CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN UNION RAILWAY.—
-
A petition to the House of Commons, against the route pro-,
posed in the bill liefore the house has been agreed upon by a
great number of gentlemen, owners, and occupiers of property
in the borough of Cheltenham. The great Mlticulties which
were experienced in gelecting,a route which should extend the.
advantages of railvGiiy -communication to the neighbouring
counties and realize the. anticipation of the projectors, were
acknowledged in the bill; and the line selected was stated to be
almost impracticable, but the only one whiCh could be adopted.
A fresh survey, however, has been made by engineeis skill
and eminence, and the reult.has been highly favoni4le to the
petitions. The line now chosen .would shorted the, distance
between Cheltenham and London twenty miles, anir between
Oxford and Cheltenham thirty miles, au,' extend. tire advan-:
tages of railway
.coninainiciition to the counties of Hereford-
shire, Worcestershire, Monmouthshire, and near:y the whole
of South Wale.

month outside the walls of Jeypore. I was sketching at the
time, and observed a great concourse of people from the town.
assembled at the Murda flatha. On inquiry. I retold they came
there to witness a suttee. The woman placed herself tot the pyre.
Soon after the flames reached her she jumped off, but was'.
thrown hack. She,. however, escaped a second time. They
again flung her into the fire. She got away a third time. The.
Jeypore police then interposing, referred the mutter to the
ltawul, who ordered them not to use any more force. The
widow. was a.ccordingly released, and afterwards took refuge in.
