most respectable testimonials have been repeatedly published.
Sold, in pot boxes, at 25., s 3• 6d., 55.,
and in Family Bot-
tles, 10s. each.,
J. M. is aware that the sale of articles of the utmost utility
suffers from the prejudice occasioned by reports stating that
impositions to an alarming extent are practised by vendors of
spurious or counterfeit articles. It may be the case ; but no
prosecutions have taken place, as is usual, in such cases.
However, the Public ought to be protected against fraud.
No complaints have been made by those who use Middle-
wood's Oil. His Agents are authorised to engage that his
Oil possesses all the properties expressed in his advertise-
ments. If other Proprietors will do so, it will put a stop not
only to spurious counterfeits, but enable the Public to dis-
tinguish betwixt articles of real utility and the trash the
Public are cautioned against.
Mr. RitNNIE, Lord-street, has a constant supply. It may
also be had of the principal Perfumers in Manchester, Ches-

The attention of Motheri, (especially during the period of,
nursing.) Invalids, and Families is particularly called to the
above Patent Articles; being the purest Fannie of the Oat

ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY cannot be equalled
by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few minutes
all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more palatable
than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is an excel-
lent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly useful
for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delici Is-pud-
dings, thickening soups, also with the addi of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most gratefu verage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROAT , are universally
esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats
and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS

THE accounts lately received from Macao, f3rought
intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtaillFdArom China for a
very considerable period, a great rise pwau 'descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the prevnt, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MixTuitit will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. ner lb:,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HON-M1.7,2S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDEItwiII he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPO WDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jostiv RHODES PID-
DIN," is upon every genuine package.

SIGHT RESTORED !
NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF,
Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury,)
TS universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy
1 in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is
completely efficacious, arid gives a Natural Sweetness to the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Si(uffs, with
the most perfect safety and gratification to the' consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk
,and water, to
remove whatever secretion may have been pr duced during
the night.
• Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed t the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.)
He says. " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system,
and recommends its universal adoption. Dated Nov. 10,1831.
G. J. GUTHRIE, Esq., F.R.S.—This eminent surgeon

From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re-
ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware,
Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un-
questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the
sight even to extreme old age.—Editor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by
the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the
aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as
a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been
fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of
Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so. judiciously ar-
ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye,
ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain
cure."—Editor.

" There are, perhaps, -few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the
devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—
which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten-
tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful
and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly
its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential
and important service to persons of studious habits, and of
weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous
medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits,
and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng-
land, 11th January, 1840.
"We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle.
" GIUMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys-
tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we
rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being
a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra-
tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity,
having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Auy.26, 1838.
" If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of
Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already
possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals
accustomed to Sedentary habits or long reading, will find this
snuff invaluable in keeping off headache,-dininess, &c. &c..

Sir —I think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-
ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye
snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head
and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my
69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised
by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary
virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it
a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit
I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena-
bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief
in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign
virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom-
mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those
afilictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,

Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should
offer my acknowledgments.to you for the great benefit I have
derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com-
pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong,
and performed their wonted duties in a manner that I have
not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr.
Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my
undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug-
gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not he
necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known
in any manner you think best.

All applications, with sufficient testimonials and the names
of the proposed sureties, to be sent (post paid) to the Clerk

BROOMSTICK MARRIAGES.—The second annual report of
the registrar-general has just been published, from-which it
appears that during the past year the number of marriages
solemnised according to the rites of the established church
was 114,632—viz., 10 by special license, 14,669 by license,
76;328 by banns, 968 by superintendent registrar's cet tificate,
and 22,657 by unspecified forms. The number performed
otherwise than by the rights of the established chtirch was
6,451—viz., 5,654 in registrars' offices, 73 between Qtialsers,
160,between Jews. This return must be highly gratifying,
testifying, as it does, the attachment of the great bulk of the
population to the national church. We always expected that
the Broomstick Marriage Act nould be treated as a dead_
letter by the people of this country.--i'orkshire Gazette.

"TILE OVER-PAID CLERGY."—The parish of Llanba-
darn-vawr, in Cardiganshire, includes the populous town of
Aberystwyth, and reaches from the sea to the foot of Plinlim-
mon, containing several large hamlets, numerous lead mines,
and a rapidly increasing population. The Rev. John Hughes,
the pious and indefatigable incumbent (called, by courtesy,
the vicar,) with the help of two curates, performs in the most
exemplary manner the labourious duties of this very exten-
sive district—he has no share of the tithes, but receives from
the lay rector, Sir Bruce Chichester (the newly created ba-
ronet) TWENTY POUNDS PER ANNUM !—This, with a
dwelling-house, three acres of land, and the humble addi-
tion of Queen Anne's. bounty, is all that this estimable and
over-worked minister receives for his unceasing labours ! The
lay rector (no doubt an anti-pluralist and church reformer,
or the present dispensers of honours would not have made
him a baronet) receives upwards of £2OOO a year in tithes
from this immense parish. Were he to give only a tithe of
this income to him for whom the whole was originally intend-
ed, it would be but an act of common decency.—Merthyr
Guardian.

DUEL BETWEEN LIEUT.-COLONEL THE EARL OF CAR-
DIGAN (11th DRAGOONS), AND LIEUT.-TUCRETT, LATE OF
THE SAME CORPS.—In consequence of the Earl of Cardi-
gan having ascertained that certain letters published recently
in the Morning Chronicle, reflecting, as his lordship sup-
posed, on his character as an officer and a gentleman, were
written by Lieut.-Tuckett, late of the same regiment, (the
11th Dragoons, of which his lordship is lieut.-colonel), the
noble lord sent him, through Captain Douglas, of the 11th,
a challenge. This was of course accepted, and Captain
Wainwright, of the half-pay, was the friend selected by Mr.
Tuckett to. arrange the preliminaries. An apology was de-
manded by the noble lord, to which the reply was, that if he
would deny the allegations contained in the letters refe-red
to, it should be given. Lord Cardigan declared that certain
portions of these letters were true, but that the greater part
were calumnies. On this the apology was refused, and a
meeting was the consequence. It took place on Saturday
afternoon on Wimbledon-common. The first shot was inef-
fectual on both sides ; on the second fire Mr. Tuckett received
his adversary's ball in the back part of the lower ribs, which
traversed round to the spine. The ball has been extracted,
and Mr. Tuckett is doing well, having been pronounced out
of danger.

A LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT took place at Omagh on

Saturday night. It appeared that for some time past the
fields of Mr. Robert Holmes, near the old chapel, a short
distance from the town, had been greatly trespassed on, the
hay torn out of the stack and scattered about, the potatoes
dug up and carried away, and the oats and barley greatly
trodden down. This being continued night after night, Mr.
Holmes, than whom there is not a more respectable or quiet
man of hiS station of life in Omagh, at length determined to
keep watch himself, and to frighten the first person he found
so destroying his 'property by firing over their heads. On
the night in question, at about half-past nine o'clock, while
he was keeping watch, he heard a noise at some distance from
where hehad stationed himself and discharged his gun, loaded
with shot, in that direction. It unfortunately happened that
the persons were much nearer than Mr. Holmes suspected,
standing up in the shelter of a stock of barley, by which they
were kept out of sight. The shot took effect on both (f,

Jere were only two persons), a man and a woman—the for-
mer a person passing ,by the name of Krasicki, a Polish
Count, and Professor of Phrenolo—the latter a fine-look-
but unfortunate girl, named Eliza Young. The girl received
18 grains of the shot in and about the lei* side of the head;
the Count narrowly escaped, having received only two grains
in the right cheek. He was standing with his arm round the
girl, who uttered the words " I am killed," and fell never to
speak again. Mr. Holmes, finding what had occurred, im-
mediately called assistance, had the girl carried td the road,
and ran and brought medical aid, but to no purpose. She
died a few minutes after being conveyed to the infirmary.
Mr. Holmes at once gave himself up to the sub-inspector of
police, Mr. J. H. Ridge (affording the only evidence against
himself,) and was lodged in gaol. An inquest was held in
the Court-house on Monday. Verdict—" That deceased
came by her death from a gun-shot wound, and that the gun
was discharged by Robert Holmes."—Derry paper.

EXPERIMENTAL OPENING OF THE CHESTER
AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY.

A number of the directors of this line, proceeded, on
Thursday last, from Warrington, where several of their en-
gines and carriages were in waiting,—to Crewe, where they
were entertained- at a sumptuous collation by he mayor of
Chester, and other directors of the Chester and Crewe Rail-
way. They afterwards proceeded along the Crewe line to
Chester, where they were received with great enthusiasm by
s large concourse of spectators. On the following day,
(Friday), the directors and their friends started from Chester;
on the Birkenhead line, with a train of five engines and ten
carriages, at a gentle speed, and arrived at their destination
without accident, soon after twelve. At Crewe, they were
joined by Mr. George Stephenson, the engineer of the first
great railway (the. Manchester and Liverpool), and of many
subsequent lines and works of magnitude. We need scarcely
say that the greeting between him and his brother engineer,
Mr. Dixon, of the Birkenhead line, and of the gentlemen
present, most of whom knew him, was most cordial.
On Saturday, a trip was made still more gratifyipg, if
possible, inasmuch as it embraced the journey in the new
line only from Birkenhead to Chester and back. On the
previous day, the arrival of the trains not being generally
anticipated by the now populous town of Birkenhead, the
interest excited was comparatively small. A number of fines
new engines and carriages were now, however, collected for
the first time at the Birkenhead station, and the neighbour..
h od consequently became on the qui vire.
Towards the hour appointed for starting a large number of
persons of all ages and conditions, collected on the vacant
ground of the company opposite the station ;—at the top o
, Abbey-street, which was decorated with flags, many ladle
I were on the ground, to witness the departure of the first
large train from the terminus, towards Chester. The gen-
tlemen included the directors, the engineer, Mr. Dixon, the
treasurer, Mr. James, Mr. Yarrow, nephew of Mr. Dixon,
(the assistant-engineer), and a large number of friends from
Liverpool, Birkenhead and Chester. There were several
new engines on the ground. but one of them only, the
Wirral!, built by Messrs. Charles Taylor and Co., of this
town, was attached to the train, which was a mixed one.
The second class carriages were very neat and commodious,
and bore the name of the makers, 6. . R. Melling and Son,
Green Hayes, Manchester : a new and approved plan of a
break is introduced. The two first class carriages were truly
splendid vehicles, handsomely painted and varnished, and
combining extraordinary neatness and strength, with several
improvements in construction, amongst which may be con-
sidered their being hung from the springs on strong leather.
The manner in which these carriages are finished, both
exteriorly and interiorly, excited the approbation of all who
inspected them, and is equally creditable to the builders and
to the company under whose directions they were' built, by
Mr. Truss, of Chester. Great anxiety was evinced by many
of the bye-standers to obtain a ride to Chester and back, on
the proposed pleasure trip, fur which, of course, there was
no charge ; and several of the open carriages were soon
filled. Those who had thus taken their places were, how-
ever, informed that the operative engineers and workmen
connected with the line should be admitted, end that if
beyond these, room could be found for strangers„ they
must find their way back from Chester on foot, as others
of those employed at the works would have to be brought
from Chester by the train on its return. This was a damper
to the aspirants to a cheap jaunt, and most of them dis-
mounted with rueful countenances, amidst the laughter of
the byestanders.
The whole of those who were to proceed having taken their
places, the train started at about ten minutes past one o'clock,
at a moderate pace, amidst the loud cheers of the populace.
Mr. Dixon, the engineer of the lire, and Mr. Yarrow, had
both taken their places on the engine, with a view to greater
security,—a precaution which is highly commendable in all
new lines. As the train proceeded, the inhabitants of Lower
Tranmere, and of every hamlet, house, or cottage, whence a
view could be obtained, made their appearance at doors or
windows, or on the several bridges, all equally enthusiastic
in their demonstration of delight at witnessing, most of theta
for the first time, the rapid and, to them, fearful movement of
the train.

The entire length of the line is, as nearly as can be stated
in round numbers, 141 miles, and the gradients are easy,
none of them exceeding 1 in 330. The country through
which it passes is generally interesting and often picturesque,
though not populous except at either terminus. It leaves the
village and Church of Brombro' on the right, in proceeding
to Chester, and those of Eastbani on the left. From the first
or Tranmere embankment a fine view is obtained of the Mer-
sey and the Lancashire shore. The Brombro' valley, crossed
by a high embankment and culvert, points a romantic scene.
and beyond it the Alostyn valley, still more extensive and
picturesque, is spanned by a lofty mound and a fine viaduct
of eleven arches, under one of which, 68 feet below the level
of the railway, is the Chester and Ellesmere canal, and under
another a considerable brook. The centre arch (over the
canal) is 45 feet in span, and is of the skew form. The others
are of equal height, but of smaller span. Here the country is
finely wooded, and continues to open out to great extent, co-
vered with seats and farm-houses, and bounded on the west by
sloping land of Wales, backed by the range of mountains of
which Mod Fannan stands pre-eminent. The line crosses
the high road from Chester to Liverpool by a bridge, a little
to the north of the Lunatic Asylum, which last forms a fine
object in the landscape. The tower of Chester Cathedral
and that of St. John's Church are now at hand, and in a few
minutes the traveller, if on his way to " the ancient city," is
set down at the station at the east end of Brook-street, where
it is immediately joined by the Chester and Crewe line. The
rails are here on a level with the street, which will be carried
over a bridge of three arches, already in a forward state, a
little to the north of its present site. Here the offices, &c.,
requisite for the station are also approaching to completion.
We should add that the greater portions of cuttings are
over the central part of the line, and many of them were of
heavy amount. The whole, however, as well as the embank-
ment and bridge work, have been accomplished in a very
substantial and workmanlike manner, and all the slopes will
in a short time be strongly consolidated by herbage.
On this first occasion, it was the wish of the directors to
proceed along the line with caution, lest any accident might
arise from parties, at the different crossings being prompted
by curiosity to come upon the line. To make security dou-
bly sure, the steam-whistle was sounded on approaching
every point where the slightest danger could possibly be ap-
prehended, and the speed was at the same time reduced.
Stoppages were also necessarily made at several of the sta-
tions, to take up or set down parties interested. The jour-
ney was finally performed to Chester in fifty minutes ; but it
will doubtless, when opened to' the public, be accomplished
.ir half an hour, or.,even. less--. The ,speed occasionally at-
tained appeared to be about thirty miles an hour. The greater
number of the fields on each side of the line are laid out in
pasture ; and the cattle, horses, and sheep, " all unused to
the rail-ing mood," on seeing the train and hearing it thun-
dering along, flew off at tangents, in great alarm. Some of
the husbandmen lost their teams, and others had much diffi-
culty in restraining them ; but no accident occurred.
On arriving at Chester, the directors and their friends
visited the town, and afterwards returned to the station,
whence they started on their homeward voyage at about a
quarter past three o'clock, accompanied by several of the di-
rectors of the Crewe Railway, whose guests they had been on
Thursday. The first part of the road from Brook-street was
crowded with spectators, and a very slow speed became re-
quisite, the engine drawing the train being now the Zillah,
built by our townsmen, Messrs. Mather, Dixon, & Co. The
trip was exceedingly pleasing, but, owing to the circumstances
before stated, the same time was occupied in the return trip
—namely, 50 minutes to the station at Birkenhead. The
train was loudly greeted at all the fine bridges on the line,
and at every other point where the few or the many who
domicile in the neighbourhood could obtain a view of it. At
At Birkenhead the crowd was great, and appeared to be much
gratified with the result of the day's experiment.
About five o'clock the directors and their friends of this
town, Birkenhead, Chester, Crewe, &c., sat down to an ex-
cellent dinner at Mr. Hillier's, the Monks' Ferry Hotel.
Amongst these present were William Dixon, Esq.' in
the chair, Mr. Claxton, vice-chair, the Rev. James Main-
waring, Mr. Joseph 'Wallaby, clerk of the company, Mr.
Christopher Bentham, Mr. John Dixon, engineer, Mr: John
Jackson, Mr. Murray Gladstone, Mr. H. Crackenthorpe,
Mr. William Ravenscroft, Mr. Worrell, banker of Chester,
Mr. White of Sutton Hall, Mr. Follett and others. We
need scarcely add that the evening was passed in a most
agreeable manner ; that success was drunk to the Birkenhead
and Chester Railway; and that the parties separated highly
delighted with the_ proceedings of the day.

Tile railway will, we learn, be opened for passengers and
traffic on Monday next, when also—an arrangement having
been come to with Mr. Price, lord of the manor of Birken-
head—the Monks' Ferry will again be thrown open to the
public.

(who is quite recovered from the late horrible attempt upon
his life) attended divine service in the parish church of St.
Lawrence, Ludlow, and, through the minister, offered thanks
to God for his preservation and recovery. When the Rev.
Mr. Arrowsmith (who officiated in the
absence of the Rev.
A. 0. Johues, the rector) pronounced his name, all eves Were
bent upon him, and he appeared a good deal agitated, but
soon recovered his self-possession. He has been paid much
attention in Ludlow, and his amiable disposition, gentlemanly
demeanor, and companionable habits, have made him a ge-
neral favourite there. He left Ludlow yesterday by the
Worcester mail, and from Worcester, through Cheltenham,
to Bristol.—Salopian Journal.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAIL-

were precipitated off the rails, and all in them more or less
injured. One gentleman, a foreigner, was killed on the spot,
and was sleeping when the catastrophe occurred. His body
was seen on the rails, and a carriage was on his back. He
had wit'u him some game, and plenty of cash on his person,
besides a valuable pocket-book. He is supposed to have
been shooting in the north—have not yet heard his name.
The guard, a remarkably fine-looking man, was precipitated
down an embankment seven yards deep, where he lay for
dead ; he was taken up breathing, but died last night. Ano-
ther person, (name unknown) is so seriously injured that he
is not expected to recover. A respectable young woman had
her collar-bone broken, and her brother had so contused an
arm that the surgeon says it must be amputated. An aged
female, of Chesterfield, was so injured as not to be likely to
recover. She has no bones broken, but a dreadful internal
hemorrhage. It would be difficult to enumerate all the

MANCTIESTER.—The unsettled aspect of political affairs,
and the consequent decline in the value of public securities,
have had an injurious effect upon this market, and we under-
stand that one or two orders for goods for the Mediterranean
have been countermanded ; whilst the non-arrival of one or
two foreign mails now due has by no means tended to the
improvement of business. The demand on Tuesday, both
for yarn and goods, was more limited than for some weeks
past, and in several articles, especially in good 40's twist, a
trifling reduction was submitted to ; but the lowest counts

DEATHS OF WEALTHY MEN AT ROCHDALE.—Within
the last five months, three of the wealthiest men in Rochdale
have died ; and it is said that the property they have be-
queathed amounts in the azgregate to nearly one million ster-
ling. These gentlemen were Mr. Fenton, (father of Mr.
John Fenton, M.P.,) who is reported to have left £500,000;
Mr. Law, whose property is said to have been £200,000 ; and
Air. Jonathan Fildes, whO s'as interred on Friday week, and
whose property is stated at .:£162,000. The last-named gen-
tleman was a bachelor; his nearest 'relation, a cousin of the
same name, was a labourer, with a wife and' eight children,
and living, till the recent death of his wealthy relative, in a
small cottage. The bequest to him includes the greater part
of the testator's property, amounting to nearly 4;100,000. Mr.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUN-
TIES RAILWAY.-FOUR PASSENGERS HURT.

On Monday evening, between the tours of 4 and 5 o'clock,
an accident occurred on the above railway, by which four of
the passengers b' one of the trains were thrown out and re-
ceived such injuries that two of them are now in a state of the
greatest danger. The following particulars of this unfortu-
nate occurrence will be found strictly correct :—The Romford
train left the terminus in Shoreditch at about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, stopping on its way at the station in Devonshire-
street, Mile-end, where, having taken in passengers, it pro-
ceeded on its journey. Five or six minutes after the above
train left Shoreditch, one of the Stratford trains started from
the same place, and it appears on the same line of rails. This
train, it is stated, was behind its time, and the engineer in
consequence put on additional speed ; indeed, to such an ex-
tent, that on its reaching Old Ford, near Bow, Middlesex, it
came up with the Romford train, which, as above stated, had
left London a few minutes before, and which was not pro-
ceeding at so fast a rate as the one behind it. The engineer
of the Stratford train being unable at the moment to check
the power of steam, or at any rate not in time to prevent a
collision, the engine ran with great violence against the carri-
ages of the Romford train, literally dashing one of the third-
class open vehicles to atoms. Providentially by this time the
steam was turned off, or the accident would have been at-
tended with more serious results ; as it was, however, four of
the passengers, who were seated in the third-class carriege,
were thrown out with considerable force on to the line. On
assistance being afforded, the unfortunate sufferers were taken
up, three of whom were found to be in a senseless condition ;
the fourth was not much hurt. One man had his head and
cheek cut open, and his right leg and one of his ribs frac-
tured ; another received a compound fracture of his right leg,
and a severe dislocation of one of his shoulders. These two
individuals, after having received medical assistance on the
spot, were conveyed to the London hospital, Mile-end-road.
The other two passengers remained at one of the railway-
stations for three or four hours ; but, not being much hurt,
at the end of that time were able to walk home. The names
of the unfortunate sufferers who lie in the hospital are James
Mason, a mechanic, and John Perry, an elderly man.

A saddle being missing at a funeral, it was observed, no
wonder that nothing was heard of it, for it is believed to have
been stolen by a mute.

NATIONAL. EDUCATION.—The subscription committee of
the National School Society has recently put in circulation a
summary, up to the end of the year 1838, arranged under
dioceses, of the Sunday and daily, Sunday, and infant schools
in England and Wales, united mediately or immediately to
the National Society, with the number of scholars, and the
various grants of money voted by the Lords of the Treasury,
the National Society, and the diocesan or district societies,
towards erecting school-rooms. The summary of all the
dioceses in England aild Wales; including-that of Sodor and
Man, gives 4,291 places in connection with the National
Society, having 4.382 Sunday and daily schools, with 180,767
boys, and 146,752 girls ; 2,197 Sunday schools only, or ad-
ditional to the preceding number, in which are 122,084 boys,
and 130,928 girls ; there are 199 infant schools with 18.827
children, 1,447 of whom are entered as Sunday scholars ;
making a total of 581,078 scholars receiving education in the
religious principles of the church of England.

rooms of the commissioners of bankrupts, St. James's-s
Manchester, on Tuesday, before George Condy and tiu.arj,'
Duck, ESQS., barristers, and Mr. 0. Milne, solicitor—of the
third list of commissioners. The purpose of this meeting
was, (besides the proof of debts) for " the said bankrupt to
finish his examination, and the creditors are to assent to or
dissent from the allowance of his certificate." Of course the
bankrupt was not in attendance to " finish his examination,
and the business was chiefly confined to the proof of debts.
Mr. John Marsland and Mr. Rupert Ingleby, the assignees
appointed at the first meeting, on the 17th ultimo, were in
attendance. A number of creditors were sworn to, and sub-
scribed their affidavits of debts ; but there were not more
than 30 whose respective debts exceeded £2O. The service
of the writ and summons to the bankrupt was proved. Some
litigation, it is said, may be expected to arise out of the fol-
lowing circumstances :—jr. Winterbottom had been en-
trusted with payment of the premiums on several policies of
life insurance of considerable amount, especially on some po-
licies on the life of or d Alvanley, effected in the York office;
and that some agent of the office, having more confidence in
