Description ofthe Cham Bridge orcr
the Straits Of NenoiS, North W0ies.-
The following description of the stu
pcndous chain bridge in North Vale, is
furnished by a friend, who has lately
received it IN letter from gentleman
now travelling iii England. Our friend
has alsop INTO our hands a drawing
taken on The spot.
The following is from notes taken du-
ring a recent tom in Wales, of this stu
pcudous structure, this miracle Of art,
this wodcrn colossus, which has alike eX-
cited the wonder Of the vulgar, and call
ed forth the admiration Of the learned
aud scientific and which bids fair TO
stand for agis an amazing monument OF
British ingonuity--nor could | but re-
fleet, that when death shall deprive our
country of the man whose consummatc
skill projected the work, he will have
nonccd OF any monument, for tits alrea-
DIV erected over the straits Of the Menai !;
but must apologize for this DEPRESSION,
as oulogv is but poor description how
ever, the morning being fine, | resolved
to see the CHAIN BHIpGE' before break
fast, and accordingly set out, on my
wav thither. | overlook a very intelli-
gent man, whom | found, after little
conversation, TO be one OF the under en-
eineers, and to whom owe my iniorma-
ton, as to the principles and admeas-
urcments of il.
On account Of the billy nature of the
ground on each side Of the straits, piers
of granite arc built on each side, which
make the road level with the country.
These piers, are built on arches OF -
feet span from high water mark TO the
spring ofeach arch is 65 feet: and lead
to the grand pillars from which the
chains arc suspended, IN massive, Yet
graceful fcstoons. These pillars tower
1872 feet above high water mark; through
them are eato-ways winch lead 10 the
carriage roads, 2 feet wide, l. high
there are two carriage roads each II feet
wide, and a foot path between them }
feet wide.
The chains, 10 in number, are IVA
feet in length, formed of links compos-
ed of five bars of wrought ron, 10 feet
long, , inches deep, and l-2 an uch
thick; these five bars are put side by
side, and riycted by bolts forming a
solid bar, of 10 feet long, 3 inches deep,
and 2l2 inches thick !: of these links
the chains are formed four Of which
chains form one great chain and these
four are so suspended, that tbe middle
of the upper links, fall on tie joints Of
those underneath. This is a doscrip-
ton of such links as hang from pillar to
pillar, a distance of 553 feet; those
from the pillars to the fastcnings, are RAJ
ther shorter and thicker i traced them,
to thc rocks where they arc fastened,

Can find another he flies.
But woman ne'cr fathlesS be,
She has sole dolatry-
One atar-stone for her is reared,

Aud sheds around such holy light
As makes cen dssolatou bright
And on her loved oue's brow of pain
Her tears fall like the summer rain
pom the scotcli' d and wiihering tlovcr
Too long deserted by the shower;
And brings again to life and boonr
The heart that sorrow would consume
