ON WIRE AS A MATERIAL FOR BUILDING SUS-
PENSION BElDGES.—Although the use of wire offers
some advantages, especially superior strength, bu!k for
bulk compared with bars, general opinion is not in
favour of its adoption, on account of the impossibility,
nearly, of adjusting the length of the wires, so that
when the cable has assumed its proper curvature, each
wire may bear its due proportion of strain, and because
of the increased liability to oxidate, in consequence of
the increased surface offered by wires to the action of
the atmosphere. It has been proposed that each wire
should be passed through a vessel of varnish imme-
diately after the process of drawing, and that, after
forming the wires into bundles of fifty or sixty etch,
they should be passed through a concave vessel of
oleaginous matter at a high temperature. By this pro-
cess it is supposed every particle of moisture would be
driven of in vapour, and its place occupied by the olea-
ginous substance in the interior of the cable, where it
ould be retained by its adhesive property, while it
would harden over the exterior, ar.d prevent oxiCation,
by" removing the possibility of moisture coming into
contact with the wire.— The Builder.

SUICIDE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF
DERRY.—By private letters received in town, we learn that
Dr. M'Loughlin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of. Derry, died on
Sunday from the etkct of a wound which he inflicted on his
throat with a razor on the previous Wednesday. The dis-
tressing fact was kept quite secret in Derry for two or three
days by his relatives, who were led to think by the medical
man in attendance upon him that the wound would not
prove mortal. It was said Dr. M'Loughlin was in a low state
of mind for some time ; but his friends never apprehended
that he would resort to violence upon himself.

THE CONVICT OCKER.—THE CONDEMNED SEE-
?stmt.—The convict Bucker attended Divine service ys s-
terday morning in the chapel of Newgate. The con-
demned sermon was preached in a most impressive
manner by the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary of the
prison, who took for his text the 6th verse of the 9th
chapter of Genesis—" Whosoever sheddeth man's blood
by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God
made he man." Rocker appeared perfectly collected
during the whole service, and joined in the responses,
and also in the singing of the Psalms. Ills response to
the commandment " Thou shalt do no murder," was pe-
culiarly clear and audible.

111 HE EMPTATIONS OF OFFICE.—Sir Culling
Eardley Smith stated at a public meeting last week, " The Bill
should not pass. There were, he knew, at least twelve men in
Parliament who would die on the floor of the House sooner than
it should pass into a law." As Sir Robert is not infallible,
he really should be protected from this new system of bribery.—
Punch.

IVIIITE FISHING.—We learn that the cod-fishing
on the west coast has been prosecuted with considerable
success this season, and the takes are still good. By our
latest accounts, 'the price of good fish was 17/. 10s.
per ton. An instance of rather novel sport occurred,
in connexion with this fishing, a few days ago. As
a party were sailing in a passage boat round one
of the Applecrosa headlands, they discovered a shoal of
cod on the sand in two fathoms of water. The boat con-
tained, amongst other things, a gaff hook and a fresh herring.
The latter was attached to the end of the painter; and after
havingbeen lowered amongst the cod, it was gently raised
to the surface. On each occasion the bait was followed by
one of the voracious fish, which was instantly gaffed and
taken into the boat.—lnverness Courier.
BRISTOL SUGAR 'MARIC ET, APRIL 25.—We con-
tinue to experience a very good demand for all descrip-
tions of raw sugar, and a large business has again
been done at full grices. Refined goods are much
wanted, as the supply is exhausted, and the refiners
have sold on pro-forward delivery. Standard lumps are
worth 70s. Treacle very scarce, and sale about 19s. to
20s. per cwt.—Bristol Mei curt'.
The saving between driving a sheep to the London
market from Lincolnshire, and conveying it by steam-
boat or railway, is proved to be no loss than 10 lor
