AMBER GATE, NOTTINGHAM AND BOSTON, AND
EASTERN JUNCTION RAILTIAT.--It will be seen:that the Company
have obtained the powerful aid of the Midland Railway Company,
and that George Hudson, Esq., M.P., the Chairman, and John
Ellis, Esq., the Vice-Chairman, have been added to the Committee
of Direction, in addition to the alliances with the Manchester,
Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction, Lynn and Ely, Lynn
and Dereham Railway Companies; and in addition to the highly.
respectable names upon the Provisional Committee there appears
a list of noblemen and gentlemen who have given their support
and interest to this undertaking, and through whose estates the
line will pass. This un lettaking was commenced by the Notting.
ham and Grantham Canal Companies, who have since formed an
amalgamation with the Nottingham and Erewash Valley, Amber
Gate and Manchester, the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir and
Grantham, and Nottingham and Boston Railway Companies, and
will now afford a direct line of railway communication from
Liverpool and Manchester in the west, to Boston, Spalding,
Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, &c., in the east. The amalgamated
company are to make the whole of the line from Amber Gate to
Boston and Spalding.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The season of this
Society will commence at Exeter Hall, on Friday next, Handel's
Israel in Egypt being the opening performance. Mr. Phillips will
re-appear on this occasion for the first time since his return from
America.

The Marquis of Donegal, prior to his leaving the
Isle of Wight with the Marchioness, for their seat in Ireland,
visited almost daily White's yard, to see the progress made in the
building of the schooner yacht for the Emperor of Russia, and her
Majesty's brig Contest, in the success of which vessels he takes
the greatest interest. Mr. Ratsey has two cutter yachts building
in his yard, and there is every probability of a considerable increase
being made in the Royal Yacht Squadron next year, indeed, We
have seldom heard more talk about persons proposing to build than
at the present time.

THE BANJO QUADRILLES.—These quadrilles are
selected from the most popular American airs, and are exceedingly
well arranged for the piano-torte. They have been played at the
different theatres, and by the military bands, with great success;
and we have little doubt but they will be the favourites of the ball-
room this season.—Saunderes Neiv: Letter.
THE GAME- LAWS.—Mr. Collett, M.P. for Athlone,
has transmitted to the governor of Wakefield prison 51. 12s. 6d. to
effect the release of Thomas Higgins, who has been incarcerated
for an offence against the game-laws.
FIRE AT BUNHILL-ROW.—On Friday night, be-
tween five and six o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs.
Delarue and Co , card-makers, Bunhill-row. It was fortunately
extinguished before more than a alight damage was done to the
stock in the drying.room.

THE GRESHAM LECTURES.—Next Monday being
the first day of Michaelmas Term, the lectures founded by Sir
Thomas Gresham will be commenced in the theatre of Grethen%
College, in Basinghall.streeti
THE PRESS AND THE BAR.—The disagreement be-
tween the bar and the press has been adopted as well as revived by
the benchers of Lincoln's Inn, who have identified themselves with
the brief-hungry members of the Oxford and Western Circuits.
On the occasion of their new hall being honoured by a visit U'
the Queen, the benchera disgraced themselves by an act at °not
puerile and pitiful. If Thursday last was a glorious day for the
Society of Lincoln's Inn, it was a shameful one for the existing
representatives of that fraternity. The benchers should have
known better than to have sullied the .occasion of the
opening of their hall; graced as it was by the Prr'
sence of royalty, with an act that any well conducted
lawyer's clerk would feel heartily ashamed to have beet,
guilty of. The public will scarcely believe it possible that the
benchers of Lincoln's Inn should have forwarded invitations to the
members of the press for the mere purpose ,of insulting then''
horning
Such, however, is the fact, for cards were sent to the ".":
journals for the admission of their representatives to the cereu2ee'
of the opening of the new hall, and on the arrival of the genii"-
men to whom the duty of furnishing reports had been intrusted,
they were sent among the waiters, into a position from which ant
convenient view of the proceedings was utterly impracticable,
The members of the press retired, of course, in a body from the
hall, into which they had been invited by the volunteered coda of
admission from the benchers, who would-appear to have corn"
witted the rrean trick of leading the representatives of the journals'
into a snare by a show of courtesy which was to end in lire" ins
suit. It is usually considered mean and ungentlemanly to 81'
offence in one's own house to a stranger who has en
tered it as a guest ; but what is to be said *;,t
these Lincoln's Inn benchers, who condescend to a trick th
they may get gentlemen into their hall for the express purpose
insulting them? We cannot avoid contrasting the treatment Ibl
...
the benchers of Lincoln's Inn with the honour done to the Meow_
berg of the literary profession at the late meeting
at Manchester. As Mr. Cobden very justly observed on_nt.....a
occasion, literary men are only beginning to take their 1)0
""eatest
much prouder one than that of the hireling advocate, whose gr
merit is often to pervert truth, or, by the exercise of low cun
screen dishonesty from merited punishment. The bar will omen
nothing by its contest with the press, unless, perhaps, it be.o_nw'of
of the Athenseh:
the cause of that agitation which may rouse the better porrt.'n°,..,..
the legal profession to repudiate the conduct which is b
tgo1;
contempt and disgrace on the entire body. There are sYniP
of this effect being likely to be produced ; but it is too late for
r_:"le
