BLACKFRIAR'S-BRIDGE.—The paving of this
costly bridge is now nearly completed, and a truly beau-
tiful and substantial piece of read pavement it is. The
fine broad sweep of the footway at either end is highly
tasteful and creditable to the architects, and when tho-
roughly completed it will be many years ere any further
repairs arc required. Of course the cost has been ex-
ceedingly heavy, and the public inc9nrenience very great.
