OPENING of the BISHOPSTOKE and
SALISBURY BRANCH of the SOUTH-WEST-
ERN RAILWAY.

WEDNESDAY, Jaw. 27,-.This was a day of general rejoic-
ing and festivity, it being fixed upon for the opening of this
branch. Many previously unforeseen accidents prevented its
being ready for traffic earlier. Even on last Friday an arch
fell in situated at Pope's Bottom, about four miles from Sa-
lisbury, which accident it was then feared would have caused
a further delay, but the company surmounted the obstacle
by setting mew instantly to work to repair the mischief, they
being ordered to work night and day ; hence by Monday (in
three days) the arch was rebuilt, well cemented, and made
much more secure than on its first erection. Yesterday, and
during last night, the rain descended in torrents, accompanied
with thunder and lightning (very unusual at this time of the
year). Many began to fear some other obstacle might arise
to prevent the much-desired opening, but fortunately such
was not the case. At eleven o'clock the approach to the
railway was densely crowded by anxious spectators, there
being at that hour more than 2,000 respectable inhabitants
of the city present, all desirous to witness the arrival of the
first train into this city. At 25 minutes past 11, the smoke
from the engine was observable, which was greeted with
deafening cheers. In a few minutes the train approached
carefully and steadily; the engine being driven by Mr. Nay-
lor, and bringing in all 23 heavily-laden carriages. Among
the carriages laden were three filled.with coals, of the weight
of 50 tons, to be given-Away to the distressed citizens and
inhabitants of Salisbury ; the next train to bring 50 tons
more, for the same kind and benevolent purpose. The dis-
tance between Salisbury and Bishepstoke is 21 miles.

a large supply of wheat and moderate of other articles.
There is a general disinclination evinced to purchase wheat,
though offered at 13. to 2s. decline. Oats and beans are both
slow sale at last week's rates. Barley 2s. per qr. lower,
which induces business.
We understand that it is the intention of some of
the political friends of mr. IVakley, Member for Finsbury, to
invite that gentleman to a dinner, to be held in the borough
on an early day, for the purpose of manifesting towards him
their high estimation of his character, and integrity as a
member of the Legislature. Mr. Fielden, M.P., will be re-
quested to preside on the occasion.
