NEW RAILWAY BRIDGE OVER TOE WYE.—The
site of this additional bridge will he a short distance below
theold one, and the staple material will be iron, the casings
of the piers being of th►t article; or rather the piers will be
formed of iron tubes 811. iup with concrete. The first ob-
key that attract the notice at pre Alt are the great and novel
works constructed for sinking la the ►jeer the east-iron piers,
the foundation of which is upon the tolid rock at the bottom
of the Wye. The piers on the land side are sir feet in dia-
meter, and t►o-e in the water eight feet. They are boltid
together la sections, and will he filled with concrete se soon
s• the workmen have excavated the rock and sand beneath the
iron rim, so as to ensue an equal foundation at the base.
On the top of them iron-cued Oars will be placed the road-
way ter currying the trains of the South Wales Railway over
the river to Gloucester ; bet whether it will be by a tube, or
by a partly-suspended medlars, the spectator has ao means
of ascertaining, except that a tube is being made similar to
that at the bridge over the Revers on the Gloucester and
Forest of Desn Hallway, and made of lugs Iron plates.
The greatest &Skull in this new construetloa at Chepstow
appears to he from the water pouring so fast into the iron
piers that it requires a large steam-engine to pump it
up, so es to usable the men to work under the iron, and
thereby secure a uniform and solid foundation. Hereford
