We regret to learn that typhus fever is still prevailing in
the city, and that it continues to be very fatal among the
young. In one family it carried off four children the other
day, and both the parents are at present in a dangerous state.

LYME REGIS.—The mighty rains of the cliffs and upheaving
of the bed of the sea, at DoWlands, extending now from Whit-
lands to near Axmouth, a distance of several miles still form
a leading attraction to our fashionable town. Families of
rank and distinction, from all parts of the kingdom, are
among the daily visitors, and there is no doubt but this grand
and stupendous convulsion of nature will have the effect of
causing .a vast influx of company during the ensuing summer.
—The flesh of the large whale lately casf ashore at Char-
mouth, has been converted into oil, of which it produced a
great quantity, and the anatomy of the animal is to be ren-
dered perfect by a competent person, and when completed,
will be preserved for future exhibition to the public.—Bris-
tol Standard.

REPRESENTATION OF LEWES.—Three candidates hava
announced themselvesfor this borough; viz., Viscount Can-
tilupe (conservative), late member for Helstone, the eldest
son of Earl Delawarr ; Mr. Sheriff Evans (conservative),
and Lieut. General the Hon. Henry Otway Trevor (whig-
radical), brother to Lord Dacre. The nomination takes
place on Monday, and the polling the day after. We copy
the following from the Brighton Gazette, dated Lewes,
Wednesday evening, seven o'clock :—" Lord Cantilnpe and
General Trevor have both been actively engaged in canvas-
sing the town during the whole of the day. His lordship has
nearly completed his canvass; and to-day's result fully bears
out the confident tone in which he had before spoken of his
success. General Trevor's friends appear in anything but
good spirits ; and the most sanguine of his supporters only
express an opinion that the contest will be a close one—and
this owing to the defection from the conservative ranks of
Mr. J. V. Shelley, who has been canvassing for the minis-
terial candidate. The alleged reason of Mr. Brand's non-
appearance is his intention to offer himself as a candidate for
Herefordshire at the next general election, which from this
as well as other passing events, may be supposed to be near
at hand.—Standard.

THE " INDIA" STEAM-SDlP.—This vessel is now lying in
the East India Docks. She was built at Greenock, in the
yard of Messrs. Scott and Sinclair, and is one of the finest
vessels of her class ever launched. Her timbers and bends
are of English oak, her keel and bottom of American elm.
She is' rigeed as a ship having three masts, and is a very
beautiful model, square at the stern, with a flush deck. She
measures from her main stem to the after part of her taffrail
precisely 200 feet 6 inches, and from the foie part of her
stem (or what tradesmen would call her inside measurement)
to the after part of her stern, aloft, 189 feet. Her after hold
is 10 feet high by 45 feet long. The lower sleeping cabins
are' 6 feet 11 inches high by 6 feet 3 inches in length. The
grand cabin or saloon, a very elegant apartment, and fitted
up with great taste, is 8 feet 2 inches in height, and 43' feet
in length. Her burden is 1206 tops, and her power 350
horses. The engine is completely concealed from those on
deck, except they actually go in search of it, and all her ap-
pointments are as convenient and snug as can be imagined.
There are eighty sleeping berths, besides all other accommo-
dations ; a cellar, with room for 1000 dozen of bottles, &e.
She is upon the whole one of the corapactest vessels ever
seen, and with tolerably fair weather would perform the
voyage to India in two months. She is estimated to cost
upwards of .£4o,ooo.—Times.
