Extracts of a letter from San Francisco, dated Ist October, 1850:-- " All personal news respecting me you will glean from my correspondence with my relatives ; in a line I wilt add it up, and say that I have outrivalled St. Paul in disasters and ' perils ofc' by land and sea. I sin at last comfortably located in an old Spanish adobe (mud) building, one of the oldest and largest in the city of San Francisco, with an office in Montgomery street, and part of a cottage on the beach for recreation at leisure hours. The contrast to my fortunes of the past year is cheering, and if my manifest destiny is really to advance, I shall go on my way rejoicing. . . . Sir Henry Huntley brought out here a troop of Cornish miners, steam-engines, &c., for the Anglo-Californian Mining and Dredging Com pany ; but as the reports on which the company was founded in England were not quite true, the very successful Mariposa Mining Company, belonging to an American directory in California, and now in full activity, has been incorporated with it. The quartz vein on the Mariposa is wonderfully productive, and Sir H. Huntley hes ascertained it by a couple of long and adventurous trips to the spot, and has there with his own hands gathered up the lumps of quartz, and pul verized them himself beneath the stampers of the steam engines now at work there with some of his own Cornish miners. In four handsful of the pulverized quartz which Sir Henry took out from under the stamper, and which quartz, before being placed under it, did not appear to contain any gold at all, he took seven dollars' worth of gold dust in granular particles and when Sir Henry was there at the mine 300 tons of rock were ready for the machine or steam-engine stamper. So you can speak about the quartz rock with certainty,' for Sir Henry Huntley is too much of the fine old English gentleman' to play the hum bug in the least. He would go and examine for him self, or he would have nothing to do with the concern. The American Mariposa Mining Company is composed of the strongest (in pocket) and shrewdest men in California, and I make no doubt that an immense fortune awaits all hands connected with this undertaking. M will show you some very rich specimens I forwarded nv this mail, together with a superb crystal of quartz. These companies will be the end of the Californian gold mining operations; all the placer' collections are mere abrasions from the original rocks, mere in tegrations; the quartz being rotted, out shells the gold in dusty or lumpy particles; these are washed by in cessant mountain torrents, which have continued for countless ages down the Butches and ravines • but the true matrix is the rocky range of quartz, so Often met with both in Alta and Lower California. The com panies, therefore, who work in the direction I have indicated, will succeed immensely, for where the quartz rock is met with in the gold districts, there the success will continue, as to the produc tiveness of the auriferous wealth, for many hundred years to come. The same remark applies to Los Angelo's Rocks, which are black gneiss, with mica or inicha. The Los Angelos Company, in about six weeks, will be another startler as to wealth. A dozen companies must, when at work, with a few hundred steam-engine stampers, make an immense increase of the precious metal. How soon and to what extent the price of gold will be changed I can not say but the millions got out have not added one iota as yet to Jonathan's ' pile,' for millions of dollars are this year lying squandered on the plains in the shape of broken mule-teams, dead oxen, broken fur niture and merchandize, which 60,000 emigrants have covered the whole roadway with in endeavour ing to make this country across for the various States of the Union. The sufferings have been awful in the extreme. Gold, geld, is preferred even to life itself! When will this world be a wise one ? The city of San Francisco is going up fast, and each suc cessive knock down given to it by the fires, seems to add to its after beauty and improvement I never hear of any of those maudlin regrets, which the natives of Europe indulge in after being well singed or ruined. Here people are knocked down and and lose everything, but spring up again on their legs, and begin to push on without looking back once."

TONG ERRE TO DIJON.—It is positively affirmed that the railway from Tonnerre to Dijon will commence working in May next. From that time the trains from Paris will go as far as Chalon without stopping, and the journey from Paris to Lyons will be performed in from 14 to 15 hours, instead of upwards of 30, as now taken by the malles postes. A steam-boat will every day wait at Chalon the arrival of the train from Paris, and travellers and merchan dize will be immediately taken on board, and continue their journey almost without interruption by the Saone. GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENTS. Mr. J. A. Curtis is appointed her Britannic Majesty's Consul (without salary) at Cologne ; Mr. James Lowland is appointed Collector of Internal Revenue at the Mauritius ; M.

Three treaties of com merce expire this year, viz., with Holland, France, and the Zollverein, and negotiations will have to be actively resumed for their renewal.

The transactions in Foreign Bonds were not important. Spanish Bonds were rather firmer, and Mexican steady.

The following circular was issued to them on Saturday : Office for the Executive Committee, Exhibition Building, Hyde-park, Jan. 4, 1851. Sir,—l am instructed by the Executive Committee to inform you that it is imperative that they should pro ceed to fix the places in the building for the several classes of exhibitors on the 10th of January at latest, and that unless the allotments of your commit•ee due on the 10th of December are completed and the whole of the vouchers returned to us by that date, the necessities of the case will constrain us to make these arrangements without any reference to those exhibitors whose vouchers have not been furnished to us. I have to express a hope that you will make an effort to send the vouchers immediately, and to avert a result which the Executive Committee will regret as much as the exhibitors themselves.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, M. DIODY WYATT, Secretary. Office for the Executive Committee, 1, Old Palace yard, Westminster, Dec. 12, 1850. Sir,—l am instructed by the executive committee to inform you that the increusing magnitude of the execu tive details necessitate the division of the work into several departments, and to say that it would greatly con duce to expedition and the convenience of the executive committee that you should not mix up two subjects on the same paper in any future correspondence. It is suggested that each of the fillowing subjects should be distincly marked at the head of each sheet:- 1. Space and Arrangement.—Raw Produce. 2. Space and Arrangement.—Machinery. 3. Space and Arrangement.—Manufactures. 4. Space and Arrangement. —Fine Arts. 5. Fitting up of Counters. 6. Visits of Working Classes.—Railways. 7. Juries. 8. Catalogue. 9. Other subjects, and general management. The whole to be addressed, under cover, to me, not at Old Palace yard, but at the Exhibition, Kensington road, Hyde-park, London.

Her Majesty's Commissioners having communi cated with the several departments of her Majesty's Go vernment, are enabled to announce that arrangements have been made to facilitate the registration of designs proposed for exhibition, with the view of protecting them from piracy. 2. Designs applicable to the following classes of articles of manufacture or substances may be the subjects of pro visional registration:- 3. Original designs for ornamenting— Articles composed wholly or chiefly of metal. Articles composed wholly or chiefly of wood. Articles composed wholly or chiefly of glass. Articles composed wholly or chiefly of earthen ware, ivory, bone, papier machi, and other solid substances. Paper hangings. Carpets, floor-cloths, and oil-cloths. Shawls (patterns printed and hot printed). Yarn, thread, or warp (printed). Woven fabrics (patterns printed and patterns not printed). Lace and all other articles. 4. New and original designs for the shape or configu ration, either of the whole or of part of any article of manufacture, such new shape or configuration having reference to some purpose of utility, whether such arti cles be made in metal or any other substance. 5. The provisional registration lasts for twelve months from the date of registration, and may be ex tended for a further period of six months; by order of the Board of Trude. 6. The necessary forms* and conditions having been observed, the right of the proprietor of the design is protected from piracy by a penalty of from 51. to 30/. for each offence, each individual illegal publication or sale of a design constituting a separate offence. The penalty may be recovered by the aggrieved party, either by action in the superior courts, or by a sum mary proceeding before two magistrates. 7. Until articles for exhibition can be received in the building in Hyde-park parties desiring to register a de sign applicable to any article as aforesaid must apply at the Designs-office, No. 4, Somerset-place, Somerset house, between the hours of ten and four. Designs are registered from eleven to three, for a fee of ls. in res pect of ornamental designs, and of 10s. in respect of the designs for articles of utility. When the designs so registered have been certified as having been deposited in the building of the exhibition, such fees will be re turnee. 8. On and after Ist February, 1851, instead of pro ceeding to the Designs-office, in Somerset House, exhi bitors will be enabled to effect the registration at the building of the exhibition in Hyde-park without pay ment of any fees whatever. 9. In order to effect the registration, both More and after the period when articles can be received in the building, three exactly similar copies or drawings of the designs or actual specimens of manufacture, as in woven fabrics, must be prepared according to certain rules. 10. Copies of these rules may be obtained at the De signs-office, 4, Somerset-place, Somerset House, from ten to four, and at the office of the Executive Committee for the Exhibition from ten to five. The most important of these are as follows:- 11. Ornamental designs. DIRECTIONS FOR REGISTERING. Persons proposing to register a design for ornament ing an article of manufacture, must bring or send to the Designs-office 1. Three exactly similar copies, drawings (or tracings) or prints thereof. 2. The name and address of the proprietor or pro- , prietors, or the title of the fi r m under which he or they may be trading, together with their place of abode or place of carrying on business, distinctly written or printed. The aforesaid copies may consist of portions of the manufactured articles (except carpets, oil-cloths, and e7oollen shawls), when such can conveniently be done (as in the case of paper-hangings, calico prints, &c.), which, as well as the drawings or tracings (not in pen cil) or prints of the design, furnished when the article is of such a nature as not to admit of being pasted in a book, must, whether coloured or not, be fac-similies of each other. Should paper-hangings or furniture exceed 42 inches in length, by 23 inches in breadth, drawings will be re quired, but they must not exceed these dimensions. Note—These copies, drawings (or tracings), or prints, must consist of the entire design, without any ad dition or variation whatever, and no description will be admitted. 12. Designs for the purposes of utility. REGISTERING. Persons proposing to register a design for purposes o utility, must bri; 7 ; or send to the Designs'-office the fo' owing particulars:— PARTICULARS.

IRELAND. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S MANIFESTO. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. - The following important comspoi,dence between the Irish prelates and his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury has been forwarded for publication in the Dublin Evening Maar— To HIS GRACE THE LORD ARCHBISUOP OF CANTER BURY. _ Address " W e otfhteheuAndreehrsbiig2nheops undersigned archbishops and bishops of the United Ch urc h o f E ng l an d an d I re l an d, h ave see n in the publi c p r i nts a d ocument ent i t l e d An Bumble and Bishops of the Church of England,' and commencing with the following words: May it please your Majesty, we, the Archbishops and undersigned Bishops of the Church of England, approach your Majesty,' &c. It is with much regret, and not without apprehension, that we have observed the title by which your Grace and the Archbishop of York, together with the suffragan bishops of the two pro vinces under your jurisdiction, have designated your selves in addressing our Sovereign—a title which, we beg permission to say, is unknown to the law of the land, and which imports a virtual denial of the fifth article of union between England and Ireland. Your Grace is aware that by the statute 39 and 40 George 111., c. 67, it is enacted, 'that the Churches of England and Ireland, as now by law established, be united into one Protestant Episcopal Church, to be called " the United Church of England and Ireland."' The title-page of our Book of Common Prayer, and the form of ordaining priests, bear their solemn testimony to the incorporation of the two churches into one, and to the designation by which that one church is to be known. " We have painfully felt that of late years, as well in legislating on ecclesiastical affairs as on many public oc casions, a disposition has been manifested to regard the Irish provinces of the united Church as if they did not form an integral portion of the one Church of the nation. We are conscious that the Irish branch of the Church is peculiarly exposed to the attacks of its enemies; and we are, on that account, the more apprehensive of any step being taken which has a tendency, even in ap pearance, to dissociate our provinces and bishoprics from that great community with which it is our hap piness, and we hope our safety, to be identified. We, therefore, nut unnaturally fear the effect which may be produced by a movement on the part of our English brethren against a common adversary, in which they have not only acted without any concert or communica tion with us, but have styled themselves by a name which would seem to intimate that they are prelates of a - . separate church from ours, and wish to appear so before her Majesty. " We beg to assure your Grace that, in submitting this statement to your consideration, we are not actuated by wounded feeling of disappointment or dissatisfaction, but we deem that we owe it to the Church in which we bear office to guard, as far as in our power, against a separation being made between the component parts of the national Church, which were most solemnly and au thoritatively united together into one. We confidently hope that the form of designation employed in your ad dress was adopted inadvertently, and not from a design to disclaim a connexion with the provinces of Armagh and Dublin. And we trust that we may reckon on having the aid, the sympathy, and the prayers of the archbishops and bishops of the provinces of Canterbury and York in whatever difficulties and dangers may yet await our portion of the Church. " We would respectfully request of your Grace to communicate this expression of our sentiments to the several prelates who signed the address to her Majesty. " JOHN G. ARMAGH. " RICHARD DUBLIN.

"My Lord Archbishop,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a letter signed by your Grace, by the Arch bishop of Dublin, and all the Irish bishops, referring to the recent address of the English Bench to her Majesty, iu which they were styled ' the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England.' " lam anxious to assure your Grace, and my other right rev. brethren in Ireland, that this designation did not originate in any desire to represent ourselves as a separate body, but was employed solely because, in the present instance, ' the movement of the common adver sary' was immediately directed against ourselves. " It did not appear to any of the bishops whom I had the opportunity of consulting that we could properly invite the Irish bishops to complain of an aggression which only affected the Church in England. At the same time, I am ready, for my own part, to acknow ledge that the document would have been more correctly worded, if it had been written in the name of the Eng lish archbishops and bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland. It would have been better to have indicted an inharmonious sentence than to have given ground for the apprehensions expressed in your Grace's letter. '• I will take an early opportunity of communicating the letter to my episcopal brethren, who at present are dispersed in their various dioceses. But I can venture to say, in their behalf, that we all consider the Irish branch of the United Church to be so closely identified with our own, that if one member suffers, the other e‘nnot fail to suffer with it, and that in all cases where co-operation is desirable or practicable we shall be ready to act with your Grace and the other Irish prelates as an united body.

" I make only one exception in the midst of all these human casualties, and that is in favour of the dance, and I rejoice and glory in having to say that once more in our little community the whole world has begun to dance. Thanks to such a lightning conductor, there is no longer any fear that the lightning may fall upon our heads. Our beauteous dames and their accom plished daughters, not three times, as was formerly the case, but four times a week, may now dance and waltz, if so they please, without the least apprehension. " How many enjoyments, how many advantages re sult from these re-unions, for which we are indebted to two or three houses, lovers of the elegances of life, and to two of the Legations (the English and Russian), one of horn (the English) was the first to give the impulse and to originate these amusements, which has rescued us from th narrow confinement in which we were hound hand and foot, every one must perceive himself without our suggestion. " Independently of the bodily dilassement and exer cise which they afford, these receptions have largely contributed to the development of elegant enjoyment, of good feeling, and intellectual improvement; they have brought together men of the most opposite parties to the great benefit of our politics generally, and to the sofien ing and civilizing of our manners. For in these circles the Moseomanyhite (the French), the Nappist (the Rus sian), and the English party now approach each other, hold out the hand of reciprocal friendship, and em brace each other, as the eagle once with the fox. The minister and the diplomatist with their respective sub ordinates and officials are there to be found in ani mated conversation. The general is thrown together with the lieutenant—the professor with the student—the journalist of the Opposition with the journalist of the Minister—but, above all, are we astonished at the sim plicity, the grace, the cordiality, and beauty of the nu merous Greek and foreign ladies who honour them; and on every side surprised at the facility and spirit which distinguished the dancing of our young ladies of every age and class. " Before I conclude this resumt of the month I have to announce to my intellectual lady readers that my_ prayers have been heard; within a short period we s!te . ll have an Italian theatre, and our prima donna Arkiginte Marchesina is, as we have seen with our own eyes in one of the Italian papers, an artist of the first merit, an ad mirable singer, an excellent actress, a nd above all, young and of surpassing beauty. q uire? and if it be " What more does happy Hellas re true that a French vaudeville company is also to arrive, what have we to envy others, even the most advanced communities, unless it be an eighth Minister, to watch specially over this department, of which for the present she is deprived."

This riclietty old structure, so frequently tinkered and cobbled, is beginning to show signs of increasing tottering and decay. The fourth arch from the north, and which was giving way some time ago on the west and east sides of it near the crown of the arch, and which was patched up for the time, is again beginning to appear cranky, and the key-stone itself has slippen a little on the west side, and left at the top of it an opening of nearly an inch, as nearly as we could judge. At this season of the year, when the volume of water in the river is liable to be greatly increased from high tides from below and floods from above, the proper authorities should examine the structure, and use every precaution for the safety of the public. Dr. Delany, who is called the Bishop of Cork, has written a letter to Cardinal Wiseman, congratulating his Eminence on his recent appointments by the Pope, and ex pressive of his surprise that the foolish and ignorant people of England have been so ungrateful as not to receive the Archbishop of Westminster with deepfelt and enthusiastic joy.—North Wales Chronicle. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE RAILWAY TRAFFIU IN 1850. It appears that the gross traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom for the year 1850 amounted to 13,142,2351. on 6,734 miles of railway. The re turns published weekly show that 12,755,2351. was received on the railways during the past year, on 6,257 miles, including about 200 miles of canal, being an increase of 1,741,418/. in the receipts over the pre ceding year on 5,161 miles of railway, and also an increase of 1,096 miles in operation. Independent of these railways, there are about 17 new lines in opera tion, of an aggregate length of 279 ,mile:, the traffic returns on which are not published weekly, but may be estimated at 107,0001. for various periods during the past year, some being partially open and others only for afew months. In addition to these there are 13 other lines, of an aggregate length of 216 miles, belonging to old railway companies who do not pub lish their traffic returns; but it appears from the re turns to the Railway Commissioners that the gross receipts on these lines are about 280,000/. These sums, added to the preceding, show that the gross traffic receipts on the above railways during the past year amounted to 13,142,2551. ; and the agregate length of railway open, and over which the traffic was carried was 6,257 miles, being at the rate of 1,9441. per mile per annum. With regard to the traffic returns of the rail ways in Great Britain and Ireland, published weekly, they show a progressive increase during the past nine years. In the year 1842 they amounted to 4,341,7811.; in 1843, to 4,842,650/. ; in 1844, to 5,610,980/. ; in 1845, to 6,669,2301.; in 1846, to 7,689,8701.; in 1847, to 8,975,671/. ; in 1848, to 10,059,000/. ; in 1849, to 11,013,820/. ; and in 1850, to 12,755,2351. It will be observed that the annual increase in the re ceipts bas been very considerable during the compa ratively short period in which the railway system has been in operation. This increase partly arises from the continual development of the traffic on the trunk lines and partly from the additional receipts derived from the opening of new lines and branches. The in crease of traffic in the year 1843 over that of the pre ceding year amounted to 500,870/. ; in the year 1844, to 768,3371.; in 1845, to 1,058,3401.; in 1846, to 1,020,650/. ; in 1847, to 1,285,780/. ; in 1848, to 1,083,3351.; in 1849, to 954,810/. ; and in 1850 the increase over the preceding year amounted to the large sum of 1,741,4181. At the end of the year 1842 1,510 miles were open to the public; during the next year an additional length of 56 miles of new railway was opened for traffic ; in 1844 a further length of 194 miles was opened; in 1845, 268 miles ; in 1846, 593 miles ; in 1847, 839 miles ; in 1848, 975 miles ; in 1849, 834 miles ; and in the year 1850 the published returns show an addi tional mileage of 1,096 miles ; but this is not an actual increase in the mileage opened during the year, for it includes the length of several lines open for traffic prior to 1850 ; but the traffic returns were not published until 1850 ; the same observation will apply to the mileage of 1849, but to a less extent. The ag gregate length of new railway opened during 1850 in the United Kingdom is nearly 590 miles, including 79 miles of the Great Northern trunk line. The average traffic receipts per mile show the effect of opening within the past four years so many miles of branch and competing lines of railway. During the year 1842 the gross traffic receipts averaged 3,1181. per mile ; in 1843, 3,085/. ; in 1844, 3,278/. ; in 1845, 3.4691. ; in 1846, 2,305/. ; in 1847, 2,870/. ; in 1848, 2,556/.; in 1849, 2,3021. ; and in 1850, 2,247/. This shows a falling off in the traffic per mile during four years of more than 30 per cent.; but fortunately during the past year the receipts per mile are not much under those of 1849. The reduc tion in the receipts per mile would be a matter of no great consequence, provided the average cost of con structing the railways was proportionably reduced, say in the same ratio of the traffic per mile, from 33,0001. to 22,0001. per mile, and so on in like man ner with every additional mile added to the system. Unfortunately this not the case, as the following will show :-In 1842 the cost of the railways in operation averaged 34,6901. per mile ; in 1843, 36,360/. ; in 1844, 35,670/. ; in 1845, 35,070/. ; in 1846, 31,8601. ; in 1847, 31,700/.; in 1848, 34,2341. ; in 1849, 35,214/. ; and in 1850, 35,229/. A comparison of the average cost per mile in 1845 of 35,0701., when there were only 2,040 miles of railway open, with the ave rage cost in 1850 of 35,2291., when there were 6,257 miles open, shows that an increase in the cost per mile has taken place, notwithstanding that 4,217 miles of additional railways and branch railways have been constructed. The increase, instead of a con siderable decrease in the average cost per mile, is a very alarming feature in railway statistics, because it shows clearly that the continued additions to the capital accounts of old and completed lines of railway far outweigh all the professed advantages of con structing thousands of miles of new railways and branches of considerably less cost than the average expenditure per mile on the old trunk lines. It is very clear that, unless the capital accounts of the old and completed railways are closed as soon as possible, the average cost per mile will go on gradually in creasing year after year, and thus neutralize all the advantages which shareholders may reasonably expect from the progressive development of the traffic. The capital expended on the railways above re ferred to amounted in July, 1842, to 52,380,1001.; in 1843, to 57,635,000/.; in 1844, to 63,489,1001. ; in 1845, to 71,647,0001.; in 1846, 83,165,1001.; in 1847, 109,528,0001.; in 184 S, 148,200,000/. ; in 1849, 181,000,0001. ; and in 1850, 219,762,7001. The gross traffic returns per cent. on the capital expended amounted in 1842 to 8.29 per cent. ; in 1843, to 8.42 ; in 1844, to 8.84 ; in 1845, to 9.30 ; in 1846, to 9.25; in 1847, to 8.20 ; in 1848, t0 ‘ 6.78 ; in 1840, to 6.13; and in 1850, to 5.80 per cent. The return shows the absolute necessity of closing the capital account of railways. The expenditure on the new and old lines, the traffic returns of which are not published weekly, amounts to about 10,760,0001., making, with the 219,762,7001., a total of 230,522,700/. expended on 6,734 miles of railway, being at the rate of 34,200/. per mile. ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—We have elsewhere noticed the recurrence of one of those extensive floods which periodically overwhelm the lower parts of this city and the immediate vicinity. On Tuesday morning the non-arrival of the down London mail at its appointed time gave rise to apprehensions for its safety, particularly as the appearance of the suburbs of the city were a melancholy evidenoe of the violence of the storm which had raged overnight. After some hours of suspense the mail ar rived, when it was ascertained that an accident had occurred , but of a comparatively trifling description. A small water course in the neighbourhood of Shap, called Shap beck, runs parallel with the railway for some distance, and crosses and re-crosses the line. In dry weather it is but an in significant stream, and runs harmlessly along its ap pointed course, but, from the deluging showers that have recently fallen, it had acquired all the fury of a mountain torrent. Overflowing its natural boundaries, it laid a considerable portion of the line under water, bursting a strong iron culvert which passes under the embankment at Thrimby, and undermining a considerable portion of the earthwork. On the arrival of the luggage train, which leaves Carlisle shortly after ten r.m., at this spot the bridge gave way. Singularly enough the engine shot over the chasm, but the tender and some of the waggons went down with a crash. A scene of confusion ensued. A great quan tity of goods, such as gingham, cotton, &c., got loose and floated down the stream. The storm was raging with una bated fury at the time. On the following morning the down mail-train was delayed several hours, as above stated, in consequence of the engine plunging into the water on reach- Mg this spot, and extinguishing the fire. In fact every train was delayed for a time by the inundation. The mail bags were conveyed some distance on their route in a cart, and passengers transported safely beyond the dangerous vicinity in every obtainable vehicle. Fortunately no person sustained the slightest injury, and though the tender still remains in its awkward predicament, workmen are busily employed in clearinc , the line, which will be s oon p ut into a s tate of thorough repair.— Carlisle Patriot.

REPRESENTATION OF GLAMORGANSHIRE. --• The Earl of Dunraven (late Viscount Adare) has just issued an address to his constituents, dated from Adare Manor, •ounty Limerick, the 28th ult., in which he announces his resigna tion as member for that county, by the accepting of the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. The writ for the election of a new Member cannot be issued until the meeting of Parliament next month. Sir Arthur Robert Yere Brooke is shortly to be raised to the British Peerage, under the title of Viscount Newbridge. We are glad to find that Colonel Wetherell, the deputy Adjutant-General, has quite recovered from his recent severe indisposition, and has resumed for some days past his duties at the Horse Guards. THE NEW BRIDGE AT BATTERSEA. —During the last few days, from f 0 to 80 men have been busily employed in sawing timber, and preparing piles to sink in the river, preparatory to beginning operations for the erection of the ?,raposed and long-talked of suspension bridge between, Chelsea and Battersea. The bridge, which is to be con structed for carriage as well as passenger traffic, is to be commenced on the north side of the river, about 300 yards below the gardens in front of Chelsea Hospital, and is to cross the river in a direct line in front to the old Battersea Red house, so long known to and frequented by Cockney sports men. The Red •house is to be pulled down entirely, and an elegant approach is to be made on the site of it, and the gardens attached, to the southern end of the bridge. On the north, the bridge is to be approached by a road to be con structed, running in a direct line from the now notorious Chapel of St. Barnabas. Six or seven of the piles have been pile-driver, resting on a barge, is in active forcingd a down others. These piles are intended to pro wpteuectrtkd' the piers an on either side, while in the course of erection, from the velocity of the tide, and from the collisions of the barges, steamers, and other craft navigating the Thames. Battersea-fields are still in their former ungainly state; not a spade has as yet been put in the ground to make the new park, arid the only appearance of alteration which can be seen is, that of a new bank in course of being raised by the Water Works Company. It is to be hoped that the Com missioners will be enabled to commence the making of the park without delay, for until it is finished the bridge, when erected, will be of little advantage.
