gathering up his despatches, a couple of carriages were
driven against the train, any the messenger was thrown
violently on the ledge of the back-board, and immediately

man in the train, said to be Lord Adolphus Fez lames,
' immediately rushed to the spot, and secured the despatches.
The messenger .as taken out and laid on the platform, and,
by the application of cold water, he recovered his senses,
and stated that his ribs were broken. He was then taken
into the station, and a surgeon who happened to be in the
train waited on him. Before the train proceeded Lord
Alalphus gave the despatches to the train guard, who con-
veyed them to Osborne-house from Southampton, in the
Elfin royal yacht, which was in waiting at the latter place

arrival of the ladies about to be baptised. He gave out a
hymn, in the singing of which all present joined. After a
short interval the ladies made their appearance in bathing
dresses, and, after having plunged about the water for tame

according to the rites of the Latter-day Saints religion, was
terminated. The singing of a hymn closed the proceedings.
It was stated that the ladies were suddenly struck with the
ideas of the Mormoaitcs relative to baptism, and at once
caosented to become followers of them. Their names did
