INFLUENCE OF RAILWAYS IN DEVELOPI*
THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF A CouNTRY.—On our r a
cent trip to Darlington, at the opening of the Great
North of England Railway, the probable influence of
that undertaking on the commercial, interests of the
district through which it passes was naturally a sub-
ject of inquiry. While obtaining informatiou as to this
point, in reference to the line just completed, we Icaraed a
number of facts its relation to several of the previously ex-
isting northern railways, which appear worthy of being re-
corded to illustrate the power of those great means of com-
munication to develope the resources of a country. Belore
the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Rath; ay, the
export trade in coals might be said to be confined to the
rivers Tyne and Wear. Ti.a• railway was originated chiefly
lt
loy. s n
The the
nen ti t
uur-
in order to supply the wants of the district it traverses its
reference to fuel; and the estimate then made of the pro-
bable quantity of coals which would poss along the
extort annually,

be
ons
no:v carried by the Company is, for the neighbouring
dis-
tricts, 130,000 ton,; for exportation, 560,000
ton
Ir. the meantime, the Clarence Railway, t s eng on the
Tees, has been brought into operation, rmioatiandcontributes to the
coals exported probably not less than 1 ;0,000 tons per an-
num. At a later period the Ma • rquis of Londonderry con-
structed his harbour of Seahaan' a port about four miles
south of Sunderland ; it is difficult to state the quantity
thence exported yearly, but it probably exceeds 300,000 tons.
At a still more ieeent period,
the ancient fishing town Of
Hartlepool has become the scene of the expert of a still.
larger u. q antity. How striking is the contrast between the
state of Durham at the present time, and et the period
when Domesday Book a as compiled ! The amount of money
annually received within 30 miles of Darlington, fur coals
alone, may be roughly stated at four millions sterling (cf
course this area embraces Newcastle and its vicinity); but
a large proportion of this enormous revenue flows into that
county, which nothing better could be sail by the sur-
veyors of William the Conqueror, than " Durham is
waste."--Leeds
A ROYAL FIDDLER.—TIic Monarch uniformly
reached the bottom of the page long before the•other per-
formers, then, stopping short, he would fold his arms, and
shrug his shoulders, wick an expression, which, if rendered
into words, would seem to stigmatise his companions al a
set of " lazy dogs !" At first no notice was taken of this ;
on the corm ary, the other fiddlers tried bard to keep pace
with the King, as the leader of an orchestra sterns to fol-
low a singer. But all in lain The second fiddle, and
the two other instruments, were always behind, as a matter
of cou..se. At length, as the first fiddle showed
no
symp-
toms of relaxing its speed, Boucher grew sroneal
rat im-
patient, and fe,:ling himself sov •
a a ga enouoti lir his own
tot to be able to treat the King on equal terms, cinder the
circumstances, intimated to his prima tehra", -. of
counting the rests. " Count rests I" exclaimeed the offended
prime, remembering tha; he was a Kinjust at the mo-
ment when he should have forgotten itg " Count rests !
Do you expect, Inc to condescend to the drudgery of
counting rests, ?, —Theodore Hook's French Siege.
Too GREEDY.--.Our readers must have seen,
for some days pa,t, in the newspapers, and plentifelly
posted on the walls of the city, au advertisement an-
nouncieg a reward of 50/. for the recovery of 1,0001. in
bank notes " lost in Miller-street." When this announce-
ment came before the public, it was well known to many
that the 1,0001. is bank notes was lost by a person in one
of the banks, who had given away this large sum by mis-
take, in the course of bank business; and it is now con-
fidently rumoured, that the money has baen recovered in
a very singu'ar manner. After the appearance of
the advertisement, it is said that an anonyrnols
letter was received, inquiring if the reward would
be increased, on the delivery of the money ; Atd to
this an answer, couched in the negative, was given through
one of the newspapera. The handwriting of this epistle is,
however, alleged to have excited, or rather to have strength-
ened, susp.cion against a young man employed by a re-
s-r-ectab!e firm in town, and measures were initantly taken
to get at the truth. There, rumour says, hale been so
successful, that the whole of the money has been recovered
by the Bark, much to the relief of vile individual by whom
the mistake was committed, end to whom the circumstarn e
has, no doubt, caused much disquietude. There are va-
rious contLetieg versions of this story in circulation, but
the above, we ly,:lieve, contains the main facts Of the case.
