ABZ,IDENN, AUG. 31.

On Thnrfday the key-hone of the magnificent arch
over the valley at Denburn, in the line of Union.l
meet, was put in, in pretence of the Proved', Magic j
trues, and Trances for executing the public im•
provements of the city. The Marquis of Huorsr
did them the honour to witnefs the ceremony. This
Qupendous arch, both in its defign and execution, is
an honour to the town, and is unequalled it any
part of the united kingdom. The defign is by Mr.
Fletcher. It is built entirely of Aberdeen granite,
and fanithes an additional proof of the excellency
of this Rome, that it is capable of fußaining the enor-
mous prefure of an arch of this extent. It is 530
feet fpan, and the arch fifes only 29 feet from the
fpring. The breadth of the bridge is 44 feet. The
arch (tones arc from 3.t to five feet deep ; and the
whole weight of materials in the arch alone is not lefs
than 2000 tons. The expedition with which this
work was completed was i matter of aftonithment
every one who witneffecl its progrefs. The piers were
founded in the month of March. Mr. Ross did not
begin to throw the arch till the 23d of July, and he
had the credit of finifbing it on the 25th of Auguß.
We hear from Deefide, that fome days ago, the
lightning Rruck a houfe in the parith of Dorris, tore
the %hoe from a man'► foot, and fcorched his leg-a
good deal; it alto knocked down his wife, broke
every window in the houfe, and carried away part of
the gable. The people foon recovered.
