MR. WOODIN, we observe, is now starring it at
Plymouth.
EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS have just now been
produced by Mr. Mayan, of the late Lord Mayor (now,
once more, simply Alderman Hale), and of his successor,
the Right Hon. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, the present
Lord Mayor of London. They are both admirable as like-
nesses of these two great city magnates, each of them being
arrayed in his robes of office. If we could but have had
photographic likenesses such as these of some of their
lordships' historical predecessors—Sir Thomas Gresham,
for instance, or better still,•Sir Richard Whittington !
FAILURE OF THE GREAT LOW-WATER BASIN AT
BIRKENHEAD.—This failure has led the Mersey
Dock Board to initiate a new plan of dock works at Bir-
kenhead, and it was yesterday resolved to promote a bill to
close the Woodside Basin, to convert the Low-water Basin
into a wet dock, and to excavate the foreshore at the
northern entrances, Birkenhead. The alterations in the
basins are estimated to cost £167,000. What the excava-
tions will cost it is impossible at present to estimate, as the
foreshore at 14ft. depth comes upon solid rock, and the last
bill obtained by the board provided for a depth of 17ft.
It is hoped, however, that some modification of the pre-
vious act may be obtained as to depth, and thus an enor-
mous expense avoided.

GOOD CONDUCT BADGES FOR TIIE POLICE.—The
Bath Watch Committee recently decided that they would
grant badges to the police for length of service and good
conduct, and on Wednesday 11 of the men received the dis-
tinction, which consists of a silver lace stripe on the right
arm. The mayor and several members of the council,
preceded by the city maces, wont in procession to the sta-
tion from the Guildhall, the police force accompanying
them. There was a good number of the public present to
witness the proceedins, which was conducted by the
mayor,
