We have given a report in the last page of the
dinner to the Marquis of Breadalbane, on Friday last.
The speeches seem to have been a compound of vagueness
and tameness. The dissensions existing in the ranks of
the Non-lntrusionists made the orators afraid to speak out,
and this rendered the meeting a very dull affair. Mr.
Robert Monteith, having obtained leave of absence from
hia-leatirec ,Urquhart; appeared amongst the Veto-
' tate, but his eloquence hes not inspired•the pens-of the re-
porters—he " spoke at the further end of the room, and
was rather imperfectly heard at the other end." What has
befallen the ot,ce stentorian lungs of Mr. Robert Mon-
teith ? The comr any assembled were, with a few exceF-
tions, Tories.— Glasgow Argus,

METEOR.—Fr;day afternoon, between two and
three o'clock, while a gentleman was proceeding:to Granton
Pier, and passing by Golden Acre, he observed a brilliant
meteor shot from a hazy cloud, which fluated at no great
height in the atmosphere, in the direction of Newhaven.
The course of the meteor was vertically down; the length
of it, as it appeared to the eye, was about a yard, of a pear
shape, and the colour of the light that of burnished brass.
Its meteor form distinguished it at once from a thunder-
bolt ; besides, no audible report accompanied the pheno-
menon. The sun shone brilliantly at the time, and the
clouds generally consisted of isolated masses, with con-
siderable spaces between them; that from which the
meteor darted seemed to occupy a lower stratum of the
atmosphere, and was of a less dense and more hazy ap-
pearance.--Edinburgh Courant.
The Duke of Modena, who has just lost his
consort, has set out for Austria in all baste to sec his
mother, who is at the point of death.
COALITION OF FRENCH OPERATIVES.—
The Reparateur of Lyons says that several domiciliary

comi, suspected of being implicated in the late coalition of
workmen in Paris.

THE NATIONAL IN THE TUSCAN STATES.—
The police of Florence has interdicted the circulation of
the National iii that city. It has taken away all copies
from the coffee-houses and reading-rooms, and forbidden
the postmaster to deliver any that may arrive.
SUNDAY TRAVELLING ON ItAILWAYS.—AII
agitation" is getting- up at Cheltenham against Sunday,
travelling on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.
At the head of the party is the Rev. Mr. Close, who in
the local papers has addresed his townsmen on the sub-
j,-et, his most prominent argument being the apprehended
injury to the prospects of Cheltenham as a place of
fashionable resort, should facilities be afforded to the
canaille of Birmingham and Worcester to pay it a Sunday
visit I This is the reasoning of Messrs. Sturge and Black.
borne reproduced once more. Mr. Close is one of those
popular preachers who are the idols of fusliirmable congre-
gations—and in his anxiety for the temporal prosperity of
the town, is modest enough to lose sight of the spiritual
benefit which the Sunday visitors might possibly receive
from his own apostolical labours.—Railway Times.
LATE SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—Last
evening an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at the
Crown, Green-street, Leicester-square, on the body of
George Ellis Inman, aged 26, a merchant's clerk. Po-
lice-constable 130 A said that at 12 o'clock on Saturday
night last he Has on duty in the Mall, St. James's Park,
when he heard the report of a pistol. He went imme-
diately in the direction of the report, and in the corner of
the third seat from the Duke of York's column he found
deceased with his brains blown out, and a pistol that had
been recently discharged in his hand. No person was
near deceased at the time. His hat was at some distance
from hint, and the ball had perforated the right
side of it, just above the rim, carrying away the
right side of his head. It appeared further, from
the evidence of a fellow-lodger, that he lodged at No.
13, Arundel-street, Strand, and that for the last twelve
months he was nearly insane at intervals, and that a small
quantity of honor or the smoking of three or four cigars
would render him unconscious of what he was doing. His
employers were Messrs. Borsean and Co., Champagne
merchants, of Crutched-friars, with whom he was on good
tennis, but at whose office he had not appeared since the
Tuesday the before
dated Gravesend, was received from him, containing a
25/. bill of exchange, which he might have got cashed
if he had chosen. He was not a gambler, and had not
embezzled any of his employer's property. He had not
been married, and was attached to no female. He was a
well educated man, and spoke three or four languages.
Verdict—" Temporary insanity."

Lord Alvanley, who has been for several months
at the Court of Mehemet Ali, left Cairo about the end of
August for Constantinople, where he is expected to re-

fashionable feature, for there were more equipages of rank
there than have been seen for a month past ; and among
the number was Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, in his team.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TERMINUS OF
THE Loam: AND BLACK WALL RATLWAY,—Yes!erday,
at noon, an inquest was held by Mr. Baker at the London
Hospital, on the body of John Hile, aged 44, a ca-penler,
the particulars of whose melancholy death have before ap-
peared in The Sun, The accident was caused by the
swivel breaking at the connecting bar, the metal forming
which was defective. A new sort of swivel had been
substituted, which as yet answers effetually. There
were twelve guards to every train, and each train had a
junior guard, apprenticed to the company, to become
hereafter a chief guard. The breaking of a rope or
swivel could not by any possible means cause injury to the
passengers on the line. The only effect such breakage
could produce would be to stop the train. The carriages
had six wheels each, and neither the breaking of a rope
or axle could throw them off the rril. Verdict, Acci-
d, D,ath." A gentleman belonging to the Company
said the Directors would take into their liberal considera-
tion the case of deceased's widow
