NEW BILLS. -It appears that notieng, cif 5tr,r,1;,...;,,..

NE BILLS. —lt appears that notices of application
to Parliament in the ensuing session have been given fur
60 railway Bills. There are five notices for new lines,
v.z , Bangor to Cernarvon, Brenttbrd to Southall and
Pinner, Forest of Dean Central, Cambridge to the Roy-
ston and llitchin Railway at Shepreth, and from the
North Staffordshire, at Macclesfield. to the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire branch at Whalley-bridge.
The notices for amalgamations are the Caledonion and
Edinburgh and Glasgow; the Scottish Central with the
London and North Western, Lancaster and Carlisle,
Caledouiau, and Edinburgh and Glasgow Companies;
and the Edinburgh and Bathgate wi:h the Eainbargh
and Glasgow. The proposed leases are the Chester and
Holyhead to the London and North-Western; the Dun-
dee, Perth, and Aberdeen Junction, the Dundee and
Arbroath, and Dundee and Newtyle, to the Caledonian
Company; and the Scottish Central to the London and
North-Western, Lancaster and Carlisle, Caledonian
and Edinburgh and Glasgow Companies. The York,
Newcastle, and Berwick have given notice to make new
crrangements or the purchase of the Great North of
England Railway, and the York and North Midland
have given notice for raising money and for altering
terms of issue of Hull and Selby purchase shares. The
other notices chiefly refer to deviaeons and abandonment
of authorised lines, extension of time for the purchase of
land and completion of works, power to make arrange-
ments with other companies, and to raise further capital
to pay off liabilitie s and to complete works.
THE CITY AMICLBLE ASSEMBLY.—The first ball
for the season took place at the London Tavern, last
night, the 23d inst., and was very numerously and
fashionably attended; Adam ,'s band was in attendance.
PEMBROKE ROYAL DOCKYARD.— The Saturn
guard-ship at this port is being prepared to receive the
crew and stores of the Royal Sovereign yacht. The
vessel will speedily bo docked and taken to pieces, in
accordance to orders received to that effect. It is also
intended to break up the Fame (formerly the Dragon),
now used as a marine hospital. This step is rendered
necessary, not only on account of her rotten c(judition,
but likewise from the fact that in her present situation
she would obstruct the firing from the Martello towers,
the construction of which is rapidly advancing. A very
large armament has been ordered for the Valerius
steam-frigate, now being built at Pembroke. On the
upper de.:k she will carry one 68-pounder of 95 cwt.;
one 10-inch gun of 85 cwt.; and four 32 pounders of 56
cwt. each. Mr. Rbinson has been appointed Captain
in the Royal Dockyard Battalion, vice Moody; rernovcd
to Woolwich. Captain Bonniwell has been promoted to
be Major, and Lieutenant A. Pike to be Captain.
COMBAT wan A TIGER.—BATAYIA, SEPT. 29.
From the Residency, Rembang, a communication has
been received of a rare instance of the intrepidity of a
native, which has been crowned with an extraordinarily
fortunate result. This native, named Wire Dipo, went
at nine o'clock in the morning of the Ist of August to
the forest situated near the Dessa Dagen, intending to
search for Areen leaves to make mats of, and he had
provided himself with a hatchet fit to cut gritsleand right
wood. Shortly after his entrance into the forest he dis-
covered, at a short distance behind him, a tiger of the
largest kind, really to string upon him. Without
awaiting the leap, Wire Pipe himself attacked the mon-
ster, and gave it some wounds with his light weapon,
which caused the tiger to fall down roaring, dragging
his assailant down with him; but the last succeeded in
raising himself, and in giving a number of blows to the
tiger, who filially expired under them. Wiro Dipo
came without any 'wound out of this battle, and it is
believed that this near!y inexplicable circumstance may
be a,crieed to the rapidity and intrepidity with which
Wire Dipo anticipated tne leap of the tiger, and to the
fear which this mint have caused to the tiger, the
timorous as well as cruel nature of this kind of animal
bting sufficiently known. The skin of this tiger was
me asured afterwards, and it was then found that its
length from the nose to the beginning of the tail was
5 feet 2 inches, and including the tail, 8 feet inches.
THE MILDNESS OF THE SEASOL—TO show the
genial character and mildness of the fact end present
season, we may mention that the fine cream•colourtd
rosa Devoniensis was budded, on the 18th of June, on a
stem of the rosa Bengaiensis, in a garden in one of our
suburbs, and that now, in tho middle of November, it
has not only become a large shoot, but is in lull bleier°,
with two beautiful and well-formed roses on it.—lnver-
nese Courier.

The foot-postman between Cockermouth and Grey-
southen pulled a sound perfect mushroom on Wednes-
day, the 21st instant, in a fluid near to Brigham, in the
occupation of Mr. Isaac Banks, of Greysouthen, which
measured four inches in circumference, and is a some-
what unusual production at this time of the year.—Gar-
lisle Journal.
