TnE WHEELlEG BRDGE.--The WashiDg-
ton correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun siys
that the public attention will soon be called
8. Supreme Court and the legislative branch
OF the government, in the Wheeling bridge
case. The Court, by decree al il late
session, after rehearing Of the case, de-
creed that the bridge should be removed as
an obstruction 10 navigation, or elvated
to certain height, and they allowed GER
tain time within which the bridge company
should comply with the terms Of the decree.
Congress, in the late session. and after the
adjournment Of the Court, constituted the
bridge post road, with view to save the
bridge and evade the decree. They under
take to legalize what the judiciary has de-
cided to be- nuisance.
/ In February, the U. s. Marshal will pro-
ceed to execute the decree, and summon
posse, and, If need be, call upon the Presi-
dent for military all The Governor Of Vir-
/ ginia, on the other hand, will resist the
execution of the decree and employ the mi
1 litia for that purpose. There is clash Of
authority between coordinate branches of
the government and in which States are
deeply interested on one side and the other.
Whether Congress or the Court is to yield is
the question
The WEsTERE ART UMos.-We learn
from the Cincinnati Gazette thatthe drawing
of the Western Art Union, advertised for
Tuesday evening last, did not take place, but
was postponed to next Wednesday. From
the tone of the article, it would appear that
the Art Union is not in as good condition as
might be wished, which is attributed to sew
eral causes. II is added that the receipts
from two hundred and fifty additional subscri-
bers will relieve the present embarrassment
and the institution may be saved.
OHIO LEGIsLATURE.--On Wednesday, the
House was not in session. In the Senate
nothing Of any Importance was transacted
We received no letter from our correspon-
dent, who, we suppose, has joined the mem
bers in keeping the holidays. a#
FIRE--LOss of Life.--On Sunday last, the
Louisville paper mill was destroyed by fire,
and two persons were killed and nine or ten
wounded by the falling of one of the walls.
The loss is about S3a 900, Of (which S25, ,OOO
was covered by insurance.
tsTThe New York Commercial, referring
to the report thtt Russia had fitted out ar
f expedition for Japan, says: "We think i
most likely that this expedition is designet
, to cooperate with the scientific corps ap
pointed by. the Russian Government to sur
, vny the coasts Of Kamschatka."
; LATER FROM AusrRALGA.-The Canada
brings news little later from Australia.
OF the New South Wales mines the Bin
CARA fields were exciting the most special
attention Gold was being found in large
quantities and of character similar TO that
Of Mount A lexander. 1t was expected that
900 licenses would be taken out for Sep
tenber. No particulars are however given
of the yields of these diggngs, which it ap.
pears are about $50 miles from Maitland
They are Tor the present confined to the
tableland at the head of the Bingka anC
Courangoura creeks. and up to the end o.
August the diggers had only been surfa'
cling. ...-.. ......., .s .. .
Very little gold had reached Sydney in
the last days of August and the first days o.
} September. 1t appears that the roads are
so thoroughly impossible that no escort car
traverse them for many mles;-but smal
parcels are now and then sent by private
horse transport. Thus, $50 ounces came
from Braidwood, 60 ounces from Majors
creek, 1872 ounces from Sofala, 5 ounces
from Bathurst, and IL ounces from Hartly.
The Unicorn, which sailed on the 22d o
August for London, had only the smal
) quantity of .557 OF. OIL board. Two steam
ers arrived from Melbourne, had brought il
considerable quantity of gold; the Yarri
Yarra, which arrived on the 29th Of Angus
brought 1000 ounces to Sydney; and oil
: the Considia on the 29th, 5000 ounces =
l The armed escort had brought on the 3ls
, August, from the southern Diggings, 81
ounces. .....-..-. .... ........
A list of the quantity Of gold shipped b
the different houses at Sydney from the frs
discovery to the end of August, is published
$ which amounts TO 6lS,069 ounces. Th
value OF the shipments at the colonial pric
is estimated at about E2 100000 Tn
price of gold was Cos for Braidwood aud Tt
o ron, and CTS Cd aud 67s Sd for Victoria.
: The Chusan sailed for Adelaide aud Syd
: ney lst Sept. and had about 500 ounces {
gold for London, 900 ounces for Singapor,
u and 5000 specie for the banks at Adelaide.
