PROPOSED BRIDGE ACROSS THEMERSEY.--We un
derstand that a plan is likely to be brought bef ore Par

liament next Session for building a bridge across the river
Mersey, at a point two or three miles above the town of
Liverpool. This bridge, we are told, it is proposed to con-
struct with a railway, a carriage road, and footways for pas-
sengers. It is stated that it will be of sufficient height to
enable large vessels to sail under it, and that it will be placed
so far above the docks, harbour, and the Sloyne as to offer
no obstacle to the trade and commerce of the port. The
author of the plan is Mr. Brunlees. It is proposed to con-
nect the bridge across the Mersey with the public streets
of Liverpool and Birkenhead ; and to connect the rail-
way with the central station which is now in course of
construction in Liverpool, and which is to be formed at the
bottom of Bold-street and Ranelagh-street at one end, and
at the other with the railways which run to the centre of
the town of Birkenhead, and to the great docks building
there. The proposed bridge would be connected with the
dock railway running along the whole line of the Liverpool
docks, and would also be connected with every part of the
docks at Birkenhead by means of the railway which sur-
rounds those docks. The proposed nfrw bridge would give
every railway entering the port, either at Liverpool or
Birkenhead, the power of reaching every dock and almost
every warehouse on both sides of the river. We understand
that it is the wish and intention of the promoters of the
proposed bridge and railway that it should be open on equal
and moderate terms to all railways that either now enter
the port at Liverpool or at Birkenhead, or that may enter
it at any future time.—Liverpool 2lfercury.
TRADE IN CARDIFF.—During the month of Octo-
ber the exports of coal from this port reached 123,893
tons against 142,564 tons in the previous month, and 120,713
tons in the corresponding month of last year. Coastwise
the shipments were 71,513 tons, as compared with 73,670
tons in the previous month, and 75,015 tons in October,
1864. The export returns show that there was an average
inquiry for steam coal during the month, the foreign coaling
stations especially taking large quantities, and there was
cleared for Montevideo alone no less than 10,586 tons. The
increase in the coasting shipments was attributable to a good
demand for house qualities. 11,250 tons of iron were ex-
ported as compared with 17,675 tons in the previous month,
and the exports of patent fuel reached 4,432 tons, against
5,313 tons in September. Of the iron exported, Alexandria
took 3,200 tons, Cronstadt and St. Petersburg 3,200 tons,
Catania 2,000 tons, Lisbon 2,315 tons, and New York and
Baltimore 2,000 tons. Italy was also a considerable customer
for iron. The falling off in the shipments to America was
not caused by any decrease in the demand. The returns for
the other South Wales ports have already been published.

THE MAROONS.—This wonderful and loyal people
(the aborigines of Jamaica) have, under Colonel
A. G. Fyfe, who led them in the last rebellion, turned
out for the Government to clear the mountains of St.
Thomas in the East of the rebels who seek shelter in the
natural wildness of their strongholds. Their appearance,
decorated with their well-known " war paint," covered
with bushes and twigs of the lignum vita), struck terror
into the hearts of the rebels at Portland and St. Thomas
in the East. Whore they lay down nothing was dis-
cernible of their bodies—nothing but the living bush that
covered them. In this way they march without observa-
tion, and in this way they spring like tigers upon their
prey, who, seeing nothing but a forest of bush, imagine
themselves secure. They are already scouring the country
for rebels, dragging them from their concealment, and
exterminating them wherever they have been found. Over
one hundred rebels are reported to have been shot by the
Maroons in this mission already. At an execution of the
rebels, and while the dead bodies were hanging as a public
example, the Maroons (we are informed by Colonel Hunt)
assembled round the gallows, where they had a war dance,
the savage wildness of which was truly grand.—Kingston
Gleaner.
Miss A. PATTL—A Florence letter of the Bth
says :—" Adelina Patti has arrived here. Never has the
appearance of an artiste in this cityproduced a greater sen-
sation. All thoughts of Rome and Venice are for the mo-
ment forgotten, and people rush in crowds to the Pagliano
Theatre, where the office for tickets was literally besieged.
The night after her arrival the choral societies assembled
before the hotel windows and executed a serenade in her
honour. She will make her first appearance on the even-
ing of the llth."—Galignani.
AMERICAN PAINTINGS.--James McHenry, besides
purchasing Blerstadt's " Rocky Mountains" for $25,000,
will also take with him to England other specimens of
American art. Several of the English party have bought
pictures of our painters. Huntington's painting, "The
Republican Court," purchased for $25,000 is to be engraved
and published in this city by Mr. Emil Seitz. The names
of several subscribers for "artists' proofs" have already
been handed in. Sir Morton Peto, James M‘Henry' the
Tunis Ambassador, and Henry Ward Beecher are among
the number.—Nero York Home Journal. __

The Bank of Turkey, requiring a capital of
£1,000,000 in shares of £5O, has been put forth, the
first issue to consist of 10,000 shares. The pros-
pectus states that the company is formed at the ex-
press solicitation of merchants and others engaged
in trading and monetary operations in the Ottoman
Empire, for the purpose of extending to the mer-
cantile community of Turkey that legitimate aid,
which, in more favoured countries, is rendered to

commerce by well-conducted banking institutions.
The directors of the Panama, New Zealand, and
Australian Mail Company have issued a report for
the six months ending 30th June. It states that
the available net balance of profits is £15,807, and
recommending a dividend of 5 per cent. free of in-
come tax, which will leave £8,507 towards the ap-
propriations requisite for repair and depreciation
when the accounts are made up.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week aro generally satisfactory.
Although business at Manchester has been very
dull, and prices of both cloths and yarns have
shown a downward tendency, the woollen troadtnteintohgfe.
