tary notices of this company state that they propose to go
to Parliament for powers to purchase, or lease, the Hay-
don-square branch of the London and Biackwall Railway,
to provide hotel accommodation at Euston Station, for
provision as to Wolverhampton Station, and for additional'
station accommodation and land at Birmingham, Harrow;.
and Cottingham.
BURTON BITTER BEER.—At the Court of Queen's.
Bench, ou Monday, a rule nisi was granted to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed against
Frederick Ibbotson Jervis, the master of a commercial'
school at Repton, for the publication of libellous verses
reflecting upon Henry Allsop, the brew
most serious charges, and among the
with the crime of murder.
SIR HENRY WITICIN WILLIAMS WYNN, who since
1817, that is, for thirty-six years, has been Minister Pleni-
potentiary- of England at the Court of Denmark, has, on
his own demand, been recalled, and intends: to retire to
private life. Having dined with the King on the sth, the
next day the venerable diplomatist was accompanied to
the port by the Prince of Denmark, the Landgrave of
Hesse, all the diplomatic body, and a great number of dis-
tinguished personages.
POTATO TRADE.—The traffic in potatoes continues very
brisk, and immense quantities are transmitted daily along
the Scottish Midland, Central, and Caledonian Railways,
to Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Birmingham, &c. 01;
Tuesday there were nearly 200 carts with potatoes from_
the Highlands, and on coming to town, they formed a con-
tinuous line from Dunkeld turnpike to thebarracks, nearly
the distance of a mile. The Highland potatoes, which
were of excellent quality, met with a ready sale at from
10s. to 21s. per boll.—Perthshire Courier.
Tui3 MAYOR OF SALISBURY.—A Roman Catholic has
been selected for this office. A correspondent states, that
the Dean, the Master of the Cathedral School, the Rector
of the parish, one of the Priest-Vicars, and'a Lay-Vicar,
gave plumpers for this gentleman, in opposition to two
staunch Protestants, who were candidates. This event has
given rise to strong feelings among the Churchmen of the

ABSCONDING OFFICIAL.—Mr. Henry Bunny, Clerk
to the Town, to the Board of Justices, the Commis-
sioners of Taxes, and the Local Board of Health,
in Newbury, has absconded, being, it is said, a
large defaulter. It had been whispered in the town
for some time past that his affairs were in an em-
barrassed state, and a day or two ago it transpired that
he had engaged a shepherd and a bailiff to proceed with
him to New Zealand. The creditors were instantly alert,
but the clerk was gone. They found his wife and children
on board a vessel about to sail for New Zealand, but no
traces were discovered of the defaulter himself. He is
supposed, however, to be on board in female's clothes.
WESLEYANMISSIONARTSOCIETY.—Mr. Samuel Wilkes,
of Wolverhampton, in the year 1852 subscribed one guinea
per day to the Wesleyan Missionary Society. At the com-
mencement of the current year he raised the subscription
to seven guineas daily, and at a recent meeting Mr. W. H.
Rules one of the speakers, read a note, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy :—" My dear sir,—Your humble servant,
Samuel Wilkes, a poor Wesleyan, purposes, with God's
blessing, to give to the great missionary cause, for the year
1854, £18,779 55., and he trusts that the triune God will
enable him to perform this covenant."
A MIGIITY ORGAN.—Some interesting experiments
have recently been made at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham,
with respect to the power required by an organ to fill the
building, and a report has been presented to the directors
on the subject. As the central transept alone covers a
larger area than is occupied by the cathedral at York,
some idea of the vast size and power of an instrument
which should be heard in all parts of the building may be
formed. The committee report that the area required for
the instrument would not be less than 5,400 feet, the
depth of the organ 50 feet, and its altitude from the.
ground 140 feet. The cost will not be less than £25,000,
and its construction would extend over a period of three
years.

GROSS OUTRAGE IN I CHURCIL—A most wanton and
unjustifiable outrage has been perpetrated on a Protestant
church, at Warmsworth, between two and three miles
from Doncaster. The occurrence took place some time
during the night of Wednesday last, and those who com-
mitted it commenced their attack on the building by first
throwing stones at the windows from the outside, a
number of which they broke. They then proceeded to
force open the church doors, as is indicated by footmarks
about the place, but, not succeeding, they went to a window
on the north side of the church, broke the glass, tore away
the lead from the squares, and removed the casement, by
which they were enabled to creep through. Having thus
obtained an entrance, they pulled down the communion
rails and demolished the stone font. Nothing but the
base of the font remains to indicate that one stood there.
The velvet cushion on the top of the pulpit and the one on
the clerk's reading desk, as well as a great number of the
cushions and hassocks in the pews, were cut and torn,
and the stuffings strewed about the church and grave-
yard. Some woodwork near the communion table was
also pulled down and broken. The stone near the same
place is also pulled up. A number of the books belonging
to the congregation, have been torn and otherwise damaged
and thrown about the church. Several loose seats used
by the poorer class of the congregation were broken and
piled one over another. After they had broken or damaged
everything they could come in contact with in the sacred
edifice, they proceeded to remove the lid or topstone of a
tomb, which they rolled over in the churchyard, and left
it there. It is not possible at present to estimate the
amount of damage done to the church property, but it
must be considerable. It is pretty evident that the object
of the depredators was to gratify some private feeling of
revenge, and not to plunder, for, although there is a blue
cloth missing, there were articles of value in the church
which could have been taken away without much difficulty.
The present is not the first time that the property or the
church has been damaged, but not to such a serious extent.
The Rev. C. E. Thomas. the incumbent, who is much
respected by his parishioners, is instituting vigorous
measures for the apprehension, if possible, of the depre-
dators, but the fellows have shown so much tact and
dexterity in the execution of their work that we fear the
authorities will have great difficulty in bringing them to
justice. A reward will be offered for the apprehension and
conviction of the offenders.

7 CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—Some interesting facts
were communicated at a public meeting in the Town-hall,
Brighton, on Wednesday, by Messrs. Lewis, Morgan and
i Gruneisen, the solicitor, surveyor, and secretary of the
Conservative Land Society, in explanation of the mode of
.
allotment of the Round I'M Park Estate, the first portion
of which, consisting of 123 lots, will be allotted on the 24th
instant. It was stated by the surveyor that there would
be in all upwards of 350 lots on this estate ; but such was
the increase of the population (nearly 20,000 in the last
ten years, against 6,000 in the preceding ten years,) that
buildings had actually extended to the very foot of the
Round Hill, and there can be no doubt that owing to
the yearly increasing popularity of this watering-place
every available place within the precincts of the town
would be built upon. At the time of taking the census
there were actually 283 houses in progress of erection.
The Round Hill Park will comprise a crescent of the
boldest sweep in Brighton, and a terrace, fronting the old
Shoreham road, from Lewis. Frontages on this estate,. it

cussion was the magnificent purchase of the St. Margaret's
Estate, from the Earl of Kilmorey, for distribution amongst

ivi(gan
the members of the society. It was explained that this •
property, comprising an area of 74 acres of land, is, owing
to its admirable adaptation for laying out, the entourage being perfectly free from any kind of interference ill the
plans of the surveyor, most valuable f *th
or e erection of
villas and houses of the best class. The river frontage
extends upwards of 1,900 feet, the road frontage exceeds
2,000 feet, and the Windsor loop line of the South Western
railway, bounds the property on the west. The view from
the estate comprehends Richmond-bridge, the hill and
park, Kew gardens, the windings of the Thames, the
beautiful sit at the bend of the river by Sion House, the
seat of the Duke of Northumberland, Twickenham mea-
dows, the ferry at Isleworth, and the elegant villas on the
banks of the river. ..

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS, THE BEST REMEDY
FOR THE CURE OF BAD LEGS.—Extract of a letter from
Messrs. Trenchard and Whitby, booksellers, Yeovil, dated
20th Nov., 1851 :—" To Professor Holloway—Sir,'—The fol
lowing extraordinary case has come to our knowledge. A
woman receiving parochial relief from this union, was suffer-
ing so severely from a very bad leg, that she was about to be
removed to her own parish, under a medical certificate, as
being permanently disabled; some delay, however, occurred,
and in the meantime she used your Pills and Ointment, which
have effected a perfect cure, and she is now enabled to go into

service."
