LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.
—Among the Parliamentary papers on the subject of this
railway, there is a very elaborate estimate by Mr. LE-
COUNT of the road and canal traffic for one year between
London and Birmingham, &e. The following are the
general results :—Passengers 233.155 ; goods 62.389
lons ; parcels 46 799 ; beasts 50,839 ; sheep 365 000 ;
pigs 15,634. The expense by the existing means of
transit is about 1,338.2471., while by the railway it will
not exceed 800,7681., thus exhibiting an annual saving
to the country of 537,489/., independently of the advan-
tages to be expected from the unrivalleled celerity of this
mode of conveyance.—Birminylvarn Journal.
HYDROPHOBIA.—ABINGDON, MAY 31.
Some of the villages in the neighbourhood of Wantage
have for souie time past been kept in a state of anxious
excitement and alarm by the prevalence of hydrophobia in
dogs, sheep, cattle, and other animals ; but we are happy
to add, that hitherto has this dreadful disorder in no case
developed itself in any human subject, although several
have been bitten by rabid animals. The first case, and the
source of all the subsequent mischief and apprehension,
occurred in a dog belonging M— RouiNsoN, a carpen-
ter, at Ardingron, about a month ago, which, having
bitten his fellow-servant and bed- fellow (his master's ass),
commenced the devious wanderings peculiar to the malady,
snarling and snapping at every living object in his way,
We next hear of his being at Sparsholt. Here a man
who was shrouding trees hailed him as lie crossed a field ;
the dog attended to the call, and came up to the spot, but
showed evident signs of madness by snapping at every
branch that fell from the tree. Yet this man (as mad,
one would suppose, as the dog), bad the •einerity to take
the animal borne among his children—none of whom were,
however, bitten by him. He was ultimately killed, and
recognised as ROBINSON'S dug. Mr. RICHARDS, of Ar-
dington, has had twelve sheep affected by the alarming
distemper, which he killed on their showing the symptoms,
and buried them in their wool to prevent further
mischief. The ass aam was seized with hydrophobia;
in this state one of RoßiNsoN's children was charged to
lead it to graze, when the animal bit the child with con.i-
-d. rable ferocity, but fortunately did not draw blood. The
part wa,s however, cauterized, and the child is gone to
Southampton. He was then chiined up in a hovel,
where he gnawed, as far as he could reach, all the flesh off
his bones ! and he was then shot. dlr. BUSH, of Spar-
Shrift, who has lost several sheep, has been obliged to kill
two valuable cows with this distemper, the Gist of which
he ordered to be skinned ; but the men who had bad any
share in the flaying of the rabid cow !,ecarne very apprehen-
sive lest they should have imbibed some of the virus ;
and so, after three weeks of anxiety and consideration,
they and other in iividuals, to the amount of seven from
Sparsholt and cx horn Ardington, have been forwarded
to Sourtiainotoo, ro receive the benefit of halt drowning in
a ratline bath.-- Oxford Journal.
