Nearly 300,000/, after the payment of all th, , expenses connected with the Great Industrial Exhibi tion, remained as the surplus in the lianas of the Itlyal Commissioners. Nearly 300,000/. ster ling l And already it would seem almost every six pence of that magnificent sum has been expended. liovv this has been accomplished, the nation w doubtless wonder ; but it will wonder still more when it learns that it has been effected simply by the device of purchasing a cluster of market gardens es the site of a new National Gallery—this rather expensive site being situated between Brompton and Kensington. After this, JOHN But.r. may well paraphrase what has already been so delightfully paraphrased by DICK SWIVELLEZ. He may reasonably lament that he never has a comfadtble little surplus in his pocket but it is sure to be expended in the purchase of market gardens! Here are a hree plums rolled away quietly for the acquisition of a plot of cabbages and a cluster of gooseberry bushes. Not a hodful of bricks, or a trowelful of mortar has, up to this moment, been secured for the construction of the projected galleries. But then the site has been obtained. Yes ! and in obtaining the site, the nation has had the in- expressible honour of sharing from 200,000/. to 300,000/. comfortably and cosily between the hitherto lords paramount of the land and seig neurs of the soil, between Monsieur le Baron de VILLARS, and my lord the Earl of HAUUINGTON. It is really to.be regretted, that the entire transaction has been closed so precipitately. For the use to which the surplus was put, the Royal Commissi oners mus t have known that, directly or indirectly, they were res p o nsible to the nation at large —respon s ibl e so f ar that they were assuredly to be looked to in the mat ter, for something like a rational appropriation of an amount so enormous. Yet acting, of course, so l e l y upon their own judgment, it would now appear that the whole sum has been squandered upon the one object of securing ground for a building to be devoted not merely to the preservation of the pictorial trea sures of the nation, but also to the promotion generally of arts, commerce, and manufactures. The object of this enterprize, is, of course, we admit, at once, noble enough in itself, and one which we should re joice to see kept in view more sedulously than it has been hitherto by the Members of the Impe rial Government. We boar in recollection with unalloyed pleasure, the half promise that a structure of this kind should be raised in the i m mediate vicinity of the M e t ropo li s a t the earliest i possible opp ortunit y — anntimation given in the course of his speech at the last dinner of the Royal Academy by the Right Hon. Gentleman the CHAN CELLOR of the Excuvaturia. It is high time indeed that E ng land should have som e e difi ce of the cha "oiler here implied, more suitable to the glory of the United Kingdom than the wretched m onstrosity of a building in T ra f a lgar• square—the structur e d o i ng d u ty as a c etet-stand in p resence of two dumb waiters by wsy of fountains. Anything, we 01 1 know, would be preferable to the continuance of the di sg race long felt - in this direction—the disgrace o f beholding merely a port i on of the national pictures decorating the walls of that odious architectural abo mination. Anything would be welcome in fact that appeared to be calculated to bring about the desired change anything hut the w holesale disposal of the 300,0 get surplus of the Exhibition for as group . of market gardens, agreeable by way of site, cording to the opinion, or perhaps, we should say, according to the crotchet, of the Royal Commissioners. MosEs, in the " Vicar of Wakefield," selling his other's colt for a gross of spectacles in abagreen cases —JACK, in the story of the Bean Stalk, parting with his mother's cow for a handful of mottled beans— afford us tolerable illustrations of the bargain re cently made by the Royal Commissioners in the pur chase of a few market gardens between Brompton and Kensington in return for the sum total of nearly 300,000/.,the surplus of the Industrial Exhibition. Spectacles are, of course, very good things in their way, and especially we might presume them to be useful to such a particularly shor t-si g hted stri p lin g as the dupe of BALTHAZAR alias JENKINSON. Beans, again, are capital eating no doubt when nicely pre pared and seasoned ala haricot. But surely it must, on thelvery face of it, be regarded as a rather remark able act of extravagance, the purchasing, for a sum so enormous, a collection of potato patches like those intended for the site of our future National Gallery. The bargain, however, bad though we cannot but deem it, has been made—c est un fait accompli—the land is the nation's—the money is that belonging to the Baron de VILLARS and to Lord HARRINGTON. Forty-eight acres have been bought for 150,000/. — twenty acres for 60,0001.—end smaller parcels of land, at the rate of 4,000/. per acre, have been ob tained in " hot haste" by the zeal of the Royal Commissioners. There appears to be no help for it—the ground referred to is now the property of the country, and the House of Commons will conse quently be called upon to advance additional sums of money for raising the superstructure. The " deed being done," Parliament must make the best of it; and we shall now, therefore, look forward with no small solicitude to the course about to be adopted in the matter by the lower branch of the Legislature. At present, the few valuable paintings belonging to the nation are scattered about in various directions — some of them, and those not the least interesting, being only accessible with some difficulty, and under particular circumstances. There is the noble collec tion in Trafalgar-square—disgraced by being depo sited in one-half of that miserable edifice, the other half of which is appropriated to the Royal Academy. There is the collection, in some respects still more choice, at the Dulwich Gallery, with those exquisite Pouissms and incomparable MURILLOS. There are the specimens of the English school in the curiosity rooms of what is known as Sir JOHN SOANE'S Mu seum—comprising, among other treasures, some of the most masterly productions of HOGARTH. There is the magnificent store of native works of art, now decorating the apartments of Marlborough-house, and renowned by the name of its public-spirited founder as the VERNON Collection : and there are other and smaller groups of paintings still more widely distributed, and some of them, for that reason, almost entirely overlooked. If these treasures of art could by any possibility be collected together in a grand central gallery, worthy of England and of her.Metro polls, the citizens of London might not find such ample reason to blush for our national want of taste when visiting the gorgeous galleries of the Louvre, and surveying the storied walls of the Luxembourg. Under the particular circumstances of the occasion, we must henceforth, therefore, look hopefully in this matter to the munificence of the House of Commons— a munificence more than ever requisite, now that the whole of the surplus of the Exhibition has been ex pended in the purchase of those unfortunate market gardens, now that the amount, nearly reaching the splendid total of 300,0001., has been exhausted, now that the country may be:said, in plain terms, to have bought a " pig in a poke," at the precipitate recom mendation of the Royal Commissioners. The Common Law Procedure Act—one of the most important measures of legal reform ever intro duced to, or sanctioned by, the British Parliament— has at length come into practical operation. The dynasty of Joux DOE and kiculup ROE—time-hon oured potentates— is overthrown ; writs of distringas, whether for the purpose of compelling an appearance, or proceeding to outlawry, are, henceforward and for ever, abolished ; and special demurrers and rules to compute will be numbered with the past. We have frequently expressed our opinion respecting this im portant measure. It is unquestionably a step in the right direction, calculated materially to simplify the proceedings in the Superior Courts. It does not, however, go sufficiently far, and will scarcely be accepteu ay Legal Reformers as a perrn.ucu, oettie ment of the question, or as full satisfaction of the general demand for cheap and speedy justice. The end of the wedge has, however, been admitted, and the power of future resistance to reasonable altera tions will he greatly reduced. Tho statute, which contains no less than 2s=6 secs tions, exclusive of the schedules, is founded on the report of the Common Law Commissioners, most of whose recommendations have been adopted. It in troduces very important alterations in practice which may lead to considerable expense and vexation, until the new system is thoroughly understood, and the opinions of the judges have been taken on all doubt ful points which the ingenuity of counsel or solicitor may discover. Its object is unquestionably meri torious. It aims at the abolition of useless techni calities, and allowing the decision of the Courts on the merits of each action to be obtained so speedily as may be consistent with a duo regard to substantial justice, and at a moderate expense. The forms of action are, however, still retained, although the neces sity for such a course was strongly devised by com petent judges. The pleadings, too, are to be framed in a formal manner, and forms are given in schedule (B) as statements of causes of action which may serve as precedents in similar cases. It might have been better had the parties been al lowed to state their own cases in their own language. We are aware of the high authority on which it was considered that such a course would lead to useless prolixity, and the introduction of unnecessary mat ter. We cannot, however, help thinking that a plain and simple story briefly setting forth the nature and character of the acts complained of, and an answer, either denying the facts or explaining them, would be far preferable to any set forms, although the latter were free from all need less averments. The object of pleading is to enable the presiding judge and the opposing party .illy to understand the case set up, and the points relied on ; and it certainly appears that would be more fully ac complished, and the danger of "surprise" considerably diminished, by the mode we have suggested. There was, however, apparently too great a dread of the assimilation of the proceedings in Law and Equity, and the fusion of the several tribunals—a reform that must eventually be accomplished, to permit the adop tion of such a course. We shall now briefly explain some of the provi sions of the Act, which it is essential should be gene rally known, although it would manifestly be im possible to enter into all its details within the space allotted to a leading article in a public journal. The writ of summons is, as heretofore, to be the first step in every suit ; but it is no longer necessary to specify the form or the cause of action therein, and it may be served anywhere within the jurisdiction of court, in place of being limited to the county or bailiwick for which it was issued. Concurrent writs, too, may be obtained for service within, and without the juris diction, so that it will scarcely be possible for any person whose locality is known to evade the service of process, and thus set his creditors at defiance, while he is certain of obtaining full notice of the proceed ings that may be instituted against him —a very valuable improvement in every respect. As we have already stated, writs of diJeringas are totally abolished. It is only surprising how long these absurd practices were tolerated. The object for which they were sanctioned was that of enforc ing the appearance of a defendant, who could not be personally served with the writ of summons, but who knew of the proceedings, and kept out of the way to avoid service, under the system now happily abro gated. When the various calls had been made, an d -fide attempts to effect t p h e erjudgeonai service—in sa ti ti ed of the plat© br of f a n appearance being at once entered for the defendant, the writ was issued, under which they were authorized to distrain on his goads and chattels to the value of 40s. This dis tress, although utterly useless to the plaintiff, was generally presented in the most stringent and vexa tious manner. It could not be sold, and, therefore, it signified nothing whether what was taken wag of the value of 403., or of a single farthing. The full value was, however, invariably taken. The Sheriff was bound to restore the article or articles seized, on an appearance being entered ; but although this was the law, still vexatious impediments were THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1852. interposed, so that it could scarcely be ob tained again without a Judge's order (procurable only at a heavy expense),:or by payment of a fee to the officer. The latter was the most usual course, and constituted the reason why the full amount was levied, and that on the most indispensable articles— so that application for their return and the accom panying fee might be secured to the bailiff. Hence • forward the Court or a Judge may—on being satisfied that reasonable efforts had been made to effect per sonal service, and either that the writ has come to the knowledge of the defendant, or that he wilfully evades service of the same, and has not appeared thereto — order that the plaintiff be at liberty to proceed as if personal service had been effected—subject to such conditions as may be deemed expedient. All that could be desired will thus be achieved, and the tedious, vexatious, expensive, and utterly useless process ,avoided. The proceedings to outlawry against parties residing abroad—the proclamations in the different Sheriffs' Courts and other ridiculous formalities— were even more vexatious and expensive, while they did not ensure a knowledge by the defendant of the nature of the suit about to be instituted against him. In place of the worse than useless forms, the obvious plan ic adopted of permitting the service of the writ in any part of the world, and whether a British subject or a foreigner and on obtaining the permission of the Court or Judge, to proceed in the action in such manner, and subject to such conditions, as may be directed. Dis tinct proof of the debt, either before a Jury or a writ of inquiry, or before a Master, is, however, indispen sable in the case of parties residing out of the juris diction, and the making of such proof is a condition precedent to obtaining judgment. If, however, there be a special endorsement on the writ stating the par ticulars of the debt or liquidated damages—which special endorsement shall stand for particulars of demand—final judgment may be entered on default of appearance by parties living in England. It is essential that this provision should be universally known,otherwise parties might unexpectedly find them selves precluded from offering any defence or opposition t o the demand. If the special endorsement be omitted a declaration must be filed, and if not pleaded to with in eight days, judgment may be signed by default; and execution issued for any sum net exceeding the amount endorsed on the writ of summons, with inter est at the rate specified, if any ; and such sum as may be fixed by the Masters for costs, unless the plaintiff claim more, in which case the costs are to be taxed in the ordinary way. Our space will not permit reference to the other al terations effected by this statute. The rules relating to pleading, &c., however, are more for the legal practitioner than for the community in general ; and ignorance thereof cannot produce such formidable re sults as those respecting the writ of summons and appearance, thereto above referred to. The Duke of Newcastle is at present surrounded by a family circle at Clumber Park, where his grace has re . ;urned from Yorkshire. The Marquis of Abercorn has renewed his lease of the Earl of Chesterfield's splendid mansion, Chesterfield House, which expired on the ,Ist inst., for another three Lord and Lady Brougham are entertaining a suc cession of visitors at Brougham Hall, Westmoreland. The Hon. Mrs. and Miss Spalding joined their noble relatives last week, from town. The noble and learned lord, we be lieve, has postponed his visit to his chateau on the frontiers of France and Sardinia, until after the meeting of parliament. Lord Mount Edgecumbe, who has been alarmingly indisposed at Mount Edgecumbe, has rallied, and his lord ship is considered to be progressing favourably. THE DUKE or TEECEIRA.—His Excellency the Duke of Terceira (upon a special mission from her Majesty the Queen of Portugal to the British Court) accompanied by the uuchess of Terceira, aides-de-camp, and suite, arrived on Saturday afternoon at Mivart's Hotel from Portugal. The beautiful mansion-house and demesne of Morne Park, the residence of the late Viscount Newry and Alorne, have been taken, on a long lease, by Mr. E. G. Hallowell, late representative for Newry, who purposes residing there with his accomplished family.

THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES.—The gentlemen who concoct the " comic scenes" for these merry annuals hare been greatly perplexed this year, as the " examiner of plays" at the Lord Chamberlain's office has cut out many of their best jokes, and refused to license many capital scenes on account of political or personal allusion. THE CITY HOSPlCE.—Yesterday morning, at half. past ten o'clock, a considerable number of poor persons o both sexes assembled in the dining-hall of the City Hospice and Soup Kitchen, Victoria-street. It was arranged that all those who attended prayers should be regaled on their return with soup and bread, and the savoury smell that issued from five or six large boilers afforded the visitors most satisfactory proof that in due time their piety would be rewarded. Of course the rule adopted was, no prayers, no soup, and conse quently the visit to the church was a necessary preliminary to the freedom of the kitchen. The females, about 35 in number, were sent to St. Michael's, Cornhill, and the males were formed into batches, and directed to proceed, under proper superintendence, to the following places of worship : To St. Sepulchre's 30; St. Stephen's, Walbrook, 21 ; St. Vidast, Foster-lane, 14 ; St. Bartholomew-close, 16. Accom modation was not provided for a greater number, and there fore about 50 other persons who presented themselves were not sent to morning service; they were requested to return at half-past two o'clock, for the purpose of attending afternoon prayers, with a promise, of course, of getting their share of the bread and soup. THE CLARE-STREET NursANcE.—An adjourned vestry meeting of the parish of St. Clement Danes has taken into consideration the question of the removal of the obstructive nuisance in Clare-street. The interest the subject had ex cited caused so large an attendance that it was necessary to remove from the vestry-room to the court-house. The conduct of the paving-committee was very severely cen sured, and a series of resolutions were carried, the first of which charged the board with partiality in their proceedings; the second condemned the conduct of certain members of the committee, in preventing the street-keeper from doing his duty; the third declared that the conduct of certain members of the committee to a deputation or pa rishioners had been highly censurable, and that one of those members was unfit to be again elected; and the fourth was to the effect that at the next election the committee ought to be composed of men who had no party interests to promote, and who would treat the parishicners with common civility. Mr. Lewis addressed the meeting in defence of the paving committee, and moved another resolu tion, to the effect that it was their duty to carry out the Act of Parliament, and to preserve for the use of the public the foot and carriage ways unimpeded.

SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.-011 Friday Morning Thomas Mitchell discovered within the iron railings of 14, Weymouth-street, the late residence of the Duke of Ormond, the naked and lifeless body of a newly-born male infant. He instantly informed police constable 48 D, who conveyed it to the workhouse, where it awaits an inquest, previous to which the coroner has ordered an autopsy. DEATH PROM VIOLENCE AT GRAVESEND.—On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. Hilder, at the Brewers' Arms, Gravesend, on the body of Robert Patrick Ferguson, aged 15. Joseph R. Jukes deposed that five or six weeks ago he saw the deceased rowing to the Amsterdam public-house stairs, where deceased got out. He saw a water man, named Henry Simons, strike him with a heavy stick across the arm and back three times. It was about three feet feet long, and three-quarters of an inch thick. P a t r i c k Ferguson, father of the dec e ased, said the boy came home and told him he had been beaten by Simons for taki ng hi s b oa t to save some things from his (witness's boat. He came back the moment Simmons c alled out to him. Mr. Crook said he found a contused wound on the back of the deceased, about four inches square, in which matter was formed. On the B th inst. the patient was feverish from in flammation. The sore in the loins was the ultimate cause of death. A verdict of manslaughter was returned, and Simons was committed to Maidstone for trial.

The houses in question had been " run up" by contract, and had reached their full height, but the roof had not yet been put on, the scaffolding was consequently still standing. They certainly were not built very substantially (as is the case to a great extent in that neighbourhood), and it is supposed that the accident was caused by the great wet which has pre vailed ktely, and has affected the foundations, which are lard on a clay soil. The family in the adjoining house, which belongs to the Rev. Dr. Magee, were very much alarmed by the sullen crash and the shock which followed, but fortu nately no personal injury was sustained. lied the accident happened when the labourers were at work, some six or more man would in all human probability have been buried alive in the ruins. The damage done is estimated at above 2001., and the remainder of one house, which still is standing, will have to be taken down and re-built. We understand that the houses belonged to Mr. Watts, chemist, of the Edgware road. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.- On Saturday morning, between four and five o'clock, a fatal accident happened to a porter, named John Strong, on the Great Northern line. He was on duty at the London terminus, and was crossing as the mail train came up, when he stumbled and was thrown down, three of the carriages passing over him, crushin g hi s ar ms and head, be sides inflicting other frightful injuries. lie was removed with Free Hospital, G'ray's-inn-lane, where h al a l e s x pe r e d d re t d o t t w h o e h tl o o ir a s l after his ltdmiseion. .I)trb IZZlttion.'

The Ootoher .e- - ' es-alai C r iminal Court Hooper, Alderman Sir Geo. Carrol l, Alderman Moon, tuts morning by ttio Recorder. W ant -wail and Alderman Sir R. Carden, the Sheritre, And other civic functionaries. After the grand jury had been sworn, The Recorder observed, in his address to them, that the calendar generally presented the usual number of offences at this time of the year ; but he regretted to say, that there were several cases in whick human life had been sacrificed. The calendar contained two oases by deouobb object living o inf his of murder, an d he was informed that an ot her, in which t h e c harge assumed the same serious character, would be b r ought before th em. In on e of these cases it app e a red that a man , who c w w as ith no th gin vio t l h e e nc m e, o c s a t u d so o d . blows; but it was not distinctly s h own on the deposition by what they were inflicted. Th ere did not appear to be any p rovocat i on on th e part of the deceas ed, but if the case were sen t f o r further in vestigation before a jury, and it could be found that the prisoner had no intention to cause death, he would be , entitled to the acquittal of the charge of murder. The other case was that of a young man who stabbed a fellow-work men under peculiar circumstances. Some charges were reduced to the offence of manslaughter by the fact of their being provocation.by a blow, and where a man re ceives a blow, and in heat of blood returns it by violence which results in death, generally speaking, the absence of malice propense, or premiditation, made the offence manslaughter, and not murder ; but it w a s l a id down that every blow did not justify the use of a deadly wea pon, and in this case the deceased seemed to have been stabbed with a knife. There was another case in which death was caused by the manufacture of fire-works, but the circumstances were s uch as to raise great doubt in his mind whether the prisoner was liable to the charge, as he was not present when the occurrence t oo k p l ace ; but another investigation into the matter was going' on before a coroner's jury. and, probably, no bill would be laid before the grand jury, unless the evidence was con sidered sufficient by the other jury. After some further observations the Recorder remitted them to th e dis charge of their duties. The first edition of the calendar contains 92 oases ; 19 of which are for London, 51 for Middlesex, 1 for Essex, 4 for Kent, and 17 for Surrey. SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY The October Sessions for the county of Surroy com menced this morning at the Court-house, Newington causeway.

THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN THE STRAN D. anclue to the Jonesieerned in the robbery o f watch aml jewellery at lgr. s has yet been discovered and s the police appear to have been completely foiled in all 'thei attempts to discover the perpetrators. Mr. Jones himself The is tinier the impression that some of the parties may yet be !flOuced to come forward by the offer of his large reward, and is itrengthened in this by the fact that it was nearly' five we e k s after the robbery of plate and jewellery . at Illeasrs Sa i ory's, in Cornhill, when a communication was made t • them t o the effect that the whole of . the . property would a rebored upon the payment of a certain stipulated sum.

Railway shares were quiet but steady. Upon the state of the dried fruit trade we have the following from Messrs. Witherby and Hansom : " The Cephalonia New Fruit, although differing much in appearance from the Patras and Genova, has the same character of deadness, tastelessness, and want of substance. It is held at €ss. We have now had speci mens of what is probably the worst, and, according to some accounts, of what may be clnsidered about the best of the 1852 crop of currants. They corroborate, or rather surpass, the most unfavourable opinion we have yet ventured to give of the new crop ; and it is obvious that us more arrivals of such fruit take place, the effect must be to further enhance the value of the old, cape cially if we proceed at our present rate of consumption, which exceeds that of any previous autumn. The out parts and populous localities have still to procure winter supplies." The rail way meetings announced are the follow ing :—Dijon to Besancon, 25 Oct., Paris; East In dian, 2 Nov,, 50, Old Broad-street; Great Indian Peninsular, 29 Oct., Office ; London and North- Western, 3 Nov., Euston Station ; London and South- Western, 26 Oct., London Tavern ; Midland, 3 Nov.

The steamer from the United States has 300,000 dolls. on board. The stock market was rather dull. The banks had extended their discounts in New York, but there was a decrease in the specie they held. The latter may be owing to the accumulation of bullion in the sub-treasuries. The exports were still smaller than the imports. The Chilian accounts represent business and finances as being in a very favourable condition. The Government of the Sandwich Islands has pro mulgated a treaty of reciprocity with the United States. The Amsterdam stock market on the 23d inst. was firmer, but not much was done i n Dutch stock. Spanish was more offered, and other foreign securities were about the same. The Second Chamber of Hol land has voted a first subsidy for the railway extension from Arnheim to the Prussian frontier.

PROBABLE RENEWAL OF THE PAROCHIAL CONTEST IN ManvusnoNe.—There is every reason for believing that there will be again a contest for the election of vestrymen in Marylcbone. The defeated party of last year are about to hold a meeting on this day for the purpose of considering the present parochial management, which may be taken as a de claration of war against the party elected last May. A DRUNKARD'S END.—A man named Aetwick, better known in and about Islington as " Golden Jack," in consequence of his immense wealth, died while drunk a few days ago, at his residence in the Shepperton cottstges, near the Rosemary Branch. METROPOLITAN CARRIAGE COMPANY.—On SLAB& day a general meeting of the above company was held at the office, 10, Craig's-court, Charing-cross—William Green, Esq., in the chair, to receive the report of the directors and for general business. The object of this company is to in troduce an entirely new cab system, which will obviate the necessity of mileage, tend to reduce the fares, and at the same time to add to the comfort and convenience of the pub lic. The report, which was read by Mr. Spears, the secre tary, stated that the number of shares applied for represented a gross capital of 52,3001., being 2,2001. more than the re quired capital. The report having been adopted, it was re solved, upon the motion of Dr. Burnett, seconded by Mr. M`Cabe, " That in consequence of the suggestions of the ma gistracy, a plan of the company be laid before her Majesty's Government in extensor' The solicitor to the company was also directed to communicate with professional men in the principal towns throughout the country, and after a Tote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. THE PROPOSED GREAT DOCKS AT TUE RIVER'S mourit.—The survey of the mouth of the river Avon, with a view to the formation of docks capable of accommodating the largest class of ocean steamers, which we some weeks ago announced as having been commenced by Messrs. Pendell and Blackwell, civil engineers, has at length been brought to a conclusion with the exception of an extra supplementary boring or two which have been commenced to extend the results already obtained to the Swash channel and anchorage ground, and a deep boring which is just put down on the Dung Ball island. The engineers have not ye t made any re port, but we believe we arc co rrectl y informed in saying, o that in a physical and enginee rin g point of view they concur ucester in thinking the site near the Lighthouse, n the Glo side of the river, the most elig ible. There is an absence of rocks and a better flow of tide, and nautica l seen are almost unanimous in recommending it b efore the Portishead side. It is in contemplation. should the docks be made, to connect them with the Great Western railway, by means of a railway passing along by Bristol quay. ACCIDENT AT CAMDEN TOWN STATION,(Turs DAY) —An accident occurred at the Camden Town station of the London and North Western Railway Company to the down mail train leaving Euston-square this morn ing at 10 o'clock. The driver of a goods engine, believing the mail had passed, improperly crossed the n lines n w o e y r a e n c c o e n consequently u t h e n e tl s y h o b c l k o blocked main line without receiving the signal of "all right" the from the pointsmao, and the consequence was a slight collision, which threw the mail train off the rails. The u and e'i u up fora m a aclltkriaeip.n -able time, but happily no injury was done to the majority of the passengers, nor was any inconvenience suffered b them having been remade up, it proceeded on its journey at 11 o'clock. One or two of the passengers were slighly bruised ; and one of the engine -drivers received and bey beyond a severe blow, which rendered his removal to the hospital necessary. THE MARIONETTES' THEATRE.—" The Carpet Bag and Sketch-Book" is the title of a new entertainment, of which a private rehearsal took place on Saturday night, at the Marionettes"lleatre, Adelaide-street, Strand. It is somewhat in the monopologue style of Mathew's celebrated " Evenings at Home," the representative of the various characters introduced being Mr. W. S. Woodin, who exhibits very great versatility of talent and flexibility of voice and feature in his impersonations of the various individuals pre sented. The illustrations are aided by some cleverly painted pictures from Mr. Woodin'sSkete.h-Book, and diversified by einging in character and costume. Railways. Aberdeen 1001. paid Amb., Not., Bost. &E.
