on this line, at present iu course of construction. A por-
tion of a high stone wall, forming the facing of an eml oak.
meet adjoining the vas lust over the turnpike road at Wrib.
benhall, gave way, end is at present a mine of ruin. Two
men fell along with it, but fortunately were not seriously
hurt. About two miles from Bewdley, where the line was
nearly close to the river Severn, there has also been an ex-
tensive landslip. About two acres of woodland slipped into
the Severn, taking with it oak and other trees, some of them
standing as they grew, whilst others were uprooted and
strewn about. Higher up the river, at Aymer, slips had
also taken place, and at various other places along the line
the embankment had given way ; and at Hanley and Hamp-
ton Lode the ground was in such a state that the line had to
be diverted from it+ original direction. The let of May, in
the present year, was ungivally fixed on for the openiug
the line; but it is suppoee.l that the opening will not take
place Ull July.
