The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of
Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present
wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis-
trict, and affords direct communication between them and the city
of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of
the county.
By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with
the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain
the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England.
This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri-
culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the
river Bure, and to the maisters and traders of the district, in the
transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy
communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods
of every kind consumed in the district are obtained.
The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most
delightffil watering-place, will now be considerably enhanced by the
direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the
kingdom.
The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and
traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin-
ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly con-
tended.
This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the
Norfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yarmouth,
and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken
to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Company, for
leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal divi-
sion of the surplus pr)fits.
Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re-
ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering
difficulty.
The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best
for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference
with any ornamental property.
Application for Shares, which, on account of their limited number,
can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability,
may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the
Company, 65, Moorgate-street, London, in the following form ; or to
the Solicitors in London or Norwich.

SHREWSBURY, WOLVERHAMPTON, and
BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE " RAILWAY CHRONICLE?'
Sir,—The Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham
Company having some time since issued a notice that arrangements
had been made with the London and Birmingham and other Com-
panies, securing to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham the use of the
canal, I wish to draw the attention of the Shareholders and the
public to the facts of the case as they now actually appear, and again
prove how little ccnticlence can be placed in the official notices of the
Board of Management of this Company, which have ever been re-
markable for their total deviation from truth.
It appears from inquiry that the " negotiations" have been con-
fided principally to the London solicitors of the Company, and the
result is as may be expected. The important Association formed for
the conversion of canals in this district into railways have evidently
no desire to connect themselves with a Committee whose public con-
duct has been so exposed in all the leading journals of late.
All that has been obtained for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham
Shareholders is, that if that Company shall obtain an Act of Par-
liament authorising the construction of the railway, as at present
proposed, between Birmingham and Shrewsbury, they shall be per-
mitted to fling this aside and apply for another admitting them to
some indefinite union with the Shropshire Union Railway Company.
No doubt this will be a fine thing for the lawyers' pocket, who,
report says, have already had not a small slice of the 35,0001. which
has been spent in endeavouring to obtain an Act last session.
Should, however, the Shrewsbury Company intend to apply for
powers to amalgamate with the Canal Company in the next session,
there is no cause to suppose that they will be more successful then
than on a former occasion. Solicitors do not every day meet with a
body of men so " confiding" as the Committee of the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham Railway have been, and it is naturally to be sup-
posed they will keep them in their hands as long as possible.
Trusting the Shareholders will see through this new ruse, and take
active measures to call the authors of it to account, if not for their
own sake at least as a public example,
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Camberwell, Sept. 5, 1845. WILLIAM I'ORTUS.
'nTHgCHAIRMAN OF THE THAMES EMBANKMENT
SCHEME.
Mx LORD,
AM happy to see that a Company is at length
1 about to be formed for the completion of this great public
work (the Embankment) in unison with the undertaking which is to
be carried out by the Great Southern Railway Companies.
It is a most mistaken idea to suppose that any successful result
can be obtained from acting in opposition to the views and interett s
of the persons and boards associated under the name of the London
Central Terminus Company, upon whom your Atmospheric Line
must depend entirely for support. It is unfortunate that the private
interests of engineers, solicitors, or subordinate officers, or the petty
pride of Directors in enjoying the independent control of their
scheme, should so often prevent the accomplishment of so great a
national benefit; or, as in your case, cause the capital invested by
the public to be wasted in preliminary expenses.
I am, my Lord,

The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect
by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive
character, the mail and shipping port of Southampton and the port
and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties
of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick-
shire; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery,
and iron manufacturing and producing districts.
It is not necessary ill this case to enter into the question of ex-
pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity
and advanta:e of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted.
This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com-
munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester
and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile
valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con-
structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ;. thus making the dis-
tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route,
and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway.
From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon,
to continue the line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the
Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and
the country below as far as orchcster.
About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a
branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about
eight miles long, to Devizes.
It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon
the question of expediency of railway communication with South-
ampton ; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre-
ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An-
dover to that place. The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and
uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local
traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on
the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make
a line the whole distance, there being no existing line with which
it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also
open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton
parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of
Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of
traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the
powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line
passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the
county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that
county, obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is
considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and
the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of
Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the
alternate assize town.

Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line
to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they
are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom-
modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to
the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to
be stated.

By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury
and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge,
the port and harbour and the town and county of the towrk.
of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive
seheme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons
burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that
by a small, outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of
the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with
ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about
one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The
existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay
the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for
making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's
Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards
of fifty thousand tens, which, after reaching Liverpool, have
to be transmitted b} inland navigation about sixty miles to reach
their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every
ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this
railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which
are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more
extensive and ready market in the interior of the country, if there
were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans-
porting it.
The announcement of this project has been hailed with the utmost
satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over
which the line passes, as well as by every interest identified with it,
or affected by it.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE RAILWAY CHRONICLE.
SIB,THE only advantage gained by the Shareholders
of the Dudley and Birmingham Railway Company In their late
negotiations with the Birmingham Canal Company is, that they will be
permitted to squander, through the medium of their worthy Directors,
another 35,0001. amongst their lawye• s and officers. When Lord
Powis and the Shropshire Union Railway Company say they may
admit them to a union "when they get their Bill," they know that
such an unlooked-for event is never likely to throw them into con-
nexion with men who, to say the least, are afraid to face their Pro-
prietors. Even were the Shrewsbury Company to obtain an Act of
Incorporation, what security have they that any terms of union will
be offered to them that they could accept? The Shropshire party,
however, are not to be played with ; they arc determined to get a
railway, and there is to-day, I am informed, a great and important
meeting at Wolverhampton, at which they have resolved to support
the Grand Junction scheme, and permit themselves no longer to be
dupes of London solicitors and Committee-men, who have no interest
whatever in the district, and from whom almost all the parties of
local influence have withdrawn their support.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

acquainted with these facts,cor giving due weight to these

tonsiderations, can doubt that that portion of the French
nation, to whom these exciting appeals ers so -mis-
chievously addressed, comprehends a very numerous,
energetic, unscrupulous, and excitable community. The
Debuts, which accurately understands the necessity

. -
of sustaining this excitement by providing, from time
to time, fresh pabulum for its support, has now seized
upon Hong-Kong, with the double purpose of gratify-
ing the community we allude to with the contemplation
of the pleasing result that our acquisition has already
proved, and continues to be, the grave of thousands of
our gallant countrymen, and of insinuating that we are
already on the point of providing ourselves with some
far more eligible settlement on the Chinese coasts. But
the notion it suggests of the grounds on which we shall
" compel" the grant of it from the EMPEROR'S Govern-
ment is too eminently French not to be specially no-
ticed. It is said, "it would therefore be necessary
for them to obtain from the Chinese Government
either a new concession of the sovereignty of
the island, or to find an opportunity of exacting
it. Some imprudent attacks on the part of the Chinese
population, like that which took place at Macao on the
person of Mr. DAVIS, the English Commissioner, or that
at Canton on Messrs. MONTGOMERY MARTIN and
STAUNTOZT, and for which the English have, perhaps
designedly, deferred demanding reparation, may pro-
bably, in case of need, furnish the opportunity which
they are seeking. In the meantime they are expending
a great deal of money at Chusan, and are la) ing the
foundations of a durable establishment."

Now this is precisely the sort of claim founded on an
ex post facto statement of past injuries fur which the
claim of compensation has been postponed, that the
French authorities have acted on at Otaheite and in
Morocco, at Monte Video, in Mexico, and on the Sene-
gal. But it is a little too much to assume that Great
Britain would condescend to imitate a system of dis-
ingenuous policy that has already received the con-
demnation of all Europe.
In what we have thus written, however, of the extra-

vagant excesses to which the anti-English party in
France is pushed by its credulous animosity, we desire
to excite no contemptuous disregard for such manifesta-
tions. On the contrary, that party, we repeat, is nu-
merous, able, and powerful. Strong as the Government
of M. GUIZOT may be to uphold the cause of peace,
and of established institutians —vigorous and provi-
dent as is the character of the -KING of the FRENCH,
no man can foresee at what moment the vicissitudes of
political administration, the issue of party cabals and
intrigues, and the course of nature may deprive the
world of the guarantees it now possesses, in a wise KING

and improvement which has been commenced, we readily
admit, in many of the most important of our Executive
Departments, but which, if carried out to a point short
of timely completion, may even now prove but failures.
Among the still uneffected, but indispenable, measures
required to give its due efficiency to the most essential
arm of the national service—our Navy—we must still
complain, and we urgently complain, that no system has
yet been organised of the nature we have so often dis-
cussed for securing a present complement, and retaining
in all future times an adequate supply, of able seamen,
by the establishment of a half-pay or allowance list for
that purpose. We lament to find, that in acting on the
suggestions of the Commission upon Harbours of Refuge,
nothing has yet been done to develop the noble capaci-
ties of the harbour of Seaford, or to render the
natural facilities of the road of Dungeness
more available and extensive for similar purposes. We
must also express the disappointment, in which
we believe the public largely participate, that profes-
sional men of the highest authority and experience,
loudly announce at the still undigested and un-
combined results of the various experiments which
have been mado on the improvement of the
construction of war-steamers, and the architecture
and armament of men-of-war, with a view to the attain-
ment of the best sailing properties, and the most effec-
tive gunnery with the heaviest metal. The attention
and energy of the Admiralty still require, we fear, to be
acted upon by a ‘‘ pressure from without."

The election for the borough of Southwark will be
decided on Thursday next, according to the announce-
ment of the High Bailiff, and we therefore take the op-
portunity of saying a few words to the Liberal candidate s.
Mr. PILCHER, belongs to a party for which the electors
of this borough have, on many occasions, expressed by
their votes a manifest dislike ; he professes, it

;„ .oime liberal principles, but general pro-
cessions, all halv yr , oCIUVLII uear the test
of experience, and should he be returned, he
will, beyond all doubt, vote with the men whose moa-
sures their present consistent Member, as well as the
late Mr. WOOD, so often opposed. Should Sir WILLIAM
MOLESWORTII and Mr. MIALL persist in going to the
poll, they will play into the hands of the Tories, and the
votes of the Members for Southwark in Parliament will,in
all probability, he neutralised. In other words, Southwark
will be unrepresented for all useful purposes, and the ho-
nest, liberal, and radical constituency, will not be one
whit better off than the corrupt electors of disgraced
Sudbury. The supporters of the liberal candidates know
to a certainty which has the best chance, indeed, there can
be no doubt on the subject, and for the sake of obtaining a
candidate that professes most of their political views,
would it not be better to sacrifice one in order to keep
out their enemy ? The result of the elections at Man-
chester and Durham ought to be a warning and teach
the Radicals, that so far from opposing Toryism, they are
lending by their obstinacy the most effectual support to
its obnoxious tenets. Mr. FEARGIIS O'CoNNoR, as
if to add to the mischief, advocates the claims
of the weaker party, thereby doing everything
in his power to return a Tory. We do not blame him
for putting forth his peculiar opinions on all suitable oc
casions—we do not even suspect for a moment that he
would prefer PILCHER to MOLESWORTH, but we blame
him for want of tact and prudence, and for endangering the
Liberal cause by encouraging dissension among its friends.
Cannot be perceive what joy this dissension causes
among all the enemies of liberty and reform, and how
gratified these oppressors of the people are in seeing
some well-meaning, but injudicious, opponent throwing
the apple of discord among Reformers, and thereby in-
suring their own triumph ? Let us hope, however, that
the honest electors will not be misled, and that South-
wark will not be subjected to the disgrace which now
attaches to not a few free constituencies.

Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 29th
ult., when the city was perfectly tranquil. Letters from
Saragossa also announce that the attempted resistance
to the payment of the new tax bad been unsuccessful
and order had been completely restored. The QUEEN
was expected at Pampeluna on the 2d inst., and the
French Princes on the 4th. In reference to this inter-
view the Tiempo says :—" Whatever may be its object
and result—whether it be the Count TRAPANI or Count
MOWTEMOLIN who is to divide With MONTES the honours
of that city—it is at 'Nast certain that towards the mid-
dle of next month the Court will have returned to Ma-
drid ; and those fears enterta;ned by the most prudent
and cautious men, will not; be realised. Such at least is
our opinion, and as such we express it loyally and forcibly.
The marriage will not bare taken place ; there will be
no VILUMA Ministry ; nor, in a word, will any of those
things happen which some persons of our various parties
prognosticated."
No business was done on the Madrid Bourse on the
29th ult.

The Paris papers contain no political article• 3 of
the slightest importance.. We were glad to find that
two of the most violent .41 -them have taken up subjects
of a more useful char: toter. The Presse has corn-
!nenced a series of artif :les on the liberty of the sub-
ject, which, in France:, appears to be of the very
smallest amount possi :Me. That journal complains
that the law neither defines imprisonable offences,
nor the rank or s tation of the magistrate,
by whom a warrant may be issued. The accuser can
select the committing mad :is trate, who has the power not
only of arresting him, L ut of confining him secretly,
and forbidding all inter urse between him and his
family for an indefinite p eriod. We doubt the state-
ment. The Charter did zof leave the liberty of the
subject in such an un de fined state ; and we con-
fidently believe that rt o magistrate can com-
mit to prison, without a limited period being
fixed for the trial of the ac cased. The National com-
plains of the mode of appc ting persons to Government
offices, on the ground that a %, rcnan according to the presen
practice cannot obtain aG( ernment situation unless he
has gone through a regular • • course of study at the uni-
versity. We believe the pri ictice prevails only in refe_
rence to certain appointmei its for which, of course, a suit-
able degree of instruction i B r .ecessary. However, these
are laudable endeavours, a nd it will be gratifying to find
these rabid journals dire cti ng attention rather to the
social evils of France than , .eternally meddling with the
affairs of their neighbours. It appears from the official
journals that a division of_l rp inch troops, under the com-

mand of Colonel ST. ARNAUD, had made another attack

upon a body of Arabs, who had taken refuge, like those
at Dabra, in a cavern, but it had been conducted
in a more humane manner. Two dispatches, dated Al-
giers, Aug. 15 and 19, had been received from Marshal
Bucr.Ann, stating the particulars. In the report of the
15th the Marshal es an recount "of a successful attack
made by a French force under Colonel DE ST. ARNAUD,
on the 7th, on the Scheriff BouA•MAza, who was at the
head of 200 cavalry and some infantry. The enemy
was completely defeated. The Scheriff escaped with
difficulty. His brother, one of his officers, and several
of his cavalry were killed. On the Bth .Colone
ST. ARNAUD received information that the enemy bad

retired in a great measure to their caverns. Without
losing an in4tant he proceeded to blockade them.

The report says At seven in the evening the in-
vestment was complete ; in this operation we had two
soldiers wounded. There were, it is said, in the grot-

toes a hundred armed men. The various summonses
made up to the departure of the courier had been re-
ceived with insult and the firing of muskets." In the
report of the 19th the Marshal says—" The siege of the
grottoes of Sbehas has been less distressing than that

of the Ouled-Riahs ; we were able to devote much more
time, as the column of Colonel DE SAINT ARNAUD was
isolated, and was not required to mist in any other
operations. The explosion of a mine killed a few per-
sons ; the rest, alarmed at our incessant proceedings,
capitulated. Our soldiers, always humane, did not
show less activity in extracting these unfortunate
wretches than they had shown in labouring to compel
them to surrender." The report goe3 on, to state that,
on the 13th, Lieut.. Colonel D'ALTONVILLE, at the head
of 600 men, made a forced march of eight leagues at
night, to fall upon the Scheriff, who had retreated to the
rocks near the sea, in the country of the Ouled-

Youness. He again escaped, with one of his wives, to
an inaccessible rock, abandoned by all his men, and
leaving his tents and flocks, and the whole of his smala,
The same chief, however, soon after left his hiding-
place, and appeared at the head of 400 horsemen in the
territory of the Beni Zaugzougs. The Governor of Al i-
lianah dispatched some cavalry in pursuit of the party,
and also two companies of infantry to supp•Jrt the ca-
valry. The former, however, having rather incautiously
advanced, were suddenly attacked by 300 mounted Arabs
and obliged to retrace their steps, with the loss of one
killed, three wounded, and four horses.
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :-
" At En, on Tuesday, the King, with the Queen and the
Princess Adelaide, walked in the park from half-past three till
five o'clock, attended by the Minister of Public Instruction,
Generals Athalin and d'aondetot, and M. Brahaut, one of his
Majesty's orderly officers.
"Prince Jerome Napoleon has left Paris. According to a
report mentioned by the Gazette de France, he received a
promise before his departure that the law of proscription against
the Bonaparte family shall be revoked, or considerably modified.
" The Duke d'Aumale left the Château de Belfort on Mon-
day for Pampeluna. His return is announced for the 9th. During
the absence of the Prince, Major General Tallandier takes the
command of the camp of the Gironde.
" The Weser Gazette publishes a letter from Denmark, in
which it is stated that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that
country intends to go to England and Austria, with the view
of obtaining from the Earl of Aberdeen and Prince Metter.-
rdch the guarantee of the unity of the Danish monarchy and
the succession to the throne.
" The Cologne Gazette gives accounts from Tiflis to the
3d ult., according to which the Russians, after their success at
Dargo, were so much harassed by the enemy, and experienced
so many privations, that Count Woronzoff was compelled to
order a retreat to the Russian territory, No intelligence of
this kind appears, however, to have been received from any
other quarter.
" The Leipsic Gazette publishes a royal degree against
meetings and associations in Saxony, having an avowed or dis-
guised political object, as being contrary to the resolution of the
Federal Diet of July 5, 1832. -The late meetings for the dis-
cussion of the new German Catholic Church question have, it
is stated, rendered this notice necessary."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIB.,—My attention was the other day arrested 14 a state•
ment in The Sun of the 28th ult. regarding the Manchester
and Birmingham Railway. I have cut out of the paper, and
attach hereto, the article alluded to. It says :

,6 We are informed that no railway in the country exhibits
so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and Birming-
ham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as compared
with the corresponding period of last year, aro as follows :-
1845. 1844.
Week ending August 8 £4,453 £3 035
,

Ditto'

15 ... 4,216

3,332'

I have referred to the official returns, and find that the above
quoted returns are incorrect. The receipts Bth August, 1844,
should be 3,6351., and the receipts 15th August, 1844, should
be 3,5321. This gives an increase on the first quoted week,
at the rate (dropping fractions) of 23 per cent., and on the
second week about 19 per cent.
Allow me, by way of contrast, and for the information of
your informant, and through him the public, to direct his and
their attention to another, as yet comparatively little known
railway—l mean the Preston and Wyre—leading to the flourish-
ing port of Fleetwood. It is only 19 miles long, and the Man-
chester and Birmingham is 31, or nearly double the length.
The receipts of the Preston and Wyre for the last month have
been as follow, and I defy your informant to point out another
railway in the hingdom where the increase has been so great :

on lease, unfurnished, but we happen to know that within the
last few days he was heard to say he would furnish it splendidly
or moderately (as it might be required), but not for a less
period than three or five years. He would not like to let it for
a season, and then find all the gold taken off the gingerbread,
and this would be the case if it is to be furnished, as he is de-
sirous to do. The four or eight stalls and double coach-houses
at the rear is an advantage that very few at Kemp Town can
boast of.—Brichton Herald.
CAUTION TO Juaoas.—Yesterday, at an inquest
held before Mr. Payne, in the board-room of St.
_Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, on the names of the jurors who were sum-
moned from the Tower ward being called over,it was found
that there were fifteen absent. They were fined 20s. each.
JOSEP.II LOUIS PAPINEAU.— The distinguished ex-
Speaker of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, left
Kingstown yesterday morning, for Liverpool, where he this day
embarks on board the Britannia, Boston steamer, en route to
Montreal. This illustrious patriot spent a few days with his
friends in our metropolis, previous to his return to his native
.
land, after an absence of eight years. Le amnesty which ena-
bled him to return to Canada was granted two years ago, hut he
remained a voluntary exile till tamilyaffiirs of importance im-
peratively demanded his presence in America.—Freeman's
Journal.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ENGLISH TALENT.—Leiters
from Vienna speak in terms of high commendation of the re-
ception which Lord Francis Egerton has received during his
stay in that city, on account of his literary and artistic merits.
Thomas Austin has obtained the same civilities at Frankfort.
NOTTINGIIANI AND AMBER GATE RAILWAY.—An
agreement has been made between the Nottingham and Amber-
gate, and Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham Rail-
way Companies., and the Lynn and Denham Railway Com-
pany, as to the junction between their lints. The former com-
panies will extend their lines from Grantham to Spalding, so
as to meet the extension line of the Lynn and Ely Company—a
measure which will greatly promote the value of the property
of each.—Nottingham Review,
DEATH ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.—Last even-
ing an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, at the Steel-
yard Tavern, Upper Thames-street, respecting the death of
Mr. John Weir, aged 24, a commercial traveller. It appeared
from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Thursday
morning the deceased and several friends proceeded on hoard
the Wedding-ring steam-beat to Gravesend, on a pleasure ex-
cursion. The deceased seemed in excellent health, and
joined in several quadrilles and country dances, as the vessel
proceeded down the river, and on reaching Gravesend dined
with the proprietors of the boat. He returned to the boat in
the company of a young lady, with whom he danced as the boat
was on the way to London. About twenty minutes to ten, as
the steamer was off the Custom-howe, the deceased was ob-
s'rved to fall suddenly on the deck. His friends ran to him
and lifted him up, and sprinkled his face with water. A sur-
gecn named Savoury, who was on board, used all efforts to re-
store animation, but the vital spark had fl ad. The surgeon
was of opinion that the deceased had fled from disease of the
heart. Verulct—" Natural death."
