lttlfJ SaTiirry. A TRIP TO THE SUSPENSION nmnGF. &c ( Continued from our I.ast.) The whole surface of the bridge is in length 1,0000 feet, of which the part immediately depen- dent upon the chains is .OHO feet, the remaining distance, being supported by seven arahes, four on one side andthrce on the other, which fill up the distance from the main piers to the shore. These min piers rise above the level of the road 50 feet, and through them, two archways, each 12 feet wide, admit a passage. Over the top of these piers, four rows of chains, the extremities of which are firmly secured in the rocks at each end of the bridge, are ,own; two of them nearly in the cen- tre, about four feet apart, and one at each side.— To these chains, thus distrihuted, that the tvo car riaire ways are supported by two chains indepen- dent of the other, whilst the foot-path lies between them, rods of iron are appended, by which the bars, forming the foundation of the road are sup- ported; the ro,ls of course varying in length ac cording to the bend of the chains. The floor of the road is formed of Jogs of wood, well covered with pitch, and then strewn over with gra- nite broken very small, forming a solid body by its adhesion to the pitch impervious to the wet.— A light lattice work of wrought iron to the height of about six feet, prevents the possibility of acci- dents by falling over, and allows a clear view of the scenery on both sides, which can be seen to great advantage from this height. Having exprcs- sed our admiration of the skill evident in the con- struction, at once so simple and so useful, and hav- ing satisfied our curiosity oil the top, we descended by a preciptous path to the level of the water, and gazed upwards with wonder, at the immense flat surface above us, and its connecting gigantic arches. The road is 100 feet above high water, and the arches spring at the height of no feet from abutments of solid masonry, with a span of 26 feet These abutments taper gradually from their base to where the areh cmnmcnees, and im- mense masses as they are, show no appearance of heaviness indeed taking the whole of the Menai Bridge together, a more perfect union of beauty with utility cannot be conceived. It has been erected to bear a weight upon the chains of 2,000 tons; the whole weight at present imposed is only 500, leaving an available strength of 1,500 tons; so that there is an easy remedy for a complaint which has been made of its too great vibration in a gale of wind, by laying additional weight upon it. The granite of whieh the piers and arches are built, is a species of marble, admitting a very high polish; of this the peasantry in the neighbourhood avail themselves, and everyone has some specimen of polished marble ready to offer the tourist. There is so much magnificence, beauty, and elegance, in this grand work of art, that it harmonizes and ae coids perfectly with the natural scenery around, and though itself an object of admiration, still in connection it heightens the efl'ect of the general view. Our boat had been some time waiting for us at the foot of the bridge, and the sun was fast sink- ing below the horizon. We had been delayed too long by our survey of the bridge, and our boatmen tohl us we should find considerable difficulty in one part of the passage from the state of the tide; we however were not to bo daunted, got into the boat and went on. A niore lovely evening cannot be conceived; the last rays of the sun gilded the bl ight clear waters, and not a breath of air disturb- etl the calm and tranquil scene around us. Our rowers made rapid progress for a distance, but we soon found ourselves opposed by a strong current, which at last became too powerful for oars to overcome; they therefore landed, and fixing a rope to the boat, towed us along with no little ex- ertion. In this way we proceeded about a mile, occasionally in fear of being upset by the violence of the water, whieh foamed and boiled around us with terrible vehemence, This pasage is called the Swellies a number of rocks obstruct the current of the tide, and cause when approaching to low water, the danger and difficulty of navigation to which we were now witnesses. Had we fully known this before we should not have ventnred, but our boatmen pulled us safely through, and we were then glad that we had seen the passage as we did. When the tide is in, the rocks are co- vered and the water calm above and below. We soon got again in motion when our boatmen re- sumed their oars, and proceeded rapidly along.— The Column, erected in honour of the Marquis of Anglesey, on an eminence to the right of the Straits, forms a c nspicuous object; whilst a little further Oil, the woods and honse of Plas New.nlt!, the scat of the Marquis, arId beauty and ornament to the scene. A continued succession of pleasing views present themselves, all the way up the Straits, and although the shades of evening were drawing in too close to allow us a clear sight of distant ob- jects, the immediate banks of the Menai were of themselves sullieiellt to delight as. We procured at a house close to the water's edge some porter for our rowers, who pulled away afterwards with redoubled vigour, until we came in sight of Car- narvon. The moon burst from behind a hill which had previously hid it fom us, just as we reachcrj the wall; we glided swiftly along at the base of the" moot lit towers," aud without being hailed either bv friend or foe, landed at tho foot of the Castle, alittle. past eleven n'eloek- It had been the day of election and the member who was re- turl1",1 to parliament had been chaired round the towii the gate way had been in consequence hung with laurels and evergreens, under which we went, with quite ItS much pleasure andlig-htheart edness, as even the honourable member himself could hare t!xpericneetl. \c fonntl our quarters ready prepared for 1I, at the Goat Tnii we en- jove(i a supper eren at that late hour, with the zest that good appetites, when sharpened I)V fati;ne give, and after the ladies had withdrawn, we of the male sex. drank the healths of "ll our friends in Old England, in a glass of excellent grog, and then ourselves sought repose, which We speedily found. The next morning we walked round the walls of the town, whieh are in very good order, and where they breast the ilIenai, form a rand and heantiful object, overtopped by the lofty towers of the Cas- tle. This was the next object to be seen, and we hastened to it.-The entrance is through a gateway of singularly fine proportions, richly ornamented with carved work, and over the centre is a statue, not however perfect, of its founder, Edward the First. Through this gateway we enter an immense eourt-yarn, surrounded on all sides by ruins of a most magnificent character. We rambled from room to room, from passage to passage, explored every hole, ascended every staircase, elimbcd the ramparts, and sealed the walls till we got to the highest part of the building, and stood upon the Eagle Tower, so called because it is the loftiest, and bccause the ornaments on its top are, or more more properly have been, eagles carved in stone.— These eagles, many learned antiquarians assert to have been (if ftoilian origin, and to have been brought hither from other places. In this castle, Edward M. w.s born the room in which he is said to have been brought into the world is shewn, with a little dark passage ad joining, said to have been the nursery. The which are very numerous, are the most perfect part of the remains of the Castle originally there were three com- plete wavs ill communication all round the court- \artl, itianv parts are now broken down, but the ruins arc so grand au;l maiestic, as to astonish and delight. From the top of tile Eagle Tower, it is to look down without shuddering the prospect all around is magnificent;—Snowdon, with its surrounding hills,—the open sea, with its broad expanse beyond the Straits,—Carnarvon town, at the foot of tIle Tower,-the Isle of An, glesea,—the Straits of lIIenai, with beautiful seo.ts adorning its shores, are all in clear survey before yon. On this tower a flagstaff is erected; one of our party, eager not to let on visit to Carnarvon pass unnoticed, tiod his crimson handkerchief to the ropes, hoisted it as a flag, and it floated in the breeze, as if proudly conscious of its unusual ele- vation, and that it surmounted the noble edifice be- low. We gave a h"artv cheer, and after this ex- ploit upon 'thos princely ?tlls, ill whose founder's time no such thing would have been permitted, we struck onr flag, and having wearied ourselves with rambling among the ruins, of which, like true tourists, we pocketed a portion, to exhibit to those wholl1ig-ht not have seen so much as ourselves, and who might he anxious to know what ruined castles are made of, we returned to the Goat, whence we intended proceeding to the takes of J.I:mberris.- We found at the inn an excellent open vehicle, which would conveniently hold six, and one oil the box ;-this was brought to the door, and off we set about noon, having seen all that Carnarvon is so justly proud f,f, and having found at the Goat every accommodation; it is an excellent illn, clean and comfortable, the people attentive, and the c,r r '? moderate. A ride of an hour and a half. through a rugged country, diversified by views, perpetually changing as we rounded the hills, and occasionally catching a glimpse ol the towers we had just left, brouaht us within sight of the J.akes to which we were proceeding. We met numbers of Walsh farmers going to market at Carnarvon, and many females also bending their way thither. If on foot, they were all employed in knitting, carrying at the same time, a heavy basket on their head, and war- ing generally no slioes, but stockings, which being without the lower part of the feet, were looped over the middle toe, covering the upper part of the instep, but leaving the foot bare upon the ground. Black hats and large caps were in universal wear, and ruddy checks and healthy countenances were apparent in all the females whom we met, whe- ther on foot, or fearless I v riding over the rough and uneven road s. When we r(?ac hed the top of ?lle hill where Llanberris Lakes came into the view, a delighful picture presented itself; a wide expanse of still water, pure as chrystal, surrounded by mountains of no ordinary class, rising on one side steep and barren from the Lake,—on the other, leaving a narrow and fertile valley, in which a few cottages were scattered. A picturesque bridge, (Under whose shelter, from th9 rays of the sun, a group of cattle, standing in the water, were collect- ed) crossing a little stream vrhieh runs into the Lake, formed the foreground and down to the margin of this stream, we deccnded a road so rough, so steep, and with such suddeu turns, that any but a mountain driver would have deemed it impassable, although we went along at a quick pace, and without any extra precaution. We took the offered services of a boatman, whose wife pul- led at the oar as well as he did, and rowed along, but were soon obliged to get out and walk, as the water was ten shallow to allow our passage. We walked over a point of land, and accosted a little merry, looking Welshwoman, at the door of her cottage, who freely supplied us with some milk and genuine brown bread, the darkest in colour I ever saw, but truly sweet and good. A well, though antiquely furnished cottage, of one story only, was her habitation; the greatest cleanliness was ap- parent, and the rude ornaments which were placed upon the chimney-piece, or in different parts of the house, were all disposed with the greatest order. The air of neatness and comfort apparent was quite delightful. She talked English but im, perfectly, and seemed highly delighted with our visit; she supplied our wants with the greatest alacrity, and when any thing was said that she did not understand, smiled good-humouredly, and retreated to another part of the room. A' small recompense pleased her much wc got again into the boat, and were rowed down this beautiful lake, having before us now, a view of an old tower, ro- mantically overhanging the water. There is in one part, a very fine echo, and calling our attention to this, our boatman replied with considerable shrewdness to a jocular observation, that it was equal to the celebrated Irish echo, which replies to a person saying—"How do you do, Pat 1"- ??ei,y well, I thank you, your honour !thnt, :,inticed truth, it was quite equal to the Irish, and could say just as much, if we would stay and teach it!" We landed in a meadow by Dolbadern Inn; and making enquiries, we soon determined to as- cend Snowdon from this point, and as sunrise is the time best calculated to see all the grandeur of a view from the mountain's top, we made our ar- rangements to set out at midnight, and engaged a guide and three horses to be ready at that time.- We employed the afternoon in seeing the neigh- bourhood of the Inn, and after ordering dinner to be prepared, set off to the old Cr tie of Dolbadern, a short walk of about half a mile. The Castle of Dolbadern stand s on a rocltv emi- nence at the head of the lower lake of Llanberris, just at the point where a small stream forms ajunc- tion with the higher one. It is a single round tower, whose massy walls show tho decaying effects of time, and is the only one remaining of five towers built hy the Ancient Britons, to defend the passes of the Carnarvonshire mountains.—It is well situated for the purpose it was intended to effect, and must have commanded the passage either by land or water, through that valley. A ruined staircase, difficult to ascend, led us to the top, whence a distinet view of the whole vale, with its mountain barriers is afforded. Several children bed followed us to the tower, and though not one of thcm could speak" wotd of English, each offer- ed for sale a bit of chrystal, or of ore, or curious stone. One little urchin offered a worthless piece, which he must have picked up,merely not to come empty-handed, and one of our party in return gravely presented him with a much larger piece a civility received with as mach thankfulness as Dean Swilt's politeness to beggars, to whom, when they howelllow, to solicit charity, he always bowed equally low in return, and passed on. We however got a few pretty specimens, for which some pence were gladly received as a remuneration, and hav- ing enjoyed the view, and strolled about, we re- turned to the inn, to a dinner of delightful trout, This flag staff, and a large portion of the upper part of the tower have since II, en thrown down by the violence of a thuuder strm, the par, ticulars of which were fully reported at the time of the occurrence, in the columns of this paper. atul mutton such r.s V, ;dcs 0111. can p;oduep.

A stewk of provisions, consisting of sandwiches and "i cnits, with some wine am1 hrandv, had hern pm vided, and packed up fur n.s by tin* people of the inn, which wc found truly \1"[111 at I he summit of the hill.

Of onr t'niv# mi!;s, two car- ried s1l1 esaddles; md with the muuH shining brjg}¡tly, off we set in high spirits, orer paths rough and rut'ged, but whidl our horses trod with perfect safety, stepping ever the piojcctiiig •i.inos without danger; and whea we had proc-cded fqr about half an hour at a fair pace, !ti"-e wl, had ridden o htT, dismounted and e<ehangid places with the walkers.—The 1lI""n-'¡S!ot view "r places we had reJ) hy day, '.vas richly worthy of notice, antI did not pass without observation.— When about half way up the hill, a se.-ond chaine of eqiiertrians took piacc, anti soon afterwards the nath for horsemen ami ioounen divnltng, f'-ise on horseback took a?t?rntY''av.:U!f):?)r?' ns took a steeper but more direct path.

MII.K.—Genuine milk has a specific gravity of about 1,018 or 1,020. It is a matter of some im- portance to the farmer to ascertain the specific gravity of it, and to learn under what circum- stances that speeifie gravity may he increased or diminished in the manufacture of butter and cheese. The cream contains the butter, and the tfre 'l'l: j'¡ :r, hC. !S t 1I '¡:I.t is r;, i:1 ;II: blue colour, is easily separable into curds and whey, and from the curd the cheese is made.— This separation of the curds and whey is effected by a curious ]HOCCS5, namely, by putting a liule bit of the inner stomac h of the calf into the milk, I I\¡"{]¡:r ;rl\ 7i;¡ :\lto,\I;I; all the upper animals, a power of coagulating milk; and, when coagulated, the stomach hegins to act upon it and digest it.
