ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE ON THE EASTERN COUN-
TIES RAILWAY.—We are sorry to have to record a second
instance of violence perpetrated on a passeoger train on the
Eastern Counties Railway ; and we lament to add that one of
our transatlantic brethren will convey scours the Ocean
intelligence of a state of barbarism in this country
more real than those fabulous horrors which were
some time back Imposed upon the Times by en
English visitor to America. Last Friday night the
down express train pained Wymondhsin Station at
the usual time, and when • few miles beyond
that town, • large stone was dung at the train, the stone
sossahed one of the windows of a Rest ohms carriage, sad
struck • passenger on the side of the fain, breaking his jaw-
bone. On arriving a Norwich the er, Professor
Rogers, of America, was conveyed to the Swan Inn, where
he wee immediately attendee by Mr. Firth, the surgeon.
Preform, Rogers tram on a visit to Professor Sedgwick, now
In Norwich. Several lads have been apprehended on sus-
picion by the county police.—Bury and Norwich Post.
THE MUTINY IN INDIA.—The following prayer
has been suggested and recommended by the -Bishop of
Edinburgh, Primus, to be used, during the mutiny in Bri-
tish India, before the Gemmel Thanksgiving:—' 0 Lord
God Almighty, wbo ruled the nations upon earth by
Thisbe unaearelmble ProvideFos, nutting the wrath of

man to praise Thee, awl—turning tin apparent no -
°eases of the wicked to the furtherance of Thine eternal
purposes of truth, justice, and mercy, we Thine afflicted
servants gee unto Thee for aid and comfort in this our time
of great sorrow and anxiety. We acknowledge, 0 Lord,
that neither individually nor se a nation have we duly felt
our obligations to Thee for all Thy mercies, nor the respon-
sibility under which we lay to we the wealth and power
which Thou hut permitted our nation to attain, for Thy
honour and for the good of our fellaw-creeturee.
We acknowledge that in these matters we have
incurred the guilt of many sins of omission, and
it may be of commission also, but Thy word
encourageth those who confess their sins to flee
unto Thee that their iniqeity may be forgiven. Hear,
then, 0 Lord, the prayer of Thins afflicted people, and, as
of old Thou didet stay the hand of the avenging angel, at
the prayer of Thy servant David, so now stay the murder.
cue violence of the Heathen, who are purposed to extermi-
nate all those who throughout India call upon the name
of Thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Support, by
Thy providential sod, end by the comfort of Thy
Holy Spirit, our fellow subjects in the East, who
are in morrow or peril, the wounded, the hoax-
Land the destitute, thou who mourn fur the
and those who are Ps doubt and fear as to the fate of
their nosiest and dearest relatives. Grant to our councillors
wisdom ; grant to our soldiers strength and victory in the
day of battle; grant to 101 thou who are now bowing before
Thee the spirit of prayer, repentance, and faith, so that
we may come puri&d out of the fire of efeiction, and be
enabled to teen is Thy mercy, even while smarting under
the chastisement we have Moored. Hear, 0 Lord, in beaus
Thy dwelling-place, and answer and forgive, for Christ's
sake. drum.'

PARADISE' IN SOUTII AIISTRALIA.—In the absence
of the mail from South Aerialist, our intelligence from Ade-
laide is very limited; in fact; only that which the Melbourne
papers and letters make mention of. The principal topie of
interest memo to be the discovery of fertile lands in the in-
terior, with a fresh-water lake, which is designated a perfect
"paradise." Mr. Ooyder, who has explored the regions be-
tween Lake Torrens and Mount Serie, baa published hie
report of the expedition, in which he informs us positively
that "we hays a fresh-water lake in the interior of the co-
lony, where we scarcely dared hope for more than a stony
desert or • salt marsh ;" describes " romantic scenery, nobb
hills, fertile valleys, gnreay plains, numerous birds, animals,
and even human inhabinuis, gushing eprings and flowing
corks," where we bad deemed there was nothing but aridity
and desolation, euggesta " higher hilt., richer country, and
more extensive waters leyond the limits of the present saps-
ditioa, but within the vision of the party."—Mining Journd,

THE SIGN OF "TILE GREEN MAN AND STILL.'
—ln this sign we perceive a huntsmen, in a green coat,
standing by the aids of a still; is allusion, es it has been
facetiously conjectured, to the partiality shown by that de-
sorption of gentry to a morning dram. The genuine remi-
se/dation, however, should be the green man (or man who
deals in green herbs) with a bundle of peppermint or penny-
royal under his arm, which he brings to be distilled.—Rom
