At the conclusion of the fievvorks there was a loud
call for the Earl of Stamford. His lordship came for-
ward to one of the windows of the Hall, and addressed
the enthusiastic multitude as follows :
" Ladies and gentlemen, our object in providing this
entertainment to-day has been that you should enjoy
yourselves, and we hope you have done so to the utmost.
It is to be regretted that the lweather should at All have
damped your expectations as to what wo have just seen,
but it could not be avoided, although I think I may say
all has 'gone off well. We are sure the behaviour of all
the people who have been here has been such as to give us
the greatest pleasure. We wish you all a good night,'
and hope you will enjoy yourselves on some future occa-
sion, and that it will be the same another year." •
We regret to learn that Mr. Nimmo, of Mr.
Mitchell's establishment, Old Bond-street, met with a
severe accident on Friday night during the fireworks.
He received a severe injury to both his hands from a
fall, but we are happy to state that he will be able to
follow his usual occupation in a few days.

The receipts of the South-Western Railway are now
4,0001. a week more than they were in corresponding
weeks last year. 2,0001. of this increase arises from the
general increase of traffic on every station on the line.
The other portion of the increase arises chiefly from the
transport of troops.
