A Naw CHURCIL—The old and curious church at
Tarrant Keynston, near Blandford, Dorset, which afforded
insufficient accommodation fur the inhabitants, has been
taken down, with the exception of the tower, and in its
stead a substantial and more commodious building has been
erected, through the liberality of Sir J. J. Smith and
others. The new building will shortly be ready for con-
secration.

THE SOUTIIDOWN Fox HOUNDS.—On Tuesday a
meeting was held at the White Hart, Lewes, of the gentle-
men who support these hounds, when a series of resolu-
tions were passed—amongst others, " that the finance com-
mittee pledge themselves to provide a fund amounting to
7001. towards the cost of keeping up the rack." The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed a committee for Brighton
and neighbourhood ; and were deputed to collect subscrip-
tions :—George Ballard, Esq., Henry Bethune, Esq., T.
Nash, Esq., 1. Bowen May, Esq., and Mr. Thomas Poole.
We trust the exertions of the above-named gentlemen will
be rewarded with success ; ter we learn that the master
(Mt. Thomas) has agreed to bunt the Brighton country
this season ; and there is no doubt that such an addition to
our already attractive town will be of the greatest advan-
tage.—Brighton Guardian.
REFORMS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERT.—Ara
act of parliamentwas passed in the latest session for the fur-
ther relief of the suitors of the Court of Chancery. It
seems that large sums are standing in the name of the
Accountant General, and for a number of years no claim
has been made to the dividends. It is, therefore, enacted
that the dividends, by order of the Lord Chancellor, on in-
vestigation, where it shall appear that no claim had been
made for 15 years, shall be transferred to the Suitors' Fee
Fund Account. Similar investigations as to the accounts,
are to be made every five years, and the fees of the court
in consequence of the property may be altered, diminished
or abolished. It will be de'ignated " The suitors' unclaimed
dividend accounts." Station duties, on the receipt of small
sums, from the office of the Accountant General, are by
this act considerably reduced. There are other provisions
in the act for the regulation of the officers of the court.
THE HIGHEST BRIDGE IN BRlTAlN.—Vigorous
preparations are being made for commencing the new line
of railway from the Motherwell junction of the Caledonian
Railway to Lesmahagow. The bridge over the Nathan will
be the loftiest in Britain, considerably exceeding that of the
high level bridge at Newcastle. The latter is 112 feet above
high water mark, but the bridge ever the Nathan is to be
140 feet high.
GREAT WESTERN AND NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE
RAILWAY.—An alliance between these companies has been
suggested similar to the alliance between the Great Western
and Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Chester Railways,
and to project a junction line either from Wednesbury or
Bilaton through Cannock Chase to Colwich, fifteen miles,
with a line of five miles to the Warrington and Altrincham
and Manchester, so ar to give the Great Western Railway
an entrance to the north.
