('OI,OI.u.The Royal Mail steam sUp mem, -cuelied SoLittiatrit)toii,lhursday afcti?- oon, from the West Indies, with the usual nails. On hor homeward voyage the Severn xperienced very thick weather, with much ain. during the whole of the passage from icrmuda. Our usual files of Jamaica papers save come to hand by this arrival, but they ontain little intelligence worth extracting. The revenue, or that portion of it which is till collccted, continues to decline. The im- iort duties far the Quarter ended the 5th of \pril amount to ;C27,399., against £ 32,128., or the corresponding quarter of last year, and ire less by 1:2,000. than for the January quar- cr. The decrease on the half year ended 5th April last compared with 1848, is £12,232. The stamps for the quarter ended 5th April ire less than for the corresponding quarter of 1S48 by S381., for the month jof April they are in excess of the like period in 1848, £212. The net decrease for the half-year, compared with the corresponding half-year of 1848, is The falling off in the revenue is less, 'lowcver, on the whole, than was anticipated, ritl this circumstance is attributable to the limited stocks or supply of foreign articles rendering frequent importations necessary. The Treasurer had also been enabled to meet all the more pressing claims against the pu Le, excluding the loans and debts due and becoming djue for the payment of which no provision has been made.

The Ejection of motion, and the y ,f Lcrl John Hussell to Mr. Hume, leav,, room for no other conclusion. On the proceedings in the Assembly of this island we find nothing said by ministers. What instructions have been forwarded, if any have been, to Sir Charles Grey, is not known, and is not likely to be until the Legislature again as- sembles. It is not improbable that the me- morials from our Assembly remain undisposed of, and are likely so to be until other and more pressing matters have been despatched. There is nothing particularly attractive or agreeable in them, and if we are to judge from the re- marks we have seen in some of the London papers, the Secrctury of State for the colonies will be in no particular hurry in answering them. The Jamaica Dispatch gives the particulars of an accident which bclel the nishop II few days previously. It appears he was proceed- ing from his mountain residence, when his horse fell down a precipice nearly 250 feet deep. His lordship had a narrow escape.— His fall was arrested within a few feet of the surface of the road, by his clutching and clinging to the branch of a tree. His escape from instant death was most miraculous.— Much dissatisfaction had been created in the island amongst the mercantile community, in consequence of the irregularity of the packet system. For some months, the papers state, the steamers have arriven two, three, and sometimes six days after they were due. This caused much inconvenience, and is attributed to the recent alteration of the route. The merchants were ibout. to complain to the Ad- miralty upon the subject, The commercial interests of the island remained in the same wretchedly dull state as usual. liusiness was almost at a stand still, and what little was doing was but of slight service to any one.— Freights for sugar and coffee were 4s. per cwt., and 6d. per gallon for rum. Vessels tolerably abundant. PoitEia.-i.-Tlic news from Home is daily increasing in melancholy interest. The bom. bardment commenced on the 5th inst., and on the 13th the siege batteries opened their fire upon the walls of the doomed city. Eye r) villa which gave celebrity to the environs of Home had been previously levelled to the ground by the fire of the contending armies and the Romans themselves have destroyed their noblest theatre and other buildings of great interest within the walls, to prevent their affording shelter to the French in the attack they are expected to make on Castle St. An- gelo, as soon as they have penetrated into that quarter of the city. It is needless to add, that the bombardment of Rome must involve the destruction of the most glorious monuments of art and architect are. The Palazzo Madama, once the palace of the famous Catherine de Medici, and several of the most ancient churches on the higher ground, have already sustained serious damage; and the Spada Place, which contains that majestic statue which for <500 years has been regarded as the identical statue of Pompcy at whose base great Caesar fell," has severely suffered from shells of the French invaders. Paris is at this moment more thoroughly in a state of repression than it ever was during the reign of Louis Philippe, and the Red Republicans have less chance of re- covering their ascendancy over the lawless passions of the mob than they have had since the Revolution which first brought them into notice. From Germany we have accounts of the steady advance of the Prussian army of intervention through the insurgent districts of the Palatinate. Several severe skirmishes have already taken placc, and, although the insur- gents at first retreated before the royal forces, it appears certain that they are now concen- trating for a great battle in the neighbourhood of the Rhine, and that the Prussians will meet with more resistance than they had expected. Manneheim is likely to be the scence of a san- guinary struggle and, as the insurgent leader Microslawski has established his head-quarters at Heidelberg, the banks of the Neckar will also be desolated by the ravages of cia:i war.

THE BUDGET.—This formidable affair-—to the Whigs it however been truly so-was produced on Friday night—and with that Conservative delicacy to which the party in office is so largely indebted, we elect to suffer a Whig organ to tell the tale of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer's financial IIARK- SHOW" "The exhibition m»de list ni»ht by Sir Charles Woo'l was one of the most pitiful ever made by a UiHthCellor of the Kxchequer pr()ducint.; a uudei.- Were we enemies of the ri^lit liououmbla gcnilem in, whicb Wt.» assuredly are nor, we should have clljolcJ it, as it is, the seixe of pain and cUIJHuiseration preponde- rates.

Now, let it be under- stood that this mean and selfish mode of deal- ing with .subordinates, refusing at the same time to abnte one jot from their own high salaries, is a damnatory feature in the charac- ter of officials which is fast bringing the ruling power into ,contempt in minds that would be glad of an op portunity to think well and speak respectfully o:t' the powers that be and that any sentient beings should venture upon so open a display of selfism in times when the spirit of mischie f is astir, is really astonishing.

This consoling and most important truth, his lordship presented o to the audience, in several lights and views and proved it by analogy and scripture in such an incontestihle manner, as lOeon. vince the most sceptical 01 God's infinite love and "oodness—showing that even the alilictions and trials with which this life abounds, are evidences of His mercy-that God chastises because he loves because he willeth not the death of a sinner, he will not allow him to proceed in his career of im- penitence without correction. Nothing under Crod s blessing could be more likely to correct lalse, and to create right conceptions of the character and admi- nistrations of God, in the mind of his hearers, than the fervent, clear, and truly scriptural manner in which his lordship treated this subject. Then his lordship went on lo evince, that a serious and due consideration of the ineicy of God, is a powerful iucntivc to the warmest gratitude, and the moat (ex- alted piaise. Then the preacher confined his con- templation to the greatness of God's mercy, as ex- hibited in his gracious appointment of ordinances and means of information, to his intelligent, but fallen creatures-means by which they may obtain knowledge of themselves-of God-of right and wrong, and of time and eternity. Observing also by the way, the great influence which education has upon mankind generally, and the great sin of neglecting the use of the means of information which Liod Almighty has been pleased to put with- in our reach. Then his lordship with great fervor dwelt for a considerable time upon his favourite topic, vizt EDUCATION, with astonishing facility, emphases, and variety of explanation. He spoke of the ineiey of God exhibited particularly in afford- ing us the mean" of lIltormation which we possess, means designed to make us wise unto salvation, analo fit us lor happiÜss lasting as eternity. As a Welshman, and being enthusiastically fond of my country, and my nation, I confess that I do feel thanklullu the wise disposer of all events for hav- ing cast the lot of the liishop of St. Asaph in North Wales, Few men can be better acquainted with the moral and religious state of North \Vales than myself; and it cannot be denied but that the visits ot the zealous and active Bishop of St. Asaph to the towns and villages round about for the purpose ol inspecting the schools established therein, may prove a lasting blessing to the Ancient Britons.— CONSTANT llLAIJEa. LLA;o;llWST FAIIl, Jun: 21.—The day being fine there was a large assemblage on the present occa- sion. Owing to its being held so early in the sum- mcr, there were not many cattle in a fit condition for sale, consequently the number exhibited were not breat, However, a large quantity of wool is usually brought in from the suriounding mountain district. The weather having been propitious for collecting the sheep, washing, and shearing the same. a good quantity was pitched on the street. Tile price ruled low, 2s. Cd. being the average wholesale price, for what they called a pound, con- taining olb. avoirdupois. The few cattle and horses that were disposed of were parted with at low figures. Pigs of all sorts were much ill request, sucking pigs being as high as 18s. DOLOELLKY.—On Monday week, an inquest was held in this town, before G. J. Williams, Esq., coroner, on the body of Griffith Evans, aged two years and nine months, the son of Air. ltd. Evans, saddler. It appears that the child, accompanied by an attendant, went for a walk on Sunday at noon. They returned to a house in Penucha'rdre, and having been there a short time, the child said he would go home. The woman told him to wait a little while and she would accompany him. On her leaving blie mi^ed the child, and immediately made enquiries if any one had seen him but not finding him, raised an alarm. A senrch then commenced; and about four in the evening he was found drown- ed in the river Arran, a distance of nearly a mile from the house he had left. lID-w lie got there re- mains a mystery, as it was in an almost inaccessi- ble place. The jury had the greatest difficulty in going there. There was no bruise on him, or marks of violence, nor any reason to suspect loul play. The jury brought in a verdict of Found Drowned," accompanied by a severe lecture to the servant on account of her carelessness.— There were two very narrow ESCUPLE from lire in this to.?? within the last 1,!? days. The iirst was at Fronheulog, the residence of Jlr. John Jones, Solicitor. The fire arose from a Ivt of boot having accumulated in the lower pait of the chimney, which ignited and set lire to an immense large oak beam which supports the chimney place, and very nearly burnt it through, betore the aceiÜent was discovered. The event oc- curred eurly oil Saturday morning. No doubts exisl, had it not been discovered for a short time longer, that the whole house would have been con- sULcd. As it is, there is considerable damage. The premises are insured in the Atlas Fire Office. The second fire occurred at the house of Mr. Evan Tho- mas, Fiour dealer, on the night of the llith instant. This also arose from an accumulation of soot in the chimney, and had it not been stopped, a very large portion of the town would have been destroyed. In both insrlluees the exertions of their neighbours were most praiseworthy. After the extensive fires that hnve occurred in the neighbourhood, and the narrow escapes in the town from time to lime, it is a niatier ol supprise that no Fire Engine is procured, and llItleed, very few houses are insured. Weare creditably informed, that there is no l'ire Engine in the v.'hole county. Tim MiNisTiiY IS DASOEK.— A Lord talked almost to Death by a lady .'—Lord John llussell was seized with a fainting fit in the ball-room, at Norfolk House, on Tuesday evening, and earned out insensible. His lordship speedily revived when brought into the open air, and shortly afterwards left, in company with Lady John Kussell, for his mansion in Clics- ham-piace. His lordship at the moment he was seized was engaged in nil animated conversation with the Countess of Wifton. Lord and Lady John llussell left town at half-past eleven o'clock on morning, for their residence, Pembroke Lode, Hichmond-park. The answer to the very numerous inquiries after the btate of the noble lord's health was," His lordship is quite well."

,TUB nCITNI CRIDG.
TUB nCITNI CRIDG. TKAUSoP.AViuw TI, if; IIIE PIPAT The great capabilities of that mighty online, te PitlSSS, were- rietwon any known occasion perhaps, more triumphantly proved to the satisfaction of a reading people, than in the astonishing revelations made by the, London morning journals of "Wednesday last. Appie- hensive that Cbxtun the Floater might make a botch of the affair, thereby causing disappointment to expectant readers, the' Times', 'Chronicle*, 'News' and liorald,' setting the pontoons adrift, by the aid of taeii steam presses with the greatest ease, nicety, and precision tiuat- ed the monster Tube from the place of its birth to it final resting-placo, 'mid thunders of apphU5, and can non's blaze, on the evening of Tuesday the 19t 1 instant, the fixed and stated period for the performance. Never, surely, was a tougher yarn spun before than that same launch of the morning journals; and 4f lr. SI-PHEN- son will only take the hint, by the help of these same engines, taking away hydraulic presses, the tube may at onto be hoisted to-the culminating point, or should that suit better kept in a state of suspension at any given point, like the tomb of Mahomed. To be sure a little awkward posts,ript spliced to the nether end o* the afore- said long yarn, by one touch of the pen fchad the effect of prestoing the full, true and particular account into:a romance or pure fiction and a deceived public are fur- ther and rightly informed that it was not until the third time of asking" the coy Tube would consent to enter the upper house, introduced by two peers-a procrastination the more to be regretted on our own particular account as for sake of our constant readers inasmuch as it spoiled an intended second edition on Tuesday evening. It is little use picking a quarrel with the Tube however; seeing it would be sure to lay the blame on some collapsing pon- toon, which would again shift it to the shoulders of a captain or capstan and albeit this account is rendered the day after the fair," there is nothing for it hut do the be"t that can be done under the circnmstances. It may bo -1,?,d as a cirru'ish coincidence that it wa only on the third attempt tho launch of and Menai Tubes could be effected and thus is doubly 1 ?,1- filled an ancient Welsh proverb.* No matter—the truly Herculean and arduous undertaking is accomplished; and the clouds of doubt as to the possibility of so hugeous a mass at all being safely ferried across the capricious Straits are, in the deep bosom of the ocean bnried"- the destiny which manv had chalked out for the lubc itself, now happily standing firmly on 4 terra iirma.^ It having been generally known that the event of tne day would take plaee, weather permitting, concurrently with Tuesday evening's tide, the concourse of visitors from all parts, per railway, steam-packet, and vehicle of every description was immense, in addition to whom was a multitude of pedestrians. Accommodation to a great extent had been ccured by fencing in two other great tubes along the r.o& of which forms three deep were' ?T"?d and from this commanding position a view of the preparations was obtained. On the Anglesey ?bor,, iee:a;:í"htfl;ecl,l tte;:ï I had .taken up their position, as affording a better view of the floating operations—but tens of thoi?ands gave the preference to the Carnarvonshire or immediate vicinity of the Tubes. From either side, the view was good. At half-past 7 o'clock, four guns were fired on the Anglesey side, signifying to the crew of-the Tube that all on that side were in readiness for action. On the top of the Tube, walking about with an eye to business, were JlIr. Stephenson, 51r. Bruncl, Ir. Clarke, the gallant Captain (Claxton) trumpet in hand, and one or two sig. nal-bearers; and directly Mr. Clarke descended to the stage, and by his directions the chains which attached the pontoons to the shore were struck off. On the signal to "heave" being given, the whole mass was seen to move in a line direct from the shore, but in less than a minute all hope of further progress was knocked in the head by one of those untoward events which sometimes u.p,,tth?.o?t?kilf,,Ilyd(?,-i?,d?.nibi.?ti..?. This wis 'i. ply the breakin down of a capstan, not from insuffi- eicney uf strength in itself, but from a too sudden appli- cation of power. It was evidently" NO GO and a sense of disappointment was experienced by the general oompany, In a shqrt time Captain Claxton, accompanied by Mr. Ricardo, was seen approaching the adjoining 'fube, and when within speaking distance, having made his bow, adjourned the business till 7 o'clock on Wednes- day morning-whereupon a gentleman from the Tube, in a very aristocratic tone of voice called out, 11,N(,w Ricardo, as you have passed your Navigation Laws call Ri,.r(l?, ?-o? have p,?,,l ticardo 'd to be in your foreign aid." Poor Ricardo seemed to be taken all aback, until the captain who seems never to want a shot in the locker, suggested that if they called in the aid of foreigners, to look well to their capstans -11 for ours," addccl h", are gone." This explanation of the mishap produced a hearty laugh, and led to the restora- tion of good humour. Wednesday morning the capstan on the renewed at- tempt again failed; and misgivings as to the ultimate result became o.d ..d gene,mL Numbers left in a pet, crumbling prodigiously; while some folk from Man- chester went so far ?; ??'i?ig the affair either hoax or a plan to draw money! A further postponement to another tide was consequently nccesaarily announced and a frosli breeze having sprung up ill the aftcnlOon an opinion prevailed that the floatation would again be deferred still when evening drew on thousands of all ranks were observed going along the road to the Bridge, to be no more disappointed. The company occupying the sea.t on tho Tubcs wore 1,? numerou than-on the preceding evening, but the shore on either side appeared thickly lined ?ii? spectators-whilst numbers took to the water in boats.. thtNe:iut to 8 .'clock, due preparation having been made for the voyagc, the signal for heaving wu again made; and gradually the immense pile receded from the near shore, on which a shout of triumph was raised and as quickly repressed by a command to keep silent, in order that the instructions might be distinctly heard by the working parties. Tho Tube was floated obliquely, and then gradually swung round with its face to the space between the piers. Arrived here, the pext step was one of the most anxious character, seeing that if, from the reflux of the tide, or any giving way in the net-work of tackle, or the tube overstepping the line of destination parallel with the piers, the experi- ment must have failed, and the process of bringing it back would have been one of great difficulty. Fortu- nately, however, such was the nicety of the arrange- ments, and skill, and quickness of the directing power on the top of the tube, and the moment of its progress to the spot so geometrically measured, that the success of the fiual step was unerringly secured by the vigor- ous action of a giant vice upon the Anglesca end of the tube, which clinched its extremity, and instantly held it fast. From the outset, the Tube was kept well in hand, handled with perfect ease and freedom, obedi- ent to every needful shift and fit. same as if under the influence of the wand of a Prospero. In addition to Mr. Stephenson, Captain Claxton, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Brunei, and Mr. Locke were on the Tube rendering valuable and unceasing assistance throughout the perilous process. After nearly 2 hours of the most anxious and critical toil, the voice of Capt. Claxton was heard ringing out in exulting tones- All right, Forster;" and straightway there IIrose a mighty shout of triumph until the welkin did ring agrun- Let all the Imttlemenls their ordnance fire, And let the kettle to the trumpet speak, The trumpet to the cannonier without, The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth." The time occupied in thi? grand operation, as given by one who timed it, was 1 hour 39 minutes, until the firing of the first gun. We believe this to be about the mark. The applause of the multitude, mingled with salutes of cannon, continued for upwards of half an hour after the completion of the experiment, which was cele- brated by the engineers on the tube and pontoons in successive rounds of champagne. The next operation, that of elevating the Tube to its permanent position, will be accomplished as soon as possible. This is to be done by huge hydraulic presses of a magnitude commensurate with the size of the works, one cylinder alone being almost large enough at the entrance to contain a man standing, and of the ponderous weight of 40 tons. It is the most powerful machine ever constructed. The other centre tube will next he raised, and the end one completed, ami it is expected, from the ?.Pidit of the movements, that thir great iron highway ?iy be ready for the p?,,?g?? of trains in the autumn. What adds to the eclat attending this grand operation, is the gratifying fact that it involves Ilo loss of life and but comparatively trivial injury to person. The working party at one of the Itan?, on the orJ,e I;?:inrvl: for rr:;voe aiei:fIY O"i drew the pan s in order to obey orders ;with th, gr?.t,r facility, aud were overpowered by the heavy strain on the capstan, and laid prostrate, one of the crew having been actually knocked into a boat some yards out in the water. The on-lookers quickly coming to their assistance, however with a long pull, strong pull, and a pull alto- gether" on the cable, the men soon regained their position and manned the capstan. A man of the name of Jones had a leg broken on board the Medina steamer by the breaking of a hawser, when towing the pontoons to a p l ace of securit y at the c l ose of the performance.

It was commenced in May t81G, the first stone being laid without ceremony by Frank Forster, Esq., acting engineer of tha portion of the railway be- tween Conwav and Holyhead, and of the masonry, scaf- foltlings, &c. of the Briran\lia nt ide, The >tone of which ihe towers »re built is n hard ear. honiferous limestone, or marble, called Anglesey marble it abounds in fossils, and incapable of receiving a very high polish. Some specimens of it are very handsome. It is obtained from qual des expressly opened for the purpoR on the sea shore at Pennon. M tde northern ('x t".i ly ofihl Hand, where it abound^ in eat abundance and in convenient strata of every thickness, from 6 to 4 feet downwards. The stones are split ofF with great dexterity by iron wedqes nnd wrought into shape wiih heavy steel picks. Some of the stones in the work lire no less than 20 feet in lenijih, and others weih from i2 to IJ tons. A great portion of the interior masonry, however, is built of red sandstone, from Kuncorn, in Cheshire. Thi. is a very soft stone,.vid easily worked, but at the same time very durable, especially when not exposed. The stones in the towers are all left with a rough or quarry face, except at the angles, and in the recesses, and the entabla ure at the top. This ci?enm- stance, coupled with their immense size and weight, gives the towers a truly noble appearance. The ahut- mcijts, on either side of the Straits, a»e hw?<? piles of masonry. That on the Anglesey sice is 143 feet lugh and 173 long. The abutment on the Carnarvonshire side is nearly as large, but, owins to the elevation of the ground, the masonry is less in altitude. The wing walli of both terminate iu splendid pedesials, and on each are two colossal lions, couchant, of Egyptian design, These lions, like tho tube they adorn, are on a giirantic scale, each being 25 feet long, 12 feet high. though crouched, 9 feet abaft the body, and each paw feel" inches, They contain SHOO cubic feet of s'one, and weigh 120 tons. They were sculptured by Mr. Thomas, of the New Houses of Parliament. It was once contemplated to surmount the centre tower with a figure of Britannia, in stone, 60 feet in height by the same artist; but the 'I he d?ign? for the idea is fur the present abandoned. 'I he designs for the masonry, both for this and the Conway Tubular Bridge, were furnished by E, Thompson, Esq ot London. When the whole strncture is completed, it will consist of two immense wrt)U^ht-iron tunnels or tubes, each con- siderably upwurds of a quarter of a mile in length, placed pide by 8id-, through which the up and down trains re- spectively will pass. The ends of these tubes rest on abutments, the intermediate portions brins supported across the Straits by three massive and lofty stone towers. The centre tower, as has been just observed, stands on a rok, which is covered by the tide at high water. The side towers stand on the opposite shores, each at a clear distance of 46') feet from the centre tower. The abutments are situated inland, at a distance of 230 feet from the side towers. The Britannia tower is 62 feet by 52 feet 5 inches at the base it has a gentle taper, so that where the tubes enter it is 5.) feet by 45 feet 5 inches. Its total height from the bottom of the foundations will be, when com- pleted, nearly ^3 feet it contains 148 6Ô cubic feet of limestone, and 144,625 of sandstone, weighing very nearly 211.000 tons, and thereare:)37 tons of cast-iron built into it in the shape of beams and girders. The total quantity of atone contained in the bridge is cubic feet. The land towers ure each 62 feet by 5 feet o inches at the base' tapering to 55 feet by 3i feet at the level oj the boilom of the tubes; their height is lyDfoet from high water; they contain 210 tons of cast-iron vn beams and girders. V The bridge itself is divided into four spans, namely, the two small spans at each end, which are over the land, and are each fTO feet wide and the two principal spans, which are o?r the water, an d are eac h 460 fet !i' ':}ih.;loe\,¡ea;"¡: ¡n;.1: ot:I:; I which cros? the tand.hcim constructed on the phtforms, at their ultimate l£vd, do not require any removal. ?t?h'' ea'i'h-u?h?''?'ma? tubes, their span is ??,tly greater than that of any other railwa!, bride ill exist- ence the Conway tubes excepted. But the larce tubes, which are to cross the water, were constructed on innber platforms alorn? Ihp beach, on the Carnarvon shore, just above the level of liixh water. The length of one of these iuhe«, as constructed on the platform, is 472 feet, thai is, twelve feet lonaer than the clear span between the towers. This additional length is intended to afford a temporary beann* of six feet at each end after they are raised into their places, until there is time to form the connexion between them across the towers. Oar Lon- don readers will better appreciate the great length ol these tubes by remembering, that if one of the. were placed on end in St. Paul's churchyard, it would reach :07 feet higher than the top of the cri)ss file span is much greater than has ever before been attempted, ex- cept on bridges on the suspension principle. The length of the iron arch on Soutlnvark-bridse, in London, the liagest rigid span in this country, is but i' t > feet. Each tube consists of sides, top, and bottom, all formed of lone, narrow wrought-iron p)ates, varying in length from IS feet downward. The direcuon in which these plates are laid and rivetted toucher is governed by the direction of the strains on the different parts of the tube. They are uf the same manufacture as those for mnldn boilers, varying in thickness from tliree-eiglitlis to ttirel- fourths of an inch. Same of them weigh nearly 7 CWI.. and are among the largest it is possible to roll with any existing machinery. In the sides the plates are 0 and d feet long, and half an ineh lhick, but the IOllgcst plates are in the bottom, being V2 feet long, by 2 feet 1 inches wide, arranged in double layers. At the top they are 6 feet in length and 1 foot 9 inches ill brcaUh. The con- nexion between lop. bottom, and sides, is made much more substantial by lriangular pipces of thick pl-.n, rivetted in across the corners, 10 enable the tube to resis Ihe cross or uvisiing strain to which it will be expused from tho heavy and long-continued c«les of w nd that, sweeping up the channel, will assail it in its I )fly and unprotected position. The rivets of which there are 2 000,000, cich lube eontaining 327 t.t're more than an inch in diune-er. They are placed in rows, and were put in the holes red hot, and beaten with heavy hammers. In cooling, they contracted strongly, aud drew the plales together so powerfully, that it required a ores ot from four 10 six tons 10 eac h r i vei to cause the plates to slide over each other. The total weight of wrou;lit-iruii in the tube floated on Wednesday is ltOO ions. The height of the tubes is not the same at all paiti of their length. It is greatest at the centre, in the lJ, itw. nia Tower, where it is thirty feet outside, and diminishes gradually towards the ends, at which, in the abutments, the extelllal weight is only twenty-feet Time; inches, the top forms a regular arch, (a true parabolic curve) and the bottcm is quite straight and horizontal. The clear internal height is. on account of the tlouble top and bottom, less by four feet thanthe external, be ng twenty-six feet at the cpmre, and eighteen feet nine inches at the extreme end. The land tubes are, nulside, twenty-seven feet, and, inside, twenty-three feet high at their smaller ends. The interoal width, froln side to side, is fourteen feet, lliounh the clear space for the pas- sageof the trains Is but thirteen feet five inches. The whote width, outside, is fourteen feet dght inches. Each tube contains about ten miles of anele and T- iron, dnd the whole bridge sixty-five miles The weight of the wroughi-iron in one of the large tubes is estima- tedat about one thous IHd six hundred tons, of which five hundred a'e in the butioin, six hundred in the sides, and fi? bnndred in the top The larc .uhe "àS coo, s -icled by Nlc,?srs fD.kinf?

NEW ZEALAND. Wellington newspiyiors to the 4thof Marcn have been report of a "roformbuuqnct," which was oeM/rated ill the theatre at Wellington on th, evening of the It of that mouth. The object of the gathering was to give a public demonstration in favour of the agitation for representative institutions. Port Cooper had been fixed upon as the site of tho Canterbury settlement, and the surveys hud commenced. The following extracts from ft private letter will he welcome to all who tako all interest in the settlement Wellington, Feb. 2G. No doubt you have had the most exaggerated accounts of the damage done by the earthquake. Unfortunately the Dido sailed from Auckland shortly after the receipt of a highly coloured ùispatch from I/e itciiant Governor Byre, who," ill his fright, represented Wellington iu ruins. The greater part of the buildings in town have heeu repaired or rebuilt, and several new edifices have been erected. Some persons who left OIl account of the earth- quake have already returned, and others have intimated their intention to follow the example. This does not look like ruin. The land purchasers and the settlers generally are much pleased with the new resident-agent of tho Ne??- Zealand Company. Some passengers by the Ajax t,?to that they could obtain no information in Londou of what it was requisite to bring to the colony. Here is a list:— One or two good American axes, not to weigh more than 41b. each; a small narrow hatchet; a spade and shovel; a light' mattock,'Iialf tile length of that used in England; a narrow grubbing hoe; a crow-bar; a Kent hop-spade is veryjuseful, but not essential; a hand-saw*; a crosscut saw, 5 feet; a jack and smoothing plane; a lf-inch screw augur; door locks and hinges; latches, &e" according to a man's means; ■seme nails.

There were 31 plaints entered for this lime, and 1 application for a now trial— U out ot which number had been previously settled out of Court. The remaining 22 cases came on for hearing they were all of the usual class of simple contract debts, for goods sold and delivered. nooe of which created much interested but to the parlies concerned; with the exception of the following case, viz. :— Daniel Davies v, Owen Evans.—This was an ap- plication by the Plaintiff for a new trial, on the ground that tl:e jury had obviously given him too small damages when the case was tried, as it wou d appear as he alleged from the evidence then taken. Mr. Wade, for the Defendant, objected that the Court had no right to entertain the application, a similar application having been hear-, and a new trial refubed, IllS Honour overruled the objection, stating tint he could not prevent the plaintiff from making the application.—The Plaintiff thereupon proceeded with the motion urging that they not only had the several cases to show that lie was entitled to a new trial, but that Nir. Wade himself had told hiin that he was entitled t,) more damages. Mr. Wade, in reply, stated that he had twiily loid the Plaintiff if perseverance would entitle any one to more, he (the plaintiff) would be so entitld.- h. Davies then said Dear me! how people have ai- tered." The learned J udge having attentively heard both paries refused to grant the now trial.
