SINGULAR RAILWAY ESCAPE. —On Friday night,
while the five p.m. down train from London was passing
from Winchester to Bishopstoke, on the South-Western
line, a little boy about six or seven years of age, who
was proceeding with his mother to Botley,
fell of
the carriage on the line, owing to the carriage door
opening. It was expected at least that the poor boy was
killed. As soon as the train reached Bishophtoke, a
pilot engine was sent up the line to look after the boy,
who was found uninjured walking down the line, looking
for his mother.
EMIGRATION FROM PLYMOUTH.—PIymouth, Nov. 4.
—On Sunday morning the fine ship Omega, 765 tons
register, Captain Potter, sailed for Melbourne, having
on board 305 souls, equal to 274 statute adults. The
fine ship Sultana, 588 tons register, Captain Tipper, was
cleared on Tuesday morning, but owing to unfavourable
winds she did not sail till 8 o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing. The Sultana takes out 253 souls, eqaal to 2141
adults. Both these ships are under charter to her
Majesty's Emigration Commissioners. The greater
portion of the passengers were selected by Mr. Will-
cocks, the agent to the commissioners. The Orestes,
558 tons register, Captain Cayzer, taking cabin passen-
gers only to Melbourne, arrived from London on Tues-
day morning, after a remarkably quick passage, and
sailed yesterday morning with a fair wind down Channel.
The Duke of Portland is on her way to this port to
embark passengers for New Zealand. The following
ships, chartered by her Majesty's Emigration Commis-
sioners, are all appointed to embark their emigrants at
this port, under the management of their agent, Mr.
Willcocks :—The Prince Alfred, 931 tons, belonging to
Messrs. Pope, on the 9th inst., the Blenheim, 808 tons,
on the 18th inst., both for Melbourne ; the Sir Thomas
Gresham, 593 tons, for Adelaide, 21st inst. ; the Kent,
for Melbourne, on the 30th inst. ; the Rodney, 877
tons, for Sydney, on the sth Dec.; the Sir Edward
Parry, 575 tons, for Adelaide, 12th Dec. ; and the
Victory early in Dec., for Adelaide. The Tudor, 1,060
tons, one of the ships chartered by the Emigration Com-
missioners and which embarked all her passengers tt,
Southampton, put into this port on Tuesday last, wind-
bound. She sailed yesterday morning. This is another
proof of the advantages of Plymoufh over Southampton:
Had this ship embarked her passengers here, she would
have had no occasion, after sailing, to put into any
other port.

INSPECTION OF THE WESTMINSTER REGIMENT OF
MILITIA. —The Westminster Regiment of Militia was
inspected on Tuesday last at Turnham-green by Col.
the Hon. George Upton, of the Coldstream Guards.
The gallant officer expressed himself well pleased with
the general appearance of the men,
and although the
parade movements were on a very limited scale, he con-
, veyed his satisfaction at their having acquired a know-
ledge of the fundamental principles of the drill of a sol-
dier. After the inspection, the officers of the regiment
entertained the reviewing officer and a number of guests,
to an elegant dejeuner ; and on Thursday, the last day of
the training, the officers dined with Lieutenant-Colonel
Cannon at his town residence.
