THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—During the
present week much interest has been excited on the Great
Western Railway by the running of two experimental trains,
for the purpose of truing
.• the strength and security of the
permanent nay," ana the
pavers of the locomotive engines.
On Monday and 'Tuesday the /Eolus engine run with a train of
nine carriages filled with stones and iron to the weight of up-
wards of 60 tons, and on Thursday the North Star commenced
running with 12 carriages and 10 trucks similarly loaded to
the extent, it is calculated, of upwards of 180 tons, exclusive
of the weight of the engines, which is 18 tons. The North Star
accomplished the distance from London to Maidenhead in 54
minutes.

On Thursday
night, as police constable Jones, of
the A division, was on duty in the Green Park, be observed a
soldier of the Grenadier Guards attempting to mike his way
across the iron railing in Piccadilly, close to the triumphal
arch. The poor MIA. tieing in a state of intoxication at the
time fell from the iron work upon the stone pavement under-
neath, and when the policeman came up he was weltering in
hood from a severe wound upon his head. The man has hi-
therto borne an excellent character in the regiment, and it
aprivared had obtained leave ofabscnce from his commanding
officer until eleven o'clock on the night in question. In order
to be punctual, be endeavoured to get over the railing, the
' Park gates beina. shut. He was conveyed to St. George's
Hospital, where he remains in a very dangerous state.

Whatever may be the quantum of Hebrew literature pos-
sessed by the English Clergy, I think few (judging from his
letter) would profit by any lessons therein which ‘• Aleph " is
edpable of giving. His account of how the observation of the
seer ntl, day arose, viz.—that Moses invented it as a piece of
policy,' and then piously palmed it upon the Almighty, is in-
genious no doubt ; but a writer who is so sceptical himself, will
surely excuse others if they cannot all at once embrace his
most singular theory, at any rate, not till he vouchsafes some-
thing, like proof. The remainder of his letter, being beside
the subject, is not worth notice. I am happy to embrace all
and every opportunity of expressing my entire and unqualified
approbation of the sentiments contained in the Bishop of Exe-
ter's speech, and in Dr. Hook's sermon; but I have yet to
learn how the Mosaic account of the Creation is, connected
either with the extent of episcopal authority, or the important,
or I may say the fundamental. doctrine of the apostolical sue-
succession of the Christian ministry.
I am, Sir, your most obedient serrar,t,
A LONDON CLERGYMAN.
