NOItLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. — It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious i t 'tele of diet first made its ace; and already 8 c elebri animal ty is world-wide. It has been a eara s n ubject of wonder, 'o.' l has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been teuglit about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts ~neerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, ~entlenian wrote, stating- that he had a horse which was a t he bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to g et , animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some ())& rhorlev's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. ,The 'urge rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had Rained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late a,ri cifitural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which i:YaiTied off the hioliest prizes had been partly fed with Thor -8 food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we rrpm fOrced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can w r pceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those 11 have tried it.

The action of the drama is consistent throughout ; and every English man and woman, who appreciates civil and religious liberty, may study this play with much advantage : their sentiments can not fail to be elevated ; their notions on many points must be modified; and they will receive a lesson in the power of the English language, used iu Saxon fashion, which is not often met with in these days.

The banquet of the Lord Mayor to celebrate the greatest triumph of modern science, which came off last night, and which was to have gathered round the civic board men of all creeds and parties, has, for very simple reasons, upset Lord Eglinton's popularity with the Roman Catholic party. Car dinal Wiseman has done it all. His untimely ar rival in Dublin has been the herald of a politico religious storm, of which, now that it has been raised after ft long lull, no one can foresee the end. In order to understand clearly the situation of the belligerents it is better to let the eaves belli be narrated by the Freeman's Journal, up to this very morning a generally warm and disinterested sup porter of the policy of the Viceroy since his arrival in Ireland :---:: " During the-past few days we have observed a scrupu lous silence regarding the various rumours that were afloat with reference to the strange course which it was said Lord Derby's representative in. Ireland was about to adopt with reference to the Mansion-house banquet. It will be remembered that the fashionable announcements' some weeks ago informed the public that his Excellency had fixed the Ist of September as the day on which it would be most convenient for ma to be present at the banquet de signed by the Lord Mayor as a just tribute to the genius and perseverance of Mr. Mg-ht. His Excellency had, in fact, fixed the day. Rtunour within the past week hinted that because the Lord Mayor had extended his hospitalities to a man whose genius and acquirements have a i chieved for him as high a position in the world of letters and of arts as his N ;qIICS and learning have marked him out as fit to hold in the Church of which he is so distinguished an orna ment, the Tory Viceroy would decline an invitation. No question was in issue as to precedence, as to the order of the toasts, or as to the character of the toasts. If there Ivsts, some excuse might be made for the over-sensitiveness of Lord Eglinton. But no such point was even hinted at. The judgment and discretion of the Lord Mayor were ample security against any cause being giveneven. for doubt on such matters. Indeed, it is but right to say that no doubt was even suggested, and the sole cause given for the studied and ostentatious absence of Lord Eglinton was the presence of the Cardinal, and the unwillingness of a mem ber of Lord Derby's Goverrment to sit publicly at the same board with a Prince of the Church, because he also hap penedto be the Archbishop of Westminster. Webelieve there is not on record an instance of such paltry bigotry as this. It is said that Lord Eglinton was not personally afraid to encounter the 'red cloak,' and that he wrote for orders to the other side. It is also said that the orders were of the most peremptory character. But, whatever may be the truth of these tumours, tha - fact is, that immediately after his arrival from the north, Lord Eglinton intimated to the Lord Mayor his determination to be absent in a manner that left no doubt as - to the real notive ; and it is also equally clear that this procedure was perfectly in keeping with the whole tenour of his political career. It w ill be remembered that when a Bill was introduced by the Marquis of Lans downe in 1848, to enable the Queen to carry on diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome as with all other foreign Courts, Lord Eglinton took a prominent part in defeating that rational measure, which would have substituted open dealing for the base intrigues alleged to be carried on by English agents for the purpose of misleading opinion at Rome. The manner in which Lord Eglinton defeated the bill showed at once his dexterity and his early hatred to wards ecclesiastics of the Church of Rome." The banquet, the source of so much discord, was nevertheless well attended by men of all parties, the Cardinal being, of course, the undisputed lion of the evening. It is, however, stated that, in addition to the Lord-Lieutenant, the Chancellor, the Lord Justice of Appeal, and many other pub lic functionaries, as well as many gentlemen of high social position, who had accepted the Lord Mayor's invitation, felt constrained to absent themselves in consequence of the expected presence of Cardinal Wiseman. After the preliminary loyal toasts had been drunk, the Lord Mayor—himself a zealous but extremely moderate Roman Catholic— rose to propose the health of the Lord-Lieutenant. He said : " I have the honour of proposing ' The Health of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,' whose absence this even ing I exceedingly regret. (Hear.) On a former occasion it was also my good fortune to have to propose the health of his Excellency's predecessor, and to refer to the.many claims upon the people of Ireland which the Earl of Carlisle pos sessed for the warm-hearted zeal and untiring ability with which he studied to promote the prosperity of this country —(loud applause)—and I cannot more adequately or more sincerely express the sentiments of respect and esteem which we must all entertain for his Excellency the Earl of Eglinton: than by saying that since his accession to his presmt high office he has exhibited no less warm a zeal, and no less earnest a desire to promote every useful and practical undertaking which can conduce to the general good and prosperity of Ireland." (Renewed applause.) The health of Mr. Charles Bright and his sci entific associates having been given amid loud cheers, and responded to by Mr. Bright, " His Eminence Cardinal WISEMAN, who on rising was received with loud and protracted cheering, said, —My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, —I have presumed to rise almost against the remonstrance of my Lord Mayor, assuming to myself the privilege of proposing to you his health, which I think should take precedence now of every other considera tion. (Applause.) It would ill become me to expatiate upon his excellent qualities or his civic virtues, because I have had such comparatively slender opportunities of be coming acquainted with them compared with those which you who surround me enjoy, that the most I could have done would have been to endeavour to echo those sentiments which you already entertain from what some of you may in your kindness have communicated to me. I consider that the fact of his presiding this evening, and of his hav ing been raised by his fellow-citizens to the very highest civic position which could be the object of ambition to any one in his position to attain—the fact of his having been raised to the chief magistracy of the capital city of this portion of the empire, speaks forcibly as to his merits, and at once proclaims your high opinion of him. (Loud ap plause.) At the same time, lam glad to find, since I en tered this room, that our acquaintance is not merely of this evening. Though he has entertained me this evening in common with many others with so much splendour, it ap pears that many years ago I had the advantage of being his host. Among the Tusculam hills, in a sweet and lovely recess, which many who are near me have often enjoyed, he was good enough to be as one of our own little commu nity—a youth himself, mingling among the youth of that day (I am sorry to say that we are no longer such)—and he reminds me that he was then associated within our humble collegiate walls with two men that I consider it a pride to have been at any time connected with—the two illustrious cardinals, Pacca and Gregorio. (Applause.) I therefore feel that I have this evening renewed that loving bond of hospitality, and that familier tie which in ancient times was indissoluble, and which, once enjoyed, was ex pected to continue through life ; and I think myself happy in having the opportunity of renewing those early relations of friendship. (Hear, hear.) If it would be presumptuous in me to speak of those personal qualities that belong to your estimable chairman, there can be no impropriety in my alluding to those more public and general circumstances which I think we may well congratulate ourselves on being probably the future characteristics of this his civic reign. (Hear, hear.) I have been travelling—not indeed through the whole length, but at any rate through the entire breadth of this island, and I think this year we shall be especially blessed by the hand of Providence with what must be considered among the greatest of the wants and the blessings of this island—an abundant harvest and an untainted nourishment. (Hear, hear.) This will, I trust, be one happy retrospect of his mayoralty in Dublin. And further, I have approached sufficiently near the shores of the West to have almost caught distant sight of the steamer which, parting from this coast, went forth as another of those messengers which have been despatched with such enterprise, and I trust with such success, to vin dicate the geographical place of Ireland on the map of the world. (Applause.) For if in the olden time she was considered the Ultima Thule,' as the last place in the race of nations, she is now the foremost, the avant garde of Europe, in its advancement towards the great continent of the West ; and if her craggy shores have been the very spur and buttress which Europe has thrown out against the roaring Atlantic Ocean, it is likewise the nearest point from which Europe can stretch across to grasp the hand of friendship with that great and increasing world. (Great applause.) But still more has his Lordship reason to con gratulate himself that his year of office has been signalised by the accomplishment of that great enterprise of which he has so admirably spoken, and which has procured for us this evening one of the most admirable specimens of simple and modest eloquence--(applause)—that really unassuming and truthful narrative which has told us so much that we were unacquainted. with, at the same time that it has been disencumbered of all that could be personal or presumptu ous—(hear)—and has advanced tenfold in our estimation— that which we had in our hearts allotted to Mr. Bright. (Applause.) It is difficult, after what has been said, to return again to the subject ; but you will pardon me if I indulge in a few reflections suggested by this wonderful work. Hitherto there seems to have been above earth but little or no obstacle to the enterprise of man ; and yet PM has often been /milked in his attempts to pass frem oar) t.) another. In his panting impatience to communicate with his fellow-man wherever he might be found, or in obedience to that supreme • law which commands him to go forth and people the earth, he has endeavoured to track his way to its remotest regions ; he has dived into the darkest of its valleys, and there groped his way amid the stones of the torrent to create a path be yond the chains of mountains that seemed to shut him in. He has climbed as high as it was possible for all his breath less vigour to bear him, until atlength he came to the snow built pyramids on the summit of the mountain or the im passable glacier, and then he turned his flank, and with wonderful perseverance he made his way into the opposite region ; but who ever thought till now of at once plunging into the very depths of the ocean, without the power of seeing a single step beyond him, almost beyond the power of the fathoming line to reach, to a depth, as we have been told, as great as the height of the highest mountains ex plored by a few above the earth ? And then he had ven tured to trace his path, and had stretched it, without de viation, and without yielding, to the most formidable obstacles. He has made that path to bury itself deep into the very undermost of the valleys of that unseen region ; he has made it to ascend its steepest paths—to cross its highest mountains—to pass- down again, and then, by an effort of perseverance, the like of which the world has never witnessed, the two continents have been moored safe to one another—mooked so safe by this little metallic hawser as no other power—no amount of inky blots and rotten parchment bonds, or protocols or treaties could ever have done. (Loud cheers.) And what is the result of this ? Why, the Greek used to boast of his fire, which would burn under the sea, and which, attached to the keel of a ship, would destroy it in the midst of the ocean ; and we know how the power of electricity has been similarly employed to explode mines high into the air and cause the sacrifice of hundreds of human lives. But this little spark which we are now send z isitt*er24,Hke oceaa—this flash of lightning which passes from shore to shore—this fire which burns there inextin guishably, may be truly considered, if it were not too sacred an - e:pression to use—to be the bond of that love and that charity between the two nations of which the sacred text says, that ' Many waters shall not extinguish it, and many floods shall not overwhelm it.' (Cheers.) Yes ; I have no hesitation in saying that it is time now for the Ameri can eagle to let go those lightnings which it is repre sented as grasping in its talons, and let them drop into the ocean, and they will cross it safely and come to us, not accompanied with any manner of thunder, but speak ing the words of softness and of peace. (Hear, hear.) While this graver aspect of things comes naturally to the mind, there is one which presents itself to me that I cannot forbear to linger on with more of tenderness and love. I can imagine a poor mother in the west of Ireland—a poor Galway or Mayo peasant, who had sent her stalwart sons, the promise of her old age, far away as emigrants to those distant regions to gather the gold, not what nature has cast broadcast onihe land, but that which honest industry reaps from it ; and I can imagine her, when perhaps the day of her widowhood has come, sitting .on the farthest crag that juts into the Atlantic, no longer contemplating that waste of waters as a desolate wilderness which separates her from those she loves, but as a means of instant communication with them, as a way of making known to them her joys and distresses, and of receiving back in a few hours words of consolation and of promise. It will unite the hearts of many now estranged, and, .though it may look rather chimerical to consider instances of this individual reciprocal communication as of frequent or of common every-day oc currence, yet it will sweeten the bitterness of separation, and make emigration no longer exile. (Applause.) It will prevent the severing of one from the other resulting in a loss of kindred feeling, and it will renew the affections of life. (Applause.) When those who are in Canada, in the wastes of the north, or buried in the forests of the west, know day by day how the sun is shining or the earth is look ing in their own native land—when they know, as if they were on the spot, what measures of improvement are before the Legislature and before the people ; when they know, on the other hand, that at home all the prospects of their adopted country are known—the promises of the harvest, the state of commerce, and the improvements of society, and that, in fact, the communication between the two countries is no longer a matter of weeks, or of months, as formerly, but of days and hours—a much closer bond of union will be formed than was imagined by thoSe persons who believed that, by looking at the same sun, or moon, or star at the same hour, they were brought into communicationwith one another. It is therefore a matter of great pride that this island has been chosen by Divine Providence as the means of this most happy communication—of this binding of na tions and worlds in bonds which we may ;trust will be of irrevocable and indissoluble peace. It is no small pride for it to have seen the most splendidly successful application of the most magnificent of those gifts of science and genius which God has given for a blessing and an honour to this age ;that after so many yeak of sorrow and • suffering, of calamities of every sort, of famine and disease, • this glory should ImveLheen givenas a rec to this nobleland. (Cheers.) I congratulate you t e pee :ou have this evening united and associated with the noble engineer who has per formed an act so truly honourable to the whole nation ; and that this has been done under the auspices of your Lord Mayor, to whom has been appropriately reserved the honour of celebrating in a public manner this great achievement. (Loud applause.) If this great and wonderful occurrence, which has taken place under his civic magistracy, may ha considered accidental, the having united us here—the noble and elevated thought of bringing so many gentlemen of name, family, and high character to do homage to the genius that has wrought this great work—is his own idea, for which he is justly entitled to credit. (Hear.) I there fore propose his health, and, though I suppose one cannot wish him a longer duration of his present honours—(a laugh)—at least let us hope that he may have many years to enjoy to look back upon the present time. (Loud and protracted cheering.) " The health of the Lord Mayor was drunk most cordially. " The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. "After a short pause, " The Lonn MAYOR again rose, and in proposing the next toast said, —I have the honour to propose the health of a distinguished guest whose name is inscribed upon the roll of the illustrious celebrities of this age, and \ whose exertions in the cause of science and progress have met with a grateful recognition from men of all creeds in the country of his adoption. (Cries of Hear, hear.') I consider myself fortunate in having the honour of his presence on an occasion like the present, which owes its origin to a wonderful scientific triumph, which must materially assist in advancing still more the great cause of civilisation, and in promoting peace and goodwill among Men, to the ad vancement of which so many years of his life have been energetically devoted. (Applause.) I should be doing great injustice, both to myself and the eminent Cardinal to whom I refer, if I did not convey my sincere conviction that his philanthropy embraces all mankind, and his great and suc cessful exertions in the cause of social improvement have ever been directed toward the general public good. (Loud applause.) Nearly a quarter of a century since he accorded to me, in a foreign land, the rit es o f h os pit a lity. I feel hon oured at seeing him here to-night, and of having this op portunity of paying my respect to the great talent which produced that remarkable work, 4 The Connexion between Science and Revealed Religion.' I have the honour to propose The Health of his Eminence, Cardinal Wisenian.' (Loud applause.) 7 - " The toast was received with cordial and prolonged applause. "His Eminence, the Cardinal, rose amid loud applause, and said, My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, my first duty is very simple, for I do not see that I can do more than thank you with all my heart for your kindness in drinking my health. Your Lord Mayor was kind enough to invite me before I came to Ireland, understanding that I was about to make a tour here, to partake of his hospitality to day, and I accepted the invitation with pleasure, because I thought it was due to an invitation from one who repre sented so worthily a noble city, towards which I could not but feel the greatest respect, and for the charities of which it would be my anxious desire to labour. • (Hear, hear.) I accepted it, also, because my knowledge of him personally showed he was deserving of any mark of regard it was in my power to pay him. (Applause.) I have no rea son to regret that on receiving it lat once cheerfully ac ceded to his invitation, and I can answer for myself that it has procured for me an exceedingly interesting, and, hope, a profitable evening. (Hear, hear.) I have heard with the greatest pleasure what has been said, and I shall return, I am sure, leeply impressed with the noble manner in which the duties of the Mansion-house are discharged in this metropolis. (Applause.) I have, of course, no preten sion to dive deeper into its mysteries than those which have been unveiled to us--(cries of Hem,' and laughter)—but I can truly say, and you will join me in the statement, that if all the performances expected from the Lord Mayor are conducted in the same agreeable and substantial manner as those of this evening, I am sure he will be a most transcen dentally good chief magistrate. (Laughter and applause.) I have nothing more to say than what the Lord Mayor has been !good enough to say of roc is true, as to the exist ence of my earnest wishes fur the welfare of this country. (Hear.) I have never had anything more at heart than to exert whatever slender abilities or means of improvement Providence has been pleased to bestow upon me for the pur pose of vindicating the truth of His revelation, and of ap plying so much of science as came within my limited range towards the defence of His most exalted truths. (Applause.) If I have at all succeeded in this—if, through divine Provi dence, I can pretend to the accomplishment of good, how ever small, by means of my poor attaintments and limited powers, as well as by the unmerited position I fill, I feel it my duty to say that, whatsoever the advantages may be, I lay them, after offering my tribute of them to the Almighty Giver, at the feet of Ireland." (Loud and prolonged ap plause.) A number of other toutfr—including the Trans- atlantic Packet-statiorr,in connection with the name of Mr. Lever-.---were gt yen and replied to. After which the Lord Mayor, - the Cardinal, and. company generally, left the ba millet chamber and pro ceeded to the drawing-room, where several intro ductions to his Eminence took place. He was soon after conducted by the lord Mayor, Lord Bellew, Siv James Power, several members of the corpora tion, &c., to his carriage. His Eminence was loudly cheered by a b trge crowd of persons who had remained outside the. Mansion-house till that time (near midnight.) in file hope of catching a glance of him. A piece of the Atlantic cable, neatly bound up with brass ferules, was laid on the tables beside the plate of each guest, to whom it was presented as an - appropriate souvenir of this interesting fes tivity. On a small brass label fastened round the cable were inscribed these words :—" Part of the Atlantic Submarine Telegraph Cable, manufactured by Messrs. Glass, and. Co." GALWAY AND AMFItICA. The telegram has already informed you of the arrival of the Prince Albert in the waters of Galway Bay, after a passage of only 10 days across the Atlantic. The following account of the voyage from New York is not without interest : " GALWAY, Wednesday Night.—l have already advised you by telegraph of the successful trip which the Prince Albert has just accomplished between New York and this port—a trip which every impartial man must confess esta blishes in the most satisfactory manner the great benefits which trade and commerce must derive from the enterpris- dd and Le New cargo of the Prince Albert is of a miscellaneous character, but she has on board no less than 280 tons of wheat--the prodtee of this season—being the first new wheat shipped from America this year. The cargo is 1,007 tons dead weight, and the passengers numbered 251, of whom 87 were first-class. The Prince Albert slipped her moorings at pier No. 44 at 1 o'clock on Saturday, the 21st of August, but she had not proceeded far down the river when she was overtaken by several small steamers having on board depu tations from the several Irish societies of the city, who came to wish the good ship' God speed. The interest taken in the sailing of the vessel was most remarkable, and Captain Waters was as remarkable in the courtesy and attention he extended to all his numerous visitors. This proceeding delayed the Prince Albert some time, and she did not take her departure from Sandy Hook until half-past 5 o'clock in the evening of the 21st of August. While she was dropping down the river she received no less than 50 passengers on board who had not previously engaged their passages. This fact satisfactorily illustrates the favour in which the Irish line is held, and this is further developed by the fact that no less than 14 passages were engaged in New York before the Prince Albert left for persons in this country, and who are to sail by her on her outward voyage on the 14th inst. Having left New York on the 21st ult., at half-past 5 o'clock in the evening, the Prince Albert was abreast of Halifax in 47 hours, but owing to the prevalence of heavy fogs she did not put into the harbour, and by this untoward circumstance we are deprived of two days' later news from New York ; for had the Prince Albert been enabled to enter Halifax 47 hours after lea ing New York, she would, of course, have received, per telegraphf the latest news from that city, and thus she would have brought intelligence, commercial and political, down to the 23d of August instead of the 21st ; and I now—the Ist of Sept.— would be communicating to your readers American news only eight days old. During the voyage from Halifax there was a continuance of light airs, and the Prince Albert had to steam the entire way without the aid of canvas until the morning of the 31st, when a strong gale from the S.W. sprang up, accompanied by a heavy rolling sea. This, in some measure, prevented the Prince Albert coming to her anchorage in this harbour until. the following morning. She arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning, and has com pleted her trip from Halifax to this in 7 days 231 hours ; and from New York to Galway in 9 days 221 hours, mean time." THE ARMY. The 2d battalion of the Coldstream Guards, from Dublin, nulled the Wellington Barracks last evening. The 2d battalion :of the Scots Fusilier Guards, om manded by Col. F. Seymour, C. 8., left Portman-street and St. John's-wood Barracks to replace the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards. The 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards will remain at the Wellington Barracks, and the Ist battalion of the Scot s Fusilier Guards at the Tower, until the next half-yearly change of quarters, in April next.

Oa Nyeueetty th@ gam steam grist: Woad°, 50, was NEW IVESTMINSTER BRIDGE. About a twelvemonth since we felt no little gratification in announcing to our readers, upon authority, that the first half of this splendid structure would be thrown open to public use in October or November of the present year. It is with equal regret that we have now to inform them that nothing of the kind will take place, and that, counting from the present time, there is every probability of our being doomed to another twelvemonth of the ricketty, dangerous. old bridge, which is every day becoming more and more obstructive to navigation, more unsightly, and, if possible, more ruinous. We by no means wish to infer that since our last notice nothing has been done towards the comple tion of the new bridge ; but, though the stonework of the piers has been proceeded with till all the first halves are finished, the contracts for the ironwork which is now re quisite forlfurther progress have been so recently entered into by the Board of Works that some time must elapse before the material for the rib arches will be ready. In the meantime advantage is being taken of the delay by. Mr. Page, the architect and engineer, to,proceecl, where practi cable, with the other halves of the stone piers, and four of these accordingly are being erected under the old bridge, and are just rising to low-water level. Such a time has elapsed since our last notice of the pro gress of this noble work, and so many rumours . have since then been afloat respecting it, that it will, perhaps, not be amiss to repeat here details respecting the size, design, and manner of construction of a bridge which we think will be the handsomest and most graceful of its kind in Europe. The new bridge, then, occupies all the site of the old one, and as much more ground in addition. In order to avoid the expense of a temporary bridge during the erection of a new one, it has been determined by Mr. Page to build half the new structure at a time—that is, half its width. The piersl for the western half are complete, but all those for the eastern half cannot be commenced till the old bridge, which occupies the . ground, is quite re moved. Wherever the eastern halves of the piers pass under the archway of the present bridge they are being con tinued, as we have already said. Only four, however, can belthus proceeded with—the old piers being in the way of the remaining three. But by even thus carrying the four piers through at the present time lgr. Page is effecting a considerable saving of time and money, as the new piers not only strengthen the old structure, but will eventually serve as centres from which to take it down. That the new bridge will be an immense gain to the metropolis, both in appearance and in convenience, our readers can judge for themselves from the following principal dimensions of • the work and brief description of its form. The old bridge is just 1,160 feet in length, and only 44 feet in width. The width of its road way is 26 feet, the footpaths are 8 feet each. Its height from foundation to centre arch is 57 feet, the depth of its foundation below low-water mark only 6 feet, the rise of the whole structure being 10 feet 6 inches above the new bridge. The cost of this edifice amounted to £389,500, or at the rate of £7 16s. per square foot of surface. Its waterway in area is only 16,000 feet, while the pressure on its foundations amounts to no less than 6 tons per foot, the whole weighing upwards of 90,000 tons. The new bridge, in almost every particular, is the reverse of all this. Its total length from extreme abutment to abutment is 1,160 feet, its width 85 feet, giving 15 feet for each path and no less than 50 feet for the roadway. The greatest height of the centre arch will be 22 feet above high-water mark; The depth of the foundation is no less than 30 feet below low water mark, or more than 20 feet into the London clay. The rise on the whole bridge is to be only 5 feet 3} inches, apparently half the rise of the old bridge, though in reality Much less, since it joins the roadway at a much lower level. In the new bridge there are to be seven arches. In the old there are 13, so that the water way of the former will give a greater area by 2,600 feet than the latter. The centre arch will have a span of 120 feet, the two next on each side 115, the two next 104, and, the two shore arches at Surrey and Middlesex 94 feet each. The cost of the new bridge will be in all only £235,000, £2 Bs. 6d. per super ficial foot, and the pressure on its foundations is only 21 tons. Mr. Page had the benefit of Sir Charles Bany's advice in Cl,llllO of flub Arrintnontal rintnila in order that the design might be as much in keeping as possible with the style of the Houses of Parliament. The new bridge, therefore, will harmonise perfectly with the noble Palace of 'Westminster, to which it will form one of the most important public avenues. The bridge being composed of iron arches on piers of masonry, will be extremely light in appearance, though, in truth, one of the strongest across the Thames. The piers are magnificent-looking pieces of workmanship, massive and durable as the columns of Stonehenge. Each pier will be surmounted with columnar alcoves of light ironwork, of the most graceful proportions. The spandrils of every arch will be profusely enriched with ornamental castings, and the cor nice parapet and side rail are each in keepingwith the other, and with the general rich and light effect of the whole. The shape of the arches is something quite new in the history of bridge-building—a curve, parallel with an ellipse, which will impart to the whole a graceful sweeping outline, simple and elegant in the last degree, and which will, as we have said, make it beyond all doubt one of the most striking and beautiful bridges of its size and kind in Europe. But light and beautiful as this bridge will be, its appearance has been regarded as a very secondary point when compared with its durability, and probably there is no bridge -across the Thames,not even excepting London or Waterloo, which will be superior to it in strength. The foundations especially, as having to contend not only against the scour of the river, but the shifting and treacherous nature of the subsoil of West minster, are of immense strength, and so novel in their con struction as to merit fresh notice here. They are made to combine all the advantages of foundations on bearing piles, made by means of cofferdams, without the immense ex pense and obstruction to the water way which the use of the latter involve, and which, at this part of the river, would have rendered their employment quite impracticable. The bearing piles, which are of elm, and 14 inches square, are driven home at intervals of 1 foot 9 inches from centre to centre, to an average depth of 20 feet into the London clay. Round these bearing piles a casing of cast iron piles and plates is driven to a dreat depth, and the whole mass bolted together in all directions by a crossing series of wrought iron tie rods. This peculiar iron casing, which thus answers all the purposes of a permanent cofferdam, is composed of 44 cast iron circular guide piles, 2.5 feet in length, each of which is 15 inches in diameter and one inch thick. These are driven in at intervals of five feet six inches, which are afterwards completely filled in with sheeting piles, so that the whole foundation is bound in and faced with a casing of wrought and cast iron. The space thus enclosed is then dredged down between the bearing piles we have mentioned to the bare gravel bed, and filled in with concrete, so as to form a solid mass. The cast iron sheeting piles between the circular guide piles cease at six feet below low water line, and the piers are there faced with slabs of granite of enormous size and 20 inches thick. The foundations of the old bridge,,of course, bear no kind of comparison with these, as their lowest depth is actually only six feet below low water mark ! However, to do Labelye (its builder) mere justice, it is but fair to state that he laid his foundations for a light wooden bridge, and it was not till he was beginnin,g the wood work from pier to pier that the Government of that day put their finger in the pie and ordered the bridge to be built of stone. All the exterior of the new piers above low water mark is solid granite, and each is so continued up to the height whence the arches will spring —two feet above high water mark. These piers are to be surmounted with oc tagonal:pillars, which are now in course of preparation. They will consist of immense blocks of gray granite with moulded capitals and bases, all to be cut from the solid block. When finished they will be the finest examples of granite masonry in London. It is earnestly to be hoped that the Board of Works will permit Mr. Page to have them polished, which would make them both more durable and more beautiful. The blocks of which these pillars are being formed weigh from 15 to 20 tons each, and are cut from the Checsewring and Penrhyn quarries in Cornwall. The new piers are 191, ft. 6 in. above low water level, and not the slightest shrinkage or settlement of any part of the whole mass has taken place since the commencement up wards of two years ago. This is more than could ever have been said of the old bridge, which gave ominous warning of of what it was to cost the country, and what kind of a structure it would prove to be; by two of its arches falling even before the bridge was opened for traffic. This old bridge was always a blunder ; but those who built it at least meant well, and considering that it is now 111 years since it was erected, it was not perhaps put up so badly after all. It is in our time that the greatest blunders have been committed respecting it, and committed, too, without much of that well-intentioned ignorance which excuses the past generation. Actually upwards of £lOO,OOO more than would have built a new bridge have been wastefully ex pended in patching up this ruinous obstacle, and the greater part of this money has gone in stone ballast round its old piers to prevent their further settlement, and to remove all which from the bed of the river again when the new bridge is finished will cost some £lOO,OOO. However, there seems Act feu *ifs time but that when the Au( bridge iA Auiallocl NEWSPAPER ---„. 7.i; \ wo shall have seen the last of Wegmhieter=bricl„ — - ;. 1 ' - ' ----:- _.: , :.i,.. r .. . , ? ,-. . i•-.k ) j tore for many generations to come. eriabaly. t1ia, 7 17, 4 H c, ~.;, tions will not yield. According to 14 etOillatioti-iiitnii. ' " Mr. Page, the pressure on the bears 'piles of - - thi4iii4. ~f,„4 7 foundations •is unusually light when s, coLoparedA-ith44r? loads they are generally called upon to soppy. This a s Hull dock the diameter of the bearingpiles is otliy 10 i4h as 0' yet the load is 37 tons to the square foot. At Lerulen, bridge, on 10-inch piles, the load is actually 80 tons ; so is it 80 tons the square foot with the same sized piles under the Albert Warehouses at Liverpool. In the new bridge, though the bearing piles are 14 inches in diameter, yet their load is only 12 tets the square foot. The pressure per su perficial foot on the whole area of the foundation is only 2 tons, while on the old bridge it was 6 tons, and on London bridge it is 51 tons. The weight on the granite after the new bridge has taken its bearings will be only two tons to the square foot. Owing to the peculiarly fiat curve of the arches and their consequently thin crowns, where the weight will be the greatest, it has been necessary to construct the ribs in such a manner of wrought and cast iron as to give the requisite stiffness to the central parts, while obviating the danger of constant percussion from heavy loads. The ribs of the arches have, therefore, been made with wrought iron cen tral portions, which are constructed to answer the purpose of both rib and girder. These wrought iron portions vary in span from the centre arch, where they are 521 feet long by 28 inches deep, to the land arches, where they are 42 feet 3 inches by 22 inches deep. These centre spans will be made of rolled iron, 11 inch thick, and will be considerably stronger than any strain they will ever be required to en counter under any circumstances of London traffic. Tho full load Strain of each arch is three tons the square inch ; but the wrought iron portions are tested with a compres sive strain of more than 12 tons to the square inch, or • nearly 2,000 tons to the square foot. There will be 13 of these ribs in each arch, each rib being 5 feet 2 inches apart. Each rib and spandril will contain 22 tons of cast iron and about 5 tons of wrought iron, the bed plates for each being 4 tons of cast iron, making some 34 tons in all. The iron. contracts have been given to Messrs. Cochrane and Co., of Woodside. The total amount required for the whole super structure of the new bridge is 2,557 tons of cast iron, 1,257 tons of wrought iron, or 3,814 tons in all. In addition to this amount there will be 289 tons of ornamental castings for the parapet, outside ribs, and cornice. At present the workmen are busily engaged in carrying through, under • the centre arch of the old bridge, the eastern half of the piers for the new. These piers, being nearly 100 feet long by 17 feet wide, of solid masonry, of course, by consolidat ing the ground, prevent further sinking of the old piers. No sinking, however, has taken place for some time ; in fact, if any further settlement did occur, the whole mass would come down like a cardhouse. How it has ever held up for so long a time in its present state seems perfectly marvellous. When the western half of the piers of the new bridge had to be sunk alongside the piers of the old the latter of course were partly cut away to make room, a rather dangerous operation at the time. The sec tion thus exposed showed that the piers between the arches had never been built in regular courses of masonry, but that they were merely hollow walls, filled up inside with coarse rubble. When one of the new piers we have men tioned was taken under the centre arch of the present bridge it was necessary to alter and remove the centering of timber which apparently supported the ruinous arch. It was then found that these supports (which, at their best, were only the poorest and weakest kind of pinewood) were so rotten that had the bridge really been settling they would no more have withstood any pressure than so many trusses of straw. During the past summer all the workmen employed at the bridge have suffered most severely from the dreadful effluvia of the river. The men of course were working down on the surface of the water when the scour of the river was greatest, and when the tide was in constant agitation in passing among the piles. The stench it gave off in passing is represented as being at times quite unendurable, and the men were seized with violent attacks of nausea, vomiting and serious illness that as many as six or seven per day were often sent from the works. The men have a sick fund among themselves, to which all subscribe, and which allows the workmen at the rate of 12s. per week during illness. Hitherto no'cAll worth notice had come upon the fund in summer ; indeed, it was during summer that such funds were gathered as sufficed for the sickly drain of winter. In the present summer, however, the sickness has been so general among the men that, instead of gaining upon the reserve in hand, not only the: mere weekly income of the sick fund has been expended, but all the balance which had been in hand some time before. In November the first ribs of the arches will be adjusted in their places. REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.- RESIGNATION OF MR. TO IVNSEND. Last evening a numerously attended meeting of electors of the borough of Greenwich (convened by circular), was held at the Lord Nelson Tavern, Trafalgar-road, Greenwich, to receive Mr. Towns end, M.P., and hear an address from that gentle man as to his future intentions with regard to the representation of the borough. The chair was oc cupied by Mr. Cherritt, of Woolwich. Mr. TOWNSEND, on presenting himself, was re ceived with loud cheers. He said he felt grateful for the reception they had given him, but he could assure them that no man, except he went through the ordeal, could have the slightest idea of the pain, regret, and grief, which resulted from yielding up the high and distinguished honour which they had conferred upon him by electing him as:their repre sentative. He deeply felt the kindness which prompted the advice of many of his friends that he should retain the seat until the term allowed by the rules of the house had expired. If he saw the least chance of superseding the bankruptcy he would act upon the advice, but as the contrary was the case, he thought it would be most unwise obstinately to retain a position until Parliament assembled, to be kicked out of the house. He felt also that he had no right to keep M.P. attached to his name unless he could fully perform those onerous duties which ap pertained to a member for such an important borough as that of Greenwich. He had told them on the hustings that whenever the time arrived that he could no longer serve them efficiently, he would resign his trust into their hands. He had fully considered the subject, and believed that such time had arrived, and, added the hon. member (who appeared to be labouring under emotion), I hereby resign into your hands, and the hands of the elec tors of this borough, the scat in Parliament which they freely accorded to me by an immense and over whelming majority. They were probably surprised to hear that he had determined in future to adopt the profession of the stage. A princely offer had been made to him, and as he was most anxious to pay off his debts, he had determined to accept that offer. He thought they would not condemn him for this decision. (Hear, hear.) When such men as Sheridan Knowles and the Hon. W. Thesiger, son of the Lord Chancellor of Engand, adopted the stage as a profession, he thought that it could not but be deemed an honourable calling. He was but a young man, and he would never rest satisfied until he had paid to his creditors every fair and just debt. He trusted that the time would 3 -et come when he should appear before them under more favourable circumstances and he should ever feel grateful for the extraordinary exertions they had made on his behalf. Mr. I)AvEY, of Charlton, then moved the follow ing resolution :—" That this meeting of electors, having heard from Mr. Townsend airstatement of his reasons for immediately resigning into their hands the important trust reposed in him as a re presentative of the borough of Greenwich, in accept ing such resignation, cannot but express their opi nion that Mr. Townsend's Parliamentary conduct entitles him to the esteem of all earnest and sin cere reformers. Mr. MEAD seconded the motion, which was una nimously adopted. After some discussion it was unanimously re= solved that the Townsend League should merge into an association to be designated the Borough of Greenwich Reform League ; that the present organisation should continue, and that the execu tive committee should be requested and empowered to communicate with certain gentlemen who were considered to be probable candidates.
