RAMSGATE, FEB. 25.—The wind having blown
very strong from the south-west all this day, has caused several
vessels to take shelter in this port, His Majesty's steam-
packet, the Ferret, from Calais, arrived this morning with two
carriages and passengers, and landed her bags here ; also the
Britannia, from Boulogne, with eight horses, one carriage,
and passengers; this afternoon the French mail, 1' Estqfe tte,
from Calais landed her bags here, neither of them being able
to enter Dover on account of the bar:which is always thrown
up at the mouth of that harbour during the prevalence of winds
from the S. NV. This town is still honoured with the presence
of many distinguished families, among its numerous visitants
are, the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, the Earl and Coun-
tess of Waldegrave and family, the Countess of Ashburnham
and daughters, &c.
THE POLICE SYSTEM.—We understand that the
Rev. J. T. Beecher, of Southwell, and J. E. Denison, Esq.,
M. P., have a bill nearly completed. to bring before the ensu-
ing Parliament, for establishing a district police. A compe-
tent officer will be stationed at a place, taking the control of a
limited district. He will have deputies, for whose conduct and
due performance of duties he will be responsble. A similar
plan, under local acts, has been acted upon for some years with
great success in several counties, and found to be a saving of
money also. The proposed bill will embody a great many
wholesome regulations, beyond what the local acts already ob-
tained embrace ; but of course the new law would extend their
powers.—Doncaster paper.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT BY THE HIGH WIND.
—Wednesday morning a dreadful accident occurred on the
Thames, near Ratcliff-cross. A lighterman, named Beagley,
was unloading a barge at Bugby's hole, when the wind caused
the rope by which it was fastened to snap asunder ; the barge,
drifting from its moorings, immediately came in collision with
a vessel, and the poor fellow falling between the two, his head
was literary crushed. He was conveyed to a surgeon's in
Bread-street, Ratcliff, but life was extinct. He was a native
of Bexley, in Kent, and has left a wife and four children.
During the late high winds, several persons have, on the
Thames, narrowly escaped with their lives.
Extract of a letter from a Collegian to his friend:—
" But my health suffered from intensity of study, my sight be-
came weaker, and my hair came off to such a degree, that a
few months ago I was bald nearly to the crown. Aye, you
may laugh, but a bald head at twenty-two is no joke, and as I
do not intend to remain all my life in the monastic seclusion
of a college, but some day to come forth into the world, I con-
templated with some dismay the premature venerableness of
my appearance. Moreover, my fellow collegians were always
joking me, and declaring that unless I sported a caxon, I
should infallibly incur the fate of the philosopher of' old, who
was killed by an eagle mistaking his hairless pate for a stone,
whereupon he might crack with impunity a huge turtle, which
he had destined for his supper. I demurred to the probability
of this, inasmuch as eagles are not rife in the vicinity of the
Cam ; but at the same time I speculated on the means of re-
medying this disfigurement of my outward man. A wig I
dftidedly objected to, on account of the ridiculous accidents
the wearer is constantly liable to. At last I thought of Row-
land's Macassar Oil, which I perseveringly applied, and to my
delight my locks are not only as redundant as ever, but in every
respect improved in appearance and texture--in fact they are
really now almost too degage for a studious man."
It has been suggested as one method of doing away
with the nuisance of the omnibuses and other public vehicles
_which now block up Graceeburch-street,th t the ritv
should purchase and give up the site of Le
to that purpose, making openings .at r ace urch- street and
Lime-street, in addition to :hitt which now exists in Leaden-
( hall-street.
