Diffidence, or a e of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em s the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea tution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret Ai- Prosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper.

All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral ise the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes ; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look up's' their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. The want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a reeent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" nlll be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to net, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the diameter of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect ea higher profeasiona position than they could otherwise obtain ; and,to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field cf labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in Want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. . . That the inmates of the Institution should consist of 'three dames : I. These under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for. a period of-five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct eontrol from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very Important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which n ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive ( f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in ono payment, or in several payments within four years, or an anneal subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Erase, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti- tution. Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer. The following gentlemen have formed themselves into a Provi sional Committee, to arrange the details of the Institution, and to solicit assistance for its establishment and maintenance : Rev. J. M.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grlmstone, of the Herbary, High gate ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hai r on her head, after usino* it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and 's mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regeitator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ils. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iii far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair frcm coining away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant aid surly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may - use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary ceunpanion t 3 the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops en the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most Cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplics.tions. If used on infants' heads, It has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—see pamphlet of testimonials.

" Sir,—lt is new three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief trom pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe eases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you willgive publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. "I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, •‘ MICHAEL NISMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic ['ills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past lor present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in, the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates Its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nouri,hes the Hair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandriff, accelerates its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of kealthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb untie- cessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilise! world ; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

DOUGLAS'S " ADVENTURES OF A MEDICAL ,STUDENT.—This work consists of a series of stories rather resembling `The Diary of a late Physi cian,' resembling it certainly in , the tragical (and often terrific) character of the tales. They have most of them a striking, many of them, a startling species of interest, and indicate no common power of imagination. The work will be enjoyed by the readers of fiction, and the more so on account of th e variety of incident w hich it embraces, there being upwards of twenty distinct talcs. i In many of them, where t he interest s more of a domestic nature, the scenes are of a most tender and touching character; in others, the interest is more terrible in its nature, touching upon dark deeds of bloodshed. Nor are there wanting stories of the strange an d the super natural. In fact, we have the n fits t fruits of a wild and fervid fancy, revelling i i full luxuriance.— rn /lig Post. Amongst those relations in which one man f ee l s very repugnant to stand with another, is that of security; and although a friend may ex press his willingness to do much to serve you, he evinces a strong disinclination to become responsible for your actions or fidelity. This feeling so generally pervades mankind, that it is a matter of difficulty to procure persons who are not under its influence. This difficulty is, however, now happily re moved by the formation of an association, professing to stand responsible for the fidelity of persons in situations of trust, for a trifling annual. per tentage, a n d w hi c h, under the direction of influential gentlemen, ha s offices in the capitals of both England and Scotland. In the former, at 9, Waterloo. place, p a ll-mall, and in th e l a tt e r, at 127, Princes-street, Edinburgh. T he Lords of the Treasury, the Poor-law Commissioners , others, are amongst those who, convinced o! the beneficial naturo of this association, have given. it their sanction, and accept it as ample security.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member ►f the University of Edia burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several condition➢, fa order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source to every listance disclorsed, in how many could itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, whiek when used in moderation i.e fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and or greater or lees Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on she statuse and conseenence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the humus frame, than any other to which it to subject. This work contains Si accurate aid complete amount of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, aid of their relative ceaditious in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest atteatien and study, for what subject cast be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of witch every man should be poesessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victira of excessive indulgence awd vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies •f advanced age, while sufferiag from their invariable uonsequencee, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these comelitinta are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting Um, he forgets that accurate discrimination a ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man wile can show by his poase.eion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY A-YEAR. At the present political juncture we hear Very much of " One Hundred and Fifty a-Year," And I certainly think it will net be amiss, To say a few words on a subject like this ; For the topic of income is certainly one Which calls for a line from E. MOSES and SON. Many persons indignantly " set up their backs" At the thoughts of an Income and property tax ; Especially so when it reaches the sphere Of a limited " hundred and Fifty a-Year." The stateensen themselves are divided about it, Some wish to retain it, while others would scout it ; Some cry "Let us have it." and others cry " Waive it ;" Bat the neutral language of MOSES is " Save it." All persons possessed of a " Hundred and Fifty," Have need to be prudent, and cautious, and thrifty, And the fact c: an income and property-tax, Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats oa their backs. The savings by. MOSES would shortly appear In the tax on a " Hundred and Fifty a-Year," T!.e coats, vests, and trowsers, the hate, and the sheer. Would save them far more than the taxes would lose ; And the worth of the garments would make them appear rossess'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Year ; And thus have we proved that the subject is one Which specially bears on E. MOSES and SON. LIST O➢' PRICES.

This species of piscatory pursuit is well known. The days of Irish fortune-hunters are gone ; after doing duty at every watering-place and in every novel of the hour, the trade was removed to Paris, where the young roués of the Jockey Club, running through all their fortune, on the average, in two years, with le Sport and le Turf, found means to pass off with the beaux peres parvenus the brass that was left for the gold that was lost, and regilded their fortunes with the assistance of rich brides. In the vaudeville of last night aM. Olgar (Josset) is practising the aforesaid piscatory art on a rich vulgarian, M. Camus de Montgibaut (Cartigny). This beauspere has a daughter, Caroline, who is far less enthusiastic than her father for Olgar's decoys of fashion and riches, and is still less smitten by his person. Her sentiments are far different, however, for M. Fabien Chatelain, the son of a banker, who, dying at the mo fnent of a commercial crisis, has barely left his son suf ficient to pay the creditors of the firm, of whom Montgibaut is one of the most considerable, and one of the very few that have not withdrawn their capital; the vulgar millionaire is about to do so, and despises Fabien for his poverty. Fortunately the young man has a foster sister, Dorothia (Nathalie), who loves him deeply, and has not deserted him in his adversity. She manages to ' draw Montgibaut, by a false address, to Fabien's home; she diverts the fine clothes and the fine dinners, the hired carriage and horses Olgar has ordered, from their destination, and places them at the disposal of her foster brother as each emergency arises, whilst, for the love of her, every one tenders him service. The result is, that M. Olgar is discarded; Montgibaut—his palate tickled with niceties, and his eyes fascinated with apparent riches—confides his fortune to Fabien, who marries Caroline; whilst Doroth6e.—disinterested to the last— refuses his hand, although she loves him, and finds her happiness in the triumph of her exertions. There are no terms of praise too strong to be applied to the deli cacy, finesse, and feeling alternately displayed by Nathalie. Josset, as the spendthrift lion,_witia..alfsvi, as:empty as his puree, was effective; whilst Cartigny, the vulgar millionaire, was admirable. Had the orchestra only condescended to play in tune, and the intervals betwixt the acts been shorter, we should have pronounced the performance perfect. There were present—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Mrs. de Burgh, the Baron Knesebeck, and Mr. Edmond S. John Mildmay ; the Russian Minister and the Baroness Brunnow, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord and Lady Holland, Lady Webster; Lord Munster, Lord Malmesbury, Sir John Lyster and Lady Kaye, Sir Henry Meux, &c. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took tbeir accustomed early walk yesterday, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Mr. Lewis Grauer had yesterday the honour of sub mitting for the inspection of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert the first numbers of his work on ornamental designs for decorations and manufaetures, which has been prepared for publication, under the authority of the Government School of Design.

Bell, M.P., had interviews with Sir George Grey at the Home Office yesterday. 4, 1848. [PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Sales 3,500 bales, of which 2,500 were Ameri can at 44d. to 6d. Railway Shares were dull, but prices could not be considered lower. The accounts from Rio :de Janeiro, of the 24th January, notice the failure of Lord Ilowden's efforts to obtain a liberal arrangement of the duties in future to be charged upon British imports, but without success. The proceedings of the Provisional Government of France in endeavouring to raise funds are watched with intense interest here. It is evident, and the necessity is acknowledged by impartial persons, that, nolens vokns, the capitalists of Paris must exhibit confidence in the existing Government, but it is not clear that their back wardness arises from unwillingness so much as inabi lity. The losses of the great houses at Paris must have been tremendous, and how to be repaired none can tell, for each day imposes further sacrifices. The good sense of the working classes who,doubtless, need greater liberty and fairer treatment, but who do not desire the prostration of their employers, is looked to as almost the only safe guard. The cause of free-trade too, in the hands of such a man as Louis Blanc, is not likely to receive much encouragement; and so far his doctrines are at variance with the true principles to be expected from republi canism, viz., extended commerce, and friendship secured by ties of interest with all parts of the world. Accounts from New York remark that " should the State decide upon enlarging the Northern canal, she will be placed in a better position than Boston for foreign trade, as ino railroads can compete with 4,000- barrel vessels on a parellel line of travel. A. daily line of steam-boats could then be established with Mon treal—the immense timber region on the Ottawa would be opened up for the present to the West Indies, &c., &c.; New York would thus be opened up a much more extended field of enterprise ; and, moreover, Canada as a province ' would reap a rich harvest from the revenue from her canals, if the contemplated trade passed through the St. Lawrence. The trade with Upper Clenada, which now goes through the Erie canal to Oswege, would all by this proposed scheme pass through her own canals, and within nine miles of Montreal. The mer chant of Montreal and Quebec would possess a double advantage over those in New York, as he would have the choice at Loehine of the markets for his produce, as he could either send it to Europe via the St. Lawrence, or to New York via Lake Champlain. At present there is but little foreign trade in Canada, and the proposed plan is the only way to create it."

DUBLIN, 3iattcu 12.—The Provost and Board of Trinity College met on Sunday after Divine service, when an address to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant was unanimously agreed to, expressive of confidence in his Excellency's wisdom, and a determination to uphold the peace of the city under the trying circumstances in which the Government is placed by the unwarrantable conduct of the agitators of" young" and " old" Ireland. Every arrival from the north of Ireland brings reports of the meetings of Orange ,lodges, and of addresses of confidence in the Lord-Lieutenant, with assurances of readiness to come forward whenever required and render every support to a Government determined to maintain the peace and order of the community. KINSALE ELECTION. The Cork Repot ter contains the following, received by express from Kinsale:— " KINSALE, SATURDAY..—At right o'clock this morn ing the polling commenced in the booths, three in number, and, as the agents for both parties were up all night preparing for the coming contest, the supporters of the rival candidates rushed in immediately on the opening of the court, and the polling was carried on very spiritedly for some time. There was no rioting, or more excitement exhibited than would be naturally sup posed to take place on such occasions. The men stood by, passive spectators of passing events, and any ex pressions of disapprobation or applause were given by a number of women who congregated before the court house, but no violence was offered to any person polling. "At the hour I write (twelve o'clock) the polling , stands as follows: _ _ Lord Robert Clinton ... ... 85 Mr. Hawes 79 Majority for Lord R. Clinton ... —6 " The entire number polled, up to this hour, is 164, which would leave 30 still to record their votes; and as many who on the last election voted for Mr. Guinness, on the present occasion gave their support to Mr. Hawes, it is not improbable that that gentleman will be the sitting candidate. However, should he be returned, it will be by a very small majority, and it is calculated that the largest majority which the successful candidate may have over his rival will be 3." RETURN OF MR. lIAWES. " Messrs. Johnstone, of Eden-quay have favoured us with the following letter, just received from their agent in. Kinsale . "KINSALE, SATURDAY NIGHT, HALF-PAST FOUR.— Mr. ifawes has been declared the sitting member for this borough. We could not get the exact numbers; but his majority over Lord Robert Clinton does not exceed five or six at the utmost." SHOCKING MURDEII. BY POACHERS. —HY THE, HANTS, SATURDAY.—The magistrates of this district have been, during the week, prosecuting an investiga tion relative to the death of Charles Payne, a game keeper on the estate of A. H. Drummond, Earl., of Cad lands, near this place, who lost his life in a fearful conflict with a gang of poachers. It appeared that, on the evening of Saturday, the 26th ult., the deceased accompanied by another watcher, of the name of John Cull, and his nephew, James Cull, were out in the pre serves, ou duty. About half•past ten o'clock they heard the report of fire-arms, just above Cadland's House. They proceeded in the direction of the sound. Reaching a place called Shobland's Copse, five men approached ; the gamekeepers then pounced upon them, and a fearful encounter followed. The poachers iired one of their gulls, and, by beating the watchers back with the butt end of their fire-arms, sadly maimed the unfortunate deceased. Cull, the other gamekeeper, courageously held the ruffians William Smith and Thomas Brotcher. The other men were recognised to be Stephen Harris, Thomas Knapp, and Alexander Cavell. In the pockets of Smith were found two phea sants, and on the spot where the fetal affray took place the remains of the guns were found. At the Coroner's inquest on the body the jury returned a verdict of " Wil ful Murder against Morris, as principal, and against Thomas Knapp, William Smith, Alexander Cavell, and Thomas Brotcher, as eider, and abettors." The magis trate, who presided, adjourned the examination of the prisoners until next Tuesday. Some of the poachers are still suffering from the injury they sustained in the des perate rencontre. Hum., DIAxcII 13.—The Archimedes steamer has just arrived from Hamburgh, which town is in a state of great fermentation. The Senato has voted freedom of the press, but the concession comes too late, and formidable demonstrations are being made to compel mach greater concessions. Meanwhile business is at a stand-still, and confidence is superseded by gloom and anxiety. We understand that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier left England on Thursday last for Ostend, on their route to Germany. DEATH OF SIR EDWARD BAYYVAI SANDYS, BART. —This gentleman died a few days since, at Tredegar, Cornwall, in his 55th year. Ile possessed estates in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. In 1807 he assumed the name of Bayntum by sign manual. GLASGOW, MARCH I I.—PIG IRON.—The con tinued unfavourable accounts from the continent, and the riots here, have had a depressing influence on the price of pig iron. Several thousand tons have been sold during the week at from 475. to 48s. cash, for mixed numbers; one sale was reported at 445. To-day the market closes with a very heavy appearance at 455. sellers, but little could be placed at 445. cash. Cotton wool—Business has been very dull and unsettled since Monday on account of our local disturbances, and as compared with last week, prices are down d per lb. From the same cause the transactions in cotton yarn and goods have been very limited. .(AI & B.) C. 1 ... S. Western -!/, ... ..... 37%.• .. ::6' 7 ... .... ...... 27% Do. New .

The .discovery was made by a police-constable, who succeeded in making the inmates sensible of the l',reat danger to -which they were exposed. They immediately got up, and made an attempt ti escape by the stairs, but they had barely got upon the landing when they wero met by an immense sheet of flame, which nearly prostrated them. Having retraced their steps to their bed rooms they were about to throw themselves from the second ' floor window, when the policeman called to them to re amain where they were for a few minutes, as the escape -was coming. The machine belonging to the llo7al ;Society for the Protection of Life from Fire having reached the scene, the whole of the residents were taken down in safety. It was past two o'clock before the fire was safely extinguished. TUE LONDON FLORICULTURAL Socirrr.—Yester . day a . meeting of parties interested in floriculture took place at the London Tavern, for the purpose of estab lishing a society for the encouragement of that art, and the permanent support of florists in their productions.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE VIADUCT OVRI TUB RIVER NIDD AT KNARESBOIOUGH.—KNARESBOROUGTI, YORKSHIRE, SATURDAY.--This day, about half-past `eleven A.M., the entire viaduct, which was nigh being completed, fell in with a tremendous crash. It con sisted of four arches (the centres of which had not been removed), each 50 feet span and 80 feet high. The cause of so g reat a catastrophe remains a mystery yet to be explained, but it is thought it has arisen in a great measure through the heavy rains which have prevailed for the last two months. Fortunately no lives were lost. It was intended for the use of the Leeds and Thirsk, York and North Midland, and East and West York shire Junction Railways. 31p alp 20% 13 1 4 ..... 4X a-- 5 , AI .....
