foreign journals may be distributed for the future.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.—A shipwright named
William Henry was killed to-day in the dockyard by falling
from the upper beams of the Princess Royal into the hold, a
depth of fifty or sixty feet.
MR. RAMSHAY.—EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN THE
PRESTON THEATER.—On Friday night the theatre was at-
tended by a very numerous audience, it being Mr. Harwood's
benefit. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Ovens, Mr. Thorburne, and
other gentlemen engaged in the defence of Mr. Ramshay,
were present, as also was Mr. Hughes, solicitor of Liverpool.
The performance had proceeded for about an hour, when Mr.
Ramshay entered the house, and on his appearing in the
boxes, some person called out for "Three cheers for Mr.
Ramshay I" and the call was loudly responded to. Three
groans for the Liverpool Journal, and three groans for Mr.
W bitty succeeded, and an extraordinary degree of excite-
ment pervaded the house throughout the remainder of the
evening.—Preston Filet.
LEAP OF A PRISONER FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.—
On Saturday morning Francis Farrington, one of the six
prisoners committed at the Police-court, Wolverhampton,
on the previous Wednesday, on a charge of night poaching
with violence, succeeded, by a desperate effort, in escaping
from the custody of Sub-inspector Thompson, of Bilston,
whilst being conveyed by train from Willenhall station to
Stafford. Farrington and several other prisoners were hand-
cuffed in the usual way to a chain. Farrington sat next to
the locked door of the carriage, and by some means succeeded
in working his hand out of the handcuff unobserved. Soon
after the train had passed Wolverhampton station, and whilst
it was at full speed somewhere in the neighbourhocd of Bush-
bury, Farrington jumped bead foremost out of the window,
and fell on the outside of the line. Thompson endeavoured
to arrest the attention of the guard at the foremost part of
the train, but could not succeed in doing so, although it
turned out that the guard at the end of the train observed
Farrington lying on the ground as he passed, and thought he
was dead. He was also seen about a quarter of an hour af-
terwards near the line, bleeding from his head, by some
platelayers in the employ of the railway company, who in-
quired how he got there, but they could not obtain from him

before he sufficiently

FiloHis OF WILD FOWL.—Some of the signs of
the approach of winter (more familkr to northern voyagers
than to us) have begun to be visible in this country ;
amongst others, the migration towards the south of flights
of the various kinds of wild fowl, which spend the summer
in the arctic regions, and in the winter seek fo- a milder cli-
mate. The other day a large flock, supposed to be geese,
