The work of placing iron spans
in the wooden bridge of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Ilnl
tiinore itailroail, over the Susque
hanna, is progressing rapidly. On the
!>th of July a contract was closed with
tiie I'hocnixville liridge Company for
building from three to live spans during
tiie present season. The contract stipu
lated that one span should be comple
ted in sixty days, and nnotlicr in each
ten days thereafter, if the railroad com
pany required them so rapidly. All of
the iron for span 0, having first been
put together at Plieenixville, was de
livered at Perryville on the 17th of An
gust. Tiie work of raising was begun
on tire 27th of Aug. ,nnd finished on the
5th instant, and on tiie 0th it was satis
factorily tested with five locomotives.
The other spans are ready for forwar
ding, and will be raised
necessary preliminary work can be done
here. The span is 255 feet long and 35
feet high, and weighs about 200 tons,
composed entirely of wrought iron, ex

Charles Rlx»ert Darwin, the celebrated
naturalist, was born at Shrewsbury, Eng
land, February 12, 1809. His father
Dr. Waring Darwin, F. R. S., and his
g undfather, Dr. Erasmus Darwin, F. R.
S., who was, in the beginning of the cen
tury, noted as a ski'Huil physologist and
»''»lactic poet. His chief works were the
"Botar cGarden" (in verse),"Zoonamia"
and "Phxtolog'.a."
Charles Darwin, on tho maternal side,
was Josiah Wedgwood, F. R. S., the eele
brated manufacturer of pottery. Mr.
Darwin obtained his early educotion at.
Shrewsbury school, under Dr. Butler, af
terwards bishop of Litchfield. At 10 years
of ago he entere»l Edinburgh University,
where lie remained two years. From Ed
inburgh lio vent to Christ's College,
Cambridge, taking the degree of Bachel
or of Arts in 1831. Intho autumn of that
year lie accepted the offer of Captain
Fitzroy to share his own cabin with any
naturalist who would accompany H. M.
8. Beagle in his surveying voyagt; around
the world. Mr. Darwin gave his services
to this expedition without salary oncon
ilition that ho should have the disposal
of liis collections, all of which he d».*posi
teil in various public institutions. The
Beagle sailed from England December 27,
1831, anil returned October 22,1S37. The
history and results of the voyage have
been published by Mr. Darwin in a series
of several volumes.

In 1839, Mr. Darwin married his cousin
Emma Wedgwood, and since 18J'J, lias re

searches, the rich results of which the

immunity from exacting professional

enough to insure him the leisure and
quiet necessary to the successful prose
