Tempting though the challenge is in itself, it is more befitting the dignity of journalism that threats and insults should still be answered by a continuance of what we have endeavoured to show to this person all through, namely, courtesy and con sideration. TILE British Parliament seldom adds to its own dignity when it interferes in purely local matters. On Saturday last it passed a vote prohibiting the sale of any portion of Finsbury Park, and on Monday it rescinded the resolution, on the ground that it is not the business of Parliament to deal with the case. However humiliating it may be to acknowledge such a blunder, it is satisfactory to find the House of Commons awaking to the fact that the regulation of the metropolitan parks is no part of its business. From acting on the opposite principle, the public has suffered very largely. A short time since twenty thousand pounds was voted to improve the ornamental water in Regent's Park. The locality on which this money has been expended is surrounded by railings, and notice boards are put up warning those privileged persons who have the right of admission not to admit anyone else. The taxpayers who have paid for the improve ment of the park are not allowed to do more than read these notices. It may be very desir able that certain genteel families should have a park all to themselves, for the happy children and nurse maids and coy lovers, who desport themselves thereon, but it not quite so clear why other people should pay for it. London derives many advantages from the fact that it is the seat of government, and it certainly is not entitled on this ground to call upon the nation to support either its public or its private parks. The Londoners complain, and very justly, that they pay many thousands annually forthe police who keep order at the House of Commons. By all means let the public pay for looking after their own representatives, but there should be a clear separation between payment on national and local account. In mixing up the two the nation is sure to get the worst of it. In the case of the Finsbury Park it was gravely proposed that the Government should pay half the cost. When this proposition was negatived, the Metro politan Board of Works reduced by one-half the quantity of land to be purchased. The House of Commons then endeavoured to enact that no portion of the land which they had bought should be sold ; but the Board ofWorlis naturally objected, and said, " If you leave us to pay, you must leave us to rule." Payment and power must go together; and as the country do not wish to pay for the London parks, there is no reason why Parliament should attempt to manage them. Parliament has assented to this very sound prin ciple, and we hope that it will be carried out to its legitimate conclusion, leaving the metropolis to bear its own proper burden without undue interference, and, assisted by the advantages which naturally accrue to it as the seat of the national government. THE French EMPEROR has redeemed the pledge which he made to the representatives of the nation a short time ago. The details of the scheme of reform which was promised on the 12th of July are now before us. It is reassuring to find that the ruler of France has not trifled with or misinterpreted thelate decisive manifestation of his people ; he has conceded quickly, and, there can be no doubt, largely. That the changes set forth in the programme which the Senate now has under consideration fully realise the hopes of the French nation, would be too much to affirm ; but that they must effect a decisive alteration in the Imperial system of government is incontestable. The Ministers are henceforth, says the programme, to be responsible, whereas previously the EMPEROR alone was responsible, his subordinates being so many shadows of himself. This reform is not however fully explained in the text of the Senatus Cousultum. We are told that the Ministers are to depend only on the EMPEROR, and their responsibility must of course be regulated in great measure by what the nature of this dependence turns out to be. Th eE3yEn on will, of course, reserve to himself the power of appointing or dismissing his officers, but if he allows that they are answerable for their policy to the Parliament, the whole fabric of despotic rule comes clown, and Constitutional Government takes its place. As Ministers may be members of the Corps L6gislatif, it will be impossible for any func tionary to continue his administration whilst the majority of the House in which he sits is hostile to his policy. Practice must be left to determine the precise nature of the relations between the EMPEROR, the Ministry, and the Parliament. But it is evident that the Rubicon is passed. The EMPEROR abdicates, at least in theory, the great principle on which his Government has hitherto been founded. The spirit of the despotic regime to which France has been subjected for seventeen years was that the Sovereign was answerable only to the people—which meant that he owned no responsibility of any kind what ever. Now he agrees to rule by his Ministers, who more or less are to stand or fall according to the merits of their policy. This is the most important feature of the new system of government ; but several other articles cannot fail to be attended with the most momentous results. Previously, laws could be brought forward by the Government alone ; no deputy, or body of deputies, could do what we call " bringing in a bill." Now the right of initiating laws is to be divided between the EMPEROR and the Legislative body. The importance of this reform needs no exposition. Further, the right of voting orclres clu jour motives is conceded. This means that either House may pass resolutions—such, for instance, as our Irish Church resolutions of last year. Hitherto nothing of the kind has been possible. The members of both Houses have the right of questioning the Government, and of proposing amendments to laws. In addition to these material concessions, the Budget will in future be voted section by section, instead of in the lump, thus giving the deputies control over each item of expenditure. Up to this time no deputy could suggest an amendment to a law, no question could be put without going through a formality which ended in all unpleasant queries being struck out, and the Budget could only be rejected or accepted as a whole—an arrangement which obviously sets criticism upon extravagance at defiance. Though some of these concessions are limited by corres ponding restrictions, the whole rather exceeds than falls within the EMPEROR'S original promise. It is not to be expected that a sovereign, first endowed with such absolute authority, would voluntarily give up more than this ; it is high testimony to the fore sight of the Third NAPOLEON that he has promptly yielded so much. The facilities for debate accorded to the Parliament, and the respon sibility of Ministers, cannot fail to give the French people a very large share in their own rule. Pro bably never in history was such a change accom plished in so short a time. We in England know full well how hard and tedious is the task of winning liberty. ALARMING FIRE IN THE STRAND. This (Thursday) morning, about two o'clock, consider able alarm was caused in the Strand owing to a fire break ing out in the premises of Mr. H. Swaebe, tobacconist and cigar importer, carrying on business at No. 164, Strand, next door to Curran's Ilota Plenty of water having been procured, the firemen wont to work, but they were Imelda to get the flames extinguished until the front shop and back parlour were very seriously damaged by fire, the stock in trade being nearly consumed, and the upper part of the building damaged by he.tt, Sc. Several of the win dows in the hotel were also broken, and the contests were slightly damaged by smoke. The origin of the fire is un known. Both sufferers were insured iu the Phoenix Fire Office. Mr. Swaebe's premises were also on fire on the 10th of February, 1868, and the 7th of January, 1869. DurivrLLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of 'Whisky in the world.

On Wednesday afternoon her Royal Highness the Princess Christian, in her Majesty's name, and by her command, laid the foundation stone of the new parish church of Ryde, amid a brilliant gathering of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood. The Mayor, in his official capacity, received the Princess Christian, the Princess Louise, Prince Christian, and a nume rous suite. Prior to the commencement of the inau gural ceremony a service was performed at the temporary church in Newport ward by Bishop Ryan. At 4.30 the royal party drove down the Newport road in two open carriages and four, with a guard of honour of the local volunteers. On the arrival of the royal party the ship Martin fired a salute of twenty-one guns. Pro ceeding to the site of the proposed church, the Mayor pre sented an address on behalf of the Corporation to her Royal Highness. The vicar of Byde, the Rev. J. Poole, also presented an address on behalf of the Building Com mittee. To each of these her Royal Highness made a suitable reply. Her Royal Highness Princess Christian, attended by Princess Louise, then laid the foundation stone in clue form ; after which a number of ladies came forward and laid their offerings of purses on the founda tion stone. This ceremony concluded, the Volunteer band struck up " God save the Queen," and the royal party catered their carriages, to return to Osborne. The proposed ;hunch is from the designs of Mr. George Gilbert Scott, of spring-gardens, London, and is in the middle period of lecorated Gothic. THE FUTURE OF TIIE IRISH CIIURCH. - - -e. The Pall Mall Gazette says that the immediate fortunes of the Irish Church will be influenced mainly by the character of the new constitution, and the extent to which commutation is resorted to, the latter being the most im portant consideration. It is so essential to the sue. cessful working of the disestablished Church that three-fourths of the clergy in every diocese should commute that the leaders in the constitutional con vention will be, above all things, anxious not to give say ecclesiastical person a shadow of an excuse for holding back. This anxiety will of itself give a conser vative bias to the action of the convention. No man will care to commute his life interest for the benefit of a repre sentative body from whose proceedings he already sees cause to dissent ; and the main object of those who guide the synodical legislation of the next wo or three years will consequently be to make as few alte rations as possible. By so doing they will make diocesan commutation almost a certainty, and maintain, as far as in them lies, the historical continuity of their position. Even after commutation has been secured, and the capitalised value of the life interests has been paid aver to the representative body, Conservative in issences will not be wanting. The capital in question will come into the hands of the representative body so burdened with life annuities that the principal chance of making anything by the transaction beyond the 12 per cent. bonus will lie in the willingness of the annui tants to make arrangements by which the Church can turn their services to better account. If, for example, the wealthy rector of a parish containing fifty to a hundred Protestants chooses to draw his annuity in situ, the Church will obviously have gained very little by his lonsenting to commute. The object of the representative body will be either to induce him to be content with less money or to undertake more work. The former process will be of so delicate a nature that it will hardly be often resorted to, but, as regards the latter, Ni'd suspect that public opinion within ;he Church will put a pretty strong pressure upon rich in :umbents. They will have, if they do not wish to be Looked upon as very sluggish shepherds indeed, to migrate ';o parishes with large Protestant populations, and to leave their flock in the wilderness to be looked after by a curate, )r to make the most of its half share in the ministrations )f a neighbouring incumbent. By redistributing her re sources in this way, the Irish Church will be able to make them go very much farther, but in order to do this she must give the richer clergy no excuse for listrusting her ecclesiastical policy. An annuitant under Ole Act loses nothing by dissenting from any future changes introduced in the doctrines or government of the Church ; )n the contrary, he becomes excused from work without any detriment to his income. It is only by keeping the Church in all essentials what she is now that the clergy tan be certainly prevented from asserting their individual Adependence. The Guardian, in an article on the same subject, says—" Some of the clergy aro said to desire the re vival of the old Irish Convocation ; laymen, on :he other hand, propose that the machinery of he late Conference should be set in motion again What advantage would be gained by convening at he outset a purely clerical assembly, and that very ill con 3tituttd, we do not clearly see. Subject to the 1133ttir judg - - ment of those who are on the spot, we conceive that a meting of the Irish Convocation at this stage of the pro- Nedings would do more Larm than good. Possibly it is ntended to be merely formal, and the thing contemplated is V) connect in somo visible way the future of the Irish Church cci; h its past." ANCIENT ORDER OF FORESTERS. .~-~ At the annual high court meeting of this society, now being held at Sunderland, the following report has been read :-" In the year 1868 the total receipts were £307,880 2s. 2d., and the expenditure £303,894 3s. 4d. The number of members initiated during the year was 36,268. The contributions returned as paid to ;he sick and funeral funds of courts is £310,456 3s. sd. for 330,261 members, or an average of 18s. 4d. per member. The average for 1867 was 19s. 2d. ; for 1866 it was 18s. 10(11. ; and 18s. 7d. for the year 1865. The interest paid to the sick and funeral funds amounts to £29,381, or about n per cent. upon the capital at the commencement of the year. The sick allowance 'or the year is given at £193,278 Gs. 6d., or an average of us. 80. per member, being seven days' sickness for every member, assuming the average sick pay to be 10s. per week or ls. Bd. per day. The average for 1867 was lls. ld. ; for 1866, 10s. ; and for 1865, 11s. Bd. The sickness for the last four years appears to have been rather regular. For funeral allowances there has been paid by courts £54,681 lls. ld., equivalent to a levy of 35.-3 d. for each member returned. The corresponding levy for 1867 was 3s. 4d. ; for 1866, 3s. 4d. ; and for 1865,35. id. The amount paid for funeral allowances in 1868 is neaey equivalent to the sum of £l2 for each of the 3,330 members' deaths, and £6 for each of the 2,317 wives' deaths, recorded in that year. At the end of the financial year of 1866 there were 292,174 members, the total worth of the various funds being £1,010,434 Os. 11d. ; in 1867 there were 299,904 members, and the funds were £1,099,475 16s. 9d. ; and in 1868 the number of members had risen to 330,261, the funds being estimated at £1,228,136 12s. 9d. ; excluding widows and orphans' funds, to which only a few members con tribute, the total worth would give an average per member of £3 lls. 4d. The average for 1867 was £3 Os. 9d., and for 1866 £3 Gs. id. The expenses of management for courts is given at £54,071 184. 3d., or an average of 3s. 3d. per member. The total worth of the court management funds is given at £41,643 15s. 6d., an excessive amount, the most of which should be transferred to the sick and funeral fund, to which it legitimately belongs. The district management expenses are given at £6,937 175., and the worth of district management funds at £3,258 ss. Bd. The district funeral funds amount to £109,331 10s. ld., being an increase of £1,071 19s. sd. upon the return of the previous year. The widows and orphans' funds are given at £51,511 11s. Bd., and £13,721 2s. 9d. appears to have been paid to widows and orphans during the year." THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.)

There is something exquisitely charming in the amenities of life which are intermittently thrust upon the recognition and acceptance of anyone upon whom have been devolved the responsibilities of journalism. A preception of this has even been brought home oc casionally to the Editor of a monthly magazine. The realisation of the fact is a matter, however, not by any means of exceptional, but, on the contrary, of very frequent recurrence to the Editor of a weekly, but most of all to the Editor of a Daily Newspaper. Among all the varied interests which have to be cared for simultaneously and unceasingly by the re sponsible editor of a public journal published every twenty-four hours, that is upon every week dayall through the revolving year—in the midst of the incessant labours, the labours " never ending, still beginning" of the journalist at the head or centre of every such complex organization—the gerant or re dacteur en chef, as he is called upon the other side of the Channel—there is the uncertainty, every now and then, in spite of the utmost possible vigilance, with a view to the prevention of aey casualty whatever of the kind, that, an error of fact, or that an unin tended exaggeration, or that a wholly unwitting misapprehension may mar the accuracy of some announcement. Every journalist, every day of his life, it may be very safely asserted, is liable to the hazard of something of this description. Casualties of the kind are precisely what he is perpetually guarding against. Habit renders it, at last, the in stinctof his nature to guard against them, always and to the very uttermost. It is, consequently, but very rarely indeed that there arises any occasion whatever for the revision of some casual, and certainly entirely unintentional, inaccuracy such as those of which we have but just now indicated the character. As a rule, again, it may be quite as confidently asserted, that in English journalism inaccuracies or exaggerations of any kind have only to be pointed out to be upon the instant acknowledged. Nevertheless, in spite of every determination to act not only with courtesy, but, even we will say, with the . most delicate conside ration in the interests of those among the general public, who bring themselves into communication with him upon these occasions, the journalist, it sometimes happens, will find himself entirely baffled in his endeavour to act scrupulously, as we have said, not only with courtesy, but with consideration. An instanceof this kind has but very recently fallen within our own experience. And, fresh from a glance at the "Literary Flies" commented upon in the present number of the Britannia, we cannot but particulaiise the incident we are here referring to as another and the latest contribution to the curiosities of journalism. A Correspondent, alluding in our journal of the 20th ultimo, to the then immediately anticipated visit to Manchester of the Prince and Princess of WALES, referred to " a leading Manchester man of enormous wealth" as having made the most sumptuous prepara tions for the reception, as his guests, of their Royal Highnesses. No name whatever was mentioned. It was sim,ily said that " a leading Manchester man of enormous wealth" had been makingsuch-and-such preparations for the reception of the Heir Apparent to the Crown. His mansion, it was said, had been re-decorated and re-f urnished for the occasion, and—it was added--among other costly devices which hal been adventured upon for the beautification of one portion of the house to the very uttermost—that pic torial treasures of very considerable value were to have been displayed there upon the occasion, in accordance with an arrangement with an eminent firm of Picture Dealers, well known for their t tste and munificence, not in Lon don and Manchester alone, but far and wide throughout the United Kingdom. No individual whatever, we repeat, had been named by our corre spondent. The announcement was perfectly harm less in itself, but was one that proved, after its appear ance, to bare been based upon a misapprehension. Th e Messrs. AGNEW and SONS, of Manchester, addressed to us, in regard to it, a courteous letter, in which they intimated that, so far as the para graph related to themselves, it was founded upon a misconception. That letter *was at once pub lished in our columns with an editorial foot-note, in which we expressed our earnest regret that, upon the particular matter referred to, there should have been one moment's misapprehension. Meanwhile a person of whose existence previously we had no knowledge whatever, whose very name when it came before us in his own handwriting was wholly unknown to us-=at once fitting the cap upon his own head—insisted upon it that he was the individual re ' ferred to in the paragraph, at the same time insisting upon it that the paragraph was incorrect through out ! No name had been mentioned, but he was the individual referred to—he being, of course, the only " leading Manchester man," and the only man of " enormous .wealth" in all Manchester. No name was to be mentioned, but the paragraph—wholly incorrect as it was stated to be—was to be reprinted —a rather Irish suggestion—for the purpose of being withdrawn! A preposterous notion in itself, and one only in keeping with the writer's modest assumption to himself of the character—as alone his—of " a leading Manchester man of enormous wealth." Not satisfied with his suggestion of the exceed ingly Irish reparation just now described, the person demanding this absurdity at our hands, responds to our assurance that he was, individu ally, never in our minds—we knowing nothing whatever, indeed, previously, as we have said, of the very fact of his existence, throws out a threatening reference to the whole thing as libellous, and—.after the publication of the Messrs. AGNEW'S letter in our own columns, with our 01,V11 earnestly expressed regret thereupon—closes his communica tions with ourselves by transmitting to us a let ter, couched in terms of the grossest and of the most unjustifiable impertinence. It would almost appear, in fact, as though the only course open to us, now, would be to publish name and address in full of one 50 Singularly anxious to fit this cap—this THE TIVIAN-W ATERFORD SCANDAL. In the court for the trial of Divorce causes, on Wednes day, before the Right Hon. Lord Penzance, the cause of "Vivian v. Vivian and Waterford" came on for trial. The case has excited widespread interest owing to the high position held by the parties to the suit. The petitioner, the Hon. John Cranch Walker Vivian, M.P. for Truro, and War Lord of the Treasury, prayed fora dissolution of his marriage with Florence Grosvenor Vivian on the ground of that person's adultery with John Do La Poer I3eresford, Baron Tyrone and Marquis of Waterford. The peti tion set forth that the parties were married on the 18th of June, 1861, and had since resided at livers places, including Lowndes-street, Belgrave-square, aruro, ite. By the marriage there were three children. It was more particularly alleged that the respondent com mitted adultery with the co -reel ondent on the sth of March, at the Hotel Westminster, Rue de la Paix, Paris. Captain Vivian, the petitioner, asked that the co-respon dent might be condemned in the costs of the suit. The Marquis of Waterford answered, and the respon dent simply traversed the charges. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Prentice, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey were counsel for the petitioner; Sir J. L. Kan lake, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the respondent; and 1)r. Spinks, Q.C., for the co-respondent. Mr. Prentice, in the absence of Sir John Celeridg , , opened the case for the petitioner. He briefly recapitulated the particulars given in the petition. He, in addition, stated that the respondent was a daughter of Major Rowley, of the East India Company. They lived for some time with Lady Kinnoul, in Lowndes-square, up to the autumn of last year. In 1863 the petitioner made the acquaintance of the Marquis of "Waterford, who was only some 25 or 26 years of age, and they became very inti mate, and the petitioner visited the Marquis in Ireland. He would read a letter to shew the court what friendly relations existed between the parties. Sir John Karslake hoped that, as other names would be introduced ,the Court would read the letters itself. Lord Penzance said that the parts of the letters referring to the case must be read openly in court. Mr. Prentice then read a letter from the Marquis 0 the petitioner, which commenced " My dear Johnny," and said, " I have had a d-1 of a row with `George,' who has behaved infernally badl." The Marquis had "every hope that he (Captain Vivian) would get into office, as there must soon be a change." The first intimation that the petitioner received of his wife's misconduct was by two letters, one from the Marquis and the other from the resr ondeat. Sir J. Karslake and Dr. Spinks objected to these letters being read till they were proved. Mr. Prentice, continuing, said that in the first week of March the respondent and co-respondent were found missing. A detective was employed, and traced the parties to Calais, and from thence to the Westminster Hotel at Paris. The petitioner and a sister of the respon dent went to Paris, and there was au interview, in which the petitioner implored the respondent to return for the sake of her children ; but she refused, and then said she must have time to consider. The next morning she wrote a letter, saying, " I can't go. I have tried and tried to give him up, and against his urgent request I must stay. Don't let anybody come near me, or I shall do myself some harm." The Dowager Countess Kinnoul spoke as to the peti tioner and respondent being at her residence in Lowndes square. Captain Vivian seemed a good and kind husband. The Marquis of Waterford came sometimes, but witness did not see any undue familiarity between the Marquis and the respondent. Henry Smith, a sergeant of detectives, was on the sth of March employed to find the Marquis of Waterford and Mrs. Vivian. On that day, he (witness), Mrs. Knight, and Captain Vivian went to Calais, and from thence to Paris. Mrs. Knight and the petitioner went to the Grand Hotel, and the witness found that the persons they were in search of were at the Hotel du Westminster. He saw the Marquis coming out of the courtyard. Knew him by a photograph he had given to him. Henry John Foley, brother-in-law of the petitioner, on the sth of March went to see Captain Vivian, who shewed him two letters. The petitioner seemed in great distress on the day Mrs. Knight came to town. By Sir J. Karslake : Did not mark the letters. Emily Knight said her husband was a major in the ..my, and she was sister to the respondent. On the sth of March, in consequence of a telegram, she came to id, Lowndes•street, where the Vivians lived. Witness, the petitioner, and Smith went to the Hotel du Westminster and asked for the Marquis of Waterford. The door was at first refused; but subsequently saw her sister and the Mar- Witness told her that she had come to fetch her back. Mrs. Vivian said she should not go ; but on witness saying that Captain Vivian was in Paris, the respondent said she would come and see him, and she came in half an hour and saw the petitioner. Witness was not present at the interview, which lasted from a half to three quarters of an hour. The letter (produced) was received the next day, and witness again went to see her sister, and again urged her to return ; but Mrs. Vivian said she could nut, as she had slept with the Marquis the night previously-. Witness again tried to get her to come back, but the respondent was obdurate. Witness asked her again to come back for her children's sake, but she would not. William Tanner, clerk to the petitioner's solicitor, went 0 Paris with the citations and copy of the petition in this mit. At the Hotel du Westminster he served the citation on the Marquis. Witness asked for Mrs. Vivian, and a, lady came out of an adjoining apartment. Witness also served her with a citation. Thomas Calvert, clerk at Fox's, army agent, had been dmed to paying the Marquis of Waterford's cheques, lie believed the letter produced to be in the Marquis's hand- writing, Sir John Ka.rslake then objected to the letter being admitted as evidence. There was no proof it was the Marquis of Waterford's. Lord Penzance said providing that the letter contained anything material to the issue, and it was proved in the Marquis's handwriting, he should admit it as evidence. Dr. Spinks said that there was no envelope to skew that the letter was meant for the Marquis. Dr. Tristram said they admitted the identity of the Marquis in Paris. Sir John Coleridge said such being the case he should withdraw the letters. The letters commenced "My dear }lorry," and one passage that transpired was "I have kissed 'D. L. She grows more like you every day." Dr. Tristram and Dr. Spinks, when called on to address the court, said they had nothing to ray. Lord Penzance said that the adultery had been abun dantly proved, and there would be a decree nisi, with costs. The Corporation of. Waterford on Wednesday passed a vote of thanks to the Premier for the successful passing of the Church. Bill. PERVERTED NAMES.—As a proof of the way in which names get perverted and their origin forgotten in the course of a couple of generations, let us take the term fly-" How few are aware of the meaning of the name. About half a century ago sedan-chairs were in use at Cheltenham, as in other places, Some ingenious person placed a sedan-chair on wheels, thus saving the labour of one chairman ; and as it was chiefly used after dark, it was christened a "fly-by-night," and soon by abbrevia tion a " fly." The origin of the term is now clean for gotten, though it is corroborated by the fact that at Tor quay, and possibly elsewhere, very tiny carriages arp still called " midges," and in French in ouches. The ornitholo gical idea with which possibly we have been wont to asso ciate the term hitherto is fairly lost in the entomological if our account of the matter be true. ROMAN CATHOLICS IN LONDON.—According to the (Roman) " Catholic Directory," there are now in London and its suburbs about ninety churches and chapels belonging to that religion. It is curious to look back no farther than sixty years, and to see how differently the Romanists then were circumstanced. In the "Stranger's Guide through London" for 1808, there are enumerated only eleven Roman Catholic places of worship in London. and two in the suburbs. The list is as follows :-1. Duke street, Lincoln's-inn -fields ; 2. East-lane, Bermondsey ; 3, Denmark-court, Soho ; 4. London-road, Surrey ; 5. Prospect-place, St. George's-fields; 6. South-street, May fair ; 7. Sutton-street, Soho ; 8. Spanish-place, Manchester-square ; 9. White-street, Moos-fields ; 10. Warwick-street, Golden-square ; 11. Virginia-street, Rat cliff-highway ; 12, Hampstead ; and 13. Clark's-buildings, Greenwich. A PLUCKY RAILWAY PASSENGER.—The express train from Bristol to Paddington, on Monday, met with a singular accident. Soon after passing Reading the passengers in a first-class carriage, last but one in the train, were alarmed by a violent blow on the window frame, followed by showers of small stones and gravel pat tering against the window and side of the carriage. On looking out it was discovered that the tire had come cif the middle wheel of the carriage in front. One of the pas sengers seized the signal cord, but found it only went to the next carriage, instead of to the engine, and that another cord, on the other side of the carriage, was fastened to stanchion in the middle carriage cf the train, and went on from there to the engine, so that while those ,carriages from the middle of the train to the engine were in coin• munication with the engine-driver, those from the middle to the end were only in communication with the stanchion. One of the passengers then got out of the carriage and walked along the steps of the carriages till he got near the engine, when the driver saw him, and in obedience to his signals stopped the train, thus preventing what might have been a serious accident. As it was, a window was smashed and a hole made in the carriage bythe broken pieces of the wheel and ballast flying about. The train proceeded slowly to Southall Station, where the disabled oa i rriago ind e 94 444 the jojmypetimeciL, HER 11IAJES7T. OSBORNE, August 4.
