TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIRES.

Sir,—l.think it only fair tcjinlorin you that the plan
of turning the Grosvenor Canal (Punlico) into a railway
originated with me, and that I was the first pereon to
perceive, and point out t mice to the managers of the
Cry,t,l Palace, the extraordinary advantages which this
canal presented I,r this undertaking.
I also called their attention to the very important fact,
and which is so highly recommendatory of the plan, that
a!1 those purposes fur which the canal was designed
wr,uld be even more convenien'ly gained by a railway,
and all the evils to the neighbourhood from dampness-and
exhalation entirely rern,ivcd.—l am, &c , W. P.

of the samples was good.
The Foreign wheat was held at very full prices ; bat the
inquiry for it was by no means active. Inferior samples
met a slow sale.

THE ItuYAL ALBERT BRIDGE.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.
The enormous iron tube, which, with the rail at-
tached, weighed 1,100 tons, was this afternoon, at
1 o'clock, successfully floated by Mr. Brunel, from
the Devon aide of the Tamar. Shortly after three
o'clock one end was safely lodged on the Cornish
side and the other on the pier in the centre of the
river. The rail is now five feet above high water,
but will be 102 feet 6 inches when lifted by hydrau-
lic power 3 feet at a time at either end.
The arched tube is 474 feet long, and the railway
450 feet.
The erection of a similar tube on the Devon side
will finish the most important engineering work for
uniting Cornwall with Plymouth, Bristol, and Lon-
don by the Great Western Hallway to London.
Mr. Michael Williams, chairman of the Cornwall
line, and Captain Harrison, of the Great Eastern
steamship, were with Mr. Brunel. The Port-Ad-
miral and Admiral Superintendent were in their
barges ; and, the Royal Arsenal being closed and ,
the weather fine, an immense concourse assembled,
and hailed with delight the complete success oftlar
important undertaking.

ON STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA :
its PATHOLOGY and RATIONAL TREATMENT. Mus-
trated by numerous Cases selected from the Records of upwards of
Twenty Years' extensive and successful Practice, and which embrace
every variety of Urethral Contraction, together with appropriate

By F. B. COURTENAY,

H. Bailllere, 219, Regent-street.

We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if It has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose
care we would sooner intrust the treatment of a severe case of strip-
ture."—Medical Circular.

CIRCASSIA.

Reliable advices have been received from Tiflis,
the Russian seat of Government in the Caucasus,
that Schamyl still holds 11 out of the 12 block-
houses which he took from the Russians at the be-
ginning of the month of June. General Aghalar
be.siegedthe blockhouse Ciokalesi for a fortnight, but
his troops were attacked one dark night by a strong
detachment of mountaineers under the command of
the Naib (Lieutenant or Stadtholder), Hadji Aukar
and completely routed. The Naib took nine guns
and 200 prisoners. General Aghalar was severely
wounded. Another Russian detachment, which
had been sent to besiege d'Arli (Darli ?), was at-
tacked in the rear by Daniel Sultan (Schamyl's
principal Naib), and defeated. The Tschetscherius
made 400 prisoners. The successes of Schamyl
have created an unpleasant sensation at TAUS, and
210,000 troop of the line are about to be sent
a.i4 a reinforcement to the Russian army of opera-
Eon. It is said that the Governor-General intends
tc take the command of the next expedition against
Sehamyl.

MURDEROUS OUTBREAK OF FANATICISM.

The following letter, dated 25th Aug., has been
received from A'giers:—

On Saturday last, about half past 4 in the after-
noon, the quarter of Algiers comprised between
Medea-street and Lyle-strtet was the scone of a
most tragic occurrence.
A native, twenty years of age, named Soliman
Ben Mohamed, a journeyman, born in the Bouza-
reah, rushed out of Crane-street, where he resided,
and, armed with an iron-shod stick, a perfect and
most formidable club, attacked every Israelite
man, woman, and child, whom he met on his way.
It was the Sabbath-day, and at the hour when
Jewish wives and daughters, decked out in their
richest attire, stand in front of their houses. At
them alono, and the men of their race, Soliman
aimed his blows, paying no atlention (which is re-
markable) to the Spanish or French wive; and
daughts that inhabit this very populous distrct.
Running onwards like a raging madman, he
struck with his club a man named Nouchi,
a

dealer in cattle, who, receiving a blow on the
headsix married or , was conveyed to the city hospital, where he
afterwordsexpired. The Arab next wounded

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.
The enormous iron tube, which, with the. rail at-
tached, weighed 1,100 tons, was this afternoon at
1 o'ciock, successfully floated by Mr. Brunel from
the Devon side of the Tamar. Shortly after three
o'clock one end was safely lodged on the Cornish
side and the other on the pier in the centre of the
river. The rail is now five feet above high water,
but will be 102 feet 6 inches when lifted by hydrau-
lic power 3 feet at a time at either end.
The arched tube is 474 feet long, and the railway
450 feet.
The erection of a similar tube on the Devon side
will finish the most important engineering work for
uniting Cornwall with Plymouth, ]iris' 01, and Lou-
don by the Great Western Railway to London.
Mr. Michael Williams, chairman of the Cornwall
line, and Captain Harrison, of the Great Eastern
steamship, were with Mr. Brunel. The Port-Ad-
