Opening of thr MARTroRT and Carusle Railway. — On Monday, Feb. 

 10, this line was opened between the respective towns of Carlisle, Aspatria, Maryport, and 

 Wigton. From I\Iuryport to Carlisle is a distance of twenty-eight miles. The line was 

 commenced in May, 1837 ; there ave no tunnels, and no very deep cuttings or high em- 

 bankments on the line; T'e heaviest cutting is at Aspatria, where between 3'JO.UOO and 

 400.000 cubic yai-ds of heavy clay aud wet sand had to be removed, and was found to be a 

 work of great labour and difficulty. The bridges on the line are numerous, but not diffi- 

 cult, only two rivers, the Calden and the Waver, being to cross once each, the total num- 

 - bar over and under the railway bpiug 77. The steepest gradient on the line is I in 20;}, 

 and varying from this to 1 in 1900. The deepest cutting is thirty-six feet, and the highest 

 embankment is thirty-seven feet. The cust per mile will be about lO.OQUf., exclusive of 

 engines aad carriages. 



Berlin.— The lalely inaugurali-d frescoes, which now adorn the background 

 of the portico or colonnade of the Museum, according to Schinkel's intention for it from 

 the firat, are said to excite some scandal among the Berliuese by the nudity of the colossal 

 feaale figure. On the other hand, notwithstanding that these poetical composition are 

 liltTA-pagan in idea, not a few people it in said, " mistake the figures for those of eainte."
