THE MARSHLAND INUNDATION.

KING'S LYNN, FRIDAY.

The latest endeavours to exclude the sea-water
from the Marshland Fen drain by raising the banks from the
ruined sluice to the earth dam 400 yard' above, have been
so successfol that yesterday :evening's and this morning's
tides made no impreesion upon those obstacles. As the
tides are now decidedly lessening, the country is relieved
from its anxiety for the present moment, and has breathing
time to consider what is beat to be done for preventing a
renewal of the calamity by works of a permanent character.
The inundated district, however, especially in Marshland
Fen, still presents a most desolate appearanoe, and in pass
dog along the Wisbech Railway one see, the water extend-
ing on both sides as far as the eye can reach. This will, of
course, continue to be the ewe until time and nisei,* are at
command to run off the water from the surface of at least
4,000 we. of flooded land. Mr. W. D. Harding, C.E., who
in the crisis just past his been the engineer noting for the
Marshland, Smeeth and Fen commissioners, and to whom
their success is greatly due, has confident expectation of de•
rising an outlet for the drainage which shall have all,the
efficiency of sluices is cues where navigation is not con-
cerned, without the danger and expense that constantly at-
tend those structures.

KING'S COLLEGE. - DEPARTMENT OP THE
EVENING GRASSES.

-
Last night the course of instruction for the
arching classes of king's College was opened by an inaugu-
ral lecture from Mr. Bloxam, professor of the Elements of
Chemistry. There was a very numerous attendance of
students and their friends on the occasion, the lecture room
being well filled. The department of the Evening Classes
was opened is the year 1955, principally to meet the wants
of that class of persons, very numerous in large towns,
whose studies were interrupted at an early age for the put •
pose of engaging in industrial pursuits, and who de-
sired to have the opportunity of devoting their
spare hours le the evening to the pursuit of
het knowledge from which they had been taken
away when boys. However, although chiefly design: d
for this class of persons, all who come to seek for instruc-
tion are cheerfully received. That the advantage of thus
opening wide the portals of knowledge has been duly ap•
predated may be gathered from the fact that the number of
students, which was only 212 in 1955, amounted to 618 dur-
ing the last winter session. This result must be highly
gratifying to the promoters of this new application of the
capacities of the college. The education given is not only
cheap, but it is the beet in quality, se shown by the
fact that at the last competitive examination two
of the pupils obtained appointments in the Indian
civil service. The range of subjects taught em-
braces divinity, Latin. Greek, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Dutch, English language and composition, Anglo-
boson, history of England, geography, arithmetic and book-
keeping, writing. mathematics, principles of commerce and
commercial law, drawing, elements of chemistry, mechanics,
physiology, botany, experimental physics, and ecology.
I3ut wide as is this field of knowledge, the collegeisprepared,
as stated by Dr. Jell last night, to extend it still further
when requited by the wants of society. The comparative
degree of imoortaeos attached to these various branches of
study may he estimated by the number of students Weeding
each. Thus, with regard to the study of !misuses, during
the last winter there were 206 young men in the French,
121 in the Latin. 109 in the English. 98 in the Greek,
23 in the Italian, 16 in the **lsiah, and 4 in
the Dutch class. The lecturer briefly referred to most
of the subjects included in the syllabus, and
showed bow, from a merely material point of view, their
cultivation was highly advantageous. But he strongly in-
culcated on his hearers that knowledge was to be unduly
pursued for its own sake, and recommended the students
rather to restrict themselves in the choico of subjects, as a
few breeches of knowledge thoroughly as were of
more advantage than a wider circle only superficially culti-
vated. The lecture was in every respect an admirable —judicious advice and wise reflection being administered with
a mixture of gentle satire and playful allusion to paring
events which was very much relished. At the coeclusiou
of the lecture Mr. Bloxam was warmly applauded ; and
Dr. Jell, the principal of the college, said that, in virtue of
his authority, be should insist on having the lecture printed,
which announcement was received with loud cheers.

FATAL. PIT ACCIDENT.—One of the most shock-
ing accidents it has ever been our duty to record occurred
on Wednesday morning last. The facts are briefly as
follow :--Meshack Briscoe, aged 53, and Samuel Meath.
aged 91, had been at work as usual in the "Iron Jack"
stone-pit, belonging to Messrs. Matthews and Bold, Corbyus
Hall. Kingswieford, and they were beins, wound rip at
about three in the morning. When they got to within about
three yards of the top of the shaft the rope broke, and the
poor fellows were precipitated to the bottom of the pit. a
distance of 180 yards. They were literally dashed to piece's,
and death must of course hove been instantareoue. Their
mangled bodies were conveyed to the respective homes of
their relatives, where they now lie awaiting au inquest.
They were both married men, sod they leave wive. and
families, who it need hardly be said are overwhelmed with
grief at the dreadful calamity which has corn upon them.
We have not been able to ascertain how far the rope, which
vve understand was a wire ona. was deemed sufficiently
strong for its purpose, but it had been in use for some time,
and no danger sou apprehended. The Inquest will be
opened this day.—Birisiitsghasi Daily Post.
