MARRIAGE OF HER ROYALIiIGIINESS THE pßlN-
crss AUGUSTA OF CAMBRIDGE.--The preliminaries
for the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta of Cambridge (the eldest daughter of her Ma-
,esty's illustrious uncle) have been finally arranged,
and the nuptial ceremony will take place at no very
distant period. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge arrived at Windsor on Wednesday last,
for the purpose of communicating this interesting fact
to her Majesty. The future husband of the Princess
is his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke
of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the eldest son of the reigning
Duke, George V. The Queen's Royal and illustrious
uncle, after partaking of luncheon with her Majesty,
left Windsor Castle in the afternoon for Kew. It is
expected that the ceremony will take place on the
Continent. The bridegroom elect was born on the
17th of October, 1819, consequently his Royal High-
ness has just entered his twenty-fourth year. The
Princess Augusta of Cambridge is in her twenty-
fir3t year.
MEDAL OF SIR I. M. BRUNEL.--The completion of
that truly great and national work, the Thames Tun-
nel, has just been appropriately commemorated by the
striking of a medal of its ingenious and indefatigable
projector, Sir I. M. Brunel, executed by W. J. Tay.
lor, from a design by Warrington. The profile of
this eminent engineer is given in high relief, and,
with a finished and delicate accuracy of detail,
exhibits all those characteristics of deep thought,
accurate observation, and indomitable perseverance,
by which alone an undertaking of this novelty,
magnitude, and danger could have been success-
fully accomplished. n hilst the arts are too habitually
prostituted in the commemoration of achievements
hostile to the peace of mankind and the dictates of
humanity, let us, as good citizens of the world, grate-
fully hail this one happy effort of their resources, in
honour of a work of great domestic usefulness, the
memory and merit of which must endure as long
as the river flows which it undermines. The
obverse of the medal has the inscription. " Sir 'SAU-
DI:IIT MARE BRUNEL, P.R.S. ;" and the reverse,
" 'Thames Tunnel from Rotherhithe to Wapping,
1,200 feet. Commenced January, 1826, progressed
600 feet January, 1828 ; 180,0001. subscribed by pro-
prietors ; recommenced 1836 by Parliamentary grant,
270,000/. ; and completed 1842."
PRICE or BREAD.—Government, it is said, con-
template a measure for securing a uniform stated price
of bread ;and it is certain that the Inspectors of Corn
Returns, in their various localities, have been making
inquiries as to its price, in consequence of orders issued
from the Excise and Board of Trade Offices, requiring
"an account of the price of the quartern loaf (or the
four-pound, as the case may be), and of fine flour,
during the week to which the last return applies."—
Stamford Mercury.
RAILWAY TRArrsc.—The dulness of business, and
the scarcity of monay, have recently greatly dimi-
nished the number of passengers even on the best
railways, and have reduced the trains on the poorer
lines to little better than a' beggarly account clf empty
boxes. The attempts made to remedy this, by in-
creasing the amount of fares, have proved failures in
every case that we have heard of. Two stopping-
places for the second class trains are about to be aban-
doned on the Liverpool and Manehester Railway,
namely, those at Flow Moss and Lamb's Cottage, both
on Chat Moss.—Liverpool Paper.
