RONEY MARKET 4WD CIT CITY, Two o'CLocx. The improvement in the weather, and the greater ease in the general Money Market, have caused a more cheerful feeling in the various manu facturing districts during the past week. At Leeds a fair business has been done in light fabrics far the su mmer d eman d. Business at Manchester bas i. also sh own s y m ptoms of revival, particularly I° r goods suitable to the India markets, while at Bradford, Huddersfield, and Rochdale, moderate transaotions have taken place in light fancy cloths, and a decided improvement has occurred in the hosiery and lace department at Leicester and Not tingham. In the hardware districts there is no Material alteration to notice, although in a few in stances. a more buoyant tone has prevailed. At B irmingham there has been a slight improvement in the demand for home requirements ; and at Shef !eld, Walsall, and Wolverhampton the receipt of a few continental orders has given increased employ- Inept to the operatives ; a large number of whom, 11° Nvever, are still only working " shorttime." In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, business was not quite so active, but prices were fir m. The sales were about 8,000 bales. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England on Saturday. At the forthcoming meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company the usual dividend of £2 per share will be proposed. The Discount Market continues in a quiescent state, the inquiry for commercial purposes being .41 7 moderate, while the absorption for joint stock enterprise and speculative adventure is unusually limited. There is an abundant supply of money, and as the quantity of bills brought forward is small, the rates, which are influenced by compe tition, still show a downward tendency, owing, however, to the augmented demand for silver on astern account, and the possibility of a reflux of gold to the Continent. A further decline in the Bank of England minimum quotation is less confi dently spoken of, although large supplies of specie are expected from Australia, the West Indies, &c., Which will probably be sufficient to meet the ex port-demands. _ _ The' half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Bank Corporation has been held to-day, at which the re- Port was adopted, and a dividend of 5 per cent., together with a bonus of 4 per cent. was declared, Making a total distribution of 16 per cents. for the Past year. There has not been much animation to-day in the Market for Public Securities, but, owing to some speculative purchases Consols have risen to 92 for transfer, and to 92 921 for the account. Business, however, continues very dull. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 901 Bank Stock has advanced to 234. India 5 per Cent. Loan is steady at 1011 21-; ditto 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has improved to 781,-; ditto 5 per Cent. to 94h and Exchequer Bills 2s. dis. to ls. prem., Showing no alteration. Business in the Foreign Market has been quiet, but prices in some instances have improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701- a ; ditto, 1858, 53} 54; Dutch 21 per Cents. have advanced to 632 648 ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 102 ; and Spanish to 49 1 t 1; Danish 3 per Cents. are 82. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a rather limited scale and the variations in values unimportant. Great Westerns, Lancashire and:Yorkshire, and Midlands have improved 55., Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee declined 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been only a limited business transacted. South Austrian and Lombardo are steady at 121. Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 201, and East Indian to 99; Great Indian Peninsula have im proved to 941 951. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dealt in to a limited extent, at about previous quotations. London and Westminster have de clined ss. ; and Union of Australia ss.

We are no longer in the times at which the Congress of Vienna distributed provinces to Sovereigns, without troubling itself about affini ties of race and interests, and it is not a Govern ment which, like that of France, is based exclusively on the principle of national sovereignty, which can endeavour to carry us back to that epoch. Venetia must become independent, but her inde pendence must be bought by Italian money or blood—not with the liberty of two slave popula tions, who hope soon to enfranchise themselves." M. Fechter, the French actor, who has had euch remarkable success in "Hamlet" at the Princess's Theatre, is now studying lago, which he is to perform to the Othello of Mr, Phelps at the Name house.

For good and fine qualities there was a fair demand, at mostly full quotations. Inferior sorts, however, were a dull inquiry. Barley, oats, beans, and peas commanded full currencies. The flour trade was in a sluggish state. Throughout the continent wheat has changed hands heavily, and prices have had a drooping tendency. All descriptions of spring corn are dull. In the United States very little change has taken place in prices. - Only limited supplies of home produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 20,103 quarters cf wheat, 2,060 barley, 15,812 oats, 625 beans, 851 peas, 30 tares, 3,037 linseed, 2,228 rape seed, 745 maize, 923 sacks and 528 brls. of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning'■ market were again on a very moderate scale, but the con tinuance of favourable weather has tended to further im prove the condition of the samples. For good and fine qualities the demand ruled steady, and prices were fairly supported. All inferior parcels, however, were a dull in quiry, but without leading to any quotable change in their value. _ _ _ The inquiry for foreign wheat was devoid of animation. Generally speaking, however, holders were firm, and, com pared with last week, no alteration can be reported in prices. Floating cargoes were in limited request, at about pre vious currencies. Fine malting barley commanded a steady sale, at quite last week's quotations ; but inferior kinds, as well as grind ing and distilling sorts, were a dull sale, on fo!mer terms. The transactions in malt were of a limited character, at the prices current on Monday last. The oat trade ruled firm, at an improvement in the quo tions of 6d per quarter.

This was a writ of error from a decision of the Exche quer Chamber. in Ireland, and the question raised was whether a clergyman of the Church of England could law fully marry himself by reading in private the marriage service of the Church of England. Their lordships were of opinion that the marriage was not lawful, and that the children of the marriage were no legitimate. _ _ . Their lordships gave judgmmt for the plaintiff in error, and reversed the decision of the Court below. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and Justices NV ightman and Williams. SIIEDDON V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND PATRICE. This morning Miss Sheddon applied to the Court to allow her further time to make her application for a re hearing of the above case• In making her application the young lady earnestly entreated the Court to grant what she required, because she felt, if time was allowed her, she should be able to prove that she stated in her affidavit merely that fraud, falsehood, and perjury had been com mitted .by the other side, in order to obtain a favourable judgment. The Judge Ordinary asked Miss Sheddon if she was now making her application for a re-hearing. Miss Sheddon said she was simply asking that increased time for making out her application might be accorded her.

The Court could not interfere at the present time. She could do as she pleased, whether she made the application or not, and take the responsibility of such a step. The Court had nothing to do with it. Miss Sheddon said she should like to inform the Court why she did not then make the application. The Judge•Ordinery said there was no necessity for her doing so. If the application was made on a future day the Court might say that it was made late, and then the rea sons could be stated, which might or might not be consi dered sufficient. Miss Sheddon said she would not urge the point further. At the termination of the former trial the whole of the papers that had been produced in court were returned to Mr. William Patrick, who since that time had died. Now, as a great number of those documents had come upon her by surprise she begged the Court would make an order to enable her, or her counsel, to inspect such portions of them, under proper supervision, as might be thought necessary. A statement had been made by the Court that her father had surreptitiously abstracted certain documents from the Court of Session, but that statement she could only think had been made by parties who had the greenest interest in the proceedings. She altogether denied that any of the papers had been obtained wrongfully by her father ; the papers had been obtained by herself, and if anything of a surreptitious nature had been done, which she utterly denied, she:was the person responsible. Her father had never set foot in Scotland after the year 1852, and it was not until the hearing that herself or father heard that there was any such charge against them, and they had been taken completely by surprise, as also by the production of documents which had been withheld frornher inspection. It was absolutely necessary in order fiat her counsel should be in a position properly to make out aldavits to be used in making the motion for a rehearing, and which documents were believed to be in the hands of Mr. Carmen and Mr. M'Kewan, two of the trustees of the late Mr. William Patrick. She also desired that these gentlemen be called upon to appear at the hear , ing, and to produce the documents, more especially a letter dated June 14, 1839, and the letters of Dec., 1798 and 1799, _ _ and also the bond for £4,000, said to have been executed by her grandfather, which she asserted was a forgery. Her fwkbnr had been moat relentleatly persecuted tor fourteen years, and for the last four years and a half ho had been confined in prison, but on Saturday last he was restored to liberty, and no one but a daughter whose parent was placed as hers had been could feel the joy she felt at such a moment. He had not had the opportunity of c'osely and minutely looking over the papers, and now that ',he was at liberty she trusted that, under proper supervision, they might be allowed to exa mine and take copies of such as they thought most mate rial. It was true that, towards the close of the former trial, she had been allowed about twenty mi nutes' inspection of the documents that had occasioned her so much surprise. Her father being in prison, she was accompanied by Mr. Nethereliff, an expert in handwriting, and while that gentleman was occupied making his notes Mr. Carmen's ;conduct was such that to preserve self respeet she was compelled to leave the roan. Mr. Miller, who was also present, was excessively insolent; and having had to endure it once she would take eare she did not suffer the same indignity again. Scott had truthfully drawn the pieture of a daughter defending her aged father ; and Glossin, they all knew, did not scruple to turn round and insult that girl. She could not say how extremely difficult she felt her present position, but as there could be little trouble and expense in granting her request, she! implored the court "to grant it. It was a duty it held to itself as well as justice to her father. If the court had been misled into making statements that were inconsistent with the fact, it was but right such should be most rigidly examined into—justice demanded that the charges should be searchingly investigated, and she felt certain, if it should appear that the court had been wilfully misled, it well knew how to vindi cate its own dignity. She pleaded thus earnestly on this point because her counsel, Mr. Collier, had not read or even seen some of the documents, and it would be impossible for him to master the difficulties with which the case was surrounded without the fullest information. She did not wish for anything that was unreasonable, and surely it could not be considered so by her asking that the 'par ties at present having the custody of the papers of the late Mr. William Patrick should be cited to that court to pro duce them. Dr. Deane said he appeared for the respondents. The Judge Ordinary thought he had no locus stanch:. There was, in fact, nothing before the Court. Miss Shed don had, as he understood the case, made three applica tions to the Court first, that the time for making the application for the rehearing of the suit might be postponed. Secondly, that certain documents should be inspected and copied by order of the Court ; and, thirdly, that certain persons be cited to appear with those docu ments. With respect to the first there was no occasion to apply to the Court to grant further time for making the application for reopening the case. When the upplication wuUICI Os the proper time tor the Court to say whether the reasons offered justified the application, as the Court could not deal with it. With reference to the productionof the documents referred to, they related to a suit that had been before the Court. That suit had ter minated, there had been a judgment, and the documents were retained in the hands of the parties who had produced them in court, and he could not at the present moment order their production for the purpose Miss Sheddon re quired. With respect to citing certain persons to appear, there was as yet no proceeding or suit in that court to attend which he could cite them. As he had said before, there had been a suit and there had been a judgment; and if an application to re-hear that case was to be made, the Court would then hear patiently all the reasons that could be advanced for such a proceeding. The other Judges concurred with the Judge Ordinary. Miss Sheddon thanked the Court for its attention, and withdrew with her father and friends. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Assistant Judge.) IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF THE VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS.-REILLY V. FRINNEEY. This was an action to recover £5 35., the value of a rifle supplied to defendant, who is a member of the 4th Surrey Rifles. _ Mr. Jewitt, of Leadenhall •street, appeared for the de fendant, and pleaded payment. John Baker said he was manager to the plaintiff, who is an ironmonger carrying on business in Oxford-street. In October, 1859, a rifle was supplied to defendant. The price was £5 35., which had not been paid. There was a contract with the regiment, but witness had not brought it. By Mr. Jewitt--Knows a person_ named Sergeant Doughty. Mr. Jewitt (handing the witness a document) —Now read that. What is it ? Witness—lt is a receipt signed by the sergeant g acknowledging payment of the money for this rifle. Mr. Jewitt—And signed for Reilly ? Witness—Yes, but he had no authority from our firm to sign for us or to receive money on our account. He is not in our employ, neither is he our agent. I believe he was 1914140tiiil 11'W t 9 the *t4 SArrey AjAcp, i tR9 ;vim A POLISR REFUGEE CHARGED WITH THREATENING TO CUT HIS WIFE'S THROAT. —Joseph Jesnoski, a Polish refugee, by trade a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Selfe with threatening to cut his wife's throat. The wife, having stated that the prisoner had several times threatened to cut her throat and his own afterwards, that he had beaten her children several times, and that he had beaten her black and blue and struck her in the eye, handed in the following certificate : This is to certify that Joseph Jesnoski, a Polish refugee, residing at 24, Dudley-street, is unfit to take care of him self, and is dangerous to others. T gave a certificate to this effect seven weeks ago, when he was in St. Giles's Work house. He remained there some weeks, but was sent out, his wife tells me, because he was not sufficiently insane. Trios. YOUNG, Government Medical Officer to the Polish Emigration Society. 8, Sackville-street. Mr. Selfe—lf the man is a lunatic, this is not the proper place to bring him to. (To the prisoner)—Your wife says you threaten to cut her throat ? Prisoner—When ? I know nothing about it. Mr. Selfe—l think the wife wishes to get rid of the burthen of him. ' ' The wife—He has a pension from Government, and that will go to keep him. A constable having stated that he had seen the prisoner going about for weeks as early as 5 o'clock in the morning, dancing and kicking about, and that the other lodger s in the house were frightened of him owing to his violence, Mr. Selfe said he knew Mr. Bennett as a very human man, and did not think he would send a man out of the house if he was insane. The wife said he had done no work for three months, and he was very spiteful and dangerous. Mr. Selfe—lt is a very strong measure to deprive a man of his liberty because he is a little queer. I will take his own bail in £lO, but if he behaves unruly again he will go to prison for three months, METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in our market to-day. On the whole, the demand ruled steady, at about previous quotations. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and in full average condition. The attendance of buyers was rather numerous, and nearly all breeds of beasts commanded a steady inquiry, at last Monday's currency. The extreme value of the best Scots was 5s per 81bs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, amounted to 2,000 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses. We were again fairly supplied with sheep, the quality of which exhibited some improvement. The mutton trade ruled firm, at full quotations. The best old Downs in the wool realised 5s 10d, out of the wool 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs. Prime lambs commanded a steady sale, at full prices. Otherwise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish state. The quotations ranged from 6e to 7s 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight, 320 lambs reached us in p or condition. We have to report a dull sale for calves est a decline in the currencies of 2d per Sibs. The top price for veal was 58 6d per 81bs.

Witness—lndeed you have. supplied him with rifles, but I have delivered rifles to him, and delivered to him the one now sued for. I never agreed to pay him a commission. He has had presents, but was never led to suppose that ha was to have commission, though he now claims it. I was introduced to the corps by a cer tain gentlenrn. . Jewitt —Our case is that we have paid the money. Doughty brought the rifle to defendant, and produced a bill from Reilly. My client looked upon him as the agent of Reilly, and paid the debt. His Honour—The difficulty is to show that Doughty was the agent authorised of the plaintiff. It does not follow that because Doughty was authorised to get orders that he was also empowered to receive money. You see defen dant had an account from the plaintiff, and, consequently, mnst have known to whom he was indebted for this rifle. Mr. Dewitt--The sergeant is here, and your Honour 1861 I will hear his evidence. „.. Sergeant Doughty said he was formerly in the 4th Surrey Rifles, but now was not. The receipt put in was signed by witness. Had introduced a number of members to plaintiff, and had altogether received from plaintiff's manager about 30 rifles. Baker promised to give witness a commission of 5 per cent., and witness claimed something now. Witness had received money and paid it over to Baker, who allowed witness to do so. Baker—Never without you produced the bill. Baker—l never received money from you without a pro per bill. Witness—l have paid you money when I have received it in my own name. Mr. Jewitt—Name one person who has paid you, under such circumstances. Witness—Mr. Martineau, a member of the corps. Baker—A precisely similar case to the present. Witness—l know you say so, but 1 have paid you and often have tried to bring it to your mind. Mr. Jewitt—Name another. Witness—Mr. Nash. Baker—Will you swear you gave Nash a receipt in your own name? Witness—No. Sometimes Reilly signed the bills. I cannot mention any other but Martineau. Baker—Did I ever give you authority to sign for the firm ? Witness—Never. You owo me commission, and I hold the money to pay myself. His Honour—You had not any right to do so. If you have any claim upon the plaintiff for commission you should sue him, but you have no right to hold the money. Baker (to the wituesB)—For what did you leave the corps? Witness—Never mind. His Honour—That will do. It is perfectly clear that the defendant is liable. He has paid the wrong person, and an unauthorised agent. _ _ Mr, Jewitt —My client having paid the money a long ,ime ago, considered that he was bound, upon public grounds, ,o defend the case, and ascertain the facts. His Honour—There is no imputation upon your client, who has aoted perfectly fair throughout. He can reco ver from the Sergeant. The verdict now will be for the plaintiff. POLICE iNTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBO ROUGH-STREET. _ THAMES. £ " :c " 7"'' --803113,ERY.—Thoulas Alcock, a dissipated-looking man, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing £lO. Eliza Fletcher, a married woman, said she was em ployed at the Thames Plate Glass Company's Works, and her husband was a seamen, and serving in the fleet in China. On Friday afternoon last she received a remit tance of £2O from her husband, at Hong Kong. The pri ssner's wife knew she had received the money, and sail "what you don't want at present you had better give me to mind, for the lock of your door is a very defective one." She handed £lO of the money to Mrs. Alcock, and that person promised to take particular care of it. She ex pended the remainder of the money in necessaries, and the payment of her debts. On Saturday after noon she asked the prisoner's wife for the £lO, and she said her husband had taken it from her. She went in search of the prisoner, and found him at the Crown public-house, in Blackwell, and asked him for her money. He said he had not got it. She asked where it was, and what he had done with 'it, and he became very abusive, and said that was best known to himself. A young woman named Simpson, the niece of the last witness, said that she lived with her aunt at No. 4, Ann's place, Orchard-house, Poplar, and saw the prisoner take the money from his wife. James Stock, a police constable, No. 184 K, said that when he took the prisoner into custody he said he had lost £8 of Mrs. Fletcher's money. The prisoner said that a girl he fell in with cut his pocket and took the money away from him, and he could not help it. Mr. Woolrych—You had no business with the poor woman's money at all. The Prisoner—My wife gave it to me. Mr. Woolrych asked the prosecutrix why she entrusted the money to the prisoner's wife. Mrs. Fletcher—The prisoner is my landlord, and I thought his wife would take care of the money. His own child saw him take the gold out of a purse and throw the purse down. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner had better find the money and restore it to the poor woman. He should for the present remand the prisoner until Monday nps.c. The prisoner, who is a s ubs-cutter, said ho did not care, and left the dock in the most unconcerned manner. THE PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.6 i per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about seater in London than in Hamburg. INCREASING VALUE OF LAND IN THE HOME COUNTIES.—The Eyeworth estate, lately advertised for sale . by auction, has been disposed of by private treaty by Messrs. Chinnock and Galsworthy, of London. The pro perty, consisting of the whole of the parish of Eyeworth, containing about 1,220 acres, with the advowson attached, and producing about £1,480 per annum, has realised the large pricq of £55,000. There being no residence on the estate, it can only be regarded as a pure landed investment, being at the rate Df upwards of 361 years' purchase.—Bed ford Times. POOR RELIEF IN IRELAND.—In the year ending ' at Michaelmas last 170,549 indoor poor and 8,965 outdoor poor were relieved in Ireland,—an increase over the pre vious year of 16,843 indoor poor and 3,540 outdoor. Still the numbers were small ; although all but a mere fraction were relieved in the workhouse, the average daily number of indoor poor was only 41,341 —an increase 0f972 over tbor previous year. The expenditure amount ed a,266, 9d. in the pound on flu. N-.2..aun of rateable property, £12,280,029. C HURCH ENDOWMENTS AND ESTATES.—The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England state in their annual report just issued that the total number of benefices and districts now augmented and endowed by them amounts to 1,272, and the total permanent charge on the " common fund" (including grants in respect of benefactions paid to the commision) exceeds £92,600 a-year, besides which the commissioners have annexed land and .tithe renicharge of the value of £8,400 a-year ; and the common fund is further charged with £lB,OOO a-year payable to the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, under arrangements made in 1843, which then enabled the commissioners to make immediate provision for additional cures. The Church Estates Com missioners report the sales of reversions and purchases of leasehold interests which they have approved during the year, and state that since August, 1851, they have approved 2,127 transactions, and the value of the property dealt with exceeds £7,750,000. They add that there is a sensible dimi nution in the number of transactions reported for the last year, and that the decreas e may point to the conclusion that the system of voluntary enfranchisement by the episcopal and capitular coiporatien4 Will WAY rNiiire to De maintained pr 4 1 4494 peri9c,• 271 E LAST OFpLD WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. In a few days, all that remains of old Westmin ster-bridge above low-water mark will have disap peared. One solitary arch, out of the thirteen which have stood for so many years, alone remains, but of that only a portion of the lower course of masonry. On Friday a number of gentlemen visited. the bridge, stood for the last time on the ruined arch, and had an opportunity of seeing the massive character of the old work. Strong and permanent as the remaining portions of the bridge appear to be, they are, however, completely distanced by the enormous solidity of the abutments and piers for the new bridge, which. are fast approaching completion. On the Surrey side, the abutments and pier seem as though they were constructed to outlive all time. In the solid part of the work, a quantity of stone of which the old bridge has proved a most valuable quarry has been worked up, and the spaces between the solid blocks filled up with brick and cement, the whole forming one solid mass durable and unyielding as the granite rock. Two piers alo ne rema i ns to be constructed for the new bridge, and in order to build these it has been necessary to remove the piers of the old bridge, which happen to occupy the spot upon which the new ones will be built up. The difficulty of remov ing those portions of the old bridge which are below the water line were exceedingly great ; strong iron bars, bolts which pass through the stones for the purpose of holding them together, strong iron clamps, timber, and iron piles , have become so com pletely incorporated with each other as to form a solid rock.. This mass, which has existed for more than a century, can be only disintegrated by such slow and tedious processes as the men lowered in the divi ng b e ll can employ. In the face of all these obsta c l es , h owever , the work of removal has progressed rapidl y , and it is intended to blast some of the remainin g p or ti ons o f th e piers for the pur pose of facilitating their removal. So far as the new works' are concerned, the progress which has been made is satisfactory. The iron work for the first arch on the Surrey side has been placed upon. the pier, and very little remeins to be done to the abutment to admit of the iron ribs being placed in p os ition, and the first arch being Completed. On the Miadlesex side the same progress has been made, so far as the masonry is concerned. These arches, No. 1 and No. 7, are of the same span, viz., 94 feet 9 inches, and their height above Trinity datum is 16 feet. The next on each side, Nos. 2 and 6, are 104 feet 6 inches, and height 17 feet 7-g -inches ; Nos. 3 and 5 are 115 feet span, height 19 feet 31 inches ; while the centre arch is 120 feet, and its height above Trinity datum 20 feet. The rise, therefore, from each side of the bridge to the top of the centre arch is'but four feet. There are seven ribs to the portion of the arch opened for traffic, and there will be the same number upon the portion of the arch which yet remains to be corn- Veted. These ribs and their supports are cast in sections, and are built up in portions upon the beds prepared for them on the piers, until the crown piece is placed in position, and the arch is thus completed. So far as the piers are concerned, they will not require to have coffer dams. Neces sity in this case was the parent of invention, for as the new bridge was to be constructed while the old - one remained standing, as the one consisted of thirteen and the other of seven arches and as the position of the piers of both did not coincide, the effect of constructing coffer dams would have been to have dammed up nearly the whole of the river. In point of fact the new bridge could not have been built while the old one was standing, if it had been necessary to proceed by the old-fashioned mode of budge-building. Instead, therefore, of driving the two rows of piles, filling up the open between them with clay, and pumping out the water contained in the enclosed area, 145 piles were driven on the area which each pier occu pies, to an average depth of 29 feet, the test of their having reached the proper depth being that each pile should sink only one inch after ten blows on the head with an iron ram of one ton in weight. Round these timber piles are driven 44 cast iron piles, to a depth of 24 feet. Each of these are cast with a groove on their opposite sides, and iron plates are driven down these grooves to h depth of 14 feet below the lowest part of the bed of the river. The site of each pier is thus marked by tim ber and iron piling, and encased in armour plates of iron up to within a few inches of low-water mark. These form the foundations of the piers, and so far as its durability is concerned—of which doubts have been expressed in some quarters—it may suffice, to quiet any apprehensions on that score, to say that the result of experiments made by a committee of the British Association was, that 'a plate of iron, ono inch in thickness, would require 3,36 2 years to corrode through, with one side exposed to the action of the air and water, and about half that time if both sides were exposed to similar corroding agen cies. There is not much fear, therefore, for the permanence of the work connected with the foun dations of the piers. By the mode of construction which has been adopted, the foundations have been brought up to the level of low-water mark, and aro not below the bed or the river, as in the case of other bridgcm over the Thames. The consequence of this is, the pressure upon each bearing pile will not be more than 15 tons, while, in the case of London-bridge, the pressure is as much as 80 tons upon an equal surface. The rapidity with which the material of the old bridge has been removed, and the absence of casualties of any consequence, afford evidence of the foresight and energy with which the works have been carried on by Mr. Thomas Page. It is expected that the remaining half of the bridge will be completed and opened for traffic early in the next year. 7IIE CENSUS. BLACKBURN.—We can state positively that the population exceeds 63,000.—Preston Herald. CAMBRIDGE.—At the last census the population of Cambridge was 27,815 ; but at the time the census was then taken, it was " full term ;" this time it is supposed that there were not so many members of the University in Cambridge by 1;000 ; it is therefore a matter of doubt by many whether the population here will have reached 30,000. Con sidering the increase of New Town, City-road, and the various new streets that have risen here in ten years, we have no doubt that 30,000 will be " topped." Chesterton will assuredly show a great increase, but many villages around appear to have remained stationary, so for as we can gather.-- Cambridge Independent. CHELTENHAM.—The population is said to be 40,815, an increase of nearly 15 per cent. on the return for 1851. CHESTERFIELD.--The books of the different enu merators show, as would be anticipated from the large influx of mining population, a very large in crease. The returns of the census for Chesterfield in 1851 were 6,801, whilst the present return exhi bits a total of about 10,550.—Derbyshire Courier. DARLINGTON. The total population of this township is 15,779, or close upon 16,000. DORKING.—The results show an important in crease in the population, the number of inhabitants being computed at 6,990, against 5,995 as recorded in 1851, an addition of 995 souls having taken place since the last-named period.—Sussex Express. GUILDFORD.—The grand total is 9,439, being an increase since 1851 of I,3ss.—Surrey 7inies. HALESWORTH.—The population in 1861 is 7,995, showing a total decrease in the division of 394, which may be cliiefly attributed to the large migra• tion of the labouring classes into the manufacturing districts.—. Norfolk, News, HUNTINGDON.—HappiIy the census must not be taken as the index of all kinds of progress, or the inhabitants of this ancient borough will have to deplore a retrograde motion instead of rejoicing in. a progressive one. The census has been taken, and it shows a decrease of 67 in this almost stagnant borough. The populationis now3,BB6.—Cambridga Independent. KETTERING.—The estimated population of the town of Kettering, as recently enumerated., is 5,845, being an increase of 647 p ersons over the census of 1851.—Leicestershire Mercury. LEWES. —Although the returns are not officially completed yet, the population may be pretty closely estimated at from 10,000 to 10,100. —Sussex Ex. press. • ORmsTanii.—The return for 1861 is 6,422. The .light increase on the present census is only 244, which may be accounted for that in 1851 there was a large increase of the Irish population, which has since then considerably decreased.— Ormskirk, Ad. vertiser. a REIGATE.—The population has moreatri n h shnow doubled since the last census ; the whole parish exactly 10,000, viz. : — The town, 2 ,008 ;the foreign, 7,992. —Sussex Express. WEDNESBURY.—AIthough we are not prepared give the a populationcor re c t return, ofthis thatoatas returned by' the census, will be about 21 ,000, tt 0, or an increase of 7,000 during the last 10 years.—Staffordshire Ad vertiser.
