MONSTER TRAIN.—On Saturday last, a train of
merchandise left Manchester for Crewe, composed of
101 waggons. Its gross, weight was 690 tons, and its
length 1,550 feet. Ihe distance, 30 miles, was accom-
plished in two hours and nine minutes, being at the rate
of fourteen miles per hour, over gradients varying from
1 in 377 to 1 in 880.—Illanche?ler Guardian.
TIIE WEATHER.—The meteorological register kept
at the gardens of the Horticultural Society of Chiswick
during the past month, gives some curious results of the
fluctuations of temperature within that period. From
'September 12 to October 6, the Barometer was highest,
or 30.382 inch on the 12th of September ; and lowest,
or 29.350 inch on the 23.1 ; the 'Thermometer, highest,
or 83 deg. F. on 72, and lowest, 35 deg. and 2- on 92 ;
whilst the quantity of rain was 2.28 inch.
PORRIGN BRICKS.—A vessel from Tobago, West
India Islands, has brought the large number of 20,000
bricks, in addition to the usual description of cargo, but
which, by the ship's official report, appear to be intended
for re-shipment to a foreign country. However, so novel
Is description of importation from the West Indies, for
ftnY Purpose, is remarkable.
:SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.--Information
has been received by the Commissioners of Excise of the
seizure of an extensive illicit distillery in Manchester,
Which illegal traffic, notwithstanding the vigilance of the
hi4lllhOritieS, appears to be on the increase. From sus-
cions entertained by Mr. Watson, an officer of Excise,
e went to a house in Butler-street, where he
lat disco-
'vered a distillery, completely fitted up, on a scale calcu-
ed fur carrying on a large business, with stills, worms,
bends, &e. The stills, at the time of the entrance
°f the officers, were in full work, and two men, who
gave the names of Davis and Ryley, were attending to
them. They were, at the moment of detection, running
through the stills low wines, known to the trade as
`faints." From the appearance of the fittings-up of the
distillery, it is believed that this contraband trade must
'lave exi-ted for a considerable time.
PCOAST DEFENCES.—Orders have been received to
repare thirty.three towers between Hastings and Sea-
"d to receive guns. When the towers were abandoned,
c„! c o receive o longer necessary as means of defence,
14°Y were inhabited by men in the coast-guard service
41b1 their families. The tops of the towers were cemented
,I)°,_cr in a dome form, up to the top of the spindle on
"rxich the swivel gun was fixed. The whole of that
covering is ordered to be forthwith taken off, and a new
terrdsiiaelf. course of stone to be laid dowr. —Brighton
ALARMING HIGH TIDE. —Yesterday the tide of
s,
to o river Thames rose to an alarming height, causing a
ri°l.ls destruction of property situate in all the low-lytndg eillars and warehouses near the water-side. At Banksi e
and Lambeth the loss of property is very great. Many of
t
4e dwellings of the poor dredgermen end others Tea inundated with water for hours, compelling many fami
50 leave their bumble habitations until the water had
likewise visited Vauxhall, Nine Elms, Battersea, Wands-
syorth, and Chelsea, where many of the market gar-
adener.s' and florists' grounds were covered with water for
e_eo.nsiderable period, causing extensive damage to their
.hoice flowers and vegetables. The flood is mainly attri-
buted to the boisterous state of the weather.
.11 A Dupe]) TRADESMAN.---A watchmaker resident
the City required a temporary loan of 50/, and, in
order that as little delay as o ibl might be incurred,
advertised in one of the morningsse newspapers, statingdiately
his wants, and offering to deposit
available as security, together wiruartynoi
note of hand,
Payable in three months. The advertisement was an-
business and a meeting at Garraway's to transact the
lousiness was appointed. The parties were soon in com-
munication. After some brief negotiaios, the un-
suspected loan-seeker deposited with the supposed lender
!t!ndry gold watches and other valuables, together with
Is note of hand for the stipulated sum, receiving in re-
turn fur the amount a cheque upon an eminent banker
at the west end of the metropolis. It was soon pre-
wsented, but the drawer was entirely unknown. The
atehmalcer hastened back, and
lender was also unknown there. Tascertained that thehus he was minus his
property, and his rote of hand,
of ably hear when it comes to maturitywhich he will pro-
