A memorial was presented to the City CounciS
last month in relation to the distractions to
crossing Portland Bridge in consequence Of the
making up of trains at the P. 8. & P. depot
The memorial was referred to joint special
committee, the Mayor at their head. Yester-
day afternoon the Directors of the Portland,
Saoo 8 Portsmouth Railroad Company and
some of the Directors of the Portland & Ken
nebes Railroad, together with the superintend-
snts of those roads, had hearing before the
committee in the Common Council Room
Gov. Goodwin, President of the p. g.. & p.
Railroad Company, stated the offer that had
been formerly made to give the city land for
street to the bridge back Of their present depot,
provided the present passage to the bridge
should be discontinued, and renewed the offer
on his part.
After An amicable discussion of the whole
matter, both parties being willing to acoommo-
date as far as possible, and thus remedy the
complaints existing, it was determined that
the railroad company should put their civil
engineer on the ground Immediately, and after
a careful survey the company should make
definite proposition to the city for discontinu-
ing the present passage to the bridge.

line formation was discovered. and
a heavy brine was drawn from the
well. It is believed the drill is now
entering region of sweet water,
but the salt SO impregnates it that,
from aspecimen we saw tested yes
terday, it contains z per cent. of
fine salt. The water is of blush
cast, and seems to hold no other
mineral in solution.
The stratum through which the
drill is working now, is called the
Potsdam sandstone of the New
York geology, which is the lowest
stratum of the lowest silurian
system.
There is one thing, if the well has
not effected the object for which it
was started, it has tended to make
known the strata of the earth and
rock lying beneath st. Louis, and
this is considered very satisfactory.

ordinary Depth Attained.

ordinary Depth Attained.
At about 10 A. NJ, yesterday, a
small party consisting of several
of the county judges, one or two
scientific men, and several members
of the press, went out to visit the
artesian well. The we'll has now
attained, we believe, a depth un-
precedented in wells of this charac-
ter. Ii was $3.50 feet below thesur
face yesterday morning, and the
work is still progressing as rapidly
as steam power, with well tempered
drills can overcome strata Of hard
rock.
The well is adjacent to the In
sane Asylum building, and the ma
chinery working the drills is driven
by an engine of 32-horse power,
and bearing pressure of so pounds
to the square inch. 1t is under the
superintendent Of Mr.. G. W. At
henson, a practical geologist.
As everybody knows, the work
on the well commenced on March
81, 1866, and men and steam have
been at it night and day since, Dor
| ing through various strata of rock
and earth, till they have succeeded
in making it one Of the deepest
wells in the world.
The drills are stout iron bars
edged with hard steel, well tempered
and ground from time to time. There
are six or seven of these always OF
hand to keep the machinery always
going. In addition to these there
are a large number of poles, eacf
334 feet long, with solid screw joints
for attaching the drill to. The dia
