SOUTHEDID.—A tramway is now laid down on the
pier, and carriages have run about three weeks. At
present they are drawn by horse power, but it is ex-
pected a small engine will be substituted next spring.
Some doubt appears to exist, whether from the narrow-
ness of the pier this can be applied with safety to the
pedestrians. It is supposed to be the longest pier in
Europe, probably in the world, being one mile and a
quarter in length. The cost of its erection is stated at
42,0001., and it was sold about two years since to the
deputy chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany for 17,0001. There was an increase this season in
the number of persons landing at the pier of above ten
thousand, and above 30 acres of eligible building ground
contiguous to the terrace, has been purchased by the
railway company. Coverings for the carriages travers-
ing the pier are being prepared by the pier-master, Mr.
William Fox.-211aidstone Journal.

THE Loss OF THE ATLANTIC.—DEAL, MONDAY.—
A special court of the Cinque Ports Commissioners, in
pursuance of an order of the Duke of Wellington, the
chief warden, was held here, at the Registrar's-office, for
the purpose of rewarding the services of the crew of the
l'rince of Wales lugger of this port, who, in the most
praiseworthy manner, at the imminent risk of their own
lives, rescued the crew and remainder of the passengers
of the Bremen ship Atlantic, which was wrecked on the
Goodwin Sands on the night of the 14th instant. The
Court having complimented the crew of the Prince of
Wales on their noble conduct on this occasion in saving
life, awarded them 41/. 14s. Their names are A.
Trott,‘ W. Trott, G. Bailey, J. Trott, T. Trott, 11.
Baker, D. liirkadle, S. Trott, S. Pritchard, and J.
Wilkins.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT SUNDERLAND.--SUN'
DEftLAND, WEDNESDAY.—This town was thrown yes-
terday afternoon into a state of excitement by a report
that an attempt had been made to shoot Thomas Green-
wood, the foreman at the Railway-wharf, by a seaman
on board a French vessel alongside. Unhappily the
statement was too true, and the shot having taken effect
on poor Greenwood's forehead and penetrated the skull,
he is now lying in a very precarious state, and, in fact,
without any hope of his surviving many hours. It sr pears the French ship had taken up a position at the
wharf out of turn, and the crew had refused to move
away. Greenwood was directed to unloose the mooring
ropes, when the mate levelled a double-barrelled gun at
him and fired. The culprit then skulked below, but was
followed by a police-officer and others, when he again
levelled his gun at the officer, but was secured before be
could fire it. The master interfered to prevent his car
tare, but both were taken to the police-station to await
the fate of Greenwood. The gun on examination was
found to have one barrel loaded.
HERRING TRADE..—.WICK, NOVEMBER 3.—Within
the past fortnight a good many sales of cured fish have
been privately effected, at 16s. per barrel, full crown
brands. Low as this price is, and entailing a lois to the
curer, it is even better than to run the risk of still lower
returns from consigning the herrings. The estimated
quantity on hand here, for sale, is about 3,000 barrels,
a much smaller number than has been usual at the same
date for several years. Holders at distant markets need
not, therefore, be afraid of any extensive importation',
so far as Wick is concerned. Letters from Hamburgh
are written in a desponding tone; those from Stettin
are in much the same strain as or some weeks back.
The unsettled state of the Continent will prevent prices
from rising, and holders may congratulate themselves
if a contrary state of matters do not take place.—Ross-
shire Advertiser.
Two young soldiers were brought lately before a
court-martial in Paris, to be tried for insubordination.
One of them had tatooed on his forehead the words
"Pas de chance," and the other the words "Cabot,
Thor 6, Raspail." These words had been tatooed in
prison, but no explanation was given before the court on
the subject.
