LONDON BRIDGE. Trip, demolition of the most ancient bridge in the metropolis, however necessary for the ern- bellishment aod cooveoieoce of the Cil). cannot fail to excite the regret of 'he antiquary (if the humble and unlearned pedestrian may claim the tille), who, uninterested it) the politics of the Common Council, and unskilled in the subject of their grand debate, still clings with simple fond- ness to 'he reliqtie* and ruios of other days. 1 he fl st notice of the existence of a bndge occurs in the laws uf Ethelred, which fix the tolls of ves seis coming to Billingsgate on ad pontem. Pf o- nant re uai ks that it couid not be prior to when Unlaf tbe Dane sailed up the river as high as Stdine-5 withouf interruption nor yet subse- quent 10 The year tOlG, in which Ijthelted died, and the great Canute, king ol Denmark, *hen he besieEed London, was impeded in his operations hv a bridge, which even at PHil lime ve I)ink ,e i,- course to the following vast expedient. "He ¡ caused a prodigious ditch to be cut on the sooth side of the Thames, at Roiherluthe or iledritf, a little to the east, of Southward, which he conti- nued at the south end of the bridge in form of a semicircle, opening into the western uart of the I' river. Through this he drew his ships, and ef- fectually couiplett-d the blockade ol the cily.— Bii; the valour of the citizens obliged htui 10 laise the siege. Previous to the erection of a bridge, a ferry bad long been established, on or near the site — Some historians assert-that the first sione bridge in London was built or commenced in the reign of (he Empress Maude but during the boister- ous era of her brief dominion, and her incessant struggle for power wiih thai worthy peer King Stephen, it may be supposed she had little lime for beautifying (he err). Pennant and other an tiquaries inform us (hat the Sirs! stone bridge was built in the reign of John, by Peter, curate of St. Mary Coie church, a celebrated architect of that period: it proved the WOIK of thirty-three years, and Peter dying in the interim, was buried in a chapel which he had constructed in one of the piers, in honour ot St. Thonaas. Solidity appears to have been the chief aim of the architeci, and to accomplish this object, all other considerations were disregarded or sacri- ficed. It wOllid be supertluous dcsUWI nn the *ell known defects of ihe foundation of London Bridge they survive to this day. The bflde was crowded with houses, badly constructed, which leaned in a terrific manner, and were con stantly obliged to be propped by timber, which crossed in fr,oixi life roofs. In keep the nuilding together, and to prevent ibem frolll fall- ing into the river. Dlsmiíl, confined residence*, ifii!nerse(i in (lirt and for eer as- sailed by the din ol carls rumbling over (he nar- row pavement, the clamours ol watermen, the rush ot falling wafers, and the frequent shrieks til drowning wretches whelmed in (he cataract below to these horrors were added at intervals thr plagues of fire and pestilence. A confligra- t on burst out on the south west side; 'he bridge was instantly covered with multitudes, who rushed nur of Ihe City to extinguish the finuies. Whilst engaged m this cnamsble office dIe tire seized the other end, and hemmed tit the crowd. Above3,000 pe rsons perished those who escaped the flames weie swallowed by the waves, and the fire above was only less insatiate than the deluge i beneath. Originally there wtre three openings on each side of sbe street, decorated with balus1 rades, HI the passengers a view of the water and "IP shipping. In one of Ih-e a draw bridge wys contrived, uieful either by way of defVnce, cr lor Iff admission of vessels info the upper part of the river ihis was protected by a strong towei, which being well manned and armed, otcasioipd the repii-e of Fauconbridgi- itie Bastard, in 1411 in his wild attempt upon the City a! iue head ol It lawless band!1!i, onder pretence of rescuing the unfortunate Henry VI., at that iime a prisoner in the Tower of London Sixyy oil file bridge were burned in the desperaie aifatk, and no less desperate defence. A second conlfict lo-fk place during 'be ill con- ducted insurrection of Sir Thomas Wyat, in <he reign of Queen Mary, and the check which (hat rush adventurer received in endeavouring to lorce the bridge brought on a series of disasters, which ended it: tiie total ennihi/a'ion of his dis- organized force. So l«te as the year 1393, Hentjsuer, the German traveller, enumerated above thirty heads, which he had counted wiih "patheucal accuracy and Ihe old m*p of the j City, 1597, represents Uirm in a horrible clus ter. We gladly turn front the contemplation of ihis frigb'ful spectacle to the romantic exploit of Kdwaid Osborne, apprentice to Sir William Hewet, cloih worker, "-b,) about the year 1535 was an inhabitant ol one of the perilous houses -)(I (he bridge.

A melancholy lale is also connected with Ihe innals of London Bridge. Atnid the molfi'odes who found a grave in the dangerous abyss which yawns beneath it, one voluntarily sought a rest ing place, oblivion for a spirit d<-rply wounded bl the <n«raii;ude of a friend. The son of Sir William Temple, the bosom councillor of Wil- liam of Na-sau, yet 'he honest adviser of Ins ill- siarred music, James II when h.s father de- clined to tsk** a siirire in ilse new government, accep(ed III office of secie'at v at -r., His ix teres- procured ihe release Cap-«in Hamilton, confined In tlie Tower tor h gh treason, under his promise 'ha fie » ould repair to Ty rconncl, then in firms for K mg James, in.ireiond, and persuade him to submd, Evidfdcps of ihis great work were found in the plate called the Dock Head, at tfedrilf.— When it began, lasrines of and other b ushwood, fa.feIH:d down WIlli ,I"I,!> wefe dis- covered in dtpging tins dock, in 1694 and in olhtr pUIS 01 ¡IS CtHjrst' !¡¡.:èbeell mat wiih, in ditching, lare oaken pianks, and uumbefs of pile*.—Pennant, When arrived in that country, this faithless friend immediately joined the rebels, and fed on a regiment to the atlack of King William's troops. The taunts of rival connjeis the un- fortunate termination of his endeavours to serve his sovereign;, and, above all, It.. sling of that barbed arrow, willed by the hand of one whom he had so loved and trusted, which rankled in his heart, threw him into a profound melancholy, and1 though the king was fully convinced of his inno- cence, he possessed nut fortitude to sustain the mental pang. On the I4sh of April, 1689. he hired a boat on the Thames, and directed the waterman to shont the bridge al (hat instant he flung himself into the cataract, and having filled Ins pockets wiih sicnes to prevent all ehall e of safety, ¡n,¡artt!y SlInk, He left a note in (he boat io explanation of the mo'ive; wh'ch led to his fatal resolution, to this effVci 44 My folly in nndei taking what I -IS unable tn perform has done the king and kingdom a great deal of prejudice I wish him all happiness, and abler servants fhan Jons TKMPIB."

STATE OF C lit ME IN SCOTLAND. THE Lord Justice Clerk, in his usual address to the sheriffs of the counties of Lanark, Renfrew and Dumbarton, at the conclusion of the last Cir- cuit Court held at Glasgow, called their alien- tion, as well as that of the Magistrates of Glas- ,e(,w, to f,)e very alifi)iitiz iiit,re;ise (yf crillll,, ill ihis district of fhe empire. Glasgow circuit have been equated, they have never been surpassed, nor equalled m enormity. The crimes consist ol murder, culpable homicide, aigfavated assaults, fiy means of siabbing, or coinm tied by that atro cious instrument* vitriolic acid of very aggrava- ted c^es of housebreaking, and (>f systematic re set—crimes that show an alteration in the Scot tish character. Instead of being remarkable, coiKinsed his Lordship, for onr »oi>rieiy, our industry, all(j ,)Ur paucity of crime, a charader which we formerly deservedly enjoyed qiid instead of be "I,, like.a part of Scotland, we are become, from the em- ployment nt deadly knives or daggers, or uu. fli;i- bolical use of vitriol, as if we were the ri'ia,M)!, of ato Italian Si-le. I' was vexatious to observe, that while crUlli" was 011 the decrease in Eu^lond' it was on the increase in the West of Scotland At York assizes, which jurisdiction embraces a i lari;e aud populous district, and which are j|)sj tiere were only 36 cases act) |lfn| at the present Circuit Court not less than 0f>. rhe same paucity of crime was observ;,})(e Hl Lancaster Assizes, where there were only beiween 40 and 50. The people of the West of Scotland mice had the character of beins sober t»ut we have |()r H tif.ne lost thif character and it is only by re_ turning to viilaou* habits that we can regain our good chaiacter. H.s Lordship denied .-the- in_ crease of POPUlillõ(;J1 war. the only calle nf II. 'I stale of demoralization. In his o¡¡¡¡¡if)!I, 11 great source of crime in this district is the crowded 41.1e of the g*ol and bridewell of Glasgow, which afford no means oi classlficalion among 111,. p soners, the less guilty beiin-, mixed with nUl more guilty and being thus exposed to corrupt, ing conversation, the increase of crime is the na. lural consequence. He said that he was glad he was making these remarks in the hearing of (hnse who had the power and disposition to remove i)>e evil. The size of fhe gaol is not sufifcient tor the quantity of crime that now exists in this large manufacturing district, as there ( aunot be any demarcation among the prisoners, from the small space it occupies and it is quite obvious that the reqn'i'e care and at'enttoo cannot o bestowed on the prisoners, and there is no doubt !he vicious hahtl. acquired within are coauuuni- ca(e:l to those without. His Lordship, however, bore testimony to the care bestowed on the religious instruction of the prisone's; hll1 declared his firm conviction thai so long as there is no classification among the prisoners, things will not be bettered. The time has now arrive I when an enlargement of thegiJol mll.1 '«)< place. Since the time of erecting the gaol of G asgow, crime had doubled, rny-nearh Mpled in quantify. On the English Circuits the Cou fs sit short hours — so short, that had the judges not sat longer each day at Glasgow, they .ojld not have been able 10 close the business within a fortnight. The county of Kot has <et a noble example, as they have erected a gaol at Maidstone, the expense of which is about £ 200,001)' The gaol his Lordship pointed out as fit for imitation is ihe new gaol of Edinburgh and he remarked that the money, as in that cit), should be raised fiy assessment. He said fhat he had no wish fo recommend an increase of our public burdens, but circumstances rendered it absolutely necessary and there was no jusfice io taking the requisite sum from ihe town funds. In allusion to the utriolic acid and slabbing assaults, his Lordship observed, that if the eon viction at the present circuit did not prove sum cient to pui down these crimes tn Scotland, he was afraid it would be necessary to procure (roul the Legislature all extension of LordEllCntln rough's Act to this part of the empire. His Lordship said it was not the wish of the Judges 10 increase ihe number of capital offences hut if ihcse crimes are continued, his Lordship said he could not insure the country against the above addition,

The remaining fifty a-side to he made good at Randall's on the day fortnight before the battle. This is the most interesting match that could be made with big men of about equal weights. Joshua the lion- lieat-teti is too much famed in combat to tnpnliou mote than his name. Ward is a master of !Hts who has gut a character by losing his reputa- tion in combat wiih Abbot.

In a few days, (u. distinguished a young lady of considersbie personal attractions by Iia attentions, and after the lapse of a week, he an- to her father his wishes of addresses, and gave a reference to Lord Beres- ford who, he said, was shortly coming to Fal- mouth, in order to go hy one of the packets to ListwH. The father, very prudently, declined giving a formal approval, until he had a commu- nicafion from LoitJ Beresford. to whom be wrote immediately. In the mean time, Cap!.
