THE ATLANTIc-The Buffalo Rough NoteS Of
Friday says: {" The work upon this steamer has
not advanced jot. Chains have been passed
under her stern rs before, but none have been
got under her bows, they being so deeply i'm
bedded in the sandy bottom. They are now
waiting for some submarine apparatus to come
on from New York, with which they hope to be
able to pass chains under the bows, when they
will proceed to raise her."
The Commercial Advertiser of the same date
says: "The steamer Baltic arrived from the
wreck of tho Atlantic yesterday. We under.
stand that overtures are in progress for the
steamer Golden Gate to assist the Baltic in the
enterprise. As yet no further progress than we
have formerly reported has been made.
{" Since the above was in type we hear that
Mr. Bishop has concluded to abandon the Allan
tic for the present, and that he intends to make
II trial upon the wreck of the Erie, which lies off
Silver Creek. If he secures the Golden Gate
he will Immediately proceed upon the underta-
king-if not, probably some other craft will be
obtained to the same end"
The Republic Of Saturday states that Mr.. B.
is not discouraged in the experiments made up
on the Atlantic, although they have been attend
ed with some $4,000 expense and much larger
outlay. bet. Free Press, 18th.

CLARK ST. BRIDGE.-The steamer London in
passing down the river on Wednesday night
come in contact with the bridge as it was being
opened and sunk it in mediaS res, just where
nothing could pass it, not even a canal boat -
Mr. Harper, the efficient Superintendent of Pub
lie Works in the city, commenced at an early
hour yesterday morning to clear the wreck out
of the channel and accomplished it SO far by 3
o'clock, p. NJ, that vessels commenced moving.
1t will require at least another day to repair the
bridge so that it can again accommodate the
public as poorly as it has hitherto.
The captain of the London states that he had
no idea that his boat was anywhere near the
float of the bridge, supposing that it would Of
course be carried around in an opposite direc-
ton, whereas the laundering fellows who had
the bridge in charge opened it directly against
him.
This bridge should be from its location, the
best structure and the best managed Of any up
on the river-it is just as near being one as the
other We have no disposition 10 complain
farther upon this subject for the public, until
there is some attention to the deficiencies in at
tendance, by the proper authorities.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,

The Board ofPublic Works adjourn.
ed on Wednesday evening last, after a
short session of three days. There was,
comparatively, small amount of busi-
ness transacted at this meeting. The
reports of Superintendent and Engi-
nccrs, in the service of the State, indi-
cate prosperous condition of her i'm
provemcnts now in progress. Con.
tractors have commenced work on the
Westcrc division of the Covington and
Ohio Railroad, and an effort will be
made to let to contract, during this year,
fifty miles of,he Eastern division ofthat
road. The rc.surveys Of the Greenbri'
or, Meadow River and Monroe routes
are progressing very satisfactorily
under the direction of Chas. B. Fisk,
Esq, the Engineer selected for that
purpose; and, in all probability, they
will be fully completed in December
Of course they have not proceeded suf:
iciently far TO justify an absolute COM
parison of the respective advantages
and disadvantages; but they have pro-
crossed far enough, already, to satisfy
the Board that there is practicable
route, ten miles shorter than the Green
bricr, and fourteen miles shorter than
the Monroe route as surveyed by Mr..
Shaw.
For the first time, the Board, at their
last session, appointed directors on be-
half of the State in the james River
and Kanawha company. The follow
ing gentlemen were appointed: Samuel
c. Robinson, of Botetuurt; Daniel H.
London, of Richmond; Francis B. Dean,
Jr., of Lynchburg.
The following gentlemen were ap.
pointed associate proxies, on behalf of
the State in the Dismal Swamp Canal
company; Cincinnatus W. Newton, of
Norfolk, Tazcwell Taylor, of Norfolk,
George Mcintosh, of Norfolk.
At the request of the Board, DR..
Graham their President, will, before
the November meeting, visit the North
fer the purpose oflooking into the mo-
ney market and of examining the vari-
Gus important internal improvements,
establishments for the manufacture of
Railroad cars, iron, &C., in that region
eff country. The object of this latter
examination is to put the Board in pos.
session of all the information that may
be necessary to enable them to construct
and equip, with all practical speed, du-
rability and economy, the Covington
and Ohio Railroad. The Board of Pub.
lie Works seem determined to adopt
the most energetic measures for the
completion of this great work, and we
feel assured that, if the members of the
next Legislature should be possessed
of like spirit of dispatch and wise C.
economy. in n comparatively short peri
cd, twill be finished and all of Virgin.
ia WILDE enjoying the richest and hap
picst results thercfroD,.
The next meeting Of the Board will
be held on Monday, the 7,h of Novcm'
Der next. and we advise all persons
having business with that body, either
to be here or have their communica'
lions here by that day.-Richm0nd En-

indispu,ably bad. The breach has been
widenedS the prospect of losing the
approaching State election enhanced;
and some of the very soundest national
democrats in New York placed in po-
sition of hostility to the administration.
Neither wing was clamorous for execu-
live aid. The Offices in the gift of the
Presidcn, had already beon distributed,
and the admonition to Bronson is uu al
together unnecessary re.opening Of that
fruitful source Of ill-blood.
1t is to be hoped that this unfortunate
policy will go no farther. The coun-
try looks to the President for the dis
charge of other duties, less invidious,
more momen,ous, and more worthy

counterfeit money, and who forfeited his
bail by failing to appear, was arrested

after him. We understand these gen.

honor to veterans. The prisoner was
