PAPER PULP.—A parcel of rage, compressed into
a firm pulp of considerable strength, for making paper, having
been imported from abroad, the officers of the revenue con-
sidered it to be liable to the ad valorem duty of ten per cent.
as a manufactured article, but it was decided by the authori-
ties not to be chargeable with duty, but admissible as pulp
duty free.
IMPORTATIONS FROM IRELANDe—The imports into
Liverpool from Ireland have included the large quantity of
1,029 firkins, 24.5 half-firkins, 504 boxes, and 1,568 other
packages of butter; 2,088 bags and 604 barrels of wheat;
682 sacks and 19 barrels of dour ; 2,563 sacks and 1,652

FACILITIES TO THE SHIPBUILDING TRADE.—
INTERVIEW WITH THE DOCK COMMITTEE OF WORKS.—On
Saturday a deputation from the Committee of the Council on
the Shipbuilding Trade, consisting of Mr. J. A. Tobin, the
chairman, Mr. Hornby, and Mr. T. Lloyd, had an interview
with the Committee of Works, at the Dock-office, to nego-
ciate relative to the proposed scheme for affirding increased
facilities to the ship-b iilding trade in this port. The plan
for the formation of yards at the Sandon Graving-dock was
explained, and a shcrt conversational discussion took place.
The scheme was briefly canvassed, and we believe we shall
not be incorrect in stating that it met with the unanimons
approval of the gentlemen representing, the dock interest.
The meeting. however, was merely preliminary to a more
mature consideration of the subject on a future occasion.

GOLD CHAIN FOR THE MAYOR OF DERBY.—On
Wednesday week, at a meeting of the corporation of Derby,
the Mayor stated that the chain he then had the honour to
wear was the one worn by the late Lord Chief Justice of
England, and that it had been obtained from Lord Denman
by the Corporation for all future chief magistrates of the
borough. We understand the Corporation obtained the chain
upon the same terms as it would have been transferred to
Lord Campbell, if his Lordship had taken it from his noble
predecessor. —Nottingham Journal.
WINDING UP OF RAILWAY AND JOINT--STOCK
COMPANIES.—On the opening of the courts of Masters in
Chancery, the various lists of allottees that were settled be-
fore vacation will have to be reviewed, and disposed of in
conformity with the new law laid down by the House of
Lords, and there will be 120 lists of this description in the
cases of as many companies to be revised.
AUSTRALIAN TRADERS.—It is a notable fact, that
the Liverpool ships trading to Australia are double ;he ton-
nage of the London vessels to the same ports.—Liverpool

The lion. Mrs. Mackenzie and party, and Lady
Palgrave, arrived at the St. Katharine's,wharf yesterday
even;ng, by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-
ship Soho from Antwerp.
OSTEND, OCT. 13.—Lieutenant. Colonel William
and family, and the Hon. Mrs. Edgecombe and family, ar-
rived yesterday by the General Steam Navigation Company's
steam-ship Sir Edward Banks from London.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE AT LORD
PALMEItSTON'S.—A terrible accident occurred last evening
at the mansion belonging to Lord Palmerston in Carlton-
gardens. A number of men have been engaged in painting
and decorating his Lordship's residence, and amongst them
was William Abbott Cook, a painter, who, missing his hold
of the scaffold on which ho was standing, overbalanced
himself and . fell to the ground, a distance of nearly forty
feet. He was carried to Charing Cross Hospital, when Mr.
W. Jessop, the house surgeon, examined him, and found that
life was quite'extinct.
NEW LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.—On Thursday a new
locomotive engine, designed and patented by Messrs. M'Cono-
chie and Claude, of this town, was tried on the Liverpool,
Southport, and Crosby Railway, and following the trial of
Mes.srs. England and Ca.'s light engine, on the same line, ex-
cited much interest, and attracted several gentlemen who had
been invited to participate in the trip and give their opinion.
The object of the patentees of the engine was to combine
lightness, power, and economy of fuel, and we belive they
have succoeded in their aim. The engine, which is named
the Spitfire, conveyed a train of carriages from Waterloo-
station to Southport at a rate of speed varying from forty to
sixty miles an hour, and when at its highest velocity mani-
fested no oscillation whatever. The Spitfire is a four-
wheeled engine, with fourteen-Inch cylinders and twenty-
inch stroke, the driving-wheels being five feet six inches.
The working valves and pumps of the engine, which are
usually crowded together underneath the boiler, are on the
spitfire placed cutside the frames, so that for all the purposes
of adjustment, cleaning, or repairs, they are as easy of ac-
cess as similar parts of a fixed engine. On the whole, the
trial of the engine geve great satisfaction. It was constructed
by Messrs. Forrester, of Vauxhall Foundry.—Liverpool

Papworth, and the patterns were made by Mr. W. B. Simp-
son. It is to be 30 feet long, 20 feet wide, and to consist of
BO squares. We happen to know the work of half the fair
damsels who have taken upon themselves the responsibility
of the squares alrea-y appropriated, and have not the least
doubt that the carpet will be as correct as their lives, as
strong as their good intentions, and as varied as their accom-
plishments. Of the• time that is wasted over Berlin wool it
would be ungenerous to si.eak just now, when it is about to
be applied to a special purpose, but there are some to whom
a little advice on this subject might be useful. There is
something else to be done in this world besides counting "two
to the right and four to the left." We must wind up, how-
ever, or it will be said we are wOOl-gathering.—Builder.
ROYAL ARIN W ES. --
M OOLWICH, OCTOBLR I2.—An
exchange of divisions has been sanctioned between Lieute-
nant Tribe, of the Portsmouth, and Lieutenant Reeves, of
the Woolwich, divisions. Brevet-Major Stransham and
Captain Fleming have rejoined from leave. Lieutenant
Cooper has relieved Lieutenant BP übray from Deptford. An
opinion generally prevails that a portion of the Foot Guards
will shortly do duty at Deptfort dock and victualling yards,
as they did formerly.
DEATH FROM EATING PRIVET BERRIES.-00 Mon-

Barker, the Travellers Rest, Broomball, on view of

ew's

pany with another little girl, and on coming to a place called
eheppard Law, they saw a quanti y of the above-named

to partake of some, but she refused. In a few hours she was
taken ill, aad gradually became worse. Dlr. K. Wilson,
