was not a Belgian by
birth, but had deserted the ranks of the French army in
1307, and that he never was a member of the Legion of
:lonour. This publication was repeated by several Journals.
At a meeting of opposition Deputies on Friday last, held at the
residence of M. Puissant, it was proposed that the Minister of
‘Var should be questioned on the subject at the next meeting
of the Chamber of Deputies, but in the end it was resohed that
a deputation of two Members of the strong Opposition party,
and two of the moderes, should first call upon him to de-
mand an explanation. These font- gentlemen, Messrs. Ver-
baegen and Orts, D'Hoffschmitlt and De Millet, waited upon
the General, and executed their mission with all possible de-
licacy. The General replied that a full explanation should
amear in the next number of the Moniteur Beige, On Sa-
turday, however, he put an end to his own existence by
discharging a pistol against his right temp .e in a small
wooden building in the garden near his house, outside
the Louvain Gate. Whether what was published of him
was true or false we know not ; but we would not for all
the world have to reproach ourselves with having put it forth,
for General Buzen was a brave soldier, full of energy and zeal,
and the great services he has rendered to Belgium since the
revolution are incontestible. The General was employed on
Saturday morning at his office for two hours with his Secretary-
General. At eleven o'clock he shut himself in his own cabinet,
' and continued writing till half-past twelve, when he came out
and gave a sealed letter to one of the porters in attendance,
desiring that it should be delivered to his aide-de-camp at one,
but not before. This order was punctually executed. The
letter was received and opened by his aide-de-camp, in the
presence of M. Geard, the General's private Secretary. It
contained the following words :-4 When you read this, I shall
be no longer existing. YOu.will find my body in the small
pent-house of the kitchen garden.' The two gentlemen in-
stantly hastened to the spot, and there found the General life-
less, his head being dreadfully shattered. The servant had
already become acquainted with the event, but Madame Buzen
was still in ignorance of it. To communicate to her the
shocking fact was a distressing tasst, for the fatal news gave
rise to the most heart-rending scene. She for a time in-
sisted on being taken to him, and was with the utmost difficulty
dissuaded. She has ever since remained in an indescribable
state of agony."
The Obserrateur, of Brussels, in giving its account of the
above lamentable occurrence, in which, as to the act and its
causes, it concurs with the Independant, says,—
" When the deputation came to General Buzen, he received
them very politely, and, having heard them, replied that he
had been made acquainted with the publication two or three
days before by his colleague, M. Van Voixem, who had given
y.
riournsi ae,
whichothe
fhisl
him the number of the Patriote Beige in which the article in
question was contained. He treated the matter with contempt,
and teemed to think it beneath him to take any notice of such
calumnies. It was represented to him that a great many copies
of the journal had been distributed among the troops, and some
had even been posted up in the neighbourhood of the citadel of
Ghent and in other places. The General listened to these ar-
guments, and entered into a discussion. As to his not being
a Belgian by birth, he admitted that he was born in
North Brabant, which is part of Holland ; but, as his father was
a Belgian, he, according to the civil code, was a Belgian also.
As to the accusation of his having deserted from the French
army in one of the wars of the Empire, he replied that his dis-
appearance from his ranks was the consequence of his having

Buzen, was able to produce. The deputation still urging the
necessity of a public answer to the repo Ls circulated against
him, the General promised to insert his justification in the
Moniteur. Upon this the deputation took leave of him in the
most friendly terms."

The Observateur, in another paragraph, says--" It is gene-
rally reported that the portfolio of the Alinister of War is to be
confided ad interim to General Evain, but General Nypels and
several other officers are talked of."

The Globe of Brussels mentions a report that the Belgian
Ministers, the colleagues of Genetal Buzen, had requested him,
on the morning of his death, to make explanations on the
rumours circulated about him, which would prevent questions
being put in the Chamber. The General, irritated at this de-
mand, is stated to have beeome so warm as to have struck one of
the Ministers, and it was after this that, letting them go to the
Palace of Lacken without him, he carried his fatal intentiwn
into execution. The Courrier Belge states that King Leopold
was at table with the King of Prussia, and the guests invited
to meet his Majesty at Lacken, when a letter was brought him,
written by General Buzen before he destroyed himself. The
King, it adds, could not repress his emotion, but did not com-
municate the cause of it to anybody at the time, and afterwards
sent General dllane with a message of condolence to the Ge-
neral's widow, te whom his Majesty wrote during the evening.
The following communication, promising to untold the cir-
cumstances involved in this affair, has just come to hand:—
'" RaUCSELS, FEB. 7.—To TUE PRINCIPAL EDITOR OF TITS

COU ItRIElt•

" Sir,—ln the hope of putting an end to the numerous re-
r rts which, in spite of your laudable efforts, continue to cir-
culate, respecting the cause of the suicide of General Buzen,
I beg you to inform the public that I am in possession of docu-
ments that will confound his calumniators, and that I am en-
gaged in drawing up a statement which will be published before
the Chambers resume their sittings.
"Please to add that I am ready, even now, to show these
authentic documents to all respectable persons. Of course, I
have no mind to receive into my house the assassins, whoever
they may be, of a man who honoured me with his friendship.

DUBLIN, FEB. IL—PROVISION TRADE.—The Tories here
are quite delighted with Sir Robert Peel's plan for sustaining
the monopoly of the landlords ; and only that he contemplates,
according to the general belief, a great diminution of the duties
upon the admission of foreign cattle and provisions, their joy
would be eomplete. But this project of opening the provision
trade is exciting the most painful apprehensions amongst the
great class of landowners and graziers, who are so deeplyinte-
rested in maintaining the high price of cattle. In fact,
.the
Irish landbrds appear to think the cattle monopoly fully as un-
portant as the monopoly in corn, and every where reclamations
are heard against the supposed policy of Sir Robert Peel re-
garding the provision trade. Vague apprehensions of a property
tax also perplex the Irish Tories ; but from one source of ter-
ror they have been relieved by the Corn-law scheme of the
Premier.

William ,umley, rope-maker, Northallertoti, while
sighing in the t fiver Viriske, near to Yafforth, on Saturday last,
caught a fine wild dusk. The line was put in the water
baited with worm, which it appears the dock had taken, and
was thus caught in the trap laid for the poor fish.—Leeds Mer.

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.--J. S. Yeats,
Esq., has, we are informed, exchanged from the Secretaryship
to the office of the Superintendent of Traffic, and is succeeded
as Secretary bz John Whitehead, Esq., Secretary to the joint
station of the Greenwich, Croydon, and Brighton lines at Lon-
don Bridge. —Dover Chronicle.
Yesterday the weather was again exceedingly pro-
pitious for the promenade of the Beeuf-gras and for the folliei of the
day. The cortege took the course we announced, and throughout
its progress was accompanied by all the curious and the gamins, to
say nothing of maid.servants and children, of all growths, that
dwelt in the neighbourhood of its line of march. When the pro
cession arrived in the Court of the Tuileries, the King appeared at
the balcony of the Pavilion de l'Horloge, with the royal family, and
the Duchess of Orleans, holding by the band the Count de Paris,
dressed in the Scotch style. On a sign from the King, the child
who represented Cupid was taken from the car, and, accompanied
by Venus his flusher, and followed by the whole of the deities of
Olympus, immediately went up to their Majesties. On the line of
Boulevards, soon after one o'clock, the crowds of pedestrians began
to collect, and the files of carriages and horsemen to thicken ; and
from three to five the Carnival was at its height. Some of the masks
were amusing, but their number was small. The equipages, as on
Sunday, were very handsome, and the brightness of the day, with
the mildness of the weather, added greatly to the enjoyment of the
scene. The admirable order preserved by the police throughout the
d:ty, prevented all accidents, as far as we have heard. Last night
the Bals Masques at the different theatres, &c. were very crowded.—
G caigtsussi.

d lavingnThe
t aonapdffri nsible editors of the Quoti-
printer of those papers, for re.
itvhaes called. on before the Tribunal of
Commerce. The counsel for the editors demanded that the
printer should be compelled to print. the articles given him by the
editor, The President asked the printer, M. Proux, whether his
refusal, in the case of the Quolithenne, was not an affair concerted
between him and the editor, but the printer replied thst the dis-
tanhiterce3r4adiite;haeargtiareileneS;r°
Pute about it having arisen at three in the morning, the only
thing that could be clone was to leave the article out. The tri-
bunal ordered the case to be put en delibere for a fortnight, and
directed that the articles not inserted should be submitted to it
for inspection.

The LORD CHANCLLLOR gave judgment today in this case,
which was argued before the Court a short time since. The ques-

tion in the case arose upon the will of Conquest Jones, who was
possessed of certain leasehold houses, the rents of' which by his
will he bequeathed to a lady named Martha Rooke, for her life,
not subject to the control of her husband, and after her death
the Trustees were to stand possessed in trust of all the houses, for
Mary Clark, the daughter of Martha Rooke, riot subject also to
the control of her husband, and after her death the rents and
profits were to go tt, her children, or her heirs, to be divided
equally hetwe,n them. The Trustees afterwards made a codicil to
his will, interposing another estate for life, namely, that of George
Hooke, the husband of Mary Rooke. Mrs. Clarke married, and
had ten child ren, eight of whom died in her lifetime; and the
question for the decision of the Court was, what interest those
children took under the will? The general rule was, that where
there was property of this description, and it was given to trus-
tees in trust, to pay the rents and profits to the tenant for
life, and after the death of the tenant for life, the testator
gives over the fund to be divided among children; those chil-
dren, according to the general rule take vested interests, and
in the event of the death of any during the life of the tenant for
life, their interest passed to the personal representative. There was
nothing in the face of the present will that showed it was nut the
intention of the testator that the children should take vested inter.
a,ts. The Court, therefore, must declare that the children took
vested interests, and the shares of the children who died during the
lifetime of their mother, passed to their persona; representatives.

This case also stood on the paper for judgment, and upon its
being called on, his Lordship said he must have some further state.
went from the Committee, as to the circumstances connected with
the case. He thought the case should go back again to the Master
to re►iew the Committee's accounts, that Committee being the tenant
for life of the lunatic's freehold property, and his interest, therefore,
was opposed to that of the next of kin.

Mr. BIALOW suggested that the next of kin should present a
short petition.
Mr. CAI-VI:AT, on the part of tho Committee, courted inquiry into
all that he had done.

The Loan CHANCELLOR thought the Committee should bring the
matter before the Court in a more satisfactory shape, and thus the
case rests at present.

It is generally understood to be the intention of the Lord Chan.
cellar to sit in the House of Lords, to hear Appeals, on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays.
It is also rumoured that Lord Cottenham Will sit on Mondays in
the House of Lords, to hear Appeals.
