TIE Bonncr Of the Times thus discourses
in regard to perfect nuisance which pub
fishers Of newspapers have some times to
encounter:
"It seems that piece Of poetry which
we published some weeks since, as original,
entitled "The Spirit Of Progression,' and
signed "Truth," was stolen piece OF
property.
Mr. Truth had you been in truth a
truth-loving man, you would have spoken
the truth in this instance. But to tell the
truth, 1 think man lies when he says he
wrote what in truth he did not write.
Another bit of truth is that we don't like
to be humbugged and insulted in this man
ner, and you'd better look out"

after all, that tobacco is not blessing in

SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER THE ONO. AZ
WHEELING.-From the report of the enein-
eer who has charge ofthe Wheeling Suspen<
sion Bridge, we derive the following facts.
The span of the bridge from centre to centre
OF the supporting towers is 1910 feet, which
Is I52 feet longer than the bridge at Friburg
IN Switzerland, the longest span hitherto
constructed. The height of the flooring ii
" feet above the low-water beach OF the ri-
yer, and % feet above the highest food ever
known, except the celebrated one Of 1884.
Ihe,tOwers over which the suspension chains
pass are built upon the abutments, and that
at the eastern side rises 1881 feet abo.a
low-water, and 60 above the abutments; ths
other tower varies slightly from this meas
urement The wire cables which support
the flooring are IL in number, 1890 feet
long, and inches in diameter These cas
bles rest on iron rollers, placed on the SUM
mits of the towers, the movements of which
will relieve the towers of the strain conse-
quent upon the contraction and elongatioa
of the wires, occasioned by the changes Of
temperature. The flooring is "a feet wide,
divided between a carriage way Ia feet.
and two footpaths of 81 ieet each. The
length of the woodwork resting on the
cables is 960 feet, and its weight is SAG
pounds per lineal foot. making a total OF 524 =
i6O pounds, or 262 tons. In each cable
there are $50 strands Of No. 10 wire. The
weight of each lineal foot of the IL cables,
which are Composed of &, 600 strands, is $50
pounds, making, with the weight OF the TIM
bers, holds, &C., total of 920 pounds per
lineai foot, or 63l tons as the permanent
weight of the bridge. But, in addition 10 It's
own weight, it is intended to support the lar
gest weight that can be brought upon il at
one time. If filled from one end to the other
with double row of heavy wagons used on
the National Road, it is calculated that an
additional weight of about 600 tons might
possibly be brought upon it. But it is as
certained by a machine, that the aggregates
strength of the 5000 strands of wire compo-
sing the IL cables is $50 tons, so that they
will in an ordinary state of the bridge be ca
pabe of supporting five times the strain
which they are actually called upon to bear;
and when the platform is filled with loaded
teams they will have the power Of resisting
three times the strain produced by the bridge
itself, and three times the additional strain
produced by the teams. The anchorage Of
the bridge is formed on the Wheeling side BY
very heavy anchoring-irons, which are enl-
beded in the earth and surrounded on all sides
by ponde pile of massive masonry. On
the island side, continuous links Of wrought
iron are mbedded in the massive wing walls.
so that there need be no apprehension Of
failure in this portion of the structure. This
bridge was built by joint stock company.
