BrusseJs Papers to Wednesday have reached us. The
Session of the States General closed on Friday last.
The Royal Speech was read by the Minister of the In-
terior. It congratulated the Chamber, generally, on
theJtate of the' country, and on their legislative la-
bours, and expressed the deepest regret at the melan-
choly consequences of the late inundations. It is stated
that the King had in a great measure recovered from
his indisposition.
Our Indian Finance never was in so high and palmy
a state. The estimated Revenue of 1823 amounted to
22,213,6231. while, five years before, it was only
18,375,8201. shewing an increase in that short period
of no less than 3,837,8031. nor has the charge increased
in proportion; for, after paying the whole interest of
the Indian Debt, there is a clear surplus of above Two
Millions and a Quarter Sterling.
The following is an extiact of a letter dated Frank-
fort on the Maine, February 23 :—" Messy. Rothschild,
of this city, have now received the collections made by
Mr. N. M. Rothschild, in London, for the relief of the
sufferers by inundations in the South-West of Germany,
amounting to 23,590 florins, which were distributed in
the following manner :—To the authorities of the
'Grand Duchy of Baden and the Grand Duchy of
Hesse, were allotted each two•sevenths, or 6,740 fl nins ;
to the authorities of the Royal Bavarian 'and Royal
Wurtembetg States, as also the committee appointed at
Dusseldorf for relieving the poor sufferers, to each
one seventh, or 3.370 florins."
STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—Monday the steam-boat
Alice, the property of Mr. Parry, of Seacombe-ferry,
Liverpool, took fire by some accident, whilst at anchor
off that place. As soon as the fire was discovered, the
men endeavoured to extinguish the flames ; but, finding
their efforts unavailing, they determined to scuttlethe
vessel, as the only chance of saving her from total de-
struction. Sire was immediately scuttled, and sank
opposite to the Hotel. As she lay on the bank, the
ebb tide; which was remarkably stiong, forced her
over into deep water, where she now lies.
Masmorry SOCIETY.—The Anniversary Meeting of
the Subscribers to this Institution took'place yesterday,
at Freemasons' Hall. The mischief arising from pay-,
ing attentigp to begging letters and giving alms in the
streets was again clearly :hewn, and proved to be a for-
niidable means of frustrating thelaudable objects of the
Society, whose indefatigable labours, if duly seconded,
would not fail to produce the total extinction of Men-
dicity in the Metropolis.
A ,Morning Paper states, on the authority of a letter
from Big&swade, that " The ancient family seat of
Sir JOHN MONTAGU BURGOYNI, Bart. at Sutton Park,
was entirely burnt to the ground on Wednesday night,
the 2d instant. It is particularly unfortunate, as the
house had undergone a thorough repair during last
summer, and had a large sum of money expended on it."
A very serious accident nearly took place at the Sun-
derland Theatre, on Saturday night last, between the
play and farce. A dense smoke pervaded the whole
house, and the people from the gallery called out " Put
the fire out—put the fire out !" A wood partition in the
staircase leading to the gallery, was at last discovered
to be in flames ; but fortunately for the gallery audience,
the door-keepers succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
The Celtic Society held their annual dinner at Edin-
burgh, on Friday, the 25th ult. Sir WAVrart SCOTT,
Barr. presided, supported on the right and left by Lieut.
Col. D'Errg, Sir WILLIAM' MACLEOD BANNATTNR,
Bart. Major STraten,
.Ist Royal Dragoons, the Very
Reverend Principal BAIRD, and Mr.LEONARD HORNER,
as guests of the Society. The crotipiers seats were filled
by Mr. MACDONALD of Staffa, and Sir JOHN SCOTT
DOUGLAS, Bart. of Springwood Park. After the usual
toasts had been given with their accustomed honours,
and sever al Gentlemen present had addressed the meet-
ing, Mr. LEONARD HORNER proposed the health of the
Author of Waverley. Sir WA LT,ER SCOTT then rose
and said—" I 'cannot say that I am particularly
acquainted with the Gentleman ; but' he is very
strongly recommended to us, and, if you phase, 1
shall.g►ve the time to his honours." Right loudly *ere
the honours ;ing ; and thus Sir WALTER SCOTT may
be said to have conferred his public honours on the au-
thor of lirarerley.
GLASGOW Carrot; coosequence of an immense
