Lord Teynham preached on Sunday week at the
Scotch church, Adelaide-place, Dublin. He is a fluent
speaker. His Lordship also preached at the Dorset In-
stitution on Tuesday evening.
The annual exhibition of the Keighley Agricultural
Society took place on Wednesday last. This being the
first show in which prizes have been given for all sorts
of stock (last year there being little else but pigs shown),
there was a very numerous list of competitors, and
some of the finest animals brought into the field that
have been seen for some time ; particularly pigs, and
to this department, the labouring men were large con-
tributors.

The new mail between Newcastle-on-Tyne and Man-
chester has commenced running.
At a late vestry meeting of the ratepayers of the town-
ship of Hunslet, near Leeds, held in the town school
-room attwelve o'clock, the Rev. John Clark, incumbent
of Hunslet, in the chair, it was unanimously re-
solved, on a motion proposed by Mr. Joseph Beckett,
and seconded by, Mr. Richard Bayldon, road surveyor,
that the money (about 1,000/.) which was paid by the
North Midland Railway Company as a compensation for
the land required for their works passing over Hunslet
moor, should be placed in the hands of trustees and
under a committee of management, with a view of either
purchasing or;renting land, and reletting it to the labour-
ing poor in suitable plots for gardens, or employing the
able-bodied poor when out of, work during depression
of trade.

At the Lynn Quarter Sessions last week the business
lasted only one hour, and at the Thetford Sessions there
were only two prisoners for trial.

'Considerable misrepresentation has prevailed within
the last few days respecting the number of tickets for ad-
mission to the Royal Exchange which it is said had been
obtained by the Lord Mayor for himself and his friends.
In one instance it has been stated that his Lordship had
engrossed no less than 700 tickets. The fact is, the
Lord Mayor has had nothing to do with the issuing of
the tickets for the Royal Exchange. The distribution of
tickets for admission to that building has been entirely
under the management of the Royal Exchange and Gres
ham Committees, and the number of tickets awarded by
that body to the Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, and
friends, amounts only to 12. Of that number three alone
admit to the room in which her Majesty will receive the
address. We believe that about 500 tickets have been
distributed among the Common Council, thus affording
two to each. Those members of the Common Council
who have been so fortunate as to be also members of the
Royal Exchange Committee, of the Gresham Committee,
of the Royal Entertainment Committee, in addition to
their share of tickets as Common Councilmen, have also
received an additional number of tickets on account of
their services on each of these committees ; and we have
no doubts the labours of those gentlemen well deserve
the extra number that has thus been awarded to them.
Another subject has also been mande the foundation of
a series of misrepresentations. It has been from time to
time stated that the Lord Mayor has not manifested that
degree of hospitality which the citizens have been in the
habit of receiving from his predecessors. Those who
have partaken of the hospitalities of the Mansion-house
are best able to testify how cordial and ample their re-
ception has been on all occasions. That his Lordship
has failed to satisfy some disappointed or discarded ser-
vant is perfectly clear by the remarks which he has been
subjected to, and we are not surprised at it. On coming
into office the Lord Mayor placed the whole of the civic
establishment upon board wages. By that course he re-
served to himself the right upon all occasions to apply to
the relief of the poor of, his own ward the remains of
every public dinner given by him during the season.
This practice has been strictly adhered to, and numbers
have profited by a distribution of excellent food, which,
under other circumstances, would have been most likely
misapplied, if not wasted.—Times
SERIOUS CAB ACCIDENT.—OD Friday a poor old
man, aged 60 years, whilst in the act of crossing the
Strand from Cecil• street, was run over and knocked
down by a cab, which was proceeding at the rate of five
miles an hour, this part of the Strand being at the period
greatly crowded with vehicles. A surgeon directed his
immediate removal to the Charing•cross Hospital, to
which place he was conveyed in a cab by two policemen,
in a most distressing state. The cabman was taken into
custody and conveyed to the Bow•street station, to await
the result, the surgeon having stated it to be his opinion
that from the nature of the injuries there was not the
slightest chance of his recovery, and that the accident
would be attended with fatal effects.

SOUTHWOLD, OCT. 24.—At nine o'clock this morn-
ing, the wind blowing fresh from the N.E., the Jubilee
yawl was launched from the beach to carry off a pilot to
a vessel in the offing. A very heavy sea struck her before
she cleared the surf, which drove her back to shore bot-
tom upwards, most of her crew being underneath.
Every mans were immediately taken to rescue them,
and all were saved except Edward Palmer, formerly a
ship master, who when got out had ceased to breathe.
The usual process for resucitating drowned persons was
resorted to, without effect. The deceased was much re-
spected, and has left a widow and large family to deplore
their loss. The Jubilee was the largest yawl on the
beach, and is all to pieces.—Suffelk Ckronicle.
LEEDS NPllttszt
RAILWAY.—The shares in
A
this projected line, which were last week at iSa. prep
mium, were yesterday selling at 2/. premium. The rise
is attributed to the probability of the atmospheric rail-
way being adopted.—Leeds Times.
We regret to state that the Rev. the Sub-Dean of
Lincoln is at this time suffering under so severe an attack
of illness that but little hope is entertained of his regp-
very.—Lincolnshire Chronicle, Oct. 2.5.
