Wasrmurernt New BRIM/E.—Mr. Page the
engineer to her Majority's Commissioners of Worlu and
Buildiap, under whose immediate superintendence the new
bridgiiiirbeing constructed, has devised a plan by which the
old may be pulled down without Inconvenience to
the pis lc traffic, to effect which • large body of workmen
are engaged in ooruitructing a temporary wooden bridge for
foot passengers only, to the eastward of the old bridge.
The centre portion has already been completed, and the
piles fur its extension to the Lambeth side are being
driven. Thin foot-bridge will be approached from the re.
cease. on the Surrey and Middlesex side, and when com-
pleted the demolition of the old bridge will be pemoeeded
with rapidly. The site of the extended to the
Dew bridge from the Middlesex side is being cleared by the
purchasers of the materials of those houses in Bridge-street
recently sold, it being the intention of the oommusioners to
alletthe approach with the lout possible delay.
ewirruen Ausar.—We believe we have already
announced that a sale of this property will take place at
the Auction Mart in London on the 13th of June. On the
me of its transfer to strange hands we would call the
attention of all who take an interest in the matter to an
able sketch of the abbey ruins, demean., and pleasure
pentads- and particularly of the numerous objects in the
noble mansion associated with the memory of Lord
boon which appears it the Nottinghamshire Guar-
dian of Thursday last, under the title of a "pity-image
to Homestead Abbey," and which occupies a page al that
journal. In taking leave of the old abbey, the writer con-
cludes by givingthe following facto gleaned from the part&
culius of isle :—" The abbey, park, gardens, pleasure
grounds, shrubberies, and offices, cover an area of
836 a. 3r. Ilp. ; woods and plantations within the park,
196 a. 3r. lip. ' • lakes and ponds within the perk, 47a.
3r. 13p. ; woods and plantations without the peek, 628 a.
Or. Bp. ; cottages, yards, gardens, and keepers' houses, Ba.
Ir. 15p. ; twelve farms and a quarry, 1,709 a. Or. 27p.—otal,
3,22t5 3r. Ip. The total annual outtoings, for land-tax
and other charges, amount to only 591. Os. 10d. Among
the undeveloped resources of this great property,
it niay be mentioned that, within • line co
south of one of the farms called "The Hays,"
which, proceed i lig northward, describes a half
circle, terminating on the cast side of the river Leen,
beyond the Wear Mille Farm, there le said to be valuable
coal at the depth of about 112 yard; the quantity being
about 700 acres. A statement like thin, which holds out
the prospect of a " black diamond" El Drado, I. well
worthy the attention of the capitalist. With respect to
the tenants—some of whom can refer to the occupancy of
the farms by their families for many generations-- it may
be truly said that they are substantial, intelligent, and im-
proving aviculturists, who seem determined to keep abreast
et these goes-had times. The sale • 111 the 13th of June
will only dispose of the abbey, illusion, and estate, with
possibly certain articles in the mansion at a valuation. We
understand it ham not yet been determined what course is
to he pursued with reference to the great majority of the
contents of the building."
ALLZORD KIDNAPPING OF • SAILOR. —At the
Liverpool Police Court yesterday (Wednesday) Captain
Seevey, of the American ship Wernouth,jwas charged with
kidnapping one of the sailors of her 1,64.4?• ship
Majestic. The sailor said that while on shore, re Wye, be
became intoxicated, and remembered nothiag until he
found himself on board the Weymouth in • bath. He told
thecaptain that be belonged to the Majestic, but the captain
took no notice. Captain Scevey, in his defence, said that
he shipped the 311&11 in the ordinary way, and that he
an entire day upon the ship without making any
remark. This was oorrohurated by the pilot on beard. The
mins was dismissed.

FINE ARTS.

PICTURES BY ROSA BONREUR.
Five &turas, by the painter of the famous
"Horse Fair," have been thought sufficient attrac-
tion to form a separate exhibition at the "German
Gallery," New Bond-street, in a room adjoining the
exhibition of Holman Hunt's great picture of the
" Finding the Saviour in the Temple." They are en-
titled "Soenes in Scotland Spain, andFranee." The
first is " A Scottish Raid. 4 A herd of our savage-
looking hardy northern cattle and a drove of sheep
(or rather rams principally), the spoils of a night
foray, are being goaded in hot haste over a .!..ed
unfrequented tract of moorland. ThepuzaW in-
quiring look of a bull in the foreground sniffing the ,
morning air with his wet nose, and drawn up as if
to dispute the liberties taken with him, is • fine
study of animal character. The other foaming and
exhausted animals are almost equally well charac-
terised, and the rough textures of their coats
perfectly rendered. There is a regrettable want of
finish, however, in the Highlanders, and some other
portions. " Spanish Bouricairos," or asses, cross-
ing the Pyrenees, is the beet painting in the present
exhibition. The pack-laden asses pick their way
over the wretched primitive road with the quiet
surefootednees of these humblebut useful creatures;
their sly, wily, patient eyes twinkle ; their bells
jingle ; and their quaint tasselled trappings add to
the native drollery of their appearance. Their
lazy drivers, or rather leaders, beguile the long
journey with a song, and it is pretty plain which is
and which tenor. The snow-capped Pyrenees
rise in the background, a moor lies on the right,
and a few patches of sparse, scrubby, bristling
vegetation diversify the foreground. The fore-
shortening of the donkeys is singularly success-
ful. There is an unusual sunniness, without
much forcing of the shadows, in this picture.
" Denizens of the Highlands " is an effective re-
presentation of three Ryloes, with startled look
and fierce eyes, looming out of a Scotch mist.
"A Highland Shepherd is a little picture of a
shepherd leading his flock through a pleasant
pasturage. The great charm of all these works is
their perfect naturalness and entire freedom from
any taint of conventionalism. The last picture is
a French huntsman on a spirited hack, superin-
tending the oonveyance, in a sort of cart or "trap,"
of the hounds to cover. This a well-finished picture
—the different actions of the horses, according to
their breed, very skilfully discriminated.
