" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to •three quarterns of oats, costing 744. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 ICs. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of professional criticism and empirical hostility, treatis in aplain and sympathishy , manner on the various disqtAlifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record. London : Published by J. Allen, 20, Warwick Lane, Pater noster-row; Mann, 29, Cornbill. Hvura of Consultation-10 to 3 and 6to 8; Sundays, 10 till a. PERTH, THURSDAY. The Inches aro two-park like meadows on which the city dairy cows depasture and the children disport, along the mar gin of the broad-flowing Tay, there the bare-ankled " lair Maids of Perth" bleach their washing, and their fathers haul in nets of leaping salmon ; and it is on the South Inch that some 20 acres have been enclosed by the boarding of the society's showyard. The implement de partment, already described, occupies the southern portion of the ground ; on the north and east sides are the ranges of horse-boxes ; and in the centre the substantial boarden roofed sheds for cattle, sheep, and pigs, together amount ing to more than a mile in length. Other sheds are occu pied by the poultry, the dairy produce, and the always appreciated accessory of first and second classrefreshments- The prizes awarded embrace £340 for cattle, £220 for horses, £272 for sheep, £54 for swine, £5O for dairy pro duce, and £193 for implements, being a total of £1,135; to which are added 238 gold, silver, and bronze medals. The number of entries are—of cattle, 338; of horses, 155; of sheep, 616 ; of swine, 79 ; of poultry, 360 ; and of dairy produce, 91. The cattle classes are divided for short-horn, polled, Ayrshire, Highland, fat stock, and extra stock. The handsome, red and white, white, or roan-coloured shorthorn may never dispossess the black or dim-coloured, rough-coated Scot from his native green glens under snow - covered peaks in the loftier regions of North Britain, but this pride of English breeds has now gained entire posses sion of all the arable districts in the south-eastern counties; it is rapidly spreading along the whole lowlands of the east coast, and is known in every arable tract throughout all Scotland, and their importance is visible in the fact that no less than 104 shorthorns aro entered, though only two are from English exhibitors. Many very creditable animals are observable, as the aged bulls of Mr. Cruickshank, of Sittyton, Aberdeen, and Mr. Campbell, of Blackburn, Aberdeen ; also the bull of Mr. Anderson, of Bridge of Allan; the Duke of Montrose's bull in the same class; Mr. Balfour's, of Prestonkirk, yearling bull; and especi ally the beautful yearling heifers of Mr. Douglas, of Drew, which carry away all three prizes in their class. In the aged cow class Mr. Booth, of Warlaby, of course, walks off with a couple of prizes for his red and white " Queen of the Vale," and his roan " Queen Mab," both splendid specimens of what a short-horn eow should be. We were sorry to find none of Captain Gunter's "Duchesses," nor any specimen of the superb Towneley herd, and, indeed, we cannot rank the entire show as one of peculiar merit. The Highland breed of cattle have come up in some force, there being 67 entries, and the individual excellence of so many animals has never been equalled before. The com paratively moist climate, mild winter, and grassy wilds of the Hebrides have developed and maintained the breed of Kyloe or West Highland (or Island) cattle, adapted more than any other for its peculiar feeding grounds ; hardy, easily fed, and thriving on coarse herbage, in circumstances where the daintier shorthorn could hardly exist. The West Highla'id ox has a wide and deep chest, short mus cular limbs, long upturned horns, a thick coat of long shaggy hair ; his flesh and fat are laid on equably in the best parts, and the beef is of afine-grained, marbled, highly flavoured quality, that makes him a prime favourite with the butcher. Of this breed there are differences in size—the animals from Islay, the southernmost island, being the largest, while the small Isle of Skye cattle are the most valued for their hardiness, and are chiefly sought by the pure breeders. The Duke of Athole, the Marquis of Brea dalbane, and Mr. Pollok, of Tarbert, show some remarkably fine bulls ; and these eminent breeders are joined by the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, Lady Menzies, Mr. M‘Laren, of Blair Athole, and others, in a rare show of cows and heifers of this interesting and noble variety of domes ticated and developed native cattle. The polled Galloway, native of Kirkcudbright and Dum fries, has been called " a Kyloe without horns," but is of larger frame, more docile, and apter to fatten, adapted to a lower range of grazing land. The excellence of the flesh, more than ordinarily laid on in those parts which are good for roasting, has made these Scots popular with English graziers. The general form is compact, round, and deep, with short clean legs, and the coat, of long, soft, silky hair, is usually of a brown colour, though occasionally brindled brown, or even dun or drab. The cows are good milkers, the milk yielding a very large proportion of butter. Aberdeenshire breeds and grazes more cattle than any other county in Scotland ; for, while the climate on the hills and on the ridges of the Grampians is cold enough, the mildness and equality of temperature of the lowlands skirt ing the sea is comparable to that of south-eastern England. The Highland cattle are in the elevated districts, and the black or brindled Aberdeen breed, with hair shorter and thinner, divides the remainder of the county with the intro duced short-horn and the now prevalent admirable cross of the two. The Galloways, Aberdeenshire, and Angus cattle are classed together as "Polled," there being 67 entries, Mr. Lyell, of Kirriemuir, Mr. Walker, of Banff, trustees of Mr. Robert Scott, of Brechin, &c., being prize•-takers. The counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and Lanark, comprising a fourth of the population of Scotland, and with a large extent of coast washed by the Frith of Clyde and the North Chan nel, are well fitted, both by the demand for dairy produce and the natural moisture of climate, for developing an un surpassed breed of mulch cattle. The Ayrshires, sleek skinned, red and white, with fine hoims twisting upwards, having rather long faces, with docile expression, and white, capacious udders, are not only splendid milkers upon little food, but are extremely hardy, withstanding the severities of winter in a bleak country, and responding with the alacrity of a thriving disposition to the return of warm weather and better keep. There are 67 entries of Ayrshires, forming a particularly good show; Mr. M'Kean, of Bishop briggs, Mr. Stewart, of Strathaven, the Earl of Strath more, &c., taking honours. Unlike our English meeting there is here a class of fat stock—an important department for the grazier, and and of peculiar significance in North Britain ; for, only a century ago, when Glasgow had 30,000 inhabitants, the slaughter of cattle for the supply of the public market was wholly unknown, though at present both Glasgow and other mat cities of Scotland e,,t their share of fresh meat in much the same pr portion as we do in London. In this class we observe many very heavy well-fed oxen, chiefly shorthorn crosses. In the Extra Stock class are some of the yellowish white Abbel breed, with upturned horns, apparently descendants of the aboriginal wild Caledonian cattle ; also some of the fawn-coloured Alderneys, and specimens of the small Brit tany breed. The interesting Shetland breed is not repre sented. These Lilliputian cattle—lank and ill-shaped as far as their figure is discernible through the long pile of thick hair which covers them for protection against snow and sleet, contrive to make themselves into beef most deli • cious and tender, though only up to some 15 or 20 stones in weight. They are not able to maintain health in the southern lowlands, and are alone adapted to their inclement island wildernesses of precipices, rocks, and pools. Coming now to the sheep, it is observable that the fine spun British wool, likened by Roman historians to the spider's thread, and which was woven into ceremonial robes worn in the Imperial city, was not the produce of Cale donia; or, at any rate, the present native breeds of sheep possess fleeces of a medium or middle-wool character. Three distinct breeds apportion among them almost the entire sur face of Scotland. These are the black-faced, the Cheviots, and the Leicesters. Whether or not the black-faced or heather sheep was first located in Ettrick Forest, it has become the prevailing breed in districts of coarsest herbage and most ungenial clime. The face and legs are mottled black and white ; the massive horns have tiro or more spiral twists; the eye is full of life and fire; the fleece, resembling in length of staple some of the Lowland breeds, is somewhat coarse and thinly set, the humid atmosphere of the northern sheep walks having the effect of lengthening and opening the wool. The chief breeding districts are the hills of Lanark, Dum fries, and Ayr, supplying the graziers of the high and stormy Grampians and other elevated regions. These sheep are ready feeders, at about 161 b. per quarter, and oc casionally up to double that weight ; they have a large proportion of loose tallow to the carcass, and their flesh possesses more of a venison-like flavour than that of any other breed. In extensive districts now cleared of men and black cattle immense flocks of both black-faces cnd Cheviots occupy the northern sheep 'walks, and fill the great fairs of Donne and Falkirk, for sale to the Lothian and south country turnip farmer. The little agile mountain sheep are alone capable of en during the deep sno w -d r ift s th roug h w hi c h th e y di g f or a scanty bit of mossy pasture ; th e y alo n e have the peculiar instincts which warn them to rocky shelves and clefts on sheltered declivities a t th e approach of the fur i ous High land hurricanes; and indeed their habits are singular and interesting—they mutually protect each other, and wild amble deg e . n a There t o a t h r e e 7 s 4 a g e n a c t r i ie n s: tril:anouagghemtheneyt ofb et,heareeheaplhwerady,se and the show is considered extraordinarily good. Among the best pens are those of Mr. Campbell, of Lochgilhead, Mr. MacLaren, of Monzie, Mr. Murray, of Pennicuik, &c. The substitution of sweet and more nutritious grasses for heath and rushes is enabling the Cheviot sheep to supplant the black-face in many mountain districts, though the lat ter breed will always hold an immense tract in undisputed possession. So rapidly have the Cheviots increased in the Highlands since their introduction there by Sir John Sin clair,: that at Inverness fair upwards of 100,000 sheep, and as many stones of wool, are yearly`disposed of, the greater portion being of this breed. These sheep—with white faces and legs, no horns, no wool on the head, rather long legs, a long body, narrow chest, full large hind-quarters. and long woolly tails —are natives of the steep trap hills in Northum berland and South Scotland, from which the breed is named ; and the comparatively dry soil and good herbage have pro duced a short, close, and valuable quality of fleece, weigh ing about 41b. Greater attention has been bestowed upon the Cheviot than upon the black-facedsheep lA i mprove ment by selection in breeding, and good feeding and shep herding ; and latterly the demands of the wool market have led to the development of the modern Cheviot fleece, longer, heavier, more open, and less fine than formerly. The vast variety in the physical aspect of the sheep .walks produces shades of difference in the breeds best adapted to particular localities, so that crosses between Leicester and Cheviot are also largely in favour. There are 33 entries, Mr. Brydon, of Langholm, and Mr. Barthwick, of the same place, being the chief winners of prizes. \Ye can hardly omit to notice another and singular Scotch breed--not present, however, at the show. The tiny sheep of the Shetland and Orkney Islands, weighing some 301 b. when fully fat, has to withstand the continual storms, often so tremendous that the eagles hold on to the crags by their talons ; and his fleece is therefore composed of two coats, an inner one of gray wool or thick fur, with long hair growing through it; and at the beginning of the sum mer season the sheep sheds the true wool, which is pulled off by hand, not shorn, so as to leave the hairy mantle for protection. This droll animal, wonderfully adapted by nature to his habitat, feeds in the sharp winter months upon sea-weed left by the sinking tide (the flocks perceiving by instinct the time of the ebb),l and in times of pinching scarcity will browse, it is said, even on dried fish and other animal food. The extent to which the Leicesters are being used for crossing the native sheep appears in the change in the kind of stock at the great border markets within 50 years. The great lamb fairs of St. Boswell's and Melrose are mainly supplied from the grazing districts of Berwick, Roxburgh, Selkirk, and Peebles. Fcrmerly the one was composed of pure Cheviots, and the other cif black-faces ; now not a single Cheviot lamb is to be seen at St. Boswell's, or a black-face at Melrose ; the former fair being now a show of Leicesters or of Cheviot and Leicester crosses, while the latter consists of Cheviots and tresses. Turnip-husbandry, draining, and liming have created a greater demand for store sheep to eat the enlarged quantities of focid, and breeders are supplying the ever-increasing want by improving the old sorts by selection, by crossing with other varieties, or exchanging altogether for a more pro fitable description of animal. Leicesters occupy the larger share of the sheep-pens in the yard, there being no less than 111 entries ; the generality, however, bearing a very different character to the well-known types of sym metry and fine quality that take prizes at our English show, Mr. White, of Dunning; Mr. Beattie, of Annan ; Mr. Din ning, of Belford, Northumberland ; Mr. Simpson, of Lau der, &c., being specially great in the class. Some 21 entries of Cotswolds, proposed for crossing with the Cheviots, in which the Earl of Wemyss and March, Lord Kinnaird, and Mr. Gibson, of Woolmet, are success ful; a show of 25 pens of SouthdoWns, in which the Duke of Richmond, Mr. Scot Skirving, and the Earl of SOuthesk win prizes; and a few extra stock t complete a good display in the ovine classes. Of the small show of pigs we have little to remark, ex cept that Mr. Harrison, of Heaton Norris, and Mr. Wain man, of Crosshills, are among the exhibitors. If England may be proud of her massive dray and big black carthorses, Scotland may justly boast of her Clydes dales. They are said to have originated in a cross of the old native packhorse with some imported Dutch mares. They are powerful 16-hands horses, with fine small heads and great activity, their natural lively pace enabling them to get through more ploughing in a day than more sluggish breeds of draught animals, while no description of horse is better adapted for single-horse carts. The object of the improving the breeds is to lessen their tendency to a light body and rather too lengthy legs. The prevailing colours are bay and brown with black legs, occasionally with one or more white feet, and there are also many blacks and grays, and a tem chestnuts. There are 129 entries, forming a splendid show, the mares and three,year- olds being remarkably fine. A few ponies and extra stock horses complete this thoroughly business and agricultural portion of the show. Of course the poultry are out of feather, but, with the dairy department of "powdered butter," "imitation Eng lish" cheese, &c., they formed a focus of attraction for lady visitors. We missed the grand collections of seeds, roots, and cereal specimens, &c., of Lawson and Son, of Edinburgh, and other seedsmen, together with the stalls of flax, wool, and other ageicultural productions, which add an interest to our English meetings. There has been a fair gatherinaof visitors, in spite of weather like a late cold-stream entertainment that con verted a horticultural occasion into a shower-flow ; the banquet passed off merrily under the presidency of his grace the Duke of Atholl ; the ball of course will be decidedly satisfactory, and the special trains are sure to bring in a large concourse to-morrow,—possibly to relieve the minds of implement makers, who are finding business dull at this otherwise successful meeting. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.-THURSDAY. The beautiful trysting-place of the south of England ap peared yesterday to have more charms than ever for the sightseers ; no one was alarmed at the murky appearance of the miming ; but all mho love a race meeting in its holiday garb hastened towards the Grand Stand. Right well were they repaid for the troubles of the toilet and the journey, for the sun broke forth before the sport commenced, and wel comed an enormous assemblage of smiling faces to the mossy slopes of the prettiest race-course in England. Long before the appointed time every seat was engaged, and a brilliant day's sport was witnessed by a brilliant multitude. The Cup was the all-absorbing topic of conversation, and betters were busy on its result between the races which preceded it. Op. timist went out of the market, and Starke advanced steadily in favour, but nothing occurred to shake the firmness of the Wizard and Thormanby• Several splendid contests took place during the day, one of the finest being that for the Bentinek Memorial, won by the Knight of St. Patrick. The finest race of the day was that which ought to be the finest— the Cup. So closely was that handsome vase contended fsr by the American horse Starke, and the English horse the Wizard, that bets were laid upon the issue even after they had passed the winning -post. The Molecomb produced an interesting race between three 2-yr-olds, in which Ace of Clubs redeemed his lost laurels of Wednesday, and the other 2-yr-old stake, which closed the day's amusement, showed Bertha, half• sister to Nutbourne, in a very favourable light, for she won in the commonest of canters, and walked over for her other engagement, which stood last upon the card, Th e Racing Stakes of 50 sous each, for 3-yr-olds; colts to ca rry Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 41b.

On rounding the turn out of the str a i g ht Pl umper i ncrease d hi s lead, Ebony at the same time ran into th e secon d pl ac e, with Rupee third and Roesia next, but on reaching the Craven post the three last closed and ran abrea s t to the top of the hill, where Rupee , in company with Roesia, got uponbettir terms with the leaders , Plumper still leading. On reaching the distance Rupee was beaten, and Was passed by Roesia, who went on in attendance upon the two leaders to half way in the rails, where Ebony was in difficulties, and at the Stand was reached by Roesia, the p a i r gamely strug gling on to the end, but without a chance of the race, Plumper winning in a canter by four lengths. Roesia, running the longest, secured the second honours by a head; Rupee was next, and Ellen last, but they did not pass the post.

Pretendant and Surprise were struck out at 1.15 p.m. Precisely at the time set down the horses left the post ; Wallace made the =lag at a cracking pace, Starke lying second, followed past the stand by Royallieu, Optimist, and Wizard ; then came Thormanby, Doefoot, Lady Clifden, and Mon Etoile in the order we have given to the hill, going up which Wallace increased his lead considerably, and was up wards of six lengths in advance of Mr. Ten Broeck's horse as they neared the Craven post, Royallieu going on third, Wizard fourth, and Thormanby next, with the others fol lowing in Indian file, the last two being Lady Clifden and Mon Etoile. On reappearing in sight Wallace was still in possession of the lead, which gradually decreased as they proceeded up the hill, Starke in company with Royal lieu, Wizard, Optimist, and Thormanby drawing towards the front as they reached the brow. On rounding the turn for home Wallace gave evident symptoms of distress, and, although he gamely struggled on, was in a few strides further passed in succession by Starke, Royallieu, and Wizard ; Optimist, with Thormanby and Doefoot, following in close order. At the distance Royallieu was beaten, Thor mark, following suit in a few strides after, and their places were taken by Optimist, who, in company with Wizard, waited upon the leader to the entrance to the rails, when the favourite ran by his horses, and came on with a clear lead, Starke lying second, and Optimist third, on the Stand side of the course, the three running extremely wide to the Stand, when Fordham called upon his horse, who answered in the most gallant manner, and after a protracted finish landed the American colours first by a head only, Wizard defeating Optimist by three lengths for the second money ; Thormanby finished a bad fourth ; Mon Etoile, who ran through as the others were pulling up, was fifth, Wallace, sixth, Doefoot next, and Royallieu and Lady Clifden the two last. Run in 4 minutes 50 seconds. The Molecombe Stakes of 50 sous each, h ft, for 2-yr-olds ; colts to carry Bst 7113 ; fillies, Bst 41b. Winners extra.

Master Fenton cut out the work, followed by the Adine filly and Ace of Clubs to the distance, where he dropped back, and the running was taken up by Villette, who car ried it on to the stand, where the Ace of Clubs got to her head, and wen cleverly by a neck, Villette beating Master Fenton by half a length for second ; Costa was a bad fourth.

Betting-4 to 1 each agst Gibraltar and Asteroid, sto 1 each agst Lupellus and Buccaneer, 7 to 1 each agst Spice box, Rufus, and Ripon. Some delay was caused by Rufus refusing to face the flag. When the flag was lowered Buccaneer jumped away with the running, which he carried on for the first two hundred yards, when he was passed by Ripon, who, in cempany with Spicebox on the rails and Gibraltar in the centre, came on in front to the distance, where Spicebox took a commanding lead, followed by Asteroid, Gibraltar, Lupellus, and Buccaneer, to which lot the race was con fined. At the stand the three placed closed and ran altogether to the chair—Spicebox winning cleverly by a neck, two lengths between the second and third, Lupellus was fourth, and Buccaneer fifth ; the others were scattered over the course.

DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. This wager, nearly 150 years old, was rowed for yester day. The competitors on this occasion were : Wm. James Hemmings Wm. Riley ................ Thomas Goggan Alfred Waller Blaekwall. Samuel Short .....• Edward James Wm. Wright Bankside. The Ant prize ie a livery and badge given by Mr. Thu. Doggett, deceased, to which the Fishmongers' Company add a guinea. The second and third prizes aro respectively five eighths and three-eighths of the interest on £260 17s. 3d., formerly £2OO. South Sea Stock, left in the will of Sir Wm. Jolliffe, the amounts respectively being £1 17s. 9d. and £2 18s. 9d. The prize for the fourth man is £1 Ils. 6d., and for the fifth and sixth men each Is., the last three given by the company. I hese are the usual prizes, but this year Mr. Frank Towers, of the Victoria Theatre, announced that he should give the winner three guineas, and the second and third men a guinea each, which were accordingly pre sented at the theatre last night. Mr. Dards, the bargetnaster of the Fishmonger's Company, was, as usual, the umpire, and got the men to their stations at London -bridge, whence they had to row against tide to the Old Swan, at Chelsea. Each had his cut ter with him, and three steamers crammed with spectators accompanied. Hemmings was nearest the Middlesex shore, and Wright nearest Surrey. There were several false starts, but at length all but Short got away well. For 200 yards Hemmings, Goggan, Waller, and .and Riley had trifling leads, but then, as they settled down more, Waller drew out and was 'well clear at Southwark bridge, Goggan and Riley being together, Hemmings fourth, Wright and Short astern. At Blackfriars Hem mings had become third, and shortly afterwards Wright was passed by Riley. At Waterloo another change had occurred, Short, till now last, passed Riley, and drew up to Wright, who was making desperate efforts to pass Hemmings. A splendid race ensued among the whole lot to near Hung& ford, when Wright went into the third place, and left Short and Hemmings hard at work till the latter had to succumb, and pres en tl y lit t l e Ril ey aga i n passe d hi m . Now they came to Westmi ns t er -b r id ge, W a ll er an d G oggan _ were still first and second, Goggan fast drawing on his opponent, when being fouled seriously under the bridge, Waller went well a-head, Goggan still remaining second, and Short rowing up third. At this point Hemmings fouled the bridge seriously, and Wright having done the same at llungerford both fell dead astern. Waller now, as we have said, led well, with Goggan second, and presently Riley passed Short by reason of the latter hugging the Surrey shore. At Lambeth, however, he rowed across the bight with a splendid spurt into the third place, and Waller and Goggan seeing him cutting down one man after another, began to put the steam on more. By the Penitentiary, however, Short gradually approached Goggan. He fouled two barges in succession very heavily, and met with other mishaps, but still he gained, and at Vauxhall -bridge was within a length of his man. A. fine close race now followed to about Nine elms Pier, when after being level for 100 yards, Short rowed into second place in a splendid manner. He now seemed somewhat fatigued, but thergwas a long way to go yet, and as they rowed along Thames Bank he slowly but surely ap proached the leading man, who was now rowing at his very best, and at Messrs. Smith's distillery Short was over his stern. A splendid race followed, Waller ever and anon spurting away and then crossing his man when he found him too close, but at length, when they had passed the Sus - pension-bridge, and were within a quarter of a mile of home, Short drew level, and amid deafening shouts, at last went in front, and won by three lengths in three-quarters of an hour from starting, against a very strong tide. Waller was second, G oggan third, and Riley fourth, all close toge ther. THE INTENDED NEW BRIDGE AT BLACKFRIARS. It is just about a century since Blackfriars bridge was first built, and very nearly a quarter of a century since it began to show chronic symp toms of failure and decay. Its history is very much the same as that of all our old metropolitan bridges •viz., a cheap structure at first, but costing im . mense sums afterwards to keep it in repair. Now, however, further repairs are quite out of the ques tion. The safety of the public renders a new bridge absolutely necessary, and we are glad of it, Eor the new structure it has been decided to erect in its place will be the finest and handsomest of its kind in England, if not in Europe. The plan for the erection of a bridge at Black friars began in 1753, while the never-ending im provements and repairs of old London-bridge had almost completely stopped that venerable, but im portant thoroughfare. There were, of course, the usual disputes and clashing interests in the Court of Common Council of that day fitgrano 'whether a bridge was wanted at all, and next, if wanted, where it ought to be. Eventually, however, after the usual delays, Blackfriars was chosen as the site, and in consequence of a petition from the cor poration to Parliament in 1756 an act was passed authorising the erection. The act further stipulated that it should be so constructed as to allow a clear water way of 750 feet, "and that no buildings ex cept the proper gates and toll-houses" should be erected on the bridge. It also provided for " the watching and lighting," and regulated the amount of tolls to be levied upon the credit of which the corporation were empowered to raise £30,000 per annum till the whole estimated cost of the struc ture, amounting to £160,000, was cleared off. The same act also empowered them to fill up the chan nel of old Bridewell dock, to arch over Fleet-ditch, " and make sufficient drains and sewers into the river." The Bridge Committee from a variety of plans chose that of Mr. Mylne, a Scotch architect, who had just returned from Rome, and under his auspices the bridge was begun on piles, the first of which was driven in the centre of the river on the 7th June, 1760. On the last day of October, in the same year, the first stone was formally laid with much state by the Lord Mayor, Sir Thos. Chitty. Under the stone were deposited money in gold, silver, and copper coins of the reign of George 11., together with the silver medal given to the archi tect by the Roman Academy. With these were also placed a plate containing a Latin inscription eulogising the political merits and social virtues of the " great commoner," - William Pitt," after whom it was originally intended the bridge should be called. But long before it could be formally chris tened it was so well and widely known as Black friars that all attempts to alter its designation afterwards were wisely abandoned. No less than 10 — e ars and three-quart ers were consumed in build ing., it, and it cost from first to last £152,840. The bridge thus built is one of nine arches, and is 995 feet from end to end, with a carriage way of 28 feet, and two foot-paths of seven feet each. The arches are all nearly eliptical, the centre one having a span of 100 feet, those on each side decreasing gradually towards the shores, being respectively 98, 93, 83, and 70, leaving a clear water way of 788 feet. The curve of the bridge is a segment of a largo circle, and the incline to and from it when first opened was as steep as 1 in 16, though this impracticable hill was subsequently reduced to the present slope of 1 in 24. This structure would doubtless have stood well enough to the present day, had not the corporation been' again compelled to take to bridge building and replace old London-bridge with the present superb structure, which, by giving an immensely increased water way, so added to the scour of tt , e Thames that all the bridges soon began to suffer, and the two oldest (Westminster and Blackfriars) to an in curable degree. The money spent in repairs on each of these has probably quite amounted to the ' cost of a new bridge, but now, as we have said, re pairs to Blackfriars are quite impracticable, if not impossible. The scour has deepened the bed of the river under the arches in some places more than 10 feet, generally about seven feet. As the earth was swept away from the piling the foundations of the bridge began to sink. All the care and skill of Mr. Walker have been unable to check this settlement, which has now almost done it s worst, for if any fur ther subsidencb took place the whole structure would o werful go int b t r h o e k r e i n v , e a r n . d is Thoenelyenkterpetaurcphby the is alm ost p com pletelyt imber centering built under it. It vibrates danger ously under the passage of ordinary traffic, and is altogether in an insecure condition. It is- quite true that it might stand for 10 years, but it might also come in ti single week if any further settlement was to happen. The Bridge Committee, under Mr. Valiance, have very properly decided that this is not a satisfactory state for one of the main avenues to the city, and have therefore determined, instead of wasting time and money in tinkering at the old structure, to build a new and splendid one at once. They, therefore, called on the principal engineers in England for designs, and twelve com petitors entered the lists—Mr. Barlow, Mr. Brere ton, Mr. Goodchild, Mr. B run l ees , Mr. Joseph k COI% Messrs. E. Bidder and E. Clarke, Mr. R. W. 67/ andson of the architect e bridg der, Mr. Hawitahaw, nie, Sir John Rennie, and Mr.Oage. 14 On Saturday last the committee decided non. con. a to accept Mr. Page's design, and that gentleman was appointed engineer for its construction. We think the general public will cordially ratify the decision thus arrived at ; for, judging from the design as it now appears on paper, the new bridge will be a structure of which all London may well be proud. The whole design is one of impressive boldness and magnificence. It will be built of mixed granite and iron, but so arranged in its architectural features as to be most graceful in out line, though enormously massive in all its details. Never were such colossal proportions attempted in any bridge before, though the slight curve and enor mous span of the arches give to the whole a lighter and even more graceful effect than we find in the lines of the bridge at Westminster. The design is, in fact, as much superior in simple grandeur and beauty to new Westminster as new Westminster is superior to the ruinous old obstruction it has super bwe- being will coofn the b i s e t g o i a o n n t c y s t p l e e an o f a 2 i s • c o h es feet,, s c ee (the n 1 e t i a • on l e t 40 feet wider than the centre arch of the grim and funereal-looking structure at Southwark. The two side arches will be 220 feet span each, but none will have the high-shouldered look which is gene rally given to arches of this great width by making their rise a high one. From the springing of the arch to the crown will only be a rise of 20 feet, which in a span of such exte n t only amounts to the most gentle curve, and, in fact, when seen from the river the outline will appear to be almost straight. The spandrils of the outer rib on each side will be closed, but filled up with figures in bas - relief and rich ornamental scrollwork. The cornice beneath the parapet is of exceedingly boldeand handsome design, with a parapet above of solid granite. The piers, however, form the most massive and noble looking features of the whole. These will be four in number, all of granite, and of immense size, width, and depth. Each on its extremity will be surmounted with a column of polished red granite, for which in size and massiveness we must look for parallels among the rock-hewn temples of Egypt. They will be Doric columns, 40 feet in height, 23 feet in diameter at base and capital, and no less than 18 feet diameter in• the column. Each of these, though built hollow, will weigh upwards of 500 tons. Their capitals will reach to the summit of the bridge, and it is intended hereafter to surmount them with colossal groups of statuary. The whole structure will only be a few feet longer than the present bridge, but its width will be nearly double —namely, 76 feet against 42. There will be two foot-ways of 14 feet wide, instead of as now two of 7. There will be two tramways of 8-1 feet each. These will be in the centre of the bridge, leaving two roadways of 16 feet each for the light traffic, and omnibuses going and coming. The whole area of road and footway will be nearly 78,000 feet, in stead of 41,000, the area of the present bsidge, which cost per square foot of surface X 3 15s. 6d. The cost of the new bridge is estimated at from £245,000 to X 250,000, which is at the rate of rather less than X 3 Os. a-foot, or, size for size, nearly half the price of the old one.

But, while we do not venture to doubt that be will be able to do this, we cannot help thinking that the old bridge will require the most watchful care to keep it up at all while the works around it are going forward. The immense mass of scaffolding now round and under New Westminster-bridge so impedes the ebb and flow of the tide that the water, when flowing up or down, is 12 or 13 inches higher on one side of the bridge than on the other. When all these obstacles are removed, as they will be by March next, the flux and reflux of the tide will be so much greater, and with this the scour of the river will be increased in proportion. The condition of the sink ing piers of Blaekfriars-bridge, with works going on all around them, will then demand the most anxious care and attention. The piers for the new bridge will be no less than 28 feet wide by 120 feet long. There will be two of these built upon Mr. Page's plan for avoiding the use of coffer dams, in the following manner :—Over the whole area will be driven bearing piles of elm, deep into the clay, at intervals of 3 feet apart. Round this will be driven cast-iron piles to the greatest depth to which they can be forced. These iron piles are of a peculiar shape, and cast with a groove in their side capable of containing the edge of a slab of granite 21 feet thick. Between these iron piles these immense slabs of granite will be slid. to a depth of nearly twelve feet below the bed of the river, and rising to low water mark. All the area of the pier thus enclosed will then be carefully dredged out between the bearing piles, and the slabs of gra nite, iron piles, and elm all firmly bolted together by a series of iron do rods. The space will then be filled in with concrete up to a little below low water mark, where the courses of solid granite commence. The whole pressure on the foundations will not exceed three tons per foot, very much less than half of what most of the metropolitan bridges exert on their bases. The arches are to be formed c e a o s ni t b iron r n o e n d . up A t s o i io n . e ll; e t s h t e mofinwsrtoeurg, h th t e a y n w d i c ll as b t e ir o o r n crown of the arch, and the rest of wrought iron ribs. Thus, of the 280 feet span of the centre arch, about 100 feet will be of wrought iron. The two smaller arches, (..f 220 feet, will have about 70 feet of wrought metal. In all, abou'. 5,000 tons of cast iron, and 1,000 tons of wrought will be re quired. On the crown of the centre arch the city arms, with its supporters, will be emblazoned ; over the side arches the city shield. The ap proaches to the bridge will be wider and at a much less steep incline than at present, the gradient being reduced from one in 24 to one in 4.0, while the highest part of the structure will be a little more than 9 feet lower than the present. The surface of the foot and roadways will be formed , a s _ at Westminster, by buckle plates of iron fastened layer of between the ribs. Over this will be a the layer blocks of wood and asphalte, and overall and of granite pitching. Every rib . girder will be it gill be required tested to about double the strain to bear. near proximity of d his suspension bridges whole a fate to have some of his the c ihuexl Chelsea seems to be Mr.Pa t g hh e e : best designs spoilt by . rail way bridges, as Telford.

Thus, I at Conway and Suspension -bridge has, since its completion, been almos t hidden by Mr. Fowler's railway viaduct , and the still grander architectural design of Black friars will, in like manner, be hemmed in by Cubitt's bridge, which is said to come as near it as 100 feet or no. Th e latter is a real grievance, and we weuld venture to suggest that, befo re the p lans of each have b een carried too f ar to admit of remedy, some arrangement should be come to to prevent the fine structra e intended bein g utterly marred and hidden. - Yio day has yet been fixed for the ge commen e,e.ment of the w orks, but as they will occupy at least t2areeyears,no time should be lost in setting about tb em. How the old bridge will bear the dis turb a . nee that must take place at its foundations in sinning the piers for the new one, it is hard to say. `;vetting the foundations for the railway bridge must a l so , we should think, affect them materially, and. ithis is another reason why there should be as little delay as possible in commencing. In any case addi tional measures of precaution must be ta.ken with the old bridge before next March, when the seal fc, 'Ming will be removed from Westminster, and the so our of the river increased. It will, therefore, be so much expense saved if this is done by means of tb i e works of the new structure.
