stated by his friends in excellent health. Following the
instructions of his medical advisers, his Lordship has been

to be so beneficial in the country.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—On Thursday the
last arch of the Ouse Viaduct, on the London and
Brighton Railway, was keyed by Mr. Maude, the resident
engineer of the centre district of the railway, in the pre-
sence of the parties engaged on the work, together with
a considerable number of visitors from Brighton and
Lewes. The viaduct is built for the purpose of carrying
the railway over the valley through which flows the river
Ouse, and near the spot whore that river becomes navi-
gable. It is about two miles and a half from Hayward's '
Heath, and twenty from Brighton. The viaduct consis's
of two abutments and 37 semicircular arches, of a 40. feet
span, and varying in height from 48 to 96 feet. The en-
tire length of the viaduct is 1,475 feet, or rather more than
a quarter of a mile, and the width of the railway is 2$
feet. Upwards of eleven millions of bricks, made from
the soil of the neighbourhood, have been used in the struc-
ture, independently of about 400,000 feet of masonry, in
the foundation and elsewhere. The first stone was laid
in the middle of May last year, so that this stupendous
undertaking has been completed in about eighteen months.
Most satisfactory accounts continue to reach us of the pro-
gress of the works throughout the line.—Brightest
