San Carlo, Naples, in a new opera by Maestro Battista
on the 4th of last month, and was highly successful.
Verdi's opera of I Due Foscari (that is in ac'ive pre-
paration at her Majesty's Theatre) has been very slut-

la Monnaie; at Brussels, in Giselle, La Sylphide, I e
Dieu et la Bayadere, and Esmeralda. She is nightly
received with acclamations by the public, and showers

danseuse.

WESTMINSTER RAILWAY STREET.---111 this scheme
it is proposed to form an open cutting, with four lines of
wooden rails, and a double set of rails to each line, one of the
bi oad and the other of the narrow gauge, the whole to be
worked on the atmospheric principle, and the banks to be
planted with trees, and bridges to be built at the intersections
of the roads. By these means an almost noiseless railway
would be obtained, and it would not present an eye-sore, as
most lines at present do.—The Builder.
The subscription raised in Cheltenham for the
relief of the distress in Ireland and Scotland has reached the
amount of 3,000/.
