The Philadelphia North American has the follow ing notice of the Ure Bridge which i5 in the course of construction the Schuykll river at Fairmount:
 This novel, yet beautiful structure, is going ahead rapidly and.w be ready,tor early i'll the Spring. The bridpe itself will be composed of wood, suspend ed from wire cables. Ten cables, consisting o about 3OO wires each, are stretched from !he abutnens on each side of the river. They pass over the tops of massive grsni,e columns 90 feet high. These columns stand the tops of the abutments, andhc cables are secured on the eastern side in the solid roch and the western side by huge blocks of granite above the excavations. The cab es, as they pass the tops oi the columns, rest upon iron aXles which yield iitle as the action of the bridge needs relief.
 The distance from tine granite columns to the seen tre of the span of the inverted arch formed by the ca bles is about 350 feet. The curves, of course, vii be very beautiful. The bridge itself runs in hor- zonai line, from abutment to abutinent, cutting the curve al its base. It will be 26 rect wide, aordilg ample space for the carrase-way, and fool pailie on each side of generous width. The bridge IS simply Il platform with railings, made light and graceful IL will hang from the cables by wire ropes, securely fastened. Tho whole structure viii combine beauty, strength durability, for resles never reach IL, and the cables are incapable of decay. Repairs upon the wood work always be made with the utmost ease.
 We imagine this beautiful bridge will be the first and the only one of the kiad in this country. The greatest difficulty in its erection, should udge is securing the ends of the cables. On the Fair noun side, large and deep excavations are made in the solid rock, and huge bars of iron will attach them to it, so that nothing but conyusion of nature can dis turb them. Every precaution is taken 10 prevent the corrosive influence of both air and watar. The same method of securing the cable and protecting them from injury is pracsed on tine opposite side, except the excavations are deeper. The abutments are of granite, and rise directly from the SchuykiIl about 10 feet high. The archtect is Mr. Eet, and the expense of the bridge to the county is $50, ,000 The old bridge cost more than double that sun.

The Madisonan has the following official an nouncement,' as sose of the papers call it, relative to President Tyler's feelings toward federal whlggey. ''Let Tippecanoe and Tyler too" be sung by the whigs instanter:
 He who expects aught, except Republican Jeher- sonian administration, from the present President, (according to his own convictions of what is truly Jellersonian and rgit,) will be entirely mistaken. Neither threats speeches, letters, organized riots, public meetings, nor humbuggery, can longer prevail If politicians, who have been engaged in mlsrepre- senting the pubic acts and detanng inc private character of the President, think that their voices to be heard, in his administration of the Government
 It is not venturing too far to predict that they are most egregiously mistaken. Counsel or advice IS not asked of thcm. Nor does the President desire, nor will he have, the support of the ultra Wings if ten dered. He does not trust them. Many honest per- sons have been deceived, and this is the most painful feature connected with the late political transactions. It is to be hoped and ardenty desired that all such honest citizens may acquire correct knowledge of these matters, and their opposition to the administration. But, we frankly confess, that so far as we understand the wishes and feelings of the pre- sent Chief Magistrate, there be other relation between himself and those who have assaed him with vituperaton and abuse--who have styled hlm "purjured wretc'' and ''traitor'-who have hung and burnt him in eligy, than the most unqualified and utter indifference and contempt on his part-[ Mad isonan.
