THE REPRESENTATION OF YARMOUTH.—Two can-
didates are in the field soliciting the suffrages of the
electors—Mr. Goldsmid, a Liberal, and Mr. Lacon, a
Tory banker. The local paper says, "It is very doubtful
in well-informed circles, whether Yarmouth will have
two Members when the freemen are disfranchised."
REFORM THE TAXES.—Our Liverpool correspon-
dent says, " A petition is being got up here praying the
Legislature to rednce the income-tax to 2i per cent., to
levy a to x of 4 per cent. on real property for twelve
months, and to impose a probate and property tax."
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CASHEL RAILWAY.---
A melancholy accident occurred on Sunday between
Ballybrophy and Knocknahaugh. In the latter place an
immense abyss has for some months baffled the utmost
efforts of the engineers, and the labourers are employed
every day in the week in an attempt to fill it up. A
number of " lorreys," or timber warns, were on the rail
yesterday, and the timber being unfastened, the beams
upset, and two brothers, who had been sitting on them,
were cast with terrific force upon the line and instantly
killed.
THE MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT.—The total num-
ber of the establishment of the Royal Horse Artillery
and Royal Artillery during the year 1847, is stated to
have been 10,281, being 1,220 beyond the strength of
those services in the year 1846. It was the largest
establishment of artillery in this country since the year
1829, when the number was only 7,015. The total
number of the establishment of the corps of Royal En-
gineers and Royal Sappers and Miners in 1847, is stated
to have been 1,798, being an increase of 500 over the
numerical strength of the same force in 1846.
CUSTOMS.—Mr. H. H. Sutton, searcher of the
senior class at the port of Liverpool, has been appointed
to the situation of landing surveyor at that port, ren-
dered vacant by the nomination of Mr. W. Barber to a
landing surveyorship at the port of London.
THE NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.—The amount of all
sums annually paid from July 1, 1843, to July 1, 1847,
under the Order in Council of June 1843, creating a re-
tired list and increasing the half-pay ls. a day to part of
the Paymasters and Pursers, is officially stated to have
amounted in the aggregate to 25,3031. 12s. 3d.1 The
aggregate amount of all sums that have been annually
paid under the Order in Council of April, 1834, for
increasing the half-pay of the Paymasters and Pursers
Is. a day from July 1, 1836, to June, 1847, is stated at
73,0761. 13s. 6d.
A BURGLARY PRITENTED BY A. DOG.--A young
fellow, named Charles Foley, who is already well
known to the police, was on Monday brought up at
the Borough Court, charged under the following sin-
gular circumstances :—About half-past one o'clock on
Sunday morning, Mr. Jones, tailor and draper, of
Lower Mosley-street, was awoke by the loud and furious
barking of a dog which he keeps inside his house,
when, suspecting that thieves were about the premises,
he got up hurriedly and dressed himself, and proceeded
to call up his apprentice. Arming himself with a stout
stick and a watchman's rattle, he then proceeded to
examine his premises, when, satisfied by the continued
barking of his dog that some one was concealed about
the place, he sprang his rattle for a policeman. This
signal, it is almost unnecessary to state, soon brought
him the aid of a constable, when it was discovered
that the iron grid leading (into the cellar had been
forced, and an entrance thus gained into the house.
On visiting the cellar the supposition proved true, for
there, sure enough, lay ensconced the prisoner, look-
ing about as cheerful as can well be imagined on find-
ing the sort of trap he had fallen into. He was of
course taken in charge by the obliging policeman, who
gratuitously provided him with lodgings ; and, being
unable on Monday to persuade Mr. Maude that he had
been drunk and had tumbled into the cellar, he was com-
mitted for trial at the assizes.—Mancliester Courier.
BANK ROBBERY AT WORTHING.—Between
Sa-
turday evening and Monday morning the premises of
the Worthing branch of the Joint Stock Company's
Bank were entered (by means of skeleton keys, it is
supposed) by thieves, who carried off fourteen 10/.
and fifty-six SI. notes, besides gold and silver,
to the amount altogether of between 600/. and 7001.
Several trifling articles were also taken, and a ledger
weighing about 251bs. It seems probable that this
might have been taken on the supposition that it
contained the numbers of the notes, and that all clue to
them would be thus removed. The number, however,
of every note is known and has already been made
public. The person who has charge of the premises,
whose name is Philips, and who lives within two or
three doors of the bank, went to the premises as usual
on Monday morning, and found everything externally
in the same state as when he left on Saturday even-
ing. Ho proceeded to open the large iron chest
which contains the safe, Sze., and is fastened with a very
strong padlock. This he also opened without per-
ceiving any difference ; but when he endeavoured to
open the safe, he found the key would not go in. He
gave the lock a shake, and it fell off. He then discovered
that all the money had been taken as well as the ledger.
Two men were seen by two or three persons coming out
of the bank on Sunday evening between seven and eight
o'clock; one is described as a tall man dressed in a
light coat, and the other rather short. Jenkins, our
head-constable, is gone to London to communicate with
the police ; and at present all is mystery.—Brighton
Guardian.
QWEENBOBOUGH.—The monotony and quiet of this
little town is about to be agreeably broken by the intro-
duction of soldiers into it. A large house, formerly the
residence of G. Baker, Esq., but which has been unoc-
cupied many years, has been taken by the Government
and converted into barracks for the reception of fifty
men, who are expected here in a few days. A barge
load of barrack stores was unloaded hero on Wednesday
last, and deposited in the above-named building.—
