The following papers relating to briganda.,e in Italy were presented to both Houses of Parliament ast night by command of her Majesty:— No. 1. MR. ODO RUSSELL TO EARL RUSSELL,—(ReCeiVed Dec. 18.) (Extract.) Rome, Nov. 24, 1862. The Bourbon Committee have lately sent a further de tachment of 260 men to join Tristani's band on the frontier. They were well armed, and wore blue overcoats and red trousers, so as to look like French soldiers at a distance,and thereby deceive the Italian outposts and patrols. The men enlisted are chiefly Bavarians, Belgians, and Spaniards. Tristani's headquarters are, according to cir cumstances, either at Santa Franeesca or at Strangolagali, and he draws his rations and supplies from Veroli. It is difficult to conceive for what object the Bourbon Committee continue to keep up and organise these useless bands of foreigners, who, beyond annoying the inhabitants of the Neapolitan frontiers, have achieved no other result than to discredit the cause of King Francis 11. No. 2. EARL RUSSELL TO EARL COWLEY. Foreign-office, Dec. 27, 1862. My Lord,—Her Majesty's Government have freely and candidly expressed their opinion to the Government of the Emperor respecting the French occupation of Rome. Her Majesty's Government have no desire to pursue that argu ment further for the mere purpose of controversy. But, upon a question closely connected with the French occupation of Rome, her Majesty's Government must, in justice to the interests of Italy and of Europe, call upon the French Government to interfere with the Pope's advisers. The Pope himself, with the benevolence Which is charac teristic of him, has always held that his temporal dominion ought to be a territory free from foreign quarrels and aan• guinary conflicts. In this spirit, in 1848, he declared in his allocution of April 29 that he would take no part in the war of Italian independence. The passage alluded to is as follows :—" It is wholly abhorrent from our counsels, see ing that we, although unworthy, discharge on earth the office of Him who is the author of peace and lover of charity, and agreeably to the duty of our supreme apostleship re gard and embrace wi:h equal paternal earnestness of love all tribes, peoples, nations." In the same spirit, when the Bishops of the Roman Ca tholic Communion from all parts of the world went to Rome in the course of this present year, they described Rome, in an address to the Pope, as the seat of a temporal authority, independent of any other; "the eentre, as it were, of uni versal concord ; a place where no human ambition breathes ; where no one ever intrigues for terri ;oriel dominion." They remind the Pope of his own words, that "it is by a special disposition of Divine Providence that the Roman Pontiff, established by Christ the centre and chief of His whole Church, possesses a temporal power." If the French army at Rome protected a power thus holy, religious, and charitable, the evils of the French occupation would be in some degree mitigated. But there is a long distance between the theory thus stated and the existing fact. The political banditti who invest the southern pro vinces of Italy have their headquarters at Rome. They con stantly issue from haunts, rendered secure for them by the cover of the French flag, to destroy whole villages and to murder the peaceful farmers of the south. A detachment of 260 men lately went from Rome well armed, and clothed in blue overcoats and red trousers in order that they might look like French soldiers, and thereby deceive the Italian outposts and patrols. If such detachments of robbers were to be sent from Switzerland into Lombardy the Italian Government would at once protest, and the Swiss Republic would at once put an end to such au unfriendly proceeding. At Rome, however, things are done in a different way; and the high dignitaries about the Pope's person, as well as his illustrious guest the late King of Naples, are believed by the world in general to be the instigators of these incur sions. It is obvious that if the Roman Government were really independent, it would be at once called to account by the King of Italy for these aggressive and unjustifiable pro ceedings, and would not venture to disregard his just and well-founded remonstrances. The continuance of these barbarous outrages is, therefore, an evil entirely owing to the French occupation of Rome, and it would cease at once if proper orders were given by the French Minister of War to the General commanding the French troops in the Roman territory. The Minister of War has but to say peremptorily "Let brigandage cease," and the Roman banditti would be extinguished in a fort night. ARGYLL ROOMS, Windmill-street, Piccadilly.

The musical arrangements under the direction of Mons. Jullien. Her Majesty's Government cannot refrain from submit ting to that of France that the Government of the Emperor ought either to leave the Roman States to settle its own quarrels and to atone for its own misdeeds, or it ought to insist upon a behaviour on the part of the Pope which shall be peaceable towards his neighbours, and in conformity with that impartial love and universal charity professed in words by Pius IX., but utterly disregarded in action by his Minister.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys said that he had no objection to make to the general principles laid down in your lordship's de spatch, and he could assure me that the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne had gone to Rome with very strong instructions upon this important subject. He would state, further, that the opinions of the French Government had been conveyed to the Pope, to Cardinal Antonelli, and to the ex-King of Naples, in a manner which he could not but hope would produce a proper effect. There - was, no doubt, great exag geration as to the extent of the evil complained of, but evil, he could not deny, there was ; and he would take this op portunity of renewing in pressing language the instruc tions with which M. de Latour d'Auvergne was, as he had stated, already furnished.

Her military list com prises —From Corfu, Royal Artillery, Assist. Surg. Comyn and one gunner; Royal Engineers, one ser geant and two sappers ; Ist battalion 9th Foot, Capt. Douglas and Ensign H. Luck ; 2d battalion 9th Foot, 3 men ; 2d battalion 6th Foot, 6 men. From Malta, Royal Engineers, Lieut. R. 0. Jones, for Hythe ; Ist battalion, 22d Foot, 3 men ; 2d battalion do., Ensign Brakspear and 2 men ; 2d battalion 23d Foot, one man, wife, and three chil dren ; Ist battalion 25th Foot, 4 men ; 4th Rifle Brigade, Capt. R. H. Evans and 1 man ; 2d battalion 15th Foot, 15 men; 2d battalion 23d Foot, 9 men. From Gibraltar, Royal Artillery, seven men, two women, and four children ; Royal Engineers, four men ; 2d battalion 2d Foot,five men and two women; 2d battalion 3d Foot, four men, one woman, and three children ; 2d battalion 7th Foot, Lieut. Mont gomery, one man, woman, and child ; 2d battalion Bth Foot, four men, one woman, and child ; 100th Foot, one officer, nine men, two women, nine children; Military Store Department, one woman and five children ; Commissariat, one woman five children; the servants, horses, and baggage of Col. P. Somer set and eight military convicts. The naval list com prises a number of seamen and marines from the Mediterranean fleet, naval officers invalided and appointed to other ships, and several private passen gers. The Megmra went into Portsmouth harbour last evening, and transferred her naval passengers and invalids to the shore and her Majesty's ship Victory. The military will probably not be landed until this afternoon or to-morrow morning, when those ordered to join their depots will be sent on to Their several destinations and the invalids to Chatham. The Megmra left Malta on the 27th ult., and Gibraltar on Wednesday, the 4th inst., at 4 p.m. Fine weather has been experienced through out the passage. The Syrian, screw gunboat, was yesterday re moved from alongside Portsmouth dockyard to harbour moorings in readiness for commission, on the conclusion of her second water-pressure test. The paddle-wheel steamer Terrible, 22, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, fitting for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway, has, upon examination, been found in such a defec tive state that the repairs required to be executed upon her are far more extensive than those at first ordered. Her machinery and engines are being erected in the fitting shop, at the dockyard, but owing to the want of sufficient height, they cannot be fitted until after the Terrible is afloat. These re pairs upon this paddlewheel steamer, which is the finest of this kind in the British navy, will, when completed, render her almost as good as new. The paddlewheel steam vessel Triton, 3, Lieut. Commander Kerby, left Plymouth Sound on Thurs day evening for South America. The screw steam gun vessel Osprey, 4, left Ply mouth on Sunday evening for China via the Cape of Good Hope. The screw steam storesbip Supply, 2, Master- Commander Balliston, left Plymouth on Monday for the Mediterranean. Rear-Admiral Thomas M. C. Symonds, C. 8., Ad miral Superintendent of the Devonport Dockyard, Blue to White yesterday shifted (Tuesday) his on fla b g oar fr d om the guardship of steam reserve Indus, Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., in Hamoaze, Devonport. _ JOHN WHITE, Manufacturer, 228. Piccadilly. COWLEY. MR. ODO RUSSELL TO EARL RUSSELL—(Received Jan. 28.) (Extract.) Rome, Jan. 14, 1863. Your lordship has learnt that General Count de Monte bello denies in the most positive manner the truth of the statement relative to the passage of brigands over the frontier, contained in my despatch of the 24th of November last. Reliable as my informants appeared to me to be, I must now suppose that they were in this case themselves de ceived, and I regret to have unwittingly sent incorrect in formation to your lordship. I also regret to say that I found General de Montebello somewhat annoyed at the occurrence. He said that, by sup posing that men could be armed and equipped in Rome, and sent to the frontier without his knowledge, I had blamed his military administration of Rome ; but that cri tism was a matter of indifference to him so long as his own conscience and sense of duty were satisfied. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF GlBRALTAR.—Yester day a teleararn was received from Malta annotate ing the death of the Right. George Tomlinson, D.D., Lo d Bishop of Gibraltar. His lordship was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1822. H a ving been for some years minister of St. Mathew's Ch a p e l, Spring-gardens, Westminster, he was nominated in 1842,during the Ministry of Sir R. Peel, to theßishopric of Gibraltar. The appointment, which will fall to the gift of the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colo nies, is worth .61,209 a year, payable from the Colonial Bishopric's Fund ; and the Bishop's jurisdiction extends over Malta and the Islands, and the other British posses sions of the Mediterranean. According to Mr. E. Thomp son's Calendars, there appear to be at present about 42 clergy in the diocese. The paddlewheel steam vessel Medusa, Jabez Loane, Master, tender to the Cumberland, at Sheer ness, arrived yesterday (Tuesday morning) at Ply mouth with seamen and marines belonging to the Mars, 80, Capt. James N. Strange, just paid off. His Portuguese Majesty's screw steam corvette Sada Bandeira, 21, from the eastward en route for Lisbon, arrived yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon in Plymouth Soimd, and exchanged salutes with the authorities. I told the General how much I regretted that any state ments of mine should have been a cause of annoyance to him ; that I had made them on what I considered good au thority; and that similar statements formerly made by me bad been entirely confirmed by his predecessor, General de Goyon. The means employed, I said, by the Legitimist Committee to send men and arms to the frontier had formerly been as follows : The men were sent singly on foot to certain convents on the frontier, while old French uniforms were bought from the Jews in the Ghetto, and, as well as arms and other equipments, carried bit by bit to isolated vignas in the Cam pagna, and at night packed in old herring casks, and gra dually conveyed to the frontier, where they were distributed to the men already there assembled. The General said he had entirely put an end to such pro ceedings; besides which he now had the full co-operation of the Papal Government to put down brigandage, and that he could assure me on his honour that armed men could no longer leave Rome and proceed to the frontier without his knowledge, and that I had therefore been misinformed, and the statements sent home by me, and communicated by Earl Cowley to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, would prove to be incorrect: _ _ _ the last arrivals had formed into their places. The proceedings commenced by the inspection of the Ist battalion 3d Buffs, which had arrived in the camp during the temporary absence of the Lieut.- General commanding. The regiment formed line on the right company, and the ranks being opened, the inspection followed in the usual manner. This over, quarter distance column ou No. 1 company was reformed, and orders were given for a general move. The advanced guard was formed by two squadrons of the 13th Hussars, who left the ground followed by the remainder of the regiment with G and C batteries Royal Horse Artillery in support. Brigadier-General Hodge and his Staff preceded the remaining two regiments, the 12th Lancers and the 6th Dragoon Guards. Then followed the 3d infantry brigade, under the command of Col. Sargent, C.B. (the Buffs) consisting of the 2d Queen's, 64th Regiment, 3d Buffs ; the 2d infantry brigade, under Col. Smytb, C.B. (76th Regiment), 2d battalion 24th Regiment, 76th Regiment, and 26th Cameronians ; the Ist in fantry brigade, under Col. Holcombe (Ist Royals), 2d battalion Ist Royals, 37th and 61st Regiments, and Ist battalion sthFusiliers. A field battery was attached to each of the infantry brigades. After marching through Hale and Heath-end the division returned to camp shortly after noon. New Railway and Public Works in the City of London. Capt. H. Chads has been appointed Capt. Super intendent of the docky and and Royal Victoria Vic tualling yard at Deptford. By the promotion of Capt. J. Adams to flag rank, by the death of Vice-Admiral A. T. E.

I replied that I was glad to hear from him that he was so successful in putting down brigandage, and I hoped lie would occasionally give me some con ect inform ation on these subjects as his predecessor, General de Goyon, had done. Count de Montebello replied that he would do so, and . ' that for th e present he could tell me that Tristan i's band ,wa- re d uced to about 60 men, and would probably Boon be alt ogether disbanded and destroyed ; that in Rome he had p ut a stop to all communication between Tristani and his employers, and that he had lately seized and confiscated in a Roman printing establishment about 2,000 copies of a printed proclamation calling upon the Neapolitans to rise and King Francis 11. join their legitimate Sovereign, WHERE TO CUT IT.--A Yankee boy had a whole Dutch cheese set before him by a waggish friend, who how ever gave him no knife. "This is a funny cheese, Uncle Joe, but where shall I cut it ?" " Oh," said the grinning friend, "cut it where you like." " Very said the Yankee, coolly putting it under his arm, "I'll cut it at home." //~ - ~ '3 ' / 1 - • ~1 ~ ~.• „,_, - / ...,•:-.,":,;. oideA , '' • --- ',.---'',' -",,,,, 4 V - 77 - 1,m\\ ,,,.97 ,1 C ".".. i ' ' ' ' v i s, ... 5 0 ---44%.Z 01L1- 47; % 5 .

'lO lio .. .-- ,4 t - f ip . , All-44 Mr. William Haywood, engineer and surveyor to the Commissioners of Sewers, has just presented a report to that body, as the result of a general exa mination of the plans of the various railway and other companies and of the other public bodies which seek powers during the ensuing Session of Parliament to enter and execute public works within the city of London. The projects, seven in number, are as follow :- 1. Ludgate Station and Junction Railways Bill ; 2. London, Chatham, and Dover Railway'Bill ; 3. Me tropolitan Railway Bill; 4. Great Eastern Railway Bill (New Metropolitan Station and Branches) ; 5. Metropolitan Bridges Bill ; 6. Blackfriars-bridge Bill ; 7. Thames Embankment (New Street from Black friars-bridge to the Mansion-house) Bill. The first-named project is to form a company, with power to make a central railway station some where between Earl-street and Skinner-street, city, with junction railways to connect the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway and the Metropoli tan Railway, and also a railway in connection with the new Smithfield-market. The property scheduled begins from the northern side of Earl-street, and is bounded on the west by a line 10 feet from the eastern side of New Bridge-street, which runs along that street, Farringdon-street, and Victoria-street, to the city boundary. At the northern boundary of the city the property as far back as to Fox and Knot court and King-street, Smithfield, is taken. The eastern boundary of the property scheduled thence to Earl-street has an angular outline, the width of which, measuring from the western boun dary, varies from 200 to 300 feet. The total area scheduled is about 171 acres, of which the area of public ways is about 3-1 acres. Fleet-lane is to be stopped up, Water-lane and the streets leading from it into Bridge-street are to be arched over. Earl-street is to be spanned by a girder-bridge 16 feet high, and Ludgate-hill by a similar bridge 18 feet high. Neither the details of the station nor its exact position are yet determined. If the bill passes into law the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company is to construct its line up to Earl-street only. The Metropolitan is to stop at Victoria-street, and the Ludgate Station Company will construct the station and the connecting lines between them. The powers of the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company for taking the land in the city expire on the 6th of August, 1863. It appears to be most probable that a large portion of the property at the western end of Ludgate-hill will be taken down, which Mr. Haywood says will present a favourable opportunity of widening that Important thoroughfare at its junction with Far ringdon-street and New Bridge -street. He suggests that the railway company should certainly be re quired to cross Ludgate-hill with a bridge of such a span as will not interfere with the widening of the street at any future time. By the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's Bill the existing powers of the company for completing the purchase of property within the city, from the Thames to the south side of Earl street, which expire in August next, are sought to be extended until the Ist of August, 1865, and the time given for the completion of the line is also sought to be extended until the Ist of August, 1867. The company seeks power to construct numerous branch lines within the southern suburbs, which Mr. Haywood says cannot fail to be cf great conve nience to the public, as forming part of that general scheme of metropolitan railway communication which he considers must ultimately be carried out in some shape, the principal point to be aimed at being that all such railways should be placed in direct intercommunication with the other railways within the metropolis. The Metropolitan Railway Bill is to empower the company to take additional land upon various points of the line of the proposed railway ; within the city this additional land lies between Little Moorfields and Whit ecross-street. They also seek powers to extend the time for the purchase of lands which they now possess under various Acts for a period of three years from the present session of Parliament. The Great Eastern Railway—New Metropolitan Station and Branches Bill—is to empower the com pany to make certain branches in the eastern por tion of the metropolis also, and pass over the City Ex tension of the North London Railway which is to be in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate. The pro posed miiway is to cross by a viaduct over the North London Railway at or about Worship-street, Shore ditch. It then proceeds on the western side of that railway, and nearly parallel to it, touching the city area for a short distance at Primrose-street and Skinner-street only ; thence running outside the city boundary, nearly parallel to Long-alley, it crosses Eldon-street and enters Finsbury-circus. It is to be built upon a viaduct, the level of the rails at Eldon-street being 18 feet and at London-wall 19 feet above the present street levels. The area sche duled within the city, nine acres and upwards, is bounded on the north by Eldon-street, south by London-wall, east by Finsbury-payment, and west by Blomfield street. From this area four chapels and the eye infirmary at the north corner of Blom field-street are alone excepted. A. complete railway system for the metropolis,Mr. Haywood observes, might once have been so ar ranged that a station might be within half or three- quarters of a mile of every house, and that a passen ger going to any one st ation could proceed to any par of London without leaving th e ra il wa y un til he ar rived at the station nearest to his destination. Con-' strutted as many lines o f ra il wa y now are, or are authorised to be mad e , th e f u ll general benefit wh ich might have been gained by such a system is unfortu nately lost ; but there can be no reason why the principle, if a sound one, should not be held stead fastly in view with regard to all futuro lines. The Me tropolitan Railway, which has just been successfully completed, is intended to be extended up to Fins• bury-pavement, an Act of Parliament having been already obtained fo r that pui pose. The level of the rails at the terminus will be 18 feet 6 inches below am the surface level ; while the Great Eastern Exten sion, as now proposed, will have the lev e l o f t h e ra ils 19 feet abo ve the surface level ; and u sur face near both te rmini bein g at about the l e vel, there will b e a b out 37 feet 6 inches difference se betwee n the levels o ‘ f vi t ll l :e vy t i w th 'o in railway s , T e a Me tropolitan sbe Railway on to the L on d on, Ch at h am, an d course ofhfe.ejoined Dover line; a line which has man metropolitan stations, and probably will have still more. These PRICE..... - ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. railways, therefore, will enable the inhabitants of the metropolis to cross from north to south with a celerity and comfort at present unknown to them. They may be expected materially to relieve some lines of streets of the present traffic, and will un- doubtedly prevent that traffic from increasing at the present rate, which bids fair in a short time to make some of the main streets of the metropolis all but impassable. The Metropolitan and portion of the London, Chatham, ar d Dover Railways, there fore, bringing together as they will the northern and southern suburbs, should be rvgarded, says Mr. Haywood, as forming a trunk line of what may be termed the metropolitan railways, from which the full advantages will not be obtained if opportuni ties are in future lost of connecting other lines of railway with them; for, if the metropolis is to obtain the greatest possible benefit from the various railways now converging to its centre, it will be by establishing, as far as practicable, direct inter-com munication between them. Nor is the direct con venience and comfort of passengers the only point to be regarded, for the same means which would give facilities to them would enable goods to be conveyed without break to or from all parts of the metropolis, and the relief of the streets in any degree from ponderous goods vans must be regarded as a great public benefit. Indeed, although the question of metropolitan and city convenience has alone been alluded to by him here, the subject, he says, has really a far wider scope, as it embraces the question of unbroken railway communication befiveen - various parts of England-remota-Item the metropolis. The extension of the Great Eastern as now proposed, will so far effectually prevent direct intercommunication with the trunk line of the me tropolitan railways and its branches that passen gers arriving by either of the two railways and wishing to continue by the other will have to leave the terminus, cross Finsbury-place, and go up or down between 70 and 80 steps, with all the trouble, inconvenience, and loss of time consequent there upon. In 1861 the Great Eastern Railway was proposed to be extended to Finsbury-circus by a different route from the present scheme. It was intended to join on to the Metropolitan Railway, and there was to have been a grand general station in the circus for the use of both railways. That part of the scheme which embraced a station in the circus, with other important features, is for the present abandoned ; but the construction of the Eastern line as then designed is still practicable, and would, he says, give to the public all the ac commodation it will have by the present scheme, while it would in addition put the north and north west, the east and the south of London, into that unbroken railway communication which appears to him to be so desirable. Nor, he adds, can anything; now be said against the general principles of the Eastern Extension as proposed in 1861 for the completion of the Metropolitan Railway, and its great success must remove all doubts and objections as to the extension of the system on which it is based, and of which the public as yet have but the slightest part of the benefits which will ultimately accrue from its construction. This extension there- fore seems to him to demand the most careful con sideration not only of the Corporation of London And the Commissioners of Sewers, but likewise of those railway companies which will at a future day run trains up to Finsbury, and those sections of the metropolis now unprovided with railway accommo dation, but which at some future day may be accommodated by it ; and if an unbroken system be, as it appears to him, a matter of importance in relation to postal arrangements, the scheme de- I mends the special attention of the Government. The Metropolitan Bridge Company's Bill is to incorporate a company with power to make five new bridges over the river Thames—namely, from Irongate-stairs to Horselydown, from St. Paul's wharf to Bankside, from the Temple Steamboat pier to the Commercial-road, Lambeth ; from Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, to the Albert-road, Batter sea ; and from the York-road, Wandsworth, to the King's-road, Fulham. That which immediately affects the city is the St. Paul's-bridge, which is to start from Paul's-wharf to span the river from that point, and is to be for foot passengers only. The company does not propose to take any property within the city. The only area scheduled is a small portion of the public way known as Paul's-wharf, which is apparently to be used for forming steps, or an incline, to get to the general level of the bridge, and is not to interfere with the access of passengers to the steamboat-pier at that spot. The toll is to be one halfpenny per passenger, and the bridge itself cannot, he says, be otherwise than a public benefit if it be constructed ; and the same may, indeed, be said of the others, while it will be scarcely possible to overrate the convenience of a bridge for foot passengers across the river Thames east of the Tower of London, if it can be accom plished. The Blackfriars-bridge Bill is to enable the cor poration to construct a new bridge in lieu of the present one, with power to take certain property upon both sides of the river immediately adjoining the bridge, so as to improve the approaches. That in the city comprises most of the property in Cha tham-place. The property on the western side of Chatham-place is also scheduled by the Metropoli tan Board of Works for the Thames Embankment. The Bill for the new street from Blackfriars bridge to the Mansion-house is promoted by the Metropolitan Board. The Thames Embankment was sanctioned by the Legislature during the last Ses sion of Parliament. It joins the city at Blackfriars bridge by a junction with Chatham-place, from which point the new street is to start. The centre line of the street, curving eastward, crosses Earl street, and runs parallel with it to St. Andrew's hill, proceeding with a slightly northern inclination to Bennett's-hill, which it crosses at about 130 feet north of Thames-street. It crosses Peter's-hill and Lambeth-hill, midway between Thames-street and Little Knightrider-street, and, curving upwards, enters Cannon-street West by the branch laid out by the Corporation of the City some years ago ; it then runs straight to the north angle of Charlotte row, by the Mansion•house, crossing Queen-street at the junction with Watling-street, Pancras-lane, and Bucklersbury. The street is proposed generally to be 70ft. wide ; that portion which was laid out by the corporation a few years since, when they first projected the street, and which now forms a junc tion street between Cannon-street West and Old Fish-street, is to be left 60 feet in width. Powers are to be taken to widen Upper Thames-street from St. Andrew's-hill to within a f. l w 'n width. feetof Bennet's-hill, so as to make it about 5 Bennet's-hill is no longer to c ontinue ni 3 in t a straight line from Thames - street t o Grea t but will be stopped on the sout h ern htr g ider-street, i side of the new u ion with t he new e s e t , re a e is : street, where it crosses t. A t about 50ft. westward of that point a fresh junction is to be mad e, which to be cont inued th south ward e n t o St. Bennet's Church , and at present, to Upper Thames-street. Various other diversions and alterations of existing modes of communication with Upper Thames -street are also contemplated, and new communications opened out. With respect to the property scheduled, it may be stated generally that the whole of that on the north of Earl-street to a distance of about 90 fret north wards is included; also the whole of the property in Upper Thames-street from St. Andrew's-hill to Old Fish-street, which lies between the north side of Upper Thames-street and Great Knight rider-street, Little Knightrider-street, and Old Fish-street. There is a considerable area of pro perty upon either side of the line up to the Man sion-house, and property having a frontage of 130 feet towards the Poultry is also included. The total area scheduled within the limits and deviation is 19 acres and 18 perches, which includes the area of various streets and public places. Strong brown paper is now being manufactured in America from the wild flags growing in profusion in the low grounds of the Northern States, THE ARMY. In accordance with directions received from the Horse Guards a number of non-commissioned offi cers and men have been selected from the depot companies of Royal Engineers, at head-quarters, Chatham, to augment the 7th and 20th companies, recently returned from colonial service. By direc tion of the Deputy Adjt.-Gen., Col. Chapman, C. 8., a return has been prepa re d of the whole of the non commissioned officers and men at the Royal En gineer establishment, who have completed their course of field work and instruction, with a view to the augmentation of the Whole of the companies on the home establishment to their proper strength. The whole of the available men of the Royal Engineer depot at Chatham are now employed in the manufacture of fascines and gabions for the approaching field-works and siege operations which will be carried on during the approaching summer. The wood used has been cut by Olen), they having been employed in that work for some time past in the woods adjoining Upnor Castle. Yesterday the Division at Aldershott, in accord ance with orders issued on Monday evening, paraded at Bricksbury.hill, about three miles from the camp, for route-marching. The troops were under arms at an early hour, and at the time named were drawn up, infantry on the left, in contiguous line of column at quarter distance, cavalry and h orse artillery on the right i n c l ose column of squadrons.

In the week that ended Jan. 3 the deaths were 1,553 ; in that which ended last Saturday they were 1,310. The average number of deaths in the weeks of 10 years 1853-62 that correspond with last week is, with a correction for increasing population, 1,444. The number in the present return is therefore less by 134 than it would have been if the average rate of mortality had prevailed. The mortality from zymotic diseases was last week above the average, while from pulmonary diseases it was greatly below the average. Under the former head are classed 348 deaths, against a corrected average of 303 ; under the latter head 250, the corrected average being 342. Phthisis is not classed in the tables with pulmonary diseases; it was fatal in 125 cases, the corrected average being 162. There were 28 deaths frotn small-pox in the week, 25 from measles, 61 from scarlatina, 18 from diptheria, 66 from whooping-cough, 63 from typhus, and as many as 28 from croup. There were 154 from bronchitis, 62 from pneumonia, and 66 from heart disease. Six children died of cyanosis ; an infant by murder; one person by intemperance. Two widows died at the respective ages of 95 and 96 years.

LONDON CAB, CABBY, AND CAB-HORSE. —lf It whole host of angels perched themselves on the box of the real modern cab, they could scarcely turn dirt into cleanli ness, or straw into carpet. They would doubtless raise the moral tone, but, like Bob Acres, who would as lief be shot in an awkward posture as a genteel one, they would fail, with all their politeness, in impressing the female mind with. any liking for dirty cushions and the smell of stale tobacco. Can anything be conceived more wretched than the miser able bag of bones, called by courtesy a cab horse, dragging a variolous patient from the scene of his suffering to a hos pital ; and, discharging its load of infectious disease, to ply for hire, at the next turning, amongst the wives and daughters of those millions who cannot afford the luxury of a private brougham ? Yet such is declared to be a frequent use to which the four-wheeled cab is put: What we want is not luxury, but bare cleanliness, an d a condition of horse and driver that would do away w ith the too-common no tions of inhumanity and ruffianism as the characteristics of public traffic.-71re hield.
