The City people mean to apply to Parliament for power

to raise funds for the proper repair of Blackfriars Bridge, by means of a toll on the bridge. They tax the whole of Middlesex, and a large .portion of Surry, for the purpose of allowing the citizens to pass free over London Bridge ; and having wasted millions in the con- struction of one bridge, they ask, under pretence of want of funds, to tax the people of Southwark for the support of the other. Where is all this to end?
