MONUMENT TO THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDIRRY.
—To a liberal contemporary belongs the credit of having
first broached the subject of a monument to the late
Lord Londonderry, than whom no man, whether judged
from a local or national point of view, is more worthy
of being held in lasting remembrance and honour. We
need not revert here to the numerous claims which
his lordship has upon the gratitude and affec•
tions of the people of this county ; but this much
we will say—that no man, whether living or
dead, has done more towards developing the re-
sources and extending the material prosperity of this,
the must important district in the north of England,
than the nobleman whose loss we have had so recently
to deplore. We are sat:sfied, therefore, that any pro-
position to perpetuate the presence amongst us of one
who, though dead, "still rules our spirits from his tomb,"
would meet with a very general concurrence in the
county of his adoption, and in this belief we shall be
glad to learn that zneans have been taken to promote
such a praiseworthy and creditable object. Seaham
Harbour has been suggested as the most appropriate
locale for such a memorial, but on this point, for obvi-
ous reasons, we shall forbear to offer any opinion at pre.
sent. —Durham Advertiser,
WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.— In the Gentleman's Magaziee
for 1750, a view of Westminster-bridge as then finished
is given, with a memorandum which is interesting: "The
first pile," it says, "was driven in 1733, and the whOl•
was finished and ready to be opened for use in
autumn 1747, when it• was discovered that the fifth
pier from Westminster side was sinking, and soon
after some stones fell out of the arch next to it.
It was necessary, therefore, to take off the arches
that rested on the pier, which was done with great
care by replacing centres under them, like those on
which they were turned. The sinking pier was thee
loaded with 12,000 ton of cannon And leaden weights, in
order to sink and settle it : this, and the deliberation
how to repair the defect took up above a year, but in
the summer of 1749, materials being ready, it was
set about and entirely finished for use, and opened
Nov. 17, 1750, at midnight, having been retarded
three years.• The pier that had failed was freed from
its burden by a secret arch, now not to be seen. This
structure is certainly a very great ornament to oar
metropolis. and will be looked on with pleasure or envy
by all foreigners. The surprising echo in the &retie!,

TROOPS FOR THE EAST.—It is not correct to say that
6,000 more troops have just been ordered to the East.
The mistake arises from the fact of the nine regiments
of cavalry and infantry, which we announced some three
or four weeks ago, as having been ordered for immediate
embarkation for Turkey, to reinforce the 30,000 troops
already under the command of Lord Raglan. Most of
these regiments have gone, or are on the point of going.
The cavalry (Scotch Greys, and 4th Light Dragoons),
will be incorporated into the divisions of Lord Cardigan
and Gen. Scarlett. The infantry regiments will form a
strong division under the commarei of General Sir Geo.
Cathcart, K.C.8., and Brigadiers Torres and Gold*
of the 57th Regiment. This division will prove a very
effective addition to our army in the East, which is by
this time fully provided with all the means of transfer
and of support in the face of the enemy.—Observer.

July 28.—The emigrant ship Lima, of Dundee, 349 tons.
M‘Gregor master, as reported by electric telegraph, put

in with her off the Lizard, and preceded her into this
port A medical gentleman, with assistance, imme-
diately went on board, and found all the crew affected
of the
malady cases he thought desperate. The cause
malady is attributed to the water which the w
drink. From her having but fifteen passenger

to carrying a surgeon. The passengers arenot suffering
so much as the crew, the water having been filtered be-
fore they partook of it, Free intercourse and communi-

THE RIFF PIRATES.
The Earl of HARD WICKE asked a question of the
Government respecting the -R?ff.l-pirafes, as to whether
there could not be sotre—ireitiis

atrocities committed by these pirates. He thought
there should be a cruiser constantly on that coast for
the protection of our trade.
The Earl of CLARENDON said this subject had
• been, for a long time under the consideration of the Go-
vernment, and they had applied to the Emperor of Mo-
rocco to put down those pirates, but that potentate
declared his inability to do so. There was, however, a
vessel sent out to Gibraltar by the Government for that
special purpose.
