SIR —A ny scheme havii;g for its object the future welfare of a large, intelligent, and heavily -tasked class of men, is sure to meet with the approbation of the public, and encouragement from that great moral reflex of the public mind and opinion—the Press. It is under this conviction that I request the favour of your inserting a few remarks upon the important subject of "Railway Superannuation," relative to the recent publication of a pamphlet on which a leader ap peared in your impression of the sth inst., and I hope ample ground for my trespassing upon your columns will be found in the interest evinced by you in your ad vocacy of the scheme, and in the truth contained in the old homely proverb, that " No one knows where the shoe pinches but he who wears it." This scheme, if carried into effect, will be unrivalled in magnitude and the wide extent of its operations. It is excellent in all points but one, and the exception is of so great importance as apparently to neutralise all pro posed advantages. It is to this objectionable exception that I wish to draw attention, it having been generally pronounced to he unsound and inequitable by those who are shortly (to carry out the figure of the proverb) to wear the shoe. It runs thus:—." No return from the fund to be made in the case of a clerk dying before he has been superannuated." As, however, the whole amount of a clerk's subscrip tions are to be returned in case of resignation, and there are full twenty-five resignations to one death, it is diffi cult to conceive why such a clause should exist, espe cially upon the plea that is advanced for it, " that the funds would suffer by any return being made in the case of a death." The problem that twenty-five cases of resignation would not affect the fund, but that one case of death would, surely requires solving. The death of a clerk, being a married man, would thus be a double ca l am ity t o his family; his death bei ng attended by the loss of the many years' deductions from his salary. In the case of two men who have subscribed to the fund for twenty years, supposing one to die and the other to resign, the subscriptions of the former are for feited whilst those of the latter are returned. It will be readily seen that there is no analogy between these cases and those of common annuities, and therefore no ground for thus laying a fine upon death. Tho alteration or modification, therefore, of this clause will afford unbounded satisfaction. Its retention must produce the opposite effect. I trust that it only required attention to be drawn to the matter to perfect the scheme. Reiterating my thanks for the interest you have shown in the matter, and assuring you that the removal of tho above inop•-ioiat.Prev will eladden th e h earts o f hundreds of railway officials, I am, sir, yours. P_,4. • CLERICUS. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. OP ENING OF THE BRIDGE ACROSS THE WYE .

Clarkpee superin tendent of the line), Mr. Snead, banker, o f Chepstow, &c. There was present a large number of ladies resi dent in the neighbourhood of Chepstow. The bridge merits an extended notice, from the no velty of its construction, the difficulties with which the engineer has had to contend during the progress of the works, the cost at which it will be completed, and the almost perfect rigidity of the structure, as evidenced yesterday, under a very heavy weight. The engineer, in throwing a bridge across the Wye, had these difficulties to overcome. The stream is ex tremely rapid—the tide extraordinary (rising, as it does, 44 feet)—the bed of the river covering the solid rock some 40 or 50 feet, and the elevation at which it was necessary to carry the railway being 50 feet above high water mark. To meet these difficulties Mr. Brunel de termined to carry the main span of his bridge over upon cast-iron cylindrical tubes, and to derive the chief sup port of the roadway laid upon them from a boiler-plate tube fixed high above it, and having diagonal chains fixed to horizontal girders, across the bottom of which the permanent way of the line should be fixed. The bridge—which we had the pleasure of crossing with the testing train yesterday—may be very shortly described. The width of the Wye at this point is about 600 feet. The bridge consists of four arches, and it is the one on the Gloucester side, of 309 feet span, to which the tubular suspension principle has been applied. The sides of the roadway are formed of two vertical girders, 8 feet in depth. They partake of the cellular principle, but the cells are triangular, and afford a power ful resistance to compression from the peculiar form of their construction, and the bottom of the roadway is formed of a web of wrought iron to resist extension. The two side girders are connected together by cross girders, upon which the timber flooring is laid. Upon the flooring the ordinary ballast of the Great Western Railway is deposited. These girders rest upon the cast iron cylindrical pillars to which we have already alluded, and such is the nature of the bed of the river, that the pillars had, on the average, to be sunk 48 feet before the solid rock could be reached. Upon the solid rock all of these pillars rest. As an instance of the labour imposed upon the engineer in this portion of the work, we may mention that in sinking the pillars, such an influx of fresh water was met with, that an engine of 30 horse-power was constantly required to get rid of it. The tubes are fifty feet out of water at high-water mark. In a line with and at an elevation of fifty feet above the roadway is the cylindrical tube or standard. The end on the Gloucester side of the river rests upon a stone arch, and the other end upon iron work running up from the cylin drical pillars. The tube is nine feet in di ameter , an d has a curve or camber of two feet six inches is the centre. From this tube the main chains by which the roadway is principally supported run disgon 2ll Y from either end to a point fifty feet from the centre, and for about 109 feet or the roadway the main chains run horizontally. The adjustment of the road• girders is effected by screws act ing upon the suspending chains, and by wedges under two vertical trusses about 103 f ee t apart. By driving in these we dg es , w hi c h m ove upon rollers, the suspend ing or supporting tube is made to keep its orighmeal curve or camber, and this, with the assistance of t n t the r r roadway. screw, h ci e w a a v y will give at all times the proper rigidity tou Of the practical rigidity of the bridge r proof. y weight wo shall presently give a satisfacto eve syt Y hing , having A few minutes before two o'clock, the strengtn of tne been stated to be complete for testing cou ple of trucks— bridge, an engine and tender, and a most d the entlemen whose names we haveabove one containing a brass band, and e e an t ca h e c r r at e at Clic g started from the temporary 6tB"°j l;etween t P h s e t"' station proceeded through the deep cutting . s were upon the and the bridge. Several thousand person heights of the cutting, and as the engine whichgioa was m e t moved upon the bridge they sent forth a hearty cheer, side of the a large by a louder cheer from the workme n and con course of persons assembled on the other Wye. This was but a preliminary trip—the weight that had gone over the bridge was not more than about seventy tons. The real and practical test followed. Two engines, with their tenders, were attached to ten trucks loaded with 100 tons of iron rail and stone, the whole weighing upwards of 200 tons, and the steam having been put on, the train crossed the bridge at the rate of about ten miles per hour. Mr. Brunel and Captain Simmonds were in the centre of the main span, and upon of the vertical girders, for the purpose of observing to what extent the train would affect the rigidity of the structure. The load we have mentioned—viz., upwards of 200 tons, was taken across the main span of the bridge several limes, and th e greatest deflection was barely seven-sixteenths of an inch . It was calculated by Mr. Owen, the resident engineer,bl that the greatest moveable weight that could os be brought on the bridge at one time would be about one ton per foot run, or 300 tons over a bridge of that span. That load could only be pr o d uced by forming a train of locomotive engines. It was stated that this portion of the bridge was testeditn on the ground before it position, was erected in its present by loading it with nearly 1,000 tons, and that the deflection sion did not exceed on e i nch and a half. The weight of the tube is 220 tons, and of the chains, plates, &c., 120 tons, together 340 tons, or 720 tons for the tw way over a span o f 300 feet.

Great Lancashire Produce Stakes—Sister to Moun tain Deer, Hobby -horse (allowed 3lbs), Estrella, Auld A c quaintance, Fair Star filly, and perhaps one of Mr. Johnstone's and Mr. Hesse'tine's. The SISTER TO MOUNTAIN DEER, HOBBY -HORSE, and AULD AC QUAINTANCE will of course be first, second, and taird. The Liverpool St. Leger—Alfred the Great, Greyleg, Caracara, Plot, and perhaps Bethgelert, and Claver house; the latter, however, being very dubious. THE GREAT ALFRED of course is the winner. T,hLEG 2.Knowsley- Dinner Stakes—SA CKBUT , 1 ; G REY - DerbThe Tri enn i a l Produce Match of 200 sous. each, Lord y win. The starters for the Bentiuck Testimonial Handicap are doubtful. The races to-day —at least one or two—are run so late that the first and second editions of The Sun will appear before the result is known, consequently it may be as well to state that the field for the Derby Handicap will consist of Elthiron (Marlow), Iris (Butler), The Reaper, and Osbaldiston. Those with the jockeys' names appended will be first and second. Wicgenund wallif over for the Foal Stakes. The Liverpool Cup will be contested by Clincher, Cossack, Goldfinder, Doubt, Herbert, Colsterdale, Poole, Bans &c., hee, Gipsy co l t. Lucio, and Termagant.—l aSir, Jsly 15.

Our reporter has just received intelligence at the police-office that three persons have been shot in Cullentree-road — t wo men and a young Woman. The men are.both named W.lienna, and the young woman is named M‘Laughlin. They w ere standing, it is alleged, at their own doors a b ou t two o'cloc k this morning, when they were shot, without being. mixed up with any riot or quarrel at the time. The parties who fired the shots have not been arrested, nor, in fact, are their i names known. Th e y oung woman received a ball n the back part of the neck, and Dr. Wheeler, wbo . was called on to attend her, succ e eded in ext r acting it- She is lying at her own house, in Cullentree-road. One of the men received a ball in the leg, and the part where the other man was hit we have not been able to learn. None of the wounds, we un d er.. stand, are of a dangerous description. We forbear from ex pressing any opinion upon this unfortunate occurrence, as a full investigation wilt be institute d, no duubt , into it this day at the police-office.—Belfast Ifercury. 1.. 1 os• 1 1 le• 1 co. 1 .., I .. 1 ~. 0 .., 0 ... 0 •.• 0 ... 1 a" 0 ••• 9,0 t; „ 1. 1 .. 0 ..: 1 ••• 0 ••• ... ••• I dr". 0 ••• ••• •.. 1 ••• 0 ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• 1 ••• 0 ••• ... ••• 1 ... 0 ••• ••• 0 ... ... ... 0 **IP 1 ... 1 6 , 44. 0 ••• 1 ... 0 1 •••• 0 ••• •''' ..• 1 ••• 0 ••• •" 1 •• • 0 ..• ... 1 ... 0 • II • ... ...

The news of the calamity sc,on spread through the town, and the con fusion was increased by the hundreds of people who crowded into the station. Mr. Superintendent Carswell, with a party of the county constabulery, was soon on the spot, and resorted to active measures for the extri cation of the injured, four of whom were found to be quite dead, and some 20 or 30 seriously injured. A special engine was dispatched to Manchester imme diately after the accident for Mr. Hall. the passenger superintendent, who arrived at three o'clock this morn ling. After a careful investigation of the circumstances, Mr. Hall is of opinion, that had the points been properly attended to the accident would not have occurred. The pointaman (John Parker) is in custody, and an inquest will be held on the bodies to-morrow. We subjoin as correct a list of the killed and injured as we have beein able to collect:— William Spencer, sawyer, 49, broken rib and bruises; Elizabeth Spencer, 13, bruised arm; James Spencer, 26, bruised face and other bruises; Thomas Hargraves, 48, glazier, right arm broken, and right leg contused; Mary Ann Hagraves, 14, much bruised; Isabella Dyson, 12, bruised foot; Sarah Ann Dyson, 13, severely braised in various parts of the body; Ellen Taylor, 60, severely bruised; Martha Taylor, 27, shoulder bruised; Mar garet Nowell, 11, contusions; Ann Hartly, 47, left shoulder bruised, and arm and head severely cut, thighs bruised; Thomas Hartley, elbow and knee bruised; Charlotte Hargreaves, 23 , contused eye; Hannah Holden,42, bruised; Margaret Holden, 13, bruised head; and several others whose names we have not been able able to ascertain are severely cut and bruised.

Nothing in or out. The Tyne steam-ship, Master Commander P. Wel lington, having landed her Brazilian mail at Plymouth, sailed yesterday morning for the eastward. The Basilisk, 4, paddle-wheel steam-ship, sailed last evening for the eastward. The General Steam Shipping Company's vessel Har binger arrived this morning from the Thames. Her crew will be inspected and mustered by Captain Lowe. and she will sail on the 15th for the Cape of Good Hope and India. PORTSMOITTH, WiIIDNESDAT.—The Retribution steam frigate, Captain the Hon. J. H. Drummond, will sail on Fr►day for Lisbon and Gibraltar with dispatches and supernumeraries for Rear-Admiral Dundas. The Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, has received her crew and hauled off to the stream to re-adjust her compasses. . - Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family are frequently afloat in the royal steam-yact Fairy, enjoying the cool evening breezes in the Solent. Last evening the yacht steamed nearly up to Spithead, and received a royal salute from the Retribution steam frigate, with yards manned, &o. The Fairy, with the Royal party on board and standard flying, steamed nearly up to Spithead on the previous evening, but no honours were paid them by the Retribution on that occasion. vv The Duke of Northumberland's late visit to the Chan nel Islands began with Guernsey, where he landed early on the morning of Tuesday, the 6th inst., and remained until late in the afternoon, when he crossed to Jersey, and on the following day, atter carefully inspecting the works of the harbour of refuge forming in St. Cathe rines_bay, St. Heliers, &C., started for Alderney. o n Thursday he examined the Admiralty Harbour works in progress in Alderney, the q uarries , t h e new church, &c., in all which the Duchess appeared to take great interest. The tides being at neap, neither Mr Walker, Mr. Barges, nor Mr. Cooper, the principal engineers, met bis Grace at either of the islands, but Mr. Neville, at Jersey, and Mr. Rhodes, at Alderney, explained the plans; and the Duke expressed his satisfaction with the works and their progress. The shelter afforded by the Alderney works is considerable; it has already been found useful, and will, it is expected, be much more so next winter. APPOINTMENTS.
