A most unfortunate affair occurred shortly after the
last race on Thursday. A respectable innkeeper, of
Sunning, named Dell, irritated at an unprovoked insult
offered to his wife, by a man whose name has not been
ascertained, knocked him down; the blow unhappily
took effect under the ear, and death ensued instan-
taneously. We understand Mr. Dell has been admitted
to bail.

Mr. Edward M'Dermott, who was charged at
Marylebone Police Court on Thursday with having pre-
sented a pistol at a gentleman in a railway-carriage on
the London and Birmingham Railway, but discharged
on account of the offence having been committed beyond
the jurisdiction of the Court, was brought before the
magistrates at Rugby yesterday, when the case was dis-
missed.

GRAVESEND R AILWAY.—A tunnel through the
road, from Newcross to Deptford, is now excavated, and
a traject or passage to join the Greenwich branch is
making with the soil from the cuttings. Considerable
difficulty seems to occur in working the line through the
bill on the Amersham property, south of the main road.
'rho land springs flow at the depth of 17 or 18 feet,
faster than the engineers had expected, consequently the
working of the cutting is delayed. It is necessary to
pump away the water to prevent the inundation of the
tunnel and low parts of the line. The spectators, who
are not geologists or engineers, consider the great quan-
tity of water on the soil of this high ground a remark-
able occurrence, because the adjoining land north of
the road is low enough to drain the upper parts. It no
doubt had that effect to a certain extent, as the fields in
the valley havelong produced the finest vegetables brought
to the London markets. This arduous work will, it
is said, occupy at least two years.

THE CHARTIST DISTURBANCES.—Yesterday, the
tradesmen, supported by noblemen and gentlemen,in-
habitants of St. George's, Hanover-square, and its
neighbourhood, feeling deeply the injurious effects pro-
duced on all classes of her Majesty's subjects by the
continued illegal meetings and processions of large
bodies of people, resolved to memorialise her Majesty to
cause the laws to be put in force against the seditious
leaders and abettors of such meetings and processions,
and to pray that her Majesty will command the Exe-
cutive to use the most stringent measures for the imme-
diate suppression of the same.
