Expense of Royalty. Tlie now Riding House lins been hanselled by the Prince,. Itis not quite finished, owing to the frost. 'The smn of $50,000 dollars, was voted to build this edifice-a vote which might almost jus- * tify a man's becoming a Chartist.

Now, as £70,000 | was the cast of York Palace, {now Stafford house} built for the Heir Presumptive, and the new Na- tional Gallery cost only £60,000, methinks that the idea of £70,000 being too little for a Riding House, is painfully absurd. & Stockport Viaduct. Last week was completed the greatest work, of its kind, ever executed in this country» This is the Stockport Viaduct. The contractora be- ing Liverpool men {John Tompkinson and Sam- uel and James Holme, builders,) hundreds of peo- ple from this place went on Dec. 21st to view its completion. .

Mr. Buck, the engineer had the first stone laid on the 10th of Marci 1839 and the last, or capstone, 00 the gist of Deceim- ber, 1840. < Thus, in 21 months was completed a J viaduct, based on the solid rock, of 26 arches- 22 of G9 feet span and 4 of 20 feet span,. The length is 1786 feet, It stands 111 feet above the Mersey, which flows benenth, and is thus 6 feel higher than the Menai Bridge. | 'The foundation, in the sand stone, is Six feel deep, and 9 feet of stone work above ground. From thence to the springing' of the arches the piera are of brick- work, and the huge bonds of the same naterial. Brick was used as less likely» when well made,to chip, splinier, or decay, Tue quantity of Bricks used amounted 11,000,000, there were ulso used 400,000 cubic feet of stone, and the whole cost £70,000. - 'The utmost settling in the whole work ater taking the wooden supporters from the ar- ches, is half an inch. .. A great saving has been effected by raising this viaduet to such a height, as it reduces the works on. each side of the valley, ard lessens the expense £50,000. 1t has been - made 1786 feet long, because they had to spon all the streets. It is the first time that, for such a work, brick has been chichly employed.

He took the hook which had long been unused, and had it sharpen- ed at the point until it was nearly as piercing as a needic; to the ring of which he attached a fath- om of light clinin, which again was fastened to a rope of considerable length and thickness. An- other rope was then mule into a running noose, and placed so that it could be slipped when ccct- sion required, along the former. When all this was done, he ordered a live fowl to be brought from the henceop, and this he fastened to the hook in such a manner. that the wings were left entirely free, and, lest the weight or the chang, should drag it down, a small inflated bladder was then tied to the lower pari, When all this appa- ratus was ready, the mate ordered the free end of the rope to he securely fastened to the mast, and threw the bait overboard.
