The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers,

cers, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Pipe and Tahor, &c., will be ex-

The science of Archery, but for the manly and spirit-stirring efforts
of the Archery Clubs, would soon become a " Tale of by-gone Days,"
co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood
Forest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with
" the shouts of the foresters bold."
" Hail to our leader, brave Robin Hood,
For a noble marksman and forester good."

For talking age and whispering lovers made."—GmustdrrU.

OVERTURNING OF A SHIP AND NARROW ESCAPE
OF THE CaEw. —On Friday morning the brig Flirt was going
down the river with reefed topsails and foresail set, when she
was overtaken in Woolwich reach by a sudden squall of wind
and rain from the south-west, and being very light, and with
no ballast on board, was blown over on her larboard side, and
began to fill. The master of the vessel and his crew got on to
the rigging, and thence to the hull. The brig was fast going
down in deep water, and the destruction of all hands appeared
inevitable, when the Waterman, No. 11, on her way to Lon-
don. made her way towards the sinking vessel, and upon corning
alongside her keel was visible about two feet above the water.
Mr. Leonard, an inspector of Thames police, and his boat's
crew, came up at the same time, and having rescued the cap-
tain and crew, put them on board the Waterman. A warp was
then run out from the steamer, and the Flirt was towed by the
Waterman into shallow'water, and she ssttled down immedi-
ately afterwards.

IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-
DUBLIN TO GALWAY.—The Dublin and Galway Bill
having been lost for this Session, the Provisional Committee have
to acquaint the scrip-holders and the Public that, et a meeting of
the Board, held this day, it has been resolved to proceed to'procure
an Act in the next Session of Parliament, for making the Railway
between Dublin and Galway, the success of which appears to be
insured by the decision of the House of Commons in favour of the
merits of this line, and the strong expressions of a like tendency
elicited in the debates in the House of Lords. The line will have the
strenuous support of the great landed proprietors generally, and of
other interests throughout the west of Ireland, as well as the cordial
co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company.
The interests of the present scrip-holders will be carefully pro-
tected in the arrangements to be made, full particulars of which will
be published in a few days.
