THE STEPHENSON MONUMENT.—Yesterday was
set apart in Newcastle as a holyday for the inauguration of
a monument to the late George Stephenson, which has been
erected opposite to the Central Railway Station. It consists
of a colossal statute of the great engineer, who is represented
with a scroll in his left hand and a Northumberland plaid
thrown over his shoulder. The height of the figure is lift.
Subsidiary figures represent the story of Stephenson's life.
The procession from the Town-hall took half an hour to
pass any given point, and there were 10,000 persons in it, a
greater number of skilled artisans than was ever assembled
together in the town on any previous occasion. The in-
augural proceedings took place in the presence of 701.00
people, almost every person of eminence connected with
the trade of the north being present.

THE KENSINGTON PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIES
AND THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—Last night, at
the ordinary meeting of the Kensington Vestry, Mr.
Churchwarden Greenway in the chair, and at which there
were thirty other members present, the important question
of rating the contractors to the International Exhibi-
tion was again considered. Several additional assess-
ments to the vestry's rates were made, and by a resolution
proposed by Mr. Brown, in the absence of any liti-
gation, were definitively fixed. The following are the
names of the contractors and the respective sums at
which they have been assessed :—Mr. J. R. Jennings,
for premises called "the retiring rooms," £900; the London
Stereoscopic Company, £1,790 ; Messrs. Dancer, £225 ; the
Electric and International Company, £9O; Messrs. J. and
R. Purches, £135; Messrs. Masonuet, £135; Messrs. Up-
thorn, £135; Messrs. Day and Son, £450; and Messrs. A..
Spielmann and Co., £225. It may be stated that a question
was asked why all the exhibitors had not been assessed in
a siroi:ar way. Mr. Green, the vestry clerk, replied that
counsel's opinion upon that piont had been taken, but up
to the present time decisive measures had only been taken
with respect to those persons who had entered into a legiti-
mate contract. The vestry's rates were ordered to be
amended in accordance with the above.mentioned sums.

ALLEGED CHILD-MURDER AT
BLAcKri'
ans.BRIDG.- E-Yesterday morning a
report was
currently
circulated in the city, that about nine o'clock the
Pr
night a young woman was seen to mount the
parapet evious of Blackfriars-bridge with an infant in her arms,
andtup into the river, and that both had been carried
away by the tide which was running strong at the time.
yesterday afternoon a Waterman belonging to Chelsea, in
passing along the river, discovered near the piers of Black-
friars-bridge the body of a female, apparently about 25
years of age, dressed in a light cotton gown, white petti-
coat, brown stockings, and side laced-up boots. No infant
was however found, and whether the deceased was the
female who jumped into the river is unknown. If she was
the person there seems some doubt as to whether the passers-
by might not have mistaken a bundle of clothes for a child.
The body of the unfortunate woman has been removed to
the dead-house in Ireland-yard, Blackfriars, to be identi-
fied, and to await a coroner's inquest, information having
been sent to Mr. Payne, the coroner for the City and
Southwark.

The Frankfort advices mention that the failure of
Messrs. Liendheim, of Vienna, has been followed by the
stoppage of the house of Anton Oswald, at Prague, with
liabilities for LBO,OOO. These events caused a great scarcity
of money on the Vienna Bourse, as large remittances had
to be made to the provincial towns and to the branch banks
to support the traders whose credit was likely to be impaired
by them. Hence bills on London were freely sold, this
being the most immediate resource, and the exchange ac-
cordingly declined to a quotation lower than at any pre-
vious time during the past two years.
