The re-sale of Ford Abbey estate next Thursday will
insure Mr. George Robins a famous audience at the Auction
Mart. The former defaulter will come under the lash of
eur friend of the hammer; bat it is generally believed the
monastery was very badly sold, and that at least ten thou-
sand guineas will be the increased result at the second sale.
If the Catholic body, who are represented as being upon the
qui vine to possess it, are in right earnest it should realise at
least 80,000 guineas, and then be a bargain; as it is, the sale
is by the trustees directed to be peremptory.
THE RECORDERSHIP or Burs Tor.. We understand
that Mr. Berkeley has written to Mr. Cockburn (who is a
candidate for the Recordership of Bristol), promising to use
his influence on behalf, of that gentleman with Government.
Mr. Crowder is also spoken of; and we have heard that Mr.
Joseph Grace Smith is likewise an aspirant for the post. It
is said that Mr. Romilly may have it if he pleases ; it is, we
may say, in the gift of Sir George Grey, to whom Mr.
Romilly is related. His father, Sir Samuel Romilly, was
once Recorder of Bristol. It is a berth not to be slighted—
about 6001. a year—for some fourteen days' attendance out
of the three hundred and sixty-five.—Bristol Times.—[The
appointment is vacant by the death of Sir C. Wetherell.]
COMPLETE STOPPAGE OF WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—
Yesterday, notwithstanding the many repairs and doctorings
which this venerable structure has undergone, not only in
carriage but foot way, it was found really necessary for future
safety of lives to stop up one side of the foot passage, and it
is expected that in another forty-eight hours the opposite
side will be placed in the same state. The imperfections of
the first five arches from the Surrey side cause this step,
which, of course will prove very ineonvenient to the trades-
men situated in the Westminster-road. It is expected that,
as far as foot-passengers are concerned, arrangements will be
made by the Charing-cross-bridge Company, but of which
nothing was definitively settled yesterday.
LORD STANLEY.—Lord Stanley arrived at Douglas'
