whole, Is remarkably striking. We here also ob.ained the
first view of flee greet vi-eluct over the Almond, the
most remarkable work in the whole line, and which being
seen here ie a very oblique angle, w.th its numerous aches
greatly fore-shortened, preseetts a singular, but not less sttik-
ing and pleasing, appearance. This werk, which hems ettch a
striking object, as seen horn the CL seow ro id, about eight
miles 11,1/1 Edinburgh, forms in itself a vast undertaking, con-
sisting of no fewer than thirty-six continuous arches, each fifty
feet epee, and rising from sixty to eighty-five feet above the
surface of the valley, besities seven arches more at the turn-
pike road, separated from the others by a ride of higher
ground, and an embankment 'the great magnitude of this
work, second almost to none, even in Englend ; the extraor-
dine, y number of the arches, and theirlight and lofty appe aranee
and symmetry, all combine to renderthis a very magnificent and
imposing structure, and quite an ornament to the district and
lwenery around it. The work under Messrs.. Gibb and Son is
proceeding with great rapidity, and with all the advantages
from the improved machinery which they have contrived for
bringing forward the materials, and laying the stones of the
different arches in their planes. The pets have been all long
since carried up. as well as all the arches of the smaller via-
duct, and of the great viaduct twenty-seven arches were
thrown, and they were going on at the rate of four arches
per month, an that a very short period will be required to
bring the work to a termination. We have just yisi' Ed this vialuct
again, and everything confirms the above anticipation, thirty-
three out of the thirty-six arches are now thrown, and by the
middle of this month the whole of the remaining arches will
lie finished, the key-stone of the last arch being proposed to
be laid on the 18th, and nothing will then remain hut to bring
forward the superstructure of walls and parapets, already ad-
vanced to the 28th arch, and the word will be ready for the
laying down of the permanent rails.
Between the valley of the Almond and the city, the country
being pretty level, there are no works ef any Funicular magni
tude to retard the completion of the railway. The cent. 's
for tie line here have been taken by .11r. Evans, a highly
respectable coetractor from England, and who has executed
with success exten-ive contracts on some of the great English
railways. He is now pushing on the different work-i with
great am ivity. The bridges across the deferent highways are
many of them in a very forward state. The bridge over the
Water of Leith, the pr ncipal work of masonry, is all but com-
pleted. '1 he ler.g embankment through the valley of the
Water of Leith hes now essumed, as seen from the Toad, quite
a finished appearance, and the rest of the embankmeets and
excavations are rapidly advancing, relays of men being occu-
pied day and night, aided by a locometives engine, which may
now be seen near Corstorphine, constantly plying along the
line with its load of earth waggons-
Suah is the forward state of the works on the eastern division
of this raiiwa3, and we understand the. on the west they are
advancing with equal ener.iv, and there are only one or two
points where any particular difficulty or delay is likely to
occur, parricuLriy the Croy leek coating, where a mass of
hard whin stm.e, tifiy or sat), feet deep, still remains to ! e
excavated for a very short distance. On the whole, however,
when we consider the ve:st extent and magnitude of the
works which have been executed from end to end of this line,
and the short period which has elapsed since the ettn-
mencement, the progress which ha, been made is truly
remarkable, arid there can now he very little reason ter doubt
that, in the course of three months, the whole Ine will be
opened to the public. An hour anti a half and two hours
wi 1 then be the regular times of travelling betwet.n Fein-
burgh and Glasgow, and the expense, ee believe, Kill mit ex-
ceed from 4s. to Bs. by the different classes of carriages.
These are the results. to which all the operations and works
above described ate bast nieg ; and when we consoler the
advantages which must arise to both cities, and to Scotland
generally, fom such new and extraerdin .1 y tad ities of inter=
course, and all the effects which usually follow in the triiti of
eeeh imp? ovements, the opening of this rade ay eat not but be
viewed as an event of no oruinary interest and ietportanee.
