TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—You would prevent many from loss and disap-
pointment by making the following public:--
CAUTION TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS AGAINST THE
POISONOUS NATURE OF THE SWEEPINGS OFF THE WOOD
PAVEMENT. Having been induced to submit some
sweepings to chemical analysis, through continual ,loss
of my garden crops, I am now informed it has been
caused by the quantity of corrcsive sublimate in the

sweepings.

unaccounted for under the head of Parliamentary ex-
penses, in the report that was recently published by the
committees of shareholders appointed to inquire into the
management of the affairs of the Eastern Counties Rail-
way, met for the first time in committee-room, No. 19,
chose a chairman, arranged the order of business, and

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—A fatal boat accident,
by which a young gentleman named Bullock, who is in
the agency of Messrs. Bass and Co., the well known
bitter ale brewers, for the Bristol district, lost his life,
occurred on Tuesday evening upon the river Avon, near
Bristol. Mr. Bullock with his brother, and a gentleman
in the Magistrates' office named Rogers, had been up to
Hanham in a wherry, and were returning in the even-
ing, when the boat ran foul of some timbers which were
floating in the river, and had not been perceived by the
voyagers. The wherry immediately filled, and went
down. Mr. Bullock was drowned, his companions
escaping with some difficulty.
