As the Danish cc by created a mono poly, it was resolved that neither that line nor any new line from the French coast should be allowed to he connected with the British shores, and the Ad- miralt y officia is were in s t ruc t e d t o cu t : e nv li ne : t h at might be laid down. The new legal advisers of the Crown, Sir R. Bothell and Sir If. S. Keating, were of , opinion, however, that the company were empowered by their charter to land their cables, and that they coulLuot be interfered with until 'the expiration of its term. The 'orders to prevent the landing of cables were therefore rescinded, but the company were informed that the views of the Government were the same as those or their prede cessOrs, and that they would be liable to have t heir cables removed any lime atter July Ist, 1862. This decision was communicated by Lord Russell to M. Wtaewski, who appears to have hoped that the revocation or orders. implied a change of policy. This. correspondence was moved for by Sir S. Northcote, who was, a member of the late Packets and Telegraphic Contracts Committee, by whom, on its re-appointment next session, the - whole matter will be considered,—.Liverpool Albion.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) CAMP IN FRONT OF CEUTA, DEC. 14. The General-in-Chief yesterday rode up to the front and visited some of the redoubts, of which there are now five complete or in course of con struction. The one on the right, first made and most frequently referred to, was only the com mencement of a chain of works extending from near the sea on the side of the Straits (the hill sur mounted by the Casa del Renegade alone interven ing), to the sea on the south of Ceuta—the com mencement of the east coast of Morocco--and form ing a sort of semicircle. From the most advanced redoubt, the, second from the right, upon which a vigorous and determined attack was made on the 9th, one obtain's the best view of the Moorish camp, consisting of very few tents and including a cluster of those white ones which are supposed to be the residence of a General or Sheik. The greater part of the camp is concealed (whatever it may amount to) in rear of a rising ground masking a pass between the mountains. The distance from the redoubt to the tents in sight is about 4,000 metres, a little beyond the range of our rifled four pounders, which would disturb their tranquillity were they 500 metres nearer. The whole of the ground around Ceuta is so irregular in its confor mation that it is difficult to give you a clear idea of it. The redoubts occupy the most prominent points of an imaginary line, and are intended for its de fence when the army shall have moved away to (as every one believes) attack Tetuan. They have all received names ; the one on the right is Isabel 11., that on the left Principe de las Asturias ; the other three respectively, Espana, Francisco de Asis, and Cisneros. On our left, along the coast, lies the way to Tetuan, towards which look our redoubts on that side. Beyond these redoubts the inequalities of the ground are trifling, and soon disappear altogether, the land then sloping gently upwards from the beach as far as Cabo Negro, the first headland to the south of Ceuta. From this headland a chain of hills of no great elevation runs inland, a humble branch of the lofty ranges that form the background of the rugged landscape. The ground beyond that is not visible to us, but we are assured that it is a level plain. It'is the general impression here, on what founded I am unable to say, that no oppo sition from the Moors is to be expected until the army reaches Cabo Negro—the Black Cape. A few days will probably show how far this notion is cor rect, for the whole army is now collected here, with the exception of the cavalry and a portion of the artillery, and as soon as they arrive we expect a move. A sufficient force (probably a division of about 5,000 men) will remain to hold the lines round Ceuta, with which place our communication will have to be kept open. Nobody, I believe, expects that we shall get to Tetuan without a sharp fight upon the way, in which, of course, all persons here predict that the Moors will get a severe thrashing. I know very well that there are persons elsewhere who are of a widely different opinion, the event will show who is right. If we move off with 30,000 fighting men it will be more than I expect, for what with recent fights, cholera, and the very consider able number of men who have received their dis charge since the army came, our strength has been reduced. The Spanish authorities have not thought themselves justified in stretching a point and re tainixg until the end of the campaign, or, at any rate, until their places could be conveniently sup plied, those men whose term of service has expired. Thus nearly 300 men were lately discharged from one regiment alone. Allowing, however, that we start with something like 30,000 men, these are a very small number compared to the force the Moors may bring against them. The opinion of some of the superior officers of this army is, I know, that in a general action, on open ground, the superiority of the Spaniards will make itself immediately and strikingly felt. They say, and not without some ap pearance of reason, that in the sort of warfare they have hitherto had they have laboured under great disadvantages. The Moors, expert bush-fighters, ensconced among foliage and lurking behind trees, have picked off their men, who with difficulty could obtain a sight of their foes. When the latter are deprived of cover it is thought that the superi ority of weapons and discipline will tell powerfully against them, and that they will experience heavy losses. It appears to me that the weather will have a great influence on the fate of the expected con test. With calm, fine weather, the Spanish steamers might not only move along the coast, parallel with the army, protecting it by their fire, but they might take off the wounded in their boats, thus leaving many men to fight who otherwise would be neces sarily engaged in carrying their comrades. The army does not seem as yet very well pleased-with the conduct of the navy in this war. They say that the latter service exhibits neither enterprise nor willingness. Such, at least, is the opinion I have heard expressed by not a few persons. The fact is that the Spanish navy is extremely weak, and nearly the whole of it is engaged in colonial service. It is said to have a well-equipped squadron in the West Indies, and another in the Philippines, but here there seems to be nothing. Two or three gun boats cruise about the coast. and take a shot at any group of Moors they catch sight of (I hear some of them now ;engaged in that diversion); but as for mustering' even a small squadron and seriously co operating with the land forces, we hear no word of such a proceeding. It might prove a most advanta geous diversion if„while the army moves on Tetuan a few Spanish ships attacked Tangier ; but nobody seems to expect that anything of the kind will be done. The Spanish soldiers have been working to good purpose since their arrival in Africa. If they do as well when they conic to a regular battle with rifle and bayonet as they have with spade, pick, and axe they will probably give a good, account of the Moors. They have been making roads and redoubts and felling timber. The cork trees with which the slopes are covered are falling by hundreds under their blows. The redoubts are formed of these, of earth thrown up, and of bags of earth. The way up to the Isabella redoubt, which when I first arrived hero was through trees and over most difficult ground, has been greatly improved by their toil; and they have made a good piece of road over the hills in the direction to Tetuan. Of course, it is a different sort of road from that which was needed in the Crimea, where the passage of carts, horses, and baggage animals was continual. But unless we are visited by alonger period of heavy rains than is usual in this country, it will be ample for all that is required, which is to facilitate the movement of the army upon Tetuan. Since writing the above early this morning some changes have been made in the disposition of the, camp. Ros de Olano's Division,, which had been tented close to Ceuta since its landing, has moved considerably to , the left, establishing itself on one Of the ridges of hills which succeed each other in that direction. W:1 are decidedly extending our line, as it was natural to suppose we should do upon the arrival of so large an addition to our force. The Head•gnarters of the army have also 'changed their ground, advancing a little, and from the rear of their tents, instead of looking down into Ceuta, they have a fine sea view towards Cape Negro. We are rapidly getting more expert in shifting for our selves, and most of the tents were pitched in very quick time. 'I he weather continues fine, the wind moderate, the, sea calm for the season of. the year. But the cold augments sensibly. A week ago, al though there was plenty of damp, there was no difficulty in. keeping oneself warm under canvas. A stretcher to raise one from the ground, a thick coat, and a blanket, were all that could reasonably be required for campaigners. Last night it was very different, and the cold was severely felt, al though unattended by anything like frost. It is a damp and penetrating cold, and in the morning the tents are almost as wet as if it had rained. The contrast between this nocturnal cold and the tempe rature by day, when the sun shines out bright, as at this moment, from a cloudless sky, is trying to many constitutions, and produces illness of various kinds. It iu rain, however, that is most to be feared, and one would put up with a good deal to be en sured the continuance of dry ground and sunny days. The loss in the last affair of the 12th inst. was, as I before mentioned, trifling—seven killed and about 30 wounded. In the former was included a colonel of artillery. In the action of the 9th Colonel O'ltyan, of the Engineers, a Spanish officer of Irish descent, was severely but not dangerously wounded. He will probably be known to many officers of the English Army as one of the four Spanish officers who were attached to Marshal Pelissier's head quarters up to the close of the Crimean war. He subsequently went, as member of another military commission, to watch the operations of the French army in Italy. He is considered one of the most promising officers of his arm in the Spanish ser vice, but his wound is likely to keep him from his duty for some weeks to come. The electric cable which is to unite Tarifa and Ceuta (a piece of old Atlantic cable) arrived here two days ago on board the Tweedside steamer, and will be laid down tomorrow, weather permitting. DECEMBER 15. The post here now leaves at noon, sometimes rather sooner,—at least, that is the hour the mail bags go on board, although the boat sometimes waits till evening for the General-in-Chief's de spatches. There is no manifest reason why the letters should be sent off so early, or why the boat should not start, as a rule, at midnight instead of noon, for the mail for Madrid does not leave Alge siras until 9 in the morning; but such is not the present arrangement. So my letters, unless by an extraordinary chance, will inform you of what has passed only up to 11 a.m. on the day of their date. From all that I can learn and observe, we are likely to remain where we are at least eight or ten days longer. More road has to be made before we can move, and, indeed, if, as I have been assured, all the artillery is to land at Ceuta, it would not surprise me if the delay_were longer, for it will take a good deal of labour to clear the way for the guns. It was reported that for this reason they would be landed somewhere between this and Tetuan. Two or three squadrons of cavalry have already arrived, and the whole may be expected within a very short time. When we have 2,000 horses here, which I understood to be the total number of our cavalry, besides officers' horses, baggage mules, &c:, the amount of transport from Spain required will be very large, and it is possible that at times, espe cially when we move away from here, the supply of rations may not be so regular and abundant as hitherto. Up to this time the commissariat and home administration deserve credit for the manner in which the watts of this army have been sup plied. I have not heard a single complaint of short commons, and have had many opportunities of test ing the quality of the food served out to the soldier, which I have always found excellent. The bread is white and good, the wine, rice, and bacon (the last-named article is served out with potatoes, on some days, in lieu of fresh moat), aro also of ex cellent quality. Coffee and sugar, meat, sometimes fresh, sometimes salt, are the other articles of food distributed ; for the horses, barley and chopped straw. The quantity appears amply sufficient—at least for Spanish soldiers, who are easily contented in that respect. Indeed, in moving about camp, I see symptoms of waste which will probably disap pear when we have been longer here, and are further off from our supplies—fragments of bread and biscuit thrown about, and trains of barley from damaged sacks. Look at it in what way we may, and in spite of the utmost precautions that may and doubtless will be taken, the march of the Spanish army upon Tetuan cannot be viewed otherwise than as a hazar dous enterprise. The distance is seven leagues; on our left we shall ha ve th e sea , on our right a diffi cult country, and a numerons and daring enemy ; our troops are inexperienced in war, and in great part mere recruits. They have hitherto fought well under unfavourable circumstances, but they cannot be considered as proof against panics, and this is the great danger to be apprehended. It is very pos sible, and is firmly believed by many of the supe rior officers here, that the Moors will be found much less formidahle in the open country, where they cannot shield themselves behind trees, than in the wooded hills around Ceuta. The skirmish of the 12th has strengthened this idea. Gen. Prim went out for a reconnaissance, and provoked a fight on ground where there was less cover than the Moors have generally had since the commencement of this war. The enemy lacked support for their long espindar dos, which require a prop for their aim to be at all sure; there was a great deal of fire, and, as you know, very little damage on our side. It is affirmed, also, by an officer who took opportunities of close observation, that the Moors showed an unwilling ness to come on when on open ground. But, al though we have had some thousands of the enemy about 118 here (on the 9th especially they showed in great force), that is nothing in comparison with what we may expect to, see when we take leave of our present lines and move upon Tetuan. Neither is it sure, although it has been reported, that we have as yet had to do with the best of their fighting men. It is generally believed that when the first corps landed and moved out of Ceuta they were op posed only by the warriors of two neighbouring tribes, which together muster barely 2,000 fighting men. Reinforcements soon , came up, and it was on their arrival that the action of the 25th November took place. In the affair of the 9th inst. it is be- lieved that they mustered 8,000 to 10,000 men. There is nothing that I can see to prevent them from bringing 100,000 against us between this and Tetuan. We are already told of a large force of cavalry (20,000 horses aro spoken of) encamped in rear of the mountains in our front, and awaiting our forward movement. Now, if we muster 30,000 com batants, exclusive of those who must be left behind, it will be the very outside. The numerical dispropor tion between this small. army and the host that may be expected to oppose us is enormous, and must be compensated, if compensated it is to be, not only by the superiority of discipline and weapons, but also by the most unflinching courage and per fect steadiness on the part of the Spaniards. The least confusion or giving way in a single brigade, or even a battalion might have the most fatal con sequences. Among young troops it would be almost sure to spread, and a great disaster would probably ensue; especially if, as is probable, the Moors, upon our march, menace - our rear as well as our front. General O'Donnell is believed by his friends and fol lowers to be a man of resource and an able General,. and he will need all his skill, however great that may he, under the circumstances is which he will shortly find himself placed. If this were a veteran army of tried soldiers I should have little doubt as to the result. Upon a strong artillery and steady infantry an irregular army like that of the Moors could make small impression, however numerous. We have heard talk of Moorish "regulars," but strong doubts exist whether this means anything more than the standing 'army, while the occasional, levies lately called out are designated as irregulars. I was told last night that there yet are hopes that the Spanish navy may prove useful in the approach ing operations.

It is the intention of the Government to place the large naval .establishments and dockyard at Chatham in a thorough state of defence, in accord ance with the report of the Royal Commissioneri on the National .Defences. The present defence less state of Chatham dockyard has not been over looked by the Commissioners, and in accordance with their recommendation several important works for the better security of that establishment are to be undertaken. As Chatham dockyard, is only liable to an attack from the sea, the land side being comparatively well defended by the fortifications and other works of defence connected with the gar rison, several extensive batteries will be erected on the eastern side which at present is much exposed and in a decidedly unprotected state. As there is abundance of convict labour always employed in the dockyard and on the other public works in pro gress, it is proposed that the convicts should be employed in running up a range of batteries against the river front, to be mounted with long-range Armstrong guns to sweep the entrance to the port stud dockyard. The value and excellence of con vict labour have already been proved at Chatham by the strong sea-wall which has been erected round St. Mary's Island, adjoining the dockyard, which has been in progress the whole of the sum mer, and is now nearly completed, a large tract of, land having been recovered from the ravages of the sea by convict labour alone. This' will also be mounted with guns of heavy calibre so as to guard that portion of the dockyards The famous strong hold of Upnor Castle, on the opposite side -of the harbour, and directly foging Chatham dockyard, which was erected by Qiiiien Elizabeth for the de fence of that establishment, has been allowed to fall into comparative decay, and is now only used as a powder magazine. This is to be mounted with guns of the heaviest metal, which will be so placed as to sweep the river in all directions, and if pro perly manned would completely annihilate any hostile fleet that might succeed in passing the guns from the batteries at Sheerness, and also those to be erected between the two ports. When the whole of the contemplated works have been erected Chat ham dockyard, from being the least protected, will be one of the best defended of the naval establish ments of the kingdom. The screw frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. E. W. Van sittart, having completed her coaling, has pro ceeded from Saltpan Reach to the Nore, to adjust compasses, after which she will proceed from Sheer ness to Portsmouth' to await her sailing orders: She has succeeded in obtaining the greater part of her crew. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Henry Callaway, paymaster to the Alacrity; and Norcott D. E. Roberts, clerk to the Cumberland. TILE ENGLISH AND FRENCII TELEGB4PII - SYSTEM. • _ There has just been issued a Parliamentary paper containing the correspondence between the various Government departments and the Subma rine Telegraph Company, on the subject of the con vention between that company and the French Go vernment. It commences with an application to the Foreign-office from the Electric and International Telegraph Company to prevent the rival company from obtaining from the French Government an extension of th exclusive concession of conveying messages to the coast of France. This was iu July, 1856, when Lord Cowley had repro scrnted to M. Billault the injury to British inte rests resulting from the monopoly, and obtained a promise that the concession should not be exclu sively extended beyond its then existing term. Against this interference, which resulted as M. B ji had promised, the Submarine Company remons trated in January, 1857, and reminded Lord Cla rendon that the British Government had, a month or two before, confirmed the exclusive privileges granted by the Provincial Government of New foundland to the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The Treasury on the faith of the Submarine Company's representations that the French Government wished to renew the concession, and had only refrained from doing so in deference to Great Britain advised the withdrawal of Lord Cowley's protest ; but, on a counter statement being made by the latter, they appear to have altered their mi n ds, an d the matter tested until September, 1858, when the French Government were again willing to renew the monopoly of the Submarine Com pany for thirty years. *The Electric and Interna tional Company again made representations on the subject to the Foreign-office, and Lord Malmesbury instructed Lord Cowley again to remonstrate with the French Government. Count Waleswki acknow ledged the justice of the complaint, but could only, in confidence, lay before the British Minister a copy of the convention, promising to convey to the pro per quarter any comments he might desire to make. Lord Cowley's representations were without effect, however, though repeated to the Emperor in a per sonal interview; but, in conseauence of th3M, it was proposed by the French Government to modify the convention, so as partially to meet the views of the English Government, if the Submarine Company would surrender their exclusive concession, which had still four years to run. This the company were not willing to do, and on the Ist of Feb., 1859, the convention appeared in the llfoniteur, having been signed a month previously , of which fact Lord Cowley was ignorant until h e saw it in the official journal. By this convention etnhdeirvprenacthwGilolvern ment has the power of susp , tele graphic communication between the two countries ; and its despatches, and those of its agents in foreign countries, arc to have priority over private mes sages. So prejudicial did the late Government con sider this convention to the interest of Great Bri tain that it was resolved to use every means of frus trating it, and the opinion of the law officers of the crown was taken as to the power of the crown over the foreshore as regards its use for the lav ing of electric cables. The °pillion Of Sir F. Kelly and Sir IL M. Cairns was, that the crown had power to prevent the laying of any cable below low-water mark within British territory, and be tween high and low-water mark in all cases where the foreshore has not passed from the Crown into the hands of individuals. They - thought, also, that the Crown had power to remove cables already laid, but would not advise its exorcise in the case of the Submarine Telegraph Company until the charter granted Ito it had expired. The com pany were informed of this opinion, and that they would not be allowed to lay any further cables without the sanction of the Crown ; and in structions in this spirit were forwarded to the offi cers of the coast guard, and to the receiver of the Land Revenues of the Crown in the Channel Isles. Shortly after this notification the company obtained a concession from Denmark, and made an offer We have once more toadvert to the monster folly of the nineteenth century. It is now understood that our Government perceives the wisdom of leav ing a project so insane to the fate and the ridicule which inevitably await it. It was their opinion alone which gave it any importance, and by excit ing, the national prejudices of France, enabled the projectors to raise funds which they never could have got without it. Let us for moiueut glance at the scheme which littoestirred z _e bile of Fiance, and obtained the patronage of fire European nations ; those only who from their experience, ara the best judges of such work, and who have the deepest interest in the shortest cut to the Indies—England and Holland ---vvitholding their approbation. The project is to cut a ship canal 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep over 90 miles of flat sand. The canal is to have a double pier running six miles into the Mediterranean through the mud of the Nile, and a similar one of four miles running into the Red Sea. As the Medi toucan and the Red Sea are of the same level, the canal Will be near 30 feet below the level of both; and hence it will be a stagnant, and in all likelihood a pestilential ditch. To prevent the sandy sides of the canal from falling in, it must be cased with stone throughout, and to prevent the sands of the Desert from blowing in to it, a double parapet several feet in height must be erected along its whole length.- The casing of the canal, the parapets and the piers in the two seas, will embrace stone-work to the length of 200 miles, and this does not include a project dock at the middle of the canal, and a couple of locks. But for this mighty undertaking there is no available stone in Egypt, and the pro jectors,themselves tell us that it must be imported from Arabia Petra and the Isle of Cyprus. Six millions sterling is the estimate of the pro jectors for the completion of the canal, and the late Robert Stepenson—and who could be abetter judge ? —was of opinion that three times that amount would be inadequate. Supposing it, however, com pleted by some miracle, to keep it clear of weeds would require whole herds of buffalos, after the fashion of the canal of the Pontine marshes, while on the side of the Mediterranean a perpetual dredg ing must be carried on to prevent the silted mud of the Nile from choking it up. To enter the narrow canal from the Mediterranean in bad weather will be a standing danger, but let us suppose all obstacles overcome, and a ship in her outward voyage to have run the gauntlet of the canal, she gets into the Red Sea, and before she clears it she has, if a sailing ship, to make a voyage of 400 , miles, the most dangerous known to the underwriters of Lloyd's. We have before us the actual rates of insurance effected on ships carrying cargoes of coals from England to Suez, to Aden, and to Bombay. The insurance on the Suez voy age is 12 guineas per cent., while that on the Bom bay one, more distant by near 2,000 miles, is but five guineas. The insurance on the Aden voyage, short of that to Bombay by 1,00 miles, is as high as that to the latter place, because it is close to the entrance of the dangerous Red Sea. That narrow sea, owing to baffling winds and dangers along both its coasts, is safe only for steam ships which can keep mid-channel. The Canal Company, therefore, will have to maintain a huge establish ment of steam-tugs, part stationed at Suez, and part somewhere about the Straits of Babelmandeb. The charge which the projectors propose to levy for the use of the canal is 10s. a ton, which, we believe, is equal to at least one-seventh of the present out ward freights to Bombay, and to a fourth of the homeward ones, which we see by the Indian news papers is at present but 40s. a ton. But to this has to be added the charge for tugs for 400 miles. The mere interest on the projector's estimate of the cost of the canal, or £60,000,000, will amount at six per cent., the lowest rate at - which the Pasha of Egypt and the Sultan can borrow, to £360,000, while Mr. Stephenson's estimate could make it ex ceed a million, the latter a sum which it would re quire the transit of above two millions of tons of shipping to defray. If a tonnage equal to the whole sailing tonnage of the United Kingdom and its co lonies, which little exceeds 5,000,000 tons, were to pass yearly though the Suez Canal, the gross produce would amount to no more than £2,500,009, a sum that would assuredly not suffice to cover the cost of making, repairing, working, and paying a profit on this monstrous undertaking. In the meanwhile, the railway would be a serious rival, for all gold, silver, and a great deal of raw silk and other goods of great value and small bulk, are conveyed by it, and would continue to be so. The Suez Canal will be begun, but never com pleted, or half•completed. Its wreck, as useless as the Pyramids, but far less interesting, will, like the pyramids, be exhibited to posterity, probably under the name of the " French Folly." Supposing it, however, by some unhoped-for miracle to be finished, assuredly no work of man in the world will equal it in magnitude and worthlessness, except the Chi nese wall, built 2,000 years ago by laborious but miscalculating barbaritms.—Exantiner. GREAT SPANS IN RAILWAY BRIDGES The - widest single span of any railway bridge in the world is that of the Niagara Suspension Bridge, connecting the American and Canadian Railways at Niagara Falls. The clear span is 822 ft. A still wider span—one of I,224ft—is being constructed for carrying the Lexington and Danville Railway at an elevation of 300 ft over the Kentucky river, in the United States. The next widest spans are those of the Britannia-bridge, 460 ft each. Then come the two great spans of the Saltash-bridge, of 455 ft each. The next great railway span is that of the Conway bridge, of 400 ft. The next is the immense bridge carrying the Royal Eastern Prussian Railway over the Vistula at Dirschau. This is an iron lattice bridge, having six spans of 397 ft Sin each. The Nogat-bridge, on the same line, has two iron lattice spans of 321 ft, and one span of 53ft Gin. The great railway bridge recently opened at Cologne has four lattice spans of 344 ft 6in each. The openings of the railway bridge at Kehl will bvearly as wide. The middle opening of the great Victoria-bridge at Mon treal is 330 ft wide, the other 24 openings being each 242 ft. The Chepstow-bridge has a span of 306 ft, besides three side spans of 10eft each. The Boyne Viaduct has one lattice span of a clear width of 264 ft, and two side spans of 138 ft Bin each. The Newark Dyk e-bridge,t he largest example of Warren's trussed girders, has a span of 240 ft Gin. Several of the tubular bridges erected by E. Gouin and Co., of Paris, over the Garonne, the Lot, the Tarn, &c., have spans of 80 me tres,bbAorb lcde rgo o dei r er e2danGet girders to; rnf o The eatthiceol S inet p aoßr e n y a Vi hasl spanwi a a d yo u t sp f an p o o3 n ano ns t f oet consists nt. 102, s rh - 2 ; a • n r tEabsi tubular l n hao d erf greatest timber span in a railway bridge, and now • indeed the widest timber span in existence, is one of 275 ft, that of the Cascade-bridge on the New York and Erie Railway in the United States. The Market-street (highway) Bridge, formetly crossing the Schuylkill, at Philadelphia, U.S., had a timber span of 340 ft ; whilst a timber span of 390 ft, the widest ever attempted in that material, was con structed by John Grubenmann over the Limmat, in Germany, in 1794, and was burnt shortly after wards by the French troops. Railway bridges with timber spans of 250 ft are not uncommon in the United Sates The great railway bridge across the Mississippi river at Rock Island has five timber spans of 250 ft each, besides three other s of 150 ft. The bridge by which the Ohio .and Mississippi Railway crosses the Great Miami River his five timber spans of 250 ft each ; and another railway bridge, having two timber spans of 260 ft each, crosses the Delaware River near Port Jervis, State of New York. The widest masonry span ever erected for railway purposes is one of 180 ft, carry ing the Glasgow and South-Western Railway over the river Ayr. The new railway bridge being car ried across the Thames at Pimlico will have four cast-iron arelis of 175 ft each, the widest cast-iron spans, we believe, yet employed for railway pur poses. The six spans of the celebrated High LeN (i Bridge at Newcastle are but 125 ft each in width. —The Engineer.
