BLACKFRIABS. BRIDGE.—In consequence of a con-
tinued subsidence of the centre pier of this bridge, it is the
intention of the committee who have the control of the
works shortly to stop the carriage way for a brief period, in
order either to lessen the superincumbent weight, or after-
wards, if the pier still continues to move, to load it so as to
drive the foundation timbers and stonework down to the bed
of clay at a short distance below. The strong wooden cen-
t tering lately put up under the two arches which spring from
this pier is to enable it to settle without•danger, in the event
of the foundation sinking, until it reaches the clay, upon
which no doubt is entertained that all further movement will
cease. The wooden railing lately raised in front of the p!i-
rapet was to prevent the public from observing the gala,
the
mischief stonework ; but it is impossible not to perceive that
mischief is still going on, from the unseemly hollow in ther
been roadway. The ofending pier has been troublesome ever
since the erection of the bridge; but its decay
