NEW BRIDGE. The inhabitants of Adelaide in general, and particularly merchants and other gentlemen whose interests require them frequently to com-municate with Port Adelaide, are earnestly re-quested to aid in defraying the cost of a strong temporary bridge across the Torrens, the con-struction of which was commenced five weeks since, and might be completed in seven days from this time if sufficient funds were forthcoming. One hundred and twenty pounds have been already expended on the work, and it is estimated that a further sum of about one hundred pounds will be necessary to complete the bridge in a satisfactory manner. An application has been made on the subject to his Excellency the Resident Commissioner, who has consented to allow one half of the whole ex-pence of the bridge to be defrayed from the public funds, provided that the colonists will raise among themselves the remaining sum of one hundred and ten pounds. It is of great importance that the work, the progress of which is now interrupted in conse-quential want of funds, should be completed as soon as possible, in order that the bridge may be in a passable state before the river becomes swollen by heavy rains. Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Australia and of South Australia by J. B. Hack, J. Walker, and Charles Flaxman, Esqrs; and at the Printing office of Messrs. Thomas and Co., Hindley Street Adelaide, June 13, 1839. THE TOWN CLOCK. The arrangements for setting the Town Clerk going having been completed, the public are informed that the subscriptions already re ceived are totally nadequate to meet the expences incurred. It is hoped that this statement will be sufficient to induce such persons ? have had already subscribed to do so without delay Subscriptions will be thankfully needed by the Rev. C.
