THE WEEKLY PRESS.

work is thickened to 13 feet, a culvert being
formed in it. The upper part of the wall is well
backed with concrete, courses of brickwork run-
ning back into this concrete to bind the whole to-
' gether. The lock gates, which are each 43 feet
wide by 31 feet high, differ in the details, of their
construction from any that have been hitherto
erected inlknivrantry:- -They are wtsattifesiusse
" box-gates ;" but instead of its beineatteinpted
to make the box formed bT each leaf water tight,
as is done in a majority of instances, the river aide
of each gate is perforated so that the water flows
freely in or out of the box. The other side of the gate
next the dock, is of course made water tight.
Those who are skilled in these matters know that
box gates of the ordinary kind, although they may
be waxer tight when new, rarely continue long in
that condition, the vibration caused by the shocks
to which they are imbject soon producing leakage.
In the gates of the Millwall Docks, the water being
in contact with both sides of the water-tight sue-
face of the gates, the vibration caused by any blows
which that surface may receive will be much less,
and as a result leas leakage will follow. Having
thus described the entrance and its locks let us
now proceed to the wet dock—a fine extensive
basizi, which has been constructed in the moat

The Spectator has scarcely a doubt that the ver-
dict it President Jehaeon's nee, whether it Is for annitial
or ondipaalios, will be that of OM from both the pet-
tier represented in the Senate. TIM party sereggia, if
there is one, will be co the sentence, not the verdict.
Nothing binds the Senate to indict deposition. They may
suspend, or even reprimand, and it is quite eau-
' oeivable that sa often*e which to a republican
' seems terrible may to a democrat mean venial.
I Lord 0 sines and Sir A. Coals= are both trust-
worthy Judges, but they would probably parish
,a political libel very differently, and democrats may
honestly be lenient, where republicans moot in bounty be
severe. The Senate, however, is evidently disposed to
ad with dignity and decision ; in presideat, Chief Justin
Chan, is a strong man and a true republican ; the difficulty
of arresting the President ham been surmounted by a rum.

, hat to • plea of " Not guilty;" and we have little doubt
that before the middle of April—possibly before the end
' of March —Mr. Johnson will have retired to Tennison, and

Tau PROPOSED SYNODICAL OZGANISATION IN THE
Cavaco OF SNOLAND.—It would appear from a pause in
the Bishop of Lialifield's forthcoming pastoral letter to his
clergy, that it has been decided to abandon the attempt
to endow the proposed synods with legislative and judical
powers. The passage referred to runs thus : It is
now generally understood that the synods shall not
mesasse judicial or legislative functions, but shall confine
theasselvea to such matters of practical importance as fall
within the province of • body associated together by
voluntary compact for religious, charitable and educa-
tional purposes." This alterationof the original scheme
will meet the principal objection entertained against it by
a large number of churchmen in the diocese, who were of
opinion that the institution of synodical councils upon the
basis first proposed by Dr. Selwyn would lead to an inter-
ference with the religious liberty, both of the clergy and
laity, in his lordehly's see.

—Several doputallicas from the Associated Chambers of
Comments waited ysetezday upon different members Of
this gemenment, to submit the remlotions and moniorkis
agreed to at the neat conference. The first deputation
went to Lord Manley sad the Duke of Richmond, at the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's Milos, the right hon. gen-
tleman himself being suddenly prevented from being pre-
sent as he had promised. The Doke of Richmond sent
down his nail intimation that representatives of the press
were act to be admitted, but upon Lad Stanley's arrival
the seder was at once reversed. The deputation first drew
Me m*, to the necessity of haring a treaty of commerce
with and Portugal, under which the wines of those
might be introduced into England. In reply
