On Thursday last, the opening of the important
extension of tl.e Newcastle and Carlisleßailway took place, and
was appropriately celebrated by the inhabitants of Carlisle and
the neighbourhood. The city of Carlisle is thus brought, as
it were, within arm's length of the Solway Firth, and the
grand object of the junction of the northern and western seas,
with the completion of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway,
will thus also be fully and effectually attained, as the two seas
will then be brought within a few hours' journey.—Sunderland
Herald.

Mr. William Holmes is about to go to Berwick-
on-Tweed to "organise" the opposition to Sir Rufane Donkin,
whose opponent is to be Mr. Hodgson, brother of the temporary
Member for Newcastle. Mr. Holmes is to be himself the se-
cond Tory candidate, as Mr. Bradshaw will not come forward
again.

Last night, about eight o'clock, Mrs. Orme, a lady
residing in Wilsted-street, New-road, alighted from a Padding-
ton omnibus, within fifty yards of her own dwelling, and, on her
arrival at home, discovered that her purse, containing twelve
sovereigns and a half sovereign, had been stolen from her
pocket, which had been cut through. Suspicion attaches to a
well-dressed female who got into the vehicle at the Angel,
Islineton, and was set down at King's-cross.
Yesterday at Gorton's fish and oyster-warehouse,
behind the General Post-office, much curiosity was excited by
the public display of several pearls of an unusual size, which
had been found in large "barley" oysters from Rochester and
Whitstable, and which bad bean opened that morning. They
were eagerly bought up.

The re-action in the currency continues gradually
to be more severely felt in the trade of Paisley. Within the
last two or three weeks several pretty heavy failures have
taken place, and work has regularly become more difficult to
be had. At the present time there is a very considerable
number of weavers idle, and the work to be got is of a descrip-
tion that does not yield nearly so good a wage as that for-
merly made.—Glasgow Chronicle.
Last week, a man named Wilson undertook to walk,
in Brown's Cricket ground, Brighton, 30 miles in six hours,
playing the flute occasionally. The task he accomplished with
case. having a quarter of an hour to spare.
The new Commander-in-Chief of the forces at
Madras (Lieutenant-General Sir Peregrine Maitland, K. C. B. )
has appointed Colonel Fearon, C. 8., of the 6th Foot, to be
his military secretary, and Captain Conway, of the Native In-
fantry, his aide-de-camp.
The grand ball to be given at Drury-lane Theatre,
for the benefit of the distressed Spitalfields silk-weavers, is
expected to be on a scale of great magnificence. The last
fancy dress ball at this theatre was given about five or six years
since, for the Spanish and Italian refugees, when the Marquis
of Clanricarde, Lord Munster, and the Hon. Colonel Dawson
Darner were stewards.

The grand fancy dress ball at the Assembly-rooms,
Edinburgh, in aid of the subscription for relieving the distress
now prevailing in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland took
place on Friday last, and was attended by upwards of 700 per-
sons of distinction. The list of Stewards contained several
distinguished noblemen's names, who on this occasion exerted
themselves in a most praiseworthy manner.- The salon de
dense and refreshment rooms were splendidly lighted ; and
when the company had assembled in their various costumes.
presented a magnificent ensemble. The fine band of the 42d
regiment was in attendance, and played several of the most
admired Operas. The elite of the company consisted of the
Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian, Marquis of Huntly,
Marquis of Douglas, Earl and Countess of Moreton, Earl of
Selkirk, Earl of Northesk, Lord and Lady Greenock, Lord
and Lady Ramsay, Lord and Lady Ruthven, Lord Gifford,
