Even after he had permission to return 10 h;s

OF Peer OF France BY Louis Philippe, he did
not hold the high military appointments, or re-
ceive the first military honors 10 which be was

of his services. II remained for the nephew
OF the emper0l to confer the staff of Marshal

A FLYING RAILROAD BRIDGE.--The Scien.
tiic American states that C. b. Hutchinson,
Of Waterloo. New York, has intenied, and tax.
en- measures to secure apatent, for a valuable
| improvement on railroad bridges for navigabIe
| waters. The object of the invention 10 to have
bridge perfectly open and free al all times, for
vessels to pass, except the few minutes re-.
quired Tor train passing over, and TO carry
over trains expeditiously and safely. A cer-
tam number Of piers, or abutments, are built
in the river, with spaces between them for the
passage Of vessels; instead of having q station.
airy platform, or roadway, extended across on
the piers. be employs flying or running plat
form, which carries the train spanning and
springing over the successive spaces between
the piers from the one side to the other--
There are tracks ofrails on all the piers, and
on the flying platform there are wheels to run
on the tracks, like long railroad car. The
length Of the flying platform is in proportion to
| the width Of the spaces between the abut-
ments, so that it will be impossible to over ba.
lance it while springing from one pier to the
other like a sliding draw. The flying plat.
form is stationary at one side or the oiher when
| train is not passing. Ii is to be propelled
| across by having stationary power on ilself, or
to have il 30 constructed, that the locomotive of
| q train may propel it across. II may be cali

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-Timoihy Brien and 60
others were arrested at New York on Sunday
on a charge Of disorderly and riotous conduct.
A dispute, il appears, occurred between the
prisoners about some trifing matter, when the
disputants, unable to convince each other by
arguments, resorfed TO blows. A terrible fght .
ensued, in which several of the combatants
were severely injured. The residents Of the
eighborhood becoming alarmed, sent infor-
nation to the Nineteenth Ward Station house,
and force Of seven or eight men were dis
patched to arrest the rioters. When they ar.
rived at the scene OF the afffay, they were
assaied with stones, bricks, and other Ipiaailes.
The officers, however, succeeded in oyerpow-
ering them. and placing them in close custody.
