I ZINGARI v. THE GUARDS' CLUB.
This return match was played at the Oval on Saturday,
when there was a tolerable sprinkling of spectators. men,
of them no doubt attracted to the ground by the great retto
tation the Bohemians have acquired for their body. The
detachment of their tribe, however, which entered the field
upon this ow:Mon was not sufficiently powetail to with-
stand tha attacks of the Guards, and therefore they were
vanquished by 19 runs. The final score stood thus:

THE EXETER SYNOD.—ST. LAWRENCP., EXETER.
—At a vestry meeting of this parish, held on Saturday, to
take into consideration the propriety of entering a protest
against the " Synod," the warden in the chair, the follow-
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted : That this
meeting, after an attentive consideration of the proposed
objects of the synod, announced by the bishop of the dio•
cise to be holden on the 25th of June next, deem it a pa-
remount duty of this and all other parishes of the city, to
repudiate and protest against such contemplated assem-
blage as at once disloyal, illegal, and fraught with mischief
to the best interests of the protestant church. 1. Because
it is calculated, all covertly intended, to question the supre-
macy, "in all things civil and ecclesiastical, of our Sove-
reign Lady the Queen ;" the act of convening such PVIIOd,
contrary to her authority, as required by the laws Of this
realm, forming, with other indications, sufficient evidence.
2. Because its scarcely disguised object is to reflect on, and
impugn the solemn decisions of our highest courts of judi-
cature, who have placed the seal of their condemnation on
" the restless energy " of a prelate, who, regardless of pro-
testant principles, and the authoritydue to his ecclesiastical
superior and venerated metropolitan, has dared to promul-
gate views utterly inconsistent with the cherished principles
of our glorious reformation. 3. Inas:math as it regards the
approaching meeting as a contination of that aggressive
policy towards the laity, which, under the name of 'Cracta-
rianism," has of late years made such vigorous, but happily
abortive, attempts to exalt the priesthood above the people,
to whom, according to the langage of holy writ, they are
" ministering servants." The careful exclusion of the laity
front the so-called " synod," and the general disregard, by
tractarian divines, of the feelings of their congregations,
render it incumbent on all to stand fast by the primitive
principles of our reformed faith. For these reasons, we
earnestly protest against this renewed attempt to increase
and perpetuate the unhappy dissensions which have been
so recklessly introduced and fostered by a portion of the
clergy, who, unmindful of the divine command to " preach
peace on earth, and good-will among men," have, by the
obtrusion of obsolete observances, and an undue enforce-
ment of the nonessentials of our creed, produced discord
and confusion where unity should prevail. Resolved also,
That the most cordial thanks of the meeting be given to
our esteemed rector, the Rev. W. lleatham and his rev.
brethren of the diocese who have signed the clerical protest.

ACCIDENTS ON THE NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.
—A serious accident occurred to the down mail train on
Friday evening, near the Dutton viaduct, between Crewe
and Warringtou. The line had been for a few days pre-
viously under repairs' and on that afternoon the plate-
layershad been at work on the spot just before the train
referred to was due. Whether any of the rails were left
out of their places, or improperly secured, cannot as yet be
ascertained, but from some cause or other the engine was
carried off the line, drawing with it from ten to twelve car-
riages in the train, with such a degree of force that tho
further progress of the engine was only finally stopped by
the wheels becoming imbedded in the earth up to their
axles. Most providentially the train had passed the pre-
cipitous embankment. Beyond a few contusions, and a
considerable degree of fright sustained by the passengers,
no great amount of injury has been sustained. A message
was immediately forwarded to the Warrington station,
whence Mr. Norris, the manager, promptly proceeded with
a fresh engine and carriages, and the mails and passengers,
after about three hours delay, were forwarded on to Liver-
, pool. We understand that a rigid investigation will be in-
stituted:by the company into the puss of this casualty,
which, had it occurred but a minute or two sooner, must
have been attended with more awful results than any of
the numerous similar catastrophes that have been of late so
abundant.—Another accident occurred on the same line
to the quarter past 10 o'clock train on Saturday, from
Ruston squase, when on its way northwards, about two
miles beyond Wolverton. From some unexplained cause
the luggage on the top of one of the carriages caught fire,
and the flames spread with great rapidity. In one of
the compartments of the next carriage behind it were
seated Mr. Paxton, Mr. Bass M.P., and Mr. Cochrane, the
superintendent in the building of the Crystal relive,
and Mr. Crampton, the engineer of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company from Dover to Calais. These gentlemen
were on their way to share in the dinner given to Mr.
Fox at Derby, and while chatting pleasantly together were
suddenly startled by hearing shrieks and seeing
flukes of fire drifted across the windows of their
compartment. Mr. Crampton, guessing what was the
matter, and comprehending at once the danger,
opened the door, and leaping from carriage to carriage b
the aid of the footbridge, made his way past that which
was in flames, and was approaching the engine, when he
was observed by the guard and driver, who, as soon as pos-
sible, stopped the tram. In the meantime his companions
had a narrow escape, for the Hamm found their way into
the compartment which he hail left open, and set the clothes
of the inmates on fire in several places. They had the
greatest difficulty in extinguishing the sparks and flakes of
fire that had found their way in, but beyond some singes
and a blister or two no personal injury was suffered. Had
it not been for Mr. Crampton's presence of mind, however,
very melancholy consequences might have resulted. As it
was all the passengers were greatly frightened, and the
luggage of several was destroyed.
MEETINGS OP THE GUARANTEED INTERESTS CON-
NECTED wren THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. SCVCraI
meetings were bald in Glasgow on Friday last, of the
various railway companies which had been guaranteed divi-
dends by the Caledonian Railway Company. The meetings
were held by the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston, the
Wishaw and Colima, the Clydesdale Junction, and the
Glasgow, Garukirk, consideringig Railway Companies,
forte purpose of certain arrangements or
agreements which had been come to by the representatives
of these respective companies, relative to the dividends
guaranteed to be paid by the Caledonian company. The
draft of the agreement was submitted to the shareholders of
each meeting, as also a bill at present before Parliament,
by which it is intended that these conditions or regulations
should be carried into effect. The drafts of the bill as read
wore agreed to, and the several meetings then adjourned
for a month, at which time they would fluidly approve of
the bill, when it would be before the House of Lords. De-
putations were thea appointed to proceed to London, and
urge forward the interests of the bill as approved of.
REJECTION OP THE PROPOSED FROCK-COAT POE
THE INPANTRY.—The United Service Gazette states, " Tbe
hock-coat is not likely at present to be adopted. We hear
that the clothing board have reported unfavourably of its
merits, but upon what distinct ground rumour sayeth uot.
We confess we should like to know the reasons for the re-
jection of what appears to be at mese convenient and hand-
some, for we do not doubt that a few words would suffice
to remove them." (Whfletcorroboratieg our contemporary's
