STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT BRIGHTON.—A good
deal of interest has been excited in the town by an
assault upon' the Rev. Mr. Vaughan, officiating mi-
nister of Christ Church, and Mrs. Vaughan, by a
woman who is labouring under an impression that the
Reverend Gentleman is her husband. The female's
name is Jane Matthews, and the facts are briefly
these :—Last Sunday morning, as the Reverend
Gentleman and his lady were proceeding to church,
Miss Matthews walked up to them and struck at Mrs.
Vaughan with her parasol. The blow inflicted a wound
in her face, from which blood flowed. Mr. Vaughan
turned his attention to Mrs. Vaughan, and the woman
escaped. In the evening Miss Matthews attended
Christ Church, and as the reverend gentleman was
leaving his desk she rushed towards him, evidently
with a view of assaulting him, but, on being observed
by the clerk and beadle, she was secured and taken
to the Town-hall. Mr. Vaughan subsequently took oat
a summons against her, and the case came on for
hearing on Wednesday, la, fore the magistrates at the
Town-hall, when the above facts were stated by Mr.
Vaughan, who also added that the defendant had fre-
quently called upon him, and sent him letters addressed
"James, Bishop of Jerusalem." After an examination
which lasted two hours, and in which it was evident the
unfortucate female was labouring under aberration of
mind, the magistrates adjourned the case till Thursday,
and in the meantime she was to be examined by some
medical gentlemen as to the state of her mind.
RATING OF THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAIL-
WAY.—Among the Appendices to the Fifth Report of the
Select Committee on Railways, there is an elaborate table of
parochial assessments in the several parishes intersected by
the London and Birmingham Railway. From this table it
appears that the railway passes through eight parishes in the
county of Middlesex, ten in the county of Hertford, twenty-.
three in Buckinghimshire, twenty in Northamptonshire,
eighteen in Warwickshire (including the county of the city
of Coventry), and -one in Worcestershire. The total of as-
sessment on the railway and buildings in these parishes was,
on the 31st December last, 14.1591. Is. Bd.; the "value of
the land occupied by the raili,ey at the average rateable
value per acre, of the seveial parishes," 2,4451. 2s. 7d.-; ana
the " additional valut derived by the landed property, of the
parishes from the assessment of the railway with reference to
rates only—assuming such value at twenty years purchase,
of the annual rent-charge from which the rating of the rail-
way has relieved the parishes" not less than 360,3121. Surely
the rate-payek have reason to rejoice that the railway was
established !—Railway Record.
LORD BLOOMFIELD.—We are happy to state that

to the great gratification of the garrison at Woolwich, the
Gallant and respected Commandant. of the Artillery, Lieut.-
General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.8., G.C.H., is rapidly reco-
vering from his late severe indisposition. His Lordship is

C 7
able to take his usual daily carriage exercise.
Lord Heytesbury, G.C.8., the successor of Earl
De Grey in the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, is in his 65th
year, and has been Ambassador at the Courts of St. Peters-
burgh, Naples, Madrid, and Lisbon. He was appointed Go-
vernor-General of India on the accession of Sir Robert Peel to
office in 1834, but on the return of the Whigs in 1835, the
appointment was cancelled. The Noble Lord married the
daughter of the late Hon. W. H. Bouverie, grand-daughter of
the first Earl of Radnor. His Lordship's son, the Hon. W.
H. A. A'Court Holmes, who married the daughter of the late
Sir Leonard Holmes, is Member for the Isle of Wight.
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—STEAM-BOATS.—On
Saturday last, the Directors of the South-Eastern Railway
and a select party of friends made a trip to Calais, principally
for the purpose of testing the speed of the new boat the Prin-
cess Mary. The distance from the Bricklayers' Arms terminus
to Dever was accomplished in two hours and twenty-eight
minutes, including a stoppage of twelve minutes at Folke-
stone. The distance from Dover to Calais was done in two
hours and ten minutes. Many of the party breakfasted in
town, lunched at' Calais, dined at Dover, and were back again
in London in time for the last act of ie Opera ! This cer-
tainly is sharp work.—Railway Record.
PLEASING RESULTS.---With the gaiety assumed by
nature in the brightness of the summer season there are
few disinclined to participate; and in pursuit of those
rat;onal enjoyments personal agremens, in all their
variety, are necessarily objects of desire—those, of
which the perfection and durability are at once obvious
and important, meet their most available preservative in
Gowland's Lotion ; first, as a decided remedy fur all
cutaneous impurities • and, secondly, as an elegant, mild,
and effective appendage to the toilet, removing every
species of local discolouration, de:ending the skin from
al the well-known effects of heat upon its surface, and
as contributing largely to continued delicacy and fresh-
ness of the complexion.
A SLAVE WHIPPED TO DEATIL—A man by the
name of Lamb (?) was recently tried at Charleston, South
Carolina, fur whipping; a negro to death. Though it was
proved that he inflicted 350 lashes, well laid on, in twenty-_
four hours, and that the slave died soon after, the jury found
him Not Guilty ! And such are the tender mercies of
slavery—the institution of the patriarchs !—Anti-Slavery
Reporter.
