PROPOSED RAILWAY TO SUD.
BURY.
MEETING OF LANDOWNERS.
"'"Monday a meeting of the landowners of the north-
eastern division of the county of Essex was held in
support of the proposed railway to Sudbury. The meet-
ing was called by requisition, which was as follows:
" We, the undersigned, being of opinion that the pro-
posed railway from Sudbury through Halsted to Brain-
tree and Witham will confer a great benefit upon the
town of Halsted and its neighbourhood, do hereby re.
quest that all parties interested in the success of the
undertaking to attend a public meeting at the Concert-
hall, in the town of Halsted, on Monday, November 11,
for the purpose of considering the best means of co-
operating with the originators of this important work."
The following
magistrates and landowners affixed their
names to the requisition:—George de Vaizey, N. N.
Browston, Renjamin Gilson, John Sudbury, D. Sewell,
Esqs., and several others. George de Vaizey, Esq.,
took the chair.
Esq., a magistrate, in
N. MARTIN,
proposing the first
resolution, " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the
proposed railway would confer a great benefit on the
town of Halsted, said the inhabitants of Witham were
very anxious to have a railway to Braintree, and the
inhabitants of Sudbury were also anxious to have a
railway line of communication to London. At a meeting
held in Sudbury, it was proposed to have a line to join
the Eastern Counties line at Kelvedon. It would be
apparent, however, to every body that two lines of that
description, one from Kelvedon and the other from
Witham, would never be allowed by the Legislature ;
and a deputation from the Eastern Counties Company
had attended on Thursday last at Sudbury, to endeavour
to induce the inhabitants of that town to have their line
to join the Eastern Counties line at Witham, instead of
Kelvedon. In this they succeeded, and the people of
Sudbury had come to the determination to joia their line
with the one from Witham to Braintree.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. ARDEN proposed that a committee should be
formed, consisting of the requisitionists,_ with power to
add to their number, to co-operate with the promoters of
the proposed railway. He said that there were various
opinions as to the advantages of a railway to Halsted,
but the railway was sure to be brought there, and there-
fore he thought it would be policy in those who did
object to it to support it.
The CHAIRMAN said he believed that the majority of
the inhabitants of Halsted were in favour of the railway.
'rho resolution was adopted, as were others, embody-
ing the sentiments of the meeting with respect to the
proposed line of railway, after which the meeting sepa-
rated.

SCENE IN TWEEDSIOUTH SCOTCH CHURCH.--On
the forenoon of Sunday last a rather curious affair hap-
pened in the Rev. Mr. Grant's church, Tweedmouth,
which is at present in connexion with the Established
Church of Scotland. The Rev. Gentleman, after con-
cluding his sermon, notified his intention of leaving that
Church, having entered into an engagement to go out
to India as a missionary of the Church of Scotland, at
the same time urging the congregation to remain iu con-
nexion with the Established Church, and not to unite
with either the Free Church of Scotland or English Pres-
byterian Church. After the pronouncing of the benedic •
tion, Mr. Pearson, of Tweedmouth, who by his gestures
during the service manifested great uneasiness, and an ar-
dent desire to speak, stood up and requested the congrega-
tion to remain for a few moments, having something of
importance to communicate. Mr. Grant, with a few
of the congregation, immediately left the chapel, but the
majority remained to hear what the speaker had to say.
He then urged the congregation not to allow themselves
to be bound neck and heels to the Establishment by any
minister. He himself was a supporter of the principles
of the Free Church of Scotland, and would never allow
himself to be handed over to any party the minister
might choose; and he therefore would propose that a
congregational meeting be held, in order to decide as to
which body application should be made for candidates
to supply the place of Mr. Grant. This motion was se-
conded and agreed to; but Mr. P., while delivering his
speech, wase

GENEROSITY OF CORNISH FISHERMEN.—In the
early part of last month the French sloop St. Louis, of
Cherbourg, Louis Basin, master, having been dismasted
off the Wolf Rock, was driven on shore near Porth-
leven, where she became a total wreck. The few stores
saved, with the hull, were .
subsequently sold for pay-
ment of salvage. Our object reverting to this sub-
ject is to record the praiseworthy and disinterested act
of the salvors, fishermen of I orthleven, who, after the
sum awarded them for their services had been paid to
them, finding the property belonged solely to the cap-
tain, and it was not insured, generously took to Mr.
Cudlip, merchant, the full amount they had received,
with the exception of ten men s shares out of 103, but
example set by these poor
which was made up by other persons, and requested him
to present it in full to the captain, expressing their re-
gret for his misfortune. The plooofolfrseidir:yrtnrdecchtklmi.lisn,lybileesgsoigetner:
