MISCELLANEOUS.

On the late drainage of an estate at Withiel, in Somer-
setshire, two oak trees, in sound condition, were found
beneath the 'earth, supposed to have been prostrated ages
ago by some convulsion. It is more remarkable, since
the soil of Withiel is unfavourable to the oak, and scarce
one of any size is in the neighbourhood.
Feargus O'Connor and Bronterre O'Brien have, dining
the past week, been honoured with public processions,
dinners, and soirees, in Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, and Sheffield.
The Right Hon. Francis Blackburn has been ap-
pointed Attorney-General, and E. Peunefather, Esq.,
Solicitor-General for Ireland.
The house in the Green Park, occupied by the late
Lady Gordon, is to be removed forthwith, in order to
carry into effect the proposed improvements.
Last week upwards of 28,000 letters were delivered
in seven days at Brighton, which is nearly 4;000 more
than were ever delivered in one week in the town.
The increase is attributed to the extraordinary influx of
visitors since the opening of the railroad.
The largest train which has yet passed along the
Brighton Railroad, was that which left Brighton on
Tuesday last at eleven. It was propelled by two engines,
and consisted of 19 railway carriages, carrying 146 pas-
sengers, five private carriages, and five horses.
At the Westminster Registration Court this day, the
