:. We end tho fol1owiaR sissssr particular Of the
late melancholy accident 1t St. Johns q. BY in
the Bossoa Morning Post q Monday.
"About two years since, . wealthy company
csmmeacd the constrsctioo of q suspension bridee
over the river st. John, two miles above the city.
The river At the site Of the bridge il deep and
rapid, that it was impossible to found piers be-
tween the shore abutments. The span was 500
feet, exceeding that Of any other bridge in Amer
ica, and equai 10 that of the celebrated Menai
bridge in Wales. The engineer employed was
Mr.. Warren Of New-Yofk. A series Of unto
ward accidents have been happening to The worn,
ever since its commencement. Last winter he
nearly got his main trusses over when the whole
give way. Two months ago he got his chains a.
crosse, and erected the scaffolds upon them, The
improper angle At which they were carried over
the towers, caused lateral pressure on them and
threw them out Of their original vertical position,
A fortnight since, the work was found to be in 50
critical state, and conducted improperly, that
the directors wrote Mr. Ellison, get his opin-
on the state of the bridge, and to what was
the most advisable course to pursue. Upon re-
ceving his report, they requested him to assume
charge Of the work which he did, though at the
same time expressing his opinion that there was
~ little hope Of success. He Immediately caused
new towers to be erected and got over severa
chains to relieve the old ones. There were nov
upwards Of five miles chain cables, large enough
for sloops Of war; across the towers, suspended in
+ inc centre, oO teet ABOVE n1Sn wafer Iestcruay
one Of the outside chains parted, and was soor
/ followed by the others, and 40 men were precipi
tated among the forest Of scaffolding into the IA
pids below. Nine dead bodies and one trunk,es.
head have been picked up, besides several woun
ded men, who are not expected to survive. 1t i
Mr. Eilison's opinion, and most Of the director.
. coincide with him, that there has been some fou
play; for when he first examined the work, he dis
covered several pieces Of rope yarn tied arount
he links of the CHI ins, which had been saturat CT
with acid. The ferrymcn wcre bitterly oppose,
to the erection Of the bridge, as also the WOO.
boatmen, who frequently lost the heads Of thei
masts in passing under the scaffolding. Tn
work will probably be suspended for the pre-
cnt."

FROM TEXAS AND MEXICO.

Base treatment of Col. Wharton-It is stated
in the New Orleans Bulletin, that the Convoy,
one Of Mr.. Bryan steamers. navigated the Bras
sos river high Marion. The entrance of 50
large boat over the bar and her passage up was
a novel and animating spectacle, and was greeted
bv the inh abitants on the banks with discharges
of artillery.
A correspondent Of the Bulletin, under date of
July 21st, at Matamoras, states that the treat
ment of the Hon. Mr.. Wharton. contrary to the
reports we have had, and notwithstanding the lib
eral conduct Of the Texans to Mexican prisoners
is still of the most annoying description; and it
would appear as If this government had particu-
larly singled him out to wreak their vengeance.
Since his arrival in Matamoras, he has been con-
fined in a very small room, bristling with the bay
onets of his guard, without the possibility of See
ing the light Of heaven, except through iron CRATES
denied the privilege of writing or communica-
ting with any one except his guard, dependant up
on his own resources for his daily food, not hav-
ing even been offered this last by the government,
half devoured by the feas, half safocated by the
heat, continually plundered by the guard, denied
even medical aid when sick, his regular rest en-
tirely DESTROYED at night By the horri6c screams
Of the Sentinel within few feet Of his bed, rem
derug his situation miserable in the extreme
The above is the unvarnished truth, and l chal-
lenge the old pusilanimous Gen. Filisola, who has
the command here, to deny it.
The same writer says that Cos, contrary to the
accounts we have had, no sooner landed at Mata-
moras than he commenced abusing the Texans in
the most vulgar manner There were 100
! troops at Matamoras, of which 200 are cavalry
the latter without horses.
The Commanches are said to be on the oppo-
site side Of the river, burning and destroying eve
~ thing. They have come down to within two
leagues Of the mouth Of the Rio Grande. About
three weeks previous to the date Of the above
letter, As1secs Cherokee Indians, under the com
mand Of 4 Mexican named Cortina, who resides
among them, and holds = commission under the
Mexican government, visited Matamoras- They
came, rs they had done three times before in the
last nine months, to offer their services against
the Texans. A later account states that Cogtinz
and SIX Of the Chiefs had inst been killed by .
party Of Counmanche. three leagues from Malta
moros. Gen. Cos, with 600 troops, was in pur
suit Of the Commanches-N r. Star.
