GREENWICH WATER3IEN'S PIER.
At an early hour yesterday morning, a number of persons
assembled at Garden-stairs, Greenwich, to witness the pro-
ceedings taken by Mr. Saunders, the water-bailiff, in remov-
ing and taking forcible possession of the Watermen's float-
ing pier.
The proceedings, it appears, arose out of a summons issued
in October last to William Watkins, and 16 others, for plac •
ing certain barges in the Thames, so as to cause an obstruc-
tion. The question had been adjourned from time to time,
had been argued by counsel, and ultimately referred to the
navigation committee.
On Saturday last, Mr. M. Saunders, the water-bailiff,
caused notices to be served on the defendants, that he should
on Tuesday, (yesterday) attend and take steps to remove the
' pier to the Commercial Docks.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the watermen
were in attendance at Garden Stairs, awaiting the arrival
of the water-bailiff. Precisely at seven o'clock the St.
'Michael steam tug, and the Peacock lighter, brought to
opposite the Salutation Tavern. At this time Mr. Malls-
leux, the superintendent of the R division of police,
was on the spot with a few men under his orders,
having a large body in reserve at the station-
house
in case of an outbreak, which was anticipated. On
the water, a number of police galleys followed the steam-
tug, and kept at hand in case their services were needed.
The houses in front of the river were fully occupied by per-
sons expecting to see force opposed to the removal of the
pier. Such, however, was not the case, and a dozen of the
pierowners let go their chains and anchors and removed the
stages, when the floating pier drifted with the tide upon the
dummies and steam-boats lying in front. The water-bailiff
placed a rope from the tug and drew them outside. Those
on board the monkey barge, believing they were being taken
to the Commercial Dock, one of their number with a hatchet
cut the hawser by which the barge was attached to the tug,
and thus left themselves drifting with the tide down the
river. When off Greenwich Hospital they threw out a spare
anchor, and were brought up. The next flood tide saw their
moorings shifted to an anchorage opposite Garden-stairs,
where, at particular states of the tide, passengers embark
and land over the Queen steamer, placed near the stairs for
a receiving vessel. Parties connected with the pier attended
before the navigation committee yesterday, to obtain per.
mission to replace their pier, but without success. A public
meeting will shortly be held on the subject, at which the
Members for the borough have promised to attend. In the
mean time the greatest excitement prevails.

BRIGHTON, JULY 28 —Lord Powcrscourt arrived
from Paris yesterday, by the steamer, from Dieppe.
At the last concert of the Royal Academy of Music
a young and accomplished vocalist, Miss Anninelli Chess-
man, made her debut; of whose future position on the musi-
cal stage—for which, after visiting Italy, she is intended by
her friends—both amateurs and cognoscenti entertain a high
estimate. Besides a vocal organ of much sweetness, bril-
liancy, and extensive register, she is distinguished by those
qualities fitted for stage effect, histrionic talent, universally
regular features, and handsome person.
MARY oF MODENA, CONSORT OF JAMES IL—The
Ninth Volume of Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queens of
England" is to be published with the Magazines at the end
of the present month. It will comprise the Life of Mary of
Modenr, the amiable Consort of the unfortunate Jaynes 11.
The Lite of this Queen is likely to prove one of the most
valuable of the series, the materials being derived from
sources hitherto closed to the English reader. A large por-
tion of them has been taken from an unpublished Diary kept
by one of the Nuns of Chaillot, with whom Mary of Modena
was in constant and friendly communication. Many other
important details are derived from manuscripts preserved
among the Royal Archives of France, access to which. with
various other valuable privileges, have beat alrorded the
authoress by M. Guizot.
