THE CHARING-CROSB RAlLWAY.—Yestertlay Cap-
tain Tyler, it. E., the government inspector of railway; ac-
companied by Mr. liawkshaw, the engineer of the line, sod
a numerous staff of officials, iospected the permaneot way
mid works of this line, and tested the bride over the
Thames. They arrived oe the ground about 11 o'clock. Pour
locomotives and a train of trucks loaded with railway bar
iron and gravel steamed on to the four lines of tail OIS the
Surrey side of the Thames, and pulled up over the tint
span, meting fora tenth of time thereon, the weight thus
applied being equivalent to a ton per foot on each line
of rails—the total weight of each train being 154 tons,
making the angregate pressore load applied to the
satire span amount to 616 tons. The same pro-
cess was applied in succession to the other four spans,
up to that on the Middlesex side, the losds being shifted
alternately backwards and forwards, sod then left
stationary until all the opens with their girders, which are
154 feet in the clear, were fully tested, the average result
being a deflexion of only three-quarters of an loch in the
centre, the piers of the bridge remaining rigid, and the
weight sustained being twice as great as the bridge in all
probability will ever be called upon to boar. The deflexion
of the aces girder, was also at the same time ascertained,
the result being a deflexion el 3-38 the of ao inch in the
centre, with the load distributed. The tame is considered to
be as satisfactory as it was severe. The stations, signals,
and permanent way were also inspested. Another experi-
mental trip will be made by the government inspector
before he reports the einem of the lies fee public use. It
is intended to be opened is time for the Christmas traffic.
THE INCENDIARY FIRES IN YORKBILIRE—Auotber
incendiary fire has occurred on the Wolda in the East
Riding of Yorkshire. This makes the seventh fire In the
stockyards of the district within the present year—three of
them taking place a one eight, a few weeks ago. Amongst
the farmers great alarm prevails, arising from this wanton
and wholesale &drastic" of their moduce. After the three
recent fires, a reward of lOW. for the apprehension of the
incendiaries was offered, but they have hitherto escaped de-
tection. If no better swam hereafter attend the efforts
of the police, it is said the fanners intend to form an
establishment of bloodhounds to traek the malicious destroy-
en of their property, and give greater security to the die-
lila. —Leeds Mercury.
