TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIPS OF LIVERPOOL.—
Passing the Cobourg Dock on Friday last, we were much
gratified and surprised at the sight presented there; no
sewer than six of the large steam-ships of the British
and North American Royal Mail Steam-packet Com-
pany were there on that day—namely, the Canada, the
Niagara, the Cambria, the Hibernia, the Acadia, and
the Britannia. We have no hesitation in saying that
they are not to be equalled in any country. It occurred
to us how quietly and unostentatiously the work of this
company is carried on. We hear of other large steam-
ship companies in other parts of the kingdom as matter
of every day talk, yet here is one carrying on a large busi-
ness at our own doors, with the finest steam-ships in the
world, giving employment, directly and indirectly, to
thousands of our population; feeding, to an extent be-
yond general knowledge, the revenue of our dock estate;
and yet so little is known, that we confess ourselves to be
quite at fault on the most material points. We, however,
now and again, on looking over our own publication, get
a glimpse of its doings, the rapid passages of the ships
hitherto outstripping all competition, and carrying the
fame of British enterprise and British skill to that land
of stripes and stars where the spirit of emulation is now
so fiercely burning. Except in the striking regularity
and expedition with which, week after week, the ships
perform their passages, so to speak for themselves, with
all the regularity of mail coaches, there seems on the
surface of things little to indicate to the public the exist-
ence of so large a steam-ship company at this port.—

MORDAUNT HALL.—The numerous admirers of
those remarkable narratives, " Emilia Wyndham,"
" Angela," &c., will hear with pleasure that another
work from the same pen is about to appear under the
title of" Mordaunt Hall." It is said to be a story of the
present day, possessing that deep domestic interest which
never fails to exert the most powerful influence over the
imagination of the reader, and bringing forward charac-
ters that are so peculiarly natural, it is scarcely possible
for the mind not to abandon itself to a perfect faith in
the story in which they figure.
ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—
On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, as the down
train from London was approaching Wareham, an oc-
currence took place which might have been attended
with serious consequences. It appeared that a farmer at
Keswortb, about a mile from Wareham, bad the previous
day purchased a cow and heifer at a neighbouring
market, and had turned them into the heath adjoining
his jpremises, and through which heath the line passes.
The fence being rather low these two fresh cows were
restless, and separated from the rest of the herd, and
leaping the fence got upon the rail. The driver did not
perceive them till the engine was close to them, and
passed over both, mutilating their carcasses, and cutting
the heifer completely in two. The cow had its legs
severed about half-way up, and its horns and part of the
skull cut away. The skin appeared sound; but upon
opening, it was found that almost every bone of its body
was more or less shivered and broken. The shock was
felt by each of the carriages, but nothing further than a
passing alarm prevailed. Notice being given to the
station-master, Mr. Madegan, at Wareham, the carcasses
were removed from the line to the station.

A MAN CUT TO PIECES IN THE CLAYTON TUNNEL
ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—Late on Friday evening
Mr. Gill, the coroner, concluded an inquiry commenced
on the previous Wednesday on the remains of a man
unknown, found lying in the Clayton Tunnel on Tues-
day morning. He was discovered by one of the railway
police lying across the rails. He was most shockingly
mutilated, his ,face being the only part which had
escaped being cut or torn by the train, for that he must
have been run over by one or more trains seems certain.
His appearance denotes that he had been a person in
tolerably good circumstances, but not the least fact
could be obtained to lead to his identity. A verdict of
" Found Dead" was returned.
