EXTENSION OF THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY
TO CHELTENHAM .—We understand that the completion
of this railway from Gloucester to Cheltenham, on the
broad gauge, will be immediately proceeded with, and
will be finished as soon as possible. The completion of
the line will effect a considerable saving in time to the
passenger, and will, in some measure, lessen the real or
imaginary inconveniences produced by the break of
gauge at Gloucester. The completion of the line will
occupy a very short space of time, and the journey be-
tween Paddington and Cheltenham, according to the
present rate of travelling, will be performed in four
hours and a half, and by the express trains in three
hours. The portion of the railway between Gloucester
and Cheltenham will be laid on the Birmingham and
Gloucester line, in accordance with the stipulations en-
tered into by both companies, and finally resolved by
Act of Parliament.

NEW CIITJECII AT BETIINAL-GREEN.—Yesterday
the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the new
church of St. Matthias, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, was
performed by the Lord Mayor, in the presence of a
largo number of the neighbouring clergy. His Lordship
arrived at two o'clock, and was heartily welcomed by a
concourse of from 6,000 to B,GOO persons. The new
church, which will be in the Byzantine style of archi-
tecture, is from the design of Messrs. Wyatt and Bran -
don, and the building has been entrusted to Messrs.
Winsland and Holland, who have undertaken to com-
plete it for the sum of 6,0001. The church of St. Mat-
thias will be the largest of the ten proposed to be erected
in Bethnal-green, being 117 feet 6 inches in length. All
the seats will be unappropriated and entirely free. At
the close of the ceremony, all the persons resident in the
district who felt inclined to accept the invi.ation sat
down to tea in the spacious warehouses of the Eastern
Counties Company, at the Mile-end station, kindly
granted for their use by C. P. Honey, Esq., the secretary.
Over this entertainment the Lord Mayor presided, and
although the company consisted of nearly 3,000 persons,
not the slightest confusion was occasioned. The assembly
broke up about four o'clock.
