HANTS AND SUSSEX. 



Notice has been given of an intended application 

 to Parliament during the ensuing session, for a 

 pneumatic railway from Brighton to Shoreham, a 

 distance of six miles, which, when completed, will 

 afford a satisfactory experiment of the merits of 

 the invention. Looking at the principle of at- 

 mospheric pressure in a practical way, and in- 

 quiring how it will act at a speed of only 10 or 20 

 miles an hour, we shall see that it is perfectly 

 within our power to obtain a pressure sufficient to 

 produce such a velocity, and much more.

CORNWALL. 



Lately vast quantities of pilchards were dis- 

 covered in St. Ives Bay. All the scans, except 

 four, had been laid up, and the boats were hauled 

 up on the beach, it being supposed the fishery had 

 recently closed. The scans were got out with all 

 expedition, and two were quickly shot, when they 

 enclosed about 2,000 hogsheads of fish. The great 

 weight of fish made the nets give way, and the 

 whole of their contents escaped ; but two other 

 seans were alo shot, and secured about 1,000 

 hogsheads. The appearance of such a quantity of 

 fish, at so late a period, is unprecedented in the re- 

 collection of the oldest fisherman.
