this country, a northernly terminus of the Provincial line
was to be established at Portland. It is to be hoped that
the surplus capital here will be directed to the carrying works
of this kind to the principal British colonies, as well as to the
East Indies, where a most ample field exists for extending
internal communication. The rapidity with which schemes
for continental railways are got up here ought to make
monied men very cautious how they part with their cash,
because if the plans do not succeed, their deposits will be
pretty well sweated before the companies will be solved.

for a deposit at the time shares are written for has been

Papers to the 12th ult. have come to hand by the 'Washing-
ton ' , from New I crk. Money was rather tight, and tem-
porarily the stock market was affected by this circumstance.
From Rio de Janeiro there is intelligence to the 11th of
March, and from Buenous Ayres of the 22d of February.
The political news is not important. The blockade by
Buenos Ayres was being more rigidly enforced, and no
vessels would be allowed to trade with the ports of that re-
public unless they could show that they had not touched any
where within the Monte Videan territory.
Some of the foreign railways evidently do not afford satis-
faction to the inhabitants of the districts for whose advan-
tage they are professedly concocted here. It is stated in ac-
counts from Belgium that the Louvain and Jemappe station
at Havre is a quarter of a league from the town, and that of
Jemappe, connected with the State railway, is four leagues
from Namur, and four from Charleroi.

The Railway Share market has been very varia-

progress. The principal alterations have been in the
Great Western, which have receded, t;:e London
and Birmingliams, which have advanced, as have tit's NevnY
and Enniskillen. In other shares not much change I.7as
curred. The French lines of railway are looking better--the'
demand for the best lines being on the increase—especially
for the Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Cette, the Great Northern
of France, and the Lyons lines. The National Bank of Ire-
land Shares have been quoted at par.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AT
YARMOUTH.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
SUNDAY.—One hundred and thirteen bodies have been
already taken out of the river; the number will probably
be 130 to 140, as many are under the bridge, as well as
those who have been carried up the river.
The bridge has fallen down on the side nearest Brey-
don, and forms a complete barrier to the stream and

at Clerkenwell Police-court, Mr. Greenwood, for the third time,
took occasion to remark upon the neighbourhood of St. Pancras
New Church. The magistrate said that this place was infested by
prostitutes and the very lowest characters. To such an extent had
the nuisance reacl,ed, that genteel females were afraid to walk
there, and the neighbourhood had now become so notorious as a
place of resort for these persons, that the value of houses in that
otherwise most respectable locality had been much depreciated,
and if the nuisance were not suppressed no respectable family would
live in it. Such a thing was really a disgrace to London.
PEEBLES-SHIRE ELECTION.—An active canvass
commenced on Wednesday last, in favour of Sir George Suttie, in
opposition to Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, the newly-created Lord of
the Treasury. Sir George Suttie is a son in law to the Earl of
Wemyss ; and should he be backed by his Lordship's interest, of
which there is some hope, there is no doubt that " there will be a
fine run."—Glasgow National.
MIDDLE TEMPLE, MAY 3.—The remainder of the
calls to the bar during Easter term by this Hon. Society were pub.
lished in the dining-hall this evening, and they are as follows :
Mr. Roger Horman Fi.her, Mr. Edward Bristow Phillipps Wynne,
Mr. John Dakin Gaskell, Mr. John Robert Watts Williams, Mr.
John Barnett Kington, Mr. Edward Bury, Mr. Ferdinand Francis
Ivers, Mr. James Peard Lcy, Mr. George Borman Skipworth, and
Mr. John Epworth Vance.
HUNGERFORD•BRIDGE.—On Sunday, at an early
hour, people were seen flocking from all quarters towards the new
bridge, and the turnstiles on each side were in perpetual motion.
Between the hours of six o'clock in the morning and six in the
evening, upwards of 30,000 persons are said to have
passed over ; but for such a crowd we never saw • battle
