Oo the other side of New Tooley-street, towards the bridge, handsome new houses have be n erected. The inconvenience that arose from the in tersection of Old Tooley-street and the High-stree, is obviated by the elevation of the New Bridge, so that now the important commerce of the wharfs along that side of the river neither impedes nor is impeded by the traffic over the bridge, but is cor inued nnder an archway beneath. A similar im provement has been made on the opposite bank, as respects the communication between Upper and Lower Thames-street. In both instances a facility of communication with the bridge has been secured by new branch streets. Passing to the City side of the bridge, the first object which strikes the eye is the new Fishmonger,' Hall. This occupies a site im mediately to the west of the bridge. It is a spa cious quadrangular stone building, with two fronts, one towards the river, and one facing the new street. The river front has a lofty portico in the centre, supported by columns of the lonic order. That towards the road has semi pillars of the Doric order, with pilasters on either side. The new street, which is of breadth proportioned to the bridge, enters Fish-street Hill by a gentle curve near Eastcheap. A handsome row of houses has been erected on either side, most of which are already occupied by shopkeepers. An opening is left opposite the, Monument, which is now seen to better advantage han ever befure. Various other branch streets are intended to be formed, and when these are com pleted, this part of the city will fully rival any part of the West end.

LIEGE, SEPT. 16. repays the obligation, reminds the people of the very different spirit in which the personal disbursements of the King of Holland were conducted. When King William condescended to visit the chief towns of the kingdom, the attendant expenses, in place of being charged to the civil list, were borne by the communes on which the light of his countenance chanced for the moment to shine, and if diamond-set boxes or other princely gifts were ever presented to his private entertainers, he must have prescribed, as a condition, the observance of strict secrecy. When King Leopold travels, he lodges,when that is possible, as King William did also, at the seat of the provincial government, but then it is .not the treasurer of the commune, but the intendant of the civil list, pays all the expenses incurred for the entertainment of the royal retinue. So much is this the subject of observation, that the Belgians, who are a calcu lating people, are many of them at pains to compare his Majesty's expenditure with the limited revenue he derives from the budget, and finding it impossible to reconcile the two together, they ascribe the ways and means to a variety of occult and unintelligibe sources, such as the diamonds and the dowry of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, and the accumulations arising from a supposed system of economy during his Majesty's residence at Claremont It is pro bable, however, that the true secret consists in that prudence and circumspection for which his Majesty has always been distinguished, combined with a .princely and munificent disposition. In the course of the morning the King. and Queen, with their retinue, will arrive at Liege, where the preparations for their Majesties' reception are in a style of mag nificence which is said to have never been equalled in this part of the kingdom. The obelisk of Luxor :a repeated in canvass wherever there was room for it, and where genius was wanting for the invention of new testimonies of loyalty and attachment, the imitative faculty has amply supplied its place. After remaining some three days at Liege, the King and Queen are to visit Verviers and Spa before their return to Brussels, which will coincide with the celebration of the four great days of September. the successful results of their labours in the comple . tion of this stupendous and national undertaking. Votes of thanks to the late Directors, and to the Chairman, were unanimously agreed to, and duly acknowledged. In seconding- the vote of thanks to the Chair man, Mr. PHIPSON said that the Directors had ex pressed themselves much less sanguinely than they were entitled to do. From information which he had recently gained, he had every reason to believe that the railway would be found infinitely more use ful to the public, and more profitable to the sub scribers, than originally contemplated. He had re cently taken a tour in Scotland, and had embraced every opportunity of ascertaining the opinions of practical persons in that country concerning it. He was informed in Glasgow, on the best authority, that the trade from that place alone, to London, amounted to 1,000 tons a day, the whole of which would certainly be transmitted by the railway, as they would arrive here in a much shorter time than at present, and at a diminished expense. The steam vessel by which the goods were shipped from Glas gow would reach Liverpool in 2.1 hours, and in 12 more they would arrive in London.—(Cheers.) The meeting then broke up, apparently highly satisfied with the progress of the undertaking. DONCASTER RACES. Doncaster, Wednesday Night. The settling took place this morning at the New Bet ting Rooms and went off quietly : it is generally considered to be harmless. Mr. Watt and his party are heavy win ners, independent of the stakes (2,3251.) Mr. Gill, Mr. Slater, and Mr. Garner, win ten or twelve thousand pounds between them ; a Mr. Rixon wins two or three thousand pounds; and a publican in the Waterloo-road, nearly a thous aid. Mr. Walker stood to win 30,000/. ; and on the morning of the races, Rockingham was a loser for him ; fortunately, he hedged between three or four thousand pounds, and made about a draw of it. The Scotts backed their horse (Mussulman) with great spirit. The style in which be was brought to the post, evinced a vast improvement on his Newmarket form, and does great credit to the trainer: he was extremely well jockeyed. The race is allowed, by all who understand anything of pace, to have been one of the slowest ever known for the St. Leger, and leaves us almost as much in the dark as to the real merits of the horses, as we were before it was de cided. The poverty of the pace is sufficiently shown ; first, by the place occupied by Glaucus (who has been dead amiss for a considerable time); second, by the man ner in which Major Yarburgh's Roarer Laurel's dam caught his horses, after having had a very bad start ; and, lastly, by the way in which all the horses ran up at the end ;—bad the speed been greater, some of the places would have been differently occupied, and we should have seen some tailing. PEDIGREE or Roexmanam.—He was got by Hum phrey Clinker (bred by the late Earl Fitz Medora (the dim of Cardinal, &c.,) by Swordsman, his dam by Trampator, Peppermint, sister to Prunella, by Highflyer ; Medora died this summer, leaving a colt foal by Lottery. It is a curious fact that a gentleman some abort time since was in treaty for the Cardinal, and declined the purchase on account of the dam not being thorough-bred ! A half bred mare that could breed such stock as Rockingham and The Cardinal, would be worth something in the market. Rockingham had only been out twice previous to the St. Leger—at Doncaster last, when he was beaten, and for the Shorts, at the York Spring Meeting this year, which be won, beating Dancing Master, Sir Edward Dodsworth's colt, &c. In the course of yesterday a match was made for 300 sovs. each, h. ft , between Sir M. Wood's Cimarine, 9st. 41b., and Mr. Hauldsworth's Circassian, ist. 121 b., to he run D.

COMMON COUNCIL. DUTCH PAPERS. A Court of Common Council, being the first . after the recess, was held yesterday, and was fully at tended. The Act recently passed authorising the Lords of the Treasury to purchase the City's dues of package and scavage was referred to the City Lands Com mittee to be carried into effect. The Court referred it to the same Committee to consider a notice of an intended application to Par liament for a new Cattle Market in the Lower-road, Islington, and to take such proceedings thereon as they may see necessary. The Act for the better advancement of Justice, which recently passed both Houses of Parliament, was referred to the Sheriffs' Court and Secondaries' Committee for consideration. The town clerk laid before the Court the letter he had received from the Commissioners for In quiring into Municipal Corporations, of their inten tion of commencing their inquiries into the city of London, and transmitting such questions respecting the same, which being read, TILE HAGUE, SEPT. 16.—Baron Verstolk Van Soelen, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and one of his Majesty's plenipotentiaries in London, will probably arrive to-day in the Batavier steam-boat, and is ex pected here during the adjournment of the London Conference, to give the Government information re specting the state of the negotiations. A letter from Dordrecht of the 13th says that the cholera, which had prevailed in that town for several weeks, had wholly disappeared. A. letter from Lubeck of the ninth of this month says that a Russian man-of-war of seventy-four guns and seven hundred and fifty men, had been totally lost on the coast of Finland ; only fifteen of the crew were saved. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. SEPT. 17.—Baron Verstolk Van Soelen arrived here yesterday evening. The storms within these few days have again caused various disasters on our coasts.

Arch lii.ltops fifteen Bishops, several Abbes, St. Louis, with the Queen Mother, his brother, and sister, the Emperor of Constantinople, the sons of the King of Aragon and Ctstile, the Duke de Bourgogne, and six Counts, &c. &c. ; and all these great personages were attended by numerous suites, all of whom were lodged within the walls of this monastery. (From the Times Private Correspondent.) It is said that the King of the French and his family in the course of their visit to Cherbourg were carefully avoided by the noblesse of Normandy and the dignataries of the Catholic hierarchy. The Cardinal Archbishop of Rotten took the opportunity of visiting his estates in Belgium, and at Cherbourg the most prominent person in attendance upon his Majesty was that same Colonel de Bricqueville who has so often signalized himself in his place in the Chamber of Deputies, by the motions he has made, and the measures he has introduced, for the expul-. sion of the elder branch of the Bourbons and the confiscation of their property. The King and Queen of the Belgians are now also on a tour through several of the provinces of their kingdom; but in their case there is this diss tinction from that of the Royal Family of France, that the hereditary nobility of Belgium, together with the dignified clergy, have evinced the utmost alacrity in meeting and welcoming their Majesties at every practicable point in the course of their progress. It was on Thursday morning at- nine o'clock that the King and Queen left Laecken, attended by several of the principal officers of his Majesty's household, and by the ladies of honour in waiting on the Queen. They proceeded by way of Water loo. On the same day :he Royal party passed over the field of another battle, less important in its con sequences, but which, in conjunction with that of Valmy, it was the fashion to quote usque ad nau seam in the addresses presented to the King of the French during the first few months after his acces sion to the throne. The town of Namur is one of the fortresses which was placed by the Congress of Vienna under the guardianship and inspection of the Duke of Wel lington. Its situation at the confluence of the Meese and the Sambre, gives it, of course, a high degree of military importance; but overlooked and com manded as it is by the steep rising hills in the hol low of which it is embosomed, its strength must bear a very different value with reference to the school of modern warfare, when compared with the regular fortifications of the school of Vauban. Being the capital of the province, the Royal party on their arrival at Namur took up their residence in the hotel of the prefect or governor, where the Baroness Stassart, the wife of the President of the Senate, was in waiting to receive the Queen, and perform the temporary duties of Dante du Palais. The ordinary population of the town is about 20,000, but during the three days of the royal visit that number must have been nearly doubled, if we may judge from the extreme difficulty there was of finding the humblest accommodation in the shape of lodg ings. The streets were tastefully decorated with triumphal arches and wreaths of verdure, and such as were broad enough to admit of it were lined with hedge-rows of transplanted trees, the effect, on the whole, being quite as vivid and striking, although not altogether so characteristic as the endless ranges of party-coloured drapery with which the towns and villages of Flanders were decorated at the period of the King's visit to Ghent, Bruges, and Ostend, in the spring of the present year. The town-hall itself, a handsome building, was fitted up in a style of be coming splendour for the ball, which was given by the corporation on 'Friday evening, at which her Majesty condescended to dance two quadrilles, the one with the Marquis de Trasiegnies, the other with M.Victor Bodart. On Saturday the King and Queen ascended the banks of the Maese, as far as Dinant, whose handsome bridge bears the singular inscrip tion, "Ce pont a ete fait ici." After visiting the manufacturing establishments of Dinazit and h. neighbourhood, their Majesties returned to Namur to dinner, and in the evening attended a concert at the theatre, where upwards of a thousand places had been secured, not for the purpose, as at Ghent, of shutting the box-doors, and excluding the public, but to seek an opportunity of testifying the senti ments of loyalty and attachment which animate the inhabitants of Namur. At the nunnery called L'Etablissement des Dames Franaises, which, like other public buildings, was tastefully ornamented, the King and Queen were received by the superior with marked attention. Not content with addresses in vtslgar prose, it seemed as if the tuneful Nine had been expressly retained for the purpose of greeting their Majesties in verse of every form and measure which fancy could suggest. The columns of the Eclaireur, a daily political journal, are loaded with them ; but as it was not expected that the King or Queen would make their answers in hexa meters, there is reason to hope that they may sur vive this metrical infliction. Yesterday morning the King and Queen left Namur, and, descending the right bank of the Meese, arrived in time for breakfast at Huy, perhaps the most remarkable in point of situation, of the whole of that line of fortresses which King Louis Philippe, in a speech from the throne, declared to. have been created for the purpose of threatening the French frontier. The new fortifications, consisting of three ranges of batteries, one over the other, are erected on the very verge of a perpendicular preci pice overhanging the river. The rock on which they stand consists of dark blue limestone, of which there is so much throughout the course of theMaese from Dinant to Liege. But besides the limestone, which predominates, there is an extraordinary inter mixture of other formations, which must make the district extremely interesting to the geological ama teur. Although it does not lie in the beaten track of the tourist, the scenery is so varied, so romantic, and so beautiful, that it must, ere long, be brought into notice. The well-made road on the Macadam principle, is also a great relief from those inter minable chaussees which you meet with in almost every other direction ; and it is matter of surprise, that while Brussels retains its thousands, and Ghent and Bruges their hundreds of English residents, the well-built towns and snug-looking villages on the line of the Maese have scarcely been explored, al though for cheapness and comfort, and the other good qualities which emigrant Englishmen know so well how to appreciate, they have probably the advantage of the great towns of Brabant and Flan ders, which, after all, are only a day's journey nearer home. When the great guns in the lowest battery of the Castle of Huy are fired, the concussion is so great as to shake the walls of the town underneath to their foundations. On the entrance of the royal cortege yesterday morning, it appeared as if the gunners, in the excess of their loyalty, had applied a double charge, to testify the sincerity of their Ma jesties' welcome, as every flash was followed, not by its own report alone, but by a responsive crash of broken windows, which must have delighted the hearts of all the glaziers of Huy. The promenades in that neighbourhood are singularly picturesque; but in spite of the fatigues wide. her Majesty has sustained during the last two or three days, the Royal party spent the forenoon in an excursion to one of those beautiful vallies which send their tributary waters to augment the volume of the Meese. On their re turn, after the King had visited the fortifications, and gitdiies niie is received the public authorities of the pace an d the principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood, their Majesties wer e en tertained at dinner by a distin guishedHuy.memberof the This,however, Senate, exceptionmm er re s to the King's ordinary rule in his tournees through the kingdom. When induced, as in this instance, to accept the offers of private hospitality, the muni ficence with which he acknowledges, and, in fact, This formality having been complied with, Mr. Creed, the Secretary, proceeded to read the report. The report was highly favourable. The Direc tors commenced by congratulating the subscribers on their succes in at length obtaining the Act of Parliament, after all the opposition they bad expe rienced. It appears that the contract deeds are executed for subscriptions for the whole of the ca pital, 2,500,0001.; any 5, ; .. -t Company Is empowered, when 1,250,0001. shall have been paid up, to raise the remainder, or any portion of it, by loan, if it should be deemed expe dient. Equal portions of the line of railway have been placed under the superintendence of the re spective London and Birmingham Committees; and it has been arranged that one engineer should have the entire direction of the works, and that his time and services should be devoted exclusively to the Company. Mr. Robert Stephenson has been appointed engineer in chief. By the plan arranged, the whole railway will be completed at the same time ; and the time to be occupied in the work is at present calculated at four years. One deviation from this plan is proposed; the Directors recom mend that the portion of line at the London end shall be executed with all possible expedition. This recommendation arises from a conviction that the novelty and convenience of a railway contiguous to the metropolis connot fail to excite a general inte rest, and, consequently, to prove an early and pro ductive source of revenue to the Company. . . By the accounts furnished, it appears that the directors have received deposits of .5/. on each share, which, for 25,000 shares, amounts to 125,0001.; in addition to which, they have re ceived 3,165/. 4s. Id. for interest, making the total receipts 128,165/. 49. ld. The total disbursements are 83,4941. 18s. 2d., including 500/. for outstand ing claims, and 10,700/. already paid for the pur chase of land—leaving a balance in hand at the dis posal of the Company of 44,670/. .ss. l Id. On re garding the abstract of the expenditure, it appears that the legal expenses have been tremendous. This was accounted for, in the first place, by the necessity of applying to all the owners of land in the contemplated line (1 I 1 miles); and 2dly, by great opposition to the passing of the Bill. The solicitors' bills, counsels' and Parliamentary fees, expense of witnesses, documents, plans, &c., amount to upwards of 32,0001. The expenses of survey ing and engineering to about 16,000/. more. Several gentlemen took the opportunity of inculcat ing the necessity of great economy in the admini teration of the funds of the Company, but expressed their conviction, that under the peculiar circum stances of the case, the expenses iucurred were riot greater than necessity required. Mr. CARUTHERS suggested the propriety of en gaging a solicitor with a fixed stipend ; but after some conversation, the matter dropped, on the un derstanding that the Board of Directors would take the subject into their consideration. The question that the report should be received was then carried unanimously. The Directors were authorized to affix the seal of the Company to the Register Land the meeting then proceeded to the choice of Directors for the en suing year, in the place of those specified in the Act. On the mot i on o f M r . J. IL HERON, of Man chester, s e c on d e d b y M r . C ARRUTHERS , t h e follow ing gentlemen were a ppointed Directors on the London Com m i t t ee :—l saa c Sally, Esq., G. P. E. Calvert, Esq., Mr. Alderman Barclay, Esq,, Nl G. C. Glyn, Esq., P. Grenfell, Esq., J. G. S. Lefevre, , J. L. Prevost, Esq., 11. Rowles, Esq , T. Tooke, Esq., H. Warre, Esq., and B. Cropper, E-q.; and on the Birmingham Committee—J. F. Ledsam, Esq., R. Garnett, Esq., J. Foster. Esq., W. Francis, Esq., D. Ledsam, Esq., J. Pearson, Esq., W. Phipson, Esq., T. W. Rath hone, Esq., T. Smith, Esq., J. Sturge, Esq., J. Turner, Esq., and J. Walker, Esq. Mr- J. E. TAYLOR (of the Manchester Guardian) moved, and Mr. LARKLY seconded a resolution, in pursuance of the Act of Parliament, appropriating 2,400/. per annum to the 24 Directors, as a remu neration for their services. The former gentleman observed, that inadequate as such a sum certainly was, he was sure the best reward which those gen tlemen could have, would be the contemplation of The town clerk also laid before the Court a copy of the Commission, which having been read, Mr. Deputy WOOD laid before the Court a re port from the Committee in relation to the election of Aldermen, and which stated that the town-clerk having laid before them a copy of the Commission appointed by his Majesty in relation to Municipal Corporations in England and Wales, together with the letter received by him from Sir Francis Pal grave, one of the said Commissioners, proposing to be at the Guildhall on the 10th day of September instant, and requesting him to be prepared with whatever information he could supply on various points, they took the same into their considera tion, and it appearing, in consequence of the refe rences from the Court for making an inquiry into important branches of the Corporation, that the labours of the Committee had, to a very great ex tent, been directed to the objects of several of the points contained in the Commissioners' letter, and might materially assist them in their researches and investigations, and also that it would be a highly desirable as well as an honourable course, on the part of the Corporation, to afford every facility in their inquiry into the nature and constitution of the city, the Committee were of opinion that tbey and documents to the Commissioners as may tend to elucidate that object; and that it should be re ferred to the Committee to superintend the pro ceedings in respect thereof, and to confer with the several officers of the Corporation, and give such in structions and directions from time to time as may appear to be necessary. Upon a motion to agree with the report, Mr. PEARSON moved an amendment. After a short discussion between Mr. Deputy WOOD, Mr. PEARSON, Mr. LAWRENCE, Mr. WIL LIAMS, and some other members, the report was agreed to. A petition from the inhabitants of Leadenhall street and its vicinity, for the Court to adopt mea sures against the removal of the Leather and Raw Hide Market from Leadenhall, was referred to the City Lands Committee. Several reports and petitions for leases were agreed to. The Court unanimously resolved to add 1,0001. per annum to the salary of the Hon. C.E. Law, Recorder, during their pleasure, it being the amount allowed by them to his predecessors. One hundred and five pounds was voted to the Benevolent Strangers' Society, and the Chamber lain directed to pay the same in the name of the Court. Mr. PEARSON gave notice of a motion for a future Court, for a reference to a Committe to inquire if the Court have the power to consolidate the appoint ment of Judges of the Sheriffs' Court ; and if not, whether it will be desirable for the Corporation to apply to Parliament for an Act to consolidate the City Local Courts, and render them efficient for the recovery of small debts. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEIGHBOUR. HOOD OF LONDON BRIDGE. The spacious new streets which were necessary to give effect to the design of the noble structure of London Bridge, are rapidly approaching to com pletion, and present lines of well-built firstrate houses, worthy of the conspicuous situation they occupy along one of the principal approaches to the great city. Those who may not have visited the spot recently will be surprised at the great advance towards completion, which has within a short time been made, particularly on the Southwark side of the bridge. The old narrow High-street no longer exists. Every one of the houses on its western side, from the Bridge to the Town Hall, has been rased to the ground, and their sites added to the street, thus affording a noble breadth of carriage and foot pavements. The old dilapidated tene ments in the rear have also been taken down, and on the ground they occupied, a line of lofty houses has been erected to form a new frontage to to the High-street. Spacious cross streets have been formed, instead of the old narrow ones, and in every instance the corner houses are built circu lar. Red Lion-street, formerly a narrow lane, along which two barrows could hardly be wheeled abreast, will, when completed, be as broad as was the old High-street. The street leading in a line with St. Thomas's-street to the Borough Market, has also been proportionately widened. An opening has been left from which the beautiful church of St. Saviour's and the restored Ladye Chapel are seen to great advantage. On the opposite side of the way, the whole of the houses have been taken down which stood between St. Thomas's Hospital and the Bridge, and a new street formed, which, by means of decreasing arches, is carried with a gentle dscent into old Tooley-street, which it enters just beyond the church. The space between the new street arid the hospital has been surrounded with a noble iron railing fixed in a dwarf stone wall, and which is carried by a bold circular sweep into the new street. The space thus inclosed must " His Majesty arrived at the riglit wing at half past nine o'clock, and rode along the line to the left wing amidst loud hurrahs. His Majesty expresied the highest satisfaction at the condition and appear ance of the troops." ODESSA, SEPT. 3.—The environs of Odessa pre sent a melancholy spectacle this year. A whiter without snow, and the drought at the beginning of the season, have destroyed the hopes of the farmer. The parched fields are covered with yellow grass, and some straw without ears. This had re•u t o: the harvest is the cause of the high price of some kinds of corn. The scarcity is so great, that seve ral merchants are preparing to import oats and barley from Constantinople.

On Thursday last the deceased went out shooting with a young man, named J. Gerard. When about a mile from Eascott, the deceased attempted to make an opening in a hedge wi•it the butt end of his gun. The naz!e was pointed towards his person, and the piece by some accident went off, when the contents lodged in his aide. He died in a few hours. ♦erdict-_Accidental death. LONGEVITY OF THE SWAN.—The other (lay, a male swan, which had seen many generations come and go, and witnessed the other mutations incident to the lapse of 200 years. died at Rosemount.

Wednesday the steamer Heleizsburi„).ll had just arrived at Greenock from Glasgow, and landed her goods and passengers preparatory to her departure across the water and had begun to back so as to swing the bow out into the stream. The Earl Grey was at this mo. ment coming down the river, on which Captain M'Leod, of the Helensburgh, deemed it necessary to let go the fast at the stern to prevent a collision, and directed for ward motion to be given to the engine. When this was Clone it was observed that another steamer was close at hand coming up, which it was necessary also to avoid.
