WATERLOO BRIDGE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Beaufort-buildings,
Strand—Mr. Anderson i❑ the chair.

Mr. Clarke, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the amount received for tolls during the
half-year had been £10,626—viz., £5,764 for horse
toll and £4,826 for foot toll—showing a decrease
of £7OO as compared with the corresponding period
of last year. The total receipts from all sources had
been £11,739, and the total expenditure £1,682.
The interest on bonds amounted to £1,307, and
from the balance, £8,750, the directors declared a
dividend of 4s. Bd. per pound on 37,500 annuities.
The bridge and its approaches were in a sound and
satisfactory condition.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the running of the penny omnibus from
Waterloo station to the Strand occasioned a loss to
the company in foot tolls to the amount of about
£4OO per annum. Those omnibuses made 340
journeys per day, with an average of eight passen-
gers. The directors had no means of preventing this
loss, as they had no power under their Act to raise
the toll on omnibuses, which was the only way in
which the evil could be met. They must, therefore,
put up with the loss at present.
_ _ _ _ _ _

- Sir J. RENNIE seconded the resolution. He took
a great interest in the bridge, and since the Em-
bankment and railway works had been in progress
near the bridge he had made a point of visiting it
every week, and he was able to report that up to
the present time no injury whatever had been sus-
tained by the bridge.
The report having been adopted, Sir J. Rennie,
Mr. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. Stuck°, and Mr. Skynner,
the retiring directors, and Mr. Vaughan, the
auditor, were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman concluded the proceedings.

THAMES.

AN UNWOMANLY OUTUAGE.—Mary Ann Johnson, a
bloated and dissipated woman, aged 29 years, was brougLt
before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk au d disorderly
and violently assaulting Flora Winch, a respectable mar-
ried woman, of No. 27, Turner-street, Whitechapel.
The complainant, who is far advanced in pregnancy
gave evidence in this court some time since which affected
a friend of the prisoner's. Yesterday evening the pri-
soner was drunk and disorderly in Charles-street,
Stepney, and meeting the complainant and her husband,
commenced abusing them, and using very foul language.
The prisoner continually exclaimed "Did I steal any-
thing from you; dare you say so ?" The complainant
civilly replied, " 1 never m i
made any charge against you."
The prisoner, after indulging n more abuse and coarse
invective, made a furious attack on the complainant and
her husband, and struck both repeatedly. A police-
constable, named Donald M`Kay, No. 275 K, was passing,
and took the prisoner into custody, He said that the
i
complainant was seriously njured, and put to great
inconvenience and pain by the outrage upon her. The
prisoner said she was the worse for liquor or she would
not have acted as she had done.
Mr. Paget said that nearly all the offences brought un-
der his I notice were committed under the influence of
strong drinks. The prisoner had committed two audaci-
ous assaults, one on the complainant and the other on her
husband. The delicate situation. of the complainant ought
to have stayed the prisoner! hand The outrage was a
most unwomanly one, committed because the complainant
had done her duty in the interests of justice. Ile sen-
tenced
bou.r the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and hard

THE USE OF THE CAT.

Mr. Justice Lush issues from the Assize Court at
Leeds a solemn warning to criminals who have e
tendency to violence. His lordship declares
that ho won't spare them. For violence the law
awards the cat, and the cat the court will
give. Fifty lashes, three times repeated,
is a very stiff punishment ; and Mr. Justice
Lush reminds the world that he has power tD
inflict it. Nor will he be sentimentally swayed
against so severe a sentence. Though he has never
yet given the whole punishment, he is not at all sure
that he will not do so. The maximum might be
necessary (he said), and he should not shrink from
his duty. The dark days of December are closing
upon us. Nervous people are fearing the streets ; the
criminal classes are looking forward for some work to
do. The learned judge, therefore, makes a timely
announcement to re-assure the one section and warn
the other.

THE womarEN's EXHIBITION.

The English Consul in Panama has received a commu-
nication from the Foreign Office, informing him
that the Commissioners of the Workmen's Inter-
national Exhibition of 1870 desire to receive
specimens of woods of various kinds and articles
of agricultural produce. Many valuable and interesting
specimens may be furnished from the Republics of Central
America. Some of the woods aro little known abroad, but
would excite admiration if they were seen. A short time
ago a very hard wood, beautifully shaded, and susceptible
of a very high polish, was found in the Cauca, and another
kind, resembling rosewood, was found in the Isthmus.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Dec. 2.—ln consequence of a
rise in the price of cotton yesterday there was an
advance in yarns of id. to id. per lb., and in cloths
of lid. to 3d. per piece. Sellers are exceedingly
firm in this demand, having a good supply of
orders, but it checks business. Buyers are dis-
posed to wait, before executing orders, to see how
far this advance can be established. The question
as to whether cotton will be dearer or cheaper is
just now one of engrossing speculation. Messrs.
Ellson and Haywood, of Liverpool, in their circu-

BRADFORD, Dec. 2.—The wool market this morn-
ing is rather quieter in tone. There is a fair
inquiry for most sorts of wool, especially for choice
lustre and demi-lustre, both hogs and wethers,
though the aggregate amount of business done is not
large. The rates which in the case of good scarce
wools staplers are obliged to seek, in consequence
of the stiffer quotations of country holders and
dealers, still tend to repress business. The time of
the year is usually one of less activity, and, more-
over, most spinners have recently operated rather
freely, and are consequently in less need of wool.
Such operations as occur are to cover immediate re-
quirements. Prices are generally firmly maintained ;
if anything, this is less apparent in medium and in-
ferior sorts. There is little inquiry in worsted yarns,
and not much business done in any class. A very
limited inquiry is apparent in single yarns, with
little demand arising out of it. There is a rather
freer inquiry in twofold yarns, but the prices offered
are not remunerative, and consequently result in
little business. Some small orders have been
placed by export merchants, in order to meet
p:essing requirements. There is, if anything,
rather less inquiry on home account, and the trans-
actions are somewhat restricted. The piece trade is
still rather inactive. A few forei,;n buyers have
been in the market looking- round and occasionally
buying small lots of goods.

The very extensive Distillery now being erected
at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of
Irish whisky, by Messrs. DUNVILLE & Co., who have gained
a world-wide celebrity for their tine old Irish whisky, is to be
called "The Royal Irish Distillery."

CHEAP TUNNELS

The new tunnel under the Thames is interesting
on many accounts, and not least by reason of its
marvellous cheapness. Brunel's tunnel, which proved
such a lamentable speculation, cost £464,000. This
new iron subway will be completed, it is believed,
within the original estimate of £16,000. "If the
river Thames," says the Times, " can be tunnelled for
£16,000, it may be presumed that new subways will
be constructed at various points and angles across the
river, and that relief may be found in the multiplicity
of tramways under the stream for the paucity of
bridges and the hindrance to intercommunication
over the river." And it may be added that no river
across which there is likely to be any important
traffic need now remain without a tunnel. How
about a subway beneath the broad Humber ? It
would be much cheaper than a bridge. To qo
through the Thames subway the passengers will
descend a shaft and get into carriages, pass through
the tunnel in about a minute, and then ascend by
another lift.

COMMUNICATION WITII THE CONTINENT.
After the Suez Canal, pronounced impossible by
one of our best engineers, who shall say that
communication with France is impracticable ? If we
can thus make the waters to triumph over the dry
land, why not the land over the waters ? A canal
from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea has been
formed ; where is the barrier to a dry-landed
connection between this island and the
Continent ? Mr. Zorah Colburn, the engineer, thus
reasoned before the Society of Arts on Wednesday ;
and he explained a plan of his own for laying a
tunnel for the conveyance of passengers across the
Channel. He proposed "an iron tube, anchored and
buoyed, and constructed by means of a floating dock,
in lengths of a thousand feet or so, which should be
connected by ball and socket joints, in order to adapt
them to the irregularities of the Channel." The
tube when laid would be bolted together at the ball
joints by means of inner flanges; it would be
lined with brickwork and an inner iron casing,
and would be worked upon the atmospheric. principle.
The rough estimate of the cost, exclusive of ap-
proaches, was about six millions. The plan was cer-
tainly not adopted by the meeting. Most of the
speakers, indeed, expressed their opinion unfavourably
to all schemes which have yet been brought forward ;
and there was a pretty unanimous feeling that for a
very long time to come the ferry system must be de-
pended upon to do the work.

TIIE JEWS IN LITHITANIA.

Delegates from the Jews of Lithuania have waited upon
the governor of the province asking for relief from the
distress they are now suffering in consequence of the
aggressive measures against them. The governor
gave them little encouragement, and the delegates,
after holding a long ccnference, asked that they might
be allowed to emigrate in a body. This wish will not, it
is thought, be opposed, as the Jews are thought to favour
the Polish cause.

InE LAND TENURE AGITATION.

The meeting at Dundalk was frustrated by a
Fenian mob ; but in recompense, the fixity of
tenure advocates have brought off two successful
gatherings at Tullamore and Carrick-on-Shannon.
At the former place 20,000 persons were present
The priests as usual played a prominent part, and the
members for Kinge County, Sir P. O'Brien and
Mr. Sherlock, made speeches. The former affirmed
that the Irish
were nerous and forgiving, that
they would not dwell
upon the bitter past, but, with
the happy prospect of security of tenure and
of living for the time to come in peace and comfort,
they would willingly for,et and forgive the atroci-
ties of by gone times. In answer to the argument
that the differences of race and feeling between the
English and Celtic people were such that they could
never be cordially united, he pointed to the examples
of France and Prussia, in both of which countries
the people had become attached to the Government
through wise changes in the land laws.

WE. LEATHAM AND THE 'WESTMINSTER ELECTORS.

- - -
Mr. Leatham, addressing his constituents at Hud-
dersfield the other day, declaredc' that the Conserva-
tive Working Men's Association of Westminster 'had
bribed right and left to secure Mr. Smith's return.
The• Association resented this charge. They
wrote to Mr. Lelthatn requesting him t point
out the proofs, if there were any, in sup-
port of Ins statement. But- the member for
Huddersfield would neither prove, retract, nor apolo-
gise ; he simply reiterated the charge. The verdict
of the public on this alihir will be very simple.
Mr. Leatham endeavours to identify canvassing with
bribery, and though there may often be little distinc-
tion between the two, it must bo considered a mis-
representation, as terms go, to speak of them as one
and the same thing.

lIIVARLk.

Considerable excitement prevails in Bavaria. The posi-
tion of Prince Hohenlohe the Premier, is very uncertain.
The National Gazette of Berlin states that the reports con-
cerning the resignation of the Prince are more
serious than was at first supposed. It was
thought that a part of the Ministry would
retire and that Prince Hohenlohe would `reconstruct the
Administration. It appears, however, that he is fully de
termined to quit the Ministry altogether. It doubtful
who will be his successor.

G.4R01 TE ROBBERY.

A brutal garotte robbery was committed on
Thursday night in Stamford-street. It appears
that a young man named Graham, a town traveller
to a house in Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars, was
returning home to his residence claie by, and when
near the corner of Hatfield-street, two men pounced
on him, seized him by the throat, which they tightly
pressed, and, having thrown him on the ground,
rifled his pockets and took away all the money he
had in his possession. They also took away from
him a leather bag containing samples of the goods
he was soliciting orders for. Footsteps being heard
approaching from a distance, the fellows threw
down the bag and made off, and have not been
heard of since.

ment, 312, REGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and
youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation
goaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says: —"So good
an imitation becomes th,. next best thing to tLe original."

LONDON FIRES.

Only two fires took place in the metropolis dur-
ing last night and this (Friday) morning, one of
which was attended with a great loss of property,
and that one happened in the premises belonging
to Mr. J. Guy and Sous, fancy cabinetmakers,
carrying ou business at No. 12a, South-street, Fins-
bury-market. The flames commenced in the
back part of the ground floor from some un-
known cause, and in the course of a few
minutes the flames rushed up the stairs
and penetrated the roof. The engines of the
Metropolitan Brigade and the London Salvage Corps
were remarkably early in arriving, and all hands at
once went to work, but the flames could not be ex-
tinguished until the front premises were about three
parts destroyed and the piles of veneers and maho-
gany on the roof and the back workshops damaged
by fire. The origin of the misfortune is at present
uukuown. The loss will fall on the Su❑ Office.

TEE POLISU LANGUAGE.

A pleasant surprise has been given to the Austrian Poles.
The Government Commissioner inform3d them at the close
of the Diet that Polish is to be the official language of
Galicia from the Ist of January, 1870, instead of 1873, as
announced. All their most important demands would, he
added, be conceded by the Government. This announcement
gave general satisfaction, and has secured the support of
the Polish deputies to the Government. The Russian
authorities are acting very differently. A few days
since a merchant, named Yaleski, was fined 25 roubles (P.,3
108.), for addressing a friend in Polish at the public baths.
The friend and the keeper of the baths were condemned to
pay a similar fine.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme

surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by
