ANOTHER TRIP ON THE EASTBRN UNION RAILWAY.
—Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, an engine and two carriages
(a first and second class) lett the Ipswich station, with several of the
directors, on its way to Brantham. There were present—J. C.
Cobbold, Esq., John Cobbold, Esq., J. Footman,
Esq., G. Josselyn,
Esq., A. 11. Bartlett, Esq., several ladies, as also some engineers
and townspeople. The party proceeded as far as Brantham, at which
place the company alighted and observed the progress of the works.
The directors then took a pest-chaise for London (for the purpose, as
We understand, of being present at some Parliamentary proceedings
In which this district is interested), and the other portion of the com-
pany again entered the carriages, and arrived safely at Ipswich at
a little before nine. The train would have proceeded to Colchester,
but the workmen were engaged on the line near to Minningtree, and
It was not deemed desirable to stop them in their operations. We
understand the whole line is in =fell better order.—lpnoich Express

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS DIRECTORY characterises this journal
as the " Ablest" of the " Popular Papers." It says there Is no
" Paper conducted with more talent or SlICCeSid," and that " it is
especially remarkable, not only for the great quantity of news it affords,
and the admirable arrangement of its matter—well illustrated by
accompanying observations—but for the ability and variety of its
original articles, in the form of leaders and letters. '1 he advantage
of this ability Is enhanced by its being displayed on other than mere
political questions, so that the range of topics is more large and gene-
Tally interestiag. Thus it is worth mentioning, that It was the only
paiy_T which, during the late controversy between the Press and in!
Ear, took up the case of the latter, in a series of letters marked b,
great talent."
