On Friday afternoon, at tour o'clock, Mr. Fitzroy
Kelly received his appointment as Solicitor-General.— Times.
BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY.—
Yesterday a meeting of this company was held at the offices, King
William.street, for the purpose of authorising the company to con-
struct a line from Wolverhithe, in Sussex, to Ashford, in Kent,
The draft of the Bill was read by Mr. Faithful. It stated that
the Bill would authorise the directors to issue new shares to the
extent of 500,0001., and to borrow 166,0001. The works would
be completed in seven years, or their powers would cease. A
resolution was passed authorising the directors to proceed with
the line.
The banns of marriage between Mr. Stephens, an
opulent Englishman, and Mdlle. Yoladde Louise Duverney, for-
merly a dancer at the Opera, where she made her first appearance
in 1831, are posted up at the Mairie of the Second Arrondisse-
ment.—Paris paper.

EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF SALMON.—The cha-
racter of the fishing season, which, up to the end of last week, had
been uniformly unsuccessful, underwent a sudden and extraordin-
ary change on Monday. That morning both salmon and grilse
came up the river in great numbers, and in the course of that day
❑early one thousand were caught at the different stations below the
bridge. On Tuesday 197 boxes were dispatched to Dundee, to be
shipped by steam for London. Here prices have fallen this week
to 10d. for salmon, and Bd. for grilse per pound.—Perthshire
Courier.

DESTRUCTION OF A SWARM OF BEES.—At Cam-
, bridge Town-hall on Tuesday, Sarah Summers appeared to answer
the charge of Mary Ann Gifford, for having ddlltroyed a swarm of
bees belonging to plaintiff's husband. The bees had swarmed in
defendant's garden, and when plaintiff went with a key and warm
ing- pan to entice the creatures back again, the defendant refused to
allow her to do so, and a fight ensuing, defendant threw a pail of
water over the bees and destroyed them all. The court was filled
with the partisans of both litigants, and their frequent interpola-
tions caused some confusion, and the case appeared to have caused
much excitement in the locality where the parties resided. Oce
witness described the flight of the bees from the plaintiff's garden
till they lighted on a 'gooseberry bush in the defendant's garden.
Plaintiff's mother brought the skep and a chair, on which she
placed it, and began to beat the pan ; but the defendant, disregard.
ing both the music of the warming.pan and the laws relating to
bees, deluged the unlucky truants with a pailful of water as afore.
said. A witness on the part of the defendant denied that the bees
were actually drowned; but that, with soused wings, they flew
away by scares. The defendant was mulcted in the fine of 10s.
for the damage done to the bees, but without costs.—Cambridge
Advertiser.

On Wednesday last, as two youths were on the
banks of Floutern Tarn, a short distance from Ennerdale Lake,
they saw a large fish swimming about in the water ; thoy imme-
diately baited a hook with a small trout which they had caught,
and presently succeeded in capturing the huge tenant of the Tarn,
which proved to be a pike of about twelve pounds weight. The
most remarkable feature connected with this extraordinary feat is,
that no one ever suspected that the Tarn contained any pike, none
having ever been seen in it before, nor even in the lake.—Cumber.
land Pacquet.

RAILWAY SCRIP ROBBERY.--Yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, as John M`Donald, of the B division of police, was on
duty at the Hunt's Bank station, his attention was attracted by a
person in female's attire, but who appeared to have a most unfe-
minine gait. It was soon ascertained that the individual in ques-
tion was a young man answering the description of Robert Preston
Dawson, late clerk in the service of Mr. Blackburn, one of the so-
licitors to the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Railway Company, and
for whose apprehension a reward had been offered in the flue and
Cry, on a charge of stealing from the office of his employer 16 scrip
certificates of 20 shares each. He had come by the, Leeds Railway
to Manchester, and was about to start for Liverpool when detected.
He was brought up at the Borough court in the course of the fore.
noon, when he admitted that his name was Dawson, and that he
bad been a clerk with Mr. Blackburn, but he denied the robbery.
He was remanded, in order that Mr. Edward Reed, chief constable
of Leeds, might be informed of his apprehension.—Manchester
Guardian.

PUG I LISM.—FIGHT BETWEEN M`STRAVICK AND
Hearirsom.--This match, which was for 251. aside, was decided on
Thursday last, in a field near the village of Moore, Staffordshire,
in the presence of a great number of spectators, many of them be-
longing to the London, Manchester, and Birmingham ring. Um-
pires and a referee having been chosen, both men entered the ring,
the odds being 6 to 4 on M'Stravick, and both men fought well and
extremely hard, the odds increasing to 3 to 1 on M•Stravick, in
the fiftieth round; :and after fighting for two hours and a half,
during which time ninety rounds were fought, M'S:ravick was de-
dared the winner.
The state of the hosiery and lace trades, at Not-
tingham, is anything but satisfactory.

THE VOTES OF FREEMEN IN THE CITY OF LONDON.
—We beg to remind our readers, that after the close of the present
month, persons wishing
to acquire votes for the City of London at
the ensuing general election, sill be precluded from doing so. The
Reform Act requires that they shall have been freemen and livery-
men twelve months before they can be placed on the registry list,
and as this list will be made uplio the 31st day of July, 1846, no
person taking up his freedom and livery after the 31st day of July,
1845, can be placed upon it. All persons, therefore, wishing to
obtain votes should make an Inquiry at the Chamberlain's-office,
Guildhall, concerning the process, without further delay, as the
formalities of their admission must necessarily occupy some little
.;--

Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, a new and
large royal standard was hoisted on the triumphal arch in front of
Buckingham Palace, in lieu of the one that was nearly demolished
by the wind on Wednesday last.

- STATUE OF JAMES 11. IN WHITEHALL-GARDENS.-
The doubt which has long prevailed respecting the artist of this
statue has recently been cleared up by the appearance of a work
entitled " The Autobiography of Sir John Brarnston,'' printed by
the Camden Society. The passage is as follows :—" On New Year's
day.
1686, a statue in brass was to be seen (plaeed the day before)
in the yard at Whitehall; made by Gibbons, at the charge of Toby
Rustick, of the present King James IL" It thus turns out that
Walpole had a correct impression of the truth when he wrote—" I
am the rather inclined to attribute the statue at Whitehall to
Gibbons, because I know no other artist of that time capable of IL"
—The Builder.

The Bank of England has not materially varied its cir-
culation in the week to Saturday last, the amount being
30,047,470/., or a decrease of 4,140/. The Rest has been in-
creased by 3,2841. The public deposits have been aug.
mented by 446,647/. The bullion is 16,639,315/., a decrease
of 37,414/.
The Scotch Banks increased their circulation in the four
weeks to June 21 by 128,280/., but the Irish establishments
lessened theirs by 308,330/., no doubt in order to meet any
particular effect that may be produced by the new cur-
rency Bill.
The meeting yesterday at the London Tavern, in aid of the
sufferers by the calamitous fire at Quebec, resulted in a large
subscription, about 2,7001., made in the room itself, and this
before the arrangements of the committee were even made.
Now that publicity to the matter is given in the advertising
columns of The Sun, and other journals, we shall, no doubt,
have soon to notice that the above amount has been doubled
and trebled.
The Public Securities have been rising again to-day.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES•
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.

The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, when the further
eonsideration of the clauses of the Bill for this line of railway so.
resumed.

The claim of Sir Thomas Darymple, which we referred to Yes'
terday, was this morning settled by the Introductio4 of a clause
into the Bill to protect his property.
Mr. AUSTIN requested the Committee, as they had given a fa-
vourable opinion respecting the traffic on the Glasgow, Dumfries,
and Carlisle line, to accede to a resolution embodying that opinion.
The Committee refused the request of the Learned Gentleman,
and intimated they would express no opinion further than they bnd
done in the progress of the investigation.

The opposition of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company was ter-
minated by the Committee agreeing to certain clauses for the pro"
tectlon of the interests of the company.
The clauses of the Bill, with these additions, were then gone
lido and agreed to.

CWZDESDAME 3UNCTION RAXlMrair'
Mr. HOPE cpcned the case on behalf of this line of railway,
which is ►o form one part of the forks of the Caledonian line to
the city of Glasgow. He went at length into the leading features of
the B►ll, the particulars of which have already appeared, showing
the immense advantage it would confer on the district through
which it passed, in the conveyance of mineral traffic, indepeo"
cently of the passengers that might reasonably be calculated on.
The only opponents to the Bill in its present stage, he stated, were
Mr. Graham, a landed proprietor on the line, who was not satisfied
with the compensation afforded, Mrs. Hamilton, of Bothwell park,
and the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway Company. The latter Cont-
pany opposed them on the supposition that the present line gong
take away from them a portion of their present traffic. Having con -
mented in detail on the various points which he intended to prove
in evidence, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to call his witnesat"•
