EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.-Mr. Humphrey
Brown, M.P., has, through our columns of to-day, given
notice of his intention to move at the next meeting cer-
tain resolutions. The principal object is to perfect the
system of accounts, to ascertain the original cost and
present value of the rolling stock, and see the amount
of traffic belonging to the main line and that to tbe
branches.

JENNY LIND.—FLIGHT OF THE NIGHTINGALE.—
After all the numerous and strange paragraphs which
have found their way into provincial and London news-
papers, the public will, perhaps, learn with some sur-
prise that our most admired songstress and Swedish
Nightingale has left her residence at Brompton, and de-
parted ior Paris, on her way to Stockholm. IVo mar.
ridge in England, we may venture to affirm, will take
place till she has had the advantage of consulting with
her family and friends. What may happen after that,
who can tell? Perhaps the paragraphists who knew
not only about the special license, but the actual wed.
ding at Batb. We shall no doubt have plenty of specu-
lations on the present state of affairs from authorites
quite as well intornlid.—Literary Gazette.
STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOOLE AND
RO'FTENDAM.—A steamer is about to run weekly be-
tween Goole and Rotterdam, and Rotterdam and Goole.
She will leave Goole, on her first voyage, to. morrow.
This is an experiment, to ascertain the advantage or
disadvantage of shipping goods from Goole, from the
West Riding and Lancashire, by the Lancashire and
Yorkshire line, in preference to the Hull and Serby, and
the other lines in connexion with it.—Hull Advertiser.
