A Gigantic Thames Bridge.

At a meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the Works Committee reported on the subject of a new bridge over the Thames, sub- mitting a report by the engineer, Sir J. W.

ette. Mr. Roche, in moving the adop- tion of the report, said the Committee recom- mended the construction of a one-span bridge from a spot between St. Catherine's Dock and the Tower on the north of Horseleydown Lane on the south. The s would be one of 850 feet, and thus the traffic up to London Bridge would not be interfered with. The height would be 65 feet. The bridge would be the largest of the kind in the world. The ap- proaches were estimated to cost £850,000, and the bridge £400,000 ; total,f{£1,250,000. The

satisfaetion. In the latter city the dissat- | isfaction is about Russia’s position. Tl} humor is directed against Russian diplo- matists for permitting military successes and military views to turn their heads, | But England and Austria are also much | blamed; the former for wishing to de- | prive Russia of those fruits of her} victory which do not interfere with British / interests, and Austria for exaggerating and exceeding the limits defined by her before the outbreak of the war as the conditions of her neutrality. There is «a growing con- sciousness that a mistake has been made, which must be repaired. It is regarded as hopeful sign, the reported replacement of the Grand Duke Nicholas by General Todleben. If true, it would seem that the Russian Government, as a first step towards the prosecution of peace, intend to put the management of affairs at Constantinople in safe hands. SrockHOLM, April 17.

The truth of the rumors that negotiations had commenced by England with Sweden for the possession of Faro Island (in the Baltic), is positively denied.

Sr. Pererssure, April 17.

Agence Ruse says that the pour parlers appear to be takinga satisfactory turn. The New Free Press learns from Berlin that Russsia may ostensibly agree to England’s demand to submit the entire Treaty to Congress. if this course is adopted, it would show that Russia has agreed with other continental Powers and that England will be isolated in her objections to the

William McLeod, late captain of the Bri- tish brig Childianwallah, who was arraigned at the Bow Street Police Court, March 18th on a charge of Felony in casting away that vessel on the 4th December, on a passage from New York to Antwerp, and remained without bail has been discharged from cus tody in consequence of absence abroad of principal witnesses for the prosecution.

It is thought probable that Friday’s scene in Parliament during the discussion of O’Donnell’s motion, declaring the Govern- ment’s action in regard to Lord Leitrim’s murder was unconstitutional, will lead to a split in the Home Rule party. Several Irish members indignantly repudiated at tacks of O’Donnell and Parnell on the late Lord. The episode has created much bit- ter feeling. It is said its said its instiga- gators intend to raise the question of pri- vileges in consequence of the publication of the proceedings after the clearing of the galleries. ine 2!
