ELECTRO-PLATE Goons.—The e are few branches of art th
more perfection has been attained in than in this Donlon of our
manufacture, and the most beautiful specimens of spoons, forks,
goblet., and other table al./ides of the sort, may be seen at Mr.
E. T. Hall's, of z 3, South John-street, who. to his other branches of
bosiaess, has added a department for the sale of these articles,
having been appointed agent to one of the first manufacturers in
Birmingham. The designs in these articles are beautiful, the quality
very superior (nearly as go d as silver), and the price, consioering
all these mod rate to a degree. An inspection of the goods will
prove the above facts.—Northern Times.

" An f-pproaching visit of the Emperor to Brittany,"
says the Journal de Rennes, "is talkei of here. What is
certain is, that the Western RAilway Company has
ordered a very splendid carriage to be built for the accom-
modation of his Majes'y."
NETHERLANDS LAND ENCLOSURE COMPANY.—The meeting
of this company was held on Friday. The chairman, Mr.
Moxon, sated th the; had enclosed about 3,000 acres,
and intended to enclose 1,000 more nem' year. If the
tailole contract with the Dutch government could be en-
clo-ed on the terms proposed, he had no doubt but this
wruld be a very profita,ble undertaking. Owing to the
late fi"ancial scheme failing it was now proposed to raise
the obligations from £lOO,OOO to £200,000, the same to
rank before the shares.

TEE " WEST Si:WE X GSENTI E" Ix DANOEIL-011
Thursday last the mesaeneer who delivers this paper rout d
about Pulborough and Ftttleeorth, had a ludicrous adven-
ture. He had delivered his papers at Fittleworth, and
was proceeding on to Pulborough with his bundle. On
earing •Stopham-bridge, he put his bundle, which con-
tained about 20) papers, by the side of a gate, while he
went to thliver two papers at a house lying about twenty
yards from the road. Daring the time he was gone, and
he had scarcely been away more than two minutes, some
fellow, who had evidently been watching him, stole the
'bundle, and made off with it.' The messenger immediately
searched about for the delinquent, but could not see hire.
It was impossible that he could hive got any distance, so
be walked to Pulborough for a policeman, to aid him in
recovering the lost papers. On the road he met a barge-
man, who was walking towards Stopham-bridge. He told
him of his di-asoar, and requested him to make it known
on the read. The bargeman gave notice at the toll-house
at the Lot of the bridge, that if a man came along with a
bundle of the West Sussex Gazette he was to be stopped.
Not many minutes elapsed before a man with ore arm
made his way to Stopeam-bridge with the identical
bundle. He was accosted by the toll-keeper, and he very
:non put dews his parcel and " m zzled" off as fast as he
could. Soon after this our messenger came up with the
policeman, and he was delighted to find the missing papers,
although Le had bane detained some three or four hours in
searching for the culprit. It appears that the thief, after
be had stolen the papers, mite. have concealed himself in
the hedge ewe by, and watched to see which way the
messenger went in starch cf him. Seeing that he went
towards Pulborough, the ferow immediately took art
opposite course, but unluckily for him during the time
of his coeeealment, the bargeman passed with the infor-
m ition of the robbery, and had reached Stopham-bridge
in time to give notice of it. Had not this been the case
the fellow would have escaped Scot free ; and about 200
of the subscribers in and around Pnlborongh w: uld have
been deprived of their papers on that merning.— West
Sussex Gazette.
