RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

The directors of the Belgian railroads are building a
diligence with two floors. The upper part will I,e a
glazed gallery, from which an extensive view of the
country will be commanded. It is to run between Liege
and Verviers.

LARGE TRAIN.—The special train which passed here
at ten o'clock on Friday, with the teetotallers of Glasgow
on a trip to the Land of Burns, amounted to thirty car-
riages, dragged by three engines. More accommodation
being wanted, a couple of aduitional carriages were hooked
on, but even these were insufficient, and on some of the
carriages passengers were clustering outside like bees.—
Paisley Advertiser.

PROPOSED RAILWAY TO BARNSLEY.—On Saturday
week a meeting was held at the Court House, Barnsley,
convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety of forming a branch railway from the Man-
chester and Sheffield line above Penistone to Barnsley, to
join the North Midland. From the tone of this meeting,
as well as that of the meeting held on the same subject
on Monday, at Dunford Bridge, there will be no lack of
share-takers ; and steps will be forthwith proceeded in
for obtaining an act of parliament. The cost of the pro-
posed line is estimated at about £200,000.

THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—On Mon-
day a town meeting, convened by the high constable, was
held at the Town-hall, Brighton, for the purpose of re-
ceiving the report of the deputation appointed to confer
with the directors of the London and Brighton Railway,
relative to an alteration of the fares. The report stated
that the directors had agreed to reduce the fares—of the
first class, from 14s. to 12s. ;. the second class from 10s.
to Bs. ; and the third from 7s. to ss. ; to come into
operation on the Ist of August. The report gave great
satisfaction.

A CONTRAST.-PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO

BRISTOL.

•
The change of times and manners cannot be more strik-
ingly illustrated than in contrasting the account of Prince
Albert's visit to Bristol with the 'following curious par-
ticulars of a visit paid to that city in the reign of Queen
Anne by her royal consort, Prince George.
In Corry and Evans's History of Bristol, vol. 2, page
423, is the following :—" Extract from an old Bristol
newspaper, relative to Sir J. Duddlestone.—Prince George
of Denmark, consort of Queen Anne, in passing through
this city, appeared on the Exchange, attended only by one
gentleman, a military officer, and remained there till the
merchants had. pretty generally withdrawn ; not one of
them having sufficient resolution to speak to him, as per-
haps they might not be prepared to ask such a guest to
their houses. But this was not the case with all who saw
him ; for a person whose name was John Duddlestone, a
bodice-maker, who lived in Corn-street, (probably the
house now occupied by Norton and Son, booksellers,
which is very ancient,) went up to him and asked him if
he was not the husband of the Queen ?' who informed
him 'he was.' John Duddlestone told him he had ob-
served with a good deal of concern that none of the mer-
chants had invited him home to dinner, telling him he did
not apprehend it was for want of love to the Queen or to
him ; but because they did not consider themselves pre-
pared to entertain so great a man. But he was• ashamed
to think of his dining at an inn, and requested him to go
and dine with him, and to bring the gentleman along with
him, informing him that he had a piece of good, beef and
a plum-pudding, and ale of his dame's own brewing. The
Prince admired the loyalty of the man ; and though he
had bespoke a dinner at the White Lion, went with him.
When they, got to the house, Duddlestone called his wife,
who was up stairs, desiring her to put on a clean apron
and come down, for the Queen's husband and another
gentleman- were come to dine with them. She accordingly
came with a clean blue apron, and was immediately saluted
by the Prince. In the course of the dinner the Prince
asked him if ever he went to London ? He said, that
since the ladies had worn stays, instead of bodices, he
sometimes went to buy whalebone ; whereupon the Prince
desired him to take his wife with him when he went again,
at the same time giving him a card to facilitate his intro-
duction. to court. In the course of a little time he took
his wife behind him to London, and with the assistance
of the card he found easy admittance to the Prince, and
by him they were introduced to the Queen, who invited
them to an approaching public dinner, informing them they
must have new clothes for the occasion. So they each
chose purple velvet, such as the Prince had then on, and
in that dress they were introduced by the Queen herself
as the most loyal persons in the city of Bristol, and the
only ones in that city who had invited the Prince her
husband to their house. After the entertainment, the
Queen desiring him to kneel down, laid a sword on his
head, and (to use Lady Duddlestone's own words) said to
him, Ston up, Sir Jan.' He was offered money, or a
place under government, but he did not choose to accept
of either, informing the Queen that he had £5O out at
use, and he apprehended that the number of people be
saw about her must be very expensive. The Queen, how-
ever, made Lady Duddlestone a present of a gold watch,
which my lady considered as no small ornament when she
went to market, suspended over a blue apron. Sir John
Duddlestone, with his lady, lies buried in All Saints
Church, Bristol, on the right side of the entrance from
the north door."

=DURHAM ELECTION.-Mr. Purvis. Queen's Counsel,
is the candidate on the Conservative interest ; and Mr.
Bright, of Anti-corn-law league notoriety, offers himself
on the side of the free-traders. Mr. Purvis left town for
Durham on Monday night.
Two workmen employed at the sugar house of Messrs.
Craven, in Whitechapel, London, Vti ere unfortunately
steamed to death while cleaning a boiler, into which,
whilst the men were at work, a quantity of steam was com-
municated from a second steam boiler, which had inter-
nally burst or given way. When taken out the skin in
most parts of their bodies was raised an inch, and in some
parts two inches from the flesh, and their tee and finger
nails were so loose that some fell oti,.
