SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.

OVERTHROW OF THE PHARISEES.
It will be seen with pride and satisfaction, by the ene-
mies of Pharisaical tyranny and pretence, that the share-
holders of the Scottish Central yesterday resolved, by a
large majority, to abandon the system of shutting up
the highway on Sunday, which has brought so much
scandal and ridicule on that company, and even on the
national name. The majority iu favour of running a
morning and evening train was nominally about 4,000
shares and 2,000 votes ; but was in reality much
larger. The directors, who are understood, with one
doubtful exception, to be in favour of opening
the line, refrained from voting, although their
doing so would have increased the majority
by 1,000. They also held at their disposal 3,347
proxies not expressing any opinion on Sunday trains.
which they also refrained from using. Had the direo •
tors, therefore, taken part in the question, the majority
of shares and votes respectively would have been raised
to about 8,000 and 4,000. It is also to be taken into ac-
count that no less than one-ninth of the whole votes
given against trains were given by one individual. It
will be observed that there was a majority on the right
side, in shares and votes, even of persons present, al-
though the Agnewites ied been busy splitting, pur-
chasing, and " whipping." Another fact which enhances
the victory is this—that while the Agnewites employed
all their machinery in the case, and worked it despe-
rately, all that was done on the other side was the almost
unaided work of one private gentleman, who has his re-
ward in the victory which, but for him—such is the
utter want of organization among the friends of sense -
and justice—would not at this time have been achieved,
or perhaps even attempted.—The Scotsman.

DEATH OP DIR. MUNDY, M.P.—We regret to an-
nounce the death of Mr. Mundy, one of the member'
for South Derbyshire, which event occurred (we be-
lieve) at Barbadoes on the 29th of January. We are
obliged to reserve particulars for next week.—Derby and
Chesterfield Reporter.
EXTRAORDINARY LUSUS. NATUR2E.—We have re-
ceived from a correspondent the following particulars of
an extraordinary calf, taken from a cow at Dore, Der-
byshire, a few days since. The calf had two heat's,
four fore feet, and two distinct bodies as far as the loi.re,
where they united into one body of ordinary appearance,
but there were two tails and four hind legs and feet.
The cow was at her full time of gestation, and the calf
was alive when the operation was commenced. The cow
is alive and doing well— a fact which, considering the
difficulties of the case, is highly creditable to the skill of
Mr. Bishop, the operator.—Sheffield Times.
REMOVAL OF JOHN MITCHEL...--The -Cork Exa-
miner says:—" Orders, we understand, hive- been issued
for the removal of John Mitchel from • Bermuda to the
Cape of Good Hope. The climate of the latter colony is
very genial, and peculiarly adapted for persons affected
with pulmonary complaints, so much so that it is cOntii.
