Seam Navigation Company's packet Fame, en route for Pari..
Lord Canterbury returned in the Fame yesterday from Dieppe.
ROCHDALE MONTHLY CATTLE FAIR, MONDAY,
SEPT. 1.-There was a larger number of horned cattle in
the fair to-day than at any previous fair during the year.
Middle sorts of calving cows, drapes, and Irish beasts, went at
from 5 to 8, and best qualities at from 4 to 5 per cent. lower
than at our last fair. There was a numerous attendance of
country farmers, graziers, and butchers, and more than an
average number of all sorts of cattle wore disposed of. Good
hay was about a penny per stone lower than it was a month
ago, and straw about the same.-Preston Guardian.
SCARCITY OF COTTAGES IN PRESTON.-SIICII is
the scarcity of cottages, that a person who is building nine
houses in North-road says he has at least 60 applications for
them. Tenants are actually going into some new cottages
before windows are put in.-Preston Guardian.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE AILIVAY.-On Wred-
nes,lay last, the sixth and last arch of the monster bridge that
spans the river Lowther, near the tillage of Clifton, West-
moreland, on this line, was keyed on that day, in the presence
of a large concourse of people and workmen. Mr. Larmer, the
principal engineer for the Company, went through the formali-
ties and ceremony usual on such occasions; on the termination
of which, the vast multitude gave three tremendous cheers, all
wishing safety and success to the important undertaking. After-
wards the workmen were regaled with a few barrels of ale;
and, upon the whole, the occasion was one of the most interest-
ing character. The works generally on this line are making
rapid progress.
SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH IZAILIVAY.-It iS now
clearly understood that this lire of railway will be proceeded
with at each end, viz., from Syston to Melton, and
from Oakham to Peterborough, as soon as the requisite
notices have been delivered to the landowners and oc •
copiers. The Company are prevented from taking a great
portion of the intermediate space for twelve months by a
clause in their Act, unless by the consent of the Earl of
Harborough ; but it is confidently hoped that long before the
meeting of Parliament the Noble Earl will let it be seen that
he is not opposed to a measure likely to prove so beneficial
to the community, and that an amicable arrangement will be
effected. It is thought that by running the line on the bed of
the Oakham canal, past the park, his Lordship's principal ob-
jection would be obviated.- Cambridge Chronicle.

_BR I,NDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.-Third-Class car-
riages have this week been run on the Branilling Junction
Railway, and will be continued with every train in future. The
fare from Sunderland to Newcastlo is 9d., and to Shields 4d.,
so that the working classes can travel between these places at a
mo:t reasonable cost. This further accommodation to the
public was promptly arranged by George Hudson, Etq., M. 1).,
the moment he knew that it would be considered a.n ad-
vantage to the district. The subject was brought under
Mr. Hudson's notice last week by Mr. Johnassohn, of
Sunderland. Arrangements have also been made by which I
the inhabitants of Sunderland, Shields, &c., will have the full
benefit of the express train for the south, which leaves in the
morning at a quarter to nine, so as to book for all parts of the
south. These will be great advantages to the Sunderland
people, for which they are entirely indebted to Mr. Hudson,
their active and highly influential Parliamentary representa-
tive.-Durham Advertiser.
