Mechi, determined to carry out his principle of being in the tureino.i
rank, has brought out some most superh and novel specimens in Papier
Mache. Finding it impossible to display them advantageously in hi,. former space, he has, at considerable expense, fitted up a splendi.•
Show Room, to which he invites all those who are desirous or seeing
the most brilliant specimens this country can produce. It is not ex-
pected that visitors will purchase. although of course Mechi will be
quite happy to tempt his customers, and supply their wants. His
principle is, and always will be, to exchange or return the money for
any article purchased of him that may be disapproved. This binds
him to quality. He has always found that his customers never le4ve
him, because they are always satikfied. Among the recherche speci- ,
mens of Papier Mache, articles will be found. some decorated with
admirable copies of Edwin Landseer's most popular and modern
paintings, together with some exquisite landscapes of Windsor Castle,
Virginia Water, the Isle of Wisht.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.
A special meeting of this company was held on Satur-
day, at Plymouth, Mr. T. Gill, in the chair ; at which
the copies of two Bills were submitted for the ap-
proval of the shareholders one for the con-
struction of railways to Tavistock and Laun-
ceston, and for extensions to Torquay and Bi ix-
ham, capital 550,0001; the other for making an altera-
tion in the Cornwall Railway, amending Act, and for
leasing line. The additional clauses introduced into the
Bills, and approved at the last meeting, were also sub-
mitted—one authorised the contribution of 15,0001.
towards the Great Western Docks.

After some discussion, the amended Bills were
agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to a question, that
probably they would be enabled to open the line
to Totness in a month, and work it by the atmo-
spheric system ; that as soon as the line could
be opened to Plymouth, it was intended to use loco•
motive power on that portion until the atmospheric
was ready; that the tunnel at Matley was the principal
work to be completed before they could open to Ply-
mouth, which they hoped to do about Christmas ; that
the treaty for the purchase of the Plymouth and Dart
moor Railway had been broken off; and that 5/. per
share would shortly be called up on the half share..
MONTEREAU AND TROYES RAILWAY.

A general meeting of the shareholders was held at
Paris, •on the 17th instant. The report stated that. since
the last meettntr, the works had progressed consiier-
ably, that 53 kilometres (thirty-three English mil••s)
would be ready for opening next Au,..:ust, and the re-
mainder of the line, 49 kilometres, (thirty ene miles)
by March. 1848; that land and bri ges were provided
for a double line, but rails and slidings for a single
line; that out of 2,735 proprietors of land. the company
came to amicable arrangements with 2,651; that the
sum paid for the land required for the line did not ex-
ceed
23.000 f. per kilometre, being less than half the
average price paid by other French railway companies ;
and that the con‘truction of the working stock was
proceeding rapidly. The engineer's report stated
that the works along the line were in a very satisfactory
and advanced state, and that ample materials have b• en
supplied. The accounts show that the receipt amounted
to 11,858,303 f. (474,3321), and the expenditure t.•
7.888,129 f. (315,5250, leaving 2,282,3321. (91,2930
in cash, and 1,687,8421. (67,5131.) in caution money and
other assets.

This report and accounts were unanimously adopted.

We understand. that Mr. Disraeli will be a candi-
date at the next general election for the representation
of Buckinghamshire.

of
stating themselves to have been saved from a ship burned
1.
at sea. The account given by the parties was circum-
stantial enough; but, unfortunately for the credulity cf
our northern neighbours and the parties most interested.
it turns out to be a gross fabrication. The Inverness
Journal says --'• The parties are still inmates of the in-
firmary; but all the ingenuity with which they concocted
their tale of suffering was not sufficient to shield
their
imposture from the suspicion of Mr. Macbean, our super-
intendent of police. He chanced to be in the country
when they arrived in town; but, on hearing the nature
of their statements, be pronounced them false, and com-
menced his inquiries. Tracing them from Bruly, lie
found that they had regaled themselves with three halt
murchkins of whisky at B igroy Inn, very likely to pre
pare them for their debut at Inverness. Mr. Macbesn
has since learned from his subordinate at Camplp how /I
that some time ago persons answering to the description
of the impostors were crossed at Fort George ferry to ,
Ross-shire. The Campbeltown officer is expected in
town to morrow, when be will confront them in order to.
their identification. We hope that this gross attempt to
tamper with public sympathy will be punished with such
a severity as will really deter others from committing the
like offences in future.'

s'e have delightful growing weather
- The whe. ria'itt.' has improved inonderxully
both in Devon Ad Cornwall, and all Mtber grain
crops are excellent. Potatoes are looking healthy,
• . are coming up strong. Grass is very, luxuriant,
an. he country looks well. We are'at present pay-
ing high prices for corn ; but let us look forward
with cheerfulness, as, according to- some accounts,
we have yet a prospect of plenty.-- West Briton.
CARMAZTRENIIIIIRE.—The crops of wheat in this
part of the country (owine to the late genial rains
and warmer weather) are greatly -improved ; the
early sown spring corn has also t
a present a very
healthy appearance,— WeAhman.
Another most congenial week ; .the appearance of
the country becomes daily more delightful. We
never recollect to have seen 'a more genial " hit "
than the pear trees everywhere promise; the blossom
has fallen, and the fruit is clustered like grapes. The
apple trees are also blooming heautifullY, And as the
blossom is so late, the fruit is now confidently ex-
pected to " knit" and stand. The beneficial effects
of the nun are rapidly becoming more obvious; the
wheats, especially on the cold lands, are greatly imp
proved; the blade opens more vigorously, and as„„ •
sutnes a darker hue, a sign of health. The Lent
grains, in fact, both field and garde-n, are manifestly
encouraging signs of a bountitul future.--Rereford
Times.
We have had another week of glorious weather for
vegetation, which has pro,greAsed with surprising ra-
pidity within this dis•rict during the last few days,.
abundant-irrigating .showers of rain having fallen
each successive day ; and all that is now heard com-
plained of by the agriculturists is the want of a little
more seasonable warmth. INTe continue to hear the

potato crop spoken of with great hopes of success,
both' n quantity and quality, while the grain crop is
Aving every uppearance of being a bountiful one.—
Kendal Mercury.
Tue weather has . been very seasonable since our
last. Much rain fell 'on Saturday evening and Sun-
.lay morning. The electrometer indicated a day or
two pr.-vioutay a very disturbed state pf the electri-
cal fluid in the atmosphere, VegretatiOh'ie- -making
rapid progress, and in Worc‘=ster,hire there can be no
doubt but that the crops of every description, as far
V; they have gone' are in the melt prom . promising state
Worcester Herald.
Upon the who.e, ther'e is promise of. an abundant
if not an early hirveat. Uu so.rn-- lands which are
undrained, and in the wheat fields .thfch were. last
.year clover, the plant certainly look:-rather thin ; but
,ha very warm and genial weather`vvhich we have ex-
perienced for the last week has given it, a luxuriant
appearance, and the titlering out or ex!ension of the
plant is taking place int*t satisfacrorily. - 'The oats
and barley are well up. and p'-chaps in no previous
year has the promise 01 abundance been greater or
more encouraginz. It is an old saying that a late
wring, preceded by a ~,,vere winter, generally uo..it--rs
iu a fruitful an this year, the two premises
have been fulfilled, werna,t hope that the !tatne con-

du4on may occur. If the weather should continue
wprm, it is not yet too late for us to have a harvest
not protracted beyond the average season.-boner
Chronkle.

The extreme high prices to which the grain markets
throughout the kinj'd',m ti,ve risen, and the exising
probability of sill further increase taking place,
threatening almost a famine in the cOltietty, naturally
:mikes the gro sing crops of the season a sulj-ct of
.inxious consideration. It gives us great pleasure in
iieing able to state that, so far as we have learned, the
crops in this and the adjoining county of Westmore-
land bear a most favourable aspect; wheat, oats, and
barley, were perhaps never, of late years, known to
:ook better. The wheat, it was reared, would have
suffered considerably from the virulence of the frost
(which often has the effect of thinning it) during
winter; but it has withstood the attack in a re-
markable manner, and gives every prospect of
being a plentiful crop. The wet weather during
March and the beginning of April greatly retarded
the farmers in preparing their land fur sowing the oats
and barley; hut notwithstanding this. those crops are
in a much more forward state than last year, and the
extent of growth appears to he somewhat more than
the usual average. During the last ten days or a
fortnight every kind of vegetation ha; sprung forward
with an amax:rig rapidity ; the pastut4s and meadows,
which before bore hut a very bare appearance, are in
most places very fill of grass, and the hedges and
trees are fist assuming their summer garb. Tho
fruit trees hold out every promise of a good crop, the
gooseberry trees in the gardens are superabundantly
clad, and if the r pple and pear trees are not visited to
any extent by the insect., there will be a good crop
of those fruits.—Carlisle Journal.
THE Hors IN KENT.—Maidstone—The hops are
now growing fast, after the warm showers; the tyers
are engaued everywhere, and will be troubled to get
them to the poles fast enough. At this place the flea
has laid hard upon them, but they are now getting
away from the flea. The hops are rather late this
year, but there seems to be a great deal of vigour in
the plant. Wateringbury —The hops never had a
more healthy appearance, nor grew faster. Some
grounds were infested with th flea at first, but the
late warm weather has en.hleJ the bine to grow
completely away from them. Canterbury The
showers which we have had in the past week, with
somewhat warmer weather, have proved highly bene-
ficial to every kind of vegetation. The hops, par-
taking of the genial influence, have also made good
progress; but we perceive that they are not yet all
poled, the backwardoesa.of the season not having re-
quired this operation so early as usual.

hMw the fire began. John Scott, engineer at Watling-
street fire-station, said he was called to the premises at
ten minutes past eleven o'clock. He repaired imme-
diately to the place with a couple of engines, and he
found the shop on tire, and the heat was so intense that
he could not stand upright. The flames were then
burning round the shop. Witnes, got on his knees, and
