NORTH KENT RAILWAY.—There has just been pub-
lished, by order of the House of Commons, a statement in
support of the partition from the parish of Camberwell against
the North Kent Railway Bill. The petitioners, among other
reasons against the Bill, urge that it will require the demoti
tien of 640 houses in Southwark, Lambeth, and their
vicinities, and that it will pass close to several churches and
places of worship, and urge that as there has been issued a
Royal Commis ion to consider the question ~f Metropolitan
railways and termini, the North Kent line should be referred to
that commissien, a recommendation which is supported by
the authority of Sir R. Peel, who declared, that were ,he
Chairman of the Committee of Group 14, he should suspend
his judgment en the Metropolitan portion of the North Kent
line until that Commission had reported on the sue jest.
Various other reasons are urged against the scheme, and the
petitioners declare that they are ready to support every
material ailegation by the evidence of persons unconnected
either with the North Kent Railway or with any of the
rival schemes.
Wr! 'lsere°. by an advertisement in our paper of this
day, that Mr. Carter, the Lion King, is exhibiting his Mam-

deserves. ... . . . .
IMPROVED TASTE AMONGST THE EAST.ENDEIM
The vast advance which the people at the East-end of the
town are making in literary taste is a source of frequent con-
versation in the City. Mr. Charles Kemble read
Shakespeare's play of " As you Like it," on Easter Tuesday,
to an immense audience at the splendid building in the
Commercial-road, called " the Eastern Institution," and,
amidst loud cheers, he announced that on Tue,day next he
would read the play of " Hamlet" in the same room, which
he considers admirably adapted to the occasion.

The price cf potatoes in Ennis is now a per stone,
and as none are offered that are not diseased, an additionalpenny may
be added for waste. Oatmeal is 24. 3d. a stone,
er at the rate cf ISI. per ton. The Clare Journal calls on the
11,lief Committee of the town at once to make an effort to
reduce the
price of provisions, and says they can easily do
so if they please.
'1 he greatest distress prevails, the articles
of food being altogether out of the reach of the tradespeople
and working classes, moat of whom are unemployed. The
same journal also recommends the bakers to introduce house-
hold bread into the shops.—Cork Examiner.
An extraordinary phenemenon took place on the 13th
ult., at Karol
1,800 feet high, situ.ited at the entranze of the defile of
Bele. Y, in Hungary. Mount Mormentzee, about
oe, suddenly slit in two, and stopped up the course of
the river running through the hollow. The whole country
above the place where the earth fell was immediately flooded.
Tun MURDER OF M It. Means.—Afar various r.,-
mands, the magistrates have decided on committing Sheriff
and
Mddle to Oxford gaol for trial, for the wilful murder of
''r. Mold's. The evidence of the accomplice Skerry is
straightforward and appears very conclusive, and in addi-
tion there are evidence of a circumstantial character strongly
corroborative of Skerrv's evidence. It appears that the pri-
soners murdered Mr. Mobbs because he was watching them ;
that Sleeves was near at band at the time; that he objected
to it; that they robbed Mr. Mobbs after they had beat him
c'
and pulled him o:1' his horse; that on the following, morning
Skerry had ss. of the money; that he was threatened with
d ate: if he split; and that the affair so preyed on Skerry'.-mind that now, at the expiration of about three years, he
" determined en telline• all he knew."
