INTERESVING OPERATION.—We have much plea-
' sure in bringing to the notice of our readers a successful ap-
plication of science in restoring to a perpendicular position
the north wall of Market-Weston Church, in this county.
The church is supposed to have been erected in the fourteenth
century. In 1630 it was injured by lightning, and again, ten
years since, it was much shattered by a thunder-storm. The
time had now, arrived when it became necessary to effect a
perfect restoration, as from' age and the above-mentioned
casualties the Borth wall had declined outwardly nineteen
inches from the perpendicular, and threatened the utter
destruction of the building. Under the superintendence of
our able architect, Mr. Cottingham, this wall (the weight of
which had been calculated at 240 tons) has been brought up
to the perpendicular, by the process of expanding, by heat,
three bars of iron, 2A inches in diameter, which traversed
and connected both walls of the church. These bars (Which
had screws worked On one end, of them and projected
beyond the south wall). were enclosed in cast-iron boxes
filled with lighted charcoal. When the bars were fully, ex-
panded by the heat, the screws were wound up firmly to the'
undamaged south wall. The charcoal. -boxes were then re-
moved, and the process of cooling commenced. Gradually
the bars contracting equally with' their previous expansion,
compelled the whole mass of the wall to' follow the irresistible'
power new exerting itself, and in ,four successive operations
the whole wall rose to its original perpendicular. The whole
operation does infinite credit to Mr. Cottingham. Much
commendation is also due to- Mr. Reed, of lxworth, who so
ably followed out his directions, as' well as to the zealous and
intelligent-workmen who brought: o a successful termination
this beautiful but simple process. Several of the surrounding
families assembled at IN eston Church, on Monday last, to
witness the completion of this novel operation, the only in-
stance of which-has been, we understand, at the Cathedral
of Armagh, under the superintendence of the same architect.
We would earnestly hope that a similar public-spirited feel-
Int may be,awakened in the breasts of proprietors of estates
in otherpar,fahis, where the sacre4,44co rsui. rep ration,
to has been shown by the principal landowner of Market
Welton (Mr. J. Thurston) on this occasion.—Bury .Post.
