DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY.—CROS-
SING THE BOYNE.—At a quarter before two o'clock on
Wednesday the first railway train crossed the Boyne.
The train consisted of an engine and tender, 25 tons ;
four ballast waggons, each laden with 6 tons of iron rails,
and between 45 and 50 labourers on each, 50 tons ; to-
tal 75 tons. The widest span crossed was 80 feet. The
deflection was only three-eights of an inch. The engine
returned with six passenger carriages, heavily laden, and
performed the transit in three minutes and a quarter.
The line will be opened fer passengers so soon as Mr.
Wynn, the Government inspector, shall have made his
report. The traffic in the meantime will be carried on
over the whole line.
THE ISLE OF WIGHT SAVINGS' BANK.—The Re-
counts of the Isle of Wight Savings' Bank, which has re-
cently been defrauded, have been audited, and the parti-
culars made known. The amount of 2,646 balances
due to depositors is 66,7781. 12s. 10d. The available,
assets amount to 58,6221. lls. 10d. Amount of defalca,-,
tions, 8,1561. Is. The depositors will receive a dividend,
from this miscalled savings' bank of 17s. 6d. in the
pound. ' The balance sheets of the bank used 'Li
agree with the monthly returns of cash received'And
paid, sent to the National Debt Office, and' were
falsified in the classified statements of balances and in the
amounts ofinterist allowed to the depositors, which cannot
be checked in the last mentioned office. The names of the
magistrates and clergy o fthe Isle of Wight were paraded as
ex officio directors of the Isle of Wight Savings' Bank,
which caused the utmost confidence to be placed in it by
poor people. It appears that few of these persons ever
knew that they were directors, and still fewer ever
thought of attending to the affairs of the I:)auk.
