DANGEROUS STATE OF BATTERSEA-
BRIDGE.-At a Court of Conservancy held before the Lord
Mayor and other City Authorities, at the Toen-hall, South-
wark, on Saturday, after swearing in the Jury for the Conser-
vancy of the Sprrey side of the Thames, the Recorder, after
alluding to the antiquity of his office, and its duty in the pre-
vention of obstructtoni in the Thames, bitterly complained of
the loss of life, which had in many cases attended steam com-
munication. But few weeks had elapsed since a serious acci-
dent had occurred at Battersea-bridge, which was proved, upon
an inquiry being instituted before a Coroner's Jury, to have
originated from the manner in which Battersea-bridge was
built, the obstructions from the starlings, and the lowness of the
arches at high water, preventing a vessel of any size going
through any but the centre arch. At Rackiriar's-bridge, also,
a very considerable nuisance existed, arising from a number of
barges being moored so closely to the arches as to prevent a free
passage up and down the river. The Jury subsequently pro-
ceeded up the river in the city barge, to personally view these
nuisances, so as to enable them to make a presentation at the
next Court day on the subject. From the remarks of the Re-
corder, it is expected that Battersea-bridge will be pulled
down. and a new one erected in its place. _

WATERLOO DAY —A grand review will take
place in Hyde Park on Friday next, in commemoration of the
battle of Waterloo. 'I he 11th, or Prince Albert's Hussars, are
coming up from Hounslow, to assist at the spectacle; and it is
expected to be the most splendid review which has been wit-
nessed for some years past.
Sunday next, the 20th instant, is the anniver-
versary of the accession of our beloved Queen Victoria, and
and the following day the anniversary of the proclamation.
About eight o'clock, last night, a riot of a dis-
graceful kind took place in the Gallowgate, which, for
a time seriously endangered the . peace of the city. A
soldier having been guilty of disorderly conduct, a police-
man took him into custody ; but no sooner was he in
charge, than a number of his companions, and some
labourers, came to the rescue, while the policeman was
joined by a brother officer, and a substitute. Blows were
severely struck by the soldiers and labourers, and while
the policeman was down, he received a severe wound be-
low the eye from a kick, and the substitute was injured
to the effusion of his blood. That which makes the mat-
ter worse is, that the soldiers were headed by a Sergeant,
and tiley eventually succeeded in deforcing the officers
and liberating the prisoner. All, or the greater part of
the men who acted the principal part in this affray,
belong„ we believe, to the 29th Regiment, now in the
Infantry B.trracks, and we learn that they were subse-
sequently confined in the guard-house, from which they
will likely be' taken this morning to the Police-court.—
