THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The fol

lowing gentlemen, having passed the necessary examina
tion, received their diplomas in dental surgery, at a meeting
of the Board, on the 2d instant—viz., Messrs. Henry
Ezekiel Sewill, of Clifton-gardens, Maida-hill ; and Robert
John Bell, of Cirencester-place, Regent's Park.
COMMUNICATION WITH RAILWAY GUARDS.—CoI.
Yollard, the Government Inspector of Railways,
accompanied by J. Grierson, Esq., the general manager of
the great Western Railway, inspected on Tuesday last, at
Paddington station, the railway passengers' safety signal,
which has been fitted upon a train of the company's car-
riages. Several distinct signals were given from a passen-
ger carriage to the guard's brake :—No. 1. An assault.
No. 2. A violent assault. No. 3. Accident to the carriage
or train. By means of this signal direct communication is
made not only with the guard, informing him of the occur-
rence that has taken place, but also with the passengers in
the next compartment. A sliding shutter opens a com-
munication, by which means a witness is at once obtained,
and assistance is at hand in case of need. A disc or signal
is also thrown out at the side of the carriage indicating
the compartment; this is illuminated at night by a bull's-
eyed lantern, and can be seen by the guard, and the
porters at the next station, who would be in waiting, and
attend to that carriage at once, so that it is impossible to
make use of the signal without being detected. The action
is very simple and perfect, and it has given great satisfac-
tion in working. After the inspection Mr. Grierson, the
general manager, gave instructions for the carriages upon
which it is fitted to be put upon the line ; and a trial trip
to Windsor has since been made, and back to Paddington,
with the utmost success, every signal being instantly
acknowledged by the guard. It is somewhat singular that
this signal was provisionally registered in July, 1864, the
very month that Mr. Briggs met his untimely end.
inventors are Messrs. Barber, Bernard, and Co., of 68,
Fleet-street.
LONDON IN THE REIGN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH.—
A very curious map of London of the above period has
just been issued by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin. As it is
published at a very cheap price thousands will doubtless
possess themselves of the curiosity.
