In the Gazette of Thursday, among other notices is
one fur an Act for making, erecting, and maintaining a
bridge across the Thames, near Chelsea Hospital, and
another for a Bill to incorporate the governors and sub
scribers of the London Orphan Asylum. The others are
chiefly railway notices, of which there are not less than
forty-nine. .

(5n Wednesday a gang of swindlers, who have been
taking a great deal of money by means of forged begging
letters, were Pounced upon in the money-order office of
the General Post-office, Dublin, by two of the detective
police, and taken into legal custody. They had just re-
ceived the amount of orders from the country—some of
the fruits of their successful operations upon provincial
dupes. The detectives were waiting for them in the
office, and seized upon them the moment they had con-
verted their money-letters into cash.
At Liverpool, on Wednesday evening, the fifth annual

meeting of the Company, that gentleman, in referring
to the proposed branch from Worcester to Wolverhamp-
ton, was made to say that the. Worcester Committee
proposed to the Grand Junction ampany, that that
portion of the projected Mesworth, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton line should be made jointly. The Com-
pany referred to by Mr. Glyn was, as the context
showed, the Birmingham and Gloucester, and not the
Grand Junction Company.—Herald.
The Directors of the Bank issued a notice late this
afternoon, that they will lend money on the usual secu-
rities during the shutting of the banks, for the payment
of the dividends, at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum.
This notice has taken the banking interest all aback, as
they seem to have expected an advance rather than a
reduction in the rate. The time limited is the 17th
January, and we believe that it is the lowest terms upon
which the Bank of England ever made loans.--Morning
Herald.
