are for the sale of cheese, and the others for cattle; statute fairs for hiring servants are held on the three Wednesdays after Michaelmas.

BOROUGH HILL, a place of much interest to the antiquarian, is a high eminence about half a mile to the south east of the town; from it may be taken, on a clear day, an extensive view of the surrounding counties; Northampton, the spires of Coventry, Weedon Dépôt, Naseby, and many of the intervening places of interest are conspicuous. This place was anciently chosen as the site of an encampment, doubtless from its commanding so wide a survey; the remains of an extensive entrenchment and rampart, and a Roman burial place, in which have been discovered urns, bones, charcoal, and other relics of Roman customs, render it a place of resort to many persons. At the southern side of the hill there are some old walls, called "burnt walls," and the remains of a fortification, called "John of Gaunt's Castle."

The train on starting from Weedon Station passes under a bridge, over which crosses the London and Holyhead road, and then we find ourselves in a deep cutting, which temporarily prevents our seeing the dépôt; however, on coming to the end of the excavation, a transitory glimpse of this grand central military establishment may be taken.

A short time is now occupied by the train going through two cuttings, and then we are whirled amidst the sylvan scenery of BROCKHALL PARK. The line passes through the park, frequently intersecting its woods and groves, and through the foliage may be

seen on the right the shining waters of the Grand Junction Canal, and beyond it is BROCKHALL, the residence of T. R. Thornton Esq., with the rookery standing on an eminence. The scene is cut off from our vision by the train rushing under a bridge, and hurrying us along an embankment, from which a very different class of objects are visible. To the right is the MISCOT MILL, and the canal running for a short way parallel with the embankment, and then turning under the line, appears at the left side. BUCKBY WHARF stands on the left side of the embankment, with its malt house conspicuous, soon after which, a cliff to the left in the lias sand shows how the top of the hill has been taken away to make the neighbouring embankment. We then pass a bridge and enter a cutting through blue clay, topped by soil with flints, at the end of which another bridge crosses the line, where there is an embankment over a small valley filled with pastures, and the village of WATFORD is seen onwards to the right: the canal bends to the right under the line towards Watford, and just beyond is WATFORD BRIDGE and CUTTING, the latter through blue clay covered with gravel, containing chalk and flints. This cutting is crossed by two bridges, and soon after we stop at the

CRICK STATION.
