MONSTER TRAIN.—On Saturday d last, a train of
Crews,
composed of
101 waggons.
merchandise left Manchesters fo
weight was 600 tons, and its
length 1,550 feet. The 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.—Mancherter Guardian.
TUE 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 23d ; the Thermometer, highest,
or 83 deg. F. on 72, and lowest, 35 deg. and ion 92 ;
whilst the quantity of rain was 2.28 inch.
FOREIGN 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
a description of importation from the West Indies, for
any 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
Authorities; appears to be on the increase. From sus-
picions entertained by Mr. Watson, an officer of Excise,
be went to a house in Butler-street, where he disco-
vered a distillery, completely fitted up, on a scale calcu-
lated for carrying on a large business, with stills, worms,
heads, &c. The stills, at the time of the entrance
of 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
have existed for a considerable time.
COAST DEFENCES.—Orders have been received to
prepare thirty-three towers between Hastings and Sea-
ford to receive guns. When the towers were abandoned,
theonsidered no longer necessary as means of defence,
y were inhabited by men in the coast-guard service
and their families. The tops of the towers were cemented
tver in a dome form, up to the top of the spindle on
Which the swivel gun was fixed. The whole of that
Covering is ordered to be forthwith taken off, and a new
traversiag course of stone to be laid down.—Briyhten
Guardian.
ALARMIIIIG HIGII TlDE.—Yesterday the tide of
bli e river Thames rose to an alarming height, causing a
serious destruction of property situate in all the low-lying
aellars and warehouses near the water-side. At B anks;d e
and Lambeth the loss of property is very great. Many of
the dwellings of the poor dredgermen and others were
inundated with water for hours, compellingmany families
to leave their humble habitations until the water had
teen pumped out by the means of pumps, &c.
The
likewise visited Vauxhall, Nine Elms, Battersea,TWantdidse-
'worth, and Chelsea, where many of the market gar-
deners' and florists'
grounds were covered with water for
a considerable period, causing extensive damage to their
choice flowers and vegetables. The flood is mainly attri-
buted to the boisterous state of the weather.
A DUPED TRADESMAN.—A watchmaker resident
in ,the City required a temporary loan of 501., and, in
ordek" that as little delay as possible might be incurred,
adversised in one of the morning newspapers, stating
his wan, tB, and offering to deposit property immediately'
available as security, together with his note of hand,
payable in three months. The advertisement was an-
swered, and .a meeting at Garraway's to transact the
business was; Apcointed. The parties were soon in com-
munication. After some brief negotiatios, the un-
suspected loan-seeker deposited with the supposed lender
sundry gold watches and other valuables, together with
his note of hand for the stipulated sum, receivinw in re-
turn for the amount. a cheque upon an eminent 6banker
at the west end of the metropolis. It was soon pre-
sented, but the drawer was entirely unknown. The
Yatchmaker hastened b.aek, and ascertained that the
lender was also unknown there. Thus he was minus his
PreParty, and his note of hand, of which he will pro-
eably hear when it comes to maturity.
.t., THE VACANT BISHOPRICS.—The vacancy in the
'Pi
seepal Bench caused by the death of Dr. Carey, is not
Yet filled up, and it is presumed the arrangements con-
riected with the creation of the new see of Manchester
are still incomplete. Several names are before the public,
e_,l it must not be forgotten that Lords John Russell,
~e3', and Clarendon, all have brothers in the Church,
-mid that the appointment of any one of these reverend
Tri tlenaen woufd be generally acceptable to the
public.
Clergyman or deserved popularity is mentioned in
?well-informed circles as likely to be made bishop by the
Peen, on this or Si future occasion—we allude to the
and Rev. B. W. Noel.—Cambridge Advertiser.
