THE GREAT NORTHERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday
the works on this lino, between the proposed terminus
at King's-cross and Copenhagen-fields, and between Bar.
net and Finchley, were resumed, having been disconti-
nued during the momentary panic of 1847. A consider-
able portion of the works between Peterborough and
London is executed, the heavy parts, that if altogether
suspended, would have materially retarded the opening
of the through line having been carried on. The lino
from Gainsborough by Lincoln, Boston, and. Peterbo-
rough, together with the East Lincolnshire line front
Boston to Grimsby, and between Doncaster and this
West Riding of Yorkshire, are nearly complete, and are
expected to open for public traffic during the present
month. A great many of the poor navvies (1,200 in
number) who were suddenly thrown out by the water
breaking into excavations for the Sunderland docks aro
now finding emplOyment on this line.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM. Yesterday
afternoon the half-yearly meeting of the supporters of
this institution was held in the Bridge-house Hotel, Mr.
Rowan in the chair, to receive the report of the commit-
tee of management on the society's affairs. Tb e secre-
tary read the report, from which it appeared the st 1,800/.
had been collected at the last dinner; that the funded
property figured 6,6001., exclusive of 2,000/. lodged with
two brewers at five per cent. It further appeared that
there were three vacancies in the asylum which would be
immediately filled up, and that a fancy fair would be soon
held in aid of the asylum. The report was adopted.
thanks were voted to the officers of the past year, and
the vacancies in the committee for the ensuing year were
filled up. After which, and a vote of than.lks to the
chairman, the meeting broke up.
OXFORD COMMEMORATION.—On Monday -the pro.-
cession of racing boats took place. As the variorus crews
passed the boat at the head of the river (Christ Church).
they saluted it by tossing their oars and cheering , which
was responded to by the spectators on each sidle of the
river. There was an immense number of persons pre.
sent, but the unpropitious state of the weathe r was a
great drawback. This day the Bishop of Hereford (Dr.
Hampden) preaches the annual sermon in beha If of the
infirmary. In the afternoon the oratorio The
Creation" will be perforru,d in the theatre. A ball at
St. John's College will take place in the everting. IG
was agreed by the hebdomadal board to propose, that the
honorary degree of D.C.L. be conferred on the f Mowing
individuals :—Earl of Harrowby, Baron Hugel, Sir O.
Arthur, Bart., W. E. Gladstone, M.P., Sir C. G. Morgan,
Bart., J. Masterman, Esq., M.P., A. J. B. Ho,pe, Esq.*
M.P. H. Hallam, Esq., the historian, W. Cotton, ESql
A. H. Layard, Esq.
JOHN MITCHEL.—The authorities of the• " still"
vexed Bermoothes" are likely to have some tr ouble
keeping this gentleman under bolt and bar, if th e follow
ing statement contained in au extract from a New Yofic
paper (the Sun), is to be relied on as based on :anything
more substantial than Yankee imagination:—" A depe;
tation of the patient's friends in this and other cities of
the United States, numbering about two tho usand, ig
organising, we learn, with the intention of cb artering,
three or four long, low, black rakish looking vessels,
provided and munitioned in case of accident, a ad paying
him a visit, as it is thought that the air of the main land
may be better for him than that of Bermuda, especially
as his lodgings there are very close and confined. The
trip of the deputation, which is to be called a turtle
hunt,' promises rare sport, as the party jute, ad taking
all kinds of hooks, spears, and fowling-pieces, Ito be pre"
pared for any game that turns up. It is hoped that Mr'
Mitchel will be of good cheer, until his medical friends
from the United States arrive, and that they 1./ill tneeV
with no accident or delay on their errand. The dep'
tation, to avoid all display, will hoist no flag, and
no Government passports. John Bull, no doubt, Will
be on the lookout for these long, low, black -looking
schooners. "
