THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON

RAILWAYS.
(From the Western Luminary.)
A correspondent has favoured us with a copy of a letter,
which has been sent by the Lord Bishop of this diocese to
those clergymen with cure of souls whose names appear in the
lists of Provisional Committees of Railroad Companies :
" Bishopstowe, Oct. 2, 1845.
" Dear Sir,—Without the slightest intention of ascribing
any improper purpose to you, I scruple not to call your at-
tention to 1 and 2 Victoria, c. 105, ss. 29, 30.
"I think that the words dealing for gain or profit,' in
the 29th section, taken in conjunction with the exemption in
favour of benefit society, and fire or life assurance company
in the 30th section, may be held to bring Railroad Companies
within the provision of the statute, and therefore that the
being members of Provisional Committees might possibly
expose clergymen to the penalty of the statute.—l am, dear
Sir, yours sincerely, "11. EXETER."

SONG OF THE STAG.
(From Punch.)
The Railway lists proclaim the fact,
" Deposits paid this morn :"
All who have cash must sign the Act,
All who have none must mourn.
25% Bulls, bears, around the alley throng,
13% It is the settling day;
Then raise the burden of our song,
At last the Stag must pay.
With a hey -ho, chivey !
Hark forward, tantivy!
Then raise the-burden of our song,•
At last the Stag must pay.
Lists, prices current pass around,
Their talk is of the Rail,
Time Alley echoes with the sound,
And Capel-court looks pale.
The banks till with an anxious throng,
And money's stiff they say;
The settling's come, too true our song
At last the Stag must pay!
With a hey-ho, &c.
Poor Stag, for cash thy brokers bore,
And rueful is thy face;
All thy addresses serve no.more-
- Thy rigs are out of place.
But when the Alley runs the down
As a tremendous doo,
'Tis sad to think that half the town
Is just as bad as you.
Then hey-ho, chivey, &c.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—CLOSE OF THE SEASox.--
_.
-- These gardens closed last night, after an unusually long
- season, which we were glad to hear from the lessee, in his
- address, was prosperous beyond his most sanguine expecta-
tions. The entertainments for the close were varied and bril-
liant, and promise well for the coming season. Mr. IL Green
_ also made one of his perilous night ascents in his " corona-
- tion" balloon, discharging fireworks from the car. The grin-
- cipal artists engaged during the season just ended have been
retained for the next, and Widdicomb, Lewis, and Darby are
to be preserved to their innumerable admirers.

- " 'Pa Professor Holloway.—Dear Sir,—Within a short dis-
ta::ee of my house resides a small farmer, who, for more than

THE CORPORATION NAVY.—'We are sorry to find;
from an accident which nearly swamped the Lord Mayor and
neriffs a few days ago on the Thames, that the navy of the cor.
- ;oration of London Is in a very deplorable condition. The civic
- authorities were on board their barge, and had just made Lambeth
with a fresh breeve springing up from Millbank, when the Lord
_ Mayor seated in his chair of state, observed that the craft lurched
_ a little to leeward, and he entreated the Sheriffs and Aldermen to
_ trim the vessel, by sitting in equal numbers on each side of the
- table. This seamanlike manoeuvre was performed amid a few jokes
- at the Lord MayorA well known anxiety to keep a balance. The
mace lay on the table, among several empty decanters and a few
plates, each of which had contained sixpennyworth of sponge
_ cakes, when suddenly a loud wheeze of " Ahead there!" ema-
- Hated from the corpulentrold.coxswain who was intrusted with the
- rudder, The venerable old rowers still went on, for they
- being all deaf with age could not hear the coxswain, and
• plump they drove against one of the piers of Westminster-
bridge, throwing the Mayer and the mace, the Sheriffs and
the sherry, the aldermen and the sponge cakes, all together in one
dreadful jumble on the floor of the vessel. The crew, who at
their time of life have not the nerve to sustain a shock of the
kind, could render no assistance, and the coxswain, who is the
" Admiral Hyde Parker" of the City, a very gallant fellow, but

possible that a sort of cockney " Cromwell" would have declared
himself Protector, and made it necessary, some 500 years hence,
to inquire whether he should have a statue ? We understand that

. _
a Committee will be appointed to inquire into the cause of the ac-
cident. Some say It was occasioned by the upstart conduct of
Father Thames, who started up under the influence of a blow

. _.
from Boreas, which no river who feels its own dignity., wi:l tamely
stand. Father Thames should, however, learn to say, " Down,
swelling bosom, down !" when the lives of the civic authorities,

who are his own conservators, are dependent on his tranquillity.
For our own parts, we think unskilful seamanship, caused by the
very venerable state of the civic navy, occasioned the accident.

The Times suggests that a barge proper, stranded with broken'

oars, should be added to the civic arms, as a memento of the acci:

dent ; and we think a cracked skull, placed beside the broken oars,
would be still further emblematical of what might have happened.

JETROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT3.—There are two
provisions in the Coal Act of last session, which are appointed to
take effect on the 31st of December next, in respect to metro-

politan improvements. By the 3d and 4th sections of the Act it is

declared that, In order to provide a fund for the opening of poor
and densely populated districts in the metropolis, or for keeping
opening spaces in the immediate vicinity of the same, as a means
of promoting the public convenience and health, the duty of Id
per ton on coals, &c., shall, from the 31st of December, be applied
to the creation of a fund for the execution of such improvements
as Parliament shall direct or sanction. From the day mentioned
the duty is to be laid out to form an accumulating fund until the
fund shall be required for, and appropriated by Parliament, to th©
execution or improvements in the metropolis.
