SECRETARY'S OFFICE, Royal Hospital, C'telsea, On reference to the statement of inclinations, it ap pears that 40 mles of the Holyhead line are levd, and only seven miles of the remaining 45 rising 16 feet per mile ; the others varying from three to 12 feet per mile. On the Bala line there are 10 miles rising 1 in 150, or 35 feet 23- inches per mile, and two miles 25 feet per mile. The other parts vary from Ito 14 feet per mile. From the very high country that the line passts over, there would be an additioual hiss of power, amounting to more than 20 miles of actuai distance. therefore appears to me that there can be no ileub to which line ought to be adopted fur the benefit of tie public.

NORWICH AGAINST ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS TO A CROWN. SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS. The most powerful in the world, with which a man of ten stone weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty three feet high in a minute, but with no other PUtriP yet tried in a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor dinai7, seldom below 70, and more frequently above 100 per ant., taking the average of the results of every altitude from 1 foot to 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible, being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin ciple for Pumps, by which their friction and leakage was abo lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. Far a long time after this immortal invention was publicly introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre dicting that it would prove limited and frail, who are now anivellii.g about that their trade would be ruined, because Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are se economical and invariable in their action, that they corn- Inertly perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with. cut the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re markably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car penters, &e., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain Pumps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon deranges and seriously damages tho best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 ]ears ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from a well in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's camels. Since then appeared the four principles, namely, two limited, mad tyre unlimited principles—two .1 them sliding principles ; on• a spiral principle, and one a rolling principle. I , t. The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by friction and leakage ♦ery defective and dreadfully uncertain, and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a limited sliding principle. 2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral principle. Bd. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder Pumps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed mast they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the Ilast 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle. Otis, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stock: of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor leg than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis coverable defect or imperfection it possesses every essential property fir the purpose intended in the highest degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. Dr. Birkbeek. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect H y d rau ie Machine. The ViLse-President, Professor John Millington, Esq., P.L. S., publii` l3 ed a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash, false, feul, and I,Ny assertion, that the new principle is limited, and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages is seme cases, it cannot be used for great elevations Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as bel ow on. hundred feet. Millington might surely have known hit flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of dm ability. The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly tone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost indestructable. CASES SUFFICIENT. Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost aboTol,o , have not cost 2/ per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them, from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the publie roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth. A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse ewer), the connectors lasted five y ears, lift ens hundred feet. N.B. It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up the water in the New Pump that wears out. Mark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same work. A Single-aeting Fountain Pun"' at Messrs. Horton's, dyers, Norwi c h (manual power). Hero the connectors of the New Pump last four times as long as did the pay king of the old Pomp it superseded. A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers, Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three months, new the connectors of their new pump last above six teen months. This noble machine has not cost bs. a year for connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eiv,ht im perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE. _ The Se ven R oa d F oun t a i n P um ps, fi xe d e arly in 1838, be tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor varied in effect. The Ton Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty. EFFECT. At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam Power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an average. nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30, 4, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and sea, certify similar results. But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to Perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pump in pre ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense, Pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with ma friction, Therefore, let us at *nee come to deeds to try the gues lion. and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough." CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST TIME. Take four Pumps of the 01(1 Plan, and four Pumps of the New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a titan ef ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three } barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imp er i a l allons of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument. The number of seeonds required with ono pump less than with the ether, will be its gain in time and labour. The competitors should find the pumps and the public the pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew as mach about raising water as sucking monkeys. Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo sition (Nenmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering of 1,000 imperial gallons of water per minute.

CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta.,--Among the various disorders of the mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and produces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other ; in short Scurvy in the Gums affects individuals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, will be the primary cause of Tooth- Ache and decay. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account; or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ing a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the smell arc alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closet-Id proportion to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a Moment cat c h th e o d our o f th e i r own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. 'To professional men, shopkeepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much interco urse w i t h e refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases eut of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the marriage state most grievously interrupted by the same cause. The inconveniences attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment ; but to those who have not expe rienced the comfort of artificial teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is de sirous of showing some of the difficulties score or less endured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is ex posed to the most distressing indigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it ne longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth are gone, a great va cuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in. regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it nQt obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject—who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and culpa ble negligence renders that fact too apparent to their friends and associates. Mastication is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. It is a mistaken notion, that the mere chopping of the food is all that is required, and that " patent masticators," or any other contrivance, can supply the place of teeth. By the motion of the maxillary bon. s in the communication of food, the salivary glands are compressed, and the saliva, be ing poured forth from the ducts, mingles with the food, which is turned about by the tongue until every portion of it is duly incorporated with the saliva. Then, ant not till then, is it properly prepared for deglutition. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, nervous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation of the whole system ; which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know, that Mon sieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Europe, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may he used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. And in all cases a single application is quite sufficient to enable him to supply the loss of teeth (on his new system), without any further trouble to the Patient, or the inconvenience of a second visit. And he is also happy to state, that after many years of inde fatigable assiduity and close application to the mechanical branch of the profession, he has succeeded in discovering a method of supplying Teeth to persons residing at any distance by means of his newly invented preparation, which enables the Patients to take an impression of their own mouth with the greatest ease, and without causing the slightest pain or inconvenience; so that after the model of the mouth has been received by Mons. Le Dray, he can manufacture from one to a complete set of Teeth, and return deem to the parties so con structed, that they may be plaeed in the mouth by the wearer without the knowledge of a second person, being arranged on a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossible to dis tinguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones ; answering most satisfactorily all the purposes of the original Teeth in mas tication and articulation, imparting to the countenance a younger and improved appearance, protecting the adjoining Teeth, and remaining perfectly secure in their places ; they may also be taken out and replaced with the greatest facility. It is respectfully intimated to Country Patients, however dis tant, they must please to state the number of Teeth required, whether back or front, and at the same time enclose a remit tance of a Sovereign, when the preparation for taking the model or measure of the mouth will be immediately forwarded to their addresses, together with a List of Prices. Letters must be post-paid—addressed as foll,ms—(Money Letter) Mons. Le Dray, Surgeon Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford street, London. The next point of view in which we are to consider the im portance of the Teeth, is that of their connexion with the grand prerogative of man—the gift of speech. The teeth are abso lutely essential to a perfect articulation, and are mainly con cerned in the modulation of the voice. Their preservation is, therefore, essential to all persons who do not seclude themselves from society ; for what can be more disagreeable than the mumbling which renders conversation a task, and robs it of half its charms; unless, indeed, it be the sputtering in one's face, which sometimes accompanies the exclusive fervour of a sotto yore communication. To all public speakers, whether in the senate, in the pulpit, at the bar, or on the stage, teeth, real or artificial; arc a sine qua nun. Without them the graces of eloquence are lost, and the powers of oratory very much diminished. No person to whom a correct articulation, and a clear im pressive delivery, are of consequence, can be ignorant of the effect which the loss of teeth has upon the powers of voice, awl none I conceive will delay to call in the aid of art ; but it would he well if all such persons were impressed with this fact bebrehand, as one of the strongest inducement to bestow upon their teeth the necessary care. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stand pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of com plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair, can render that lady beautiful, who, when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular er discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set. of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand, the effects of decay, the accumu lation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and this taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, are an ornament, equally attractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, sh•iuld endea vour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deft. ciencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becom_ iug a repulsive one. Aloes. Le Dray respectfully acquaints the nobility, gentry, clergy, and inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he con tinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mineral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and throughout the Continent, which sub stance he is the sole inventor and possessor of. This operation is performed without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds hardens into enamel, preventing and cur im; the Tooth Ache, forming a whole Tooth out of a stump, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary. He also fastens Loose Teeth, particularly of aged pers-ns, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, disease of the gums, or any other cause.

And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES: immediately they are placedli efore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLO MONS disclaim all connection with per. FOPS of the same name, and the Sale of Amber Spectacles: the per. Melons use of Amber Spectacles bein g now well known to the public, and the Vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Pa tent Spectacles '• those which he terms " ratent Spectacles " are no other than these of Amber, the history and destructive use of that material for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satisfac. torily explained by the undermentioned scientific authori, s:— From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D. F.R.S., &c. &c. " Amber is an induratect vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tretnours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electries ; Amber grows with lime, and is apt to take tire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above br. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hern on Chemistry, The destruct►ve effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London.

The carriage road in front of Whitehall was paved in January last on this principle, and now remains perfect, free from dust and mud, and not the least slippery. Pavement, on the same principle, has also been laid down under the portico and marble arch at Buckingham Palace, and in Oxford-street, and negotiations are pending for other works to a great ext en t.

Gentlemen—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving the Regent's-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by whose order the wood pavement on the above principle has been laid down at Whitehall, and in reply to your note requesting my opinion of its merits, I have to inform you that the work has not only given me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has excited the admiration of the public generally. I have no doubt but this mode of pavement will ba universally adopted, as it is not only free from noise and mud, but th e wear an d tear of public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The wood pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in as good condition as the first day it was laid down. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

REPORT of Mr. George Stephenson, Civil Engineer, to the Directors of the Chester and Crewe Railway. Gentlemen—l have now more minutely examined the route from Chester to Holyhead, which I recommended to you in my Report of the 19th December, 1838. The levels have been taken and sections prepared of the whole line ; I have also had levels taken from Port dynllaen to Chill, along the route recommended for serious consideration in the Report of the Irish Rail way Commissioners, and shall now lay before you a statement of the merits and demerits of each line in de tail, which will show how far my former observations are borne out by the actual result of the levels. I shall now describe the route of the Holyhead Rail way from Chester. The line should commence at the junction of the Chester and Crew Railway with the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, and passing under Northgate•street, cross the canal at the south side of the dock and the river Dee : it then runs nearly parallel to the river, through Flint, Bagillt, Greenfield, by Moystyn Quay, and pursues its course a little inland, round the flat land, avoid ing Talacre Park to Rhyl, where it crosses the river Foryd ; from thence across the marshes, near Abergele, and nearly parallel to the turnpike-road, leaving the Great and Little Orme's Heads a little to the right, and taking the low grounds by Nant to Con way ; it then crosses the river Conway about 400 yards to the south of the bridge, and underneath the castle wall on the west side of the town ; then runs parallel to the turnpike-road, which it crosses near the toll-bar, and continues its course over Conway Marsh until it reaches again the coast near Penman Bach. At this place a tunnel will be required, passing through the, projecting rock, of 500 yards in length ; the line then takes the margin of the coast to Penman Mawr, con tinuing along the beach at this place for a short dis tance ; it then leaves the coast and passes below Aber in a very direct line to the corner of Mr. Pennant's park wall, and under the turnpike-road ; thence in a direct line to Bangor, 490 yards of tunnel will be re quired before entering the town. Castle-street is next crossed over in open ground, and a short valley brings the line to the ridge dividing the Menai Straits from Bangor ; it then bends round to the west, and con tinues nearly in a direct line to the bridge. The route through Anglesea commences at the north side of the bridge, and continues on the east and north side of the turnpike road for about a mile, when it crosses under the road and continues its course over the marshy ground between the Monument and the Mar quis of Anglesea's Lodge to Plas Llangaffo, running down to Maldraeth ; it then passes to the east of Aber ffraw, above Llyn Goram to Llanfaelog ; the line then crosses the Stanley Sands, and runs parallel to the turn pike-road into Holyhead. I propose the station to be near the Royal Hotel, at the entrance to the town, but the line to be continued forward to the end of the pier if necessary, this part being worked by horses. The route I have above described varies little, in deed, from that given in my former Report, the only variations being that the line is taken nearer the sea at Rhyl, and in a more direct course through Bangor. I shall now describe the nature of the works on the section throughout the whole of the line. The line will leave the Chester and Crewe and the Chester and Birkenhead Railways on the level, and con tinue towards Nortbgate-street, through a cutting half a mile long in the sand -stone rock, averaging 20 feet deep, then tunneling under the street for 220 yards, it crosses 12 feet abo ve t h e Ell esmere and Chester canal ; to this point the line is falling 1 in 272, or 19 feet per mile, for a distance of 68 chains ; it then becomes level for 40 chains, crossing under the city walls, over the low ground, the two Crane -streets, and Paradise row, about 30 feet high, and by the south side of the ship-yard to the Dee ;it then crosses the river about 30 feet above high water, and passes through the high ground opposite Brewer's Hall, in about 30 feet cut ting for a short distance, and on to the low ground neatly opposite the Upper Ferry ; this distance of about two miles falls at the rate of lin 422. The next 8i miles are level, passing nearly on the surface of the ground, with very light work, by King's Ferry and Connah's Quay to near Flint. In passing through Flint, the line rises for half a mile 1 in 440, or 12 feet per mile, and for half a mile falls 1 in 440, or 12 feet per mile, so as to get over some roads. The next 26 miles are level. In passing Mostyn Quay, a short cutting into the rock to get under the tramway will be required, and also a diversion of the turnpike road ; fro m thi s t o Ab erge l e t h e li ne passes nearly on the surf ace o f th e groun d , an d at Foryd the river wtovill milesb e beyondpassedoAvebeebrygeie a uwo c o u d t e tng wooden bridge. be required e. rr for a short distance, about 40 feet deep. The railway at Llandulas will be passed under, and the line then passes along the beach, and by a tunnel. through Penman Head for 330 yards, where it takes the beach again for a mile, and begins to rise fur miles at the rate of 1 in 440, or 12 feet per mile ; the work on this portion very light. The next 1; miles fall at the rate of 1 in 440, or 12 feet per mile, with some cutting the heaviest part 30 feet for a short dis tance. The next 11 miles arc level, and run on the surface of the ground ; the line then runs 2} miles, at the rate of 1 in 528, or 10 feet per mile, passing over the Conway 14 feet above high water, the same height as the present bridge : this crossing is much more fa vourable than I had anticipated. The line then ap proaches Conway, passes under Rosemary-lane and Upper Gate-street, and through the gardens between the walls, the extreme depth of cutting being 37 feet. The ground here presents much fewer difficulties tban I had expected. From the crossing of the turnpike road the line falls for two miles at the rate of 1 in 528, or 10 feet per mile, through a tunnel of 500 yards in length at Penman Bach ; the next 2i miles to Penman Mawr are level. Some sea-walling will be required here, varying from 15 to 20 feet in height. Past Penman Mawr to the river Llanfair, a distance of 1 : i miles, the line rises at the rateof one in 440, or 12 feet per mite. In passing Penman Mawr, sea walling will be required for nearly three.quar ters of a mile, varying from 15 to 20 feet in height. The line then descends for 1 miles at the rate of 1 in 440, or 12 feet per mile, and 54 chains of level brings the line near to Aber. The next 41 miles rise at the rate of 1 in 330, or 16 feet per mile, the greatest part of which will be easy of execution ; passing 18 feet under the turnpike-road at Penryhn Park corner, thence over the river Ogwen, 37 feet high, and into cuttings five-eights of a mile long, and 45 feet deep. In this cutting the Holyhead road and the railway from the slate quarries are passed under ; this is one of the parts in my former Report that I considered the most expensive, as I then imagined the formation to be hard slate, whereas I now believe the whole to be gravel of the very best description for ballasting- the road, great part of which will be required for that purpose. The line then passes over the river Cagen, with an embankment about :350 yards long, and the extreme height 75 feet ; we then come to the ridge which lies to the south of Bangor, where a tunnel will be required 490 yards long. We then cross 35 feet over Castle street, in Bangor, and embank over the valley for about a quarter of a mile, the greatest depth being, 70 feet. The ridge between Bangor and the Menai Straits is ❑eat approached : the work here is of a much easier description than I had anticipated, open cutting only being necessary ; whereas I stated in my former Report that a tunnel 400 yards long would be required. The inclination of the line from the river Cagen to the Menai, a distance of two miles 55 chains, is rising at the rate of lin 1,760, or three feet per mile. A short distance before reaching the bridge, the turnpike•road will be passed under. I shall now describe the nature of the works through Anglesey. Beginning at the toll-har, a short cutting will be required approaching the ravine, which is about a quarter of a mile in width, and the average height of embanking across which will be about 40 feet. The material necessary for its formation is obtained from the cutting on the north side of the turnpike-road, • The turnpike r oa d w ill now b e p a ssed under, at one mile from the toll-bar, and to this point the line will be level. The neat oi miles rise at the rate of lin 440, or 12 feet per mile, very little work being required in the formation of the railway. The nest 53 : miles de scend into the centre of the marsh, at the rate of 1 in 403, or 13 feet per mile ; miles of the first part of this distance is very easy of execution. The next miles will he in cuttings, varying from 15 to 40 feet, which is the deepest at the road at Plas Llangaffo ; the remaining 11 mile will be embankment, varying from 30 to 45 feet in height. The next 23- miles rise 1 in 330, or 16 feet per mile ; one mile of this length will • he embankment, varying from 30 to 45 feet in height. The low ground over which the above embankment is carried is the great marsh called Maldraeth. It may be considered by some that it would not be sound enough to carry an embankment of the height described. I am quite confident, however, that there are no grounds for apprehending any danger from this cause. On the north side of the marsh the heaviest cutting in A ng l ese y is approached it is a mile in length, 78 fret deep at the highest point, and areraging about 40 feet ; it is of very hard material, but being in an open cu tting it will be much more easily managed than if it had to he tunnelled through ; the whole of the material will be required for making the embankment across the marsh. After leaving the above cutting, the next miles rise one foot, and in this distance an embankment will be required for three-eighths of a mile, averaging about 2.5 feet in height. The next 3i miles fall at the rate of 1 in 377, Or 14 feet per mile, passing Llanfaelog. For the whole of this length, about an equal quantity of cutting and embankment occurs of a moderate description. The line then runs to Holyhead, with inclinations varying from five to eight feet per mile, a distance of seven miles ; the cou n t r y s li g h t l y undulating for this distance, and the works of an easy description. The termination of the line will be on the level of the ground near the Royal Hotel, and the line to the packet station will be upon the surface of the ground. I'OIiTDYNLLAEN RAILWAY. Before commencing a description of the route from Portdynllaen near to Chirk, I may inform you that the additional information I have now before me, since my former Report, enables me to go much more into detail than I could do at that time. My former Report stated that the country from g Portdynllaen to near Tremadoc was tolerably favourable for a railway, and might be carried into execution at the average cost of railways. I now find, by the levels that have been taken, that this part of the line cannot be executed at anything like their average cost ; in fact, this part o f th e li ne i s fully equal in magnitude to the worst part of the Holyhead Railway. The line commences at the Cliffs. near Portdynllaen, at 60 feet above high water, and passes by Pwllheli, Tremadoc, Harlech, Barmouth, Dolgelly, and Drews y-nant to Bala, passing on the south side of the lake, along the valley of the Dee, by Corwen, Llangollen, and Pontcysylte to Chi r k t h ence to the Gracd Junc tion Railway near Wolverhampton. I shalt row describe the nature of the works. The liv e commencing at Portdynllaen is 60 feet above high water. An inclined plane will be required at this place, so as te get the goods from the low to the high level, which must be worked by a stationary engine. The first three miles rise at the rate of 1 in 720, or seven feet four inches per mile, with tolerably easy work ; at this point, where the line begins to fall for five miles at the rate of I in 367, or 11 feet five inches per mile, a heavy ridge has to be encountered, through which there must be a tunnel upwards of a mile in length. Upon the section given is the Irish Report two ridges are shown, one of 105 feet and the other 96 feet deep, with a brook between; but this section can only be ob tained by very sharp and inadmissible curves, and the tunnel above stated must be resorted to. In adproaching Pwllheli an embankment commences, varying from 16 to 34 feet deep, and extends nearly five miles, crossing the harbour of Pwllheli at 83- miles from Portdynllaen, and interfering very injuriously with the present convenience of the harbour. Six miles from Pwllholi are level, with moderate work ; tht line then rises 5 1-7 miles, at the rate of one in 1,043, or five feet per mile. In passing Cricceith two ridges have to be encountered, one 60 feet, and the other 9 feet deep. _ From this point to Tremadoc the line is particularly heavy, the cuttings being of considerable depth and length, and the embankments in crossing two lakes of great height. For nearly two miles the cuttings are of the following depths :-68 feet, 52 feet, and 57 feet ; the embankments over the lakes arc 45 and 53 feet re spectively, and about mile long. The whole of the cuttings here alluded to are of a very hard material. The line falls past Tremadoc for three miles, at the rate of lin 804, or 6 feet 6 inches per mile. The crossing of Traeth-mawr, near Portmadoc, is the next work, and the height of embankment from 20 to 28 feet. The next 1-7th mire fall at the rate of one in 3,161, or one foot eight inches per mile. On crossing the Traeth-.mawr a ridge presents itself, 200 feet high, which separates it from Traeth-bath ; and, although it is mentioned in the section that this extraordinary cut ' ting may be avoided by carrying the line round, on a curve, yet, that curve is such that must preclude its being adopted ; a tunnel half a mile long is therefore in dispensible. The Traeth-bath has now to be crossed, and is about the same length as the Traeth.mawr, the height being from 18 to 20 feet. Leaving this, a cutting 55 feet in depth, and about half-a mile length, brings the line past Lanfihangel Church to the flat marsh land below Harlech ; 81 miles past Harlech are level. The flat ground extends from the Llanfihangel cutting for about three mils, which is very favourable. In ap proaching the estuary below Llanbedr the line passes under a cliff, the extreme height of which is 161 feet. Some portion of this may be avoided by curving, but about 200 yards of deep cutting or tunnelling must be adopted. From the estuary favourable ground presents itself by Llanduwe to Llanber, and to near Barmouth, where a tunnel is necessary in passing the town. This has been reduced to had a mile upon the section, by cutting 80 feet, and 70 feet at each end ; it is through very hard material, of the clay-slate formation. A sharp curve is necessary at both ends of the tunnel, ex tremely objectionable for locomotive engines, and the cutting in approaching and leaving it will vary from 100 to GO feet. 'rho line is now rising at the rate of 1 in 462, or 11 feet 5 inches per mile, for 14 miles. At the mouth of the tunnel a valley is crossed by embank ment 63 feet high, and the line takes the sloping ground on the north-west side of the Barmouth river. As far as Llanelltyd the section exhibits a favourable surface line ; but along this country a longitudinal sec tion only does not at all give a correct description of the work necessary in the formation of the line. The ground slopes very steeply, and although the section shows only 16 or 18 feet embankment, yet in many places It would be three times that height ; and even to obtain this section, the line must be very tortuous in its course, to suit the irregularities of the ground. At the crossing of the Maw Valley, near Dolgelly, is the greatest work on the line, as regards embanking or bridges. It is 170 feet in extreme height, and from bank to bank measures three-fourths of a mile. From this point the inclined plane commences, rising 1 in 150, or 35 feet 2 inches per mile, For 10 1-6th miles. The cutting through the ridge at Hengwrt is 75 feet in extreme depth, three quarters of a mile in length ; beyond which, by adopt ing a tortuous course, a fair section o f the line has been shown, but certainly no such section can be procured with curves suitable for locomotive engines. The works approaching the tunnel are of immense magnitude. It appears from the levels I 'save had taken, that the summit cannot be passed at a less length of tunnel than three miles. The nature of the material at this place sets at de fiance the probability of making a tunnel, and there can be no way of getting over this summit but by station ary engines and inclined planes. The inclination through the tunnel is shown to be at the rate of 1 in 211, or 25 feet per mile, for two miles. The line then descends from the summit of the country, on favourable gradients, past 13a1a and Corwen, with work of ordinary description. In approaching Llangollen, in the course of three miles three tunnels are necessary, of the length of half a mile, 27 chains, and a quarter of a mile, through ma terialof a very hard nature. It is stated - that the inclinations need not exceed 12 feet per mile ; but I find that 5i miles must fall at the rate of 26 feet per mile. If the line we re t o f o ll ow the course of the river, it might be attained at about 10 feet per mile, but any one acquainted with the circuitous route of the river by Llangollen, must be aware that no line can be made to follow its course. I have, there fore, taken the line direct, as represented on the section. From Llangollen to Chirk Aqueduct, the works are extremely heavy ; and at the crossing of the Dee of Pontycysylte, very expensive works must be resorted to, the height being from GO to 80 feet for about half a mile in length. On the line from Chirk to Wolverhampton, a distance of 54 miles, no section is given in the Commissioners, Report, nor have I considered it necessary to have it levelled, as they have not shown any route detinitivelv fixed. I know, however, enough of the country, to state, that it is very rough, and that no railway could be made in that direction without an enormous cost. Haviqg now given a detailed account of the works to be executed upon the line from Chester to Holyhead, and also from Portdynllaen to Chill, I shall endeavour to draw a comparison of the principal features of the two routes. From Chester to Holyhead the line passes through a generally flat country, free from any seriou s difficulties of execution, and with curves and inclination s of a most favourable nature ; while I must again repeat, that further examination and eQnsideration nave only proved to me that the works upon the Inn! from Portdvnllaen by Bala are of a nature that ought never to be attempted, and are totally impracticable, especially at the summit. In point of distance of railway to be made, the Holy head line has the advantage of having 61 miles less of railway to make. MILES.

Notwithstanding the showery state of the early part of the day, by three o'clock a great assemblage of the nobility and gentry were pre. sent, and promenading was continued till nearly seven o'clock upon the beautiful turf of the gardens. The show of flowers was superb ; the azaleas and gera niums were perhaps superior to the show on any former season, and obtained the uni‘ersal approbation of 4110 spectators. The exotic orchidaceai were also particu larly fineu,as evinced and the the a various re,tskillconservatory of t flowers and forced growers. The tents, furnished by Mr. B. Edgington, of Duke street, Borough, were of such enokmeus dimensions, and so well constructed, that everybody was screened from the sun, and had the rain descended as it did in the morning, ample shelter would have been afforded from the rain ; fortunately there was no necessity le resort to their protection on that account. The very beautiful flower, the Wisteria Sinetisis, with which tire wait of the garden is in one place covered for nedi 100 yards, is in full flower, and presents a gorgeolin display of deep purple.

WILLIS, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " PENCILLING; nr THE WAY." Dr. Channing's appearance out of the pulpit is not prepossessing. He is below the middle stature, and of the slightest possible frame. Constant illness, of late years, has reduced even his natural proportions ; and when seen in the street, wrapped With a shrinking closeness from the air, and pursuing his way with the irresolute step and the subdued countenance of an in valid, it is difficult to reconcile his appearance with the prodigious energy of his writings. In the pulpit he is another man. The cloud of anxiety passes from his face as he rises. The contracted expression ordinarily visible about his mouth gives place to a dilated and se rene calmness. His fine eye expands and brightens, and the whole character of his face is one of the mod pure and elevated humanity. A hearer wbo saw him for the first time there, if indeed he remembered any thing but the eloquent beauty of his thoughts, would go away impressed with his noble dignity, and the air of calm power in his look and action. His face itself is. diminutive, smaller even than a child's, but there is great breadth at the temples, and his forehead, over which he wears his hair long and carelessly, is of the finest form and amplitude. On the whole, we think the common impression, after seeing Dr. Channing, would be that of a mind, a mere intellect, wrapped in the slightest dra pery of flesh that will cnnfine it—a coil of mortality so loosely worn, that, whenever its errand was complete, the inhabiting spirit would release itself by the simplest heavenward volition. Dr. Channing's delivery is not at all oratorical os passionate. It may have been so in the earlier days of his ministry, for he is naturally of a kindling and en thusiastic temperament, and it is a source of natural wonder to those who hear him after having read hh fervent composition, that he should yield so little to tiro sway of feeling. His manner is earnest and absorbed, but, unless excited by a favourite or opposed opiniee„ perfectly unimpassioned. You may not doubt few a moment that the whole truth of his soul is breathire on his lips, but he seems to you under the influence of an inward power which is too holy for human excite ment, and which chastens and subdues his whole spirit like a mighty spell. We know of nothing more strange ly and deeply impressive than this almost unnatural suppression of enthusiasm. He is gifted by nacre with a voice of singular depth and sweetness, which de bility seems only to have made more low and musical, and with the calm serenity, na3, majesty of his man ner, and the high order cf his thoughts, it has some times seemed to us a very spirit tone—the voice of a being without passions, breathed into utterance by the pure inTiratioo of truth. The viglrous beauty of his style is too well known and admired to be more than alluded to, but a mere reader cam have little idea of its effect when heard from the writer's own lips. His emphasis and c..dence are very peculiar. His tares seem the most simple effort of articulation, but he has a way of lingering on what we can only express by calling it the crisis. of a sentence, and of giving a depth and richness to the forcible word, which yield an exquisite satisfaction to the ear, not easily described. You sit and listen, as it might be, to music. The sense is, for the time, qp i ptive ; and. if the melody in winch it comes clothed, ars not wholly disguise the sentiment, it at least gives it a winning persuasion most dangerous to the charmed judgment of the hearer. OLYMPIC THEATRE. This establishment closed on Saturday night after a short season. The performances were the The Aven ger, The House of Ladies, Blinboozling, and the Two Greens. After the third piece Mr. Baker advanced and delivered the following farewell address " The House qf Ladies is closed, and it is with min gled feelings of pain and pleasure that I Wow presume to address you. The pain arises from the cernvicrioa that to-night our exertions for your amusement terrhi nate—the pleasure springs from the anticipation of again meeting you on September 29th. During tilt recess the house will he completely re-embellished—nom pieces will be procured, and the services of old favourites re tained, and of new candidates for metropolitan fame secured. During our short season of threw months, we have produced twenty-nine new piece§, all of which have received the stamp of your approval. In the midst of unparalleled theatrical depression, I am proud to say, by the high and liberal patronage bestowed upon us, we have flourished, and this recollection will. stltau late us to, if possible, greater exertions to deserve your favour. In the name of the lessee, the performers, r.nd myself, I now most respectfully bid you farewell.' LANCASTER.—We have just seen a plan of the great scheme proposed by Mr. Hague, the engineer of the pro posed embankme n t over Al orecombe Bay, to which is *flitted the project of forming Lancaster into the fizest port osi die Nestern coast of England. .N.! r. Hague proposes to carry LA* Lune by a canal ItiO feet wide, to be cut through the level Leaf from Oxeliffe to Poulton, where the waters, joipip,,7 the Kent in the bay, would sweep out a deep navigable chatra capable of bringing up the large'st vessels. lls arso proposes to forma floating dank at Lancaster, to contain twelve having at a ll t i mes twenty f eet of water, w i t h a s h ip lockt t o m a ships in and out. Another great feature in the plan is the Iv accretion of land. In addition to 52,000 enclosed by the ecta bankment, Mr. Vague expects 20,405 acres to accumulate on the outside of the embankment, and 26,551 along the shwas from Poulton to the W yre.
