NORTH NOTTIXOTLAYSIIIR/L—We beFeve there is
no truth in the rumour which ix going the round of the
papers, that Mr. Ituuldsworth is alsnit to vacate his seat us
representative in parliament of North Nottinghamshire.—
, NottingAunt Journal.
REPREt,ENTATION or NOTTINOHAIIIIIITRE.—The
writ authori,ing the election of a successor to the late Robt.
Bromley, Esq., in the representation of South Nutting-
hamsbirc, was received in Nottingham on Friday morning,
and proclaimed on Saturday in Newark, where the nomina-
tion is fixed to take place on Tuesday week, the Ilth inst.
The poll will be taken on the Friday and Saturday after-
wards. The official declaration will be made, it is
anticipated, at the place of nomination on the 18th instant.
MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL—The treasurers of this
excellent charity have been informed of a very seasonable
addition to their funds by a munificent legacy of 1,0001.,
free of duty, under the will of Thomas Anseldo Hewson,

THE DISGRACEPVL AND BAREAROVx CUSTOM OF
"CRYING DOWN " the credit of a region nt took place in
the public streets of Portsmouth this (Saturday) morning,
on the occasion of the 7th Regiment eomior into the garri-
rim:in. We hope this regulation will, in future, h disconti-
nued in the annual passing of the Mutiny Act. A stroke of
the pen would alter the obnoxious law.—llampshire Tele-
graph.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, as a
young woman, wife of a porter employed at the Vauxhall
station of the South Western Railway, was crossing the
Wandsworth-road, under the railway arch, she was struck
by the leader of a waggon team, lost her footing, and fell
amongst the horses lea. Both of the off who chi pasted
over her head, and death took place instantaneously.
The driver of the waggon is said to have been perfectly
sober when the accident occurred.

MODEL LIFE BOATEL—It is stated thAt no to Bator-
day nearly 200 model life boats had been forwarded to the
surveyor's office in the Admiralty from all parts of the
country, including Ireland, to compete for the prize of 100
guineas liberally offered by Rear-Admiral the Duke of
Northumberland for the best model life boat, and an addi-
tional 100 guineas for a life boat that should be built accord-
ing to the prize model. It appears that the Duke of
Northumberland is in correspondence with the Royal
National Shipwreck Institution, Great Wirehester-street,
and has promised to communicate the result of his decision
to that society. This is natural enough shire the society
has, it is stated, expended nearly 6,0007. on life boats at
different periods, and is always endeavouring to increase
the number of its life boat establishments on various parts •
of the coasts of the United Kingdom, for the purpose, as far
as a hardy crew and an efficient life boat can neeoniplish it,
of diminishing to some extent the fearful loss or life •from the
numerous shipwrecks which annually occur on our shores.
HEREFORD AND BRECON RAILWAY.—A meeting of
the inhabitants of Brecon was held on Thursday, in the
Town-hall, for the purpose of adopting the neees-wry mea-
sures to form a railway communicut ion between Brecon and
Hereford. The Mayor presided.—The Chairman called
attention to the praiseworthy exertions of the citizens of
Hereford to promote railway communication frem that city
to Shrewsbury and the north, and also a diror, communica-
tion between Hereford and the metropolis. The proposed
lines from Hereford to Gloucester and from Brecon to
Hereford would not be complete unless extended into the
populous mining districts on their south-east and south-
west by junctions with existing lines, which lines would be
equally advantageous to Herefordshire as to Breconshire.
He thought they might fully calculate on the support of
the great iromnasters and other gentlemen of South Wales.
He believed that the line could be constructed for less than
10,0001. per mile. They would have ample time to mature
their plans, for it was not intended to apply to parliament
in the present session, but, in the meantime, they must use
every exertion to promote the undertaking.—After some ob-
servations from Colonel Watkins, M.P., and several other
gentlemen, a resolution was passed approving of the scheme,
and the meeting separated.
