TH L BOUTHWAILE VIISTRY. —The Ender meeting
of the vestry of St. Gump the Martyr, Southwark, for
the election of officers for the ensuing year, was held at the
Vestry hall, Newington Csusewa on Tuesday evening
last, the Rev. Hugh Allen, M.A., the rector, in the chair.
The attendance of vestrymen was unusually great, in con-
vene* of the party feeling which has for some time pant
animated both factions in this parish. The principal busi-
ness of the evening was the appointment of a churchwarden
in the roam of one retiring, for which dace, though strictly
honorary there were two candidates—Mr. W. 'Lock and
Mr. Heade', vestrymea and past overseers. The discussion
as to the relative merits and demerits of the candidates
wan, with but one or two exceptions, conducted most
temperately, and upon the show ,s 1 hands being taken, Mr.
Lone, the representative of the church party, was declared
dilly elected by a majority of 19 to 11— Mr. Bendel, the
nominee of the nonconformist party, losing by eight votes.
The reverend chairman congratulated the vestry upon their
choice of • churchwarden, and assured them there was
nothing inconsistent in a conscientious nonconformist de-
siring to serve as churchwarden, and that the church Mein
instance was not in any danger whichever way the elation
had terminated. The remainder of the business being
merely of • routine character, the rector vacated the chair,
a vote of thank, to the chairman—moved by Mr. Archer,
and seconded by Mr. Palmer—having been carried unani-
mously.

bus the inhabitants of the Barrier country nee-
vered the surprise caused by the Counters Home die,
entailing her estates, when the announcement is made that
the Lord of Bucclench has commenced • similar prows,
extending over ten counties, all south of the Forth. As far
as an be judged from the intimations, the Queensberry
estates, situated chiefly in Ihimfriesehire, are not included.
Within the last two or three years some others of his
ronies were similarly disposed of. One effect of a disentail-

AOLI DIST AT Eft anottos'a HALL, SOOTR
WAIL —Leak eight, ea the wail's of • benefit on be-
half of Jerry Noon, • pugilist, the 81. Occorge's Hall, IX
Oeormisread, Southwark, was crowded by the patrons of
the pries ring, and for the accommodation of the holders
of the higher priced deka* several galleries round the hell
were erected . Scam after the performances—
sparring—commenced superstracture of one of them
galleries was heard to each violently, and the gallery came
down with • crash. Upon the first symptoms of insecurity
a general rush was madn, and the gallery thus somewhat
relieved from the weight of the persons on it, fell more
steadily than it otherwe would have done. The accident
was therefore divested of any very serious consequences so
far a. could be ascertained ; numerous br Mace and con-
tusions and considerable alarm being the extent of the
mischief.

Senora ACCIDENT ON TIM MIDLAND ItArLWAT.—
A u accident, attended with considerable In., occurred near
the Defford station of the Midland Railway, yesterday morn-
ing. The ordinary goods train from Bristol left Worcester
at half-past one o'clock, a.m., and on arriving at Defford
commenced shunting on to the up-line, to allow of the 3.24
nail to pane While so doing the express goods train
from Darby
up, and before it could be stopped can clean through
the other train, knocking over the engine on to
its side, and damaging it and several of the waggons con-
siderably. The dnver and stoker, as we (Binning.
/Me Pose) are informed, jumped from the engine
time, and en saved their lives. The up-rails were blocked
with the debris and the fallen engine during the whole of
yesterday. The fault is said to arise from a defect in the
signals. Fortunately no person was injured, although the
loss to the company, in the shape of damagedmaterlsls, will
be very great.
MAAVALLOrn &CATE ow Tile RAIL. —List Satur-
day afternoon the two little girls of the Rev. R. Spears, of
Stocktoo, had a most marvellous escape from a fearful
death. There is a footpath creasing the rails into the field
of Aldermen Wren, close to their own door ; the two little
ones, one three yearn old and the other five, hand-in-hand,
were crowing the Leeds Northern, when a short train came
up, the driver not observing them till within twenty yards
of them, and running pretty quick at the time, saw
nothing, he said, but a certain and terrible death for the
children. He did what he could, reversed the engine and
put on the brake; but just se the children were crossing the last
rail the engine came up and caught them both, throwing the
elder girl outside and the younger one inside the rails, where
she lay stunned till the train passed safely over her. With
the exception of a slight bruise or two, neither of them was
much worse. The men said they had never witnessed a
scene that so terrified them, and could scarcely believe from
the blows both must have received that the children were
little wone. They urged they must be seriously injured,and
expressed surprise that they were not cut to pieces There
no town in the world that eau be more thoroughly hedged is
by level railway crossings oil every side, and tint really
reaps lea sdvantages from railways than Stockton. It does
really say little for the guardians of the rights and interests
of a town when them railways were mad^ notwithitamding
all their spirited oppositions to public eonspanion, that these
this's should be so. —Newcastle Cheeniek.
rice CORE BUTT= MARKET. —The " same
commenced this day, opening with sixteen hundred firkin'.
At the onneeponding period of last year four thousand
ILTICiAS were sent to market ; hut considering the severity
of the past winter and spring, and the emporiums' scarcity
of food for cattle, the supply of butter to-day was larger
they might have been expected. The quality was inferior,
being, to a large extent, what is teehaically called "cocks,"
that is, butter made up of different qualities. A very smell
portion was dairy Main, which, however, only obtained the
mark of third quality. Firsts and seconds received no
place, hat a nominal price of 130 e per cwt, for each was
peeled. Owing to the smallness of the Dimply the demand
was brisk and animated. For thirds, Ilk • for fourths,
um, • end for fifths, Ms per cwt. wee paid, 'and it is anti-
eipsti'd that the price for -fourths will advisee considerably
before the week is out The market will continue to be
held la the igkin crane until the alterations in the Butter
Exchange shall have been completed. These alterations
are very aztemslee, and emit* in enlarging the building to
nearly doable its original dimensions. It will be opened in
Asstist—Oirit Ennusiiser.
