The Britannia Bridge across the Menai Straits was
opened in 1849, and. it was •not, therefore,

that in',Bs2 the directors should look td 'Air

Stephenson as the engineer Most competent to advise'
them. Mr. Stephenson considered the subject of so
much interest and importance, -that he determined'to

go out to Canala persOnally, for the purpos

of dealing
the end of

with it

He aceoidingly iepaired tiler

the summer of 1853, and after examining into the facts,
made a public declaration of his opinion, that a bridge
across the St.' Lawrence was practicable. Oh the 2nd
of May following, Mr. Stephenson addressed to the
Grand Trunk Railway directors a report, in which he
considered the whole question in three branches : first,
as to the description of bridge best calculated to prove
efficient and permanent ; second, as to the proper site ;
and thirdly, as to the necessity for such a structure.
Upon the first point he did not hesitate at once to
recommend the adoption of a tubular bridge, as the de-
scription of bridge best fitted for a permanent, safe, and
substantial structure in such a situation; on the second
point, he was not a little influenced by considerations

As Sir. sStephenson's view of the nature of these
forces, and the best mode of encountering them, has not
yet, that we are aware of, received publicity, it may be
interesting to place them upon record—especially as

we are enabled to do so with authority. Mi. Stephen-
son, on his arrival in Canada, met with numerous
alarmists, who could graphically describe to him the
effect of the ice, but he met with no one who had
in any way measured or calculated the amount of
its pressure. In considering the question whether a
bridge could be constructed to withstand that pressure,
it appeared to Mr. Stephenson to be of primary import-
ance to ascertain really and precisely what that pressure
was. This was a question of calculation ; though in
tke absence of any data, the difficulty was how to cal-
culate it. And here, before the reader proceeds further,
he may perhaps, not without advantage, pause for a
moment to ponder on the way to solve the problem—
what is the amount of the pressure of ice four or five
feet thick in a running stream of a certain inclination,
velocity, and breadtlq

Of course it was utterly impossible for the creditors,
who were unacquainted with 'thebankrupt's movements,
to have matters so arranged as to admit of their being,
represented at the meeting. Some of his creditors, how-
ever, attributed his disappearance from the south of
England to its proper reason, and instructed their agents
in Edinburgh to keep a sharp look-out for Pooley in the
Gazette. In due time be appeared in the list of bank-
rupts, and the Edinburgh agents at once communicated
the fact to their clients in England, with the necessary
instructions for insuring their representation at the
meeting, at the same time taking the proper measures
to procure an adjournment of the meeting, knowiim

Tie then assumed that the ice upon that river was what
they had told him it usually was, from four to five feet
thick. He then inquired into the condition of the river,
and he found that about nine miles above Montreal,
there was a fall called the fall of Lachine, which,
of course, separated the body of ice above the fall
from the body of ice below it. Taking these

the bankrupt, his locafagent, and Mr. Jas. Muir, actu-
ary in Edinburgh, who was of course elected trustee, and
who offered as his cautioner the bankrupt's Edinburgh

party held that no bridge whatever could stand against
it ; another, whilst admitting the difficulty to be formid-
able, thought timber casings or fenders, such as those
in use on the small rivers of Norway and elsewhere,
would be an efficient protection for the piers. The
proposal most forcibly impressed on Mr. Stephenson
was to protect his piers by wnat is called a "crib-work;"
that is to say, by large masses of timber in front of
the piers, crossed and weighted, and as thick or
thicker than the ice itself. It was evident, from the
first, that this extensive crib-work must be au.additional
obstacle and impediment to the free navigation of the
river, and to the passage.of the ice. But, beyond this,
Mr. Stephenson's calculations convinced him that
such a work would be entirely inadequate to pro-
tect such a structure as he contemplated,, in such a

THE DUTY OF THE CONSERVATIVE& Ilsr

In Paris, Lord Seymour was a 'great favourite with
the lovers of sport, whether on:the turf or in 'the field.
He was the means of introducing a manlier course of
exercise to thejuvenile aristocracy of that capital'; and,
considering the class of persons with *horn he delighted
.0 associate, he held a very high position with the lead-
ing men of the. French metropOlis. It is said he' has
left some very princely legacies to a number ot more
than questionable characters, and about seven millions;
of francs to the Paris Of Us- lordship's
character as a public man, little is known. He seemed;
to have no taste . for politics ; and as .to religion;
faith, whatever he possessed, was that of the
Italian rather than High Church. Some years
ago, a gentleman from the neighbonrhOod of
Belfast had occasion to ask a favour' of Lord 'Seymour.
He called at his lOrdship's residence, and was received
with 'great attention, his idea then being that, should
Lord Henry become heir of the Itertferd property, he
would be a good 'landlord. The late marquis did not
fully recognise Lord Seymour, and left some notice in
his will to that effect ; that point, however, is now set-
tled, without the intervention of a Chancery suit.
The early history of the Hertford estate has about it
much of that "truth" which the proverb tells us,
is " stranger than fiction." In those times of free and
easy morals, when Padhreen Alacphad, Redmond
O'Hanlon, and other worthies of the same class, per--
formed their feats of financial legerdeoain On the open.
highway, they were only following the excellent ex-
ample set them by the " higher orders," whose whole 7
sale confiscations of property proVed their affinity to
Barrabas of old as certainly as if, instead of concerting
their plans in cabinets, they had, with pistols and masks,.
Made their raids on the road.

. . .
Shortly after having received- his patent, the heir of.
the first presentee,. Sir Edward .Conway, an English
Secretary of State,, commenced the building of a hand-
some mansion at.Lisburn, where to the present day a
portion of the wall still remains. The marauding disposi-.
tion cultivated by the summary mode of transfeiTing
property in those days never, failed to show 'itself on all
possible occasions. A descendant of the former owner
of the 'estate having made a descent on Lisnagarvah in
1646, a son of Baron Conway led' on t3le English forces
against what was called the "rebel " 'army, -headed' by
Owen Roe O'Nial. Colonel Conway. routed the • " in-
Vaders,". and pursued. them to the county .Monaghan,
from whence, by way of compensation for hisjourney, he
brought off .1,200 cows, and 400 horses, and 1,000 sheep.
Had any of the Monaghan farmers from.whom the stock
was then taken attempted to , grumble .at ,the rapid
transfer, no doubt they would have been denounced as
rebels of the most desperate character. As the Conway
family had, howeVer, made themSclves Very 'popular
with the tenantry, the castle was always' open for all
guests; Jeremy Taylor, who resided in the vicinity of
Lisburn, having been a frequeut visitor' a:s well at the
castle there as at the one built by Baron Conway at Port
More. .

By a very romantic incident, the Conway estates fell
into the hands of a branch of the Seymour family during
the reign of 'William the Third, the first of the new
dynasty being a Colonel Seymour • who had held office as
Secretary of State in.England„and, on getting into pos-'
session of the Irish property, took the surname of Con-
way. From that date the successive proprietors became
partial absentees, the more recent heirs gradually ab-
solving themselves from all local symtiathy with the
estate and its people. There is not in the United King-
dom a finer property than that of the Marquis of Hert-
ford. The extent is nearly seventy thousand statute
acres, mountain and water included; the rental is about
fifty-six thousand a year of well-paid revenue. Very
serious complaints are made on the subject of leases for
building, which, it appeared, the late marquis, as well as
his father, were precluded from granting to their tenants:
The present marquis proposes to act on the privilege he
enjoys of granting building leases on perpetuity ;, and as,
with all his apparent apathy and indolence, he appears
quite an adept in the art of monetary accumulation,
much public good must result from an extended exercise
of the power of leasing, while large additions will be
made to the rent-roll.

Of course, where non-residence forms the sole rule of
baronial administration, the local government must be
carried on by an agent, who, in this case, is rather a
vice-landlord than the mere receiver of rents. From
1817, and up to a very recent period, when his son was
appointed to the situation, the Dean of Ross held the
sceptre of local power, and in his hands the estate has
undergone considerable improvements. In all the time
of his agency, the three successive owners of the estate
only paid one visit to it. Fifty-six thousand a-year is
regularly drawn from the estate, and sent to France, the
adopted home of the present proprietor. In this free
country, where liberty exists in such lusty strength, the
lord and the labourer are equally free to choose their
own places of residence ; and, if the noble marquis
wishes to dwell far away from the land that yields him
such a princely revenue, he has a perfect right to indulge
his fancy. Some equivalent, however, should be ren-
dered to make up for the evil effects of non-residence ;
and, so far as we can learn, this is a piece of patriotic
duty which Richard Earl of Yarmouth, Viscount Con-
way, Marquis of Hertford, has yet to put in practice.
