nouneed their intention practically to act upon his lordship ' s recommendation . The New Westjiixster Bbidge . —A number of ¦ workmen are employed in making a temporary approach to the new bridge from the Lambeth side . The carriage road is carried by a slight curve from the main thoroughfare round the angle of the Bed Xiion Tavern , and across the recess in which the bridge-commissioners' offices formerly stood , and thence on to the western half of the bridge . Active
preparations are bein <* made for commencing the approach from the Middlesex side ; the occupiers of Oliver ' s Hotel and the Westminster Dining Rooms having vacated their respective premises in compliance with notices issued by the Board of Works . In consequence of the number of buildings that are to be pulled do « n in New Bridge-street , Westminster , and Bridge-road , Lambeth , it is not expected that the permanent approaches can be finished before next Apri ' . _ , . „ the Court of
City Matters . —0-i Thursday _ . Common Council . had a . irrnf metropolitan question before them , namely , . t Ik- ¦ « t : ihlishmeht of a new meat market at Smitlsfiel'l , involving an outlay , in one way or .-mother , of something like . half a million sterling , u Ith the prospect only of being compensated by the rent of ' stalls , which is calculated at from £ 16 , 000 to . £ 25 , 000 per annum . The court proceeded to consider two reports from the improvements committee and markets improvements committee respectively , upon references to them previously to consider whether any plan could be devised to establish a direct communication between the intended metropolitan railroad and the contemplated market . After some discussion , both reports were referred back to the committees , in accordance with the terms of a motion to that effect . The .
court then adjourned . Election Intelligence . — Mr . Atherton , the member for Durham , having become Solicitor-General , there is in consequence a vacancy in the representation , and Mr . Atherton will have to appear before his constituents for re-election . At Reading , it is anticipated that Sir F . Goldsmid will carry the day , in opposition to Mr . Benson , if that gentleman contests the borough . It is not likely there will even , be a talk of opposition to Mr . Atherton at Durham . As to Pontefract , the arbitrator requires Mr . Overend to resign , and Mr . Childers to stand as a candidate . Accordingly , Mr . Childers has already issued an address to the electors , but the election cannot take place until Parliament meets .

The Relations Between France And Austria...
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE AND AUSTRIA . The Moniteur of Thursday says : —" Prince Metternich , in presenting his letlres de crtance to the Emperor , delivered a speech , in which he said : — ' His master had comqpanded him most particularly to convince the Emperor of the high price he attached to his personal friendship , ' adding , * that it would be agreeable to his Majesty to see the completion and consolidation of the relations of good understanding and intimacy with which the general interests of Europe are so closely connected . ' The Emperor replied , ' I have the firm hope that the relations which have been so happily reestablished between the Emperor of Austria and myself cannot but become more friendly by an . attentive examination of the interests of the two countries . Since I have seen the Emperor I attach a great value to Ijis personal friendship . Tho sincere agreement ; between us will be facilitated by the choice of a representative whoso conciliatory spirit is known , and who has so many titles to my confidence and to my esteem . ' "

THE CONGRESS . Tub Pays announces tljat the Pope and the King of Naplea have sent in thoir adhesion to the Congress , ana adds : —" The Congress is now constituted in principle . The unanimous adhesion to it proves that Europe knows how- to appreciates and acknowledge the energetic and loyal policy of tho Emperor ; and allows us to presage a satisfactory solution of the difficulties of tho Italian question .

FREE TRADE IN FRANCE . M , Bauoohb has brought before tho Council of State a project containing tho revision to tho most liberal extent of tho principal tar if Fa in France . " Tho Emperor , " n'clils a correspondent of tho Nord , " in discussing with Mr . Cobden , at Compoigno , tho principle of free trade , took oomo trouble to show tho celebrated economist that to bring 1 about commercial liberty in . Franco , onergotio resistances have to bo overcome , and that it is nocossnry to proceed with caution and prudence . The measure which is to , bo
submitted to the Legislative Corps will not , then , give complete extension to the principles of commercial freedom ; but it will be a material progress upon the present state of things . Opposition is expected not only in the Council of State , but in the Senate , tlie Legislative Corps , and the industrial centres which depend so much on protection and prohibition .

The Lemoine Trial.—The Revolting Trial O...
The Lemoine Trial . —The revolting trial of Mme . Lcmoine and her daughter for the murder of the infant of the latter ( the result of an intrigue with a groom in their family ) has been terminated by the acquittal of the daughter and the conviction of the mother to twenty years' hard labour . An eye-witness says : —" From the evidence I do not think that an English jury would have found the prisoner guiltj' of concealment of birth , and , considering that there was no proof of the child not having been still-born when it was destroyed , the sentence appears excessive in severity . The proud bearing of Mme . Lcmoine , who refused to submit to the ' brow-beating of the judge , and declined to answer the ' impure and perfectly unnecessary questions put to her by him , has given rise to a general opinion that the severity of the sentence is to be ascribed to a mean desire of retaliation rather than to any wish to make an example , and to show t hat the law is no respecter of persons . Anything more discreditable to the administration of justice in France than the manner in which this trial was conducted it would be impossible to conceive . " Madame ¦ Lemoine has lodged an appeal against her sentence before the Court of Cassation . Ili / ness of Prince Jerome . — On Wednesday the ex-king of Westphalia was again attacked with inflammation of the lungs . His state was very grave , and causes serious apprehensions . The Emperor and Empress visited his Imperial Hfehness . " ¦
Central Italy And Garibaldi. A Eetter Fr...
CENTRAL ITALY AND GARIBALDI . A EETtER from Rome says : — "Garibaldi is a most worthy man himself ; but certain parties have left no stone unturned to compromise him and make him . the tool of their intrigues . I know from a good source that Cardinal Antonelli frequently repeated to his friends , " Henceforth our only hope lies in some prank of Garibaldi's . ' I have made it my duty to obtain accurate information respecting the numbers and condition of the soldiers in Central Italy , and , therefore , I can hiost positively declare to vou . that they actually are 42 , 000 strong , well equipped , well disciplined , and really martial in their appearance . " It has been decided to raise fortifications round Bologna , and to expend on them five millions of francs . The works have been commenced . Order and tranquillity continue in the Homagna , and so profound as to surpass the most sanguine expectations . A Turin letter , of the 11 th , in the Debuts saj r s : — . " Facts are now passing in the Duchy of Modena which are not without significance . Nearly all the great families attached to the Grand Duke arc leaving the country and selling their estutes . Among those mentioned as having taken this step are tho Marquises Cocenpani , Buol , Mclipuli , Galliani ; Counts lUolza , Gnndini , Abbati , Gulvani , Fuleini , Bellcnttani , & c . "

The Dispute With America. The Intelligen...
THE DISPUTE WITH AMERICA . The intelligence received by the last mail from the United States gives fair reasonVto hope for an earlv settlement of the immediate difficulty raised by General Hartley ' s arbitrary and violent occupation of the Island of ¦ St . ¦ Juan . ¦ General Scott , whearrived on the scene with authority from Iris Government to conclude an arrangement with the British authorities on the basis contained in the often-quoted letters of Secretary Marcy , had with that object made a proposition to Governor Douglas which will in nil probability lead to ai » agreement * The danger of a collision between the two countries * may now be considered as at an end . The question of tlie sovereignty of the island still remains to be dealt with by the two -Governments , and n-. ay still present difficulties ; but it is very satisfactory to see . it fairly recovered from the rude hands which lately ' seized it , and to know that its ' adjustment will not be disturbed by military surprises . Thk Fate of ' Brown . —The most exciting topic in the United States was the approaching execution of Brown and his accomplices in the . Harper ' s Ferry affair . Governor Wise , of . Virginia , had ordered out a large military force to overawe any attempt atrescue that might be threatened . A proposition had also been started to establish martial law . ' Brovn had expressed entire resignation to his fate . Money was being liberally contributed in the north-western states to support his family . .
China. News From Hong Kong Is To The 29t...
CHINA . News from Hong Kong is to the 29 th October . Political affairs are quiet . Mr . Bruce remains at Shanghai , and Admiral Flopeis at Hong Kong . "We hear from the north that the Chinese are taking energetic measures with the view of defence , and that Sankolinsin , the Tartar Chief , is at the head of affairs . Contributions are soiight for by Government from the trailing communities , which have responded but feebly to this call on their patriotism . The Imperial Treasury is doubtless much reduced . At Canton the reorganisation of the Custom-house under the direction of foreign inspectors , has created much excitement , and is likelv to affect trade . It is
to be regretted that the present time should have been chosen for such a clumiie , when out -n- ' r . lions with China are so very undefined . Carrying on trade with a country while we are at war with its Government is certainly an anomaly , but to collect its revemie and thus furnish t lie sinews of war is more anomalous still , especially while a heavy indemnity is due . The American Consul has refused his assent to the new system until he communicates with Mr . Ward , who is shortly expected here from Japan . Another steamer has been lost near Shanghai , the James Hartley ; officers ami crew saved .
Her Majesty ' s gunboat Bustard was despatched to the wreck , and by the very great and praiseworthy exertions of Lieutenant Hallowcs , mid those under his command , alt the treasure on hoard the steamer was got up and brought safely to llon « Kong . We presume » i salvape will bo awarded to compensate in some degree for the exertions wade to save private property , more especially as the vessel had been in the hands of the Chinese for sonic flays . > ve have , also to announce the loss of the ship Inkermanbi from London , about CO miles from this port ; all hands saved . Her Majesty ' s steamer Furious lias
gone to the wreck . . . A large firo broke out at Hong Konp on the nigiu 18 th inst ., which tit one time threatened great destruction , but the invaluable efforts of the senmen and marines from Her Mnjcsty ' s nlilp " , under tne direction 6 f the Admiral himself , checked the raurso of tlio flames . The Komuui Catholic ! church an <» buildings attached to it wore destroyed .
