MISCELLAMMOVII.

A trial of new compositions by the members of the
Society of British Musicians took place on Saturday
afternoon, in the Hanover Rooms, by a numerous
band, led by Islr. R. Hughes. The compositions entered
upon the list for trial consisted of a symphony in C sharp
minor, by G. A. Macfarren ; a symphony in D minor.
by C. Horsley ; overtures by Messrs. Rackstraw, W. S.
Nfacfarren E. Stephens, and A. Mitchell—the latter is
totally blind. The specimens produced on this occasion
evinced very great merit.
At present there are practising, in England and Wales,
15,000 attorneys. They have contributed, in stamps for

tificates, 100,000/. more, besides their annual licenses.
A few nights ago a destructive fire (which is supposed

tl:e premises of Mr. Parsons, a farmer, at Braml, y, near
Basingstoke. In the course of less than an hour, a barn
filled with barlep a stack of wheat, and a beau-rick, were
totally consume°.
Saturday evening, the White Fast of the Jewish
nation, which is one of the severest fasts in the year,
commenced at half past five o'clock, and will termi-
nate this day at sunset. So strictly is this fast observed
by the "ancient people," that, during its continuance,
they partake of no kind of nourishment, not even
water. Oh Sunday morning, at daybreak,"the Jews

might be seea wending their way to the City swift-
gogues, clothed in the habiliments of death, over which
they wear a white surplice, and continue in fasting and
prayer in the synagogue the whole of the day, wearing
their shrouds and other death garments. The fa't is in
commemoration of the rebellion of the Children of Israel,
and the consequent dispersion of the twelve tribes.
The following singular arfl rare (if not unique) oc-
currence has just taken place at the royal aviary, in
the Home Park, at Windsor. It having been deemed
advisable by Mr. Walters, the superintendent of her
Majesty's aviary, in order to improve the breed of the
genuine Dorking fowl, that it should be crossed
with that of the Cochin-China fowl, the ne-
cessary arrangements were nitide for that pur-
pose. A Dorking hen, which has roosted for some
time past with the fowls from China, has recently
been in the habit of laying twice, and sometimes thrice
a week, eggs containing double, or two distinct yolks.
Mr. Walters, determining to try the experiment of at-
tempting to hatch one of these double-yoked eggs,
placed it, with several other eggs, under the hen. The
result was, that two chickens were produced from this
single egg ; one is a cock bird, of the pure Cochin-China
breed, and the other is a hen chick, of the Dorking genus.
Her Majesty has an elegant Erard pianoforte on board
the royal yacht, also another at Blair Athol, which was
sent thither by the Queen's express command.

EFFECT OF LIGHTNING UPON THE BRAIN.—A re-
markable case, illustrating the powerful effect of this
agent upon the nervous system, is detailed in the last
number of the Lancet. The patient, a young lady. was
seated in the country, at an open window, contemplating
the horrors of a thunder-storm, when she was suddenly
struck by a flash of lightning. Transient insensibility
was produced, followed by a violent fit of hysteria, in-
tense headache, tic doloureux, drooping of the eyelids,
and sickness, which existed with little intermission for
several months. The patient, however, ultimately re-
covered, the stroke not being sufficiently powerful to
annihilate at once the functions of the brain, and pro-
duce sudden death. An instance like this should operate
as a warning to those who wilfully neglect the means of
safety when placed within their reach.
RAILWAYS AND THE TRUSTEES OF COMMON
ROADS.—Mr. Vignoles, in his evidence before the Rail-
way Committee in May last, mentioned a case in connec-
tion with the St. Helen's Railway, where the Company
were compelled by the caprice of the trustees, to expend
10,000/. additional in carrying a common road over the
line, instead of under it, as proposed by Limself, the
engineer—the one road being in every retpezt as good as
the other.—Railway Record.

At length evident symptoms of the recommencement
of business in the new Royal Exchange are becomiai
apparent, much to the satisfaction of the merchants an
all those who have an interest in commercial operation
It is somewhat extraordinary that so long a per'w:
should have been permitted to elapse before the ne"
building has been brought to a completion, it being arf
nearly seven years ago since the old building was "e,
stroyed by fire. We are glad to state the Committee °f
Lloyd's, with a view of extending the advantages which
cu
that establishment affords to the mercantile interests, ir
tend to afford additional accommodation, and the Baum
scription will be reduced in one if not both departments'
The tenants of the old Exchange are making P
parations to take possession of Their various ap
ments ; but we hear that there are general complaints
the increased rent they will have to pay for their iota
lions. This is hardly fair towards them, the more ft) at
they have for so many years been greatly inconvenienced
in their business, by having to submit to indifferent Or
commodation elsewhere. The workmen have this niorn•
ing commenced levelling the ground around the nrir„
edifice, which we understand will be gravelled, in order
that, should the weather be fine, her Majesty, Frigv;
Albert, and the civic authorities may pass around th
outside as well as view the inside of the Royal Exchang:
High prices, we are told, have already been offered tbri
