The Earl of Ashburnham being in the constant
habit of receiving applications from parties desirous of
visiting the house and gardens at Ashburnham, and of
inspecting the royal relics of Ashburnhamchurch, inti-
mates to the public generally, and particularly to par-
ties residing in the county
of Sussex, that they are
henceforth at liberty to view the same on applying at the
lodge gate on the Nindfiele road, between the hours of
ten and two o'clock, every Monday and Thursday.
Lord Ashburnham particularly requests of visitors that
they will confer no gratuities whatever on his servants.
Respectable parties are permitted to shoot as usual on
the outlying lands at Ashburnham, on sending their
cards in to the bailiff's house on the Nindfield road.—

ASSOCIATION FOR Tilt AID AND BENEFIT OF
DRESSMAKERS AND MILLI/IL".
—Yesterday evening a
meeting of the committee and others connected with the
above association was held at their office in Clifford-
street, Bond-street, for the transaction of general bu-
siness. The report stated During last year 1,217
young persons were registered, of whom 467 were pru-
vided with situations. Medical relief afforded to 83, and
pecuniary relief to the amount of 591. 15s. 6d. The
members of the provident fund are daily increasing, and
much good had been effected In reducing the hours of
labour, and the general funds of the institution were fa-
vourable ; but, with the extensive objects in view, re-
quire additional aid. During the last few months a
number of advertisements bad appeared in the public
journals for young persons to go out as dressmakers,
&c., to the various colonies, and other parts of the con-
tinent, represented under the most favourable opportu-
nities, but the society discovered that these advertise-
ments had been used for the purpose of entrapping
young females, and by their active counteraction have
prevented the completion of such nefarious schemes ;
and saved many interesting females from destruction."
The society is under the patronage of her Majesty the
Queen Dowager.
FOLKsTONE.—During the performance on Friday
evening, at Batty's circus, a portion of the boxes, upon
which about 200 persons were sitting, fell down with a
tremendous crash, precipitating the whole of them on
the grass beneath. The screams of women and children,
and the rushing of hundreds to the entrance, was ap-
palling. We are, however, happy to state that no inju-
ries were sustained beyond a few bruises. After order
had been somewhat restored, the performances con-
tinued. The cause of the accident was the unevenness
of the ground upon which the seats were erected.

time occupied by railway from Paris to Havre, although
120 miles only, was six hours and a half.
