THE GALE OF FRIDAY.
THE SOUTH DEVON LINE STOPPED.
The weather since midnight has been exceedingly
boisterous, and this morning blew a furious gale from
the south and south- east. Every storm at once calls
people's attention to the South Devon Railway, and we
regret to hear that the line is again in peril from the
gale. The timber truck of Mr. Hennett, the con-
tractor, came safely up as far as the boat house at Pow-
derham-park this morning, there a vessel had broken
from her moorings in the river, and been driven with
great force against the railway, causing considerable
damage to the wall, and leaving the vessel in such a
position that her bowsprit was directly across the line;
the breaks were put on by the driver, but it was impos-
sible to stop the train, which came with such force
against the bowsprit as to cut it in two; with this ex-
ception, the train arrived sa,e at the station. The first
up-train was started from Teignmouth at the usual hour,
and passed safely over the scene of the last &Baster near
the Holcombe tunnel, and arrived at Dawlsh and pro-
ceeded up the line; on arriving at the other side of Lang-
ston Cliff, the line was found to be covered by the sea,
and much washed from the fury of the waves beating
over it. It was, therefore, deemed advisable not to run
the risk of passing, until the tide had receded suffi-
ciently to ascertain the nature of the damage done.
The train was therefore backed to Teignmouth,
and as it again passed over the damaged part at
Holcombe, it was apprehended that from the violence of
the gale and the height of the tide, it would be perilous
to again attempt to pass it. The line is then fore for the
present altogether closed, until the damage done can be
clearly ascertained, and the traffic between the
station and Teignmouth is carried on by coaches
and omnibuses. This is the second interrup-
tion which this line has sustained since its
opening in May, both interruptions having occurred
at spring tides. It must, however, be borne in mind
that the damage done by the last gale has not been
efficiently repaired. General Pasley, the Government
Inspector, arrived in this city this morning, and at once
proceeded to the scene of disaster. Since writing the
above, we understand that it is not likely the working of
the line will be resumed for some days. In the mean-
time every vehicle is put in requisition, and the company
are conveying passengers, between Teignmouth and
Exeter at railway fares, an expensive game for them,
and a very inconvenient one for the public. No less than
five vehicles arrived at the Red Cow Station, some time
after one to- day, about five minutes after the up train
had started, although the superintendant, Mr. Ashbee,
had delayed the train a quarter of an hour.— Western

The Queen has presented to the Duchess of Inver-
ness a pension on the Privy Purse, and there will be no
addition, in consequence, to the Pension List, as has been
erroneously asserted in some newspapers.—Observer.
PEARS.—TWO extraordinary pears, grown this year
in the garden of the Rev. W. George, of Cherington
Park, have been shown to us, as remarkable for their
size and beauty—one of which measures upwards of 18
inches in girth, 18 inches long way, and weighs 2lbs.
4ioz.; the other, 14 inches in girth, upwards of 18 inches
the long way, and weighs 21bs, and half an ounce ; they
are of the culinary sort.—A parsnip was dug from the
same garden this year, measuring round the crown 194
inches, 2 feet in length, and weighing albs. 4oz.—Glou-
cester Journal

SCRATCHED WORK IN BLACK AND WHITE, FOR
EXTERNAL DECORATION.—Of fresco applied to external
decoration many specimens exist, and sgrafito or
scratched work, consisting of a thin coat of white plas-
ter over a black ground, which white plaster being re-
moved or scratched through, in forms similar to a
hatched drawing, produced an effect approaching to bas-
relief, was also employed by Polidoro da Caravaggio on
the exterior of buildings. But fresco was extensively
employed on the outside of even private dwelling-houses,
and among the eminent names of the artists who exe-
cuted them are those of Titian and Tintoretto.—The
Builder.

The new light at Shoreham Harbour has been ex-
hibited since the 4th instant. The lamp has two con-
centric wicks in it, and the oil used is made from rape-
seed, which burns a beautiful clear light; but its great
orillancy is caused by some highly, polished lenses, or
what is properly called a Dioptrick light apparatus,
which illumines one hundred and eighty degrees of a
circle. The light gives general satisfaction to masters
,f vessels entering the harbour, but more particularly to
,he masters of the steam packets, who find it now as
.easy of access by night as in the day, which is of very
great importance to them, as it saves their time and,
.onsequently, facilitates the landing of their pas-
sengers, &c.—Brighton Herald.
INSPECTOR JULIAN.—It will be recollected that
ihout four weeks ago Mr. Julian, an inspector of the
of police, was convicted by Mr. Broughton,
it the Worship-street Police court, for an attempt to
•ide over a man !lamed Blake, in Bethnal-gret n, and
i
cutting h'm n bodily fear, and he was fined. The case,
nd the circumstances out of which it arose, gave rise to
such discussion at the time. It was urged, on blr.
I uhan's behalf, that the charge was a malicious one.
fter a two days' investigation, he was convicted, and
ined 51. His suspension followed immediately after
,yards. The clergy, churchwardens, overseers, guardians,
and other inhabitants and ratepayers of the extensive
district of Bethnal-green, Stepney, and Bow, directly,
and without solicitation, bestirred themselves in behalf
of Mr. Julian, and respectfully but strocgly worded me-
norials were forwarded to the Commissioners of Police
•m his behalf. Other proceedings took place, and the
whole of the papers were forwarded to Sir George Grey,
he Home Secretary, together with a report from the
Commissioners, and another from Mr. Marquard, the
superintendent of the K division. Julian was sent for
,n Wednesday to the Commissioners' office, and it wets
oitimated to him that the Home Sectetary had, after
careful consideration of his case, been pleased to rein
state him in his situation of Inspector, and he imme-
diately resumed his official duties.
