eh ae 
high as to adnfit a keel to fail through it, at 
high water in {pring tides. To the enquiry, 
Yow thee Reight of the caft jron is to be over-. 
‘ome on the upper fide, this correfpondent 
anfwers, that the defignof the prefent im- 
provements (an a& of parliament haviag been 
lately obtained fot the widening and improv- 
ing Tyne bridge, as noticed ina former num- 
ber} obliges the confervators to give it more 
rife, fo that a little more than what is now 
intended, will effectually accomplifh this de- 
fign. It may be further objected, that this 
rife running fo’near the fouth end of the 
bridge, may not look fo well to the eye 3 but 
when objects of fuch great confideration are ob- 
tained by it to the trade, as that of the keels 
failing through it orander it when the wind 
admits, at all times of tide, independantly 
of many other improvements to the trade and 
navigation, thefe confiderations, he judges, 
will tinally remove every objection that may 
be made againft it. But thefe are not the 
only inftances in which the navigation will 
bethereby benefited; for in winter, when the 
river has been frozen any length of time, and 
the weather is changeabte. it will, he pre- 
fumes, be more certain to break up thefe firft, 
on account of the paflage being more open, 
there, than many other places, by the openings 
of the prefent main arch, and that of caft iron, 
which will be a certain means of dire@ting 
the ice from the fhipping at the- quay, and 
thereby preventing all that’ damage which is 
fo frequently happening at phale feafons. 
Another good which wili attend it, is, that- 
when fhips are warping in or out. from the 
guay, the keel or other crait navigation, will 
be chiefly on the fouth fide of the river, fo 
that, under fuch circumitances, there will be 
@ greater certainty of keeping clear of each 
other 5 thereby preventing much damage and 
lofs. of time ; and laftiy- when the below- 
ridge coal is nearly exhaufted, this part of 
the navigation will then be found ake ufe- 
ful, not only to the proprietors of thofe large 
and “exteniive fields ef untouched coal on bott 
fides of the river Tyne, but to thofe of the 
Darwent likewife,which will, mof affuredly, 
be brought down either by canal navigation, 
inclined planes, or railways, to the river, 
above bridge. As an additional number of keels 
will then pais this way, and mof probably 
anew kind, that of canal bridges 5 this, which 
will be fill a greater increafe, will, by this 
plan, be efte&uaily provided for. The above 
fuggeftions, if attended to, would not only 
provide for,the improvement of Tyne bridge, 
but likewife for that of the river Tyne and 
the navigation in general, and in all proba- 
bility would prevent the further .confider- 
ation of any alteration or improvement to be 
made atany futare period. fi -
