FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Monday morn-
ing last, a fatal accident occurred at the railway crossing
near the Collins-green station, on the Liverpool branch of
the London and North-Western Railway. An old woman,
named Ashton, who lived at a farm near St. Helen's, and
was in the habit of going thither every morning with milk,
went up to the gates as usual with her horse and cart, and
was allowed by the gateman's wife to pass through; but just
when the cart was upon the line the express train from Li-

former being thrown by the force of the shock into a field at
the side of the line.

HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Hearing that some hundreds more of these brave,
suffering men have arrived (or are about to arrive, in this
country, I v ould thank you, should a subscription be made
for their relief, to again put down my name for one guinea.
Who can read of the noble bearing and generous doings of
these peace-loving, Christian •like, and brave people, as de-
scribed in a late work by the Baroness Von Beck, but must
keenly sympathise with them in their sufferings, and pray
that the hand of the Almighty (who ruleth in the Heavens
above, and among the inhabitants of the earth beneath),
may be speedily raised to cruAl (by direct or indirect means)
the foul despotism that is desolating the Continent, and to
avenge the patriot b ood on those who thus tyrannically hold
possession of the earth. Rev. vi. 10.

SALMON FISHING.—Since the Ist of February only
ten fish have been caught in the Doon. The take continues
to be very moderate in the Tay, but not more so than in an
average of seasons in February. The fish hitherto taken
have been almost uniformly large, and a few so very heavy
as to he exhibited for their size and symmetry. Prices in
London have varied from 2s. to Is. 6d. per lb. during the
last fortnight, according to the supply. A very erroneous
impression prevails as to the fall in the rents of the 'ray
fishings. Some of the stations, no doubt, have fallen ofl, but
others have proportionably increased; and, on the whole,
the present rental of the river is about equal to what it was
twenty years ago.— Glasgow Constitutional.
BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY, for
1841, corrected to the present time, and including many ad-
ditional Families, 2 vols. This importact publication ap-
pears at an appropriate moment, when the political excite-
ment of the day is drawing attention to that influential
body—the Landed Interest. Ths work furnishes such a
mass of authentic information in regard to all the principal
families in the kingdom as has never before been brought
together. It relates to the untitled families of rank, as the
" Peerage and Baronetage" does to the titled, and forms, in
fact, a Peerage;of the Untitled Aristocracy; comprising par-
ticulars of upwards of 100,000 persons connected with them !
" A work of this kind (says the Morning Post) is of a
national value. Its utility is not merely temporary, but it
will exist and be acknowledged as long as the families whose
names and genealogies are recorded in it continue to form an
integral portion of the Er?glish Constitution. As a correct
rec,rd of descent, no family shoud be without it."

COUNTY EXPENDITURE.—A meeting of the with()
rities of the metropolitan parishes took place yesterday even-
ing, at the court-house of Marylebone parish, Marylebone-
lane, Oxford-street, for the purpose of organizing the several
parishes in the-counties of Middlesex and Surrey in favour
of the passing of a Bill already introduced into the House; of
Commons by the "Lancashire Committee," the second
reading of which is fixed for Wednesday, March 12, havkag
for its object the establishment of representative county
financial boards throughout the kingdom, for the control of
the expenditure of the county rates. After an hour's nelaY,
occasioned by the insufficiency of the attendance, Mr. ..N icho•
lay was voted to the chair. He briefly open,d the proceed •
ings, and Mr. Day rose to address the meeting, but Mr.
Halton having suggested its adjournment, the proposition
moved by him was seconded by Mr. Day, and adopted. The
meeting then dispersed.
JOURNEYMEN TAILORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.
—The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this charity took
place last night at the London Tavern, and was exceedingly
well attended, about 220 gentlemen sitting down to the ex-
cellent fare provided. It was expected that the chair would
be taken on this occasion by Mr. Lushington, M.P., but
owing to the importance of the discussion corning on in the
House of Commons, he was not able to attend. In his
absence Mr. Cartwright, the celebrated dentist, presided, and
discharged the duties thus hastily assumed in a very able
manner. During the evening subscriptions were announced
by the secretary to the amount of 7001. and upwards; and
as the funded property of the institution is now nearly
15,0001., its financial position must be regarded as very
satisfactory. The musical arrangements of the dinner were
under the direction of Mr. Land, and Mr. Harker was toast-
master.
NEW BARRACKS IN ST. JAMES'S-PARX.—The
Government have decided upon building a new wing to Wel-
lington Barracks sufficiently large to accommodate an addi-
tional battalion of the Foot Guards, the expense of which
will amount to 40,0001. United Service Gazette.
DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF ATIILONE,,—II(4I'
Ladyship died at her residence, in South-street, on Wednes-
day. Her Ladyship was relict of William Frederick, the
last Earl of Athlone, to whom she was united in 1814.
TIIE GOVERNMENT OF MALTA. It is rumoured
that an intention exists, on the part of Government, of re-
, uniting the civil government of Malta with the military
command in the person of a general officer now in command
of one of the districts.— United Service Gazette,

TBE PAPAL AGGRESSION BILL.—The country will
regard with mingled emotions of indignation and sorrow the
proceedings last night, in the House of Commons, on the
subject ot the Papal Aggression Bill. Never did a Ministry
cut a more sorry figure than they did during the delivery of
Sir George Grey's speech. The Papal measure never was
worth much. It fell far short of the necessities of the case;
but whatever little value it possessed, has now been taken
from it by the " modifications" which Ministers have agreed
to make in the measure. It has become a mere mockery.
To waste the time of the House on such a Bill is
an unwarrantable trifling with the country. How long
is this state of things to last? How long is a Govern-
ment to be tolerated which does not know its own mind for
two days tcgether ?—a Government which submits to mar
and mangle its own measures, to propitiate opponents to such
an extent as that they scarcely retain a trace of their ori-
ginal features ?—ildvertiser.
THE GREAT EXHIBITON.—A letter from St. Peters-
burgh announces that the Emperor of Russia intends to
spend 10,C01,000 silver roubles in making purchases at the
Great Exhibition. His agents are specially commissioned to
purchase every model which may be useful to Russian ma-
nufactures.
BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The usual
monthly meeting of this society was held last evening at
the society's rooms. 20, Bedford-street, Strand, A. Henfrey,
Esq., vice-president, F.L.S., in the chair. Numerous dona-
tions to the library were announced, and a great number of
valuable British and foreign plants had been received since
the last meeting. After several new members had been
elected, the continuation of Mr. Stock's paper, " On the
Botany of Btuigay,.buffolk," was read.
