In the course of carrying out large
dredging and other works for the inn
provement of the Trent navigation.
which connects Hull, Grimsby, and
GOOle by water with Birmingham.
and the Midland Canal system, a most
interesting discovery has been made.
The works 10 progress, between the
villages of Collingham and Cromwell,
north of Newark, include large
amount of dredging, and it was dur
ing this operation that the workmen
came across the pier of an old wooden
bridge. About 40 feet or so closer to
the north bank another Of similar APP
pearance was found, and il is presum-
ed there are SIX or seven of these piers
forming the whole bridge. Mr. Rolfe,
G. E., the engineer IN chief, had the
two piers which INSTRUCTED the navig-
able channel blown up with dyna-
mite. In three hours eight charges
of dynamite, judiciously disposed,
completely wrecked the remains Of a
work which has withstood the action
OF weather and water for sixteen CEN
turtles, and over which many hard
contested struggle has taken place, as
is SHOWN by the numerous human
skulls and bones which have been
dredged out. A portion of the wood
and stone work was afterward recov-
cred, and excavations are to be made
with.a view to finding and preserving
another of the remaining piers. From
observations made previous to the
blasting, it appeared that the fouuda-
tisns were formed of wood set in
ancaster, or somewhat similar stone {;
the oak walings and balks were black
and hard, and mostly in good condi-
ton; the walings were tied across
through large center balk by Tie
pieces of woods, having octagonal
heads, through which wedges had
evidently been driven to keep the
structure together. There is room for
doubt whether any similar structure
of wood now remains iusuch complete
preservation, although in Rome itself
some traces of a wooden bridge, sup
posed to be either the Pons Aemllius
or the Pons Sublicius, have oeen seen
in the Tiber, but they do not appear
10 have been distinctly recognizable.
The bridge now traced can only be
fixed upon as adjacent to the station
AID Pontem by the supposition that
Crocolana and AID Pontem have been
accidently transposcd in the Tier of
Antoninus. The bridge was probably
a connecting link between the district
of Llnduni and Crocolana and the
station Ultra Trehentam Cad Pontem,
or some other) on the way northward.

DEAR LORD PURPLEToN-I was so

wrenged in reference to my
recent mishap, that hunted up Mr..
de Rosilia in London. 1t is true that
he one day made to her, half in Just
and half III earnest, the unamiable
suggestion of shooting me (of course,
he meant in dueD, perceived as he
declares, that she was wounded by
my GOODNESS. But Miss Hawthorne
naturally paid no attention to such
wild talk. When the accident hap.
pened-for it was an accident pure
and simple-the coincidence caused
Miss Fawthorpe great deal of I'M
necessary distress of mind.
Under these circumstances | felt
that | could not do less than assure
the young lady by word of mouth of
my conviction of her entire innocence.
With that view, / followed her and
her parents to this place, where have
had the happiness to learn from her
own lips that she has always recipro-
Gated my sentiment toward her. You
will, therefore, not be surprised to
hear that she has consented to be my
wife, and think the news will be a
conclusive answer to idle and un.
charitable gossip.
With our united kind regards to
you and Lady Purpleton, believe me,
yours truly. K. FERRIS.
