UNITED SERVIGE MUSEUM.

It not being generally known that this institution
is, during the week, thrown open to the public with-
out orders from the members, was, possibly, the cause
of there not being so many visitors as we should be
led to suppose, though more, however, visited it
yesterday than on the corresprnding day of last
year, there being 1,100 persons who availed them-
selves of the opportunity to inspect this valuable
museum. The company was highly respectable, and
testified much satisfaction with the various articles of
curiosity exhibited in the institution.
London, England, 1847-04-06

87'. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.

This noble pile, notwithstanding its numerous
attractions, had, as on former occasions, but compara-
tively few visitors, in consequence of the still con-
tinued high charges (nearly ss. each person) closing
the doors against all but the wealthy.

TVESTIIIINSTER ABBEY.
Notwithstanding the magnificence of the monu-
ments within this venerable edifice, accessible as they
have latterly become for the small sum of 6d., yet the
number of visitors, from some cause or oter (per-
haps from the regulations being somewhat too strin-
gent), did not exceed the usual holiday average of
about 400.

The East India llouse, Missionary, and other mu-
seums accessible by free tickets, were numerously
attended ; and a fair share of public patronage was
obtained by the proprietors of the Regent's Park and
Surrey Zoological Gardens, the Diorama, Panorama,
Cosmorama, Society of British Artists, Madame Tus-
saud's, Polytechnic, &c.

THE EASTER FAIRS.

Yesterday the usual saturnalia held at this season
commenced at Greenwich, Stepney, Wandsworth,
Chalk Farm, the Chalk-road, Islington, and Brook-
green, Hammersmith. Richardson's (now Name
Lee's), Algar's Crown and Anchor, and a host of
minor candidates for histrionic and Terpsichorean
fame, occupied their usual positions at Greenwieb,
which was thronged during the day with countless
thousands from the metropolis. Stepney, the next
in magnitude, was also well attended, and the others
received a proportionate share of public favour ; the
whole of-them being under the control of the police,
who caused the amusements to terminate precisely at
eleven.

WRESTLING AT THE BRECKNOCK ARMS,
CAMDEN-TO I VN.

Yesterday being Easter Monday, the proprietor
of the above premises threw them open' according to
annual custom, for the display of the Cornwall and
Devon wrestling, and offered a silver tankard, cup,
and snuff-box for competition, as Ist, 2d, and 3d
prizes. The wrestling was in the Cornish style,
without shoes. We should mention, that a man to
gain the fall must threw his opponent on two
shoulders and a pin, i. e. hip, or two pins and a
shoulder, and that every wrestler to become a
" standard," or entitled to wrestle the second time
over, must throw his first antagonist, and either fairly
" grass " the second, or " play " him for ten minutes.
The following men, after some severe bouts, were
ranked as standards :—Partridge, of Devon, Clarke,
of Cornwall, Gager, Ball, and Dassett, also of Corn-
wall, and Toegood, Kemp, and Snell, of Devon. The
play will be resumed to-morrow at two o'clock. It
is expected that Sayer and Ellicomb, provincial stars,
will enter, and if matched against the elite of the
London wrestlers, will make the result a matter of
pleasing uncertainty. Messrs. Olver and Steers
were the umpires, and the sports gave satisfaction to
a large assembly.

COLOSSEUM.

The doors of this splendid establishment were yes-
terday opened to the public at a reduced price of ad-
mission, and the new system appeared to be rewarded
with deserved success, upwards of 1,000 visitors
having hen present in the course of the day and
evening. The entertainments comprised the pano-
ramas of London, by night and day ; the exhibition
of sculpture, stalactite caverns, prize cartoons,
&c., which have already acquired their need of po-
pularity among the sight. seers from town and
country.

TOWER OF LONDON.
About 1,500 persons inspected the Horse and
Queen Elizabeth's Armouries, with the Regalia, &c.,
inci no doubt the charge for admission to the whole
being now only Is., the number will far exceed the
above amount on future similar occasions.

LraISE OR puncnr-sz).

This Bill was next taken,

Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., on behalf of the promoters, sub-
mitted two clauses in room of the running clause, intro-
duced on a farmer occasion, at the instance of the Airdrie and
litonklands line. As the Wishaw and Coltness constituted a
portion of the main route of the Caledonian line, through,
which its main traffic would have to pass, the greatest in-
Convenience would arise if an independent. company and
management were allowed to run a heavy mineral
traffic over it. He proposed, as a substitute, that in no
case should the rates on the Wishaw and Coltness be raised
beyond their present amount, and that if at any time the
rates were reduced on the Glasgow and Garnkirk
line a corresponding reduction should be made on the
Wishaw and Coltness. If the object of the Airdrie and
3lonklands Company was protection to their traffic alone
this proposition ought to have satisfied them.
Mr. WHATELsv replied, contending that no new reasons
had been given why the Committee should alter their deci-
sion. Ile denied that any obstruction would arise from the
operation of the running clause.
Mr. Sergeant Wit:INGHAM replied, and went on to show
that the present case was different to others in which running
clauses had been introduced.
The room was then cleared for a decision.
On the admission of the parties,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee had decided
not to alter the running clause in the Bill as it stood.
The Committee then adjourned.
