npfllS economical and powerful system of con- -L struction is founded upon the Principles of tlie Lever therefore, it is adapted for the heaviest traffic 01 Kail and other Roads, and for the largest or smallest Spans in all situations. It is not half so expensive as Timber Bridges and, faking nn average of large and small spans on tlie old principles of suspension, this system admits of the erection of ten powerful Bridges for one, there being so much less material and labour in their construction. A substantial Bnagc upon tnis nan, ai umton, eonld be erected for 10,000, which would admit of the masonry being removed, and restore to the scenery its pristine beauty. The principle was first used by the Victoria Bridge Company over tbe Avon at Bath, in 1830, in a Bridge, 150 feet long and 13 wide. Afterwards tlie Government adopted it in five Bridges in Regent's Park; and Sir James Colquhoun, used it over the Leveli iu Scotland this Bridge is 292 feet long, and 20 feet wide.
