It must be re - membered that not only had a new bridge to be built, but an old one to be taken away, and the last of its old stumps of piers dragged out from the b-A of th? river, before a stone of the new structure cou!il be laid. The first preliminary work of clear. ing the ground and the water was one of unusual difficulty, for the arch _is were so ready to fall that it required no 'ordinary skill on the piri, of Mesars. Cubitt and Case, the engineers, to keep them from t tunblin; into the river. On the other hand, the piers which mar:: SO ditugerous became when it was wanted to remove them possessed of a strength and tenacity which had they shown before they woul I never hav e been meddled with at all. It was most difficult to remove them, and then all the new piers had to be laid in the broken ground. The abutments, as we have said, were easily built, and are as s did and as little likely to move as the counties of Surrey and Middlesex on which they rest. With the piers, however, it was a much mare difficalt matter. There are only four of them, but each of apse four goes to an average depth of more than 30ft. below the bed of the river. In no case were the foun dations of any of these piers commenced till the blue Loudon clay had been reached and till every atom of moisture had been excluded from the base ment. They were bait in caissons—that is to say,-hr — wrought iron tubes open at both ends, which were lowered over the precise spots on which the piers were to rise. They were pumped out, then forced down by massive weights deep into the soil, then dredged out inside, then weighted again till they sank deeper and deeper, and so on till the clay was penetrated and they would go no further, and were as dry inside as so many gasometers, which, on a small scale, indeed; they much resembled. Then only when all was complete was the concrete laid, and on the con crete the hardest bricks were set in cement to a thickness of about loft. deep, and over this again up to above high-water mark comes the granite deposited in immense blocks, weighing from 5 tons to 15 tons each, and all firmly keyed together. In some cases the work of sinking these piers was very simple and nacre matter of engineering routine and care; in others, especially the No. 4 pier, the diffi culties seemed for a time almost insurmountable. This No. 4 pier is that which is first on the Middle sex side. The caissons were sunk to a depth of Sift., yet still no good foundations could be found, nor could the water b.; kept from percolating up through the soil ; and it was not till after a great delay and an immense expenditure of money that the clay was reached and the pier begun and completed. The cause of this extraordinary looseness of the soil was afterwards found to have been au old channel which once formed an en trance to one of the chief tributaries of tha Thames —the old River Fleece; or, as it was afterwards called from its use, or abuse, Meet ditch. Each arch of new Blackfriars is built of nine mas sive wrought-iron ribs set at a distance of 91t. Gin. asunder. This is a very much greater distance apart than that at which those of IVestminster are set, but, on the other hand, those at Blackfriars are very much more than twice as strong, being 3ft. 10in. deep at the crown of the arch and 4f t. 7iu. at the springing, or, to speak more plainly, at the point where they rise from the masonry of the piers, The cross braces between these ribs are of propor tionate strength and depth, and are placed at inter vals of 17ft. apart. Above these, again, come what _ . are termed bearers, and bolted over theae again will be powerful buckle plates for the road way. These buckle plates will be thickly coated with asphaite, then a layer of hard stone rubble, and over all the usual granite paving, such as that on Loudon-bridge. There will he no test used to prove the strength of the bridge before it is openc.', simply because the sectional area of the wrought it-in under each part is ten times in CXCeS3 of the strain it would have to bear under the most The Parliamentary Constitution of IS aftpi a fruitful course of beneficent legislation, expires ingGriou'sly In the session now ended. The Times says the representatives of a doomed constituency have displayed the impatient recklessness of outgoing tenants, and the whole machi nery of legislation and governinent has been deranged Ly the exceptional relation of the Cabinet to the House of Commons. It had scarcely been observed, when the Reform Dill of 1667 was passed, that the Ministers had incidentally secured to themselves eighteen months of office ; nor, indeed, could Mr. Disraeli himself have effectually disputed the competence cf the moribund House of Commons, if his opponents had earnestly desired to restore their own leaders to power. The Times alludes to the incessantpersonal disputeswhich have marked the session in the Commons and even in the Lords. After a long review of the principal bills brought before the House, and . the questions discussed, our contemporary congratu lates the House that, notwitlistaxiding miscarriages and untoward complications, it he.s in its latest session abolished church rates, inflicted severe discouragement on the agents of electiral corruption, and noted for final con demnation the most flagrant of political and ecclesiastical abuses. trying exigencies of metropoli'au traffic. Th gradient of the whole briige will be only 1 in 40, The Post thinks if the tactics pursued by Mr. Disraeli during the past session are to constitute a precedent for the conduct of future Ministries, we may expect that the only way which will remain of driving an Administration from office will be, not by a vote of want of con fidence, but by a stoppage of supplies. If such should be the legacy which the old Parliament has left to the new one, it will at all events clear the former of the imputation of baying been entirelyidle during the last days of its existence. It cannot, without absurdity, be con tended that the public service would have suffered if, in the month of June last, Mr. Disraeli and his colleagues had resigned, or that the remaining Reform Bills would not have been carried as successfully through Parliament during the past month by the Liberal party as by the -Cionservatives. The Government were in n. ripp.Mo,l a great relief to traffic, when it is remembered tha the riso is the old bridge was one in 22. The centre arch will have a span of no less than 185 ft., the two immediately a ?joining this on either side a span of 175 ft. each, while the two sm filler arches at the shore ends joining the abutments will have a span each oflssft. The height of the centre arch from the water is to be 25ft. ; of the two next side arches 21ft. Gin., and of the two shore arches minority. They could only carry on the business of the country on sufferance ; and under these circum stances it was not only lawful for Mr. Gladstone, but it was his bounden duty, to endeavour to secure for his followers the responsibility as well as the power of administering the Government. The Premier accepted in theory the decision of the House as a vote of want of con• fidence, but in practice treated it with contempt. The Herald alludes to the finality doctrine, and the strange fact that a change in the representation has occurred before the inventor of finality has retired from public life, and devotes several columns to a history of the debates on the Irish Church. It concludes that Mr. Glad stone's cause is the cause of Popery ; Mr. Gladstone's vic tory is the triumph of the Liberation Society in England, of 171tramontanism and persecution in Ireland; Mr. Gladstone's friends are the Church's enemies, and her friends are ranged among his foes. No Churchman, no Protestant, no man really loyal at heart to his country, his sovereign, and his religion, can doubt at this juncture on which side is the right, or in which camp he ought to take his place. 13ft. 3in. All the arches will be of a flat elliptical shape, and•will give together a waterway more than The Daily News says that the prorogation closes not only the session of 1868, but is the preliminary to the dissolution of the Parliament of 1565. The political struggles of the past three years have been marked by an unusual degree of bitterness and con fusion. Mr. Disraeli has somewhere or othtr said that wars of succession are always the most furious and relent less. The past three years have been occupied with a parliamentary war of succession, in which the place left vacant by Lord Palmerston was the prize of victory. The Daily News thinks that it is time , an appeal should be made from such a House of Commons to the couutry. one-third greater than that of the ruinous obstacle which was for so long an impediment to the navi gatiori of the Thames. The total length of the new bridge will be from end to end 060 ft., or about 60ft. In a leader on the close of the session, the Star says that looked at hastily, and from say the intelligent foreigner point of view, one might feel inclined to think that this has been a very hard-working, energetic, earnest sort of Parliament. If so, most of us are not only very ungrateful, but unintelligible in our ingratitude, for it is perfectly certain that we are all anxious to hurry the departure of this Parliament, to get it out of the wcrld, and be done with it. Reformers rejoice to be done with the Parliament which passed the Reform Bill. Friends of Ireland are impatient to be rid of the House of Commons which took the first step to redress the grievances of Ireland. Men who detest parlia mentary corruption are. not in the least thankful to the House which first carried a decent Bribery Bill. A bundle of seeming - paradoxes might thus be strung together by anybody who took the trouble to col - Tare what this Par. lament has done with the thanks it is receiving and likely to receive for its labours. longer than Westminster. Its breadth will be 80ft. The Herald rebukes the Zinzes for the tone of its leading article on the MaLsion House dinner. The Premier's speech was one of remarkable moderation. He congratu- lated the country, as was natural, upon the maintenance of peace and the promise of reviving prosperity ; he claimed no wonderful triumphs for the Government ; he put its claims to the confidence of the country on those portions of its administration universally approved, on measures which no one can aeny that they have passed. or al:nost exactly double that of the old bridge. The roadway alone is to be 45ft. wide, or about 2ft. wider than the whole of the old bridge from outside to outside, and there are besides these to be two footways of 37ft. width each. Th ese di mens i ons _ _ would almost sufficiently show of themselves what a spacious and noble sructure the new bridge is to be ; but the best idea of the real magnificence of its proportions h to be got on its west side, where the two Surrey arches are completed. The grace of its lines and the whole style of its design can hardly be overpraised. The spandrils of th e arc h es h ave _ _ _ The Standard draws attention to the reference the Premier made in his Mansion-house speech to our rela tions with America. No passage can be quoted from any of Mr. Disraeli's speeches during the war which conflicts, in language or in spirit, with this sentiment, and, unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said of the Liberal leaders. The Americans know that Mr. Dis raeli preserved a position of perfect fairness and neu•' trality from beginning to end of their war ; whereas Mr. Gladstone went about the country, a Minister of the Crown, declaring that Jefferson Davis had made a nation ; and Lord Russell at the same time discredited the Northern cause by publicly asserting that the " North were fighting for empire and the South for independence." These were men who were sup. posed to speak with the authority of the Government and the nation. If they were in power now, the American Government would certainly not forget their old views towards it, and consequently language such as Mr. Disraeli used at the Lord Mayor's dinner would come with a bad grace from their lips. For this very reason, probably, the Premier will be violently assailed for daring to use it. What business had he to show greater discretion and wisdom, at a critical period, than the two men who are supposed to divide the conscientiousness and states manship of the day between them? been filled in with their ornamental bosses, and part of the balustrade has been mounted. This latter is in the Venetian Gothic style, and though in actual fact it is very massive and heavy, in appearance it is very light. It is a perforated balustrade, arranged in panels of plain and twisted columns, which are to be gilt with the twisted cable border which surmounts it. Some small part of the orna mental cornice has also been fixed, with two of the great red granite columns, and the effect of them all as seen from a little beneath the arches is some thing wonderfully fine in bridge architecture.-- Times. We (Manchester Examiner) understand that Mr. W. E. Gladstone will visit Liverpool next week, and at once commence an electioneering tour in South Lanca. shire. EDINBURGH PHILOSOPHICAL INSTITUTION.—On Wednesday evening a meeting of the members of this institution was held for the purpose of electing a successor to the late Lord Brougham as president. Mr. William Smith, vice-president (who occupied the chair), moved that Mr. Thomas Carlyle be elected. Professor Masson. seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. The chairman then stated that it afforded him sincere gratification to announce, on the part of Mr. Carlyle, his acceptance of the office, and to convey the thanks of that gentleman for the honour the meeting had conferredonhim. FIRE IN THE METROPOLIS.—On Thursday night a fire, ending in the destruction of a large quantity of valuable property, broke out on the premises of Messrs. J. M. Brown and Co., builders, 105 and 106, Paul-street, Finsbury, and close to Finsbury-square. The fire made rapid progress, and the reflection was seen for miles round the metropolis. Although aided by the Salvage Corps the firemen found themselves unable to save the timber yard, in which a large. quantity of valuable wood was stored, and their exertions were then turned towards saving the adjacent premises, among which was a large block which had been rebuilt after a very destructive fire about threeyears ago. In this they at length succeeded, althrough the backs of ten houses were rather seriously injured. The damage could not on Thursday night be ascertained correctly, but it was estimated at between £2,000 and £3,000. The offices of Messrs. Brown, adjoin. ing the yard, were saved without much injury, as was also the new block of buildings. TELEGRAPUS.—The Paris Moniteur states thai at the recent telegraphic congress held at Vienna, at which all the European States (except the Papal States) and also India and Persia were represented, the rules of inter. national telegraphic service have, after careful con sideration, received many important improvements and modifications, which have been suggested by the expe. rienca cf three years' working of the present system. Notualistanding the moderate rates fixed by the Con vention of ISGS, the charges in some of the European States have been still further reduced. The particular attention of the conference was directed to the trans. mis'sii,n of inessa;es to and from the East Indies, and the tariff has been considerably lowered. From January 1, 80, the charge for a despatch from London to Calcutta will be reduced from 120 francs to 71 francs, and in the interval before that date various special lines will be estallished in order to render the communication between Europe and India more certain and more rapid. All these improvements are completed by the establishment of an International Telegraphic Bureau intended to servo as a medium between the various administrations, by centralising all statistical and other information which effects the common service. The Swiss Administration has been charged with the organisation of the Inter. national Bureau, which will certainly be one of the most fortunate innovations introduced by the Conference of Vienna, i~~~.

MANCHESTEI, July 30.—A large business in cot ton at Liverpool, though unattended by any ad vance in price, is said to have caused a more cheer ful feeling in theMaachestcr yarn and cloth market. There is no improvement in prices, however, and business is still as difficult to effect as it was yester day. Buyers continue to make offers at prices too low for acceptance by manufacturers, and spinners show an unwillingness to operate ; conse quently only a verylimited business has been effected to-day. BLACKBURN, 29th.--There was an average at tendance on 'Change to-day. Prices were about id. per lb. lower than last week, but no improvement in the condition of trade was manifest. F.everal spin ners and manufacturers in the town are running short time, and irregular production from the partial stoppage of machinery is on the increase. In the neighbouring town of Darwen, where the water supply to mills has been cut off owing to the drought, great inconvenience has been experienced, the water having in some cases to be carted in tubs from a considerable distance. BRADFORD, 30th.--The transactions in wool to day are only scanty. Spinners are generally well supplied with wool, and a►e at present quite in different as to business. Staplers, however, show great confidence as to future prospects, and do not seek to press sales. Prices generally are firmly maintained. There is a steady business doing in mohair and alptca, at firm prices. The good harvest prospects, cheap money, and the pacific nature of our political relations at home and aort.?ad, all tend to create a confident expectation of the speedy re turn of a good and profitable trade. The other branches—worsted yarns and pieces —are equally dull. The amount of new business doing in thest, branches is only meagre. Still most snifflers and manufacturers remain pretty well employed, and unless the individual spinner or manufacturer is getting slack there is no disposition to make any concession in price. ght. present ultural Ttlooll. soh lie oor re- !en un- mission ;akings -a sum Tenses -,tended society ►unties lone by ober of The imple -om the view of furrow al firm, pair of n from rran ge ty, and and led ge- TRCE.

In the event of the furlough being taken partly in India, and partly out of India, the commencement and termina tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules, according as thu furlough begins or ends in or out of XI. For the interval elapsing between departure from his station and the commencement of furlough, and be tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not ordinarily exceeding in each ease thirty :days. During those periods his allowances: will be calculated in the same way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer has, under theSe Rules, lost his lien on his appointmeot, he shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary leave shall count as service and residence. XII.

XIV. All applications for furlough under medical certi ficate, in accordance with these Rules, will be granted without restriction. XV. lf, owing t 3 the exigencies of the service, it may be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica tions not suppJrted by medical certificate will be granted in the following order : The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of furlough remains under Rule 111. shall have the preference. If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last return from such leave or furlough. If two or more applicants are equal in both respects, the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada tion List. XVI.

The term of service qualifying for pension shall be 25 years. pension shall CHAPTER 11. PRIVILEGE LEAVE. XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may take privilege leave for one month without deduction !ruin his salary, retaining a lien on his appointment, whether substantive or officiating. Provided that, in the case of his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs. XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi tions, two oithree months' privilege leave may be taken when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty two or twenty-three months respectively. XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of the first instalment, the period of the second instalment being omitted from the calculation. Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privileg e l eave b eyon d that period shall be admitted. XXI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so absent; and, if he shall so continue ab3ont for more than one week, his office shall become vacant. XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence and service. CHAPTER M. SPECIAL LEAVE. XXIII. Special letl,ve;on --- urgent private affairs, may be granted at the discretion of the local Government for a period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special leave shall ba the same as those prescribed for furlough. Special leave shall not bo reckoned as residence. XXIV. Bole XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying spacial leave. XXV.

It is some months since the progress of these great works was noticed, and since then their ad vance has been so rapid as to leave no doubt that by about the end of the year the new bridge will be fit to be used as a thoroughfare, and before next May it can be finished to the utmost completion of its most ornamental details. The long continuance of fine weather and the unusually light and easy tides have enabled all the labour of pier building and turning the arches to be pushed forward with unusual success. To summarize what has been done, it,may be stated that, beginning from the Surrey shore, all the granite work of the abutments is complete from foundation almost to summit. When we say " almost to summit" it simply means that the character of the ornamental details which are to crown them has not been finally decided on. Experiments are being made with light lath and plaster balustrades, to judge of their effect ; and the one which has apparently been chosen is singu larly striking in its effect. More magnificent look ing buttresses of granite have never been erected for any bridge in England. Viewed from any point their colossal proportions arc in perfect harmony with their bulk and huge solidity, and it is not over praising them to say that, of their kind and for their purpose, it would have been difficult to have de signed anything more suitable. In their vastness and strength they more resemble the great Egyp tian works in stone than anything else we have yet seen in London. The blocks which compose these massive towers are all of dressed granite, and though weighing from 12 to 15 tons each, they are fitted together with the accuracy of cabinet work, and, in fact, are able to bear com parison with the granite work of the Thames embankment itself, and more than this it would be impossible to say in praise. The plan of the cornice which is to s urmount these abutments, though, as we haie said, not yet finally decided upon, is likely 'to be adopted, and is quite in keeping with the great structure it surmounts, being very bold, and, without being heavy, looking very monumental and Massive. It is hoped that eventually these fine ter minals of a fine bridge may be crowned with groups of statuary in bronze, and in the interest of public art it is much to be hoped that the Corporation of London will not grudge the small sum which may be necessary to give this complete effect to the finest work they have lately undertaken. From the south abutment the ironwork of No. 1 and 2 arches is completely fixed. The centreing or sup ports used in making these arches is peculiar, for it was necessary not to stop the water-way, and yet give perfect support to the mass of iron which rested on it. To meet these difficult conditions it has had to be devised in a most ingenious manner, and thus the arches, though almost perfectly com pleted, do not rest upon the stonework, but are kept up by the scaffolding and timber wedges at a little more than half an inch apart from it. These wedges will not be removed till the centre arch, which is the keystone, so to speak, of the whole five, is built and resting on the stonework of its piers. Then the wedges will be knocked from beneath the other two arches on either side, and they will be allowed to settle gradually down into their per manent beds on the stone piers. Where the iron work is to come near the stone it will touch a layer of lead, so that the slightest possible inequality in the work will be able to accommodate itself to its pressure, and the girders all bear their share in the work of maintenance alike. In this instance, how ever, it is almost a needless precaution, for the arches were built together before they were sent down the river, and with a little tooling here and there were made to fit with almost mathematical pre cision. Of course as two arches have been finished the No. 2 pier from the south side bas been completed also. For the centre arch the scaffold is being prepared to bear the ironwork. At No. 3 pier the stooewo:k is getting above the water line, at No. 4 arch the centre :caffoidieg is in progress: The long difficulties at No. 4 pier have at last been overcome, and it is above low-water mark; and at No. 5-arch the ironwork is partly laid. These steps in the pro gress towards completion are easily told, but they mean, in effect, a vast amount of work, which has nomill AL
