LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

The Siecle says that Beranger, the poet, has had a
hemorrhage, but has now so far recovered as to cause
no further uneasiness to his friends.
A meeting of Russian and German capitalists, toge-
ther with the representatives of the credit institutions '
of Coburg, Dessau, and Dramstadt, has been held at an
hotel in Frankfort-on-the-Maine. The object of the
meeting appears to have been to settle the programme
of a large undertaking to be entered into by their united
financial forces in the south of Russia. The capital that
they have subscribed for this purpose is said to be
24,000,000 silver roubles.
SOCIETE DES CLIPPERS FRANcAIsEg,It is under-
stood that the Socitste des Clippers Flancaises, by whom
a contract was lately effected for the purchase of eight
screw-steamers from the General Screw Company, have
failed to meet the instalment due from them on Monday
last. They had previously lodged a deposit of 25,0001.,
which will be forfeited in case of the non-completion of
the bargain ; but it is stated that the Soci6t4 intend to
propose some modification by which the arrangement
miy yet be carried out.
PUBLIC BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.—Yesterday, at a
Court of Common Council, Mr. Abraham moved " That
it be referred to the City Lands Committee, the Coal
and Corn and Finance Committee, and the Improve-
ment Committee to consider and report to this court the
baths and wash-houses in the
best means of supplying
City, and the estimated cost thereof • and whether a
suitable place can be found in the City Of London for the
erection thereof." Mr. H. L. Taylor moved the previous
question, which was lost by 30 votes against 18. The
original motion was then carried.
`MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.--The war group
in this establishment which has elicited such attention
and admiration from the visitor, is now nearly complete
and represents nearly all the chief personages in Europe
—crowned heads, statesmen, soldiers, sailors, &c. The
whole presents to the eye a most imposing and grand
effect, and not to be surprised by any similar exhibition
in Europe. We understand that several interesting
novelties are in progress, among them is the portrait of
General Williams of liars,
