PUBLIC PROMENADES BY THE RIVER

THAMES.

The elegant and magnificent conceptions of Martin,
which about twenty p-ars ago elicited the tvimirstian of
peers and patriots, prelates and philosophers, are about
being realised by a Joint-Stock Company. A noble
esplanade for public promenades is promised on the
north bank of the River Thames, and a Moc'rsom—not a
Martin—is the man to d, it. Many i‘linist..rs have
talked about it, but none hue attempted it. I'he object
has often been declared a great desideratum for this
mighty metropolis, but—" where was the cash to come
fro:u ?" The " ignorant impatience of taxation "
frightened many a willing Premier, and was pleaded by
many an unwilling Chancellor of the Exchequer. A
Joint-Stock Company is to effect this great work " for a
consideration " The p..:et sing a—
" Self-love when pusli'd to social is divine;"
and though public companies may be said, in the 18n-
guage of a popular orator, to have "no hearts and
cannot feel," it must not be added th:,t they have "no
heads and cannot think." The promoters of this Cote
pany have thought.; and, with 5 percent. compound in
terest for the cost of the Promenade above, and indefi-
nite profits for
.the Railway below, there is now little
doubt that another " lung" will shortly be given to Lon
don.—Globe.

'IRE LATE THOst.AS HOOD.—We are glad tr, ob-
serve that the example of Manchester, in starting a local suta,crip-
tion in aid of the Hood Fund, is beisig ,*ollo wed in other large
towns, and that the provincial journals are beginning to call
public attention in their respective districts to this excel.
lent object. A paragraph in the Bath chronicle of Thurs.
day last announces the opening of a subscription in that
city and its neighbourhood ; the result of which will, we
doubt not, be such as to place I3ath on a line with Manchester for
liberality, and for an intelligent appreciation of literary genius.
These unsolicited efforts on heh,,lf of the deceas,cl p set's
occurring spontaneously in districts so widely remote, and among
classes of such diverse interests and pursuits, bear witness to the
general estimation in which Mr. ve,satile rowers were held ;
artsi give ir 'if a natit,nai character to the denionttritten
now ruukii.g in his honour.
PLYMOUTH, JU 20.—The (;re r Brita;r; its i.
steamship trade an excursion round the Eddystone this morning.
She left Millbay pier, the tide half ebb, at a quarter to nine
o'clock, and arrived at the Eddystone at five rtnnutes after ten
o'clock There were about 500 passengers on hoard. Tickets, ss.
On returning the ship was several times suddenly stopped, owing
to the heated state of some parts of the main bearings o: her im.
meuse engines. There was no wind, th? sea smooth, and the
weather warm, the thermometer being seventy in the shade. On
the occurrence of these stoppages the machinery was allowed to cool,
and when again put in motion, plentifully supplied with water
poured from a hose-pipe. The machinery of all new engines is
liable to this casualty. It may he recollected that when her Ma-
jesty's steamer Penelope made her first trip down channel, her
paddle boxes became ignited from the same cause. On entering
the Sound, while under way, Captain Hosken had the helm put
hard a-port, and turned the immense ship completely rcand in
about six minutes, and then, by reversing the srietv, Si.r
worked astern, and having stopped her way, turned her rcur.d in a
circle, the diameter of which scarcely exceeded her own length.
Her passengers, and the spectators crowded on the hi !gilts
ashore, appeared highly gratified by these evolutlons, wijch
furnished undeniable evidence of one of the numerous advan-
tages derivable from this method of propulsion. At twelve
o'clock she landed her passengers at the pier, arid in the
afternoon departed for Dublin. The visit of the Great Bri.tain
steam-ship to Plymouth has fully proved the utility of the Millbay
Pier, recently constructed by Mr. T. Gill, M.P. During the stay
of that immense vessel, from the 14th to the 20th in3tatit, abs ut
15,000 persons have been on board, without accident, and although
322 fret long, and drawing 16 feet when loaded, she lay as si curely
alongside as if she had been in the London Docks. Within tour
years upwards of 100.000 tons of rough stone, 37..)00 feet cf
wrought stone, and 1,000 loads of timber, have been deposited
here ; and through the perseverance of a gentleman, single.
handed, and at an expenditure approaching 30,0001., a pier has
been constructed capable of accommodating the longest ship In the
world.

SPORTING. AT PAR IS.— ALLEG ED FORGERY 11
HIGII LIFE.—A circumstance has just occurred which has caused
the greatest astonishment in the upper circles of Paris. Prince de
B—, twenty-two years of age, married, about eleven months
back, to the daughter of a a rich banker, was arrested on Thursday,
and committed to prison, on a charge of forgery, committed under the
following circumstances :—Tbe Jockey Club, in order to facilitate
the payments of racing and of her debts, have beets in the habit of
using counters made of ivory, stained red, bearing the year on one
side and the signature of the secretary on the other, each represent.
ing 100 f. Some time back, Prince do B—, who is not a member of
the club, handed over to his brother. in-law, also a banker, ten of
these counters, and asked him to give him cash for them. This
was done, and the bank, r sent them its the course of business to
the club, where nine were declared to :.e (org-rice. The secre-
tary immediately proceeded to the hanker's, and the Prince was
sent for. He declared unhesitatingly that he had received them at
the races of Chantilly, its payment o: a bet, from a person on the
course, whose name he believed to be Zartatti, an Italian, whose
address he die not know A comteaint was lodged before 111
Juge d'lns'ruction, who at once instituted inquiries, and sue.
ceeded in discovering the man who had made the vaunters This
person declared he had received the order for them from a young
man whom he had seen only twice-, and whose person he could not
well describe. He delivered them, he said, as he would prove by
his books, on May 24. This deposition was in fiat contradic.
tion with the account of Prince de B-----, Who had
fixed May 18 as the day on which lie received them at
bin these gesitsemt n d, toed in

the former at once recognised the latter as the person who bad
given him the order. The Prince then burst into tears, and
avowed that it was he who had himself circulated the twenty five
counters, twenty-two of which have come into the club. He was
at once committed to prison for forgery. What makes this case
