At the dinner to It. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., at
Newcastle, the following letter from a cabinet minister was
reed by Mr. Leman, who, in returning thanks to a toast in
honour of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, an-
nounced that her Majesty and Prince Albert would be pre-
sent at the formal opening ; in confirmation of which be
read a letter he had received from the Earl of Carlisle, which
would put the question beyond all doubt:—" My deer
Leman,—lf you hare not already been apprised, I am now
*Me to acquaint you that the Queen and Prince Albert will
open the Berwick Railway on the 29th of August. They
will set off from Castle Howard that morning, and will

railway arrangements es conveniently as possible.—Yore,
very truly, CAILLIBL2.—JuIy 29, 1860."

from London. Her Majesty's bedroom is, we understand,
adorned In a simple though elegant style, becoming the
tastes of a Queen so domestic in her bent*. The arrange-
ments are new nearly completed at Holyrood.
