REBUILDING OF WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—Last night a
public meeting was held at the Vestry-hall, Kennington-
green, for the purpose of petitioning parliament respect-
ing Westminster-bridge. The time appointed for the
meeting was 6 o'clock, but there were not a dozen per-
sons present. At half-past 6 o'clock there were not
more than 20 in the ball. Mr. Knight wished to know
by whom the meeting had been called. Mr. Roffey, the
vestry clerk, said the vestry had directed the meeting to
be held, in order that leaseholders and tradesmen affected
by the proposed alteration of the situ might attend and
express their opinions. It was resolved to adjourn the
meeting for a month.
The Bavarian Government makes known to the public
that no foreign paper money excepting Austrian bank-
notes, will be accepted at the different treasuries of the
State.

LLANELLY RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the half yearly
general meeting of the shareholders in this company was
held at the London Tavern—Mr. J. Biddulph in the
chair. The report, which was of an encouraging nature,
stated that the profit made upon the whole year appli-
cable to dividends, after paying into-est on the deben-
tures, was 4,3701. 13s. 11d., of which the dividends
payable on the Five per Cent. Preference Shares ab-
sorbed 1,7801. 25., leaving 2,5901. 11s. 11d, for the
ordinary shares. The report was unanimously adopted,
and a motion was proposed and agreed to declaring a
dividend of 11. per share on the original shares of the
company.
SURREY GARDENS.—MR. THACKERAY'S LECTURES.—
On Wednesday night Mr. Thackeray recommenced his
series of lectures " On the Four George's," at the Surrey-
gardens. The directors acted wisely in securing the consent
of Mr. Thackeray to deliverthese lectures, as we are sure
nothing less popular and intellectual would bring
together in the present season sueh an audi.
ence as assembled in the Music-hall last night.
Apart from the impressive manner, the brilliant style of
the lecturer, and perhaps the pervading love of scandal
and satire, which add to the fascination of these lectures,
we believe that their general truthfulness and Watteau.
like correctness of detail form the real basis of their
popularity.
ELECTION OF A PROCTOR IN CONVOCATION.—There
was a meeting of beneficed clergymen of the diocese of
Oxford at St. Mary's Church, Oxfori, yesterday, to elect
a Proctor in the Lower House of Convocation in the
place of the late Professor Hussf y. The Bishop of Oxford
presided, and there was a large attendance of clergy.
Mr. Lloyd, ene of the Bishop's chaplains, was elected.
THE DETECTIVg POLICE AND THE ELECTRIC TELE-
GRAPH.— On Monday a telegraphic massage was received
by Superintendent Clough, of the Liverpool detective
police, from the superintendent of police at the Tower
station, London, informing him that a young man,
named Charles Mendoza, had decamped fron London,
and taken with him three valuable diamond rings—one
a diamond hoop, another a large emerald set in diamonds,
and the other pearl and dh\monds. They were of the
value respectively of 101., 2C1., and 401. lie took also
a gold watch chain and other Appendages, valued at up-
wards of 501. On Tuesday, Car isle, the detective officer,
niet the absconder on the Waterloo-road, Liverpool, and
, knowing him from the description arrested him. The
jewellery, it may be stated, Met doze's sister alleges he
stole from her, as it is at her instance be has been ar-
rested. Carlisle found upon him a first-class passenger
ticket for New York, by the Albert Gallatin, in which
he was about to sail from Liverpool. His arrest was at
once telegraphed to London, and on Wednesday a re•
turn message came requesting his transmission to Lou-
don, whither he was sent the same day, in custody of
• an officer.
