THE NEW ACT RELATING TO NUISANCES RE•
MOVAL AND DISEASES PREVENTION. The new Act to
amend the Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention
Act of last year came into force on Wednesday„ Power
is given to summon witnesses, and to enable the Secre-
tary of the Board of Health to institute and carry on
prosecutions for violation or neglect of regulations or-
dered. In certain cases guardians of the poor may di-
rect proceedings and prosecutions, and defray expenses
attending the same. There are four clauses in the Act
relating to burial grounds. The General Board of
Health may cause inquiry to be made into the state of
burial grounds, and are empowered to direct measures of
precaution. In case of a churchyard being dangerous
to health, the churchwardens may agree for the burial
of parishioners in the ground of any cemetery company,
or in the burial ground of any other parish. The Ge-
neral Board of Health may order inquiries, where it may
be expedient, to prohibit interments, and, upon report,
the Board of Health may frame a scheme for providing
a new burial ground. This Act is to be deemed one
with the other Act.

RENEWAL 01' SUNDAY TRAINS ON THE EDINDUROII
AND GLA,GOW RAILWAY.—The directors of the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway have called a special general
meeting of the proprietors for the 21st, " To consider the
question of running Sunday trains, and to come to such
resolution thereon as the meeting may determine." We
believe all that the requisitionists wish—who have been
the means of getting this meeting called—is that no ad-
ditional trains than what are now running, and have run
on Sundays, since the period of the famous dispute that
took place some two years ago, shall be put upon the
line, but that carriages for the conveyance of
.passengers
shall be attached to these trains. This, we think, is by
no means an unreasonable request, and one which, if ac-
ceded to, will give very great satisfaction.—Railway and
Shipping Gazette.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an inquest was
taken by Mr. H. M. Witkley, at the Middlesex Hsspital,
on the body of Mr. Thomas Palmer, aged 21. The do-
ceased was the son of Mr. Palmer, proprietor of the
Union Tavern, Shoreditch, and a clerk of Messrs. Vyse
and Co., Wood-street, Cheapside. On Saturday evening
he went with some friends to the West-end, and in Tot-
tenham-court-road, near twelve o'clock, he took his seat
on the top of a cab, when, while entering Portland-street
the cab gave a sudden jerk, by which he was thrown off.
His head came in contact with the kerb. He was taken
up in a state of insensibility and conveyed to the Mid-
dlesex Hospital, where he died. Verdict—" Accidental
death."

It is the intention of Lord Shaftesbury to resign
the Chairmanship of Committees of the House of Peers
before the re-assembling of Parliament. We understand
that the appointment, which is ono of considerable
emulun2ent and no small influence, will be conferred on
Lord Beaumont.— Weekly Chronicle.

tion is in course of signature to Mr. Williams, the late

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An established Fact that
Holloway's Pills are a Certain Cure for Dropsy. —Mrs. Jane
Thomas, housekeeper to a nobleman, residing in the West-end,
had been predisposed for years to this insidious disease, and al-
though she had received the best advice from the matt skilful
of the faculty, yet all their efforts proved fruitless in checking
its baneful effects on her constitution, which appeared to be
rapidly declining. In this hopeless state she commenced tak-
ing Holloway's Pills, and, to the utter astonishment of herself
and all the family, this wonderful medicine has effected a per-
fect cure. Females at the meridian of life should always have
reevrse to these invaluable Pills. Sold by Druggists and et
Pro. aser Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
