Taman Eusarreux.er.—Yeaterday, on the reassiimblisig •
of the committee, Mr. M'Cleao, C.E., was further • ex-
amined as to details of construction. His gross esti-
mate for constructing the embankment, including ,
compensation sod contingencies, is 1,500,0001. The
wet of the proposed approaches to the embankment he
estimates at 80,0001., and of the new streets between the
embankment and the Mansion-house at 500,0001. Mr. J.
Culat, the hydraulic engineer, was examined in corrobo-

amined upon the features of his plan for a solid embank-

arches, being the plan recommended by the royal commis-

Willeume had it chained up. Some time after the father of
the children tune to me the deg, for the purpose of learn-

M. Wilkunso assured him that the dog was quite wail, and,
to prove his confides.* he went to the kennel and patted it.
While au doing, however, the dog bit him and drew blood.
The wound was atones deeply cauterised, sod no ill effects
