As England's Queen has made a stay Among the Highland laddies, It is but right that she should pay A 'visit to the Paddies. The Queen will have a welcome there, While bells from every steeple, With merry music will declare The gladness of her people. But will our gracious Sovereign meet Across St. George's waters, With warmer hearts than those which beat In England's sons and daughters. And when she views, with beaming smile, The scenes which there await her; Will she be weaned from Albion's Isle, And think Hibernia greater? Much will she see In that famed pas But when her visit closes, Will she have seen a greater Mart Than that of Messrs. Moses? In Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too, Will Ireland's shears or needle Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in view Of Aldgate's parish beadle? Or if she buy a Habit there, In which she sometimes dresses, Will she consider the affair Better than M. and S.'s. _ No answer need my readers give, While thus they are surrounded With stubborn facts, which negative The queries I've propoundei.

Hallybarton, Lord Paget, Lord A. Graham, Sir J. Harris, Richard Pearson, Charles Maule, Fox WILL OF PETER THE GREAT. In the name of the most holy and indivisible Trinity, we, Peter the Great, unto all our descendants and suc cessors to the Throne and Government of the Russian nation. The All-Powerful, from whom we hold our life and our Throne, after having revealed unto us his wishes and intentions, and after being our support, permits us to look upon Russia as called upon to establish her rule over all Europe. This idea is based upon the fact that all the nations of this portion of the globe are fast ap proaching a state of utter decrepitude. From this it results that they can be easily conquered by a new race or people, when it has attained full power and strength. We look upon our invasion of the West and the East as a decree of Divine Providence, which has already once regenerated the Roman Empire by an invasion of barbarians. The emigration of men from the north is like the in undation of the Nile, which at certain seasons enriches with its waters the arid plains of Egypt. We found Russia a small rivulet, we leave it an immense river. Our successors will make of it an ocean, destined to fer tilise the whole of Europe, if they know how to guide its waves. We leave them then the following instruc tions, which we earnestly recommend to their constant meditation :- 1. To keep the Rwsian nation in constant warfare in order always to havo good soldiers. Peace must only be permitted to remit the finances. To recruit the army, choose the moment favourable for attack. Thus peace will advance your project's of war, and war those of peace, for obtaining the enlargement and prosperity of Russia. 2. Draw unto you by all possible means from the civilised nations of Europn—captains during war, and learned men during peace—so that Russia may benefit by the advantages of other nations. 3. Take care to mix in the affairs of all Europe, and in particular of Germany, which, being the nearest na tion to you, deserves your chief attention. 4. Divide Poland by raising up continual disorders and jealousies within its bosom. Gain over its rulers with gold; influence and corrupt the Diet, in order to have a voice in the election of the kings. Make par tizans, and protect them; if neighbouring powers raise objections and opposition, surmount the obstacles by stirring up discord within their countries. 5. Take all you can from Sweden; and, to effect this, isolate her from Denmark, and vice versa. Be careful to rouse thi ir jealousy. 6. Marry Russian Princes with German Princesses; multiply these family alliances; unite your interests; and, by the increase of our influence, attach Germany to our cause. 7. Seek the alliance with England on account of our commerce, as being the country most useful for the de velopment of our navy (merchant, &c.), and for the ex change of our produce against her gold; keep up con tinued communications with her merchants and sailors, so that ours may acquire experience in commerce and navigation. 8. Constantly extend yourselves along the shores of Baltic and the borders of the Euxine. 9. Do all in your power to approach closely Con stantinople and India. Remember that he who rules over these countries is the real Sovereign of the world. Keep up continued wars with Turkey and with Persia. Establish dockyards in the Black Sea. Gradually obtain the command of this sea, as well as of the Baltic. This is necessary for the entire success of our projects. Hasten the fall of Persia. Open for your selves a route towards the'Peitidn, Gulf. Re-establish as much as possible, by means of Syria, the ancient com merce of the Levant, and thus - advance towards India. Once there, you will not require English gokl. 10. Carefully seek the alliance of Austria. Make her believe that you will second her in her projects for do minion over Germany, and secretly stir up the jealousy of other Princes against her, and manage so that each be disposed to claim the assistance of Russia; and exer cise over each a sort of protection which will lead the way to future domination over them. 11. Make Austria drive the Turks out of Europe, and neutralise her jealousy by offering to her a portion of your conquests, which you will further on take back. 12. Above all recall around you the schismatic Greeks, who are spread over Hungary and Poland; become their centre and support—as universal dominion over them, by a kind of sacerdotal rule (autocratic sacerdotale)—by this you will have many friends amongst your enemies. 13. Sweden dismembered, Persia conquered, Poland subjugated, Turkey beaten, our armies united, the Black and Baltic Seas guarded by our vessels, prepare sepa rately and secretly, first the Court of Versailles, then that of Vienna, to share the empire of the universe with Russia. If one accept, flatter her ambition and amour propre, and make use of one to crush the other, by engaging them in war. The result cannot be doubtful, Russia will be possessed of the whole of the East, and of a great portion of Europe. 14. If, which is not probable,both should refuse the of fer of Russia, raise a quarrel between them, and one which will ruin them both. Then Russia, profiting by this decisive moment, will inundate Germany with the troops which she will have assembled beforehand. At the same time two fleets full of soldiers will have the Baltic and the Black Sea—will advance along the Mediterranean and the Ocean, keeping France in check with one, and Ger many with the other. And these two countries con quered, the remainder of Europe will fall under our yoke. Thus can Europe be subjugated LEAMINGTON, JULY 31.—Every preparation is now making at the Spa for that great aristocratic meeting —the match between the Zingari Cricket Club and the Leamington Club—which is fixed to take place on Parr and Wisden's new and complete ground, on the 6th and 7th of August. The Zingari players will be Lord Burghley, Hon. F. Ponsonby, Hon. R. Grimston, W. Fellows, Esq., C. Harence, Esq., E. Hartopp, Esq., Rev. W. Pickering, Captain Mundy, W. Vernon, Esq., C. Morse, Esq., and F. Micklethwaite, Esq. The Learn ingtonians will be . represented by Lord Guernsey (M.P. for South Warwickshire), Hon. A. Wrottesley, Hon. E. C. Leigh, E. Elmhirst, Esq., W. and G. Bean, Esq., H. lCnightley, Esq., Captain Smith, G. Baker, Esq., with the two professionals—'vVisden and Palethorpo. The Zingari, deriving their appellation from their wandering movements, will be attired in their characteristic Spanish brigand costume. The second horticultural ex hibition, open to all England, on the 23d of August, owing to the greatly increased amount to be given in prizes, will experience an augmentation of competitors from all parts of the country, and decidedly wears the palm of superiority as regards any similar provincial meeting. A portion of the Haymarket company are ex pected to locate here for a while, and among the events of futurity is a visit from the brilliant successful Sontag during her provincial tour. Other operatic stars are also to shine in the musical hemisphere of the Spa— G risi, Viardot, Catherine Hayes, Mario, &e., among the number. The town continues to be crowded with an unusual number of American visitors, its cleanliness and healthfulness being the more inviting from the sickness which so extensively prevails in distant towns. The gene ral list of arrivals contains the names of—Lord and Lady Combermere, Hon. Miss Cotton, and the Baron de Berg, at the Regent; Lady Campbell, Dowager Lady Mus grave, Sir A. C. Corbet, Bert., Lady and Miss Corbet, Hon. Mrs. Macdonald, Lady Clinton, llon. Mrs. White and family, Hon. Lady Browne, Hon. J. Boyle, Lady and Miss Montgomerie, Sir A. Campbell, Captain and Mr. E. H.

Lncrezia Borgia was repeated here last night, for the last time this season. Parodi, when she first ap peared in the character of Lucrezia, produced an im pression, by her highly tragic conception and deve-. lopment of it, which subsequent representations con; firmed. As in her other principal parts, her Lucre zia is improved, mellowed, rendered more perfect by , repetition, and last night's performance was through out triumphant. Together with Moriani, the Gen naro, she was called before the curtain and warmly applauded. Alboni's brindisi was of course encored, and the ensemble of the opera was excellent. LYCEUM THEATRE. Monday evening the season terminated at this elegant theatre, the performance being for the benefit of the talented manageress, Madame Vestris. As we anti cipated yesterday, the house was crowded to suffoca tion, every available space from which the stage was visible being occupied before the rising of the curtain. The performance commenced with Planche's favourite comedy of The Follies of a Night, in which Madame (whose reception was of the warmest kind) sustained her original part of the Duchess de Chartres, and Mr. C. Mathews .also appeared in his favourite part in the same comedy of Paul Palliot. The comedy, we need scarcely remark, was beautifully put upon the stage; the dresses and appointments were magnifi cent. The favourite old English opera, The Beggars' Opera, followed. We have so frequently had to notice the splendid manner in which this opera was produced at the Lyceum, that we shall only now say that Messrs. Harrison, Harley, and F. Matthews, Madame Vestris, Miss K. Fitzwilliam, Miss J. Cole man, Miss Clair, and Mrs. Tayleure, each sustained their respective parts to admiration. Mr. Sims Reeves appeared at the conclusion of the opera, and sung the scena from the last act of Lucia splendidly. Mr. C. Mathews then came forward and delivered the usual valedictory address. He was received with earnest and protracted applause. When silence was at length restored, he spoke in the following terms : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—The few words I am about to trouble you with ought, strictly speaking, to have been delivered on Friday evening, which was, in fact, the last night of the season, the present being only a little one in'—(Laughter)—but I thought it better to keep my parting remarks for the parting moment, and not incur the necessity of inflicting upon you any more last words.' I have, in truth, little to say, ladies and gentle. men, though the dignified title of farewell address,' in serted, for want of a more modest term, in the playbills, seems to imply a long and eloquent valedictory oration, but if my last words are few and uninteresting, I hope, at all events, you will not be disappointed to find that I am not come to make my last dying speech and con fession.'—(Renewed laughter.) Our second season is over, and, in obedience to custom, here I am, or rather, to use the words of the Clown, here we are ! though how we are here, and why we are here, are totally different matters—matters which you have yet to hear explained to you. Had I the advantage of being a wealthy manager, I should enjoy the great satisfaction of informing you of the very large sum of money I have had the honour of losing during the last two months, but not belonging at present to that enviable and some what rare class of the community, though in hopes, like Charles Surface, of growing rich and splenetic all in good time,' I have simply to inform you how I have been a gainer—not of money—pray don't be alarmed, there has been no danger whatever of that lately—but of what to me is equally important, if not so intrinsic ally valuable—l have gained the knowledge that lam surrounded by one of the most loyal companies of ac tors that ever entered the walls of a theatre. Actors, ladies and gentlemen, who, together with the members of the orchestra, and the whole of the working pert of the establishment, have stood by their managers through good and evil, and carried them safely to the very last night of a season of 244 nights, in the teeth of four foreign operas and an Italian summer.—(Loud cheers.) By this spirited conduct I trust they will have 'urthered their own ultimate interests, as well as those of their managers, for they-have thus assisted in placing the theatre on a firmer footing for the next season than it has been during the two last. The first was all out lay; the second has been devoted to paying off that out— lay; and we look forward confidently to the next, should we but be honoured with-the same average amount of success which has attended the ,past, to crown our-la bours and ustify the sacrifices we have made.-- (Cheers.) To you, then, 'ladies and gentlemen, do we'- leave the agreeable' task of rewarding our industry and perseverance. Only patronise us as you have done, and we shall continua' to . laugh at all foreign rivalry, and unless positively - 'i burnt out from over the way,' as we have lately been by the scorching - heat of a too glorious summer, we have no fear of ever finding this house too hot to hold us. Ladies and gentlemen, accept the hearty thanks of Mrs. Mathews and myself - for the favour you have shown us, and in our names, and that of our gallant company, allow me to -bid you, until the 17th of Sep tember next, respectfully and gratefully, farewell." Mr. Mathews then bowed his acknowledgmelta to the audience, and, amidst very loud and flattering cheers, retired. The irresistibly laughable romance of real life, called Box and Cox, followed. The drol leries of Mr. C. Mathews and of Mr. Harley therein brought the evening's entertainments to a. very .suc cessful conclusion. Thus closed, until September next, one of the most elegant, most interesting,. and attractive of the London theatres. • THE TEETH.—How often do we find the human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefest of its ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to com panions by non-attention to the teeth! Though perfect in their structure and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and if those who are blessed with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladies are careful, and even particu lar in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth-powders of the present day are composed. It is highly satisfactory to point out Messrs. Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Denti frice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements, and eminently calculated to embellish and preserve the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to the breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the mouth.—Sunday Paper. ALLEGED MURDER AT MONMOREGItEEN, NEAR WoLvenmemPeet,—Considerable interest has been ex cited in Wolverhampton and the neighbourhood in con, sequence of the apprehension of a young man named John Moore, upon suspicion of having murdered a woman named Ann Morley. It appears that the de ceased, who was about twenty-four years of age, was servant at the Fox beer-house, Monmoregreen, between Wolverhampton and Bliston. She left the house on Sunday night last, and was found drowned about two o'clock the following morning in the canal at that place. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Moore, alias Dreadful, with whom she had been on intimate terms, in conse quence, it is said, of a quarrel which had taken place between them on Sunday evening, and he was accord ingly apprehended. The inquest on the body of the de ceased terminated late on Thursday evening, the inves tigation having occupied the whole day. Some of the witnesses gave their evidence greatly in favour of the accused, deposipg that he was in the Fox beer-shop aL the time the offence must have been committed. These statements, however, were directly contradicted both by other evidence and by the prisoner himself, who admitted being with the deceased until about a quarter of an hour before the alarm was given that she was in the canal. The prisoner is a married man, and the evidence left little doubt that en improper intimacy subsisted between him and the deceased. Several wit nesses gave evidence of hearing screams and struggling shortly before the body was found. It appeared that on the night of the deceased's death the landlady of the house observed her and the prisoner Moore together in a very improper place, and upbraided her with it, and also threatened to expose her. The prisoner, in his defence, gave an account of his conversations with the deceased, which went to show that the deceased had drowned herself in consequence of the threats of her mistress, and the fear that his wife was coming to live in the house. The prisoner, it seemed, lodged in the house, but his occupation was not stated. The jury, after a consultation of an hour, returned a verdict of wilful murder against John Moore. THE FORTUNES OF WOMAN.—The new novel just published under the title of " The Fortunes of Woman" is already attracting considerable attention in high circles, in consequence, it is presumed, of some disclo sures of a startling character in reference to persons of distinction. The Prince Regent and a well-known Irish Countess figure prominently in the work, and there is an interest of a deeper nature arising from the criminal doings or a young nobleman, who narrowly escaped the penalty of a murderer. "The fortunes of Woman," it will be generally admitted, is a novel quite out of the ordinary course, and much curiosity has consequently been excited respecting the authorship. EXPOSITION OF WORKS OF ART AND MANUFAC TURES IN PARIS.—The National Exhibition of Works of Art and Manufactures, held in Paris, occurs every five years, and the present collection has never been sur passed, either in invention or execution. The French journals announce that Mr. P. Erard, of the well-known firm of S. and P. Erard (pianoforte and harp makers here in London) has been unanimously elected a:h: up member of the commission to pas s j ud g ment 9 merits of the musical instrum ents, and which election has been ratified by the Minister of Commerce._ wood, A BOUNDARY Baocate—A.t thebitotofmwuotfear, which at Knowlton, in Flint sbire, isDeae rill , and when a person empties itself into the River hi gdormovionfeeEengoflacndantaenrd the principality strides across it , he is in the of Wales, int h e p dioceses of Chester, Lichfield, and bury and York, the Coventry, in the counties of Flint and Salop, and in two townships.—. Liverpool Albion. The present engrossing subjects are the lectures by Professor Bachhoffner, and J. M. Ashley, Esq. Pro fessor Bachhoffner has chosen the production of arti ficial cold as a theme for his discourse, which is il lustrated by the novel and beautiful contrivances of Mr. Masters, of Regent-street, so well known for inventive ingenuity. We can recommend all to visit this lecturer, feeling assured the curious results produced in his experiments will cause astonishment and delight. The lectures on chemistry still continue as interesting and attractive as usual. Mr. J. M. Ashley has been delivering a course of lectures for the prevention of epidemic dis eases, more especially cholera. The lecturer called attention to the important character of such a subject, and stated that although he. did not wish to raise the fears of his audience by any undue alarms, yet he considered a few remarks tending to the prevention of this mighty scourge, " cholera," would be deemed interesting. The lecturer pointed out the ill effects produced by the respiration of various poisonous and noxious gases, the products of the de composition of animal and vegetable matter, and which are continually found existing in numerous localities ; he stated that although " miasmata," so fertile in disease, had never yet been understood, so as to give rise to a remedial agent, yet, with those np g le a ot s yt e ,e s s,d w , i G t h akrn w do . n h we i which 8 ,t ase n a si r B h u a r d . purpose e a their e t d y e s o t f r E u m c ii t ee i t v ra e tnl l a n q i e tia ,6s i o i t l : uti e tn s i . da u‘ s T thh o aed e effect uo chlorides this -dme s m en a t g s n c e u si n a t , &aineed. thinetsheesaectginagsebeynstheir compounds,afinity of r of e r n li d eml e e r em ed them by such action inodorous and inert. A. powder, recently manufactured by Mr. Collins, was recommended as a ready means for such purposes ; and the lecturer pointed out the "nitro-acetate of lead , " invented by a w n h d ere d t e h st e ro o y bjec th t e w ir as p t o o i d so e n o o d u o s riz e e ff o e ff c e t n s, sive compounds Mr. Gardner, of the chemical department of this in stitution, as very economical and efficacious, being also at the same time easily accessible to all parties. IR concluding, the lecturer pointed out the difference between deodorizing and disinfecting, the latter pro cess being but imaginary, and likely to lead people into error—that although we may remove by means of various solutions those deleterious gases tending to promote disease, yet the only sure " disinfectant" was the removal of local causes, good ventilation and cleanliness both in our houses and our persons. HOP INTELL IGENCE. BOROUGH, JULY 30.—This morning the accounts come decidedly worse from Mid-Kent. From the Weald of Kent and Sussex the stated improveindnt of last week amounts to nothing. We have a firm market, with few hops on sale. Duty down to 70,000/. MAIDSTONE.—In our best grounds the late rains have done good. Some of the crack grounds begin to " look up," but the weak grounds are foul and un promising. The rains seem to have washed off many of the vermin, and stimulated and refreshed the plant. The growth of our immediate neighbourhood will, however, probably be unequal. The present state of the grounds in this immediate district may be gathered from the following observa vations made during a ramble through the parishes named. In Boxley the grounds have suffered very severely. Bearsted and Thurnham are in the same category, with one or two exceptions. Boughton and Loose will probably grow a good crop for the year. In Linton the Golding grounds are short of bine, but gene rally healthy, and will produce a good, tbough perhaps a short crop. The Joneses look better than the Goldings, end all have improved since the late rain. In the higher parts of Hunton the grounds seem better than in the lower, but though short of bine they appear healthy and likely to grow a few hops. In those parts of Marden near to Hunton, the grounds have suffered greatly, and will scarcely recover. The Yalding grounds are highly favoured, and some are quite as good as those of Boughton and Loose. The West Farleigh grounds are not so good, down towards- the river, -as may be seen higher. up. There are, however, both bad and goody in both localities. Barming, which has been much blighted, is not improving. Some of the pieces look badly, but others will probably pro duce a short crop. The Aylesford grounds are mostly gone, excepting some few pieces. Generally speak ing improvement is visible during the past week, although many grounds ate "past praying for." WATERINGDURY AND. AIEREWORTEL—The hops have not improved within the last week to the extent tharit was supposed they would, and some of the grounds have got worse. BzuricuLET.— , -The hops have not improved gene rally in this parish since last week with the exception l of n y g e t c y ci fe: great A r a 9 t v o e t t n a e t gi i h n t n u r s b e t n g t h b b e o r u e i u n l . parishes (Yalding, &c.) but that is confwed to a small space, consequently will not svvell the duty as some may calculate. Our annual hop dinner takes place on Wednesday. HAIVILERIRST.—ThiS district, which is of consider able magnitude, is still bad, apd the crop will be only a few on the top in the best grounds, in others, none at all. . IGIITHAM AND SEAL—With the exception of a few grounds which continue slowly to improve, the hops are looking very. bad. Waornam.—The hops are not looking at all well this week. They are nearly as full of insects as ever, and look very black. Considerable fears are entei tained that there will be very few hops here this season, as there is no time for them to recover. ' MALLING.—The improvement in some grounds is very slight, and the young shoots and burr are still 'ollowed up by the vermin, while other grounds are looking worse daily. CRANBROOK. — The late showers have had the effect of bringing out the burr in some of the grounds, but there is still a considerable deal of bine which is any ting but promising. CANTEUBURY. — The bine has recently made some improving shoots, and there is hope among the planters that Canterbury will contribute its quota of the anticipated low duty. The speculations with the betting men are very confined, and few are bold enough to back 100,000, but there are such either from judgment and hazard, or because it "suits their book. BOUGHTON MALHERBE AND KENNINGTON —The hops in these parishes and neighbourhood are very black, and full of vermin, and from the shortness of bine the crop must be very small, although some im provement is visible since the late showers. EDENBRIDGE.—There is an improvement in some of the strongest bine, but the weak do but little if anything. ORPINGTON.—The late storms have washed the hops, and made them look better, and the hilla that were possible to improve have done so, but the others remain in statu quo, upon the whole they look more propitious, with less vermin. HURSTGRERN.—The late rains have improved some plantations that were in an improving state, but others have gone worse and are judged past recovery. The general accounts do not appear to warrant an advance of duty. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, JULY 30.—We refrained from transmitting you a re port of the state of the hop plantations last week, in the hope that we should be able to speak more con fidently of an improvement at the present time, but we are sorry we cannot do so. A small portion of Farnham is still looking well, as also a few acres in the country; but the very great proportion of the dis trict, which were struck so hard with the blight, is past recovery, and is certainly looking worse since the abundant and fine rain with which we have been favoured.—Maidstone Gazette. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.--TUESDAY.--We have again to report a considerable falling off in that ac• iivity which has been so evident for the last month or two. The past week has witnessed less inquiry for all kinds of goods, and there is little doubt but that foreign buyers have become well stocked for some time to come, and that there will now be a pause in their operations. Besides which prices as quoted from the Indit!n h e t earkt can scarcely be said to be as favourable as might ilvith have the been expected.

A genetat fin-pres eon appears to prevail that when the tubular bridge was floated the whole operation was coaiple.ted,; but this, if it may be so termed, is a Vulgar - error. The floating was nothing more than thelaunch o f th e g r e at iron ferry to the precise site from whence ,it has now to be raised by mechanical pbwer sp4fally con structed for the purpose, to a height nearly equal to that of St. Paul's. The stroke of' the hydraulic presses employed for the purpose is six feet; that is__ to say, sustainedt hey Theon lytwhnb be ileeot the 2,000 capable e pr e sofpresses nshas raisingar eloweredo s i c t n s s i eci x unfenenedt a for feet at t to lift. ne e hold obtained. This sustentation, owing to the im- mense magnitude of the labour, will be effected by building up successive layers of masonry, at every six feet lift, under the tube, to support it secursly in its up ward ascent, during which arrangements will be made for another six-feet hoist, until the whole 100 feet are finished. Were it not for this process of building up, the operation would olny cocupy about a day; but as it is, it will take a fortnight. _Thiaprecaution-has been adopted by Mr. Stephenson an d M r . Cl ar k to guard against the probability of casualty, seeing that, should an accident occur, the labour of years and the outlay of half a million would besinevitably unk. To insure security, however, some contrivances are adopted by which the supporting chains as they rise are to be continually followed up by wedges of wood, so that in the event of any accident arising to the lifting machinery, no injury, it is expected, would happen to the tube, the first lift of which, should no unforeseen accident arise, will take to morrow (Tues day), or if not then, on Thursdas. The mechanical contrivances for the purpose are the largest in the world, and the most powerful ever constructed. Favoured by Mr. Clark, one of the able engineers of the works, we are enabled, from a close personal inspection, and the advantage of that gentleman's explanations, to give a description of the vast apparatus for hoisting the huge burden. The machine used to effect this is an enormous hydraulic press, a contrivance invented by Bramah, and used in operations where intense pressure is re quired. Its construction is of the most simple charac ter, and consists only of an exceedingly thick and heavy iron cylinder, like a mortar. A strong piston, or plunger, also of iron, called the rain, works up and down inside this cylinder, and is fitted with a leather collar at the shoulder, so as to render it .water-tight. Water is forced into the cylinder by a force-pump, through a small orifice which may be compared to the touch hole of a gun, and this water gradually forces up the piston. The whole secret of the im mense power of these machines consists simply in the prodigious force with which the water is driven into them, and which, in the present instance, says my informant (Mr. Clark), is so great that it would throw the water to a height of nearly 20,000 feet, which is more than five times as high as the neigh • bouring noble pinnacle of Snowdon, and 5,000 feet higher than the monarch of mountains, Mont Blanc. It, in fact, resembles the piston of a steam engine, but instead of using steam at 30lbs. or 40lbs. pressure to the inch, water is used at a pressure of 8,0001b5. or 9,0001b5. The cylinder, of course, is of almost adamantine strength, to enable it to sustain and with stand this pressure. The sides of the largest of the presses used in raising the bridge are 11 ir.ches thick. The weight of the cylinder, which is of cast-iron. in one piece, is 16 tons alone, but the whole machine complete is 40 tons. The ram or piston working within it is 20 inches in diameter, and if worked to its utmost power, this press would alone be quite ca pable of raising one of the tubes. The marvellous thing above all is this—that, in spite of its immense proportions, its stupendous action is guided and con trolled with the most perfect ease and precision by one man. This hydraulic giant was constructed by Messrs. Easton and Amos, engineers, of Southwark. It stands on two beams, in a lofty sort of eyrie at the top of one of the towers, from whence a grand and open view is obtained of the straits seaward: while its elevation above the ravine is upwards of two hundred feet. The press is composed of wrought-iron plate, rivetted together at the top of the side towers, where, with its assistant machinery, it occupies a large chamber to itself, about 29 feet above the level to which the bridge has to be raised. The sensations experienced on looking down from this lofty elevation, over the rushing stream of the straits, and the great tubes and machinery strewn round about below, are of a peculiarly impressive character. In addition to this large press, there are two smaller presses, with ramslB inches in diameter, placed side by side at a similar level in the Britannia tower, and which act in conjunction with the large press. The chains by which the power exerted by the presses in their lofty position is communicated to the tube lying at the base of the tower, resemble the chains of an ordinary suspension bridge, and are similar to those of the bridge at Hungerford. They were manufac tured by the patent process of Messrs. Howard and Ravenhill, of London, and consist of flat links, 7 inches broad, 1 inch thick, and 6 feet in length, with an eye at each end, and are bolted together in sets of eight and nine linkS alternately. The weight of these chains employed in lifting the 2,000 tons is about 100 tons, far exceeding that of the well-known equestrian statute of the Duke of Wellington at Hyde-park, which has hitherto been regarded as one of the greatest "lifts" of the age. These chains are attached to the tube at two feet from the end ; and in order to get sufficient purchase at the part, three strong frames of cast iron are built into each end of the tube. The innermost frame only stiffens and supports the sides while the tube is resting on its ends. The two outer frames are the lifting frames. The chains are attached to these by three sets of massive cast-iron beams, placed across the inside of the . tube, one above another, their ends fitting under deep shoulders or notches in the lifting frames, where they are secured by screw bolts. As an additional security, two very strong wrought-iron straps pass over the upper pair of beams, and descend into the bottom cells beneath the frames, where they are strongly keyed. The weight of these lifting frames and cast-iron beams is 200 tons ; and it is even a matter of wonder among the engineers themselves how machinery can be made strong enough to raise the ponderous lead. The way in which the chains are connected with the press is by an exceedingly thick and heavy beam of cast-iron, strengthened by wrought-iron ties across the top. It rests like a yoke upon the shoulder of the ram, and is called the cross head of the press. The two chains pass through square holes at either end of the cross head, and are se curely gripped at the top of it by an apparatus called the clams, consisting of two strong cheeks of wrought iron, drawn together by screws, like a blacksmith's vice 1 The beams on which the presses stand, the crossheads, and all the parts that are subjected to a very heavy strain, are either c onstructed ofo beo iron. or strengthened by wrought iron, which is found t less brittle and more trustwo rth y than cast As the tube is twelve feet lon g er, allowing six feet at each end, than the distance between the towers in which these presses work, recesses or grooves are left in the face of each of them six feet deep, in order to receive the additional length, and of sufficient width to allow the end of the tube to slide up easily within them. These recesses extend from the bottom of the towers to nearly the height of the hydraulic machines. It is in the low end of these recesses, on a soft bed of timber placed to receive it, that the great tube since its successful floating, has been lying in state across the estuary of the straits, until these vast mechanical equipments for ballooning it to its per manent level, 102 feet above high watts-mark, were completed.
