PRACTICAL OVERTHROW OF
That
disant Philosophes and Philanthropists have long la-
boured for in vain, is about being accomplished by
the most simple and natural means. The efforts
of a former Lord Mayor of London (Alderman
Wilson), assisted by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Bishop of London, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr.
Joseph Hume, and a numerous host of other public
men, lay and clerical, Whig and Tory, with the
giant power of the Jupiters of the Public Press,
could effect nothing. The great principles of sup-
ply and demand, price and quality, must triumph
in the long run; but at that period people dis-
covered that though they might demand, they could
not be supplied with the best coal, save by the mono-
polists, and that reduction in price was more than
counterbalanced by rubbish in quality. All this will
soon be changed. That which could not bieffected
by Bishops, will be accomplished by Vicars* (our
readers will pardon the pun). The projected railway
of our energetic townsman, called the " Lincoln,
York, and Leeds," and further christened by a dis-
tinguished nobleman " The Direct and Independent
Railway," and which, moreover, we observe by the
Times and other journals, has been so well received
by the public as to command an immediate premium,
is to have a branch line to Goole, opening a
direct communication both north and south with
Lord Fitzwilliam's immense field of the celebrated
Elsecar coal—" black diamond" that do not burn
white. This coal, which is considered by practical
men to be equal to the " Wallsend " of Durham and
Northumberland, can be delivered in London and
many other places at little more than half the
prices at present extorted from the shivering
Cockneys. The supply is enormous, and will last for
centuries, without the necessity of sinking deep "into
the bowels of the earth," as the more northern coal-
owners are compelled to do. Hence the traffic on
the new line will be immense, while the transit will
not be less so, seeing that the Lincoln, York, and
Leeds Railway, with its Goole branch, will commu-
nicate with Sheffield and Manchester, London and
Leeds, the " North Midland," " Midland Coun-
ties," and " Birmingham Railways," forming the
best communication from North to South, and the
most desirable route between all the great manu-
facturing districts. Having those advantages, in
addition to a nearly level line of country, with no
engineering difficulties, and of consequence great
economy of outlay, there is little wonder that such
shrewd and practical men as the Earl Fitzwilliam,
the Vice-Chancellor of England, the Vice-Chancellor
of the University of Cambridge, the Mayor of Cam-
bridge, his civic brethren of Ripon and Pontefract,
and even the " unaccountable" Lord Mayor of Lon-
don (to whom no one denies the possession of suffi-
cient shrewdness), have publicly, and by position,
connected themselves with these railways. It seems
to us, from the late period at which " the London,
York, and Leeds line," with its important branchee,
has made its appearance, and been so eagerly snapped
up, as to be at a premium the very first day, that the
Scotchman's definition of a feast may be applied to
the shoal of railway projects, "the best's aye the
hindermost."—Sheffield
''' Alderman W. Vickers, of Sheffield and London,
feunder of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and Lincoln,
Leeds, and York lines of Railway.

ACCIDENT ON TILE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY..
Yesterday morning an accident occurred upon this line
of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal
result. A goods train left Paddington at half-past four
o'clock in the morning, and stopped at the West London
junction at Wormwood Scrubs, to attach another car-
riage. One of the guards named lloratia Nelson Tol-
verney, descended for the purpose of attaching the con-
necting chain or driving bar, and imprudently ventured
in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the
former was in the act of backing into the " siding" where
that truck stood. The consequence of such an impru-
dent step was, that as the man stooped to adjust the
chain, his head became jammed between the buffers of
the last truck in the goods train and the stationary one.
The unfortunate man dropped instantly. He was picked
up immediately in a senseless state, with the blood
pouring from his ears. A messenger was instantly
dispatched to the terminus for a cab, and, on its arrival,
the poor fellow was taken to St. George's Hospital,
where, upon examination, it was ascertained that ho had}
received a severe fracture at the base of the skull, and
the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that
his recovery was thought uncertain.
SOIREE TO MR. SrENCER IIALL.—On Wednesday
evening, a soiree in honour of this gentleman, who has
been delivering a course of lectures in the principal
towns of the North, took place at the Northumberland
Arms hotel, Nor,h Shields, which was attended by
several medical gentlemen and other influential inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood. A. Meggitt, Esq.. Ka,
presided, surrounded by Messrs. Stephens and M‘liinloy,
surgeons; Mr. W. Walker, J. Scott, Esq., J. Lister, Esq.,
Mr. G. Bradley, editor of the Sunder/and Herald, Mr.
Blackwood, Mr. S. Sutherland, ironmonger, of South
Shields, who had been successfully operated upon in
public by Mr. hall on the preceding evening, &c., &c.h
J. Owen, Esq , surgeon, of Tynomouth, occupied t
vice-chair. After the cloth was drawn, the Chairman
proposed the health of their guest, which was drank in
an enthusiastic manner. Mr. Hall responded,
and feeling speech. Several other toasts were drank,
and speeches delivered by different gentlemen, especially
referring to the progress which mesmerism has made in
this district, and the extraordinary cures which have
been effected through its instrumentality. Mr. I.lall left
on the following morning for Sheffield and London.
ROBBERY OF CIIURCII PLATE.—Some months
back the church of St. Thomas, Southwark, was broken
into, and the communion-plate stolen. On the 22d inst.
'the Rev. W. Dee, the incumbent, received the following
letter. It is hardly necessary to say that the appoint-
ment was not kept. The value of the stolen plate does
not much exceed 501.:
" Reverd Sir,—The reward as is offred is not enuff for
the plate removed from the church as the expenses as
been very heavy and the anxiety if you are dispoad to
make it fifty pounds to be divided amonst ns it may be
restord as this is the first time have had to do with a
church. I cannot hold conversation with any body but
you reverd sir, if you will meet me at 12 o'clk on
wensday night and give asurance for the payment of the
money but you must not bring any body with you and if
you will go on the mountain on Clapham common at that
time I will see you and come and speak to you by myself;
" honour among thieves.
" Tuesday.
" and the plate shall bo restor'd, as I know yourperson
very well."
NEW POOR-LAWS.—We understand it is the in-
tention of her Majesty's Ministers to introduce a Bill.
during the coming session of Parliament, to amend the
New Poor-laws. It is proposed to make all the metro-
politans there magistrates Poor-law Commissioners
are more paupers relieved at the police-courts,expected
all the hostiles in London. This alterationsthey then hope
is a
/ban at
to give great satisfaction to the poora
to be favoured with prison diet, which is looked upon as
feasting.—Puna.
