RAILWAY TO TIIE VALE OF CLWYD.—The inbehabiirring
tant,-
of the picturesque and fertile Vale of Clwyd are st
themselves to obtain the great advantages of railway 001'
munication, without which the natural resources of their
district cannot fully be developed. Looking at the various
plans which have been proposed, we are of opinion that
the best line is that which it is proposed to construct fro',
Ruthin to Corwen, and thence to some convenient pehll
along the Vale of Llangollen, to join the Shrewsbury an
u
Chester Railway ; continuing the line also from Ruthin
Rhyl, to connect what would then be a main trunk line
with the Chester and Holyhead . Railway.-Chester Courant.

NOVEL HARE HIIET.—On Tuesday there was an anl.

Terrace the ladies' bathing machines were being pre then
to receive the fair candidates for a dip in the sea,
suddenly the utmost consternation was created boffin by
fortunate hare, which dashed amongst them, folle,
some boys, and then went away for the rocks at the

STRANGE ELOPEVENT.—An affair of this kind, 5C
what too common in the present day, has lately excitea
some conversation at Bangor. A dashing-looking raiddie'd
aged man, and an interesting young lady had been notices
for some days courting the summer breezes in the vall,,,,eYd
and on the hills, and had occupied apartments as man'-
wife, at one of the lodging-houses in Bangor, when a dee'
tive officer arrived from Birmingham, and made some very
particular inquiries about them. At length, the latter
accompanied by Tomlinson, the local officer, accosted theta
on Sunday afternoon, and endeavoured to persuade the der
od
to separate from her companion, and place herself u
their care, with a view of returning to her friends ilik-r4,,f

AN IMPORTANT LETTER has been receivedNN
ham Goold, Esq., M.P., from three of the most influential
and enterprising merchants of New I'ork, stating that it
is their intention to send a first-class steamer to the Shan-
on upon a trial trip, for the purpose of testing the capa-
ilites of Foynes harbour for a transatlantic packet station.
BERLIN.-In consequence of large orders for shoes and
boots given by English or other houses in London,
more for ex-
Potation to Australia, the trade at this place has
work on hand than it can accomplish. The London order
is said to amount to 2,000 pairs, which the masters have
agreed to furnish, of the best materials and workmanship,
at a ow figure.
SrancE.-Considerable inconvenience has been occa-
sioned in the wharfs on the north bank of the Thames,
by
a general strike of the free lightermen. It is said they
'earn on the average £2 a-week, but with so much night-
work, owing to the tides that they would prefer 30s. for
day-work, than be obliged to work night and day, as they
now are sometimes.
TICE FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE.-The London Gazette
of Tuesday contains the official decrees from the govern-
ments of Naples and Vienna-one authorising the free
importation of grain into the Neapolitan dominions until
the end of the present year, and the other prohibiting the
exPortation of grain from the Lombardo-Venetian pro-
vinces until further notice.
at De
Nexy BREAD.- The steam-machinery at the Dockyard
Deptford for kneading, rolling, and stamping the
biscuits, is capable, with three or four hands, of making
16,8001 b of biscuits per day, and were it necessary on an
emergency to work night and day, the machinery could
make 40,0001b5. of biscuits in 24 hours, Adjoining the
bakery are the flour-mills in which six airs of stones have
been put up on a new patented Principle,P each Pair of
stones being capable of grinding

which contained 650 000 hectolitres of wheat, 105,000 of

maize. The Frenchar goy' ernment had made enormousto

our Australian colonies in the month of September is
no less than 118, of which 49 are for Victoria, 35 for New
h,. Wales, 15 for Adelaide, eight for Hobart Town,
ter Lunceston, two for Swan River, and fiye for I‘. ew

7, so that the present statement shows a further exten-
Gps'u of hint Previously enormous trade with Australia.
rfacrallY 8 • , these 118 vessels comprise the finest
~c---. at present lying in British ports, and many of them
are °f large tonnage. This extraordinary absorption of
shipping in one branch of trade fully accounts for the
scarcity of vessels for other quarters, and the high rates of
freight now ruling.
