Completion of the Blackfriars Railway
Bridge,

THE FIRST RAILWAY TRAIN INTO THE CITY
OF LONDON.
Yesterday some of the directors of the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway, consisting of Lord Hillis, deputy.
chairman, Sir Cusack Roney, and Mr Cobb, accompanied
by Mr Forbes, general manager, Messrs Cubitt and Turner,
the engineers of the company, Sir M. Peto, and Messrs.
Betts and Crampton, the contractors for the works, and
other gentlemen, crossed over the Blackfriars Bridge of the
company, for the first time, in a train from the Blackfriars
Station to the intended new Ludgate Station.

The bridge and the engine were gaily decorated with
flags, and the numerous workmen engaged in the opera-
tions of the company cheered the train lustily during its

progress.

The bridge consists of four lines of railway, but it was
upon those on the western sido that the train ran upon this
occasion. These are finished. The others are laid, though
the;filling in is not quite so far advanced. Messrs Kennard
Brothers, of Crumlin Ironworks, near Newport, Monmouth-
shire, were the contractors ; and Mr Friend French, the
practical engineer. The bridge is 939 f. long, 56f. wide, and
the lattice girders at the sides and along the centre are Ist.
high. The total weight of the iron in this portion of the
bridge alone is 3,000 tons, and the exact number of rivets
fixed in it is 603,682. Three hundred men and boys have
been constantly employed on it from the 29th of January
last to the last lay of Septembez—a few days before the
time allowed by the contract. A new feature on this bridge
when altogether finished will be that along the tops of the
cross elliptical braces on both sides of the railway 20 lines
of telegraph wire on each side will be fixed, making 40 in
the width of the 56 feet, thus making a kind of curve over-
head, which will have a very pretty and unique appearance.
The party returned to the station at Black friars-road, and
Lord llarris, on behalf of the directors, expressed his satis-
faction to Mr Charles Watson and Mr Frederick Watson
(his son) at the very Efficient manner in which the con•
tractors have carried out their work.

It may surprise many to learn that this is the first rail-
way train that has entered the City of London, but such is
the fact, for although the Farringdon Station of the Metro-
lolimn Railway and the Fenchurch Station of the Black-
wall line are the City termini of those companies, they are
both situated outside the precincts of the City proper.

It is expected that the Ludgate Station of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company will be oiiened for traffic
to the public the latter end of next month.

PRESENTATION TO MISS CUSIDIAN.—The Scotia
on her last passage, came charged, emorg other
valuables, with a splendid album of oil and water colour
sketches, by American art!sts, presented to Miss Charlotte
Cushman, by the ladies of Philadelphia, as a token of re-
spect and admiration for her talent, but especially as their
recognition of the great servrce rendered by her to the cause
of the United States Sanitary Commission. This lady has
been sojourning for some weeks at Bowdon. This very
graceful tribvte has been valued, we understand, by art
critics in America, at £3OO. The commodore of the Scotia
was the ambassador of the ladies of Philadelphia, and the
bearer Qj this elegant complitneEt to Miss Cushman.

Clumber to present an address recently adopted 111
a public meeting of the inhabitants of Worksop'
Tie deputation was headed by the Rev. J. ApPle
ton, the vicar. The address, which was exquisiteli
illuminated on vellum, in the style of the 15th aro
tury, and enclosed in a pollard oak casket, viag
strongly expressive of the sympathy of the iababl'
tants on account of the long and painful illness
with which the Duke has been afflicted. It cones
eluded as follows :—" Moved by sentiments of the
.
high( at esteem of your Grace's public character, and
of affectionate regard for your social and moral
worth, we shall not cease to pray that it may please
the Giver of all Good to restore you to perfect
health, and that you may yet be permitted for marl
years to assist, by your great talents and matured
judgment, in promoting the prosperity of tblsi
neighbourhood and the people at large in wh°l
interests you have already sacrificed so much," Lord
Edward Clinton, in reply to the address, expresso'
himself deeply grateful to them and the subscriber°
to the address. On the occasion of his father's re'
turn to Clumber nothing could exceed the earnest
interest which was evidenced by the whole poculto
tion. He hoped the time would come (although °S
present it seemed hoping against hope) when hl°
father would be able to give expression to his feel'
ing of gratitude and regard for this unusual displei
of kindness. It was not only most gratifying r°
him, but to every member of his family. His lord'
ship then invited the deputation to a lunch, which,
was of a most recherche character, and was presided
over by his lordship. Before leaving Clamber'
Lord Edward presented each of the deputation With
a beautiful photograph of the noble duke.

A POCKET PICKED OF £2OO IN A MANCHESTER
BANK.—About noon on Tuesday a gen!leman who
was sent from a Manchester warehouse presented a cheque
for £2BO at the Union Bank, York-street. He asked for
£2OO in notes, and £BO in gold, Four £5O Bank of Eng-
land notes, which severally bore the following numbers,
were given to him-77,082, 75,930, 75,931, and 64,091.
He placed the notes in a bag in the outer pocket of his coat,
and proceeded to count the geld, but when he felt for the
cash-bag he found that it and its contents had been stolen.
The bank was crowded at the time, and the theft is SUP'
posed to have been committed by a well-dressed man via°
was near the counter, and who was obs,rved to leave the
bank about the time the robbery was committed,
MODEST BENEFICENCE.—On the opening, at a
committee meeting of University College Hospitals
on the sth inst., of the contribution boxes at the doors of
the hospital, there were found a sum of £7B odd in bank
notes and all the various coins of the realm, from pounds to
farthings; among them were four distinct gitts—one of
.£‘s, two of £5 each, and one of £2 10s. The committee
were also gratified by receiving notice from one of their
body, Professor Hare (exor and residuary devisee), of
vary considerable bequest in reversion, the amount not yet
ascertained, of the personal estate of the late Edward Yates,
Esq., who for some time past had been a subscriber of £2O
annually; on the other hand, it appeared that in order to
equalise the ordinary receipt and expenditure for the finan-
cial year, which would expire at the end of the month,
further contributions to the amount of £1,200 would be re'
quire&

THE YORKSHIRE POTATO CROP.—Now that the
corh harvest is out of the way farmers are attend•
ing to the potato crop. The statement from all the districts
agree in pronouncing the crop almost free from disease, but
owing to the dry weather during the period of growth the
root is small in size. Every description of potato is alike in
this respect. Just now, owing to a pressure of stocks on the
market, as is always usual during the lifting of the crop,
prices have slightly fallen, but so soon as this flush ispassed
the almost complete absence of turnip, carrot, and cabbage
crops will tend to restore previous rates. That potatoes
will be dear is thought certain ; indeed, the small refuse
now sell at better prices for pigs than could be obtained for
the best samples for table last spring.
ANATOMY IN THE EAST.—From the last general
report on public instruction in the Lower ProvinceS
of the Bengal Presidency, which has just reached Englan4
Dr Norman Chevers, the Principal of the Medical Collerfe,
states that the number of bodies dissected during the year
amounted to 1,112, an extraordinary fact when it is consi-
dered that only a few years ago a native gentleman lost caste
by touching a dead body. The total number of in and out
door patients who receive' relief at the hospital and in its
dispensaries during the year amounted to 30,700, exclusive
of the very large number treated in the Eye Infirmary. In
the European general wards there occurred 184 deaths, or
8.69 to the treated ; in the native wards there were 664.
deaths, being 28.33 to the treated, Dr Chevers concludes
his interesting report by stating that in March last lais
Highness the Maharajah of Jyepore, a native prince of treat
enlightenment, who is very earnest in advancing fuddles'
education in his own state, after having visited the college,
was so pleased with it that he munificently presented the
sum of 1,000 rupees to be devoted to any purpose the mana-
gers of the institution may determine.

MONUMENT TO A PIP.—.II Up to the present time,'
says the Europe, of Frankfort, "no monument that
we are aware of had ever been erected to the memory of a
pig. The town of Luneburg, in Hanover, has wished to
fill up that blank, and at the Hotel do Ville in that town
there is to be seen a kind of mausoleum to the memory of a.
member of the swinish race In the interior of the euraro.ed
morativo structure is to be seen a glass case, inclosing
ham still in good preservation. A slab of black ruarblo
attracts the eye of visitors, who find thereon the following
inscription in Latin engraved in letters of gold passer.-
by, contemplate here the mortal remains of the pig which
acquired for itself imperishable glory by the discovery of
the salt springs of Luneburg.' "
Mr King, of Avignon, says a French paper, lately
lost a portfolio containing 100,000 f. A poor man, a father
of a large family, picked it up, and returned it to him. Mr

---
King offered him, as reward, a life annuity of 300 f. or
3,0001. dawn. The man chose the latter, and invested it in►

a email estate, sufficient for his and his famiiy's support.
