By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

(Signed) " H. CORRY." " The Viscount Morpeth, Chairman of the Committee on the Cornwall Railway Bill." MR. WALKER'S REPORT ON THE PROPOSED BRIDGE ACROSS THE TAMAR AT SALTASH, OR THE CROSSING AT HAMOAZE. 23, George. street, June 1, 1846. Sir,—l have, in compliance with the instructions of your letter of the 23d ultimo, surveyed the side of the bridge pro posed for crossing the Tamar at Saltash, and considered the plans thereof; I have also considered the alternative plan of crossing by a steam and chain ferry at Hamoaze, and have taken the opinion of the Master Attendant, the Queen's Har bour Master, and others, thereon. It remains now that I report my opinion. First, as to the Saltash Bridge plan. The centre arch of this bridge is designed to be 255 feet span, the side arches of which—there are two on the west and four on the east side of the centre arch—are each 105 feet span. The two middle piers 20 feet, the others 15 feet thick. The clear level height, or the soffitts of the arches above high-water, is by the description 70 feet ; but is shown to be 80 feet upon the elevation, of which a reduced copy is drawn upon the accompanying sheet marked (A). The high-water width of the river at the point of crossing is 1,060 feet; at low-water the width is 820 feet. The depth at high-water 68 feet, the rise of tide 16 feet. The velocity of the tidal current is about 2 to 2i knots per hour. In fresshes the ebb is one mile greater. and which consent there is no provision for obtaining until the Act is passed, and would at any rate require time to procure. The promoters can easily obtain all these consents the instant the Act is obtained, and will undertake to do so at any cost, and even to incur the cost of coming to Parlia ment for a short Bill to remedy the evil, if this should be thought preferable; and will undertake generally (but this is amply provided for by the 17th sect. of Bth Vic., cap. 20) to conform in every respect to the requirements of the Admi ralty. The promoters, therefore, earnestly entreat their Lordships not to allow a measure of such importance, which has for some years past been persevered in through great difficulties, and which, after an enormous expense incurred during the last and present years, is now, as they believe, about to be sanctioned by the Legislature, to be defeated by an interested opposition on merely technical grounds_ The promoters are entirely in the power of the Admiralty; and as it appears to them evident that the particular height referred to in the second letter has been named under a mis apprehension of the limits of height which the standing orders admit of being assumed, as referred to in the first letter, they would entreat their Lordships either to make the minimum height at present for the two centre arches 85 feet, instead of 95 feet, " with as much more as, the requi site consents being obtained, the Admiralty may consider desirable," or to leave the matter as it stood under the first letter, which, on the part of their Lordships, you addressed to the Chairman.—l have the honour to be, The objections that have been made to the above design are : 1. That the pier would occupy so considerable a portion of the water-way as to increase the velocity of the current, and to prevent the water from attaining its full height above the bridge. 2. That the piers would be an obstruction to vessels work ing up the river against very light foul winds. 3. That the height would not be sufficient for many of the vessels that now go up the river to the numerous small towns, and to the copper mines. That war vessels could not get above the bridge can scarcely be ranked as a tenable objection, because during the last thirty-five years only two frigates (French) have been laid up so high ; these were taken down again twenty years ago, when, also, the moorings were taken up ; and, which I consider a more decisive answer, because war-vessels to be laid in ordinary are dismasted, and there could be no diffi culty, even with the bridge as designed, in tugging the hull of the largest frigate through the centre arch should it ever be thought desirable. Returning, therefore, to the other objections, I consider the greatest, practically, to be the want of height according to the proposed design, even supposing the height to be eighty feet. The trade up is chiefly in coals, timber, and other supplies for the copper mines; the down train consists of the produce of the mines. It is carried on chiefly in sloops and barges, but there are also schooners and some brigs, the greatest tonnage of which is from 160 to 200 tons. The total annual number of vessels is about 300. Having examined the statements of the extreme heights of the vessels, my opinion is that 70 feet or even 80 feet is too low ; but that an addition of 15 feet, giving 95 feet in the middle openings, and 92 feet in the two side openings at the high water of neap tides—there would be 100 feet in the middle and 108 feet at half flood—would remove all reason able objection. Even then a few of the largest brigs must strike their top-gallant masts to go up quite at high-water, as their extreme height with these on end exceeds 100 feet; but such contingencies are not frequent. And it is also to be borne in mind that about half the number of ves sels is now being tugged up ; that the practice of tugging is on the increase, and is considered as, on the whole, an eco nomy in time without an increase of expense. If there were any very great difficulty, or even expense, in removing the objection to the diminution of water-way by the spaces which the piers occupy, and the having only one very large arch for navigation, it might be worth while to consider them ; but I do not think either that the design would suffer, or the difficulty and cost be increased, by doing away with all the small arches, and having four arches all of the same size, which will require only three piers, in place of seven arches with six piers; therefore, I recommend this alteration (see accomp anying s heet, marked B). And although the bridge will not, for the reasons I have stated, be perfectly harmless, it will be so as to be nearly unobjec tionable, provided the railway object be considered impor tant as a public good. A footway crossing upon the bridge might be a convenience. I now come to the Hamoaze crossing. I have not to inform you that a steam ferry, worked by a chain laid in the bed of the river, has been in use at Hamoaze for ten years. The regular crossings, at every half hour, are continued during the whole of the day. They occupy from six to eight minutes. On the Plymouth side the sloping stage is run upon the beach, which is rather back from the general line. On the west side it is run upon the slope of a raised bank, which was made by the Ferry Company when the steam ferry was established. It is an unseemly projec tion above the regular surface of the beach, forty. six yards long, and extended forty yards within high water, tending to cause a deposit above and below it. A condition with the new company to remove it would be useful. By the present arrange ment t h e f er ry must stop on a sig nal from any ship that is being transported, until the ship shall have passed, and the authority for the ferry to proceed being signalled. Although the written instructions to the ferry people are of very recent date, this understanding has been acted upon for the whole time, and the delay to the ferry has been very small ; sometimes one stoppage of half an hour to an hour, in the course of a month; sometimes not one in six months. When the ferry vessel is at the shore on either side, she is completely out of the way. Her length is 100 feet, including the hinged flap at each end. Mr. Brunel, who (together with the engineer of the oppos ing line of railway) accompanied me on my survey, informed me that the Railway Company have purchased the property and rights of the Ferry Company, and that their crossing is to be at the same place. The Railway Company's vessel will probably be longer than that of the Ferry Company. This may affect in two ways, as being more in the way in crossing, and projecting farther into the water when the vessel is at her berth. As to the former, the length may be limited ; perhaps 60 or 70 yards, exclusive of the flaps, would not be objectionable ; and the company might be called upon, if thought expe dient, to make a dock on each side, so that the stern of their vessel should in no case project farther into the stream than the present boat does, of which there never has been any complaint. I think it probable that for their own sake they will do this, so as to enable them to transfer their railway carriages from the railway to rails laid on the deck of the vessel. With these observations, I should consider the Hamoaze crossing unobjectionable. It may be prudent at the same time that the Admiralty keep a general control and power to make bye-laws for the government of the ferry. I have presumed that in future the public, whether on foot or with carriages, are to be conveyed on the same terms as at present. This will, of course, be attended to. I think it may safely be left to Parliament and the rail way company to select Hamoaze or Saltash for the point of crossing, if the modifications and restrictions which I have recommended at either place be attended to. I have the honour to be, &c. The Secretary:of the Admiralty. (Signed) JS. WALKER. 18, Duke-street, Westminster, June 10, 1846. Sir,—The promoters of the Cornwall Railway Bill have directed me to address you on the subject of the second letter received from you on the part of the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty by Lord Morpeth, the Chairman of the Committee on the Bill. The requirements specified in this letter, relating to the height of the bridge at Saltash, have the effect of at once defeating the Bill; and which would indeed have taken place immediately on receipt of this second letter, if Lord Morp_eth had not himself, from the ap parent disagreement betlden the two letters from the Admiralty, thought that possibly some mistake might have occurred. The promoters believe that such must be the case, and fully confident, particularly after the receipt of the first letter, that their Lordships would net desire to throw any impediment in the way of so useful a public measure as that now before the Committee, they earnestly entreat of their Lordships to consider the peculiar circumstance of the case.

The promoters are ready and most anxious to bind them selves to adopt any plan of construction for the proposed bridge that can be required by the Admiralty, but there are technical difficulties which would defeat the Bill if the height is now defined at more than a few feet greater than that shown in the section. The height on the section is 80 feet ; now, without consent of the landowners and occupiers, this cannot be raised to more than 85 feet ; such consent can nev6r be obtained during the passing of an opposed Bill, par ticularly when there are small tenements, as a single lodger, or even a person having a reversionary interest in the smallest building, could be brought by the opponents to re fuse his consent. Eighty-five feet at the edge of the shore is therefore the greatest height which can be assumed as within the power of the promoters. From this point the bridge could be made to rise to the centre arches, giving perhaps 5 feet more, or 90 feet, as there are no owners of the river whose consent would be required ; but here again a technical objection will now be raised by the opponents, that such a rise, involving a change in the gradients, requires the consent of the Board of Trade, PUBLICATIONS.

ANOTHER DREADFUL STORM AT MELBOURNE.—MONDAY EVENING.—WhiIe writing the foregoing account Melbourne has again been visited by a storm of even more fearful cha racter in its kind than the preceding, although happily unat tended with equally fatal consequences. At about half-past six this evening, the thunder, which had been long heard rumbling at a distance, broke precisely over the town, ac companied by almo s t con ti nu ed flashes of lightning of the most awful and magnificent description. When the war of elements had rea c h e d t h e h e i g h t o f it s f ur y, a peal, which was almost deafening, causing the most obdurate tremble, burst forth. At this moment a ball of fire descended, at a distance of not more than fifty yards from the spot where the above fatal catastrophe had taken place, and entering a house, set fire to a quantity o f papers in a room where a sic k person was lying, and then passing through the chamber ceiling, entered a lower room. In its passage a portion of a scythe attached to the wall was melted, and then entering the chimney, carried with it the iron apparatus employed to hang kettles, &c., upon. That the sick person should have escaped appears most marvellous; yet so it was. So alarm ing a visitation the most aged inhabitant has no recollection of, and it is hoped it will not pass away without some moral influence of a beneficial order.—Derby Reporter. ~~ ~- G~_, ~~= COURT CIRCULAR.

DREADFUL THUNDER-STORMS. DERBY, JUNE 26.—Derby and its vicinity was visited with-an awful thunder-storm, accompanied by rain, on Friday last. During the day the heat was very oppressive; the barometer lowered ; and during the early part of the day thuader was occasionally heard in the north. The storm, however, did not reach Derby until about five o'clock in the afternoon. The lightning was very vivid, and heavy peals of thunder continued for about half an hour, though the storm did not rage so violently over Derby as in some other districts of the county. The rain fell in torrents, intermixed, in some places, with hailstones the size of hazel nuts. Many of the surrounding villages bear testimony to the severity of the storm ; and at Melbourne it produced very lamentable re sults. Many casualties are reported ; among others, the loss of a cow, the property of Mr. Joseph Hodgkinson, of Langley, and one belonging to Mr. White, of Brailsford. Im mediately after the storm, and during the whole of Saturday, the atmosphere was considerably cooler; but on Sunday and Monday it was nearly as hot as before. On the evening of the last-named day heavy clouds gathered from all quarters, and about seven o'clock a vivid flash of lightning gave warning that a second storm was approaching. The ba rojneter' which had been gradually lowering, made a sudden drop of half an inch. Presently flash succeeded flash and peal followed peal, almost incessantly, while the rain fell copiously. We do not recollect a storm so awfully grand as this was. It continued for more than two hours, causing the greatest consternation and alarm to many of the inhabitants, and at length passed away towards the south. It is stated that a man was struck blind by the lightning whilst haymaking in a field belonging to Mr. Tarr, of the Morledge, but we have not heard of any other casualties, though the electric fluid was frequently observed to dart to the earth with fearful velocity. CIIESTERFIELD.—The storm of Friday passed over Ches terfield, causing considerable damage. The house occupied by the Misses Lucas, in Elder-yard, was struck by the electric fluid, but we are happy to say that no lives were lost. WIRKSWORTH.—About four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last thunder was heard in the distance, which was soon succeeded by several louder claps and slight flashes of lightning, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain and hail. For about twenty minutes the drops of rain were described to be " as large as tea saucers ;" however, the storm was a welcome guest at Wirksworth. Middleton church was slightly injured by the electric fluid. On Monday we had considerably more thunder and lightning than on the pre vious Friday. The rain was not so heavy, but continued much longer. The cornice upon one part of the house of Mr. Marsh, grocer, was knocked off with a tremendous crash ; but we hear of no further damage. MELBOURNE.— On Friday last, about five o'clock in the afternoon, the town and vicinity of Melbourne were visited with one of the most fearful and fatal storms that it had ever known. For a considerable period, dark and portentary clouds were seen collecting together, and considerable fears were entertained by many of the inhabitants that a tempest would soon be experienced. The sun, which had only a short time previously shone with unclouded brilliancy, was almost suddenly obscured. An alarming pall-like mass of clouds now appeared to envelope the town, and in a few minutes the highly-charged electrical conductors came in contact, and vivid sheets of lightning blazed instantly around, ac companied by loud and frequent peals of thunder. After the storm had raged with violence for a considerable period it seemed gradually to pass away, and once more the sun lit up the recently dark sky, when, as if the tempest had only been lulled awhile for the purpose of concentrating all its energies, an awful crash, like the discharge of a whole battery of artil lery together, shook the town to its foundations, while at the same instant a stream of electric fluid descended from the clouds with destructive force, striking two well-known and respectable inhabitants of the place dead on the spot. One of them was Mr. W. Bailey, hair-dresser, and clerk of the Melbourne Friendly Society, held at the Melbourne Arms; the other was Mr. Hugh Dalman, master baker. Mr. Bailey had only just crossed from hi s own h ouse to his g ' arden . o on the opposite side of the st ree t, f o ll owed b y Mr. Dalman, to notice the progress of the storm, although the earnestly intreated e not to do so by Mrs. 8., t o w h om he replied, " Oh, there's not one in a million kill e d." The former rep had entered the garden, while the latter was at the gate of it, and who, on being struck, was seen to fall instantly, by a person opposite, and without a strug g l e ex pi re d . M r. B . was found near the edge of his garden, by his deeply-afflicted wife, who, on hear ing what had occurred to Mr. Dalman, regardless of all danger, rushed across the road, calling upon her husband. The scene which followed exceeds all description. The whole town was filled with confusion; shrieks and wailings might be heard in every direction. So terrible, so sudden, and so loud a crash, as accompanied the electric explosion, had never been heard, or conceived of before. The shock of an earthquake could only have exceeded it. It was as if the voice of God i n fearful majesty h a d called upon the people t o attend to a display of his omnipo ten t power. The hair on one side of Mr. Bailey's head was burned off; but upon the person and clothes of Mr. Delman the ravages were most awful. His shirt was on fire when first approached. His small-clothes were stripped to ribbands,—one of his stockings and one of his shoes were burned to a cinder, and his whole form fearfully disfigured. Several persons in the town were, in different ways, affect ed by the destroying flash; some were thrown down, while others were sensibly oppressed, as with a weight of sulphur ous heat pressing upon them. From the point where first it descended, the electric fluid proceeded through therstreet, street, and at a distance of about a SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE UPON-TYNE RACES. —WEDNESDAY.
