THE RIVER.—Soon after the commencement of
flood tide, early yesterday morning, the Thamt•s, from the
Nore upwards, presented a very bustling appearance, i% conse-
quence of the arrival of a large portion of the fleet of vessels
that had been so long detained by the easterly winds in the
Channel.

St. LEONA.RD'S-ON-SEA.—r.che following unfortu-
nate accident with loss of four lives, took place immediately off
the Royal Victoria Hotel, on Wednesday morning :—A small
sailing-boat, containing an old and experienced boatman of
the name of Stevens, a footman in the service of the Rev. Mr.
Pettit, of 65, Marina, and a footman and page in the service
of Mr. Dawkins, of 70, Marina, left this town this morning
at 5 A. M., for a sail ; at 7, at about a mile from shore
she was seen turning round for the shore, and immedi-
diately (as if from a sudden gust of wind) to fall over upon her
side and sink. A boat was immediately put off from the
shore, and several others followed; but were unable to dis-
cover anything belonging to the boat or crew. Up to nine
r. a., although unceasing exertions have been and are making,
nothing has been picked up or any trace of the boat or bodies
discovered. It is singular that one of the coast guard on duty
saw the boat go down, but did not see any of the crew appear.
Stevens was knows to be a good swimmer.
CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—The Fleet-street end of
Fetter-lane has at length been barricaded, while the houses are
about to be pulled down to effect a communication of a proper
width with Holborn and which will join the western end
of the viaduct to be erected from the top of Holborn-hill (leav-
ing St. Andrew's Church to the north) across Shoe-lane, Far-
ringdon-street, through Green Arbour-court to the Old Bailey.
On Sunday last a female, nearly eighty years of
ago, went to the hospital of La Pitie to see her husband, to
whom she had been married 47 years, and who was a patient in
that establishment. On her arrival, the poor woman, whose
anxiety to see her husband was excessive, was informed that he
had just died. The shock was too great for her ; she fell down
in a fit, and in a few moments expired.
RAILWAY DUTY.—The proposed commutation by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the railway passengers' tax,
of one-eighth of a penny per head per mile, to a general pay-
ment of .5 per cent. on the grosss receipts, is expected to cause
a loss to some of the great metropolitan lines, but to prove of
the greatest benefit to others, especially the Scotch, as the cheap
carrying lines, having to compete with steam-boats, have fre-
quently never realized any profit whatever. The alteration
will moreover, enable the companies to increase the accommo-
dation to the third class passengers, and perhaps to add a fourth
class.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary monthly
meeting for general business was held yesterday afternoon at
the rooms of the Society in Pall-mall. The Report of the
auditors and council given in at the anniversary meeting was
read, from which it appeared that the total income of the
Society for the last year was 11,691/. 15s. 11 d., and the ex-
penditure 10,9311. 17s. sd. The income of the past year, com-
pared with that of 1840, gave a decrease of 1,1201. ss. 6d.,
whilst the receipts from the annual subscriptions were less by
5301. 18s., and under the bead of garden sales there was a fall-
ing off of 1511. Bs. 6d.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO ~.11 EXPECT ..-- 10
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Stthlog,
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, 31°40
throughout the United Kingdom,. but throughout the
it'loetit'
world, that any enconium on its merits might oPP4I, of to!,
fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upw,tonere u'l
a century since, many imitators have started up#,°,,, libertl
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take 'i— e Cele'
of reminding their friends and the pubic that: the abcPe 1004
brated Water continues to be manufacture l on the itief se
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their e t tht4r,
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also a.,-,erbl;
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Blistol, and I!.ein it
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine
-1 ttri,tor
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, avid ilie
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom' , p
just reputation of their manufacture, and the conseiluertheo
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (man/ ° 0.00
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, 81'00
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the' Pi' jo#
a The deception referred to is that of passing off ePgr/
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's 111.0
bottles, The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the 1, of
riorwater, although in most cases the consumer is charff *.o
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptiso'ftho
palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation
_,,a)
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad artittle--'-iti
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted fl
o,
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Se'', t
Leo;
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label„,,ea,
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appoie'4",
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, 4iftli
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. referai,
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Fr 0
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility 00
three kingdoms; nor is the demand for their Soda WO..,errlk. ,
constant on the continent and in other parts of the 7f,aft.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with 0 ~101,1
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are condor.,
transmitting orders received from their respective itgeritteett
correspondents, anti ;highly gratifying is the testy C''
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving froMfOie
