SCBMAKI.VE RAII.WAVN. Tffflw to tli© Clmiinel—Channels, Bridges and ferries. (From Chambers's Journal J _ The passage from Dover to Calais, or from Folkestone 'to Boulogue, is not a long one either in time or distance, but it is nearly al ways unpleasant, and often very abominable. There is naturally a chopping cross sea in that part of the Channel, due to conflicting tides, winds and currents, and the steamboats feel the roiling motion all the more through being so small. Hence arises at once the question, Why are they so small ? This, it appears, is due to the fact that larger boats would draw more wa ter than the harbors can command. All the four harbors are shallow at lqw tide, all are much encutnbered with mud or sand, and all are affected by winds, which call for shelter even beyond that which is at present provided. Whether we shall improve the harbors, so as to permit the use of larger and better vessels, or whether we shall adopt some larger and bolder scheme, is the problem. There are schemes for A TUNNEL. Some of the projectors talk of iron shafts running up from the bed of the sea as a means •of ventilation ; but they give very few hints of the mode in which they would execute the work. More recently came M. Fayre’s scheme, in which the tunnel was to be more than a hundred feet below the bed of the sea; shafts sunk through the sea and sea bed were to fur nish facilities for excavating the tunnel in the first instance, and for ventilating it afterwards; andrailway trains were to be propelled through it by atmospheric pressure. Then came the plans of Mr. Nicol and Mi;. Austin; the one for a tunnel lined with an iron tube, the other for three parallel tunuels at a depth of, sixty ; feet below the sea bed. And theu came M. Thome de Gamon'd’s scheme for a tunnel ven tiiateefiby conical shafts, one of which was to be of such gigantic dimensions as to permit of winding roadways down its interior, to a sta tion-more than a-hundred feet below the-bot tom of the sea. It is dangerous to laugh at en gineers, for they have the knack of turning the laugh against us by doing the very things which we have pronounced impossible; but this scheme certainly is a staggerer. At the present time some of our most noteworthy engineers, such as Mr. Hawkshaw, Mr. Brunlees and Mr. Remington, are seriously directing their best ,enei;giestotunneiscliemes,underabelief'tUat, notwithstanding all fliflicullies, a railway tun nel will be better than any other plait for cross ing the Channel. But the tunnel-makers do not have the dis cussion to themselves. Mr. Bateman, a very eminent engineer, says that he can lay dowtha railway oiU.be bed of the sea, and so avoid the trouble of tunnelling beneath it! This idea grew up from small beginnings. Early in the century two Frenchmen, MM. Franchot and Tessie de Mottray, proposed a "plan for laying dowm a east-iron- tube on- the-bed: of the sea, large enough to take wheel carriages; but they did not develop the matter with'any clearness. I M. Payeme, another Frenchman, preferring masonry to iron, proposed to form a. smooth causeway of concrete at the bottom of the sea, .by the aid of the diving-bell; and to build on it a brick or stone tunnel of any desired dimen sions. Mr. Wintou has a plan for laying down a wrought-iron tube at the bottom of the sea, big enough to admit a railway train; Mr. Chal mers has another that would cost twelve mil lions sterling; and Mr. Cown a third, in which the tube is to be lined with concrete. Mr.Zerah' Colburn speaks well of a plan for constructing a. tube on the shore, in pieces one thousand feet long, towing them out, sinking them, and join- ing them end to end at the" bottom of the sea. Mr. Page, engineer of the new Westminster Bridge, proposes to build on shore eight conical ! shafts of iron, tow them out, sink them, and j fill in the space between an inner and au outer i cone with concrete. A lighthouse would be ; built at the top of each eoue ; while at the ! bottom would be openings to the tube. The tube would be constructed in quarter mile lengths, sunk and joined end to end by work men who would descend the shafts, and bur- I row away in the water under the protection of diving-hells. Some engineers assert that the , men could not work under such a tremendous pressure of water; but Mr; Page declares that . lie has a plan to ensure this; aud, as for venti lation, he will provide eight permanent open shafts to ventilate the tube at all times. Mr. Bateman, in like manner, places reliance on a • tube, but will coustruct it in a different way. It would be thirteen feet in interior diameter, and four inches thick. The sections would be • • built up aud put together within a peculiar kind of air chamber, at the bottom of the sea ; and this chamber would be pushed on through the water, by hydraulic power, as fast as the tube is completed. One of the other engineers says: “ There woidd be sixty thousand joints in your tube, any of which may get into trouble; and wliat would you do then? ” Ah! . what, indeed ! As to the floating tube tunnel, actually midway in the water between the sur face and the bottom, we find nothing new to record. Engineers and projectors have not taken kindly to this idea. It will be re membered that Mr. J. F. Smith’s plan was for a wrought-iron tube “at a level of thirty or forty feet below the surface of the water. The diameter of the tunnel aud the thickness of its metal would he so adjusted that it would float. Mooring chains aud anchors would prevent it from bobbing up wards. Masonry piers, a mile or more apart, would embrace it on the two sides; while cross rods from pier to pier of each pair would con fine the tube at the top and bottom. The tube would be made in lengths of one hundred feet each, floated out, sunk, and joined air-tight. Some kind of corkscrew staircase would afford access to the tube on the English aud French shores, aud Use happy passengers would de scend to their railway carriages in the tube. Considering how easily such a floating tube -could'-come -to grief,-and what an'iireifaritble"’ loss it would be if the sea were to make an ir- , ruction, wc'need not marvel that this particu- ! lar mode of crossing the channel has nob met with many advocates. j A TWENTY-MILE RIIIDIIK. j We will dismiss the fifth level, or bridge J scheme, in a few words, because few persons look at it as at all feasible. There lias been one plan for an iron tunnel or railway tube, supported at a sufficient height above the water upon foiu- hundred stone piers; other plans for a continuous bridge or viaduct, witli drawbridge openings or pivot bridges for tbe passage of ships, and others for a high level bridge, under which ships could pass through arched or square-topped openings. M. Brmtet, a French engineer, has recently broached a plan whereby he believes he could span open ings of three hundred feet from pier to pier. But any bridge twenty miles long would be of immense cost aud difficulty; while so many piers woidd he dangerous to sbip3 at night and in stormy weather. Let us come to the schemes relating to the level of the sea itself. Some thing that might be called a steam floating bridge has often engaged the attention of engineers, and is now ihe favorite idea of Mr. Fowler in liis plan for improving the Channel passage. . Such a bridge, in effect, .is a' large, long, flat steamboat, with facilities for accu rately adjusting its departure and arrival points on shore. The idea is not now started for the . first time. A few years ago. Mr. Ghinie pro posed an arrangement in which the towers were to be built in the sea, at a short distance from the shores of England and France. An cmbankment'was to be built from ihe towers to each mainland, to the level' of the existin'' railways. .A railway going (sav) from Eu£ land to France, would run along the South eastern Railway, then along the embankment, and so to tire top of the tower. Here it would be received on a platform, and would he low ered by hydraulic power to the level of the sea, agreater or-less descent, according to the state . of the tide. A long flat steamship or raft >would receive the train, and would convey it across the Channel to the French coast, where a reversed series of similar operations would raise the train by hydraulic power to the top of a tower, ready to run along an embankment to, a junction with the French railways. About two years ago a scheme by Mr. Daft, on some such Dlan as this, occupied its due portiou of attention. He had long before patented a sbrt of monster raft or ferryboat for ocean navigation, and.he proposed to modify the idea for the Channel ferry. The vessel was to consist of two long quadrangular hulks, a little distance apart, decked over and bridged one to the other; broad paddle-wheels would rotate iu the space between them; aud lines of rail on deck would receive railway trains. What sort of dock would be required for sueli a huge' double ship, and what would be the sailing, or rather steaming qualities of the mon ster, we could not venture to say. ’ Mr/Gran-" tham, who is learned bn the subject of iron ships, proposes a steel vessel four hundred feet in length, with such a shallow draught as to accommodate itself to existing harbors; it would have a cellular structure at bottom, with good cabin accommodation above. The steamer would draw up by the side qf a pier or quay, close (say) to the Southeastern Railway; and the passengers would pass along a few feet on a level from the one to the other, by a pecu liar adjustment of gangways, according to the height of the ti de. Luggage-vans would be lifted on board by cranes, without disturbing the luggage ; but as regards the passenger trains, they would not go on board. Mr. Grantham contends that this would be the cheapest, and most practicable of all the plans. - Mr. Bridges Adams has conceived the_idea of twb.mohster rafts, side by side, one to receive a goods train, and one a passenger train, with some kind of central paddle or double-screw propeller; and Mr. Galloway has suggested something similar, but on a smaller scale. • But let us look a little more closely at the train ferry method. Mr. Fowler, engineer of the un derground railways, has explained all the de tails of this plan with remarkable, clearness. He proposes to start from Dover, and to run his gigantic steam ferry across to near Cape Gristiez. His purpose is to.construct new and well-sheltered harbors on both coasts, and to make the:pas-. sagevvitlilargeandadmirablycontrivedsteain ers. Westward of the existing admiralty pier at Dover will be a new pier, according to Mr. Fowler’s plan, and between the two will be a harbor sheltered from every wind, expressly for the ferry service. Two short connected links wifi bring the Southeastern Railway aad the Chatham Dover Railway to the same quay at the side of the harbor. The new harbor will be of - sufficient depth at all states of the tide. There wifi be a graving-dock, a covered .berth'for the steamers, and hydraulic .apparatus for raising and lowering the trains. So much for the English side. On the French side there will be more dif ficulty. Calais is exposed to many adverse winds, and the harbor is much choked with sand, while Boulogne has these or other dis advantages in about equal degree. Mr. Fowler has consequently selected a spot on the coast between the two, near the village of Andre celles, where there is deep water, no sand, and good shelter from the north and east winds. A harbor (the approval and assistance of the French Government being first obtained) will be constructed, at that spot, with the same kind of quays, graving dock, covered berth, hydrau lic machinery, as at Dover. Small curved branches .will connect the quay with the system of railways running to Paris on the one hand and to Belgium on the other. The arrange ment, when completed, would shorten the railway distance from London to Paris by ; about fourteen miles, and the sea distance by i two miles. The saving .of time, owing, to circumstances presently to !be explained, would be nearly two ; hours, iSo much for works ou land: : and now for the ferry-boats (if so humble a name be given to such large aucT powerful steamers).in which'the passage is to be made. They will be no less than four huudred aud fifty feet, long—the largest ships in the world except the Great Eastern; nearly sixty feet beam and more than eighty-five feet across the paddle boxes. Two complete railway trains, one for passengers and one for goods, can be accommodated on board each ship by a most ingenious arrangement. The stem and stern , wijjl he made to open, to admit the entrance and exit of trains of carriages and wagons. The passenger train will run upon a platform occu pying the whole length of the vessel on its main deck, and protected from the weather overhead by the upper deck. The goods train will descend au incline to a lower platform just under the passenger train. ■* COM LOUTS of TIIAVKL, Dining-saloons, ladies’ cabins, smoking rooms, custom-house rooms, &c., will be situ ated ou the main deck, on either, side of the platform on which the passenger train rests. By this most convenient arrangement passen gers may either remain in the carriages, or (as most of them would assuredly do) may alight and take their ease in the' saloons during the sea passage—supping, breakfasting, dining, or otherwise refreshing the inner man before resuming their journey on French ground. The idea is that the entire voyage from coast to coast shall be made in about an hour; aud the constructional and steaming qualities of the vessel are to be conducive to this end. As it is part of the bargain (in which Neptune is supposed to be concerned) that there is scarcely to be any pitching or roll ing, nothing is likely to prevent the big ferry ship from making a rapid transit. The passen gers would secure the self-same seats iu self same carriages all the way from London to Paris. The luggage aud the mails, also, - would'- " be "■ —undisturbed. ' ' It “is ‘ in this saving of time by avoid ing the necessity of transhipping passengers, luggage and mails, that the shortening of the journey will mostly be effected. The rails oh the quay, on the hydraulic hoist, and on the platforms in the ship, will, of course, be on the same gauge, and will be properly connected by points, sidings, Ac. At high-water, the passenger platform in the ship will be about on a level with the quay ; at other states of the tide a descent of the hydraulic hoist will easily accommodate itself to the difference iu levei. Marine engines of first-rate character, and all the bestappliances of machinery, are, of course, to be looked for; if done at all, the thing must be done well. Admiral Oinmaney has so far endorsed this plan as to indicate what the size of the great steam ferry ship mighTße, accord ing to the depth of water which the harbors would accommodate—four hundred feet long with a draught of thirteen feet, three hundred aud fifty with one of ten feet, aud three hun dred with one of seven feet.

Why.should.not.a sinner set forth to his fello>v I sinners the infinite merits of the Saviour, with out tying. up bis neck in white muslin ? So he valiantly turns down his shirt collar; and his conservative deacons are lucky if he does not wear a necktie of some light shade, and 1 smoke cigars in the outskirts of the villager When he meets the infidel tailor, he does not pass by him with au air of mingled pain and a rebuke which causes that ill-tempered little scoundrel to ‘blaspheme more hideously'thau ever, and to bawl out to his sad-eyed wife, a believer yoked with an unbeliever, that there goes another of her infernal hypocrite parsons. On the contrary, he stops genially at the shop window ; goes further in pointing out errors in our version Of the Scriptures than Tom Paine himself, the tailor’s favorite author; gets his measure taken for a coat; makes the little blas phemer think to himself, Well, anyhow, this ain’t one of your hollow-chested croakers like old Smith, or young Skimp, or that Merkes; points out, then, that though this and that and a thousand more errors may be alleged by the scolfer, and freely admitted by the believer, the eternal truths of the Bible are still as near the tailor’s soul, aud of as tremendous importance to il, as ever ; gives the tailor’s son a lesson in boxing; leaveal.be tailor in the shop, and, go ing into the back parlor, prays with the tailor’s wife—not a dry, set prayer like Skimp’s, hut a heartfelt talk with liis Father, which the tailor hears through the door; and ho comes out, gets alight for his cigar from the inlidel’s pipe, recommends him to procure such and such a brand of tobacco, and goes away leaving Skep ticus badly staggered, and on the high road to Sunday clean shirts and surreptitious attend ance at “evening meeting.” The live man in the ministry never preaches; he talks. Christ is not to him an abstraction, j he says,'liut liis' flesli-and-blobd brother, who' loves to be addressed familiarly. • So, when preaching and praying, he is " not averse to a little slang-—provided it is not.of the kind called Sermonese. What harm is a joke from the pulpit ? In short, the new Timothy is usually a young with more blood than brains; with more ability to talk fluently than capacity for thinking; about as spiritual minded as a stock broker, and notso yvell man nered ; as learned as amagazine writer; as witty us a sophomore; as noisy as a stump speaker; as displeasing a person to anybody who likes spirit ual and moral teachers -to be men of - dear, "heads and eleaii hearts its any person' that eair well be conceived of. Effect of tbe War on California. Wines, The San Francisco Chronicle says: “ It is ‘ an ill wind that blows nobody good.’ This promises to be illustrated in the results of the European war, as far as the United States are concerned in general and California in particular. The wine-growings interest lias assumed considerable magnitude within a few years .past, and to-day is esteemed . one of the. most valuable of our resources. Should the war be prolonged, there is not much proba bility that the vintage of IS7O of France or Germany will be heard of in the market,"aud as the people who are accustomed to the use of wines will not care to forego their luxury be cause Napoleon and Bismarck choose to quar rel on a question of minor importance to them, they will look elsew here for. a supply. And, naturally, California wines will, receive that consideration which is justly their due. The wines of California, as well as the brandies, possess a certain degree of rank ness and strength which are not found in the French and German vintages, but it is claimed that a recent invention has overcome these objections, and that we eau now present connoisseurs with a most excel lent. article in every respect. Recent advices indicate that the California wines are slowly es tablishing themselves in favor. -Notwithstand ing the objections we have referred to, these wines were rapidly gaining in reputation in the Eastern States several years ago, until some greedy compounders of liquors engaged in the ‘ manufacture’ of California wines, flooded the market with a spurious article, aud in conse quence good and bad became a drug. Achance is now offered to tbe California wine-growers to recover the lost ground, aud they will doubt less improve it. Congress should take early action and discriminate in favor of native wines, and relieve this branch of industry from taxes which are unjust and oppressive. The war lias already caused an increase in bread stuffs sufficient to make glad the farmers ; now should it increase the demand for the pure juice of the grape,California will have no cause to mourn.

Menards wife is accused of being accessory to tbe crime. London, September I. —[.speciallo tbe New York Tribune.] —A correspondent writes from Paris August 31,.as follows : “ All kinds " of food are already reaching famine prices. Butter, salt and potatoes are double, and meats triple the usual cost. Tradesmen refuse to sell except in limited quantities, . Preparations are being made on a vast scale for tbe. wounded, anil colleges, lyccums, schools, and convents are converted into hospitals. By order of tbe government the palaces at Versailles, Thialion, St. Cloud, Meridon, St. Germain, and Bambouillet are to be immedi ately prepared for tbe same purpose. Many private bouses have been given tip. Tbe rich oiler their country seats and the poor single rooms, and the Omnibus Company has given several depots. Distrust between the govern ment and tbe people still exists, but has much diminished. Time is tbe great French ally. A week since the Crown Prince might have ridden into Paris, but to-day the defences are stronger and tbe moral conditions of defence still more improved, and it only needs the trust of the people to save Paris and France. Bkus.se t.s, Sept. 1, *.45 p. M.—Belgium newspapers of this evening publish the follow ing telegrams: Bouillon, August iil. —Fight- ing commenced at 9 A. M. to-day at Boseiles. The French are said to have captured JO guns. No positive result has been received. Brussels, Sept. I.—[Special to tlie New Y ork Herald.] —It is reported here tjiat a fresh battle commenced to-day in the direction of Sedan. MacMabon occupies a strong posi tion. Tbe following official despatch is from a Prussian source: Yai:ennE3, Sqpt. 1.-r-The endeavors of MacMabon to, relieve Metz have beep thoroughly ffustrated by the operations of tbe last few days and the battle of August JO. The loss of tbe enemy is extraordinarily great, while that on our side is comparatively small. Paris, Sept. I.—The Constitutionncl says the Diplomatic Corps will not leave Paris. The Empress lias signified her intention to remain, even in case of a, siege. The Minister of War yesterday, in the Corps Ler/islalif, said he was sure the Chambers would act rightly iu leaving him freedoni of action. What ha'd been done in so short-a time was an earnest- of - what would be done in the immediate future. The proposition to arm the people in the invaded provinces, which was opposed by the Ministry, was rejected by a vote of 180 to 50. Paris, Sept. I.—[Special to, the New York Times.] —The combined movements of Ba zaine and MacMabon have been most success ful, and their strategic plans have been well devised,promptly executed,and directed to all the weak points of the enemy. The victory of the Trench at Coureelles was important as main taining prestige against numbers. Confidence is entirely restored and a siege ridiculed. A despatch received to-day from a correspondent of the Ne,w York Times , on the Prussian side, represents discouragement as on the increase, the cry “ To Paris 1” is daily becoming fainter, and death from exposure and disease is making fearful havoc in tlie Prussian ranks. Berlin, Sept. I.—The telegraph lines are Still in inextricable confusion. The dates of ■messages from the seat of war, and particu larly those from Beaumont, giving tbe details of tbe late b'attles, require verification. Bkussels, bept. I.— lnformation of a grave character has been received from the frontier.’ Violation of Belgium territory by one or -other of t[ie hostile armies in France- is immi nent, and reinforcements have been sent to the Count of Flanders, at Philipyille. PassengMfc- between London and Paris still worrylpo,ugl|Py way of Dover and New Haven. r ' ' y ; v The French frigate Off Plymouth, after cap turing the Julius, was seen oh Wednesday at dusk in. pursuit of a large German ship, which was making e’v.ery effort to escape. Pauis, Sept." 1, Evening—[Special to the New York Hefcd'd.] —The evening papersstate that on August ,20 Marshal Bazaiue gained a substantial victory I "'pver Frederick Charles’s cavalry; that on the 30th the ;Prus sians obtained an advantage over De Failiy’s TOE W AR. corps, but that yesterday MacMabon gained an important victory. c j._ va ': London, iNept; ,I.—[Special to tlie ?fow York World.] —Another tremendous battle oc curred to-day before Sedan: - MacMabon, with an inferior, forge, is disputing every inch of ground -with desperate valor. Pniikao said to-; day that MacMabon has not suffered near so much as the Germans, and the fighting will continue for, several, days in t|ie same region. The Parisians believe'That MacMahoh will be able to hold tlie Germans at . bay .until tbe army of LyOns, 150,000 strOrig, can be brought into action. . ■„. Tlie garrison of Strasbourg made a success ful sortie on Tuesday night. Paris, Aug.; 31, : :E?ening.j~[Special to the New York Tribune.]—The majority of the Coips Ler/islatif shows no real "regret at the Bonapartists’ attacks on Protestants, and tlie Ministers have declined to promise that pre fects guilty of exasperating the mob against the Protestants shall' be-dismissed. In such matters the power of the Empress is, as M. Picard hinted, supreme, atid tlie Empress fa vors religious persecution even in tliisiCrisis.. - London, Sept. I.— [Special to the' New York Tribune.] —The Medical Journal says it is assured that the statements as to the delicate and doubtful st&tc.qf [the Emperor’s health are well founded. Dr. Prescott Hewitt, of St. George’s Hospital, visited the Emperor profes sionally, and says that in consequence of pain ful and wearing vetical and prostatic affections, auded to recent fatigues, bodily and mental, startling announcements may be made at any moment. Whether the battles of Beaumont and Cariguan. were fought on the same’day or on successive days seems doubtful. MacMabon had been caught with his army astride tbe Meuse, and .attacked by superior forces on both. s srdeS ; to retreat. Finding tbe enemy on bis flank and his communications threatened, he wasted no time, but attaekedj-wherever he could reach the enemy... The. country 'above Etain and Verdun is filled with troops. The Crown Prince of Saxony held the .right, bank of the Meuse, while three-Saxon and .Bavarian corps advanced on Buzancy.' The battle of Carignan, tbe official details of which are wanting, was. apparently the most important. It was fought under the eye of the Emperor, MacMahon commanding in person. The defeat was followed by a rout . and.apps rimtiy ,i hot Prussian pursuit. MiicMahciii could only fall back onSedan, fugitives from the other battle accompanying him. Strong de tachments are expected from tbe Crown Prince, near Rbeims, to complete the environment of MacMahon’s remaining forces. French official accounts represent that Mac- Mabon is retiring either on Sedan or Mezieres to occupy the enemy, whom it is no longer safe to engage.at a distance from his.strongholds, _. A Tribune correspondent telegraphs from Luxemburg pi; September Ist, at noon: There was fighting at Longwy this morning. All the heights are covered with smoke, but if there are any French at Longwy, they can only be routed troops flying before tbe Saxony Crown Prince. Such a position it is impossible that tlie French could have accepted except at the last extremity, ' . ; Communication between Paris and London by rail and telegraph is uninterrupted. ~ A special correspondent' of tlie Tribune, with tlie First Prussian Army Corps, writes on Aug ust 30: The Second Army sent the Crown Prince two and a half corps ten days ago, and ■they have been returned, as the plans have been changed from tbe starving out'of Metz to a bombardment. • Heavy artillery has been mounted against Forts St. (JueiiUn and Plajipenville. Dysentery and typhus fever prevail in Metz, and a white Rag was sent out on August 30 for water, sur gi-ons and medicines. Tiie_ssater-4n tbe, Mo selle is unwholesome. - 1 Tlie same correspondent telegraphs to-day from Saarlouis: “ There is no enemy this side of tlie Meuse. Twenty thousand landwehr went hence_yestcrday. Dysentery is depopu lating .Saarbauk. A heavy sortie was made eas’ward from Metz, yesterday, and repulsed, ile.-vy cannonading at Metz was Beard here this morning.” Tli© Debt Statement.
