your report of the meeting of
the Great Northern Railway Ccenpany on Satur-
day, Mr. Denison is made to remark that, " the
wed traffic was thrown open before Vice.ChanceUer
Kinderaley pronounced his decision. He believed the
public would soon find out that the Great Northern
directors were their best friends. (Hear, bear.) He heard
already that whereas they formerly got full weight and fair
quality of coals, they now got deficient weight and inferior
quality." We presume that thme remarks do nut apply to
the Loudon depots, as Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general
manager, is well aware that the system of loading and
weighing is under the entire control of the company, and is
earned out by their own servants &lows—We are, Ac.,

DEATH OF FLIMBIORE 7131 Closes.—The panto-
miniedoving public will learn with regret, that Mr. Bichsrd
Pleamore, the well-known clown, died an Moods=
atrophy, er wasting away of the body, at his
Hercules-buildings, Lmbtb, in the :ffith year of his age.
Mr. Flexmore may be said to have commenced life as •
pantomimist, for et the early age of eleven years he made
his first appearance at • meII theatre which then existed at
Chelsea, in a fantastic piece called The Man in the Mon.
lie danced very effectively • bm.rsqme shadow dance. He
subsequently became • pupil of Mr. -Frampton, and chewed
groat aptitude for stage liminess in his own peculiar line.
He was especially celebrated fur his doss and natural imita-
tions dla dons, of the leading terpsichorean* of the day,
such as Perot, Carlotta Oran, Taglioni, Cerito, At., and
in these imitations none laughed heartier or enjoyed them
none than the originals who happened to witness them.
He married Medlin. Auriol, and both himself and his wife,
who survives hint, became great favourites with the public.
His last appearance before the public was for • benefit at
the SurneY'lliestre, either in March or April.
Tie Olson IN KENT.—The weather during the
past month has been very unseasonable, with but little sun-
shine. We have scarcely had two successive days without
rain, and the nights have been cold and annual There is
still &considerable quantity of hay to get together ; the
bulk, however, ia carried, though a large portion in very
bad coalition. The ern crops, generally speaking, pro-
mise an average ; but every day causes greater uneasiness
to be felt as to the harvest. The wheat is much shorter of
straw than last rear, but the ear seems well tilled and
mostly free from blight. Barley is, upon the whole, look-
ing well, the grain being unusually full • that lodged will
be bed in colour, particularly when seed; are sown in it.
Oats are variable, but on the whole likely to be an
avenge. Many pieces of peas are cut ; they are generally
well podded, but fine weather is much wanted, as they will
he greatly injured if not soon secured. Beans promise
• goal crop, but will be very late to
Potatoes are more diseased than they have been for some
years, and the crop of good ones will be very small. Wru-
ng has suffered from the wet ; many pieces are bare of plant
and the growth checked by weeds, the cleaning of the root
crops being • very difficult job this year The plant of
swedes is good, but very backward. Green and white tur-
nips mostly look well, but many pieces after trefoil have
been destroyed by slugs. The young clovers are very strong
and will much interfere with harvesting the corn in which
they are sown. ('berries were plentiful, but the wet spoilt
a great quantity of them, and also checked the sale. Apples
and pees are a large crop, although they do not lock
kindly, and seem as if they would not grow out. There
will be more filberts than was expected after the high
winds. The wet has been against the stock, cud
many flocks are affected with foot rot. The season has
been very much against the hops ; the choice Golding
grounds have suffered the most, and it is now certain that
the crop will be very small—South Eastern Gazette.
