    The Brussels Chamber Of Commerce Has Dec...

    The Brussels Chamber of Commerce has decided that the government should be petitioned to admit foreign cast iron intended for the construction of machines free of-duty . Tho Chambers of Commerce of Antwerp , Liege , Mon ' s , Ivamur , Verviers , and others , have come to similar decisions . The Swedish Government has decided on a vast system of railways , 'the execution of which will be confided to an English company . A School of Mines is about to be established in Cornwall . The New York Crystal Palace is to be kept open through the winter . Lord Shaftesburv , in a letter to the journals , holds up Manchester as an example to our corporate towns . " I am just returned , " he says , " from a short visit to that town , where I heard and saw the many improvements that had been instituted by that public-spirited body . Vast thoroughfares are opened in many parts ; the streets , courts , and alleys , are regularly cleansed ; pavements are almost everywhere laid down ; the smoke nuisance is in rapid course of abatement ; public drains and sewers are constructed ; the cesspools that remain will , I hope , be speedily removed ; and an-abundant supply of good and soft water is so admirably distributed , that , in a short time , the smallest tenement will enjoy an unlimited quantity at an almost nominal price . The benefits to the mass of the people are quite incalculable .

    It Seems Just Possible That Clonmel Will...

    It seems just possible that Clonmel will elect Mr . John O'Connell after all . The election committee have decided in his favour . A fortnight will elapse before the election takes place . For the second time a resolution to admit the Sisters of Mercy as visitors to the Castlebar workhouse has been unsuccessful . On the last occasion , the numbers for and against were equal , but the chairman ( Mr . JSTeal Davis ) having voted for the exclusion of the sisterhood , the former resolution was declared to be affirmed . The property of the convict Kirwan , consisting of a rentcharge on lands in the county of Longford , ana houses in the city of Dublin , was sold by auction on Tuesday hi Dublin . The attendance was extremely numerous , and the biddings brisk . The whole realized the sum of 4505 Z . A scheme for building extensive lodgings for the poor of Dublin has been set on foot .

    The Fog Settled Down Upon London This We...

    The fog settled down upon London this week with great determination . It was very dense on Tuesday night , bo much so , that tra / Iic , though not interrupted was greatly obstructed . The next morning it was tolerable , hut gradually thickening during the day ; it became denser than ever just about sun-set , and continued so until nine o ' clock . For some time the omnibuses and cabs preceded by links , made head ngainst it , but finding their progress very slow and dangerous , the former gave up running altogether . Between eight and nine the streets looked like those of a city whose inhabitants hud fled from an enemy . A woman was killed in Carey-street , and several persons wore knocked down . On the river the steamers and other craft came to an anchor where they could , and barges drifting against the bridges sustained ' some damage . The fog has boon pretty general over tho country . At Stourhridgo four perrons got into the canal and wore drowned .

    Mr. Irokketh, The Blackburn Manufacturer...

    Mr . iroKketh , the Blackburn manufacturer , whose rusty old engine exploded ( lie other day , killing K ( . Veral persons , and tlio engineer , have been committed for niniislaughtcr on a . coroner ' a warrant founded on a verdict , of u jury . The inquiry lias been very Hcarching , proving the absolute unfitnens of the engine . The TTinMer of the ship Gu ' ulivr / , S 7 « r , which wont into Belfast with cholemon board , has been lined for iiifrhi < niiL the .

K ,, tho defence it was proved that the hospital was not removed until tho return of the vessel , that the four HohW . h in question had become a nuisance , and ( hut the surgeon . had ordered them to be removed when tho cholera broke out . A mirgoon , who wan examined , gave bio opinion that if tho G-uidivtf Fitttr hail not put i ,, to IMIust lh (; ro would not havti been twent y jx'n ; onn alive when nho reached New York . Mr . Mannlield , in deciding || u , m ;( j (| m ( () ui removal of the bulkhead and wntcrclo . sclN bad been connideml lioeeHmtry to the health of tho imnsengei-. s , hat , tho law was imperative , and ho wan obliged to convict ' .

    Mobbs , the man . who murdered his -wife so brutally , was hung , in front of Newgate , on Monday . A gang of Spaniards were ill-treating a woman , at Deptford . Two men ran to protect her , when the ruffians attacked , and stabbed them . One of tho men is fatally wounded . The Spaniards fled . r Two constables have captui'od a cart containing smuggled brandy , and two smugglers in charge of it , at Hayling Island , in Hampshire . A second cart and its driver escaped . Six youths have been killed and four wounded , two fatally , by the fall of two houses at Plymouth . The houses had been purchased and dismantled for improvements boys were playing in them when they foil in .

    A woman , named Hayes , at Kilbritain , near Bandon , has been committed for trial , charged with manslaughter , she having inoculated four children with small-pox matter , two of which subsequently died from the disease thus conveyed into their systems . It was reported that numerous other deaths had previously resulted in her practice . The Master of the Morpeth Workhouse was charged with indecent conduct towards the female inmates- The evidence taken before an Assistant Poor-Law Commissioner was transmitted to the Central Board , and Lord Court enay wrote back , that , although the evidence was not altogether satisfactory to the Board , still there was sufficient to show that the master had been guilty of much impropriety , and that he had better resign .

    A Most Wanton And Unjustifiable Outrage ...

    A most wanton and unjustifiable outrage has been perpetrated on a Protestant church at Warmsworth , between two and three miles from Doncaster .. The occurrence took place some time during the night of Wednesday last , and those who committed it commenced their attack on the building by first throwing stones at the windows from the outside , a number of which they broke . They then proceeded to force open the church doors , as is indicated by footmarks about the place , but , not succeeding , they went to a window on the north side of the church , broke the glass , lore away the lead from the squares ^ and removed the casement , by which they were enabled to creep through . Having thus obtained an entrance , they pulled down the communion rails , and demolished the stone font . Jfothiner

    but the base of the font remains to indicate that one stood there . The velvet cushion on the top of the pulpit , and the one on the clerk ' s reading desk , as well as a great number of tho cushions and hassocks in the pews , were cut and torn , and the stuffings strewed about the church and graveyard . Some wood-work near the communion table Avas also pulled down and broken . The stone near the same place is also pulled up . A number of the books belonging to the congregation have been torn and otherwise damaged , and tin-own about the church . Several loose scats used by the poorer class of the congregation were broken and piled one over another . After they had broken or damaged everything they could come in contact with in the sacred edifice , they proceeded to remove the lid or top stone of a tomb , which they rolled over in the churchyard , and left , it there . It is not possible at present

    to estimate tho amount of damage done to the church property , but it must be considerable . It is pretty evident that the object of the depredators was to gratify some private feeling of revenge , and not to plunder ; ibr , although there is a blue cloth missing , there were articles of value in the church which could have been taken away without much difficulty . The present is not , the first linin that the properly of the church has been damaged , hut not to such a serious extent . The Rev . C E . Thomas , the incumbent , who is much respected by his parishioners , is instituting vigorous measures for the apprehension , if possible , of the depredators , but , the fellows have , shown so much tact and dexterity in the execution of their work thnt wo fear tho authorities will have great , difficulty in bringing them to justice . A reward will be offered for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders .

    The Bad Bourbons Conspiring ; Again. How...

    THE BAD BOURBONS CONSPIRING ; AGAIN . How long is the patience of the world to be wearied with the most elaborate arrangements , the wildest sacrifice of nations , in order to secure the interest , or even the crotchets , of particular families , and those families none of the best in Europe ? The question is one which is important , and even urgent , to the people of Europe , and particularly to the people of England at the present moment ; for it is evident that great dynastic intrigues are now actually on foot . The Duke de Nemours meets the Count de Chambord at

    Erohsdorff ; one makes a . morning call upon the other and the call is returned ; and that paltry fact is counted so important—is , inde ed , by favour of human weakness , so truly important , that it is telegraphed throughout the whole of -Europe within a few hours . And who are those two persons who thus meet ? One , the Duke de Nemours , is the astutest surviving son of Louis Philippe , not the most favourable specimen of a king , nor yet the worst , as kings go . Louis Philippe , the son of Egalite , the debauched Duke of Orleans , who d

    coquetted betweenroyalty and democracy—playe the adventurer through the early part ofhisHfe , now acting schoolmaster in Switzerland ; now courting a Princess in Naples ; then seeking to attain a military position in Spain ; traveling and courting in America , or living in fussy retirement in England ; returning to France with the restoration . Brought to the throne by a revolution and Lafayette ; endeavouring to rest his power on the trading classes alone ; unable to comprehend the national forces by which he was

    surrounded ; kicked out of jx > wer in his old ago ; accepting at last edicts of abdication from a newspaper editor ; he fled to England under the name of Mr . William Smith , and left behind him a large collar of wine and private debts of long standing .- He had a various family , that citizen king—the gallant but not intellectual Orleans ; tho sailorly and deaf Jomville ; the milifather

    tary and active Aumalc , said to be his s favourite , and the Duke de Nemours , with , whom scandal has been more busy than history . Of ins life wo know nothing , but . tho busy tongue aforesaid ascribes to him " some of the most humiliating incidents related of our George the Fourth m nis scapegrace youth ; and it was stated on tho trial of tho Duke < le Praslin , wlio murdered his wile under ciroumstiuioes so stran ^ o , that amongst his

    friends was this same Duke de Nemours . And who is tho other young man P lie is tho grandson of Louis XVIII ., bearing , it is said , a remarkable resemblance to tho degenerate line of Bourbon , wiUi much of tho bonhomie ana dignity of his line , it , wen upon lua neoic , ami the dream upon his mind that the sacred legitimacy of kings is to be restored ; with an incapacity for dealing with affairs as they really 1 •»¦ •(¦ t IT * . 1 ... 1 ... l-. r « .- > - » ril » lll <» ' Wllll jxruuij ¦ ¦ " ¦¦?
