TUE BILLINGSGATE! IMPRoviIMENTS.--The improve-
naents in progress at Billingsgate are proceeding rapidly.
and one of the towers fronting the river has already been
raised to a considerable height. The foundations of the
new river frontage to this celebrated fish-market have beea
laid with an unusual degree of strength, the stone-work
being cemented with iron girders, after the manner of
strengthening the walls of houses now in vogue. There
will be a handsome roof to the new market-place when
finished; and, altogether, with the vast improvement which
will be effected in this locality, coupled with the handsome
new Gial- Exchange building
opposite, and the Custom-house
adjoining, this portion of Thames-street will not be one of
the least ornamental portions of the city of London.
ANGLING-I'ns OlCEl.—During the past week the
river Oich has been fished successfully. We are informed
that Mr. Tait's keeper succeeded in killing on that river, on
Wednesday last, a salmon weighing twelve pounds ; and on
Thursday, in addition to a fine grilse, a trout, weighing no
less than eighteen pounds, was secured, both with the fly.
It is unusual for trout of such size and weight to be
caught in the Oich with the fly-hook. On Saturday the
same person caught a salmon weighing twelve pounds. In kin, Tea consequence of the flood in the high-lying rivers, this is Auction

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. 1: Ditto I —Oa Friday evening an accident occurred on the Caledonian
it tilwly, which resulted in the death of James Watson, one llungerford
of the engine-tiriveri on the line. Ile left Edinburgh oondon !net
charge of the 9.15 mail main. Finding he was losing time, Yew &can,
notwithstanding his utmost endeavours to keep up the Ditto, We'
steam, he twice left the engine and went across the roofs of I:Z.611p"
the carriages to see if anything was wrong with the
Anna;
had There being a cattle truck in the train, which toys sup
had an awkwardly situated drag, be was in the act of loath knit
adi isting it, when he missed his footing, and fell upcn the
7snDienli
line. The wheels of one or more of the carriages passed
over his leg, and severed it nearly through at a point about
as far up as the groin. This occurred a little to the west-
ward of West Calder. Ile was not observed to fall off
the carriage by either of the guards stoker; but they
soon became aware that he was missing, and the train
was stopped with the view of going back to pick him up.
This proposition, however, was frustrated by the interference
of some official at one of the stations; and the consequence
was that the train proceeded onwards to CA stairs, on reach-
ing which a special engine was sent back along the line. The
poor fellow was found lying on the side of the railway in a
pool of blood, with his napkin and jacket tied round his leg,
as he was best able, to al) the haemorrhage. By this time
upwards of an hour and a half had elapsed, and be was fast
sinking, lie was conveyed to Edinburgh, and removed to
the Royal Infirmary; but he died just as the parties who
had him in charge were laying him upon one of the beds

LFARN TO READ WRITING.—An old man vvhn,
with his wife, had lived for many years in the Hospice des
Vieillards, at Tours, purchased four years ego a pair of trou-
sers from a soldier, and wore them until within the last tew
days. The wife then began to unsew them, and dis-
covered fastened in the band a piece of paper.
" Ab!" said the husband, glancing at, it, " it is an assignat of
the old Republic? It is of no nse ! " " Well ! " answered
the wife, " as there is a little engraving on it, I will paste it
to the wall." She did so. The day after a person came in,
and on seeing the note, exclaimed...." What ! do you paste
bank notes of 1,0004 to the wall! " " I,ooot. ! Good
heavens?" cried husband and wife together, " why isn't it
an assionat? " " No, but a note of the Bank of France
for 1,000 f., which sum any banker will give for it." The
note stuck too tightly to the wall to be removed, so the vi-
sitor cut out the brick, and sent it to a banker at the town.
That gentleman saw that the note was a perfectly good one,
and he sent it, still attached to the brick, to the Bank of
Franca. It was paid at once. The note is dated 1020.... Ga.

from 0. B. Knocker, dated Mount Gambia, South Australia.
July 7, 1849. To Professor Holloway. Sir,—A case has
just come under my observation in which the efficacy of your
Ointment and Pills has been fully proved. A man of the
name of Joshua Smith had upwards of twenty ulcers on his
shins. which were so difficult to cure that almost every remedy
had been applied without any good effect. Your Pills and
Ointment were then resorted to, and in about six weeks he
was completely cured, and scarcely a mark is now to be seen.--
Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish.

illartcuEsTsa, Julia 21.-- About 3,000 quarters of oats

• scarcely to be worth naming. From abroad, however, the im-
;4 ports of wheat, beans, and Indian corn, are to a liberal amount.
'if and fair of four from America ; but from France only 200

this morning there was less disposition to purchase than during
