of the lecturer regarding atmospheric pressure is
correct cork floats by the law of gravity, because
il cannot displace quantity of water equal TO its
bulk. Any body floating in water is equally pressed
on all sides by the atmosphere, but unequaly pressed
by the weight of the water. The weight OF
the atmosphere undergoes slight variations,
its average pressure being nearly 10 pounds per
square inch, or about 1900 pounds on every square

cylinders were placed against each other with an air

EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
To the Editor of the Tribune.

10 the Editor Of the Tribune
SIR: In your issue of Saturday, Feb. 6, under the
above head, notice statement in reference to the
estimated cost of this work. which is at variance
with the facts of the case, as they understood
here, and if not corrected, would tend to mislead
such as have not examined the subject. You quote
from an article in The Brooklyn Union of Oct T. 1857
wherein | estimate my plan of crossing the East
River at s4750OOO. Mr.. Roebling's estimate of his
plan being s6.675,S57 / have added: Estimated
COST in round numbers, t5OO0,OOO and 100000"
In the same column of the article from which you
nave quoted you will see it stated by follows:
IL Will be perceived that the dimensions of the
lowers approaches, and anchorage and the total
length of the bridge, on the plan of Mr. r., is so
greatly IN excess (of mne to account fully for the
estimate es Innate OF his work being the larger by some
$2OO0.OOO This is exclusive Of land damages
Justice both to Mr. ROebling and myself. requires
that the impression should not obtain that have
estimated his plan of bridge at 100000, being more
than quarter OF a mile longer than mine, the sus-
pended portion being longer. and the width of the
whole structure being more than twice as great as
mine. My estimates were confined to my own pro-
ject That the public may understand that this
question OF cost &c. will receive all the attention
which its importance demands it will be sufficient to
state that the East River Bridge Co. have invited
Board of Engineers including of the Oldest and
most experienced in our country, to examine their
plans in detail and report upon them when we may
reasonably expect some light upon this much vexed
question. i cannot allow this opportunity to pass
without a reference to the action of some members
of the Chamber of Commerce, who asserting
that suspension bridge of 140 feet in hight above
the water is an obstacle to navigation and COM
merce, yet favor strongly the construction of two
solid causeways or dikes across the river But the
project is fraught with too much uncertainty, both
in reference to the effect of such work the regi-
men of the harbor and It's cost ever to be seriously
entertained The agitation of the question, however.
just at this time is unfortunate, as 1T tends to unset
tie the minds of such ignorant of the merit OF
the principle involved and weaken their faith in the
only feasible method by which uninterrupted ara
free communication between the cities can be eff
fected grand scale, and without detriment to
the true commercial interests of the port
