LONDON-BRIDGE —On Wednesday afternoon,
at low water, the Surveyors appointed by the City surveyed the
depth of the River from the present Bridge to Old Swan Stairs,
between which two places, and 170 feet from the present
Bridge, the contemplated structure will be erected. They ex-
tended a rope across the whole of the River at Old Swan Stairs,
and another from the point of one of the starlings of the centre
arch to the point of the other starling; a third rope was fas-
tened to the middle of each of the two first ropes, and was di-
vided into a scale, having every twelve feet made conspicuous
by a piece of red cloth. The Surveyors measured the depth of
water in the centre of the River, from the commencement of
the rope at Old Swan Stairs to the point of the starlings of the
centre arch, and back again. The following is a correct state-
ment of the depth of the River at low water-mark : _

Sir ANDREW HALIDAY, who attended the Duke and
Duchess of CLARENCE on their last tour into Germany, and
who had prepared to accompany them on their meditated ex-
cursion into that country, has had the misfortune to break his
leg, and is at present with their Royal Highnesses at Walmer
Castle. A young Scotch Physician has been in consequence
appointed in his stead. The Royal Party go from Walmer to
Antwerp, and from thence up the Rhine to Frankfort. They
intend to continue some time with the Princess ELIZABETH
of HESSE HOMBURG, and afterwards go to Stutgart, to
remain during the Winter with the Queen Dowager of WUR.
TEMBURG.

As the soi.disant Princess of CUMBERLAND was
about to proceed to Doctors' Commons on Wed-
nesday, to be present at the decision of Sir JOHN
NICIIOLL on his late MAJESTY'S Will, she was
removed, by a writ of Habeas Corpus, to the
King's Bench, in the rules of which she is now
placed.
The Hon. Sir EDWARD PAGET and Lady HAR-
RIET arrived at Ceylon on the Ist of February,
on board the Glasgow frigate ; and on the fol-
lowing morning Lady HARRIET was safely deli-
vered of a daughter.
