CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—Ie has been decided to
utilize the space the recent fire formed in Paternoster-row,
by opening a street into it from St. Panl's-churchyard. To
effect this long desired improvement, it will be necessary to
widen the narrow and inconvenient thoroughfare of Lon-
don House-yard, and the inhabitants of the locality have
been served with notices that their tenements will be re-
quired for the proposed alteration. Another excellent plan
is projected to connect the Thames embankment at Black-
friars-bridge with a new street, proceeding east from Earl-
street, to New Earl-street, Cannon-street West, joining
Cannon-street at the corner of Great Trinity-lane. This
work will direct the traffic from Cheapside, and bring Can-
non-street, and Cannon-street West, into use.

Intelligence has been received of the missing
steamer Royal Bride, which sailed from Cardiff for New
York on the 18th of November last. She was spoken with
on the Gth of last month by the ship Conqueror, in lat. 36,
long. 61, all well. The premium of insurance upon her at
Lloyd's had reached to 50 guineas.

It is understood that a letter has been addressed
to Lord Russell by the Committee of the General Ship-
owners' Society, urgently pressing that the opportunity
afforded by the negotiations which are reported to be pend-
ing with the Belgian Govornment for a commercial treaty
between Great Britain and Belgium, should not be allowed
to pass without strenuous efforts being made for the aboli-
tion of the Scheldt dues,

The advices from the River Plate to-day show
that the effectual pacification of the Argentine Republic,
under the auspices of Buenos Ayres, is.now considered
certain, Almost all the interior provinces have declared in
favour of the new policy, and the loss of power and prestige
on the part of General Urquiza is said to have been so com-
plete that he is likely to retire from public life and perhaps
to leave the country.

The bar silver by the Mexican packet has been
disposed of at 61/d. per ounce, being an advance of id. on
the price realised for tho amount brought by the last
steamer. During the greater part of last week there were
hardly any transactions in silver, but Saturday and yester.
day a large amount of business for the Bombay mail has
been done at the present rate and at 611. The dollars are
not yet sold.

LIVERPOOL SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE HARTLEY
COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—His Worship the Mayor (Mr. R.
Hutchison) yesterday forwarded an additional remittance
of £l,OOO to the local committee, which, with the previous
remittance, makes the sum of £2,500 which has been trans-
mitted from Liverpool for the benefit of the surviving suf-
ferers.

DEATH OF STIERIFP LOGAN.—The Edinburgh
papers mention the death of Mr. Alexander Steward Logan,
Scotch advocate, and sheriff of Forfarshire, in his 51st year.
He was called to the bar in 1835, and was more remarkable
for his humour than for his legal attainments. He was a
thorough Whig, and
.was rewarded by his party some
years ago with a sheriffdom, which is now vacant by hie,
death.
