CHURCH RATES.—On Saturday last the church-
wardens of Beccles held a Meeting, at which, after examining
the estimates for the ensuing year, which had been prepared,
they agreed that a rate of 4d. in the pound would be suffi-
cient, and resolved to move it at the ensuing Vestry Meeting
on Easter Monday. Before that Meeting was held it became
generally understood that the Dissenters had resolved on op-
posing the making of any rate, and were able to bring a ma-
jority on their own side of three to one. Accordingly, on
Monday last, the vestry was crowded with parishioners, and
the parties were arrayed for the contest, when Mr. Garnham,
the Churchwarden, rose, and stated, that as he was not pre-
pared with the necessary estimates, they had resolved to advise
a postponement of the subject. In this case the Churchmen
dared not come to the contest, and the field was left in the
possession of their antagonists. It is very certain that a
Church-rate will never be again known in Beccles.
At four in the morning of the 26th ult., a shock of
an earthquake was felt at Fribourg, succeeded by a violent
gale from the west.

As lately as the middle of last week the snow near
Bangor lay from four to five feet deep, rendering the roads
in some places for a time impassable.

PARISH OF CLERKENWELL.—Yesterdav a Vestry
meeting was held in the church for the election of Parish-
officers and making a poor-rate. Reformers were elected to
the different offices ; and it was agreed that 12,45/. 6s. Gd.
should be raised for ithe relief of the poor for the year by a
Is. 10d. rate ; last year the sum raised was 14,0001.
Steam boats must certainly offer the most desirable
mode of conveyance in America, if it be true, as stated by a
recent tourist, that no person ever travelled 100 miles by land
in that country without being overturned.
The whole of the ashes at the late fire in Bur-
lington Arcade are undergoing a careful sifting, which has
already been the means of recovering various portions of
jewellery.
At a recent ball given in Paris, a serious accident
occurred which ought to serve as a caution to the devotees to
waltzing. The young and beautiful Princess de Belgiojoso
was waltzing with M. de La Villegontier, eldest son of the
Peer of that name, when, from the rapidity with which they
were whirling, both fell at full length on the floor. The prin-
cess was raised, covered with blushes, but Monsieur V., in en-
deavouring to sustain the Princess, had his shoulder dislo-
cated, the whole weight of the Princess having fallen on his right
arm. Prompt medical aid being obtained, the limb was reset,
and tho patient is doing well,
