GAULY BRIDGE Blu RNED.


This splendid work, The pride ot western
Virginia, was, on the morning of the 18th
inst, completely destroyed by fire. Az
unusual light lIom the western extremity
ofthe bridge, was first discovered by Mr..
hlancer, who was in bed in his house on
thr west side of Gauly river at about one
O'Clock and before ne could dress aud
summon aid, the bridge was entirely en-
vrloprd.in flames, and his own house was
IN imminent danger. 1t was the work of
mcfndlarles. Two men have been appre-
hended IN suspicion, and are now in the
jan OF this county, awaiting their farther
examination, by the called court, which has
been summoned TO meet for that purpose
on M"nda, next.
THIS bridge was on the James and Kama
VIVA road, aud cfost Gauly river just above
lis Junction with the New or Kanawha ri
'tr. II was al feet in length, built OF
wood, entirely covered, and was sup
ported by two stone piers of excellent
workmanship. The whole, cost about
$4,000. The destruction of this bridge

Phiiadelphia Oct. 5.-The annual exhibition of
the Franklin Institute commenced yesterday In the
Masonic Hall The articles exhibited are various
and OF the first order of execution. The cut glass,
lamps. cabinet ware, cloths and other articles rival
any thing Of the kind ever imported into the coun
try. The porcelain from the New Jersey factory
is entitled to particular notice not so much on ac-
count of its beauty, out nasmuch it satisiacto-
rily establishes the point, that the time is not lar
distant when we shall no longer be Indebted to
France or England for our china ware. This sam
pie Of The Jersey ware is entitled TO the highest
commentator, when we take into consideration the
vast expenditure OF time and money devoted to
this subject in France, before the art OF manuiac
turing the ware brought to its present state of
excellence. The pianos, marble mantles, cotton
goods, oil cloths, and carpeting are entitled to the
notice of the yisi,er Aurora.
