take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed he a bold
man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale is no
mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the
herculean task must be approached.

3!,IOeTTPELIER - SQUARE, BROMPTON, and ELIZABETH -

The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated
about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is
felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com-
poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt
to do it justice—it is indeed
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST.

Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to
generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid
the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country.
The first impression on beholding this
ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE
_ _

the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his
mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and
religious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound-
less admiration; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot
too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob-
jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ;
they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is
to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded
to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu-
sion; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad-
mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to
go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least
to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and
he is fortunately enabled, by the ass;stance of a very highly talented
lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her
own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been
held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant
parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to tke explanatory par-
ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a
beautiful drawing of the Abbey.
The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. It is on

the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset,
15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol
and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London,
which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about
4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rice of Exeter. The
county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other.
The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of
the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and,
amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for
the accuracy of their judgment.
In selecting the best of everything, even
THE FAT OF THE LAND•
was not

BE ERSELLERS' ANNIVERSARY.
The members of the Metropolitan New Publicans'
Protection Society held their twelfth anniversary festi-
val at the White Conduit House, Pentonville, on Thurs-
day. The festival, as is usual, was preceded by the an-
nual general meeting, which was held in the large room
of the above-nameehotel, at half-past 12 o'clock.
The proceedings of the.meeting (which was numerous
and respectable) were opened by Mr. Lindsay, the trea-
surer of the society, being unanimouily voted to the
chair.
The CHAIRMAN, after having briefly expressed his re-
gret that the retailers of beer in the metropolis did not
exert themselves in the cause of this aoeiety in a more
determined manner, and made a few preliminary re-
Marks, called upon the secretary to read the annual report
of the committee.
Mr. J. Brsiiop, the secretary, accordingly proceeded
to read the report, which stated that the past year had
been more than usually eventful to the members of this
society. Two questions, both of the utmost importance
to the retailers of beer, had occupied a very considerable
portion of the time and attention of the committee. The
first, and certainly the more important one, was the
refusal of two overseers to sign the certificate of rating
and occupying, demanded by law, to enable the Excise
to grant a license to sell beer by retail ; and the second,
the operation of the recent Act for regulating games and
wagers, by which it has become necessary to apply to
the magistrates for a license to keep a biliard-table or
bagatelle-board. With respect 'to the former case, it
appears that after much delay the society had succeeded
in obtaining the issue. of-armandarans for the purpose of;
compelling the two obstinate officials to do their duty.
The trial of the question took place at .the Queen's
Bench, Guildhall, before Lord Denman and a jury, who,
after five minutes' deliberation, decided in favour of the
plaintiff. So far the society was successful, but the
overseers have availed themselves of the law's delays by
obtaining a writ for a new trial, on the plea of misdirec-
tion of the jury on the part of his Lordship. In the
course of a few months, however, the committee have
every reason to expect that the point at issue will be
finally decided in their favour. With respect to the
second question, the report detailed at great length the
steps which have been taken to place the beersellers in
the same position with the Licensed Victuallers in re-
gard to the operations of the recent Act. Their efforts,
it appears, will, in a short period, be brought to a suc-
cessful and satisfactory conclusion ; indeed, the late
Attorney-General and Sir James Graham have
decided in their favour. The report, which was
a very lengthy and ably written document, concluded
by detailing the labours of the committee in reference
to other matters connected with the society. The num-
ber of informations laid against the members during the
past year was not, it appeared, more than three in two
hundred, and those principally on account of Sunday
trading, which was distinctly discountenanced by the
society. The law charges had necessarily been very
heavy, in consequence of the legal steps taken by the
society during the last twelve months.
Mr. BISHOP then read a statement of receipts and ex-
penditure, which showed a net balance of 2331. 19s. sd.
(exclusive of 737/., the Pension Fund).
Mr. ROBERTS having moved, and Mr. BAGSHAW se-
conded, the adoption of the report and statement of
accounts, a discussion, in which Mr. Cox, Mr. May, and
others took part, ensued as to the steps taken by the
committee in reference to the billiard-table question.
Those gentlemen stated that they would have been better
satisfied if the committee had proceeded further than
they had on that subject.
The SECRETARY, in reply, said that the committee
had done all in their power, and were determined, if
power were given to them by the meeting, to carry their
efforts still further.

" This, the oldest and best of the cheap weekly periodicals, is now
under the able editorship of Mr. Percy St. John, raised to the dig-
nity of a monthly magazine; and, considering the immense
quantity of matter contained in it, the `Mirror' is by far the cheapest
magazine published ; and, with regard to the matter, the name of the
editor is alone a sufficient guarantee that none but the productions
of first-rate literary talent will find admission to its pages. We have
the opening chapters of a Texan romance by the editor, which are
full of striking incident, and promise well."

Of griefs conceard, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

The motion that the report, &c., be adopted was then
put from the chair, and unanimously agreed to.
The following gentlemen were then unanimously ap-
pointed to serve on the committee during the ensuing
year, viz. :—Mr. Boury, Mr. Lush, Mr. Williams, Mr.
Mayher, Mr. Kinnersly, Mr. Hazlewood, Mr. Smith, Mr.
Baker, and Mr. Saffry.
The SECRETARY then reminded the meeting that their
next business would be, which of three applicants they
should elect as a pensioner on the society.
The CHAIRMAN highly eulogised the conduct df Mr.
Richard Bankes (one of the applicants), and said that he
was one of the oldest and zealous subscribers to the
society.

Mr: ROBERTS said, that as there was only one
vacancy, and three applicants for the benevolence of
the society, the fairest step that could be taken would be
to authorise the secretary to send to each member of
the society a balloting paper with the name, &c., of the
applicant, so that the question might be fairly settled at
the next meeting of the society, and he would, therefore,
propose a resolution to that effect.

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables forall Complaints.

vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the 11k a advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in.
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations. •
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

The motion having been seconded and unanimously
adopted, and the Chairman having closed the business of
the meeting by expressing a hope that the entire of the
beersellers of the metropolitan district might speedily
perceive it to be to their great interest to enrol them-
selves members of the society, the meeting adjourned to
THE DINNER,
which took place in the capacious music saloon, situate in
the gardens attached to the above-named hotel, and at
which upwards of a thousand individuals sat down. The vast
assemblage was graced by the presence of several ladies
(the relatives of the company), who were seat( d in a
gallery at one end of the saloon.
Prior to the dinner, Mr. BISHOP, the Secretary, stated
that Mr. Ewart, M.P., bad promised to do them the
honour of presiding on this occasion, but as that gentle-
man had not yet arrived, he begged to propose that the
chair, in the mean time, be taken by their worthy
Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Terry.
The motion having been seconded, that gentleman was
called to the chair amidst loud cheers.

and l Is. per box, are the most effectual remedy for strictures, in-
flammation, irritation of the bladder, &c., without hindrance to
business.

Grace having been said by the Chairman, and ample
justice done to the good things which were most plenti-
fully provided for the occasion, " Nun Nobis Dwaine"
was ably sung by a party of vocalists in attendance.
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " Health and happiness to
the Queen," which was of course responded to in the
most loyal manner.
The other usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been
given and duly honoured,
Mr. PROSSER rose and said that the toast which had
been committed to his charge was one that was particu-
larly grateful to his feelings, as he had no doubt it would
be to that assembly. That toast was, " The Right
Honourable Lord Monteagle, the patron of the New
Publicans' Protection Society, and their other Parlia-
mentary friends."—(Cheers.) All those gentlemen who
had been long connected with the trade, and all who
were engaged in its early struggles, must have a grate-
ful recollection of the great services which they had re-
ceived at the hands of those gentlemen included in the
toast.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord and their Parlia-
mentary friends, who received them as deputations into
their mansions, were pleased to listen to their observa-
tions, and promised to do all in their power to effect the
emancipation of the trade.—(Cheers.) He hoped, then,
that the members of that society would con-
tinue to conduct themselves in such a man-
ner as to justify those gentlemen (whose services
might be again required at no distant day) in
extending to them their assistance and patronage.—
(Hear, hear.) The society would no doubt be soon
called upon again to act on the defensive, and it behoved
them to be prepared for any attacks which might be
attempted to be made on their just rights and privileges.
Having no wish to trespass any longer on their time,
he would conclude his observations by proposing for
their hearty reception, .6 The Right Hon. Lord Mont-
eagle, the patron of this Society, and our other Parlia-
mentary friends."— (Three times three cheers.)
Mr. Bruton then sang a comic sot.g on railroads, a
performance which created bursts of laughter. The com-
pany ware also much entertained throughout the
remainder of the evening by the able services of that
gentleman, in conjunction with Messrs. Atkinson, Dow-
son, (Tones, Warry, &c.
The CHAIRMAN having called upon the assembly to
charge their glasses to the brim,
Mr. Bisnor rose and said, that the toast which had
fallen to his lot was the same that he had had the
honour of proposing for their reception on preced-
ing occasions—it was that of their Society ; but
he supposed that he must follow the old plan
that they had laid down, viz., that no gentleman
ought to propose anything for their acceptance without
giving them a reason, and a good reason, why they
ought to accept it. And as that was the case, and Le
had this toast again put into his hands, he supposed he
must again preach a sermon upon it. A friend behind
him had just tapped him on the shoulder, and had re-
quested him to let the sermon be a very short one. He
promised them that it should be as short as the toast
could possibly admit of. As there were many amongst
them who had not been present on the preceding oc-
casions, he must trouble them to carry their recollection
back as far as the year 1840 ; he would not go back
much farther than that. At that time the society was
subjected to a severe trial ; everything, however, that
perseverance could possibly suggest was done fur the
purpose of carrying out the intentions of the New
Publicans' Protection Society, as every person who was
aware of their unceasing efforts must acknowledge. At
the time alluded to, the Act of Parliament
under which their trade was now regulated
was obtained. _ That Act released them from

Consultation fee, if by Letter, 11. A minute detail of case is ne-
cessary. Messrs. Perry are In daily attendance at their residence,

the dominion of the magistracy, who previously
had the power of limiting their hours of business, as the
gentlemen of the Surrey district well knew. Their
success, then, in obtaining that Act of Parliament, must
be a sour 3e of great satisfaction. For the information
of those- gentlemen who had lately joined the trade, be
could tell them that it was by the efforts of this society
that the price of their licenses had been reduced from
51. ss. to 31. 35., the latter sum being paid by the
licensed victuallers, who nevertheless enjoyed greater
privileges than the beersellers. The committee of this
society took the liberty of suggesting to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and the other parties who were then
connected with the Government, that they could not
with any propriety call upon the beersellers to pay a
larger sum for a few additional privileges, than parties
who, for a lower sum, were put in possession of greater
privileges. There was a little hesitation on the part of
the Government, The committee asserted that they

should be able - to prove their statements, and, on
an inquiry having been made, it was ascertained
that the licensed victuallers in the kingdom were in
number one-fifth more, whilst they, in fact, paid me-
. fuurth less for their beer licenses than was paid by the
beersellers at that period,—(Cheers.) The consequence
was, that the price demanded from the beerseller for
; his license was reduced from 5!. ss. to 31. 35., and that
, reduced sum they had continued till the present time.
, Need he then say a single word more in praise of the
objects and efforts of the society whose labour had
, been the means of saving 21. 2s. to every beerseller?
This society also made a liberal provision for its menu-
, hers in the time of sickness, and their widows, in case
of death., If they needed any legal advice in matters
connected with their trade, they had a solicitor to pro-
tect them, without any expense whatever. All these
privileges were conferred upon them at the trifling cost
of tea shillings per annum, out of the 21. 2s. which had
been saved to every beerseller in the course of a year.—
(Cheers.) In reference to the Beer Bill of 1834, as to
"drinking upon the premises," the committee waited
upon upwards of four hundred Members of Parliament,
and stated their views to them. When that Bill
was committed in the House of Lords no less than
seventeen divisions took place on it in one night—a
circumstance unparalleled in the history of Parliament.
When the Bill came to the House of Commons it was
passed (notwithstanding all the opposition and influence
that was brought to bear against it) by a triumphant
majority. After dwelling at further length on the many
successful efforts which the society had made for the
+.-gt:of obtaining protection to the beersellers thilg
country, the speaker continued to say that it was now
high time that the petty jealousies which had hitherto
existed between the beersellers and licensed victuallers
should cease, and promised all the assistance in his power
to the members of the former trade. He concluded by
stating that the society had preserved its integrity and
respectability in all its proceedings, and it was for that
reason that he thought it was fully entitled to encourage-
ment from the trade, and it was for that reason that he
would call upon all present heartily to respond to the
toast which had been confided to him, and which be
submitted with all sincerity and earnestness, and which
toast was, " The Metropolitan New Publicans' Protection
Society."—(Great cheering.)
Mr. atoms then proposed " The Public Press,"
which was duly honoured; after which
Mr. ROBINSON proposed " The Ladies," which met
with a similar reception.
Mr. BISHOP next proposed, in an able speech, " The
Brewers who have supported the Metropolitan New Pub-
licans' Protection Society," which was received with
three times three.

been duly honoured and responded to, the vast assem-
blage proceeded to enjoy the light fantastic trip to the
music of an excellent band, an amusement which was
sustained with unabated spirit and relish; after which
they retired to their home exceedingly gratified with
the day's proceedings.
Mr. Riggs performed the duties of toast-master in his

the worthy host, for the excellent manner in which he
provided for the entertainment of his guests.

The eighteenth half-yearly general meeting of this Com-
pany was held yesterday at the London-bridge station. This
was the last meeting that will take place of this Company
under that title, as it now forms part of the consolidated
companies, called " The London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway." Mr. C. P. Grenfell, Chairman of the Company,
presided.

Mr. Buckton, the secretary, submitted the directors' report
was as follows :

"1 he gross revenue arising from traffic in the half-year
ending the 30th of June last, shows an increase of 11,0001.
upon the receipts for the corresponding period of last year,
but this is not a fair criterion by which to estimate the pro-
gressive prosperity of the line, inasmuch as, owing to the re-
duction in fares since June, 1845, a greater amount of work
had to be performed to obtain the same gross revenue, and a
larger expenditure was also consequent upon the increased
business. An exact comparison, therefore, of the present
with the corresponding half-year has not been instituted, as
it would lead to fallacious conclusions. The capital account
shows an outlay on the main line for the half-year of
52,206 L, one considerable item in which, 13,686/., arises from
the settlement of the last contract for works of any mag-
nitude, leaving one only of minor importance yet to be ad-
justed. The :next important charge is for the engine and
carriage manufactory and workshops at Brighton,
amounting to 21,5341. ; the remaiaing items being
for machinery, new engines, carriages, waggons, &c.,
contracted for some time ago, and delivered since the
last report. It is satisfactory to be able to add, that
your working stock generally is in a complete state of effi-
ciency. The Chichester branch was opened throughout to
the public on the Bth of June, and that to Lewes on the
same day ; the latter was further opened within two miles of
Hastings on the 27th of the same month. Both these
branches already give promise of fully realising the expecta-
tions of your directors, although the development of the
traffic cannot be expected till the line to Hastings and the
stations there and at Chichester arc completed. In the last
report you were informed that, by the then subsisting
arrangement between the London and South-Western Rail-
way Company and yourselves, the portion of the line be-
tween Chichester and Portsmouth would be constructed at
the joint cost of the companies; subsequent circumstances

ave, he wever, occurred, which have resulted in the rem-

tiun by your directors of the entire line. The works on this
portion are proceeding satisfactorily ; and it is expected that

the line will be open to Portsmouth by the end of this, or

on the subject of the works generally will be contained in

state that, with the exception of the branch to Bognor and
that to Dorking, every Bill applied for in the present session
of Parliament has received the royal assent. They con-

the Company for the lines of this session will take place at
an early date; but the creation of new stock can only be
authorised at a meeting of the joint proprietary. In con-
nexion with the Newhaven Branch, mentioned in the fore-
going list, your directors think it right to call your especial
attention to the urgent necessity of improving, by the esta-
blishment of a steam-packet company, the communication
with the French coast. The railway from Rotten to Dieppe
is in course of rapid construction ; and it is indispensable to
provide in time for the development of a traffic with Paris,
with Normandy, the south of France, and with the continent
of Europe generally, the value of which to the railway in-
terests connected therewith must be of considerable import-
ance. Your directors stated in their last report that they
intended taking advantage of the first favourable opportunity
for bringing this subject again before you; that opportunity
has now arrived, and therefore your directors have to inform
you that, in full confidence of receiving your cordial concur-
rence, and in conformity with the general opinion of the pro,
prietors on the former ocoasion, they have recently formed
the basis of a company, for the purpose of affording superior
steam communication between the Brighton lines and the
French coast. A prospectus will be transmitted to each pro-
prietor in the amalgamated company. The revenue account
submitted herewith shows a disposable balance for the half-
year ending 30th of June last of 58,1101., which, divided
amongst 47,306 k shares, enables the directors to annnunce a
dividend of 11. 4s. 6d. per share."
The CHAIRMAN said, notwithstanding the alterations
which had occurred during the last six months in the com-
forts and the circumstances of many individuals, owing to
unfortunate speculation in railways, the Brighton line, in-
stead of decreasing its revenue, has increased, compared with
the circumstancesof the corresponding six months, to the ex-
tent of between 10,000/. and 11,0001. in its profits, which he
thought was a very satisfactory result.—(Hear, hear.) The
report so fully detailed the position of the Company, that he
hardly required to offer any explanation of its statements.
There was, however, one circumstance to which he must al-
lude, namely, to the relations existing with the London and
South-Western Company, which relations had been very
considerably altered within the last six months. Circum-
stances had occurred during that period which had led to
a disruption of the previously existing relations between the
companies. The application lately made to Parliament by
the London and Brighton Company, for power to construct
the branch to Wandsworth, was founded on an agreement
made with the South-Western Company, by which a toll was
to be paid by the Brighton Company on that portion of the
line leading from Wandsworth to London, and the advan-
tages thereby offered formed one of the inducements to make
the application. The Brighton Company in return gave cer-
tain advantages to the South-Western Company, and natu-
rally acted on the agreement concluded. When the Brighton
Company applied to the South-Western Company to give
them the r.ecessary quid pro quo, in the shape of a toll clause,
the latter, for reasons best known to themselves, refused to
insert suchl a clause, thereby virtually refusing to legalise the
agreement. There were other differences of opinion which
the Brighton Company offered to submit to arbitration, but
the South-Western Company refused, and the other party
deeming that the South-Western board wished to
break off the agreement, felt themselves compelled to
consider that agreement at an end. The application
to Parliament for sanction to the joint purchase of the ex•
tension line from Chichester to Portsmouth was withdrawn,
but the extension had been sanctioned by Parliament, and
when the line is completed it will become part and parcel of
the Brighton Company. He felt it due to the proprietors to
make these observations, seeing that allusion to the agree-
ment had been made in the last report from the directors.
There was one other subject of importance to which he would
briefly advert, and that was the necessity of adopting effec-
tive steps to retain the traffic which the Company possessed
with the Continent. To effect that it was expedient that a
certain number of steamers should be placed on the station,
either at Brighton, Newhaven, or Shoreham, as may here-
after be determined on. The basis of the Company bad been
laid down in a prospectus, and he earnestly called on each
proprietor to give his sanction and support to so important
an undertaking. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving
the adoption of the report.
Mr. J. M. PARSONS, the Deputy Chairman of the Com-
pany, seconded the motion.
In reply to a question from Mr. TAYLOR,
Mr. RASTRICK, the engineer; stated that he believed, so far
as the engineering works of the various lines completed and
in progress were concerned, the cost would not exceed the
Parliamentary estimates.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question as to the amount of
calls which had been made for the completed lines, stated

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—ThiS intellec-
tual exhibition still continues to be crowded by eager in-
quirers after scientific knowledge. During the past week,
too, a more than usual treat has been provided in the e'cr:
quent lectures of Dr. Bachhoffner, on the application of the
agent electricity to purposes connected with the economy of
every-day life. To use the Professor's own words," that
strange agent which dances in the Aurora Borealis, and
sears and destroys in the lightning's flash, may be employed
in its more modified forms to move machinery—to transfer
through space the most rapid conversations—to explode
masses of gunpowder, and even to print a lady's dress." In
his excellent and particular mode the Doctor then proceeded
to illustrate each of these truths by practical experiments--
giving in one lecture, in epitome, all that has been done and
said on this mighty subject during the last twenty years.
ACCIDENT To THE NEW MACHINERY AT THE
GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—On Wednesday morning, at an
early hour, during the morning duty, an accident, nearly at-
tended with circumstances of a fearfnl character to several of
the letter-carriers, took place at the General Post-office. The
particulars of the case are these :—The revolving shelves of
the machine recently constructed for the purpose of raising
and lowering both bags and men, with trays of letters and
newspapers, and which is worked by means of steam power,
from the breaking of one of the cogged wheels suddenly re-
volved at a frightful rate while several men were upon it
with letters and newspapers. The effect was such that many
of the men were obliged to jump off at the hazard of their
limbs, while others were hurled from the shelving-boards
with great violence upon the floor. Suddenly the action
stopped, while others of the officers were upon the machine,
and before either they or the newspapers and letters could be
extricated, it was found necessary to force away the iron
work, a matter which occupied upwards of an hour and a
half, which delayed upwards of 4,000 of theCitv letters. For-
tunately no lives were lost, nor were any bones broken. This
is the third accident occasioned by this new contrivance since
its erection for post-office purposes.
THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY.—Since the recent accident on the Eastern
Counties Railway, a set of signals have been put at all the
stations, consisting of upright posts, from twenty to thirty
feet in height, having two arms, which on the passing of a
train are raised. The arms are painted red, and at night a
red light is affixed to them. Near the Stratford station
the signal is placed on the opposite side of the line to the
old signal, so that it can be seen at a much greater
distance. With respect to the sufferers by the accident,
the majority are progressing favourably, but we regret to
state that Mr. W. Cotton, the Chairman of the Ilford
Board of Magistrates, is still unable to resume hismagis-

men and gentlemen have already volunteered to accompany
his Lordship, and the enterprising and scientific band, it is
said, will sail as soon as the necessary arrangements shall be
completed.
THUNDER-STORM AT CHICHESTER, AND Loss Cr
LIFE.—A dreadful storm of thunder and lightning occurred
in this neighbourhood about nine o'clock on Wednesday
morning. The thunder, lightning, and rain were so violent
and so alarming, that all the harvest folds were quickly de-
serted. One of the reapers was proceeding to a cottage for
shelter, with his reaping-hook upon his shoulder,
which attracted the lightning, and the poor fellow's clothes
were in an instant scorched up, and he was struck dead.
His body, we are informed, presented a shocking ap-
pearance.
