A meeting of the Blackwell Railway Proprietors was
held on Thursday, at the London Tavern, when Mr. Alder-
man Humphery explained the circumstances under which
he had sold certain shares in the Company, and in con-
sequence of which he had resigned his Directorship.
Mr. Rennie was elected to fill the vacancy.
On the 25th of August the statue of De Ruyter will

Thursday the Rev. W. R. Cobbold, the incumbent of
Selbourw', Hants, died at the Belle Sauvage Inn, in con-

"Last Saturday evening," says the Nottingham Reviev,
the demand for bread was so unusually great in various
parts of the town, owing to the almost certainty of a rise
in the price on the following Monday, that many of the
baker's shops are completely emptied."
A Morning Contemporary states, that in the House
of Commons on Thursday " every eye was directed to Sir
R. Peel ; and when he rose to speak, an almost death-
like silence prevailed." If the silence was as marked as
that which the Right Hon. Baronet has maintained on
the subject of his remedies, it must indeed have been " a
death-like" one !

'rho Chronicle states that :—" The Duke of Welling-
ton, passing through Canterbury last Saturday, on his
way to town from Walmer, stopped to change horses at
Wright's. He asked Mr. Wright to show him the Can-
terburl corn letter of that day (being market day), when
he observed wheat quoted as having fetched 86s. He
asked was it true that that price had been obtained in
that day's market, and being replied to in the affirma-
tive, observed, 'lndeed! then something must be done.' "
Mr. O'Connell has accepted an invitation to a public
dinner at Highbury Barn on the 30th.
During the late Glasgow election, a publican resident
in the suburbs, received a letter by the post, purporting
to have issued from the Tory candidate, authorizing him
to keep open house till the election was over. The land-
lord was of course in extacies ; threw open his doors ;
spread his tables with his best viands, and called on every
passing Tory voter to come and eat and drink as much
as he pleased. At the close of the election he went to
the Tory Committee-room, and presented to the candi-
date a bill as heavy as one of Dr. Philpotts's pamphlets.
or Sir James Graham's speeches ; when, lo ! to his in-
expressible astonishment he learned that the letter was
a forgery ! He has since been all but broken-hearted,
and hates the very mention of the word " Tory" as much
as the Devil is said to hate holy water.
The Post contains the following important intelli-
gence :—" Yesterday the Duke of Wellington and Sir
R. Peel walked arm-in-arm to the Houses of Parliament ;
and Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham came together
to the House of Commons on foot !" This is, indeed, a
momentous sign of the time ! No wonder our Contem-
porary records it with special particularity.
