IEIII GIVEN HT THE OFFICERS OF THE SECOND
LIFE GUARDS.—Notwithstanding the very advanced
period of the season, upwards of 100 of the leading
fashionables of the beau monde honoured the officers of
this distinguished corps with their company, on Thurs-
day, 22d, at the Castle Inn, Richmond. The company
began to arrive at half-past five, and were received by
Colonel M'Douall and the officers, on the lawn of the
hotel, where the splendid band was stationed. At six
o'clock dinner being announced, the whole party sat
down to a magnificent banquet in the large dining-room
of the hotel. At ten o'clock dancing commenced, and
was kept up with great spirit till near two o'clock in the
morning, when the party separated, highly gratified
with the evening's entertainment.
BRANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.—The arrange-
ment, which last week we mentioned as likely to be effected
for the purchase of the Brandling Junction Railway by
Mr. Hudson, on behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington
Railway Company, is, it seems, nearly arranged, and a
meeting of the Brandling Company is to be held on Mon-
day, to take the subject into consideration. It is stated
that the 50/. shares are to be taken at 5/. premium ; if
so, we presume the Brandling proprietors will at once ac-
cept the terms.—Railwav Record.
IMMENSITY OF THE WORLD.--Herschel estimates
the star "Lyra" to be more than 54,000 times larger
than the sun, which fills a cubical space equal to
681,471,000,000,000,000 miles; 100,000,000 of such stars
lie within range cf the telescope, and between every two
there is an interval of more than 200,000,000,000 miles
of space. Who can think of what lies beyond the tele-
scopic view ? In such a thought, is not the mind lost in
sublimity And grandeur ?
