Tug Firrii or NOVEMBER. This anniver-
sary was better observed yesterday than it has been for
many years past, and those who have long sighed at the
decay of our old customs had some cause to congratulate
themselves on the revivification of this. The gunpowder
plot appeared to have been well remembered in all parts of
London, and there was no lack of Guys to divert the young
by day and feed the evening fire. The artists entrusted
with the construction of the effigies appetred to have re-
veiled in the wildest imaginative freedom in choosing their
originals. While many had wrought out rudely the sem-
blance of a pope, others took Cardinal Wiseman as a model.
Some, carried away by the enthusiasm of the hour, dressed
up the young Emperor of Austria, who was chaired wi'h a
copy of a celebrated morning journal attached to
his coat. Marshal Hayman, with his lash, as if seek-
ing another Madam Madersbach, and Nicholas the
Czar, with his knout, were also seen among these
specimens of our risicg art. To complete the con-
fusion of all characters, a monster Bloomer was paraded,
doubtless in the belief that a greater gay could not be
found than this strange creature. As an appropriate
termination to the eventful day, a grand display of fire-
works took place on the grounds of the Merchant Seamen's
Orphan Asylum, Bow-road, in aid of the funds of the in-
stitution. The grounds were illumicated somewhat after
the fashion adopted at Vauxhall ; and, in order to give full
effect to the entertainment, a band of music was engaged.
The fireworks were upon the most "liberal scale," consist-
ing of every variety of the pyrotechnic art, the rockets
being decidedly in the ascendant. In the rear of the pre-
mises was a gibbet, to which was suspended an effigy of the
Pope, and around it were several barrels of tar, which at
the proper time were consumed in a most formidable blaze,
and his Holiness was soon duly reduced to tinder, much to
the amusement of the spectators. The grounds were
attended by a large concourse of people, and the result of
the exhibition promised to be of considerable benefit to
the charity.
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRtPII IN Paitts.—A group
of 18 wires starts from the telegraph tower at the Hotel of
the Minister of the Interior, follows the Rue de Grenelle,
goes along the Esplanade of the Invalides as far as the
parapet of the Qum d'Orsay, and, following the line of that
parapet goes as tar as the Pont d'Jecia. At that bridge the
group divides into two parts, the one going to the 'Detre&
wall at the Barriers de la Cunette, which it follows as far r
the terminus of the Chartres railway at the Derriere de
Maine and the Orleans terminus. The other part of the
group crosses the Pont d'Jena, ascends the Trocadero to the
°arm wall of the right bank of the Barrier des Bons Hem-
mss, and thence to the Rouen, Northern, Strasburg, and
Lyons railways. As to the new electric telegraph which
crosses the Channel to form a communication between Lon-
don and Paris, the wires are placed underground in a
wrapper of gutta percha and follow the following itinerary:
They leave the Batignolles, follow one of the side alleys of
the outer boulevards to the Barriere de l'Etoile, then down
the Champs Elysies to the Rood Point, then by the Alla
d'Autin to the river, which it crosses under the Pont des
Invalides, and, following the Quai d'Orsay, reaches the
Ministry of the Interior by the Rue de Grenelle. The
wire with its wrapper of gutta percha is only placed about
from 40 to 60 centimetres underground on a bed of sand. It
has been already laid down as far as the Barriere du
Route, and it is expected that it will be completed forth-
with. _ _ _

NEW RULWAT IN THE MANCFACTURING Dts-
Taic-rs.—A company has been formed for making a new
railway between Leeds and Bradford ; and application will
be made in the next session of parliament for powers to con-
struct it. Nearly all the shares will be taken by the promo-
ters, who are wealthy people resident in Leeds, Bradford,
and Halifax. It will be rementberes.l that some months

ago the Court of Queen's Bench issued &mandamus to com-
pel the directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshirr Railway
Company to make a branch line from Bowling, near
Brad-
ford, to Leeds, which would have accommodated a very
large manufacturing population, in the populous towns be-
tween Leeds and Bradford; but the company having taken
no steps la the matter, their powers have now lapsed, and
they cannot make it without having additional powers
granted to them by parliament. The object therefore of
this new company is to make an independent line, which
will reduce the distance between Leeds and Bradford from
13 to about nine miles, and will greatly facilitate the coal
and merchandise traffic between Leeds, Bradford, and
Halifas.

DEATH ON BOARD A DUBLIN STEAMER,—The
coroner for the borough of Liverpool and a jury were en-
gaged on Tuesday in an inquiry touching the death of a
child on board the Dublin and Liverpool screw steamer
Times, on the passage between Dublin and Liverpool on
Thursday last. The mother stated that she was one of the
deck passengers, of whom there were a great many ; that
1 the hold was full of cattle, and that there was no place
, whatever to shelter the passengers. The wind blew hard,
the rain fell heavily, and all on deck were saturated
I with wet from the sea and the rain. Her child got very ill
I and cold from such exposure, and she asked one of the en-
gine men to let her take the infant to the fire, but she was
refused because she could not satisfy the man's demand of a
' sixpence. She was therefore compelled to remain on deck
' all night with the sea continually washing over the vessel.
She wrapped up her infant in her cloak as well as she
could, and on arriving in the Trafalgar Dock she
begged one of the crew to warm the child. The
man took it to the fire but found it dead, it had
been, in fact, smothered on its mother's breast.
The jury, in returning their verdict, made a presentment
that it was a most abominable thing that there was no
shelter in these boats for passengers, particularly fur those
who bad infanta and children, and that the hoes of the
child's life was, in a great measure, owing to the want
of • place where she could have taken her child to
warm it.
