asst OSA gratification to all who shared the privilege. It

• sa set to ward off the horrors of oppression—who,
whet he was dent with the field, had entered the cabinet,
al there eshibited powers which claimed for him the
:h.t.oter of adviser in all cases of political emergency. It
e.• wah considerable satisfaction he quoted from the
cewspaper the observation made by Sir Robert Peel,
c a loner given at the Mansion-house to his Majesty's
Leken, relative to the Duke of Wellington. Atter the
triti, el " Sir Robert Peel and his Olejeoy's Ministers "

to abridge the dissuasions ea both of the peeposidoss.
The court than wrtsd that Mr. Hainoch's proposal
should be magridaefelorthameasely with the report.
Mr. BENNOCH then said although he had given notice
lot the motion kw a uew ,bridge so long ago as December,
1831, he was nevertheless glad of the delay, as the report
faigjileea by tar.. Bridge House Committee added weight
to his prebend pee • st, The new bridge which
be bad the privilege to propose wuulJ rural k !ink
connecting lines of traffic running nearly direct north
and south, and when the approaches were completed they
would have a COIItiOU.O4 stint from the Angel at Islington
to the Elephant and Castle, or indeed all the way to Claps
ham. (lieu.) There would be no needle's deviation to
the left to crowd London-bridge, nor to the right to choke
cep Blaekfrian. As a large number of the Clapham residents
had buaineu in the centre of the (key, they might then
come directly to St. Paul's, greatly relieve both the present
free bridge', and avoid the slippery inelie.e of Blackfriare, as
well as the steep hills of Ludgate or Snow, while Smithfield
when the nierk,:t was removed, might become a e real
control omnibus depot, a public convene: we very much re-
quired. (Hear.) Ills proposed imp osement began at the
end of the new Cannorostrect. To widen Old Change,
and open • proper approach to the bridge, the west side of
Old Change must be taken demo. From Fish-street to
Thames-street the east side of Lambeth-hill must come
down, and from Thames-street to the river, the eastern
side of Trig-lane must be taken down. They would ob-
serve that all the way only one Mile of a street had to be
taken down, and only half compensation could be claimed,
while Doctors' Commons would remain undisturbed. The
street projected from Cannon-street to Earl-street, Black-
friars, did not equal in simplicity and beauty the route
.hoses. kat them look at the rates of inclination of the
approaches to tome of the bridges across the Thames.
London Bridge, on the Surrey side, from the gate of St.
Thomas's Hospital, had in 100 feet 4 feet rise ; Southwark,
3 feet 3 inches; Southwark (City side). 4 feet 6 inches;
Illackfrian (Surrey side), 3 feet 10 inches Waterloo (ditto),
3 feet; Westminster (ditto), 3 feet II inches; Middleeez
side, 3 feet 9 inches ; and the proposed bridge, Surrey side,
2 feet 6 inches; and on the City side, it would be on the
level. (Hear, hear.) Then, let them look at the cost of
the several bridges. The new London-bridge cost 660,2323. ;
removing the old bridge. 3.3,0001.; the approaches,
1,840,4331. ; Southwark, including the approaches, 800,0001. ;
Blackfriars (ditto), 210,0001. ; Waterloo (ditto), 1,000,0001. ;
Westminster, 358,7001.; Vauxhall, 1303/001.; Hungerford,
110,000/. ; while he had it from the best authority that
the proposed bridge, which he would name .• St.
Paul's," to be 60 feet in width, with a boundary
of 27 feet 6 inches, might be erected for 144,000/.
The estimate of 144,000/. did not include the purchase of
any land or compensation to hr given, bat even thew, from
the character of the locality, might be fairly considered len
than is usual in such cases; the sum, though moderate, is
ample, and the designer would guarantee its execution
within the estimate. This arises (rem various causes. Such
works, through the incitement of railway enterprise, are
better uuder.tood. The nature of iron, and its many ad-
vantages in works of this magnitude. are thoroughly com-
prehended ; and, above an, coffer-dams and the old.
fashioned system of pile-driving are entirely dispensed
with by • recent very ingenious application of the
principles of the diving beU. A tube is dropped
into the water, and rests upon the bed of the raver,
if the river is deeper than the tube is long other tubes are
rivetted to it until the uppermost stands above high water
an apparatus with double valves is axed on the top and
made sir tight ; an air-pump is then applied, and the pres-
sure within the pipe raised until it expels the water, which
cannot ooze in again, the pressure within being greater
than the density of the water without, and keeps the inte-
rior of the tube perfectly dry. Workmen then descend,
dig luny the ground from under the edge of the tube,which
sinks by its own weight, and as it sinks, other cylinders
are fixed on the top, and the whole let down until they
have reached a solid foundation. In this manner the tubes
of one of the piers for the new bridge at Rochester were
lowered 40 feet below the bed of the river, and planted on
the solid rock, and they would have taken it four hundred
feet if necessary. The material eat out is lifted up
through the valves before named, and when the proper
depth is gained, they introdaus bricks and portiandeement,
and fill the cavity of the tube with them, which immedi-
ately becomes as strong es stone. These tubes (bcirg six or
seven feet in diameter) an placed within two or three
feet of each other, and in double rows, and can be extended
to any length that the width of the bridge requires, they
are then all braced together with beems of iron, and on the
top is placed a plate of iron with transverse beams, and the
cavities between about 12 inches deep are filled with
cement, dec. Then round all the tubes is fixed a shield
pointed up and down the river, so that all danger
is warded off, and injury from COIUSIMI avoided. The plate
described may then become the foundation for the
stone work, from which the arches spring, or the
plate itself may become the foundation should any question
arise as to the durability of the iron or its likelihood to cor-
rode and fall off. He (Mr. Bent ooh) had been enured by
Sir Charles Fox, than whom there is no better authority,,
that iron in such a position and cue inch thick, would last
500 years, but if it did fall off you have still left the solid
masonry which time could hardly destroy. He had, he
touted, proved satisfactorily the three propositions he act
oat with—the necessity ens obvious—no site could be better
chosen, and the cost would be only half the coat of Black-
friars, and only one-fourth the espouse of London-bridge.
The streets in the neighbourhood seem to have been ar-
ranged as if some such improvement had then been
contemplated. After crossing the river on a dead
owl from Fish-street, by a very gentle descent,
et ft. 6 in. in 100, it comes to the level at rnion-street,
arming only two streets of any importance, Thames-street
la the City, and Guildford-street in the Borough. Con-
doning southward, it joins the new Southwark-bridge-read
Wend the Queen's Bench, and gives • direct line from the
Batt of Middlesex to the heart of Surrey. One objection
unary be urged which has generally made weight, but in this
,losiance opposition would be fruitless, ea he believed the
banding of a church where church accommodation was
seeded, would overcome the scruples of the Bishop of
Leaden, and permission to pull down Saint Mary's, Fish-
Octet, would wily be obtained. Ile (Mr. Bennoch) had
awed statistics of attendance at the churches in that
il be taken, and was astonished to Sad

THE FLEET VALLEY IMPROYEMENT.
Deputy BEDFORD, seeing the chairman of the Fleet
Valley Improvement (Deputy Harrison) in his place,
wished to ask—as his constituents were exceedingly anxious
about the matter—whether anything was likely to be done
on sn early day in the matter of the Fleet Valley Improve-
ment ?
Deputy HARRISON was not able to answer Deputy

moved by parties out of the Court, with whom, up to that
time, they had not had any communication. The matter,
therefore, so rested that they had simply nothing to report.

TOL FUNERAL OF TUE DOLE OF WELLINGTON.—
The outer coffin, the last which is intended to enclose the
remains of the departed duke, was completed at the establish-
ascot of Memrs.Dowhiggin, Holland, and Co., on Wednesday
evenin4, and forwarded with a party of assistants to Walser
Castle by a late train. It is formed of solid mahogany, of
great thickness, and is covered upon the outside with crim-
son velvet secured with gilt nails. The ornaments and
handles also are of silver gilt, and are of elaborate device.
The c wpm was placed in the coffin yesterday morning, and
the 11,1 having been secured a pall of great size, manufac-
tured expressly for the occasion, was then thrown ever it.
, The inner coMa of all la made of strong deal covered with
black cloth, and It was constructed at Walmer Castle im-
mediately after the Duke's decease. Outside this is a leaden
coffin hermetically closed. Enclosing these two is a coffin
of solid oak. and above all is the mahogany coffin which
hal just been described.

TSB LAST ROVES OF THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON.

The Modica, Noses gives a professional report on
this subject, bat It scarcely differs from the screams which
hays already been published. It is as follows:
" TWRIIDAT, September 14.—About half-past eight this
morning my father received a note from Walser Castle,'
stating that the Duke of Wellington wished to see him. He
immediately went to the Castle. His Grace oomplained of
uneasiness about the chest and stomach ; was then per-
fectly conscious, and answered questions put to him with
correctness. Some medicine was ordered, and during its
preparation his Grace took some tea and toad. Shortly
after leaving the Castle, my father received another tom '
munication, stating that his Grace was mush worse ; he had
had fits similar to these he was subject to. My father and
I went directly, and found hie Grew in bed, unconscious;
capee, turned a little upwards, filed; pupils of medium size ;
warm and moist; respiration very laborious, from so-
cumulation of taueu, ID !sir tubes. Before our snivel his
valet had applied a mustard petillhei to his chest, as en
former occasion this hal given relief.
" Dr. bl'Arthur soon arrived, and Des. Hume and For-
gtissen were telegraphed for.
" Dr. M'Arthsr advised a mustard emetic to be given,
having prescribed one with advantage for the duke several
years ago under similar cireumatances. This and other
measures were now of no avail. His Ones became very
restless, tried to tura on his left side ; occasionally there
were slight twitching' of the lett arm. When raised in bed,
his breathing was much more tree, and this induced us to
plate him in an easy chair, when his respiration became
much les embarrassed ; his rube sank, and his Grace was
now placed more horizontally ; the pulse rallied for a little
time, and then gradually declined; the breathing became
more feeble; and, at twenty live minutes past three o'clock
p.m., his Grace breathed his last. So easy and gi elle was
the transition, that for the moment it was doubted. A
mirror was held before his Grace's month ; its brightness
was undimmed, and he was so am.
"loan Wistrowsn }lrian."
