PREVIOUSentering on a description of the present bridge, and of the works to connecteatherewith, it may be well togiveashorthistory of the ancient structure, which was one of the most interesting of the kind in this country ; for, supposing any portion of it to have formed part of the original edifice, it must have possessed claims to antiquity to which few otherscouldpretend, a bridge having been knowntoexist at thisspot during the last seven centuries...

By W. A. PROVIS, M. Inst. C.E. Read February 16, 1841. MANYerroneous and contradictory reports having been circulated as to the injurious effects of winds on the Menai Bridge, I have thought it right to record such of theprincipal facts relating to thematterashave come within my knowledge ; and believing that they will not be uninteresting, I am induced to submit them to the consideration of the Institution of Civil Engineers...

E., EDINBURGH. Read Fehruary 23, 1842. COFFERDAMS, constructed of timber piles driven into Usual construction of Cofferdams. thegroundbythe piling engine being extensively employed in the hydraulic works of all countries, are familiar to every one. It occasionally happens, however, that the construction of cofferdams by driving piles in the manner alluded to is found to be impracticable, owing to the hardness of the soil in the bottom of the sea, river, or lake, as the case may be, in which they are to be erected, and in such situations some modification of the ordinary apparatus is rendered necessary...

C.E. y Read February 9, 1841. A QUARTER of a century has barely elapsed since the application of steam power to the purposes of maritimeandriver navigation was regarded more in the light of an ingenious problem than as a practicable undertaking; the perseverance and skill of scientific and enterprising men have, however, triumphed over the difficulties which beset them, and the result is that steam power has not only been rendered subservient to coast and river navigation, but by its means the shores of the Mediterranean and of the Atlantic are approached and those seas traversed with celerity and certainty, in defiance of winds and tides : it may now, therefore, be presumed that steam navigation is permanentlyestablished,though at presentnot so extensively as the exigencies of maritime transport require...

IN mylast communication, " On the Action of Steam inCornish Single Pumping Engines," it was shown, by the analysis of three examples, that the simple elastic force exerted throughout the stroke-as ascertained by the ratio of the volumes of water, and steam consumed-was insufficient to overcome the opposed resistance. The appearance of this deficiency of power, on the preceding well known, and usual manner of estimating itt led me to ...

Read March 30, 1840. OF the explosions which occur in steam boilers, it may with reason be assumed, that a very large proportion must be assigned to some other cause than the simple pressure of the steam due to the accumulation of a surplus quantity in the boiler, or the overloading of the safety valve, since many cases of explosions have occurred in which it has been ascertained beyond all doubt that thesafety valve was in perfect order, and also cases in which it had acted immediately before the explosion, or was even in action at the instant of that occurrence...

- 449 XX.-Remarks on the Duty of the Steam Engines employed in the Mines of Cornwall at dflereut periods. By J O H N S. ENYS, ESQ., Assoc. Inst. C.E.* Read January 14,1840. THEadvantage of an intimate union of theoretical and practical knowledge in the application of steam power will be readily admitted, and the certainty, that in case of difference of opinion the latter ought to be relied on, should lead us to a cautious investigation of the conditions which may influence the results : it will be the object of my remarks, which embrace only a portion this subject, of to further this union by an attempt to trace the progress of improvement in Cornwall, and to point out some of the principal causes by which it appears to have been effected; the inquiry may perhaps be found deserving of attention, since extravagant and undefined ideas have been prevalent in Cornwall of an almost unlimited increase of duty, while elsewhere the reported duty has been sometimes treated as incredible and inconsistent with the laws of Nature...
