ERUDITio/4.—Eruditiori is excellent when managed
by good sense. But how often does it only increase a man's
natural fund of nonsense ? What do you say to the scholastic
question, Si Dna feit qua non scimitar ? Hobbes said, that if
he had read so much as the eruditi, he should have been as
ignorant as they.

MELSOSE CHAIN BRIDGE.—This bridge, which
for some time past has been erecting across the Tweed, at Mel-
rose, has just been completed, and is now open to thelitiblir. It
has been built by private subscription, and is intended to form a
communication from Melroes to the village of Gattonside, and the
surrounding country on that side of the Tweed. It is a very
handsome structure, and forms altogether a new and interesting
feature in the scenery of the vale of Melrose. It is chiefly in-
tended for foot passengers, although it is also calculated to
admit horses. The span or distance between the centres of
the suspension pillars is , three hundred feet, and the depth of
the arch is seventeen feet. The reintway is four and 11-half feet
wide, and at the centre is elevated 19 feet above the surface of
the water in the river in its loWest state, and fully eight feet above
the level of the highest floods. The road way rises three feet from
the sides of the centre in the form of an arch, which harmonises
well with the reverse curve of the chains hanging down from
above. The suspending pillars are of hewn stone, 38 feet in height
above low water, and 24, feet above the roadway. They are 'solid
above, and the passage from the roadway is formed by a Gothic
arch through the lower part of them, four feet six inches wide,
and twelve feet high. The
