pairing Blackfriars-bridge) were
Leaving a balance in band on December

THE BYDENHAM PALACE.—The first rib of the
greet trtnsept is to be raised on the 30th inst. ; and the
event will be celebrated by a dinner to be given by the
directors to the principal artists and contractors on the
following day. When it is remembered that the transept
of the Exhibition building in Hyde-park was 150 feet in
' height, and its semi-cylindrical roof 80 feet in span,
whereas the height of the great transept at Sydeobam is
200 feet, and the span of the ribs 120 feet, it can scarcely be
wondered at that thepperation of the 30th last. is anticipated
with much interest. The Budder.
