AMERICAN MEoHAEIcs ABRoAD.-A cores
pondent ofthe Philadelphia North American, wri-
ting from St. Petersburgh,. Nov. 90, SAYS 'You
will be somewhat surprised to learn that the A.
merican mechanics here have taken the contract
for constructing the immense bridge across the
river. Among the most prominent men in this
affair is Mr.. A. Eastwck, ofyour city well known
at home for his mechanical skill We do not ex-
pect to finish the work till the year 1851. We
have been delayed somewhatin our operations by
the Government movements in the selection of
the exact site of the bridge. When finished it
will, can confidently predict, be the most mag
nificent structure OF the kind in Europe, and that
is saying great DEAL when you think that the
credit attaches entirely to American skill"

THE IMPERIAL PREsIDENT.-A correspondent
Of the Courier des Etas Unis states that President
Bonaparte, in one of his letters which preceded
the resignation ofthe Minister of the Interior, M.
Leon de Maevie made use of this language:
IA man who, last Sunday, if he had chosen'c could
easily have caused himself to be proclaimed Em-
peror, has clearly right to declare and enforce
his will" M. de Malleville persisted in refusing
compliance with the Presidents demand, but sent
m his resignation, accompanied with this reply:
1T is possible that the President of the Republic
had last Sunday every facility to cause himself to
be proclaimed Emperor, but am convinced, that
although proclaimed he never could have been
Emperor, for he would not have found single
man of any worth who would have consented to
take part in such a revolution

The Prescription Of the Procribcrs

The N. Y. Express has the following
pertinent remarks on this subjects:
The Wings, since 1928, have been a
prescribed party. They have, from the
advent of General Jackson's adminstra.
ton, been hunted down and driven out
of place, not only as if they were on
emies of their country, but as if they
were infdels or dogs too miserable for
the country to hold. In 1910 they sue
ceeded in obtaining power, but the recre-
ancy ofTyler robbed them of all the hon.
ors and emouments TO which they were
entitled; and thus for twenty years full
one half ofthe people ofthis country have
been hunted out of office and run down
by the other half, with an utter ndlfer-
ance to their claims, rights and privileges
as freemen, living under free govern
ment. Now, it is not to be expected
that such state of prescription will be
continued, or is to be endured, or that
Gen. Taylor will not change it at all, as
soon as there can be change with reason
and decorum. We do not wish nor be-
lieve that Gen. Taylors will be pros
criptive administration; but we do believe
that he will restore to full one halfof the
people their lost rights, and take them
from under the bin of excommunication
which power has laid upon them full
twenty years.
Twenty years of prescriptions is the
prescription of a whole generation of
men, and yet under this prescription this
generation have lived We have seen,
and seen with necessary submission, the
injustice inflicted upon us of taking men
for foreign missions, and high places at
home, without any proper qualification,
when the country was full of Wings ev-
cry way qualified to fill the vacancies
happening or created, and prescribed
only because they were Wings. No mat
ter, indeed, how humble the place, be it
even the sweeper ofotfices oft Custom
House, no Wing could hold it,not thai
was not honest or capable, but solel
cause he was Wing. From SUI
state of things we are of course as
emancipated now, by the election Il
Taylor, as were the Roman slave(
emancipated by their masters. s%lN

AERIAL NAvlGATIoN.-The Tabernacle was
filled on WEDNESDAY night by crowd anxious to
hear the lecture and see the operation of the new
Aerial Locomotive. The model which was a.
bout ten feet in length, was tolerably successful.
Sometimes it pOutd get too near the gas-lishtS of
the gallery, and once or twice it was in danger
from the canes of meddling spectators, 1t did
not make complete circle through the air, but
obeyed the rudder with sufficient exactness to
show the practicaby of the plan. We under
stand that machine ofsuificient size to carry two
or three persons is now being constructed. This
