RAIL WA Y INTELLIGENCI

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—AII accident occurred on the Man-
chester an Birmingham line of railway, at Stockport, on
Friday night last. The sufferer is a labouring man named
Luke Shore, residing at Stockport, andthe accident he has
met with, which is likely to cost him his life, occurred solely
from his owu intemperance and folly.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-0!1 Saturday afternoon
last, between rive and six o'clock, a distressing accident oc-
curred on the branch railway at Blackwood, a few miles from.
Newport, occasioned by the blowing up of a locomotive
engine used on the line, by which, we regret to say, two per-
sons were killed, and two others seriously injured. The loss
of property, engine included, is estimated at least at £lOOO.

A Lava NARROWLY SAVED'—Captain Mackenzie held
his (the King's commissariat) tort until his ammunition was
entirely expended, and then cut his way through the town ' -
a
but in so doing was wounded in three places. !
Strange to shiay;
this officer owed his life to beating woman H e told
people to abandon their property and save their lives. A
woman put down her child to save her pot and pans; and
expostulation being of little effect, and time most precious,
Mackenzie drew his sword to strike her with the flat of it, t
which means he bad it in bib hand when
rzz he was attacked in

THE TITLE AND OFFICE OF ALDERMAN
alderman is consonant to senator, being both Uc.
old age and gravity. The first alderman we read of in En
land, was in the time of King Edgar, about 800 years a^t.,
whose name was Ailwine, and was descended of the blood
the
royal, as apperre by his epitaph in that goodly monastry in
the isle of Ely, whereof he was founder himself, which
epitaph rune thus;—" Here resteth the learned Aiiwine
(cousin to noble King Edgar) alderman of all England,
some interpret chief-justice, and miraculous founder of this
holy abbey." Hence it may be inferred that the appellation
of alderman is not only venerable but ancient and honour_
able. And, from this learned Ailwine, it seems the' fi rat
mayor of London descended, who was Henry Fitz-Alwi„,
anno 1191, who continued many years in the office, and lies
buried in St. Mary Bothavr, near London stones; and the
next mayor to him Is Roger Fitz-Alwin, after whom
office grew annual.__

degraded hunters after the apparently most worthless of all
matters pursue their avocation until night complex them to
desist ; and for food, they may not unfrequently be seen
picking up the garbage thrown into the gutters from the
adjacent houses, which they either deposit in a separate re-
ceptacle, to be re-cooked at home, or eat upon the spot.
They are of all ages and both sexes, though I am happy to
express my belief that not an American can be found among
them. Let any one inspect closely the personal appearance
of a " chiffonier," as he or she perseveringly overhauls a
hear of street manure. or drags the gutter before his house,

with the proceeds of their daily labour, and deposit them in
a corner, or under the tea-table in the room, which is at the
same time parlour, chamber, and kitchen, and find them in
every part of the premises; will he wonder that, amidst such
heaps of abomination, poisoning the atmosphere with min_
