Wheeling Bridge.

The Pittsburg Gazette publishes a des
patch to the effect that Chancellor Wal
worth has decided that the bridge at
Wheeling must be elevated, the cos. of
which elevation he estimates at two hum
bred and eight thousand dollars. If this
opinion of Commissioner Walworth who
was simply appointed to take evidence in
the cause, shall be sustained by the SUI
preme Court, the decision may be consid-
cred as involving the destruction Of this
magnificent work for the necessary sum
for making the proposed alterations can
hardly be raised. We differ totally from
the conclusions Of the Commissioner that
the bridge is an obstruction to navigation
except perhaps in few instances where
boats We're built in Piusburg, since the e.
rection Of the bridge, expressly with refer
ence to their incapacity to pass under the
bridge, in order to get it pulled dowr-and
we trust it may long remain as monu-
ment of art, and an incompatible convc-
nicncc to the public.

rhe 22nd i'm New York.

The N. Y. Journal of Commerce Of
Monday contains glorious account ofthe
celebration in that City Of the birth day OF
Washington. Gen. Foote was the Orator
for the occasion, and his address, says the
Journal was conceived in excellent TASTE
and received with great satisfaction.
The dinner took place in the ballroom
of Niblo's Theatre, the Mayor presiding,
and before the announcement of the regu-
lar toasts, numerous letters We're read from
distinguished persons,among them the Pres
idens, Messrs. Webster, Clay, Cass, and
numerous divines, all breathing the purcst
patriotism and expressing most earnest
prayer for the preservation Of the Union.
Altogether il was most brilliant affair and
well worthy Of the occasion.
