THE QUEENBOROUGH FREEMEN.

Mr. Cape!, M.P. for Queenborough, has received
the following note :--
" St. James's-place, Jan. 5.
_ _

" Sir Francis Burdett presents his compliments to Mr.
Capel, and hopes he will excuse his troubling him upon an
occasion which cannot be otherwise than interesting to
him—the state of the inhabitants of Queeuborough. He
takes the liberty of requesting of Mr. Cape! to have the
goodness to transmit for him 101. for their relief in general ;
and 51. to Edward Skey, the man who spoke with so much
sense and spirit at the Meeting the other day; and Si. to
the poor hard-working honest fisherman, Thompson, for
such was his designation at the Meeting. Sir Francis
Burdett again expresses his hope that Mr. Capel will for-
give the trouble he puts upon him.
" For J. Capel, Esq. M.P., 32, Russell-square."

PROJECTED NEW BRIDGE ACROSS

THE TYNE.

On Saturday the sth inst. a Public Meeting was
held at Newcastle, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the expediency of erecting a bridge
over the Tyne, at Scotswood, as also for construct-
ing roads to communicate with the Great Western
Road, and direct to Newcastle. In the unavoidable
absence of the Hon. H. T. Liddell, M.P., and the
Right Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle, the
Chair was taken by Major Anderson. After duly
discussing the matter, and examining the plans and
surveys of Mr. Chapman, the engineer, it was una-
nimously resolved that it would he highly beneficial
to the public to form a bridge and roads, as above
specified. To carry the measure into effect, it ap-
peared that the sum of 12,000/. would be required.
It was therefore proposed, and carried, that that sum
should be raised in shares of 251. each. Before the
Meeting broke up, shares to the amount of nearly
4,000/. were subscribed for, viz.:—
