ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF THE
BRIDGE-HOUSE COMMITTEE.
One of the most interesting of the city of London fes-
tivals took place yesterday, when the memhera of the
Bridge-house Committee, their ladies, and a select circle
of visitors, proceeded from Kew to Twickenham on
board the Maria Wood, one of the splendid barges be-
longing to the city, and one most admirably adapted for
such a species of entertainment as that of which it was
yesterday the scene. About a hundred and thirty lutes
and gentlemen were ease...bled, including Aldermen
Sir Chapman Marshall, J. Humphery, M.P., and F. G.
Moon, James Low, Esq., Jacob Goodhart, Esq., and many
members of the Common Council and their ladies. %Wile
the Maria Wood wad being slowly towed from Kew te
Twickenham, the company amused themselves awhile
in admiring the beautiful panorama afforded by the hanks
of the Thames, which, in the neighbourhood of Rich-
mond and Twickenham, present a continued succession
of picturesque views. But this contemplative entertain-
ment constituted only a small part of the day's
amusements. An excellent band was in attendance
and the deck of the Maria Wood, throughout the early
part of the day, was converted into a salon de dense.
Quadrilles, waltzes, and polkas whiled away the time
until, on the arrival of the barge at Twickenham, the
fair dancers (the gentlemen not being allowed to share
in the privilege) landed and visited the memorable
grotto of the poet Pope. On the re-assembling
of the party the real business of the day come
menced. The artistic skill and the active ex-
ertions of Mr. Younghusband (the City Soyer) had
rendered the saloon of the Maria: Wood a
miniature Guildhall, where from a hundred to a hundred
and fifty guests sat down to a magnificent and plentiful
entertainment. The chair was v. ry ably filled by Mr.
James Low, one of the members of the committee. The
success of such peculiar entertainments very materially
depends upon the president, and the assembly of yester-
day was in this respect remarkably fortunate. Careful
to avoid anything like a " long speech" Mr. Low
rendered his discourses brief In quantity but excellent in
quality. His remarks were singularly emphatic, and
enlivened with many happy and appropriate allusions,
which were not lost upon the auditory. One of the
happiest instances of this most excellent characteristic
in a chairman occurred in the prefatory remarks to the
toast of " The Army and Navy," in which Mr. Low
felicitously expressed his wish " that every soldier
and sailor might die in his bed." Among the toasts of
the evening were, "The Queen," " the Royal Family,"
" The Lord Mayor," " the Magistrates of the City of
London," responded to by Sir Chapman Marshall ;
" the Chairman," to whose careful arrangements, active
exertions, and universal courtesy the success which at-
tended yesterday's festivity, and the enjoyment of every
individual memb.r, was so greatly attributable. The
" Health of Mr. Low " was proposed by Alderman
Humphery; " the Sheriffs," "the Visitors," "the Ladies,"
and other toasts followed, wound up by that of " The
City of London, and prosperity to the trade thereof."
As the barge passed Richmond on its return numbers
of persons congregated on the banks of the Thames to
admire the attractive and unusual scene which it pre-
s. rated. Through the open windows of the saloon might
be seen the gentlemen discussing their dessert and their
speeches, while on the deck, under the awning, groups
of elegantly dressed ladies were gaily " tripping it on the
light fantastic toe," more gaily, perhaps, than if so en-
gaged on terra firma. Among the songs with which
some excellent vocalists enlivened the festival, the most
appropriate commemorated the rising of "Old Father
Thames," the scene of this singularly successful and
pleasure-giving entertainment.

MISS BINFIELD WILLIAMS'S SOIREE MUSICALE.—
Miss Binfield Williams, whose masterly performance on the
pianoforte makes us regret not oftener hearing her in public,
gave a musical treat to a crowded and fashionable auditory
last evening, at the new Beethoven Rooms, Queen Anne-
street. One of Osborne and De Beriot's concertante duetts
was most charmingly rendered by the fair bew:ficiare and
Herr Molique, and Beethoven's Trio op. 70 was performed
as effectively as the most ardent admirer of that composer
could desire by Miss Williams, Herr Molique, and M.
Rousselot. Miss Bassano sang "Ah ! quel porno" most
brilliantly, and also elicited great applause in a pretty little
ballad of Charles Saloman's. Mr. Harries Wilson sang his
composition of Schiller's celebrated song of " The Diver" in
a way that bids fair for his becoming at no distant day ex-
ceedingly popular in this species of musical monologue
opera, and exhibited, by his manner of accompanying him-
self on the piano, a thorough knowledge of all the resources
of the instrument. We should like to see such songs as
" The Diver" introduced into our private drawing-rooms in
the place of many of the milk-and-waterish, question-asking,
reply-giving ballads that have made their way thither of
late. M. Henri Drayton was announced to appear, but from
some unexplained cause did not do so. The system, which
is very prevalent just now with some artistes, of allowing
their names to be put down, and then not coming forward,
is a most unfair proceeding to the patrons, and ungenerous
to the givers of concerts. Mr. Charles &lonian most ably
conducted during the evening, which we hope proved as sa-
tisfactory to the fair provider of the entertainment as it did
to all who were present.
THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COMMON
I'Las.—The late Attorney-General, Sir John Jervis,
Knight, 111. p., who, in consequence of the elevation of Sir
Thomas Wilde, has been appointed to succeed him as judge in
the office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, will be
sworn in as Chief Justice, singularly enough, before the
samejudge on Monday next.
THE NEW LAW ....APPOINTMENTS.—It will be ob-
served that writ^ for new elections were last night moved for
in the House of Commons fur Devonport and Southampton,
Sir J. Romilly and bin Cockburn having accepted the
offices of Attorney and Solicitor-General.
.MONUMENT TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—The monu-
ment to Sir Robert Peel is the loaf of bread. Let it be put
under the protection of his name, stamped "Peel's Loaf,"
and who will dare to displace that name, by diminishing the
loaf or raising its price ?—Examiner.

r. Alderman Carden yesterday remanded from
,he Guildhall a fur-worker, named William Turner, and a
Jew dealer, named Abraham Harris, charged, the former
with stealing, and the latter with feloniously receiving,
several valuable Frexch sables and other skins. Ilarris had
stated on a former examination that he was a skin-dealer,
and would buy anything from any person without asking
any questions.

The groom of Mr. Alderman Hunter was yester-
day fined 20s. at the Marlborough Police-court for furious
riding in the Park.
