THE COB t, BLACKSOCK, AND PASSAGB 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 tc,14,0( 14,0(0 persons have travelled up and
down the line on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday last. One
train held nearly 800 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 stables. More power to them, we say._

Hon. TEIE CHLRTER House —The Right • Fox
)Mule, M.P., Secretary at War, and a Carthusian by educa-
tion, was yesterday elected to fill the vacancy among the
Governors of the Charter-house, caused by the lamented
death of the late Right Hon. Sir R. Peel.
INTREPIDITY.—We have great pleasure in record-
ing a noble act of heroism on the part of Dr. H. T. L. Roake,
one of the physicians attached to the Seamen's Hospital ship,
moored off Greenwich. This gentleman was on his way to
shore, when the cries of a drowning boy fell in his ear; VDr.
Roake, without hesitation, plunged in, and succeeded in
saving the life of the youth, making the second person this
gentleman ha- 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. It is stated that
the governors of the Dreadnought have resolved to present
Dr. Roake with a gold watch of the value of 2 guineas.—
