MIDNIIIHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., Loudon.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen Ames. ,
To enable them to continue' their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully reconeived by Mr.
at the

PRESENT VROII THE QUEEN TO THE VICEROY OF
EGYPT.—There has just been submitted to her Majesty
the Queen a most beautiful and complete set of architec-
tural and coloured drawings (comprising plans, elevations,
sections, exterior prospective, and all important decora-
tivet and constructive details) of the Royal Dairy and
Dairy Farm Buildings is the Home Park, 'Windsor,
which were erected during the lifetime of the late Prince
Corii3ort. These drawings have been sketched from the
existing works for' his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt,
and were most artistically executed by Mr. Alfred Nutt,
of the Office of Works, Windsor Castle. The drawings
are very complete, both in architectural sketching and
artistic skill. .
POISONING or FOXES.—Lady Theodore Grosvenor
has just addressed a letter to her steward, Mr. Beckett,
complaining of the poisoning of foxes on the Dorsetshire
estate of the Dowager Marchioness of Westminster. Seve-
ral foxes, she says, have lately been poisbned—one on the
very day that Mr. Portman's hounds were at King's Court.
She adds—" Poisoning foxes is a dastardly action, and
one which brings a very bad name on a country, and is
also dangerous to the hounds;_ certainly no master would
care to risk bringing his hounds into a country where it is
made a practice of. Were the hunting stopped the farmers
would be the first to suffer. I believe myself that most of
the tenants are friendly to the hunting ; I am still more
sure that few, if any, would willingly annoy Lady West-
minster or myself. But this poisoning must not go
on. I reckon confidently on the cordial assistance of the
farmers in our endeavour to discover where the foul play
is going on, and I trust they will all work together and do
their utmost to bring to light the authors of a practice
which has, I am vexed to say, already biougut our part of
the country into bad repute.'
AMERICA'S GREATEST ENGINEERING WORK.—
The proposed suspension bridge over the Hudson River,
near .New York, will extend across the river from Fort
Clinton, on the west side, to Anthony's Nose, on the east,
with one clear span of 1,600 feet, and an elevation of 155
feet above high-water mark. The total length of the
bridge, including approaches, will be about 2,500. feet.
The entire structure will be composed of steel combina-
tion truss and cable work, of great strength and graceful
appearance. There will be four systems of twenty cables
deeply rooted in the rock and abutments of the
towers on either side of the river. Each cable will be
about 14 inches in diameter, interlaced and secured by
innumerable small cables, and will contain altogether
371,165,750 feet, or 70,302 miles, of steel wire. The esti-
mated weight of the iron and steel in the bridge will be
about 17,000 tons, and the total suspended weight 9,651
tons. For the towers and approaches 50,084 square yards
of solid masonry will be required. It is believed that the
bridge, when completed, will be able to sustain the aggre-
gate weight of sixty locomotives, or more than six times
the weight that ever can be crowded upon it at one time.
The estimated cost of the work has not yet been an-
nounced.
