YORKSHIRE. 
At a meeting of gentlemen, convened, 
at York, on Monday, April 9th; to take 
the situation of Foss Bridge into conside- 
ration; a statement, to the following ef- 
fect, was read and approved :—The bridge 
itself, and the adjacent parts: of Fossgate and 
Walmgate, have been very carefully surveyed 
by Mr. P. Atkinson, who has made a plan for 
improving them, and an estimate of the ex- 
pence of carrying that plan into execution. 
The proposed line of improvement extends to 
about 150 feet each way, from the crown of 
the bridge; of this length of street, the 
breadth now varies in a most irregular and 
abrupt manner, from 163 to 23 feet, with 
this exception, that the street is for a few 
yards at the east end of the bridge 27 feet in 
breadth. Mr. Atkinson proposes the erection 
of a bridge of one arch, which shall be 34 
feet wide, and 11 high, above the ordinary 
Jeveloftheriver. Mr.Atkinson’s new bridge 
is 35 feet wide within the battlements ; on 
the west he gradually narrows the street from 
that width, till it becomes nearly opposite to 
the Merchants’ Hall passage, 50 feet wide. 
To the east of the bridge, the street, on Mr. 
Atkinson’s plan, grows gradually wider, being, 
at what would be the corner of the public 
house, called the Three Cups, the eastern extre- 
mity of the improvement, nearly 40 teet wide: 
by which means the south-sideof the improv- 
ed street will form a cont nued line with the 
south-side of Walm-gate, beyond the line of 
Amprovement. The general result of the above 
plan, would be to make the whole line of street, 
comprised within it, at least equally spacious 
with the parts adjoining, thus converting a nar- 
row andinconvenient passage, at all times much 
frequented, and peculiarly so on the days of 
market and fairs, perfectly convenient to the 
public.—-The estimate of expence made by 
Mr. Atkinson, including purchases, and all 
other incidental matters, such as raising the 
Street, paving it, forming drains, dc. is 4000/, 
of which to 2663/. is already subscribed. 
The frequent distresses which happen to 
Navigation off the coast of Hoiderness, and 
particularly near the mouth of the Humber, 
and the total shipwrecks which too often en- 
sue, have induced Mr. Constable to attempt 
the establishing of a life-boat at the Spurn. 
Fi bat ire. Sgi 
Towards this end, he has obtained the shell of . 
the building lately used as barracks for the 
officer and soldiers, stationed there before 
the batteries were dismantled. This build- 
ing Mr. Constable proposes to fit up for the 
residence of the master of the boat, with a 
Suitable apartment for receiving and lodging 
the sailors who may be brought on shore. He 
will also provide and fit up all necessary out- 
buildings for this establishment, including 
Stabling for any horses necessary to keep 
there, and will also erect a new and suitable 
building for the life-boat and her carriage, as 
soon as he is informed of the dimensions ne- 
cessary for the purpose. Mr. Constable will 
further engage twelve able men, to be always 
ready, as a boat’s crew, and provide the means 
of a livelihood for the master of the boat, and 
if any assistant, as a mate, be thought ne- 
Cessary provision may be made for him also. 
Mr. Constable having no immediate interest 
in shipping, or mercantile concerns, and being 
influenced solely by, motives of humanity, 
it must be admitted that the expence he thus 
engages to sustain, and the efforts he has made, 
and proposes tocontinue, for the maintenance 
of this establishment, are ample on his part. 
For the resi, he looks to the commercial and 
shipping interests at Hull. Whenthe wealth 
and number of persons to be interested in this 
undertaking are considered, the expence of the 
boat and carriage seems to be a very trifling 
object. :
