Sir Robt. Peel left town on Sunday for Osborne-
Isle of Wight, to have an audience of the Que, n.
The Post, of yesterday, states that an event calculated
to increase the happiness of her Majesty's domestic circle
may be expected to take place early in April next
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday last, a young
named Ann Gregory, was crossing the railway, near
Crewe, when the second-class train, coming up soorer
than she expected, struck her down, and going over killed
ber instantly. This sad accident should warn every one
not to trespass on a railway, which is more dangerous
than magined.

FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS.—Lord and Lady FranciS
E,:erton are on a visit to Mr. Evelyn and Lady Charlotte
Denison, at Alsington-hall, Notts. Lord George Paget
has left Sir William M. Stanley's seat, at Hooton-hall,
end is gone on a visiting tour. Sir Henry and Lady
Sophia Desvoeux have arrived on a visit at Hooton-hall,
from Drakelown-hall, Derbyshire.
CHURCH EXTENSION :FUND.—The total amount of
subscriptions to this date, for the fund for new churches,
the patronage of which is to be vested in trustees, amounts
to £17,192. The committee have contributed towards a
church at Cheltenham, and have engaged to supply nearly
the whole expense of building and endowing a new church
at Castle Hill, near Staleybridge.
ROBBERY IN KlREDALE.—Yczterday morning, Mr.
Thomas Roberts' tea-dealer, No. 209, Great Homer-
street, in coming down stairs from his bed-room, found,
to his great surprise, that all the windows at the back
were broken open, and that a few articles were packed
up ready fur removal. The doors at the back were all
wide open, and, on further examination, Mr R. found
that the thief or thieves had succeeded in carry ing off
several articles. They must, however, have been dis-
turbed, otherwise they might have committed a greater
depredatiOn.
IMPORTANT. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The
Cambridge Chronicle, of Saturday, says, "We are in
a position to state that the London and York Board of
Directors will entertain the offer of amalgamation made
to them by Mr. Hudson. At their request that-offer has
been formally communicated to them, and they will con-
sider it at their next meeting, to be holden on Tuesday,
the 16th inst. The feeling in favour of accepting the
offer is very strong amongst the shareholders generally,
but .some of the Bedfordshire landholders we understand
to be somewhat intractable: they constitute almost the
only. obstacle to a friendly and satisfactory adjustment of
the affair: Perhaps the signing, or rather non-signing of
the new deeds may open their eyes a little to the real
state of feeling amongst the proprietors."
Genss.—We refer our readers to the advertisement of
Mr. Smith, of Bold-street, whose stock of glass is most
extensive, and whose prii:es are extremely low. To those
preparing for approaching Christmas festivals, many ad-
vantages are offered.
PUBLIC Loss BY NON-CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE.—
The loss to the public, from excess of washing, &c..
which a smoky atmosphere renders necessary, is more
than at first sight might appear. Dr. Lyon Playlair has

shewn, that in this one item Manchester has been expend-
ing £6OOOO a year, and that, if the expense of additional
painting and whitewashing be added, the actual money
loss wo❑ld be double the amount of the poor rates every
year. The Rev. Mr. Clay states, that in Preston only
two furnaces consume their own smoke, and even that
imperfectly ; but were all the factories in town to do as
much, the public would save £10,450 a year in extra
washing.—Liverpool Health of Towns' Advocate.;
