The Mysterious Power of the Magnet is most beautifully
develciped by Mr. F. M. HERRING, of 32, Basinghall-street,
in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which are the
remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous
headache, rheumatism, stiff joints, &c. His Teazle Brushes
for cloth, velvet, &c., are admirable ; they not only cleanse
but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner. The public
are cautioned against counterfeits. Diorr.l
DVERTISEMENT I— Holloway's Pills and Ointment.
alpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—These
distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion, or a
relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be thoroughly
overcome by a course of these corrective Pills. When the
throbbing of the heart and feeling of suffocation harass the
patient Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed twice
a-day over the pit of the stomach and right side. It will
soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all anxiety
and every unfavourable symptom will be mitigated. The
use of the medicines should not be discontinued until the
patient has been for some time free from palpitation, which
is ever apt to return if not radically cured.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TrEsDA.Y.
There is little change in the St. Leger betting. 4to 1
was taken about the Wizard, and 4 to 1 would have been
taken against Thormanby, and although that price was
offered yesterday, to-day the highest offer was 7to 2. The
acceptances for the Great Ebor handicap not being out,
speculation upon it was not very brisk, but a fair amount
of money was put upon the horses quoted below. Closing

VICTORIA AND PIMLICO RAILWAY.
The works on this station and railway are rapidly
approaching completion, Although the line is only
about one mile and a quarter in length, consists of
numerous works of art, some of them of consider-
able magnitude, particularly as compered with the
length of the line. The Victoria station is situated
at the end of Victoria-street, about a quarter of a
mile from Buckingham Palace. The ground upon
which the temporary station buildings are now
being rapidly erected was formerly occupied by
the basin of the Grosvenor Canal, and covers'
about 101 acres. This space is divided in the
centre, one half being appropriated to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company,
and the other half to the London, Chatham, and
Dover, and the Great Western Railway Com-
panies joinily, and for which purpose the mixed
gauge has been laid not only on this portion of the
station, but over the main line. The Brighton sta-
tion covers about five and a quarter acres, having
eight arrival and departure platforms of considerable
length, and capable of accommodating a very large
traffic.
From this very extensive double station various
lines diverge, by means of numerous switches and
points to the main line, which is constructed on the
mixed gauge. It passes under the Belgrave-road,
which is carried over the railway by means of the
Eccleston-bridge, of five openings, composed of
wrought iron girders, supported on pillars, and
extending 235 feet over the railway. The line
from the station is nearly level; following the course
of the Grosvenor Canal, and enclosed by well con-
structed high walls, and covered over by a light
iron and glass roof for an extent of about
half a mile. This has been done with a view to
protect Mr. Cubitt's property, through which the
line passes, from the noise of the trains, and, as a
further precaution to prevent noise on this portion
of the line, thick sheets of vulcanised indiarubber
are placed between the rails and the longitudinal
sleepers. Emerging from the roofed portion of the
line near the iron bridge which carries Ebury-road
over the railway, a rising gradient of 1 in 64 com-
mences, and with some curves brings the line to the
level of the carriage-Way of a very handsome and
substantial wrought iron bridge over the Thames.
The railway from the south end of the bridge de-
scends by a gradient of 1 in 60 to the junctions at
Battersea with the West-end and Crystal Palace
Railway on the one hand, and the West London
Extension Railway on the other, and over
which the broad-gauge trains will pass too
and from the Great Western Railway.
The chief work on the line is the bridge over the
Thames, and this, from its peculiar construction and
the rapidity with which the works have been exe-
cuted, deserves some notice. This bridge, which
carries the railway over the river, including the
land openings, extends 920 feet in length, and con-
sists of two stone abutments at each side of the
river, and three piers in the river, supporting four
arched spans of 175 feet each. There are two land
openings of 70 feet span, one at each end of the
bridge, carrying the railway at a height of 16 feet
over the road on the bridge over the Thames. The
height above Trinity high water to the under side
of each arch is 22 feet, and to the springing of each
arch 4 feet 6 inches, making the rise of the arch 17
feet 6 inches, or one-tenth of the span. The total
cost of the bridge will be about £90,000, or £3 per
square foot.

Tke strength of the bridge was carefully tested
about a fortnight ago by means of locomotive en-
gines and loaded trucks, weighing together 350
tons, being equal to one ton per lineal foot on each
rail. The load was placed over each opening, and
also partly on the piers and openings. The deflec-
tions were observed at re'mlar intervals, shewing a
gradual decrease from the centre of the openings
to the piers, as might have been expected. The
greatest deflection observed on the centre of the
two middle openings of the bridge was one inch
and one-fifth, and the greatest deflection on the two
other openings was 0.94 of an inch. When the
load was removed the bridge again resumed its
original level, so that no permanent set was pro-
duced. Afterwards the load was placed partly on
one arch and partly on the next, the pier being in
the middle, and in that position the deflection was
very small. The trains were then run over the
bridge, but no greater deflection was observed, and
no permanent set was produced.
The numerous observations at the various points
on the bridge, from their great uniformity as re-
garded their position in respect. of the piers and
openings, showed how carefully every part of the
work was construJted so as to bear its full share of
the load. It is expected that the railway and sta-
tion will be opened for public traffic some time
during the present month.
