THE CORK, BLACKROCK, AND PASSAGE RAILWAY.
This railway has been reaping a splendid harvest this week.
At a reasonable computation 'we venture to say that no less
than from 12,000 to 14,0( 0 persons have travelled up and
down the line ou Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday last. One
train held nearly SOO persons and hundreds have been dis-
appointed at various hours. The directors are all smiles; and
the very engines look gay and cheerful, especially one busy-
body little locomotive, that is perpetually trotting up and
down, and making a great a-do. The fact is, the company
are taking advantage of the fine weather, and are making
hay while the sun shines. More power to them, we say.—

INTREPIDITY.—We have great pleasure in record-
ing a noble act of heroism on the part of Dr. 11. T. L. Roake
one ship,
of the physicians attached to the Seamen's Hospital
moored off Greenwich. This gentleman was on his way to
shore, when the cries of a drowning boy fell in his ear. ; Dr.
Roake, without hesitation, plunged in, and succeeded in
saving the life of the youth, making the second person this
gentleman has saved from a watery grave. It is deserving
of mention that at the time he was in full dress for a dinner
party, which of course he was obliged to forego for the greater
pleasure of saving a fellow creature's life. tis stated that
the governors of the Dreadnought have resolved to present
Dr. Roakikwith a gold watch of the value of 2 guincag.—
