BOSTON RAILWAYS.—•MUDiCipaI Corporations are
doing, at last, what a few years ago it would have been
thought infra dig. to have attempted. They find that rail.
ways will come within their locality, and they are taking
measures to turn this to account. The Corporation of Bos-
ton have formally resolved, that " in consequence of several
Railway Companies having given notice of their intention
to have their stations and shipping quays for Boston out of
the town, whereby the trade would be seriously inconve-
nienced, as well as the property in the town greatly depre-
ciated in value ; this Council feels called upon to protect the
inhabitants as much as possible against such injuries; and
are, therefore, resolved to oppose in Parliament all such
Companies as shall determine on haying their stations out of
the town."—The only Company which will actually run
into Boston, (its terminus being at Doughty Quay, in the
heart of the town,) is the Boston, Grantham, Leicester, and
Me land Counties Junction Railway Company, which goes
to Parliament next session.
THE BOOTY TAKEN IN SINDE.—We understand
that a grant has been made to the captors of the booty taken
in Sinde by the troops under Major-General Sir Charles Na-
pier in February and March, 1843. The amount of bullion
and treasure is stated at upwards of 400,000/.,—what the
value of jewels, &c., may be is not known, but they will pro-
bably realise MAU, so that not less than half a million
sterling will fall to be divided among the captors. To the
troops who were stationed in Sinde at the time of the battles
of Meanee and Hyderabad, but who were not actually pre-
sent at those battles, a specific portion (we believe one-sixth)
is allotted. The residue is given to the forces engaged in the
battles, after deducting what they have already received
under the head of extra batta on this account. The stamp
duty paid into the Bank of England on account of the bul-
lion and treasure amounts to upwards of 21,0001.—Allen's
Indian Mail. _ _

AN UNPRONOUNCEABLE NAME.—A Shotchnaan,
named Alexander Finney, drowned himself in Coneyocketies
Creek, near Buffalo, on the ]2th inst., while in a state of in-
sanity. If he had tried to pronounce the name of the creek
it would have answered his purpose quite as well+ by choking
him,-Bostert .bee.
