Britannia Bridge hailed as a new wonder of the world
A correspondent describes the Menai Strait crossing and the Britannia Bridge design by Robert Stephenson. Two iron tube arches, 130 feet above water, rest on granite piers with massive stone walls and lion ornaments. The project uses eight tubes totaling about 7,600 tons of iron, with masonry by Nowell and Co. and completion hopes set for 1848.

Shadow on the Clouds and The Lieutenant's Daughter
A literary chronicle review flags the first tale Shadow on the Clouds as a study of a stern father, delicate youth, and growing virtue, while The Lieutenant's Daughter is deemed unsuitable for female readers. It also covers satirical works on money and a critical note on London street fronts and architecture, praising or condemning manners, design, and taste in an eclectic periodical survey.
