At a MEETING, hell at SUDBURY, on Monday, Feb. 3, The MAYOR in the Chair, Mr. Fearon, the solicitor for the Company, explained the plan of the proposed line, and it was Resolved unanimously, That it Is of the utmost importance to the interests of this borough to prevent a diversion of the traffic from Nor wich to bailor:, which has so long. passed through this place. That it appears that the Essex and Suffolk Railway, by passing to the west , of the town, with a station at North-street, will prove the cheapest and best line that could be adopted, avoiding the expense of a long viaduct or embankment, and the danger of penning back the Foods in the Stour valley, and preventing any interference with the Stour navigation, and that this meeting accordingly pledge them selves to its support. That Robert Mapletoft, Esq. Chairman of the Bury Quarter Ses sions, be requested to act as local secretary.

BUCKINGHAM ELECTION. BUCKINGHAM, MONDAY.-To- day, at eleven o'clock, Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle was re-elected for this borough. There being no opposition, there was neither stir nor bustle in the place. A little after eleven, Mr. H. Smith, the Mayor, took his seat in the Town-hall. He was supported by the Rev. Mr. Cot ton, Captain Dews, Rev. Mr. Sylvester, Rev. Mr. Fremantle, Alderman King, Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle, Mr. Humphrvs Humphrys, ' Mr. F. Bartlett, Mr. Parrott, Messrs. D. King, Stowe, Blackwell, Salmon, &c. After the usual formalities were gone through, The Rev. Mr. COKER rose and said—Not many months had elapsed since the Mayor had called them together for a similar purpose to the present, upon which occasion Sir T. Fremantle was chosen their representative without dissent. He expected the same would he the result to-day, because his opinions had undergone no change, nor had any change taken place in the opinions of his constituents. Of course they were aware of the cause of the vacancy. It was be cause Sir Thomas Fremantle had been appointed to a higher office under Government than the one he previously held. That promotion was not his seeking. The Government looked out for the best man to fill the place, and they selected Sir Thomas Fremantle. Had that gentleman consulted his own ease he would not have crossed the Irish Channel—he would not have embarked on the stormy sea of Irish politics.— (Hear, hear.) He would, on the contrary, have re , mained where he was, and enjoyed his otium cum dig nitate. He could not but admire him for the step he had taken, and those who knew him well would know that he would well perform the duty he had undertaken.—(Cheers.) Even that master of vitupe. ration, Daniel O'Connell, could only say of him that he was a nice man for a small tea party.—(Laughter.) Mr. O'Connell was accustomed to the blustering of repeal dinners, and held in contempt the milder pro ceedings of the tea-table ; yet it came with a very bad grace from so profound a teetotaller. Nothing could he a stronger testimony in any one's favour than that Mr. O'Connell, who had at command the whole vocabulary of abuse, could say nothing severer.— (Hear.) It might be said that his new duties might take him away, and occupy him too much, to the prejudice of their interests, but in those days there were no such things as absence and space —railways and steam had obliterated them. They had heard of an Irish Member who was in two places at the same time. Why, then, should not an Irish Secretary be in three, if required? —(Laughter.) He would not detain them any longer, more especially as Sir Thomas spoke so much better than he did. He would, therefore, leave him to speak for himself; but this he would say, that Sir Thomas would discharge his duties satisfactorily, and would not disappoint their expectations. He con • eluded by proposing Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle, as a fit and proper 'person to represent them in the Commons' House of Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. C. D. BENNETT very briefly seconded the nomination. There being no other candidate proposed, the MAYOR declared Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle duly elected. Sir T. F. FREMANTLE said he almost feared he was presuming too much on their kindness in offer ing himself as their representative for the second time in nine months.---(Cheers.) His doing so was the result of no ordinary occurrence, or he would not have put them to the trouble and inconvenience at that time of the year. The result, however, of that day's proceedings had justified him in doing so. He could assure them that he had not ventured to aspire to so high a post as the one which he then had the honour of filling, which was one of the highest in the i'lrovernment of Ireland, and second only to that of Prime Minister—(Hear)—but there were frequent occasions, both in public and private life, when they were obliged to submit to the wishes and judgment of others. It was under some such circumstances that he had accepted the office that had been offered to him.—(Cheers.) It was most gratifying to him that the day had passed without an expression of un kindness; and the honour they had that day con ferred upon him was doubly gratifying on account of the way in which they had conferred it.—(Cheers.) He could not help feeling highly proud that he had been for the ninth time elected Member for the bo rough of Buckingham. So short a time had elapsed since he had last addressed them , that few events had transpired ; but those f ew had been of the most gra tifying nature. The misunderstanding which at one time threatened a rupture between England and France had been settled, and the peace subsisting between these two nations had been renewed and cemented by the gracious visit of the King of the French to our Queen.— (Loud cheers.) The Emperor of Russia, from his distant empire, and the King of Saxony, had paid deferenti a l v i s it s t o our G rac i ous Sovereign.—(Cheers) The interchange of visits be tween ambassadors was likely to do good, but the visits of Kings and Queens were better indications of the maintenance of peace.—(Loud cheers.) He would also mention the visit of her Majesty paid to a loyal nobleman in that county.—(Loud cheers.) As they had so lately had an opportunity of reading her Majesty's speech, he would not then!enter into de tails of the state of the country ; the commercial, manufacturing, and shipping interests were highly prosperous, but it was with , much regret he would admit that agricultUral produce was much depressed. The seasons had been against them ; the produce had been short, and the prices had not risen up to what might have been expected; in consequence, the seve rity of the time was felt to a greater extent than perhaps any of them present had ever recollected If any remedy could be applied by Parliament her Majesty's Ministers would come forward with T HO ALAS SMITH the ELDER, DICE MAKER, VORY TURNER, &c. late of St. Martin' s -l ane , now o f Ityder'slcourt, Leicesters quareAnsolvent Debtor.

The Line of Railway now submitted to the Public, rests its claims for support on the strong general ground of its passing through important districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose interests haye been almost entirely neglected in the laying out of the different Railways hitherto executed or projected for the bene at of the Eastern Counties of England, but winch possess, nevertheless, population, vealth, and traffic, amply suffi cient to defray the charges of forming a direct railway count-mica , ion through them, and to afford a.good return for the capital required for the purpose. Commencing, at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties Railway), this line will pass close by Braintree, Rocking, Halstead, Sudbury, and Lavenham, to Bury, running, throughout its whole extent, of thirty-nine miles, nearly conterminous with the ancient and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the heart of Suffolk. It will have, for its termini, two important market and assize towns ; and for its principal intermediate stations, places which are the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures. The towns of Bury andSudbury are the two largest in the county of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two largest in Essex, next to Chelmsford and Colchester. The population of the hundreds which 1%111 be directly intersected by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it would be more available than any other Railway, to 43,500, making the total population which may be reckoned upon, as necessarily tributary from local vicinage to this line; not less thau 176,631. Between the Metropolis and all the places which have been named, as well as between these places themselves, there is a large existing traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to give, as in all other cases, a vast extension. The Chelmer and Stour Navigations, through which the districts traversed by this Line now receive their supplies of coal, lime, timber, iron, &c., and which are also the principal outlets for its agricultural produce, will not only have their own operations greatly facilitated, and their revenues increased by its formation, but contribute consi derably to the income of the Railway. They would be feeders, but in no respects rivals to it. But, besides the above local traffic, the Line would command a very considerable through traffic between London and all the Northern parts of Norfolk. From time immemorial more than one third of all the coach traffic. between London and Norwich, has passed over the line of road with which this Railway will be con terminous. An extension of the line to Thetford, and also a branch from Brain tree to Maldon, by the way of Witham, have been surveyed, and will form part of the scheme, if required by the Board of Trade. From calculations which have been very carefully made of the existing tratllc alone, it appears that, assuming that it would be trebled by the facilities afforded by railway communication, which is less than what all railway experience would warrant, the total re turns from the projected Railway would amount to 105,4051. The Line selected for the Railway is the result of an engineering survey, on which much time and pains have been expended, and will, it is confidently believed, be found to be not only the very best of which the nature of the country admits, but one admirably adapted to meet the wants of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made and cheaply worked. The gradients are easy, and well balanced ; the earth-work will be less than the average earth-work on railways ; and there will be no constructions of much difficulty or magnitude. The land re quired for the Line will be mostly farm-land, of moderate value, and in no place will it pass through any parks.or ornamental grounds. Deducting 40 per cent. from the groos returns for the expense of working the Line (a liberal allowance for a Line of this character), it would leave a net annual revenue of 63 , 24 3 / ., wh i ch wou ld be equal to 8 per cent. on the invested Capital. Power will be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. interest on deposits until the completion of the line. Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to any of the Solicitors or Local Agents above-named, or to L. M. Simon, Esq., Broker , Warnford - court, Thr ogmor t on - s t reet ; or t o Th o mas Forsyth, Esq., Broker, Liverpool. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

He was per sonally unacquainted with Ireland ; but having been a Member of the House of Commons for seventeen years, and having taken part in the legislative mea sures connected with that country, ho felt the greatest interest in its prosperity. Taunts had been thrown out that the English people disliked the Irish; nothing could be more unfounded.—(Hear, hear) A more warm-hearted people did not exist than the Irish—(Cheers)—treat them with kindness, and you would make them friends. Ireland was an integral part of the empire, and was to be treated like the counties of York or Cornwall. Unfortunately there did exist in that country a strong distrust of the Bri tish Parliament, British rulers, and the people. He, however; did not despair of seeing the day when the people of that country would look to the union with this kingdom as their best safeguard.— (Loud cheers.) , Everything must be done to conci liate the people of Ireland, laying down the rule that the legislative union should be maintained, the Church upheld, and the laws respected. They were prepared to hold out the right hand of friendship to their fellow subjects, and make friends with them. They might fail, but it would note be from want of honest inten tions or active exertions. He placed the greatek de pendence on the nobleman who was Lord-Lieutenant of that country, and hoped to effect much good there, notwithstanding the difficulties with which they were surrounded.— (Cheers.) He was there to state man fully his opinions, and to answer any questions that might be put to him.—(Hear.) Three cheers were then given for Sir Thomas Fre mantle, M.P., and the meeting quietly dispersed. TEA. —WHOLESALE PRICES. CASH.— s. d. S. d• N. (1. a. d. a. d . a . d. 8, d.

THE HISTORY or MARGARET CATCUPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL.—We observe that this work, which has been for some time announced for publication, is dedi cated by the Rev. R. Cobbold to the Marchioness Corn wallis who, we understand, is fully acquainted with the circumstances under which the remarkable history of the heroine has been prepared for publication. This ex traordinary female, born of humble, but honest parents, underwent the most singular vicissitudes that perhaps ever marked the career of woman. She was connected with the captain of a band of smugglers that infested the Suffolk coast, at the close of the last century, and com mitted a crime for which she was tried and condemned to death at Bury assizes, in the year 1797—was re prieved, broke out of prison at Ipswich to join her lover, was retaken, sentenced again to death, and her punish ment changed to transportation for life. Retrieving her character in Australia, she distinguished herself in many new adventures, obtained a free pardon, and married a , wealthy settler, who left her sole mistress of an im mense fortune. The Grand Munster National Steeple Chase, an event to whiCh so much interest is attached, vi ill came off on the 15th of April next.

This return of the fai4lity Thor to knock us down with his , icy haminer'his treated much stir and commotion in the magnificent: establishtnent Of Swan and Edgar, who have been gradually, rolling on in slow and solemn grandeur like a,zfughty ocean, until the vast houses in Regent-street, and as-many in Piticadilly, each in itself as big as a bazaar, have been sWallevied up by their encroachments. If ':the gen-maker., round the corner were to follow the 'example of his own double barrels, and "go OE4" this would be the most stupendous shop in the world. .EVery foreigner . is : overwhelmed with astonishment and admiration atthe florid concep ttgrhheeacbpeeufyuoilnppglerowfuhasiviceohnnu—k:eeswpsaivl.k;hkoa tion and elaborate execution ..of the lying.

We generally_ find.- that- every establishment which his); the good fortune: to attain celebrity, monopolises the. market for .some .particular article, but here we find umbrellas, shirts, neckcloths, and other items of male_attire-in equal excellence and profusion, with silk; muslin; or cambrics. On leaving Swan and Edgar's, and' driving rip - Piccadilly, the, eye is at once attracted by the sumptuousness and elegance of the various nicnacs which-are plat; it in the windows of Barry's " temptation shop'..l 7 -the..Egyptian-hall. What crowds of passers by and lotinging idlers may be seen gazing listlessly upon the articles of pia to and beautiful novelties of Barry. But, if Yon..ventare in take,Shak spere's advice, and " put money in thy purse," for there is enough within this fairy. domain , to, shake the saint- Alp of an aechorite, or tempt a miser to loose his purse strings. Barry always contrives to outstrip his rivals in the race for novelties. Something new is always to be retied in his shop. His bijou de jamille is his last in vention. This is a screen of rich crimson velvet, en circled by a gilded frame, standing on a-pedestal-of the same costly material; to several rows. - of hooks are sus- - pended tiny frames for minatures; so that a whole gallery of family portraits may be enshrined in the narrow compass of the glass shade which shelters this elegant and graceful fabric, lest the dust, or, what is still worse, aukward servants shall visit it too roughly. Several buhl desks, some- superb papier de luxe, satchels for scenting, stamps for marking linen, and a novel kind of fan, which possesses the power of a peacock, and spreads itself suddenly into a circle, resembling the tail of that bird, are amongst the most.recent additions to be found there. Notwithstanding all the late new•fangled inventions wh . cf., under the name of improvements, tried to destroy . the " power of sound," we find that Broadwood still re tains, undiminished, the immense reputation which he has so long and so deserved)), enjoyed—his.kianos are to be heard in every corner of the world, their fame is not confined within the narrow limits of an Euro pean celebrity, for scarcely a ship now , leaves the Thames without bearing three or four of these instrumental° our far-distant Indian possessions. In society, now-a-days, the congregated men look like a backgammon board. Black waistcoats and white are only to be seen, and yet near the Quadrant, at Nicoll's, the famous tailor of Regent-street, there are costly stuffs for waistcoats, which are as eblouissant as the Bad e li g h t opposite to the United Service Club-house. Some of these stuffs are positively startling in their magnificence —none of those vulgar waistcoats which are to be fond in the Palais Royal, for the endintanches epiciers to sport at the Prefect's balls in the provinces, but real splendour, chastened by the most exquisite taste and subdued by the careful blending of colours, so as to attract attention without offending th e e y e l;) , over display. Some of the materials are curiously rich, with the precious metal worked into the fabric, whilst there are others more simple, in immense variety. A robe de chambi e, which they have just completed for an illastriOus personage, realises our dreams of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Besides all this, there are rich Oriental shawls and cashmeres for morning waistcoats, and velvets in suck variety as would lead us to suppose that the Lyons and Spitalfields manufacturers would speedily exhaust' their ingenuity. 4111 , PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS, The proposed line (which has long been projected, and is now brought forward on the rejection of the London and Norwich Direct line by the .Board of Trade), is intended to form a connecting link between the Norwich and Brandon railway at Thetfoni, and the Eastern Counties line, at or near Hatfield (about four miles from Chelmsford), whence it will be continued to the town and port of Malden, ti,cennnotlating in its course the important and populous towns of Bury St. Edmunds, Larenham, Long Meltbrd, Sudbury, Halsted, Hocking, Braintree, and Ntahlon, and forming at once the most direct and economical line to Norwich, and opening a communi cation between the fertile agricultural interior of Essex and the Sea. Reference to the map of the district through which the lin.~ passes at once suggests that the communication between Norwich and the Iletropolis should follow the old coach route through the populous towns which that traffic has contributed to - fester, and it can hardly be imagined that existing interests will be permitted to be entirely sacrificed by its diversion into other channels. In this point of view, therefore, this line may be considered of vital importance to the varlow towns near which it passes, but to the public at large it also offers considerable inducements as a means of invegtMent. " ' This line will secure both the traffic between the interior of Essex id the port of Maldon, and between that town and the Denjie llun red, and Chelmsford and London—the distance between those places being less than by the old coach road. the towns of Bucking, Braintree, and lialsteati, are all con nected with he silk trade, and the intercourse existing between them and the port of Maldon is even now very extensive. To these places the Maldon branch (which is an integral part of the present scheme) is of great moment, as it will re• duce the price of carriage from about Ss. 6d. to 2s. per ton, thus giving a stimulus to trade, and materially augmenting the imports of coal, coke, iron, oil-cake, tar, slates, and other general mer chandise; and the exports of corn, flour, wool, and other agricultural produce, while the distance to London will be only lengthened about half a mile. The borough of Sudbury is also connected with the silk and hunting manufacture, but Is supplied with heavy goods by the Stour navigation, to which this line will prove an important feeder. Every line hitherto proposed crosses the valley of the Stour below . _ Ballthgdon-bridge to the east of the town, by a long and expensive viaduct, thereby entailing a heavy outlay, and risking an opposition from the navigation, and the great probability of penning back the floods on to the town of Ballingdon. The present line (with a sta tion at North-street), crosses the , valley to the west of the town, at the narrowest point, on a short timber viaduct, avoiding all possi bility 'of a - collislon with the navigation (Which does not extend above bridge), and saving a serious expenditure, and all danger (rota the floods. The towns of Long Melford and ,Lavenham are engaged in the horse-hair manufacture, and in woolstapling, &c., and would enjoy the benefit of a quick communication both with Norwich and Lon don, find a cheap supply of coal and other heavy goods from the river St..ur.• • To the town of Bury this line affords at once the most direct commu nication w.th Norwich and London, and with the port of Lynn, with which. it already maintains a considerable intercourse ; and it will also pieve, the shortest route from . Yarmouth and Norwich to the metropolis, thereby securing a large portion, of that traalc in con nexion With the Norwich and Branded Railway. • Instead of - passing through a thinly inhabited district, as is the case with• the London and Norwich direct line, this Railway will accommodate .a population of upwards of 150,000 souls, seven market towns, and three boroughs,, returning each two Members lo Parliament. The intermediate traffic, therefore, particularly on market-days, will be very considerable, and will form a consi derable source of emolument, not possessed by any other line to Norwich. • '• • • _ _ • • Independently of passengers, a considerable income will be de rived,.not .only from silk and other manufactured goods, but from the vast quantities of corn, flour, wool, malt, &c., beasts, sheep, and pigs, dead meat and poultry, which_are annually sent from the entire district ; and from East : Norfolk, to the London markets: • The-promoters have carefully revised the traffic estimates, and the following Summary of actual Existing Traffic may be relied upon : „Coach traffic, including passengers by coach to Lon , don direct, coach parcels, passengers; by gigs, &q., and 'intermediate between the stations, horses and carriages, and conveyance of malls •• • • ..... ••• • • £48,766 3 10 'Goods traffic, including coals between Afaldon and Braintree, and Malden and Halstead, manufactured goods, groceries and shop goods, corn, Spur, malt, wool, &c., cattle, beasts, carcases, poultry, 84c• •• • 35,719 1 11 Total traffic .• • • ••• Deduct 40 i er cent. for maintenance or way, working power, management,• and other • expenses .• ••• • .

The line does not interfere with any ornamental property; there are no engineering difficulties, a•.d _the gradients arc remarkably good; and the total cost, including stations, Sec., is not expected to exceed 13,0007. a mile, leaving a considerable balance for Engines and Stock, Parliamentary and incidental expenses. Its claims to public support, therefore, rest as much upon its intrinsic merits, as on the recognised principle of protection to vested interests—while, so • far from being inimical to the lines .t Joins, it must act as an impor tant feeder -to the Eastern.Countles Railway, and will b. the means of preventing a diversion of the greater part of the Norwich and Brandon traffic to the Eastern Union llne. • No Subscriber liable beyond th amount of his subscription.

" Mr. HALSE, late of this county, but now of 5, Pelham crescent, Brompton, London, has lately published a pamphlet on MEDICAL GALVANISM, the contents of which have really asto- nished us. If it be true that galvanism can accomplish such cares 04 are there stated, the galvanic apparatus must take as commanding a position over medical science as the steam-engine does over mecha nical science. It is true that galvanism has long been resorted to as a remedial agent, but the old form of batteries were so uncertain M in their action I 1 to almost do as much harm as they did good. r. liaise, like a true philoaopher, conceived that it may be possible to select the good and discard the evil effects of the apparatus, and after years of intense study he has accompllshed *hat he desired—viz., to regulate the power of the galvanic apparatus to the greatest nicety. We consider this to rank as the greatest Improvement which has ever been made In the galvanic battery. In the }amphlet we noticed an extract from the ` Shipping And Mercantile Gazette' of March 14. We extract this article for the benefit of invalids Our readers may have noticed several extracts we have given from Mr. Halse's pamphlet on Medical Galvanism. We have reason to believe that every case stated in that pamphlet is perfectly true, wonderful as they cert inly are; for, a short time since, we called on Mr. liaise, and were introduced to him by a gentleman who was undergoing the Operation. The patient informed us that it was not at all an unplea -840 estisat ion, indeed we felt it ourselves, and there was not ti and least unpleasaattesa lbeut it.

At home every day till Three, and from Five till Light SAVINGS BANKS. It is no idle assertion, that Savings Banks have been unfairly and unjustly dealt with. The fact, that depositors are now suffering by the reduction of in terest allowed them, fbr the grasping and unprincipled rapacity of a former Government, is obvious to all. The fact, too, that the present Ministry, instead of amending, are profiting by the evil deeds of their predecessors, in regard to savings banks, is no leas disgra-ceful than true. The rate of interest allowed to the humble but extensive class of savings -bank depositors, should, one wculd naturally suppose, be raised instead of depressed. All who have the good of these institutions at heart think so, and all were struck with surprise and sorrow when the announced reduction fell like a thunderbolt among them. They naturally calculated that, if the Government were to restore what it had unfairly taken fr. m them, there would have been no necessity for a change, at least for such a fearful change as the present one. The act of Vander, they thought, was disgraceful enough, but when they were coolly told, besides, that the usual interest must be diminished, although the proceeds of this plunder would have been amply suf ficient to continue the previous rate on its old footing, the whole appeared a deed of so monstrous a nature, that no words can be found sufficiently forcible to express their indignation and abhorrence. We hope that Ministers, then, will not overlook the present state of savings banks. Their late measure has done more to render these institutions valueless than all the evil inducements that have ever stepped in between the poor man and a habit of saving. We do not wish ourselves to be righted at the expense of others—we wish every one to have his own; but we cannot tamelysit down and see the claims of every other branch of Briziah in dustry attended to, and those of savings banks, which are of at least !equal importance, passed unheeded by. As the representatives of 900,000 of our fellow. subjects, we call upon the Ministry for justice (favour we want none) to those who, as it has been shown in former numbers, are politically and morally the firmest safeguards of this country. That a thorough exami nation into the minute details connected with the whole system of savings banks is necessary to restore them to a working state, and that such an examination must be a work of magnitude and toil, are facts equally certain. It is, however, no less certain that an act of injustice, when pointed out, should be remedied as soon as pos.. and that as long as the Act complained of re mains unremedied, so long will we continue our utmost exertions to bring it before the notice of thoF, in Nh ole hands alone the remedy is placed.—SaviNgs Banks Circular. - - THE LACE TRADE.—The 'date of trade; in Not tingham appears to be quite as healthy as can be rea sonably expected at this season. • That goods of so delicate a kind and variety in .taste, and adapted, too, for various Countries 'and seasons, such as lace is, should find at this time a fair demand, must be encouraging. The obvious feature which may give confidence to the staple manufacturers of the town is, that there can be no fear of thread or cotton coming down in price ost the contrary, we have reason to believe that it will ad vance a little, rather than otherwise, during the year. In the quilling and plain net trade there can be no doubt or apprehension whatever as to the price being maintained ; and as respects fancy good., so much de pends upon the taste and judgment of the producers, that for the most part they must depend upon them selves, as they have to devise and bring out that which wi I suit the fancy of those whose judgment may be more exquisite than their own, to do which requires a strict attention to the cultivation of a chasta and elegant de sign, which will have in its effect not only individual but collective advantages. Any one making fancy lace will certainly promote his own interest by as much as possible not copying or imitating others in design: the more distinct and numerous the designs, the more extensive and beneficial, we augur, will be the consump tion ; and those who may be making an old pattern, that is now hanging heavy in the market, and even if it could be sold, little profit, yet it would bevenbette would bear r,justatth very istim when the Germa n an d other markets are closed to us to continue in that, rath er than hazard a change which may not be better, a n d which j expensive.--Nottingham Review. e GATE, CLERKENWELL.—This may oll N be,B I brated ecclesiastical remain, the only one of the kind i n the Metropolis, is threatened with destruction, under the provisions of the new Building Act, complaints having b een made to the overseers of the parish that it is i n a state of insecurity, threatening the safety beer -shop, has been b:e of passengers.

THE PARKS.—OH the Serpentine river, Hyde Park, the only persons who ventured on the ice were a few boys who got on front the south shore, but were immediately driven off by the Royal Humane Society's icemen. The ice is still too weak to bear any number of persons, and is now most dangerous from the weaker parts being hidden by the snow. On the Long Water in Kensington-gardens, owing to the extreme inclemency of the weather, there were not, during the day, above 100 skaters, the larger portion of whom were members of the Skating Club. On the Round Pend there were not more than 300 persons.

HARBOURS OF REFUGE There can be only two questions as to the recommen dations of the Harbours of Refuge Committee, first, whether Dover should have been chosen at all, and, se condly, whether, supposing only one work can be under taken at a time, the order of preference is judiciously settled, first in favour of Dover, next of Pcrtland,:and thirdly, of Seaford, by Beachy Head. Of ell the plans, that of Dover is of the most doubt ful success, and the most costly. The estimated expense is 2,500,000!, into ,sOO, the ooo/ sea . The which will be, we apprehend, literally flung The Surveyor protests against the recommendation, and contends that Dungeness would be a better choice in evely respect ; and we think he is right. Dungeness is nearly twenty miles to the south-west of Dover, but with ,a steam navy it w ou ld C omman d the straits almo s t as effectually as Dover, and it has income parably superior , capabilities for a harbour. Next as to the order of preference. Why is Portland placed before Seaford ? Portland is an excellent shelter as it is. It is protected from all winds but the S.E., and even in - a south-easter vessels can ride out a gale as they ride in Portland -roads up hill, and are, therefore, not likely to drag their anchors. But between the Isle of Wight and Dungeness there is no shelter. The harbours are all small tide harbours, w w i h vn i ( c ie h isseae w l snhnetonhtattbh;:a-8 have efreebifor refuge in on- s h ore ,ye wantedat attempted . d own hannel to the :Owen', perhaps nearly to the Isle of Wight, and that making bad weather, are then obliged to bear up and run, Imre to put back to Dungeness at the least, losing all The ground they had ga i ne d. S o t h e other way,'vessels' that have beat up Channel almost to Dungeness, and then encountering bad weather are compelled to seek shelter, have to run back all the way to the Isle of Wight. To recover the distance so lost will take ships of ordinary sailing qualities, with contrary winds, several days. Seaford would save a considerable part of this loss, it being about thirty miles from Dungeness, and about sixty from the Isle of Wight. For the coasting trade a harbour of refuge at that point would be of the greatest convenience. At present there is no other such distance in the Channel, thirty league., without some Place of shelter. A dozen leagues from the Land's End is the fi ne shelr,er of Falmouth ; about the same distance from Falmouth is Plymouth ; about seven leagues from Ply mouth, Dartmouth ; anti about fourteen leagues from Dartmouth, Portland ; six leagues from it the shelter of Swanwich, and a little farther Studland bay ; and fire leagues from them, the Isle of Wight. But from the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth to the next place of shelter, Dungeness, is the long distance of thirty leagues. To break this dreary interval is surely a matter of urgent importance. The capabilities of Portland for a harbour are match less—it is all but a laßbour by nature, shut in on three sides.; but as it already affords such good shelter, it is of less importance to complete its security than to pro vide shelter where it is at present so much more defec tive and so much more wanting. If; therefore, all the plans cannot be commenced at once, and we confess we see no reason why they should not, Seaford has a claim before Portland. All the harbours of refuge proposed, Harwich, Dover, Seaford. and Portland, are also to serve us naval stations, defending the sea-board, and commanding the Channel. It is a happy thing for England that she can thus make her outworks of defence more available still for humanity and the convenience and security of her na vigation, instead, like our neighbours, of having bul warks sterile of other uses than those of war, and actual detriments and nuisances in peace. The fortifications of London will be in the Channel, our moat ; and the same works that provide protection in the event of war, will be serving the daily interests of our merchant navy and commerce, and diminishing the toil and dangersof our seamen. These, indeed, are works, the cost of which cannot be grudged.—Examiner. SPORTS AND AMUSEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE. The sports of a people are so closely interwoven with the national character, that whatever change is experienced by either affects the other. The history of our own country will fully illustrate this assertion, for we have broken up the national holidays and ath letie pastimes of our forefathers till in some counties of " Merry England," both are utterly unknown. We have in a great measure, by these means, changed for the sturdy independent yeoman and contented labourer, a servile and dogged race; whilst a sickening mawkish ness and effeminacy, utterly foreign to the English cha racter, has followed the amusements we have intro duced instead of those which have passed away. But we have calculated and economised too long, for we have at last found that the greatest amount of labour at the lowest possible cost is, after all, the dearest— that " all work and no play" cannot last ; and, though custom has broken the observance of those holidays which our Church and our laws have appointed, we have at last awoke to the truth, that such things are necessary to the moral as well as the physical condi tion of the country. There is still the feeling and the taste for these things, especially in rural districts; and they want but the propsr encouragement and facilities, again to bring about our old English games. If we neglect this, and allow the growth of such weeds as the amusements which the metropolis, and which all large towns, more or less, afford, a filthy and illegitimate taste and feeling will usurp the place of the honest and healthy tone it is our interest to I.ultis te. Whilst the rural poor—by the covet ousness of their employers and their own necessities debarred from the means of enjoyment to which they, as all other men, are entitled—will sink to that wretched, sullen, and degraded state which is the root of half the crimes that terrify the world. Amongst the sports and pastimes of our forefathers are some which the advancement of civilisation and humanity would suppress; but there are few even .of those whose effects would be so pernicious as the ludicrous contortions of a Surrey ballet, and the clap trap music of a promenade concert—two fair samples of what the amusements of the lower orders now are. It is objected to such of our old English sports as now exist, that they have become the exclusive amusements of the lowest of the community—that they are inseparable from pot-houses and a certain slang and coarseness which would exclude them from all respectability. The game of " shovel board," or, as it was afterwards :called, " shove halfpenny," may be remembered by some of our readers as a very " vulgar game," played only in " low" public-houses; this, however, was once a courtly game. We simply quote this instance, which occurs to memory as an illustration, and will serve for the rest, without going into any antiquarian detail. Driven from !be upper classes by a certain cant refinement, which has accompanied the pro gress of every age, and upheld only by the fre quenters of beer-shops, where alone now exist the means of playing them, the sports of the rich have become the exclusive property of the poor, and the worst kind of poor—the idle and the profligate— whilst they naturally inherit the patois or slang of their masters. The few of the higher orders who still uphold them seem to pride themselves on their conventionalism ; and, with a sort of innate propensity for that, which is coarse and low, they do not hesitate to frequent the vile places in which these things are to be found. The only chronicle, also, which exists of car games, unfortunately carries out the same idea ; and, al though conducted with a praiseworthy spirit and in telligence, panders too much to the tastes of those to whom it is addressed. The true, friend of th e p eop l e , and of th e i r s p or t s , wou ld see them divested of their vulgarity and villanies, and so recorded that they should net offend the nicest ear; for it is a false notion that even boxing, the most questionable of all, is inseparable from blaekguardism and ruffianism.
