THE MYSTERIES OF LONDON.
Publishing in Weekly Penny Numbers, and Monthly Sixpenny Parts,
beautifully Illustrated with Wood-cuts,
THE MYSTERIES OF LONDON,
By G. W. M. REYNOLDS,
Author of "Pickwick Abroad," "Robert Macaire," "The Modern
Literature of France," " Master Timothy's Book-case," &c.
Since the days of Roz's " Pickwick " no original work has created
so powerful a sensation in the reading world as " The Mysteries of
London." It was at first contemplated to publish it in monthly
shilling Parts ; but, upon mature consideration, the proprietor and
author resolved to issue it in a form which should render it aceessible
to all classes. The prejudice against cheap literature having com-
pletely died away, this determination was acted upon ; and a success
which far exceeded the most sanguine expectations previously formed
has crowned the work. The weekly and monthly sales, taken to-
gether, now amount to upwards of 30,000 copies. The thrilling in-
terest of the tale ; the vivid descriptions of London society, both high
and low ; the graphic delineati on of strange or remarkable localities
in the great metropolis ; the exposures of all kinds of roguery to which
the unsuspicious ones may become a prey : and the fearlessness with
which the cause of the industrious millions is espoused, have given to
" The Mysteries of London " a character which has become the ele-
ment of the most lasting popularity.

THE VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY —Thursday,
at one o'clock, the annual general meeting of the Vauxhall-bridge
Company was held at the George and Vulture, George-court, Corn_
hill, several of the influential proprietors being present, to receive
the report of the last year, ending the 24th of April; Mr William
Barron, a director, in the chair. The Secretary read the report,
from which it appeared that the receipts amounted to 9,052/. Is. 6d.,
including a balance brought from the previous account of 4,532/.,
11s. Id. and 4,3161. Is. 3d. tolls, collected between October 25,
1844, and April t 4,1845, and that after paying the necessary ex.
penses there was a surplus of 3,387/. 18s. I Id., with 2,5621. 10s.
in Exchequer.bills. The report being received and adopted, it
was resolved to pay a dividend of 12s. per share, the former divi.
dend having been I Is. per share. There was a decrease of tolls,
compared with the corresponding period of last year, of 834/. I7s.
Id. ; but that was attributed to Westminster-bridge having been
stopped up the previous period. Thanks were given to the chair-
man, and the meeting separated.
EARLY LUXURlES.—Thursday morning there was
a supply of green peas in Cevent-garden.market, being the first
which has been exhibited there for the season. These are not the
products of this country, but imported from Lisbon andaaniiai
island in the neighbourhood of Malta. The supply of cherries,
otrawberriee, French Wans, oucurellre, am., is ors the IaCANS'

Lord WILLIAM LENNOX rose and said that he had received the
permission of the Commodore to address the meeting, and that he
would not take advantage of the kindness granted him by occupy.
ing more time than was absolutely necessary in communicating a
proposal which a noble friend of his had volunteered with a view
of creating sport upon the river. " Our Club (continued his
Lordship) has raised itself to a high pre-eminence ; we have been
complimented by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron,
and other competent nautical authorities upon the admirable
manner in which, upon the occasion of the last Cowes regatta, the
vessels of the 7 hames Yacht Club were handled, and we shall
shortly have an opportunity of putting our seamanlike qualities
to the test. The Earl of Fitzhardinge has written to me to . say
that some time in the month of June or July next he will give a
cup value 501., to be sailed far by vessels belonging to members of
the Thames Royal Yacht Club, each vessel to bit steered, manned,
and handled by members of the Club exclusively. In short,
to prevent the possibility of a wrangle, that not even a pas-
senger shall be allowed on board who is not a member of the
Thames Yacht Club ; to be confined to the usual tonnage of vessels
who sail for the cup, subject to the usual rules, and the COMM,.
dore, as a matter of course, to be umpi.v. Gentlemen (concluded
his Lordship), I have now laid before you the terms upon which
the Fitzhardinge Cup is to be sailed for, and I confidently believe
that the proposal will answer the end of the noble giver by proving
generally acceptable to the Club. So sporting an event has never
yet taken place upon the river, and I feel assured that not oily
the competitors, but every member of the Society I have the honour
of addressing, will feel gratefhl to Lord Fitshardinge for his zeal
and liberality in thus coming forward to promote the interests at a
Club of which be is so distinguished a member."
The CHAIRMAN then read the names of the vessels entered for
the Club match on the 17th inst., which are the Belvidere, An.
tagonist, Prima Donna, Mystery, Vixen, In°, each not exceeding
twenty-five tons, and the Cygnet, Charm, and Wave, not above
twelve tons each.

With reference to the match to.day for the Silver Cup and
Cover, presented by the Right Hon. Lord Saye and Sele, the Com.
modore announced to the meeting that the Leveret would not start
in the match, as she was of greater tonnage than the class of eat.
sets eligible to sail in it. He also announced that the Enigma would
not sta:t, as she could not be got ready in sufficient time. Another
vessel, the Vixen, was also withdrawn, having sprung her mast,
With these exceptions, the whole of the yachts entered will start.
The following are the yachts that will contend for the cup. The
course will be from Erith round the flag boat moored off Chapnian
Head, about six miles from the Nore, and back to Greenwich. "

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON
THE
ASUTON RAILWAY.
—AsiiToN, THURSDAY MORNING —Yesterday afternoon, at three
o'clock, the adjourned inquest on the bodies of the sufferers by
this accident was held at the Commercial Inn, in this town, before
the two coroners, Mr. W. S. Rutter and Mr. Charles Hudson, and
their two juries, one portion of the bodies having been found in
Lancashire and the other in Cheshire. The inquiry of yesterday
was solely to investigate the cause of the accident, and conse-
quently excited very considerable interest. Mr. Chapman, the
Deputy Chairman of the company, was present, together with
several magistrates of both counties and a large number of share-
holders. Several witnesses were examined, but the evidence
brought forward did not tend in any way to show the cause of the
accident. One witness, who had been employed by the coroners
to examine the ruins, gave in a report that the works were not
constructed on a principle, or from materials likely to be durable.
The jury then retired, and in about forty minutes returned and de.
livered a verdict of " Accidental Death, and that they were una.
nimonsly of opinion that the cause of the accident was owing
partly to the bad quality of the materials used, and the negligence
of the workmen and managers. That both the contractor and the
company were much to blame, and that the Coroners be requested
to send the minutes of evidence taken during the inquest to the
Lords of Privy Council, with a view of having a commissioner or
engineer sent from the Government to inspect the whole of the
works of the company prior to the opening of the line." The
Court adjourned at nine o'clock, r.m.
