NEW CHURCHES.—The thirtieth annual report of
the Commissioners for Building New Churches has been
published. In the last report it was stated that 449 churches
bad been completed, in which accommodation had been pro-
vided for 483,273 persons, including 281,076 free seats. Sub-
sequently 21 churches have been completed, providing accom-
ruodation for 14,793 persons, including 10,114 free seats for
the use of the poor ; and 32 are now in the course of building,
to the erection of which aid has been granted from the funds
at the disposal of the Commissioners.
FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN
RAILWAY.—On Saturday an investigation was gone into
before Mr. W. Carter, at the Railway Tavern, New-cross, on
the body of John Burns, aged 30. The deceased was in the
employ of the South-Eastern Railway, and was, with others,
at work at the house attached to the 'Cold Blow Station, near
New-cross, Deptford, when he suddenly crossed the line of
the railway, for the purpose, as was supposed, of going to a
shed on the opposite side for some tools. As he 'did not re-
turn for some time a search was made for him, and be was
found lying doubled up between the rails, a short distance
from the Cold Blow Station. The left arm was cut off, and
lying by his side; one of his feet was also nearly separated
from the leg, and the body and head altogether so crushed
and mutilated that those who went to look for him only
knew him by his clothes. The jury returned a verdict of
"Accidental death." It appeared that the poor fellow
crossed the line at the moment when the Croydon up-train
was just below, and the Tunbridge express train approaching
New- cross.

GALLANT CONDUCT.—We find the following in the
Malta Times :—« Some short time ago a marine from her
Majesty's brig Racer was transferred from that vessel to her
Majesty's steamer Oberon. The poor fellow was labouring
occasionally under temporary delusion, which arrived finally
at such a pitch that when the Oberon was last at Corfu he
threw himself overboard in the quarantine harbour. No
sooner had he thus attempted self-destruction than Mr.
Frederick Lucas, clerk in charge of the ship, threw himself
overboard to save him, and happily succeeded, notwithstand-
ing the opposition made by the marine, in bringing him safe
to the ship's side, when he was got on board. Such acts
need no comment."
SUCCESSFUL ANGLING.—The Hon. Dudley Ward,
the Hon. Captain Blackwood, and another gentleman, three
rods in all, killed, during five consecutive weeks this season,
DO fewer than 144 clean sal
