MISCELLANEOUS.

RAILWAY CALL4.----It it a call for which we are
always expecting some return, but rarely get it.
Sir E. B. Lytton is said to be engaged on a five-act
drama fur
Mr. Phelps, to be brought out at Sadler's
Wells.

THE GRANDEST WORK or FlCTlON.—Ferdinand
de Lesseps : Aright I venture, Sir, to inquire what.are-
.you
think of the " Mysteries of Paris ?"—Cockney Share_
of : Oh, my boy, they're nothing to the "Isthmus
of Sue's."
THE SUPPORT OF ITALY.—Tile ItaliallS, desirous of
having but one Italy, keep shouting " Una! Una !"
If Italy is alluded to as the Una, the Garibaldi must be
the faithful Lion that is to carry Una through, and
protect her from all danger.
A proposition made at Naples by Father Gaeazzi, to
knock off the heads of the two colossal equestrian
statues of Charles 111. and Ferdinand, and place on
them likenesses of Garibaldi and of King 'Victor Em-
manuel, has not been acceded to, consequently Canova's
works remain uninjured.
THE KING OF PUMPKINS.--What the market people.
call the "promenade of the King of Pumpkins," that is,.
the parading of the largest pumpkin of the season, took
place in Paris yesterday. The king this year weighs
315i1b5., and measures loft. 2in. in circumference at
the widest part. It was put up to auction, and knocked
down for the sum of 128E—Ga/ignani.
AN INVARIABLE RULE.—When -an M.P., at an
agricultural dinner, or a cutlers' feast, or
.a county
gathering, or an archery meeting, tells you that he is
not going to intrude politics, because politics by the
rake of the society are excluded, you may be sire that
he is on the point of introducing them, and that he will
do so the very next minute; and, furthermore, that be
will talk of nothing else but politics during the remain-
der of his speech. .
COAL PIT EXPLOSION.—An explosion of fire damp
occurred, on Monday night, in one of the Marchioness
of Londonderry's collieries at Seaham, known as the
"Nick-nack " pit. Two men were firing a "shot,"
when a small " bag " of gas ignited, and they were both
killed. Forty men were at work in various parts of the
pit, but the explosion was confined to the spot in which
it ignited. The pit is worked with safety lamps, owing
(
to the known tendency of the seam to emit gas; but
none had been met with previously in that part of the
workings. One of the unfortunate deceased has left $
wife and five children unprovided for.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A NEWSPAPER
EDITOR.—It is with sincere regret that we have to
record the -death of Mr. Henry White, who, for over
12 years, has officiated as editor and general overseer in
the 'office of the Eastern Counties _Herald, at Hull. Mr.
White had been engaged at the office in the morning,
and went to dinner at the usual hour, not having com-
plained of any ailment, and he was returning to the
office after dinner, when a short distance from his own
house he fell and expired immediately. Mr. White's
father is proprietor of the Dancaster Chronicle, and his.
son, Mr. Henry White, was a gentleman of considerable
literary ability, and was highly esteemed by a large.
circle of friends.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL-
WAY.—On Wednesday morning a shocking accident
occurred at the Doncaster station of the Great Northern
Railway, to a man named Foster, a foreman of fitters
employed at the company's pla.nt works, near to the
station. He had just been superintending his men, and
was standing apparently absorbed in thought upon' the
down line, when the No. 6 goods train from London
approached. Before anyone could go to his assistance,
or the engine be drawn up, the poor fellow was struck
and hurled upon the line, with his legs upon the metals.
The wheels of the engine passed over both legs, and cat
them off below the knee. He sustained other injuries,
principally about the head ; and death ensued from the
injury to the legs, and from concussiAi of the brain, in
about a quarter of an honr-after.
THE QUEEN'S AttarvAL AT ALITWERP.--aing Leopold,
accompanied by the. Royal family., arrived on Monday
morning,, at seven at the railway station of
Antwerp, where the were received by the civil and
military
nauthorit;,es. The Royal
party immediately •
proceeded. on l',-trard the English Royal yacht to welcome
Queen Pico
on her arrival. Half an hour after, , the '
two sevf,:xtigns, the princes, princesses, and their suites,
landc:;.: amidst a large crowd. The royal party imme-
;tately proceeded to the railway station, and soon 'after
started towards Germany. At Verviers, King Leopold .
and the Royal family of Belgium parted from their
illustrious relatives and returned to Brussels. Lord
Howard de Walden, the English Minister at the Belgian
Court, also went to Antwerp to receive his Sovereign,
and accompanied her as far as Verviers.
PROGRESS OF NEW YORIL—The prediction recorded
by a mathematical genius in the year 1805 has received
in the returns of the national census a remarkable
verification. Fifty-five years ago New York contained
75,700 inhabitants, which this curious individual pre-
dicted would he increased to 882,062 in 1860. This
estimate was published in Valentine's " Manual of the
Common Council," of that date. Another calculator,
taking the ratio of increase since 1805 as a basis, finds
that in 1900 the city of New York will contain
5,257,493 inhabitants, being at least two millions more
than the present population of this metropolis. Should
London, however, continue to increase during the re-
mainder of the century at the same rate as during the
last forty years, her population will then considerably
exceed that anticipated for New York.--London Ameri-
can.

THE SALMON FISHERIES Or ENGLAND AND WALES. '
—The royal commissioners appointed to inquire into
the salmon fisheries have visited Gloucester, Monmouth,
and Hereford. The witnesses are pretty unanimous in
the following sungestions :—A uniform time to commence
salmon fishing to be the Ist of March, and for fishing to
end the Ist of September; a month later in the autumn
to be allowed for rod fishing. The last spring not to
be taken in the spring of the year under any pretence
whatever, whilst migrating to the sea. After the Ist
July, and to the Ist September, the last-spring or scur-
ling not, migrating to the sea may be taken with the rod
only ; but this bade fair to occasion discussion, which
the commissioners put an end to. None but the salmon
net to 'be used. That public conservators should be
appointed. That an annual tax should be put upon all
fisheries, nets, and engines for taking fish. No fishing
to be allowed between six p.m. on Saturday night and
six a.m. on the following Monday morning, &c.
SPORTIYO TOURS IN BRITISH AMERlOA.—LiCerliie3
are granted which remain in force for one year ; and
although we are not certain whether the amateur
fisherman would be obliged to take one, and we rather
think not, there is not the least doubt that he
would be able to obtain plenty of sport, whilst for gran-
deur of scenery, climate, shooting, &c., Canada pre-
sents attractions far superior to Norway, or other
favourite resorts of Europe. It is astonishing to find
how British America has been neglected; but we have
no doubt but that soon it will become the grand haunt
of the sporting tourist. Hhe is fond of hunting he will
find plenty of game in their season—pigeon, woodcock,
partridge, snipe, wild geese, and ducks, with a variety
of other specimens of the feathered tribe, also deer and
carriboo in winter. There are no game-laws to obstruct
his movements. If he is fond of fishing, there is any
quantity of small fish everywhere, and an abundance of
trout and salmon. The provinces are irrigated with
rivers and streams, and they swarm with fish. Those
on the north are the resort of persons every year, who
generally engage in fishing as a means of sustenance,
and also of those who recognise it as a great amuse-
ment.—Canadian News.

THE LEEDS ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—We have
already published the particulars of the elopement of an
engineer, named Thomas Bamforth, with a Mrs. Barker,
of Leeds, and the robbery of numerous articles of wear-
ing apparel, a gold watch. and upwards of £lOO in
money from the woman's husband, who is a grocer,
residing in Pottery Field, Hunslet, Leeds. On Wednes-
day, at the Hull Police Court, some further disclosures
were made. Benjamin Bamforth, brother of Thomas
Bamforth; was brought up for having 15 £5 Bank of
England notes and £l4 in gold in his possession, know-
the same to have been stolen. On Tuesday night, the
prisoner was drinking in a public-house in West-street,
Hull, and was displaying numerous £5 notes to the
company. One of the persons thinking that the priso-
ner had not come honestly by this large sum of money,
sent for a police constable. As_ soon as the constable
arrived, the prisoner ran out of the dram-shop, but was
speedily captured. While the constable was conveying
him to the station-house, he made an attempt to get
some of the notes into his mouth, and one note he
succeeded in partly destroying. When told the charge
against him, he admitted that, on Wednesday morning,
his brother had told him where the money was, and he
had secured it for the purpose of keeping his brother's
wife and family until the affair was over.—The prisoner
was remanded.

CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURASLI.
—.‘ I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehouud
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill, Liverpool,) will prove of snore value, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough en a few minutes;
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's)
Materiel Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan-
der Tralles ancl•Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjuac-
- tkm-with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., .

dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound
and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Coe-
