The news rooms at Dover provided by the South-
Eastern Railway Company for the examination of baggage
were on Tuesday taken possession of by the officers of Cus-
toms; and henceforth the luggage of passengers will be
conveyed direct to the railway station, and a saving both
of time and expense effected. This accommodation has
been afforded by the railway authorities with the sanction
of the Board of Customs.

THY& NEW CHANCERY APFOINTMENTS.—YesterdEy
or, according to the words of the Act, " from and after the
Ist of October," the powers of the Lord Chancellor vested
in the Court of Appeal. Although her Majesty was ern-
powered to appoint two persons on the passing of the Act
to the office of "Lords Justices," no appointment has beea
officially announced. It is, however, reported that Lord
Cranworth and Sir James Knight Bruce (with a title) have
been appointed. They have, however, not been sworn in,
and the delay, it is believed, has occurred in consequence of
the Vice-Chancellorship. It is understood that neither the
Solicitor-General nor Mr. Bethell will accept the Viee-
Chancellorship, and the appointment, it is expected, will
either be given to Mr. SwanstOn, a very able equity lawy ir,
or to one of the Masters in Chancery. If to the latter, then
another vacancy of 2,5004 a-year will occur. By the Acct
the Lords Justices must be sworn in before the Lord Chan-
cellor or the Master of the Rolls.
ALLEGED MURDER.-011 Tuesday night Mr. Paynte
held an inquest on the body of Ann Sarah Parker, whtsse
husband was on Monday charged at the Worship-street
Police-court with causing her death by violence. The evi-
dence of the surgeon was heard in addition to that of souse
other witnesses, after which the jury returned as their yea,
diet that " Death was caused by effusion of blood on the
brain, but whether such effusion was produced by her hus-
band's assault there is no evidence to show."
A. melancholy accident occurred at St. Just West,
Penzance, on Sunday last. A party had been out shooting,
and had returned, when, as one of them, named Thomas
Wembath, who was trying to draw the charge from his gun,
by some means the gun went off, and the whole charge C:l.-
tered his mouth, and blew his head to atoms. Ile was
soon placed on a plank and carried to his home, about a
mile distant, where he had in the morning left a wife and
three children.
Kiss's "AmAzoN."--Mr. Digby Wyatt, in writing
on this work of genius, says that in it " the boldest concep-
tion and treatment of a grand idea are tempered by an ex-
quisite appreciation of beauty and refinement of execution,"
and that it is probably the noblest work of art now existing
in which man has displayed the mastery his intelligence
has enabled him to gain over the " stubborn metals."
[ADVERTISEMENT.] ' Holloway's Ointment and
Pills the most extraordinary Remedy known for
Diseases.—Mr. A. G. Rehme, resiing at Pa curing Skin
ramaribo, in
South America, states, in a letter addressed to Professor Hol-
loway, that he was troubled for about four years with an erup-
tion on the skin that defied the skill of the most eminent
medical men of the place to cure or alleviate •in despair e
had re course to Holloway's Ointment and Pill's, and with suchh
good results that, after using them for a shirt time, he was
completely cured, and he has ever since been in the enjoyment
of perfect health. These medicines are also infallible for
scalds and burns.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Loudon,

BLOOMERISM IN LIVERPOOL.—The new style of
female dress, known as Bloomerism, has extended
to this
t ,wn. On Wednesday a young lady, arrayed in the new
costume, was seen walking from Lime .street, through Wil-
liamson-square, to the foot of 80ld-street, where our in-
formant gave up the pursuit. She wore a puce-coloured
tunic, of some silken material, r. aching to the knee, with Turkish iuexpressibles. She was accompanied by a female
triend, in the ordinary costume. They of course attracted a
good deal of observation, but no insult or annoyance was
offered by any one.—Liverpool Mercury.

TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUIN..
Sin,—The necessary arrangemmts are nearly cone•
plete for the formation and efficient working or ;.n
extensive and influential association, having for its
otject the immediate incorp3ration, under dieinc:t
charters or° acts, as may b n2cessary, as well of the
different metropolitan boroughs already returning
Members to Parliament, as also of the populous and
wealthy district, comprising Kensington, Chelsea,
Stc., at present so inadequately represented.
The founders of this association veuttue to hope
that your powerful assistance, and that of the press
generally, will be rendered towards the carrying out
of this most important measure ; without which it is
impossible to obtain any definite or available expres-
swn of the public opinion of the metropolis upon
any given subject, municipal, local, or political, or
to create any united public action based upon that
opinion.

- The creation of these municipal corporations will,
moreover, furnish a simple and complete solution of
the vexata qucestio of Government interference in
matters of purely municipal interest, such as the water
supply, sewerage, &c., the control of which, by the
ratepayers of the metropolis, is rendered difficult, if
not impossible, under the defective and anomalous
organization of the existing multitudinous parochial
vestries and boards. You will also, I think, Sir,
agree with me that it will ba no slight recommenda-
tion of the proposed measure that it will obviate the
of the existing City corporation
aga3isilinibmitYst:aken for the representatives of the
futurebeing P°
metropolis of this vast empire.
It is intended to hold a preliminary meeting next
week of such parties as may be willing or desirous to
aid this movement, as well for the purpose of collect-
ing necessary statistical and other information, relat-
ing to the several districts propcsed to be incorporated,
the nuclei of the general and dis-
trict organizingcommittees.
Such gentlemen as may intimate
as also
of
to me by letter their desire to attend will receive no-
tice of the time and the place of the meeting.
I am, Sir, &c.,
N. EDWARDS, Hon. Sec.
