THE NEW BATTEI?SEA PARK BRIDGE.

The piers, foundations, and fastenings of the suspension
bridge are now nearly completed. On each side of the
Thames strong brick walls, supported by piles and con-
',lrete, have been laid down at the edge of high water
mark, and some 50 or 60 feet further inwards piles have
been driven. faced by strong elm planks of two or three
inches thick in front, and supported by beds of concrete
several feet in width, depth, and height, for the purpose
of fastening the chains which are to support the bridge.
Those chains pass over, and are to be fixed to, the piers
erected at the river's edge, and will then be supported by
still higher and more solid piers constructed a few feet
further in the channel of the river than low water mark. To
enable the contractors to raise these latter piers, coffer
dams of great extent have been erected, which have been
protected and supported on each side by strong piles.
Within the coffer dams a bottom of concrete several feet
below the surface of the channel of the river, has been
laid down, and upon it a strong building of brick, stone,
and cement has been raised and nearly completed to the
intended height. On each side of the works are placed
several barges and pile-driving machines to break the
force of the current, and prevent craft of all descriptions
passing up and down the river from endangering the
works or becoming foul by coming in contact with them.
On either side huge masses of sand, stone, and other ma-
terials for making a strong and lasting connexion for the
bridge and the roadway approaches, have been accumu-
lated and are being adapted for that purpose, so as to
have, coincident with the finishing of the bridge, the ap-
proaches from Clapham, Brixton, and Wandsworth
ready on the one side, and those from Kensington,
Chelsea, and Pimlico on the other side. The chains will
weigh several thousand tons.

Pills have effected another wonderful Cure of a Bad Leg of
Seven Years' standing.—Extract of a letter from Mr. E. Pol-
lard, druggist, of 30, Catherine street, Devonport, dated May
19, 1852. "To Professor Holloway. Sir,—Mr. Blanker, of
Charlotte-street, New Passage, near Devonport, suffered
severely for mere than seven years from a wound in his leg.
He tried every remedy medical aid could devise, but in vain,
as it would not heal by their treatment. At length he had
recourse to your ointment and pills, which in the course of a
few weeks perfectly cured it and he is now in most excellent
health. --Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
DELICATE ATTENTIONS.—We understand that the
Earl of Fife has lately sent upwards of 20 sets of Parisian
fashions for the use of the ladies of Elgin. These have been
distributed among the dressmakers of the town, in terms of
his Lordship's request. A similar present has been made to
the ladies of Forres. We have no doubt our fair friends in
both burghs duly appreciate his Lordship's attention on this
and many put occulons.—,lnverne63 Couier,
