The Courrier Francais says:-" was remarked, at the last reception at the Tuilleries, that the Marquis and Mar chioness of Normanby were paid great attention to by the Royal Family.

BELGIUM

The pastoral appeal of the Bishop of Ghent, in which he asks all for 150,000 poor creatures in the villages of East and West Flanders, had been kindly responded to. During one year of suffering, durring which the wealthy people have male tliginselves poor by their charities, the benevolent societies, guilds and brothuchouds had exhaust- ed their funds, and the grants of the Legislature had been expended. the priests had given up all they had, and their begging availed but luulo: To encomter such another year was feariul. The Bishop opened his relief commit- tee on the 14th of January, heading the list of subscriptions with 1,300 francs of his own, and borrowing for twelve months 1:200 more to give out in portichs, Count Fellx de Merode promised 950 francs per month till Mag, and other grants of a very liberal amount are recorded.
