Ma. WILSON AND THB SONGS OF SCOTLAND IN
LANCASHIRE.—After visiting nearly all the principal
towns with great success in Lancashire, Mr. Wilson
came to Bury, on Friday night, where he was received
by a room full of the most enthusastic listeners ever sung
to. Every person of note or respectability in the place
was present, and not the least noted of the company was
Daniel Grant, Esq., and his brother, the Cheerlble
brothers of Dickens. Mr. Wilson's selection contained
many of the finest Scotch songs; but he sang in addition,
in compliance with the requests of several parties, the
humorous songs of " The Laird o' Cockpen," "My
Spouse Nancy,' and " Get up and bar the door," which
caused a great deal of merriment. At the end of the
entertainment, Mr. Daniel Grant cordially thanked Mr.
Wilson, in the name of the company, fur the great treat
he had afforded them, expressing a hope, at the same
time, that he would give them another night as early as
possible, which sir. Wilson promised to do in March. It
was interesting to look on the worthy and benevolent
Daniel Grant, while listening to the old songs of his
country, as given forth by the "magic might of Scotias
owr. minstrel;" alternately were the good old man's
cheeks bedewed with tears and lighted up with smiles,
and the expression he gave to his feelings was synga-
thised with by every one present. Mr. Wilson's visit to
I Bury has afforded such unqualified delight, that,
when he may, he is sure of another crowded room.—
From a Corresponden4
A Correspondent vouches for the accuracy of the
following wonderful turnip, grown on turf land, in the
parish of South Leys, Rudbaxton, Pembrokeshire :—lt
weighs, without the leaves at the top, 261b5., and is 74
inches in circumference.
CAUTION TO CORN-DEALERS.—CITCUIar letters have
been sent by order of the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to the different corn inspectors
in market towns, requiring them to be more particular
in enforcing due returns from the dealers in corn, a
neglect of which subjects the offender to a penalty of 201.

RAILWAY WRIT OF INQUISITION.—There is great
excitement at Penrith, on the subject of a writ of inqui-
sition respecting the value of an estate called Oalthwaite
Ball estate, part of which is required for the Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway. A correspondent states that the
proceedings before a jury specially summoned, coin
menced on Thursday, and were not expected to termi-
nate before Monday next. The peculiarity of the case
which causes it to excite so much interest is not stated.
The plaintiffs estimated the value of the land required
at 4,5261.

From the same informant we have ascertained that a
body was washed ashore on the evening of Tuesday last,
between Llanddwyn and Abermenai. It was naked, and
was far advanced in decomposition. The left arm bore
marks of a schooner and a tree, with an anchor beneath.
The deceased was about five feet two inches in height.
He had small black whiskers.
B. W. Manning, the second mate, is thus described in
a letter sent by his afflicted parent to Mr. Griffiths. Ile
had black hair and whiskers, and had lost the little finger
of his right hand. He wore a silver hunting watch, with
the initials " R. M." engraved on the outside. He usually
had about his person an old-fashioned gold swivel-ring,
on one side of which were plaits of dark and fair hair,
the other side having a red cornelian. Be had in his
possession a valuable silver watch, a Russian leather
writing case, and several trinkets, amongst which was a
pin—a gold hand holding a peach. His trunk was of
black leather, clasped with iron, and bearing the initials
"R. M." in brass nails. He had also a smaller trunk,
covered with tanned leather. Nobody answering the
description has yet been found.
We have been given to understand that a letter, ad-
dressed to a Mr. Manning, was picked up some days
since on the coast. It came into the possession of Miss
Owen, Quirt, and by that lady was kindly forwarded to
the mother of the• deceased. The following letter has
been received in acknowledgment :
" Annadown Glebe, Can Galway, Ireland,
Jan. 18, 1845.
" Dear Madam,—l deeply feel your kindness in send-
ing me the letter addressed to my son, who was returning;
home in the unfortunate vessel of which you write. My
son was twenty-two years of age, and from an accident,
in a previous voyage, he lost the little finger of his right
hand; he had black hair and whiskers. Should you
hear of a body washed ashore answering this description,
will you kindly let me know; he was my only son; and
it is the Almighty alone who gives me strength to bear
this heavy affliction.—Believe me, dear Madam, your
obliged " E. ANNE MARLEY. '

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Monday last, as
Prickett, an Excise officer, was returning from Six
Mile Bottom, on the road to Newmarket, and was
within a quarter of a mile of the Devil's Ditch-gate,
two men stopped him, one of whom put his arm round
his neck, and pulled him down, and took from him all
the money he had about him, 3s. 3i. They asked him
about his watch, which he stated he had left at home ;
and after searching him for some time, they left him,
stating they did it from sheer want.—Cambridge Chron.

Loss OF THE SCHOONER DIAMOND, CADIZ AND
GLASGOW TRADER.—Notice was received in Glasgow
on Monday morning of the loss of the schooner Diamond,
belonging to Glasgow. She went ashore on the south
end of the Island of Arran on Saturday morning last,
and is a total wreck; but we are glad to learn that nearly
the whole of the cargo (wines) has been saved.—Glasgow
National.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MAJOR lIURT.—We regret
to have to record a serif:us accident which befel Major
Hurt, on Wednesday last. The Doningtonlliimnds met
at Chaddesden on that day, and ran a fox iota a sough
near to Howell Hall. Here the hunts Men came up
in a cluster, and as Major Hurt was riding under
some trees, his body came in collision with a bough,
and he was precipitated head foremost to the ground
with tremendous force. The concussion was a fearful
one, and on Mr. Story and Mr. F. Hurt (who fortunately
saw the accident) riding up to the spot, they concluded
that the Major was dead. He was conveyed to the hall
in an insensible and apparently lifeless • state' • having no
pulse, and the blood running from the mouth. Mr. 11. F.
Gisborne, surgeon, was luckily at the hunt, and applied
the usual remedies in such cases without loss of time.
Expresses were sent to Mr. Hurt, of Alderwaslev,
to Major Gell, and to Mrs. Hurt, at Wirksworth,
who, on receiving the melancholy intelligence, imme-
diately proceeded to Hopwell Hall. Mr. Gisborne
remained with the patient, who continued in a state
of insensibility, with the exception of a momentary
consciousness, all night. Mr. Cade and Mr. Wright, of
Nottingham were called in to a consultation, and we
are happy in being able to announce that when Mr. Gis-
borne left on Thursday morning the symptoms were of
a favourable character, and the gallant Major recognised
some of his friends. It will be some time, however,
before he can be removed with safety.— Sheffield Mercury.
STRANGE TALE.—We find the following curious
story in a letter from Munich, of the 9th, published by
the Journal de Frankfort :—" The wife of a tailor of this
place, named Hilpers, has suddenly become a Princess.
A rich Roman Prince was living at Brussels with his
wife, but had no male heir. The Princess having again
become pregnant, he threatened to repvdiate her if
the child should not be a boy. Sins was delivered of a
girl ; but the wife of a Jew tradesman, M. ll—,
being brought to bed at the same time of a boy, the mid-
wife made an exchange of the children, and the Prince
imagined he had a son. The boy died at the age of six
years, and the girl was brought to Munich, where the
real mother secretly gave her a brilliant education. The
Princess dying, however, and there being no more sup -
plies for the education and support of the daughter and
her reputed parents, the latter fell into poverty, and the
girl married a Jew dealer, M. Sch--, who soon
after obtained a divorce. She then entered as a sort
of housekeeper in the family of M. de Speugel,
and subsequently the house of the tailor, Hilpers,
where she embraced the Christian religion, in order to
accept an offer of marriage from him, which was solem-
nised, and has produced two sons. The midwife, being
on her death-bed, confessed to the priest who attended her
the fraud of which she had been guilty, and placed docu-
ments in his hands to prove her statement. After a suit
of three years the lady has succeeded in establishing her
claim, and has been recognised by the father, who has
settled his fortune on her sons. What adds to the singu-
larity of this affair is, that Ifilpers cannot make up his
mind to solicit letters of nobility, in order to accommo-
date himself to this change of fortune."
It is mentioned as an extraordinary circumstance,
that the white thorn on which Lamb (who is accused of
murdering John Brill in Ruislip-wood), is said to have
hung the hat of the murdered young man, has not grown
the sixteenth part of an inch during the eight years„ that
have elapsed since the murder.
FUNERAL OF SIR C. F. WILLIAMS.—The inter-
ment of this gentleman took place on Saturday at the
Cemetery at Kensall-green. The funeral was to have
been strictly private, according The funeral
expressde_ sire of
the deceased ; but to mark the respect in whichtew iht;), washe
held, a great number of genatedmaendecs
desire that their tlegal profession had express •
car-
riages should follow in the funeral
reeoertr,egteh.e The brother
of Lady Williams was chief d
having left any family. The decease gentleman was
called to the bar in 1799, appointed Chief Commissioner
in 1830, and knighted by her present Majesty in 1836.
lie was third son of Richard Williams, Esq., of Dursley,
Gloucestershire, and married, in 1822, the fourth
daughter of Ralph Browne Wyle Browne, Esq., of
Glazely, Shropshire. Sir Charles was a Queen's
Counsel, Recorder of Ipswich, and a magistrate fur
Hampshire.
LIVERPOOL.— SUGAR FROM VENEZUELA. The
cargo of sugar which we mentioned a fortnight ago as
having arrived from La Guayra, the admission of which,
as being the produce of slave labour, was for some rime
doubtful, is announced for sale next week.—Manchesiter

NEW P • tOMAIS
CATHOLIC CHURCH, LAMBETII.--•
The Earl of Shrewsbury has presented to the committee
of the above church, now nearly completed, a very hand-
some chancel window, value 500/. The interstices are
filled with painted glass, cotaining an emblematical
representation of the " History and Passion of our
Lord." The window is very large, measuring 30 feet
by 18. The consecration is expected to take place in
June next.
THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.---The Lance
of this week contains a contradiction of the rumoured
changes in the college. It states that there has not been
any correspondence between the council and Sir James
Graham on the subject of a supplemental charter ; no
propositions relative to a new charter have been adopted
by the council—no provision relative to the principles of
any such document have been sanctioned by the council—
and no details on the subject have been arranged. The
Medical Times, however, contains a paragraph to the
effect that the council of the College met ain
in
?n
Thursday night., to consider the provisions of the
tended new charter.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
BIRMINGHAM.—We understand that the London and
Birmingham, under the superintendence of a member of
the Beard of Trade, are having all their second-class
carriages altered, with a view to the greater comfort and
accommodation of the passengers.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.—This Company have
completed the additional agreement with the Lancaster
and Preston for the transfer of the latter line, in consi•
duration of five per cent. on the capital of 400,0001., with
an option of amalgamation, or one third share of the
profits above five per cent. All incumbrances, including
the lease to the Lancaster Canal, and the debt of I 13,0001.,
go with the property. The Lancaster and Carlisle is
progressing favourably, and the contracts have been made
on advantageous terms.—. Midland Counties Herald.
SALOP AND NEWTOWN.—A public meeting of the
inhabitants of Bishop's Castle has been held
in the Town-hall, for the purpose of petition-
ing the Board of Trade against the intended
branch line from Salop to Newtown, via Melverley
and Weishpool. The Rev. F. Moore took the chair, and
it was resolved to forward a memorial to the Board of

Trade, explaining the injurious position which the inha-
bitants of that extensive district would be placed in by
the carrying out of the proposed line. The memorial
states that a shorter, legs expensive, and more beneficial
line might be taken between Salop and Newtown, by way
of Minsterley Valley, with a single line of five miles to
Welshpool, which would include the traffic of the line at
present adopted by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham,
and would greatly benefit, in a commercial and agri-
cultural point of view, a district producing coal, exten-
sive lead mines, and various manufactures, forming a
remunerative trade but which the line at present selected
by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham entirely excluded
from the advantages of railway communication. The
line adopted by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, be-
tween Salop and Newtown, via Melverley, the memorial
further states, is several miles longer than the more
direct line by way of Minsterley Valley, which would
subject the inhabitants of Montgomery, Newtown,
Llanidloes, and the districts of North Wales, to a per-
petual and unnecessary tax from the length of the line.
The shorter line would pass through coalfields, and
supply a large part of Shropshire, Montgomeryshire,
Radnorshire, and Cardiganshire, with coal cheaper than
at present obtainable.
WORCESTER AND TRING AND RUGBY AND OXFORD.
—The inhabitants of Oxford have passed resolutions in
favour of this line, which is proposed to be made by the
London and Birmingham, and have rejected that pro-
posed by the Great Western from Oxford to Worcester.
The line proposed by the London and Birmingham
leaves Tring, uniting with the Aylesbury Railway near
Cheddingtun, then running to Bicester in a direct line,
crossing the Woodstock and Cheltenham roads, and ap-
proaching the Great Western station within 150 yards.
The Oxford and Rugby proceeds to Bicester and Ban-
bury, and enters the Birmingham Railway two miles
from the Rugby station, thereby giving the meat direct
communication with the north. From this line, a little
beyond Banbury, it is proposed to carry another to pass
through Persh,re, acrois the Birmingham and Glouces-
ter, to Worcester. The line then adopts the course of
the Severn, and goes to Wolverhampton, Dudley, and
other important towns in that direction—all of which
will have a direct communication with Oxford, and
the line comes in contact with Aylesbury, Bicester, and
Stratford-upon-Avon. The line will give accommodation
to a district containing a population of 140,000.
COCKERMOUTH AN!) WORKINGTON.—The object of

this undertaking is to eonin et Coekermouth and Jistricts
adjoining with the town and harbour of Workington,
and the port of Maryport and Whitehaven, by means
of the Whitehaven Junction Railway, which it will join
at Workington. The Maryport and Carlisle Railway
now nearly completed, and the projected Furness Rail-
way, will extent this communication to Carlisle, New-
castle, Scotland, &c., in one direction, and to Lancashire
and the south generally, in the other. Another object,
and the one from which the principal revenue is expected,
is to open out more extensively the valuable lime and
coalfields through which the railway will pass. These
minerals are already worked to considerable extent, both
for local demand and for shipment to Ireland and Scot-
lara! ; and it is confidently expected that with the ad-
vantages of railway transit, the present consumption,
particularly for shipment, will be materially increased.
Mr. Dixon has surveyed the line, and the result of his
survey and estimate confirms the opinion originally
given by Mr. Stephenson, that a single line of railway,
with the needful side branches, may be made for the
sum of 8,0001 per mile, including the carrying stock.
The length of the line will he nearly nine miles. Thecom-
mittee have also ascertained the traffic now existing along
the line, ant. taking the result as an average for the year,
the prospects of the undertaking, may be fairly calcu-
lated on as follows :—Present traffic, 11,7051. 19s. ; de-
duct working expenses (40 per cent.), 4,681/. 19s. ; total
7,0241., leaving a profit of 8i per cent. on capital of
80,000/. The preliminary steps have been taken for ob-
taining an Act of Parliament during the next session: as
the works along the line are of a very light character, it
is expected the a hole may be completed at an early
period. Of the propos( d capital of 80,000/., a consider-
able
portion has already been subscribed by parties
interested, and the deposit of 1/. per share paid
agreeably to the standing orders of Parliament. The
future call will be made at intervals of not less than three
months, and in sums of not more than 51. per share."—
Whitehaven Herald.
THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT AND THE SOUTH WALES
RAILIVAT.—A deputation from the committee of the
Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway waited last week
on the Duke of Beaufort, at Badminton, on the proposal
of the Great Western Company to carry their South
Wales line over the Severn by two bridges, to be erected
eight miles below Gloucester. The Duke received the
deputation with his usual frankness, stating that he had
been for some time in communication with the Board of
Trade, and that he had on all occasions enforced the ne-
cessity of Gloucester being allowed to remain what it had
all along been, the key of the communication into South
Wales. His Grace, in addition, authorised the deputa-
tion to make use of his name as a member of the provi
sional committee of the Dean Forest line.—Cheltenham

Examiner.
TIVERTON.—Mr. Brunel is daily expected in Tiverton
to arrange the formation of a branch from the Bristol
and Exeter Railway to that town. The nature of the
ground is favourable, and the scenery of a picturesque
description.
StitiTll DEVON.—Thin Company, under
,the advice of
Mr. Brunel, have concluded a contract with Messrs.
Bennett and Co. for the supply of 12,000 tons of cast-
iron pipes for the atmospheric apparatus. This is the
quantity for the entire distance from Exeter to Plymouth,
52 miles, and it is required that sufficient for about 20
miles, the distance from Exeter to Newtown, shall be
furnished and laid, ready for opening this part of the line
fur traffic in the ensuing summer.—Exeter Post.
GREAT NORTH OF Emulsm—A report has been
very prevalent in York, that it is the intention of the Di-
rectors of this Company to lease their line to the York
and North Midland liailw ay. We have authority for
stating that there is no foundation whatever for this re-
port. 'The next dividend will be at the rate of 6 percent.
Yorkshirtman.
BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER.—SOMe of the decisions
of the Board of Trade have excited great astonishment,
but none more so than the rejection of the proposed ex-
tension to Portsmouth of the Brighton and Chichester,
after the unqualified opinion expressed in its favour by
the landowners of West Sussex. It remains, however, to
be seen whether Parliament will sanction the dictum of
the Board of Trade.—Brighton Gazette.
ACCIDENTS.—It is a remarkable fact, that of all the
accidents which have occurred on British railways, not
one has proved fatal to passengers travelling in a first
class carriage.
