ME. CHARLES DICKENS.—The committee of the
Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution have
presented an address to Mr. Charles Dickens, congratulat-
ing him upon his recent escape from an accident while
travelling by railway.

The Nord, in speaking of the manner in which
Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur is to wear the Cross of the
Legion of Honour, says :—" She will do as all the ladies
honoured with the ribands of the numerous orders for
females, that is, wear it on the left of the corsage of their
dress, near the shoulder. Austria has one order for ladies,
that of the Starred Cross, the most distinguished of all,
founded by the Empress Eleanor in 1668. Bavaria four—
those of St. Elizabeth, Theresa, St. Anne of Munich, and
St. Anne of Wurzburg, admission to the three last being
obtained on giving proofs of nobility. Spain has two—
those of Maria Louisa and Isabella 11., the latter of which
comprises only four French ladies—the Empress, the
Duchess do Valence, nee Tascher, the Duchess de Bassane,
and Madame Barrot. Portugal possesses one, that of St.
Elizabeth. Prussia two—the Swan, created in 1441 and
re-established in 1843, and the Louisa, founded in 1814.
Russia, that of St. Catherine only and Mexico one, the
San Carlos." - • - •

Progress of the Thames Embankment from

Waterloo-bridge to the Temple.

This portion of that truly national work, the em-
bankment of the river Thames on the northern side,
is rapidly progressing, the following being a descrip-
tion of the works up to yesterday (Thursday). The
river wall, for a length of 250 ft., is now completed
to the level of the roadway, together with the low
level sewer and sub-way. In the Temple pier works
(500 ft. in length) the whole of the foundations are
built, and the lower courses of granite bedded to-
gether with the penstock chambers and flushing
culverts. The massive blocks of granite forming,
the pedes,tals of the pier stand out with great bold-
ness, and this part of the works especially presents
a most imposing appearance. The dam, for a dis-
tance of about 1,000 ft., opposite Somerset House, is
now nearly completed ; and extensive preparations
are making for forming the foundations, prior to
erecting the river wall. The piling in the ends of
the cofferdams opposite Arundel-street and the
Temple Gardens are now being removed to allow
the low level sewer to be connected behind the
Temple landing stairs ; and it is expected that
within a fortnight the whole of the cofferdam, to •the
extent of the " No. 2 Contract," will be completed,
thereby entirely excluding from the works the tidal
waters of the river for a distance of 1,900 ft. Up-
wards oftoo men are daily employed upon this por-
tion of the embankment.
