of 175 horses power collectively, and will be driven by
multiplying gearing in the proportion of 3 to 9.
Her screw will be 11 feet 6 inches in diameter; and, as
under sail, she attained a rate of 11 notts an hour ; with
the aid of steam she will no doubt "do wonders." The
whole machinery has been constructed under tl
intendence of, and from drawings by, Mr. Doug__
son. In the course of a few weeks she will be on the
Londonderry station, when we trust her success will be
such as will stimulate other companies to equal or greater
enterprize.

STEALING PRUSSIAN TREASURY
the Commissary of Criminal Police of Berlin, in Pm__
arrived in Liverpool by express train from London, a
companied by one of the principal clerks of the Treasu.,
of Berlin, in search of two brothers, named Felgentron,
who were employed as clerks in the Treasury there, and
who had absconded, taking with them Prussian Treasury
Bonds amounting to 48,775 thalers (X 7,000 sterling).
After a search of some hours they succeeded (with the as-
sistance of the local police) in apprehending the delin-
quents on board a packet-ship bound for New York, and
found in their possession the whole of the stolen property.
MR. JAMES PARKER " MOBBED."-At the meeting of
the Health Committee, on Thursday, Mr. Parker (who
came into the room perspiring freely, when the business
was nearly terminated) said he had been assaulted and
mobbed by the sausage-makers, in consequence of his
statement at the meeting last week ; they said he had

ruined the trade. (Lauhter.)—The Chairman: They
will prepare a crown for you. (Renewed laughter.)—Mr.
Parker : They_ want me to name the individual.—Mr.

Wa'thew asked if Mr. Parker had brought them a speci-
men of the polonies, as he promised to do. Mr. Parker
replied that he had not seen the Market Committee.
INCIIEASE OF RAILWAY RECEIPTS.—The increase in
the receipts on the leading lines of railway for the week
ending the 2nd of June, as compared with the correspond-
ing week of last year, is extraordinary and unprecedented.
On the Lancashire and Yorkshire, with 100 additional
miles opened, the increase is no less than £8,300; on the
Midland Counties, with only 40 additional miles, the
increase is £4.600 ; on the London and South-Western,
with an additional 20 miles, the increase is £3,600 ; on the
London and North-Western, with an

ition of 7 mil

the London and Soudi-Eastern, without any additional
mileage, £2,500; on the Manchester and Sheffield, without
any increase of mileage, £2,400; on the London and
Brighton, with the same mileage as in the corresponding
week of last year, the increase is £2,100 ; on the Eastern!
Counties, with 27 additional miles, the augmentation is
£1,700 ; and on the Caledonian, with the same mileage,

inproving, it is expected that the increase will continue.
