NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—This great
line will be open from Derby to Sheffield, forty miles, in the
first week in May. The celebrated station at Derby for the
three Companies, the North Midland, Midland Counties, Bir.
mingham and Derby Junction—which, it is raid, will be one
of the finest railway stations in the kingdom—is in a state of
great forwardness.—Railway Magazine.

COVENT GARDEN.—Every mat,-,in the dress
circle, and every private box, hisbeelftaken for next Tuesday
evening, when Mr. Charl Imble appears in the character of
Benedict. The n ox-book-keeper, in the room of Mr.
Nutter, was uctantly obliged to refuse the Duke of Beau-
fort, who, as a personal friend of Mr. Kemble, was anxious
to engage one of the proscenium stage-boxes. It is rumoured
that the honour of knighthood will be conferred on Mr. Kemble
at the close of his engagement.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MANCHESTER.--A
most alarming fire broke out last (Tuesday) night in a large
building situate in Little Lever-street, near to Stevenson-
square, in Manchester. The building, which is five stories
high, and about thirty yards in length, was occupied by Messrs.
Elce and Co., and by Mr. Jones, both of whom carried on the
business of machine-manufacturers or. an extensive scale. A
portion of the basement story was in the occupation of Mr.
Johnson, wiredrawer. A little after ten o'clock the flames
were observed issuing from the windows of the third story, be-
longing to Messrs. Lice and Co. An alarm was immediately
given at the police-yard, and the engines were on the spot
shortly after half-past !en o'clock. So rapid had been the
progress of the flames that they were then breaking out
of the building in various places ; and it was at once
evident to Mr. Rose, the conductor, that his services could
only be of use in cutting off the connection with the other
buildings. To effect this object four powerful engines were
stationed near the building, and were worked with such skill
and energy that the adjoining buildings were completely re-
s rued from injury, except of the most trifling character. "'his
is the more astonishing, as the street in which the blazing pile
was situate is not more than six yards wide. The interior of
the budding was completely destroyed, and the roof and floors
fell in about an hour after the engines commenced playing.
The flames were got under command about one o'clock, but the
engines were obliged to be kept at work until ten o'clock this
morning. A considerable portion of the front wall fell about
ball-past five o'clock, and four of the firemen narrowly escaped
being buried in the ruins. All the occupiers were insured in
the York and London Office; their aggregate loss is estimated
at 3,5001., the whole of which, or nearly so, will be covered
by insurance. The building was insured in
the Sun ; it was a
very old one, and has ben on fire two or three times before;
the damage done to it is estimated at 2,0001. Nothing is known
of the origin of the fire.
The School
.for Scandal was played last night
at Covent-garden, Charles Kernble taking the part in which he
has always been so eminently successful. The stage of course
supplies no such Charles Surface as his. Madame Vestris was
the Lady Teazle, and Farren gave us Sir Peter to the life.
The house was full, and the comedy was splendidly got up, as
well as admirably played.
StissEx.—No less than half the number of pri-
soners contained in the calendar at the late Assizes were
eight ac-
quitted or discharged by proclamation. Of these prisoners;o_
one
was committed in September, one in October, ht in
No-
vember, five in December, two in January, three in February,
and ten in March.
