Independent of the railway, the Company are occupied in
forming two lines of road from London to Greenwich, running
close to the base of the work, and parallel with tliem---that on

The notorious Joseph Ady has again written to
several individuals at Gosport and its vicinity, after the usual
manner, but we are happy to state that he did not succeed in
any of his applications, his exploits being already too well
known,—Salisbury Herald.

As a proof of the earliness of the season, Mr. Hope,
at Duddingston, finished cutting on Saturday, 16th August,
and, what is very remarkable, without the slightest interrup-
tion from rain.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.

BnEcHlN.—The continued diversity of rain and
sunshine which has prevailed for the last few weeks has
brought the crops in this neighbourhood to maturity consider-
ably sooner than was anticipated.—The farmers around have all
begun harvest some days ago.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.

We are sorry to learn that the herring fishery along
the north coast of Scotland has this season been unprecedent-
edly unsuccessful. With the exception of one week's fishing
in the Sound of Scalps, Island of Skye, it has been, we may
say, a total failure. At Portree, on Thursday morning last,
the take was so bad that the steward of the Ilighlander steam-
boat was unable to procure fresh herrings sufficient for the use
of the passengers homewards.—Greenock Intelligencer.

ENNISKILLEN, AUG. consequence of or-
ders from Government, a general disarming of the yeomanry
has been ordered. Several members of that body, both in this
and the adjoining counties, have refused to deliver up their
arms; but the Government will not be humbugged by their
obstinacy, and the law officers are about proceeding against
the commander of each corps whose men are contumacious, for
the penalty of 5001., pursuant to the statutes in that case made
and provided. This intimation will, no doubt, produce the
desired effect.

On Sunday morning, between the hours of nine and
ten o'clock, as a servant with three young children, one of
whom was in her arms, was walking on the footpath, randon-
hill, leading from Charlotte-street to Queen's Parade, they
were met by three young men, well dressed, who, on passing,
threw over her a quantity of vitriol, which dreadfully burnt
her person and nearly the whole of her clothes. A reward of
two guineas his been offered for the discovery of the offend-
ers.—Bristol Mercury.

A facetious Irishman was brought up for being
drunk and disorderly on the previous day. Sowry,'the consta-
ble, stated that he was in a most outrageous condition, declaring
that he wanted to kill all the Irish, and then he could die
happy ; that he knew all the watchmen in London, and should
like to know all the watchmen in Leeds. Mayor.—Where do
you live ? Prisoner—Surrey, your honour, when I am at
home, but Igo a-walking about the country. Q.—Can you
pay for a fine ? A.—No, Sir. Q.—Then you can sit in the
stocks : A.---( With great emphasis) I hope not, your ho-
nour. The Mayor said—We cannot do with such conduct
here, you can do so in Surrey, if you like. Prisoner—Then
I would rather leave the town. He was then discharged on
the above condition.—Leeds Times.

THE MOORS—GROUSE.—AII the accounts hi-
therto received from the North, state the birds to be in fine
condition, but not over numerous, and so wild as to render
them " come-at-able" only by good shots. The regular
" peep-o'-day" sportsmen complain sadly of the " improved
locomotive power" which transports a host of cockney rivals
from the vicinity of Moorfields to the Yorkshire Moors, in the
short space of 24 hours. One writer says—" We saw one
gentleman whose nose had been perforated by two of number
three, and another whom we met had his hat ventilated by a
random shot. Several dogs fell instead of grouse, and a fine
borrowed animal from an hotel, that had been shot over for
many seasons, was carried home by a strange gentleman minus
his two eyes. This is a serious and growing evil, as these
scaramouches mar the 'pleasure of some of the best sportsmen
that ever breathed the pure mountain breeze."
THUNDER STORM.—Thunder storms have of late
been very prevalent. One of the most violent of these oc-
curred at Inverness on the afternoon of Sunday week. So
destructive was the storm on this occasion, that five horses, be-
longing to Mr. J. Macgillivray, a tenant on the estate of
Dunmaglass, which were on their way to the hill at the time
of the storm, were struck down by the electric fluid. A lad
was riding on one of them, but he marvellously escaped with
only a slight bruise occasioned by the fall of the animal, while
the whole of the horses were killed on the spot. A person who
saw them next day states, that the horses were not in the
slightest degree scorched or disfigured.—lnverness Courier.
DUBLIN, AUG. 16.—The lamentable increase of
cholera in Dublin can no longer be concealed or disregarded.
No less than 158 new cases in the city have been announced
to-day. At this moment the Metropolitan Cholera Hospital
is re-opened at Grange Gorman-lane, and undergoing a hasty
preparation for the reception of patients and the prevention of
similar afflicting, and indeed widely dangerous, scenes. Sir
W. Gossett has sent on the instant 5001. as a Government
advance to defray the first expenses, till some arrangement
can be effected to establish a regular fund to meet the daily
charges. Accounts from Castlebar, county of Mayo, speak
of the speed with which the sufferers are now carried off there
with astonishment.

Much alarm was excited in Stamford on Tuesday
last, by a case supposed to be one of Asiatic cholera, in the
person of a market-gardener named Landen, from Wood
Newton, near Wansford. He had been violently sick pre-
vious to his leaving home, early in the morning, but perse-
vered in coming to Stamford ; and, as soon as he arrived in
the market, was seized with the more decided symptoms of
the formidable disease. He was taken to a neighbouring inn,
and promptly attended by Mr. Burdett, surgeon, and subse •
quently by Dr. Arnold. In the evening the symptoms were so
far mitigated, that, at his own particular desire, he was re-
moved to his home at Wood Newton, and we hear has since
become convalescent.—Boston Herald.

On Tuesday week, in the Jury Court, in the trial
of a case connected with the Fife Bank, Mr. Dalziel, Writer
to the Signet, who was examined as a witness, stated the fol-
lowing singular circumstance :—Some papers connected with
the case had been mislaid, and after a very diligent search, all
hope of finding them was given up, until the night previous to
the trial, when he dreamt that the papers were lying in a par-
ticular place. On going to the quarter indicated, he discovered
them. We are well aware that other instances of similar reve-
lations have been detailed, but we believe none of them are,so
well authenticated, Mr. Dalziel having stated it on oath. The
Court, as might be expected, were very much astonished at
the statement.—Fife Herald.
MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning
between two and three o'clock, a melancholy accident occurred
at the gravel-machine of Waterloo-bridge. A waterman
named Turner, went with a barge to the machine, for the pur-
pose of getting it filled with ballast ; and as he was a little in
liquor, his wife insisted upon accompanying him, and she re-
mained on board the machine until the barge was filled, when
as she was about to step from one vessel to the other, her foot
slipped, and she fell into the water; and, before any assistance
could be rendered to her, the strength of the tide carried her
a great way up the river, and she was unfortunately drowned.
CHILD MURDER.—On the evening of Saturday
last the town of Old Meldrum was thrown into a state of con-
siderable excitement by the murder of a female child, only
about three weeks old, belonging to a party of Gipsies. The
mother of the child had lain down in a state of intoxication at
a dyke-side, with the infant under her arm ; and while she was
in this situation her husband struck her several blows, in at-
tempting to avoid which she pressed on the child, and unfor-
tunately deprived it of life. Both parties were immediately
taken into custody, and the body of the infant was laid out in
the Town-hall. On Sunday morning Mr. Sheriff Watson and
the Procurator Fiscal, accompanied by Dr. Jamieson, pro-
ceeded thither, when a post mortem examination of the body
took place, but no marks of violence were observed. On Mon-
day the Sheriff and Fiscal again returned, and proceeded to
take the usual precognitions on the subject, and the result of
the investigation was the committal of the man, whose name
is Dessau, and his wife, to Aberdeen gaol for trial. The
Gipsies who accompanied them were dismissed.—Aberdeen
Herald.

SUICIDE BY WHISKY.--On the morning of
Thursa ay, he 24th ult., a zlivt kin g inutancc of 3olf-dc-
struction took place in the vicinity of Castledawson. A decent,
industrious, and habitually sober man, named Thomas Cook,
took it into his head that his wife was unfaithful to him, which
idea seems to have occupied his mind for a considerable pe-
riod. During Wednesday he was from home at Cookstown ;
on his return in the evening of that day, some circumstance
attracted his attention which revived his previous suspicions.
He, in consequence, quarrelled with his unfortunate wife, and
beat her most severely. The wretched man appeared speedily
to have become deeply sensible of the impropriety of his con-
duct, and endeavoured to induce his wife to forgive and forget
what had happened. To this, however, she did not seem dis-
posed to consent. In a fit of desperation he seized a quantity
of whisky which was in the house, and, taking a knife in his
hand, vowed that he would stab any person who attempted to
prevent him from drinking it, as he was determined to kill
himself. The quantity which he swallowed was at least a
quart and a half pint. In a short time afterwards he fell on
the floor in a state of insensibility ; from which, although he
received medical treatment, he never recovered.—Belfast
Chronicle.

At the Court of Assizes for the department of the
Herault, held at Montpelier, a trial has just taken place of a
mother and daughter, the latter of whom was accused of at-
tempting to shoot her lover, and the former with aiding and
abetting her in the crime. It appeared by the evidence that
the youngest prisoner, Marie Maguey had for some time been
courted by a young man named Aristide de Montbazier, by
whom she was pregnant. This young man had promised her
marriage, and it would seem, that as he refused to fulfil that
promise, she had concerted with her mother to destroy him.
Upon one occasion the young man and a friend were walking
in the streets, when they were followed by the prisoners,
who had been watching them, and Marie suddenly drew a
pistol from her apron, and fired it at her lover. He received
the charge in his arm, which was much injured, and his
friend had the sleeve of his coat burnt. Marie ran off imme-
diately, but was pursued and taken
