LORD ROLLE.—O❑ Wednesday last, the Ve-
nerable Lord Rolle attained the age of 88 years, in the
possession of excellent health and spirits, when a select
party assembled to congratulate his Lordship. Among
the many recent ornamental improvements suggested
by tho tasteful mind of Lady Rolle at Bicton, is the
beautiful sheet o 1 water in front of the mansion, and
the Belvidere or Tower which has just been completed
from an elegant design, on a prominent hill within the
grounds, and about a mile on the north-west of the
house. During the morning (:rive his Lordship's atten-
tion was for the first time called by Lady Rolle, to this
latter improvement. His Lordship was completely
taken by surprise, and expressed his gratification and
delight, and immediately determined upon ascending
to the leads (a height of nearly one hundred feet,)
which his Lordship accomplished without assistance.—

RA ILROADS.-The Liverpool Mercury and
some other papers having published Railway train tables
received a notice from the Stamp-office, that intelligence
of that sort, would in future be charged with advertise-
ment duty. A communication, however of a different
kind, has since ben issued by the Liverpool Custom
House, in these words :—" Toe Commissioners of Stamps
and Taxes have directed that such notices published in
the newspapers showing the time of departure and arri-
val of the railway trains as are inserted for the informa-
tion of the public, without remuneration, and not at the
request of the railway companies, shall not be assessed
with the duty on advertisements, provided that such
notices are regularly inserted in every number of the
paper."
INFAMOUS PUBLICATIONS.—Societies have
been formed, not only in London but throughout Eng-
land, for the suppression of those infamous weekly pro-
ductions, which are as insulting to public decency, as
they are painful to the feelings of unoffending indivi-
duals. The Saciety at Brighton have obtained a war-
rant against a man named West, for publishing one of
these papers ; and have announced their intention of
acting in a similar way towards all who shall circulate
that, or other periodicals of a like tendency. The fol-
lowing caution has been widely diffused amongst the
several publishers :—" Any person guilty of publish-
or writing, or printing an attack upon any indivi-
dual, tending to provoke him to anger and acts of vio-
lence,d.l or expose him to public hatred, contempt, or ri-
Onicucoen, liable to be indicted for a misdemeanour, and,
—Starkiee'i", to be punished ,by fine or imprisonment.'

The Cornwall Royal Gazette says " That railroads
self-evident
will eventually bo carried over a
thing our Cornish hills, is a
as certain as that
steam-ships have been brought into Cornish
pow.rts, and
gas employed to illuminate Cornish towns,
be slow in adopting such improvements—paraY, may
per-
haps, from our cautious and calculating habit; ,
and
dpartly from the remoteness of our situation from the
great seats of commercial enterprise ; but we must
adopt them at last, if we would maintain our position
among the other counties of England, and save from
ruin and decay the important branches of industry which
have grown up among us. The only question is, at
what periods they should be adopted ; and that ques-
tion, as far as regards the subject of a railroad, is to be
considered on Tuesday next, by the assembled county,
at Bodmin."

Families returning to town, aryl about to engage
servants, are warned against the very prevalent system
adopted by men without characters, of getting into
place by fictitious written ones. Not only do clubs or
societies exist for assisting in this deception, but there
are men and families of a certain class base enough to
accept the gratuitous services of discarded men servants,
on an understanding that they give them characters,
when they can find families whom they
p can dupe or
plunder.
