The Victoria Tubular Bridge.

Our own continent now possesses in compile
ton one Of the wonders of the world in con
structive art. The tubular iron bridge over
the Menai Straits. was designed and erected
by the late Stevenson, and led to the construc-
ton Of the Victoria, bridge, at Montreal, which
is now after several years Of assiduous labor,
completed and will be thrown open for contiuu-
GUS use or the 18th inst The irStlocomotiye
passed over it on the l4th of Nov, conveying
about fifty persons, among whom were two
ladies. The company consisted otherwise Of
officers, directors 'ahd engineers, with q few
distinguished gentlemen. With cheers, three
times three, for the thrice royal lady whose
name the wonderful structure bears, the train
touched the southern shore Of the St. Law
renee After other rejoicing5, Gcd save the
Queen" was sung in English and French the
Hon. Mr.. Cartier, prime minister OF Canada,
who was present, leading the national hymn
with much spirit. The Victoria bridge, as is
generally known, is composed Of plates Of iron,
riveted together in the form Of tubes, p feet
high by g feet broad. There are "a of these
tubes, each 242 feet long except the central
one, which is 339 feet making in oil Gl33 feet
or almost mile and an eighth. These tubes
rest upon piers, which are 80 feet long at the
base, and 33 feet at the top. tie upstream
side being wedge shape to divide the ice in
the winter. The abutmeuts a. either end are
$50 feet long, and with the piers they consti-
tute the most extraordinary work Of masonry
of modern times. The tubes are sixty feet
above summer water-leyeI, and the river
steamers pass under the central one The en-
tire weight of the iron is 5000 tons. The con
traction il length of each tube by the extreme
cold Of a Canadian winter is - inches tho
ends of the tubes being placed upon rollers to
allow freedom for this variation. There is no
wcod used except string pieces for the rail-, aud
q harrow side walk for the passage OF en-
poyees Every plate was prepared and even
punched, before being brought to the ground ;
and so great was the scientific nicely of the
calculations. that it was found, on taking away
the Scatfoldug upon which the tubes were laid
that they settled precisely as much as was est
mated, which if we mistake not was about
- inches in the centre. The cost Of the
work is 81, ,500,0 600, and It belongs to Grand
Trunk Rail Road, which presents now ole the
largest continuous lines III the world, being
about 1000 miles

Princess Alexandriua Of Bavaria, whl led mad
from over-cleanliness. It began by extreme

A. CHRISTMAS HYMN.
BY ALFRED DoMETT.

BY ALFRED DoMETT.
It was the calm and silent night
Seven hundred years and fifty-three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
And now was queen of land and sea.
No sound was heard of clashing wars
Peace brooded DER the hus'd domain:
Apollo, Pallas, Jove, and Mars,
Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago,
Twas in the calm and silent night,
The senator OF naughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariot's fight,
From lordly revel rolling home
Triumphal arches cleaning swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless sway;
What rocked the Roman what befell
A paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight
Centuries ago?
Within that province far away,
Went plodding home weary boor;
A streak of light before him lay,
Fallen through half shut stable-door
~iGIoSo MS paLhs lAN psAp1NN iNA AAAe'oAA@
Told what was going on within;
How keen the stars, his only thought
The air, how calm, and cold, and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
Oh, strange Indifference low and high
Drowsed over common joys and cares;
The earth was stll-but knew not why
The world was listeng unawares,
How calm a moment may.precede
One that shall thrill the world forever!
To that still moment none would heed,
Mans doom was linked no more to sever,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
1t is the calm and solemn night!
A thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness-charmed and holy now!
The night that first no shame had worn,
yo it a happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, newborn.
The peaceful Prince OF earth and heaven,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
