The SchuyIkill permanent bridge, as it is
commonly called, was the FIRST grea. structure
of the kind attempted in America Ii was
erected by a company incorporated in the year
1898. The foundation Of the western pier is
upwards Of 40 feet below the level Of the surface

a similar instance; The dificuie were finally

is situated in the vicinity .of that which we
have Just mentioned, is composed Of one arch;

respecting which there has been so much dis
pute, We believe was supported by pier in the
centre Of the Rhine. l, is however, no longer
in existence.
In lsl6-I7, bridge Suspended from iron
wires, forming a catenary curve, was built over
the falls Of the Schuylkll, near Philadelphia.
The success of this novel enterprise led, at a
very recen, period, to the introduction Of brldg
es constructed in similar manner, in Europe,
where the experience Of their economy has occa-
stoned their multiplication. Chain bridges
which have since Been constructed SO frequently
were introduced at the same place; several
years prior TO The commencement OF these slrnc.
lures IN any part OF Europe. ~
The wooden bridges Of Pennsylvania are
unrivalled in number, in magnitude, and in
scientific boldness of design. They have been
adopted as models for similar structures in
several parts oil Europe, where timber bridges
are required.

MiLLEpeEvlLLE, (Ga.) June 2s.-The present

be!lious Wahabees, the Greeks are armed a.

VII, VIII, even in Spain, has been soreiy per

ter having succeeded in their rebellion agalnst.
the same infallible monarch, are now out Of
pure rebellious love, cutting The throa's oil one
another; in British America, the Governor OF
Canada and the Legislature are at dasgers
points, and the authorities al Prince Edwards
Island, exhibit the same lovely sight; in the y.
States, one part of the Quakers have rrbelitd

every place putting on different appearance.
May Providence keep it from amongus. One

see breaking out in the Suuth-a rebellion a.
gainst supineness and poverty--and In order 10
promote it, we earnestly recommend 10 every
farmer TO raise all he eats, and make as much as
he can Of his apparel, while we intreat our ca
pitaiss to erect iron fpunderi-s in our noun
tains, cotton factories on our streams, rum dis
tilleries and salk works Oh our seaboard, and
10 plant vineyards and olive and almond groves
on our pine hills, which would derive addition
