The aggregate amount of the ordinary grants for army, militia, and commissariat services in 1855 56 was 18,780,532/. ; the appropriation in aid, viz., the contri bution from the revenues of the Australian colonies in aid of military expenditure, was 37,9481. ls. 11d., snaking together 18,828,4801 Bs. 11d. ; and the total ex penditure as shown by the account was 20,350,5801. lls. 11d. It appears that while there was a saving of 961,797/. 17s. 4d. upon thirteen votes of the year, on eight other votes the expenditure exceeded the amount voted by 2,484,8911. Os. 4d., and deducting 882,4981. 19 ad., the saving on embodied militia, which was not applied to cover the deficiency of other votes, the nett deficiency of the year was 2,405,599/. 2s. 6d.

The second account shows that the amount voted for the ordnance services was 9,990,1651., whereas the ex penditure amounted to 11,993.7841. 3s. 4d., leaving a deficiency of 2,103,6191. 3s. 4). The sum of 2,019,0371. 124. ld., was expended in eight votes beyond the amounts voted by parliament ; but upon two votes, viz., scientific branch and non-effective services, there was a saving of 15,4181. Bs. 9d., which reduced the actual de ficiency to 2,003,5191. 3s. 4d. This deficiency was made up by a transfer of a like sum from the 3,000,0011. voted for the additional expenses of the Russian war. In reference to the above two accounts a correspon dence is appended to the first, between the Treasury, the Audit-office, and the War Department, as to the delay which had occurred in furnishing them. The War-office excused the delay on the ground that the Russian war had rendered it more than usually laborious And difficult to make up the returns from its various departments, and while accepting this excuse the Lords of the Trea sury express a hope that " Lord Panmure will take the necessary steps for expediting the completion of the ac counts so that they may be presented in future years on the Ist of March, or earlier, if passible." 3 . i ' S ECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY S'list published, price is., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, 4 4P -PRESERVATION. —A Medical Treatise D na on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, lyor a ° 2, 1 the cure of Nervows and Physical Debility, resulting to " el ous habits acquired during the critical passage from youth rage'aphood, with practical observations on the Physiology of Mar- Itiu.l l Its social, moral, and physical relations.

At a very early hour in the morning there wore strong indications that the inhabitnnts of the three towns intended to make the occasion a grand and general holiday. From about 10 o'clock in the morning till three in the afternoon, six steamers were constantly running from Devonport to Salt ash, without the least intermission, conveying to Saltash during the day nearly 1.0,000 persons. The railway also brought a large number of persons to the neighbourhood. At noon the greater number of the shops closed, and shortly after thousands were seen wending their way to the point of at traction, where ultimately some persons estimated t •at nearly 100,000 persons mast have assemb'ed. The Devonport Dockyard was closed at 12 o'clock, and most of the officers and artisans were among the spectators. The townspeople of Saltash also, not to be be hind hand in expressing their joy and mirth on so festive an occasion for their interests, suspended flags in various parts of the town, and the merry peal of the church bells enlivened the scene throughout the afternoon. A large, number of yachts, vessels, and boats, many of them gaily de corated with flags, were also on 'the river, and every available station on the surrounding hills was occupied by spectators. Several tents and marquees were erected to afford accommodation to them. The weather was most genial, and the scene altogether presented such a lively coup d'ceil as is seldom witnessed in that vicinity. Along the Devon side of the river were ranged a row of itinerant refreshment stalls and confectioners' stands ; a few shows were also present. The pub lic-houses, beershisps, and *tea-houses In the neigh bourhood were also densely crowded. At 1.5 in the afternoon, the whole of the prepa rations having been completed, the pontoons glided into the river. Just under the tube, in the centre of the roadway, a platform was erected, which was occupied by Mr. Brunel and part of the staff of his engineering department. There were about. 500 men on board the vesesls and ashore employed in the operation, and kept busily at work, especially those on board No. 4, station vessel, whose assist ance was required for a longer period than the others. The arrangements were so admirably con ducted that not the least irregularity occurred, or the least noise or confusion prevailed. As the mr s sive structure moved round towards its destined po sition everybody gazed on it with admiration; and the mechanical skill and ingenuity of the engineer, Mr. Brunel, was the sole subject of conversation. About half-past 3 o'clock the western end 'of the tube was placed in its position, amidst the cheers of the thou sands of spectators that were present. -The band of the Royal Marines were placed on board a steamer, near the tube,' and throughout,the afternoon played a variety of musical pieces, which greatly enlivened the proceedings. The tube and roadway chains, strutts, &c., present a most unique appearance ; at once a memorial of engineering ingenuity, and the t iumph of mechanical science, as applied to practi cal purposes of great difficulty. It is believed that several months will be occupied in raising this sec tion vertically to its permanent place on a line with the railway. From its present position it will be gradually raised, as circumstances will allow, by means of hydraulic presses. About 5 o'clock the band played the National Anthem, and the spectators began to disperse, the et 'eaters being again crowded on their return passage. A large number of private and public carriages and equestrians were at the pas4a,o;e during the after noon, but we are happy to say that notwithstanding the numbers present and the magnitude of the un dertaking, not the slightest accident occurred dur ing the day.

About 400 of the 72d Regiment will embark at Portsmouth on Friday next for Ind;a in the Scotia transport, whi?,h was surveyed yesterday by the Assistant-Quartermaster-General of the south-west district. Orders have been received at the Provisional Bat talion, Chatham, directing Colonel H.

The transport Waterloo, Captain Young, sailed from Queenstown on Saturday fur Calcutta with the four companies of the 56th Regiment which she had embarked on Thursday. The troopship Athlete arrived in Cork harbour on Sunday from London for the purpose of em barking six officers and 185 rank and file of the battery of Royal Artillery fur Calcutta. The 3d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards arrived at Portsmouth yesterday to garrison that fortress, and proceeded to occupy Clarence Barracks. Lieut.-General Thos. Hutcheasun, Colonel-Com mandant of the 13th battalion of the Royal Artillery died on Friday last at Dover, after a lingering ill ness, in his 77th year. The gallant general had seen considerable service, and a few years after he .entered the army served in Holland (1799). He served in the Peninsula and France from March 1813 to July 1814, and took part in the campaign. in Belgium in 1815, being at the battle of Water loo, and remained in France with the army of oc cupation until November 1818. His commission bore date as follows :—Second Lieutenant, Dacem ber 1, 1727 ; First Lieutenant, October 2, 1799 ; Captain, April 10, 1803 ; Brevet-Major, August 12, 1819 ; Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel, July 22, 1839 ; Regimental Colonel, November 23, 1841 ; Colonel Commandant, Auguit 30, 1851 ; Major-General, June 20, 1854 ; and Lieutenant- eneral, 1856.

(Prom the Homeward Mail from India and China.) The daisy announcements of the despatch of fresh reiefercemen . s to India, the long list of trans ports for i lhe conveyance of troops, the visits of great personag , s to the points of embarkation, the magnificence of the vessels, and the continued din and bustle of a great expedition, tend to canvince every one that astonishing efforts are being made for the complete restoration of our power in India. People in authority are ready with tabular state ment of the number and strength of the regiments proceeding to India. It is remembered that there are already in that country so many Queen's troops, and so many in the service of the Company. The loyalty of the native armies of Bombay and Madras is very justly reckoned upon ; and Sikhs, Ghoor kas, and many other new levies are enumerated. In short, no one doubts that, under every possible contingency, and even though the numbers and perfidy of the enemy may obtain for them some temporary success, our final triumph is not far dis taut. But it is the duty of those who wish to ar rive at the real truth, and ascertain the exact posi-. tiou of affairs, to discard all unnecessary details, and restrain a too sanguine spirit, which is, no doubt, valuable in the moment of action, but must be never suffered to influence our calculations. We wish on the present, occasion to take a sober—not, indeed, a sombre—view of affairs, and of our dis posable military strength as regards the crisis in In dia, and as much as possible to put ourselves in the position of a military man whose task it might be to restore order out of the present chaos.with the means now available. It appears, then, that there are of her Majesty's troops in India, or proceeding thither, 8 regiments of cavalry, 451 of infantry, and 3 troops and 10 companies of artillery. Reckoning the infantry regiments at 900, the cavalry at. 600 men each, and the artillery at 200 men a troop and 150 men a company, we have a total of 47,850 men—a great force truly. To these are to be added nine Company's regiments of Eu ropean infantry, and 17 troops of horse and 48 companies of foot artillery, in round numbers 20,000 men, with a few hundreds of unattached officers belonging to revolted regiments, and a handful of volunteers, forming a grand total of about 70,000 European soldiers. To this force must be added the native armies of Madras and Bombay, the Sikh auxiliaries, some Ghoorkas, and i other levies, and a few regiments of the Bengal army which like the 31st, even yet remain staunch. Such a statement would. probably be quite suffi cient for a person without Indian experience and unacquainted with military matters, and he would feel quite assured that if even India were in rebel lion from Cape Comorin to Cashmere it would be easy to reconquer it. A moment' reflection, how ever will suffice to show the matter in a somewhat different light. In considering how the vast region from Benares to Delhi, including Oude, Bundle cund, Agra, and Rohilcund, now in rebellion, is to be recovered, we must strike out of the account all the troops in the two minor presidencies—whether European or native—as well as those that garrison the Punjab. The Bombay army will have enough to in preserving order within the limits ofits own pre sidency, and in sending up reinforcements to Scinde and the Punjab, so as to keep a good front towards Affghanistan and Persia. The columns which have moved en Mhow and Indoro may also recover and hold those places. To expect further aid from the Bombay army would be unwise. The Madras army has also quite enough to occupy it within its ordinary limits, and in overawing Hyderabad and Nagpore and the bigoted Mahomedan population in other parts of the Madras Presidency. Toe troops already in Bengal are not even sufficient to garrison the principal points on the main lines of communi cation and hold the great cities. Cawnpore has fallen, and though General Havelock has recovered it and probably been sufficiently reinforced to at temptt the relief of Lucknow, the difficulty of that undertaking cannot be disguised. The o.ng less undisci plined troops of the -enemy m Oude, eventsbe for some reinforcements to Delhi, e than 20,000 men. There is, besides, eaommunication, very troublesome on the i d e fers or weak detach and cert cut off cannot of rabble Bavelock's column, can advance 000 men, G to eu 2 e , ral h opposition , and relieve ra s3 e strengthenednmilest Gran t inth p o e facertbh aapt ofs it is hardly the remains of the garrison at Lucknow,. to be thought that he . could retain that great city such t . . inhabitants in a . country the . population of 300 , 000 3 w r i er is altogether hostile. He will, therefore, either fall back on Ali ahabad and Benares 41 rein forcements can arrive from England, or att emp t t o superior numbers. Thi s appears so difficultimmamkeen ae l a y n operation, when the want of carriage, the rainy season, and other things are consi dered, that it is possible no additional troops may be able to reach Agra, Meerut, and Delhi before the regiments now on their way from England arrive at Calcutta—that is, the mid dle of November. It will be admitted, then, that the position of our troops at the above place is most critical. At Agra every third man has already been killed or wounded, and there remain but 350 Ea ropeans to defend the place. At Meerut our strength does not exceed 700. Our army before Delhi is, we fear, greatly overrated. General Reed has 0 • 000 native soldiers, two regi of Euro- A depot company of the 33th Regiment, coa sisting of 55 rank and file, under command of Major Daniel, with Captain Sidney G.

The H troop of Royal Horse Artillery were yesterday morning, in consequence of the rain, as sembled in heavy marching order in the Riding School at Woolwich, as well as the dismounted party of the detachment, and were minutely in spected by Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, commanding the garrison. The A and B troops, together with the detachment of the mounted bri gade, were subsequently assembled in marching order on Woolwich Common, in presence of the General and his staff, and, having been inspected, they were put through a series of minor drills under the command of Colonel Maude, C.B. The General afterwards addressed the men, and in formed them that nothing could exceed the sat isfac t ion he felt of returning to Woolwich and inspecting the Royal Horse Artillery Brigade—one of the finest and most soldierlike corps in her Majesty's service, and he had no doubt they would continue to maintain that position. Captain Arthur 0. L, Lewis, Royal Marine Light Infantry belonging to the Woolwich division, having been medically surveyed and pronounced by Sir John Riddle incapacitated for further service, has been permitted to retire on the half-pay ser vice provision. Her Majesty's steamship Vulcan, Commander Seccombe, it is reported is ordered to proceed to Halifax to embark troops for England. The Rifleman, 8, steamvessel, Lieutenant Chris tian, arrived at Spithead last evening from the South-East coast of the America station. The Indiana screw steamer passed through Spit head, from the eastward, last evening for South ampton. The steam freightship Gibraltar sailed front Woolwich-pier yesterday, laden with timber, slates, and other building materials and stores for Gib raltar. The select committee of Woolwich Arsenal ac companied by some naval officers of experience and a number of the Royal Artillery garrison, as sembled in the Plumstead-marshes yesterday, at 2 30 p.m., for the purpose of witnessing a final ex periment with Martin's shells. These shells were brought under the consideration of Government on the Ist of April, 1856, an d have since under gone four experimental trials. Yesterdays' trial was conducted by the inventor himself, who is a manufacturing founder residing at Blackwell. The shells employed on the different occasions have been of various dimensions so as to contain from n s u e m a. ber T o h f e 281 b. to 481 b. of fluid metal. The butt yesterday was the old 36-gun frigate, fitted out with upper and oriop decks, as used on, the former trials, which, strengthenedii:ebu lookedr n with ing really t liquid ui a addition a i t ts i o ha n i p d o f i a 61-pounder of 8-inch calibre, fi red five shots having been renovated, and the upper deck covered. s aa t t ance of 900 gun, yards from the object, two of which broadside facing the filled lgt un and ri with a g t e l gun.

A powerful engine from the Royal Arsenal, already in attendance, was then ordered to pour a stream of water over the burning ship, but this appeared only to revive the flames, which burst forth with rabid fury, notwithstanding the heavy rain, which had completely saturated the timbers, and which even' then partially continued. After the utmost exertions on the part of the firemen to subdue the progress of the flames the pumps were ordered to be withdrawn, and the ship's timbers were shortly reduced to a few blackened and char• red planks.

THE SOUNDINGS FOR TES ATLANTIC dicator, which sank suspended to the lead, the one being a check on the other, so that no error of moment could avoid detection. In no event Could the depth be greater than the amount of linei out, while owing to deflecting causes affecting thel line alone, Massey's indicator might with perfect accu racy read considerably less. During the first' half of the cruise care was taken to obtain the precise depth with the line, with the most gratifying :agree ment of its returns with the readiness of the ,self registering sounding apparatus. As in every Case, however, the readings of the latter were preferred, it was found convenient to throw out a supera bundance of line to assure the descent of the lead to the bottom • the amount of line out was thus often in considerable exoess of the recorde i depth. Two sets of soundings were thus obtained ; one with Massey's apparatus, and the other with the old method of simple line and sinker. That the former is to be preferred is argued by the fact that, specimens from the bottom being obtained every time, the depth could not have been in excess of the length of line out, while it might have been as much less as the readings on Massey's apparatus, the sounding line being deflected from the perpendicular by driftage and currents, and that thesecauses of error really exist . is admitted by Maury in a dozen places. The imperfections of the system he advises are pro digioui, and when overcome are the exceptional cases ; not one-tenth of the deep-sea soundings ob tained under it are considered reliable by Maury himself. At a depth of one mile or two miles, with no currents or driftings, it may be trusted. These conditions were apparently perfectly obtained by Captain Platt, of the Albany, in the Gulf of Mexico ; yet, sounding twice at the same point, the returns differed one-half. But these conditions are hardly ever obtained. The ocean *hill of currents, which will carry off the sounding line in immense loops ; and in the immense ocean depths, where the shock of the sinker striking bottom cannot be conveyed through two or three miles of line, it be comes almost impossible to arrive at an approxima tion of its true depth. Two soundings at the same spot will differ 50 and 100 per cent. It is this im potent manner of obtaining soundings that has fos tered the vulgar belief in the unfathomable depth of the sea. However great are these causes of error, they are not applicable to the little self-registering sounding apparatus used on board of the Arctic. It may have errors of its own, but it escapes these:; mid on the precision of its returns will depend, in no small degree, the success of failure of the At lantic Telegraph. SiIIPPING RETURNS. The sbipping statistics of the Board of Trade for the mouth of July show a moderate increase in the aggregate amount of tonnage employed. The increase in British vessels is very considerable, while in foreign, with the ex ception of American, there has been a falling off.

Years ago people asked " Cui bono 1" when thou sands were expended on expeditions the only re turns of which were a handful of shells and a few casts of the deep sea lead ;—yet it is on the accu racy of these returns that the project is now being hazarded. The bottom of the sea has bean care fully surveyed and mapped, with all its variety of mountain and prairie land, its telegraphic plateau and its deep hollows, where no lead has ever found bottom. The soil, too, from the bottom has been brought up and analyzed, and has revealed many curious phenomena pertaining to these sunless depths , . The ocean bed of the North Atlantic is a curious study ; in some parts furrowed by currents, in others presenting banks, the accumulations per haps of the debris of these ocean rivers during countless ago , . To the west, the Gulf Sireatn pours along a bed fr o m one m ,l e to a mile and a half in depth. To the east of this, and south of the Great Beaks, is a basin, eight or ten degrees square, where the bottom attains a greater depression than perhaps the highest peaks of the Andes or klinaa laya,—six miles of line hove failed to retch the bottom ; but of this more presently. Taking a pro file of th Atlantic basinin our own latitude, we find a far greater depression than any mountain eleva tion ou our own continent. Four or five Alleghaniss would have to be piled on each other, and on them added Fremont's peak, before their point would show itself above the surface. Between the Azores and the mouth of the Tagus this decreases to about three miles. Further north there is au apparent decrease of depth, with increasing regularity of bottom, though , it is pre ema,tioal Whether this is not owing to the greater accuracy with which ,these observations have been conduoted. This apparent rise has been called the " Telegraphic Plateau," or as articles emanating from the observatory would have it, "Maury's Plateau" (lucus a nem, &c.) This appears to be the natural route for the Trans atlantic Telegraph. Other plans have been pro posed—one a northing circuit, between the several points of Scotland, Iceland, Gr&euland, and the Labrador coast, each span be ng some 500 miles, or to use ono or two of the island groups of the At lantic. In the route selected we have many advan tages—convenient harbours at either terminus ; a depth of water at every point sufficient to place the wire beyond the reach of any surface causes, such as ice or the anchor of any ship, yet not at an im practicable depth, being at the shoalost several hundred feet, and in mid-Atlantis not materially over two miles. During a thousand miles of its course the gradual depression of the ocean bed does not exceed 500 fathoms. On either side lie Ireland and Newfoundland, the breastwork of either conti nent, approaching within 1700 miles, and forming the natural termini of its route. Trinity Bay is its western head, and Valentia Bay, on the south western pofnt of Ireland, its eastern. This, then, is the bed on which the telegraphic cable is to lie, an unbroken prairie land, extending from continent to continent. Let us now see the nature of this bed. Spec:mens of the bottom, when subjected to a powerful glass, exhibit delicate shells and infusoria, fragile as if carved in eggshell, yet as perfect in all their delicate formation as any of the more durable works of nature. The least attrition would crumble all this to powder. The inference is, that all agi tation of winds and currents is confined to the surface, and that at those sonless depths the great mass of water remains in almost a quieicent state, and that the telegraphic wire, if once laid in safety, would lie for ever beyond the reach of harm, sinking among and covered by these fleecy particles. Acl this may be incorrect, but we have strong rea -ons for the supposition. If so, can it ever be laid in safety ? Some abortive efforts at deep-sea sound ings furnish curious data for our belief in its practi cability. Miles of a sm all it ou wire not thicker than a child's little finger were actually laid at the bot tom of the ocean, and recovered unbroken at a con siderably greater depth than any found on the pla teau. The modus operandi of laying the cable was here performed with a wire of but a fractional part of the strength and fitness of that proposed. The wire laid by the British in the B'ack Sea was, how ever, not of greater size of stiangth than this. The experiment of laying the wire is performed in deep sea sounding whenever a wire is substituted for the ordinary sounding line. With the depth known, with the character of the bottom known, with a cable as plastic as rope, yet with a tenacity capable of sustaining four miles of its length in air, and al most any extent in water, with I iur of the finest ships in the world for laying it, aided by the de arly bought experience gai ne d i n the submersion of half a dozen other lines, we have every reason for our behalf that the Atlantic Telegraph will be a success. Let us now see by whom, and in what manner, were these explorations made, and whether they are worthy of the confidence placed in their accuracy by the Telegraph Company. Lieut. Maury has up to this time enjoyed a mo nopoly of the reputation derivable from them, and his own name has been linked to the telegraphic plateau, the existence of which was first rendered probable, and afterwards certain, by the labours of other persons. This rather questionable reputation would now be left undisturbed did he not now essay to knock away the scaffolding by which he has risen, and to th row di scre dit o n those very re searches the fruit of w hi c h h e has so abundan i ly reaped. Lieutenant M aur y h as only been the medium by which th e l a b ours o f other officers have been made public. Th e on ly ex plorations made by our own Governm en t a t a ll b e aring on this fiield are those of Lieutenant Berryman in the Dolphin the s urveys of the in 1853, and in th e A rc ti c d ur i n g the past autumn, when sent out by th e _Navy Department t o examine the telegraphic rout e . Th a t Dolphin were as a ccura t e as the imperfect appa ratus then in use w ou ld p er mit is admitted by Maury, who besto we d on th em the highest praise. It only remains, then, to examine the returns ot the Arctic which have been questioned by him, both officially in scientific lectures, and i n the public press. Before d o i ng this, the public must understand the several mod es of making deep sea soundings, on the relative merits of which the whole question hinges. The old system is, with a small line marked at distances of 100 fathoms, and with a weight of 30 or 50 pounds, the depth being told by the length of line run out. This is, of course, the most natural apparatus that suggests itself, and hasbeen in use from the earliest ages. Experience has given directions for its use, avoiding some of the grosser causes of error from drifting and other causes. Yet its success in immense ocean depths is problematical, and a problem decided in the negative by very man y of the first scientific authorities at home and abroad. In the mechanical improvements of the last half centui y substitutes for this simple but rather uncer tain method began to be devised. It was proposed to ascertain the depth by the amount of pressure, or by explosions under water, with other equally impracticable plane. At last was noticed the perfect regularity of the movements of of a spirally-shaped wheel, on being drawn through the water. Expe riments proved that this regularity, when unaffected by other causes, could be relied on with perfect accuracy, and that an arrangement of cog-wheels would register its revolutions with mathematical precision. Very soon it came in use as a ship's log. So perfect was their precision, that they were oven introduced in scientific surveys. Base lines, where the nicest accuracy is required, were run with them, and we have the highest authority of the Royal Navy for believing that they never failed. At this point it was proposed to apply them in a perpendi cular as well as in a horizontal motion through the water, Massey's- apparatus premising to solve those problems of submarine geography left unsolved by the old method of obtaining depth with a simple line and sinker, and this more especially as some causes of error, considerable on the surface, disap pear in the still water below. After a more thorough trial of the old method than, perhaps, any officer in the service, Lieut. Berryman proposed to explore the Telegraphic Pla teau with the use of Massey's apparatus, in opposi tion to the opinion of Lieut. Maury, who, follow ing the traditions of the service, was attached to the old system of line and ball. Many tradi tions are stubborn things, and the new method has met, of course, with all that opposition un avoidable on the introduction of an improvement which, though known for years abroad, is a novelty among our own people. But, though its use was new, its principle was no novelty to Lieutenant Maury, who years ago was quite in love with the beautiful simplicity, and copied it as his own invention into a late edition of his Sailing Directioi,s, with the assurance that it "works beau fully." This would not be referred to did not Maury's present attack on the soundings made with Massey's apparatus now make it necessary to quote him among the many authorities in its favour. The manner of obtaining depth from the Arctic was with the two methods used in conjunction,—to sound with a simple line and ball, giving an ap proximation to the depth, but trusting for the nicer shades of accuracy tco the reaclinetS ot Massey's in- THE ROYAL ALBERT BRIDGE AT SALT ASH. The first tube of this stupendous structure was laid on the piers on Wednesday, and will in a few months be raised to the required height. In the meantime a second tube will be got ready for plac ing, and the bridge be made complete. Its progress has already altered the appearance of Saltash more than anything that has occurred for many years. Saltash, situate on the Cornwall side of the Tsmar, about 3 miles north of Devonport, .has in la,ps'e of time suffered the fate of many a more populous place, and had a decline and fall. Before Devon port was, Saltash was a considerable town noted for its fisheries, its market., and its members of Parliament, but of late years the rising towns nearer the mou h of the river have supplanted its trade and its fishing, and reforms have taken away its privilege of affording places to M.P.'s; but it still continued somewhat famous as the ruler of the liberties of the Tamar and as the recipient of tolls from all vessels coming within its bounds ; and it was still famous, too, for its rowing amazons, who. in contests with men, carried off prizes at many of the rowing regattas of Britain and the Continent. This fame, however, is fast passing away, as the introduction of steam-vessels to con vey passengers from the "ancient borough" to Devonport has rendered the plying of boa's a very uncertain and precarious livelihood, so that not only the women but the men hive had to seek other employments. It was remarkabl,, to- , , for its cockles and shell-fish ; but that is no longer the case, for these bivalves are not to be found in the same locations as formerly, and those found are now collected mostly by Irish denizens of Plymouth, and by them sold to the Saltash women, who now, in stead of catching, simply prepare and vend the fish. But the determination to m ace a rail way from Plymouth to Truro, and the selection of Saltash Passage as the point for crossing tie Tamar, has caused,the sun of prosperity again to shine on the old town, and new hous •st are now being built, the shops and streets improved, and a bustle and activity given to it the like of .which have , not been witnessed for many years. But never was Saltash so full of people as on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1857. The crossing the Tamar was the difficulty of the Cornish railway, which it was necessary should commence from the terminus of the South Devon line, and hence across the Tamar, at as short a dis tance as possible. Saltash Passage was considered a very eligible spot for the undertakiug, where, from the height of the hills on both sides, it was believed a bridge could be advantageously thrown act ors at a great elevation ; but the Government authorities offered a sturdy opposition to allowing the waters of the Tamar to be cumbered with many piers for the benefit of a private company, and that company also wanted to do the work cheap. Here then st ppe lin the genius of engineering resources, Mr. Brunel, and it was announced that he could give a perfect solu tion of the difficulty to the satisfaction of all parties. An entirely new kind of iron bridge was to be tried, one that should combine in one structure the merits both of the tubular and suspension bridges previ ously erected, and possess the strength of the for mer with a saving of 25 per cent. in the weight of iron. It would require but one pier in the centre of the river, and be carried across at a clear eleva tion from shore to shore, ample enough to give the fullest satisfaction. The Royal Albert Bridge now erecting at Saltash is the result of Mr. Brunet's de sign. There is only one other bridge of the kind yet erected, viz., that one built at Chepstsw, in the year 1854, for the South Wales Railway line, and also constructed by Mr. Brunel. In 1853 the bridge was commenced by Mr. C. J. Mare,of Black wall, as contractor. Subsequent to Mr. Mare's bankruptcy the entire management of the erection of the bridge has been undertaken by Mr. Brunel, who has let the several branches of the work in small contracts. This bridge is altogether 2,200 feet in length, the span of each main opening being from the cen tre of one pier to the centre of the other, 455 feat; height of centre pier from foundation in the bed of the river, 240 feet ; height of roadway, above high water mark, 100 feet ; of ditto above low water mark, 118 feet. The main openings are each span ned by an oval tube, whose diameters are 17 feet and 12 feet, the ends of which are connected by chains, which together form a parabolic curve, and from those chains are suspended the roadway. To prevent the sacking down of the tube, at intervals of 40 feet occur vertical strutts above the points of suspension, diagonal braces connecting the strutts for the purpose of distributing the load, the height of the section over each opening being 1,100 tons, these sections when fixed in their permanent posi tions will stand with their shore ends ou brick pil lars surmounting granite and lime-stone piers, and their other ends on standards supported by four hollow octagonal cast iron columns, ten feet in di ameter, built in the centre of the xiver and stand ing ,12 feet above high water mark—two of the iron colums supporting each section. From the bot tom of the roadway to the top of the tube at the centre is about 75 feet and the whole is constructed of malleable iron plates. The section of the bridge has been constructed on a temporary quay by the water's edge, and docks cut under a stage erected for the admission of two pontoons at each end. These pontoons draw about eight feet six inches of water, one foot of immersion beyond their natural draft being equal to 250 tons, or thereabouts. By means of valves the pontoons admit water into their interiors, and were thus passed beneath the ends of the tuba ; and on closing those valves, rose with the tide, an i raised their ponderous weight the necessary height required. At the ends of the tubes, bed-plates and rollers allow of their free extension and ooutraction under varying temperatures—a very necessary provision. The important and interesting part of the work that was carried out on Tuesday was the raising and floating off of the first or weste-n section from the yard where it was built, and landing it on the piers. During the past week extensive preparations were made, under the superintendence of Mr. Bru nel and his engineering staff, for the carrying out of this work. Five vessels, borrowed from the Go vernment authorities, were moored in a semicircle above the bridge, on board of which were two powerful crabs for the purpose of warping the tube round its position. A large portion of the gear employed and appliances used were bor rowed from the Dockyard, but Mr. Canning, of Teat's-bill, supplied the rope used in controlling R.N., who had chargepontoons. the bridges, was present to superintend everything afloat, Mr. Brunel taking entire cont ro l of the pontoons, o f the floating Capt. of Clacton, t m e and Conway nai and directing the operations by means of signals ex (62l. &ET. ~~"'.
