RAILWAY ROBBERIES.

Mr. Nash, solicitor, Old Jewry, to whose unwearied exer-
tions the public are principally indebted for the discovery
of Maynard and Garrett, the railway robbers, has received
the following communication from the Home-office, relative
to the threatening letters recently sent to him, daring him
to prosecute Garrett and Maynard at the peril of his lite ;
" Whitehall, Nov. 12, 1845.
" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant,
relative to certain threatening letters which have been sent
to you ; and I am to inform you that an offer of pardon to
an accomplice in such a case is unusual, but a reward of
one hundred pounds will be paid by the Government to any
person who shall give such information and evidence as shall
lead to the discovery and conviction of the writer, or writers,
of the letters in question.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
S. M. PHILLIPS.

" To Charles Nash, Esq., No. 6, Frederick's-place,
Old Jewry."

DUTCH MAIL.

GRONINGEN, Nov. 10.—We learn from good authority that
license has now been given for the execution of a railway
through our province, in connexion with that of Overyssei.
We are rejoiced that this license has .been given at a time
of the year when many labourers will be out of work, and
must begin to look out for employment during-the winter. It
is to be wished that it may be possible to commence opera-
tions speedily. Accounts from Emden say that the harvest
in the province of East Friesland is considered on the whole
as good, in regard to quality. In consequence of the potato
disease, all kinds of corn are high in price, and the condition
of the poor in the approaching winter is a subject of apprehen-
sion Old wheat is in the hands of persons who, 1R the expecta-
tion of higher prices in England, do not send any to market.
Old rye is quite cleared off, partly for home consumption,
and partly for exportatiot. The stock of winter and sum-
mer barley is small. Old oats are almost entirely cleared off
by large exports to England. The oats of last harvest are
abundant, and of good quality. Green and grey peas have
prodeced a good crop; but, in respect to quality, is not good,
and not fit for exportation. The failure of the potatoes causes
much distress in some parts of the province.
THE lIAGuE, Nov. 14.—Second Chamber of the States
General. A royal message was received with fifteen projects
of law, and an explanatory memorial relative to the exe-
cution of article 6of the fundamental law. These projects of
law are to be printed and distributed among the Members,
and referred to the section. _ _ _

The central section made its report on the project of law
for the augmentation of the budget for 1845, and on that
modifying article 27 on the law of the stamp duties. The
discussion was fixed for Friday the 14th.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—1 n the sitting of the Second Cham-
ber to-day, the central section brought up its report on the
project of law for encouraging the importation of provisions,
on which the debate was fixed for Tuesday next. The
Chamber then proceeded to the debate on the project of law
for increasing the budget of the expenditure for 1845, which
was unanimously agreed to. The project of law of modify-
ing the stamp duties was, after a long debate, agreed to, by
a majority of 33 to 13.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, EIGHT O'CLOCK, P.M.—Up
to this hour, and departure of the nail train, there is no in-
telligence of either the Great Britain or Hibernia steamers.
The weather Mrs not permitted any communication from
Holyhead by telegraph to-day.
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—We understand that
a Privy Council will be held at Windsor Castle on Thursday
next, the 20th instant, when a proclamation will be agreed
upon for further proroguing Parliament from the 27th to an
early day in January, then to meet for the dispatch of
business.
A letter from Christiansand, in Norway, of the
26th ult., says :—" During the violent tempests which have
prevailed on our coast, without interruption, for more than a
fortnight, more than eleven pilots have lost their lives in
attempting to board vessels in want of their aid."
STEAMER SUNK OFF LONDON-BRIDGE.—On Thurs-
day evening, about five o'clock, while a slight fog was hang-
ing over the river, the Waterman steamer No. 7, while on
its way to Woolwich with the tide, when off Old Swan
Wharf, came into collision with the Bee, City and West-end
steamer. Both were locked closely together by the paddle-
wheels; the prow of the Bea appeared to have made a hole
in the side of the Waterman, which appeared in a sinking
state. The Wedding Ring succeeded in getting about one
hundred passengers out of the two steamers, and landing
them safely at Swan Wharf. The Waterman afterwards
appeared rapidly sinking, and would have carried the Bee
down with her, but for the efforts of the Matrimony. The
Waterman, about six o'clock, settled down near the pier, and
at low water yesterday morning a chain was passed under to
raise her, but without effect, and the greater part of the
day the travellers by the various steamers were considerably
excited by observing merely the funnel of the IN aterman
above water.

POST-OFFICE REGULATION WITH REFERENCE TO
THE TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—Considerable misap-
prehension has for some time existed with reference to the
following point in the practice of the Post-office—the right
of newsvendors, and the publiw generally, to write the name
of the sender, or the initials of such party, in addition to the
address of the person to whom such newspaper is intended
to be delivered. It has been thought by many persons that
it is perfectly legal to do so, and the practice to a considerable
degree has been pursued, to the delay of the body of mails and
the annoyance of the authorities, as well as the vexation of
the public, whose papers have consequently been charged
with postage, according to their weight. Vendors and others,
however, may now be aware that such practice is contrary to
the regulation of the Post-office ; but as a most valuable con-
cession, on the part of the Postmaster General, has been made
in favour of the bona Ade newspaper dealer (that of the right
to have his name and address printed upon the cover), the
Miming letter, from the assistant-secretary of the Post-office
to a newspaper agent, is subjoined, by which it will be per-
ceived that the question is now set at rest by official autho-
rity :
" General Post-office, Nov. 13, 1845.

" Sir,—l beg to inform you that the enclosed newspaper
cannot be forwarded without full-letter postage, in conse-
qnence of your name and address being written upon the
cover. I beg to add that newsvendors are allowed to have
their names and addresses printed on the covers of news-
papers, but that they are not permitted to write them. I
am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" THOMAS LAWRENCE, Assistant Secretary.

" Mr. William Lawrence, 12, Great Trinity-lane, City:"
General O'Brien, whose name has been previously
mentioned in this paper, and extracts from whose pamphlet
upon the affairs of the River Plate and the conduct of Roses
have been placed before our readers, has now left this country
for Monte Video. It is but due to this Gallant Officer to
state, that he was in this country a most indefatigable agent.
By his means and exertions numerous petitions were pre-
sented to Parliament on the commerce of the River Plate;
and in his interviews with the Foreign-office here, as well as
in -France, he was incessant in urging upon the Governments
of both countries the necessity for the interference that has
now taken place.— Times.
OBSERVATION OF SUNDAY IN DISPENSARIES.—
On Friday forenoon Mr. Wakley, M.P., held- an inquest, at
the F`fend-at-Hand, Coloanade-mews, Russell. square, on the
body of John Herridge, aged sixty-seven, a boot-maker.
The deceaseJ died almost suddenly on Sunday evening last,
and his wife caned in a private surgeon, though she would
rather have consulted Mr. Lloyd, of a neighbouring dispen-
sary, who had formerly treated deceased successfully; but
she could not do so, as he dispensary, she said, was closed to
patients on Sundays. The Coroner was surprised at this,
and could scarcely credit a proceeding which could be only
justified by the cessation of illness on Sundays. A juror con-
firmed the statement, and said that certain dispensaries
afforded relief only on six days in the week, and rested on
the Sabbath. Verdict—" Natural death."

COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.—A thick blue book has just
been issued, containing a report of the Committee appointed
in the late session of Parliament to examine into the accounts
of the colonial receipts and expenditure, and to report on the
evidence, whether a plan could not be introduced to attain in
the colonial accounts uniformity, regularity, correctness, and
completeness. A good deal of evidence was given before the
Committee on the examination of 17 witnesses. The Com-
mittee sat 12 days to hear the evidence, which evidence ap-
pears in the book. There were 19 resolutions passed by the.
Committee, to be acted upon in the colonies with regard to
future accounts, with instructions for their arrangement. The
Committee seem to be of opinion that in order:to insure uni-
formity, an Act of Parliament must be passed on the subject.
Major Creagh and the officers of the depot of the
81st Regiment, quartered at Fort Regent, gave a grand
ball and supper to the rank, beauty, and fashion of Jersey, on
Monday evening, at the theatre, which was splen'idly fitted
up for the occasion. The entertainment was given in honour
of the Prince of Wales's birth-day.
It is rumoured that the Queen is likely in the
course of next month to pay a visit to Lord Northwick, at
Northwick-park, in which case her Majesty will inspect his
Lordship's splendid picture gallery at Thirlestaiu House, in
this town.—Cheltenham Examiner.
