tended by Frances Lady Clinton, Hon. Charlotte Hud-
son, Hon. Miss Mitchell, Earl Howe, Sir Horace Sey-
mour, Sir David Davies, and the Rev. John R. Wood,

The Attorney-General had an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official

A deputation of Machine-makers had an interview
with the Earl of Ripon on Wednesday, at the office of

kinson and Mr. Curtis, of Manchester, and Mr. Fair-
bairn, of Leeds. •
Despatches from the Governors of the West India Co-
lonies were received yesterday at the Colonial-office.

The weather has been extremely severe in this
neieibourhood during the past week. A deep fall. of
snow occurred in the latter part of last week, which
was succeeded by a cold rain ; not sufficient, however,
to complete the thaw; the remains of the snow
now producing a picturesque effect on the land-
scape, especially as viewed across this vale to the •
Malvern range. '
On Wednesday the frost was intense
accompanied by a thick fog ; and while we write there
is every prospect of its continuance. The roads have
been much impeded, and most of the coaches which are
still left on this line of road thereby considerably de-
layed, although it appears that the communication by
railway has sustained but little check.— Worcester Journal.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—CU-
RIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday a singular accident
happened to one of the passenger trains. It appears
that a gentleman engaged fdr the conveyance of his car-
riage to Brighton, and the truck on which it was placed
was the last in the train. The owner, although advised
to the contrary, persisted in riding in his own carriage.
On the train reaching Balcombe-tunnel (one of the larg-
est on the line), by some means the truck became disen-
gaged, and left, the truck in the middle of the tunnel.
The unfortunate occupant, perceiving the train leaving
him, called after them, but in vain, and finding they pro-
ceeded on their journey, he became dreadfully alarmed,
being afraid to alight, and not knowing whether in a few
minutes he might not be dashed to pieces by the next
train. He had not been long in this suspense when an
engine entered the tunnel, puffing away, and the whistle
screaming ; he now considered his doom sealed, but the
engine proved to be a pilot one sent to look after him,
the truck and carriage having fortunately been missed
on the tram arriving at the next station. The carriage
and occupant were then conveyed to Brighton, where
they :wive(' soon after the train, and the only inconve-
nience N,vas the great fright the gentleman sustained.
The accidt
slit ought to be a warning to the servants of
the Company; as the consequences would be fearful to
contemplate ha,
•
a traiu come in collision with the truck.
The Bristol and Exeter Railway Company
have made a call of
101. per share ; this will enable them
to push on the works
with increased speed, as the call will
holds 200 shares, and ho
