Iudpe Pollock.

The following letter from Judge Pol
lock 70 the editors of the Commonwealth,
will set aside all the speculation of press
es in the State, concerning the intended
resignation of Judge Pollock:
MILTON, April 24th, 1854,
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 18th
inst. has been received. The rumorS OF
my contemplated withdrawal from the
Gubernatorial canvass, to which you re-
fer. are without the slightest foundation
in fact. and certainly were never author
lied by me. | DO not know their origin;
their design is more apparent. Having
accepted the nomination conferred, under
circumstances so hattering to myself and
cordially approving the Resolutions OF
the nominating Convention, l have Meth
er the will, nor the right to decline. l
am prepared to meet the responsibilities
of my position, and to sustain the issues
made by the Convention. The sale OF
the public works is a measure demanded
by every consideration Of interest and
public policy, and ought not to be pre-.
vented or delayed. Opposition to the
Nebraska Bill, is the duty of oyery friend o.
freedom and the rights Of man. Patriot.
ism, national filth and every principle o
humanity, protest against the cractmen
of such law. Let the people speak; pol
iticians must hear and obey. Truth vii
triumph, although vaulting ambition ma,
overleap itself. But 1 will not enlarge.
Accept my thanks for your kind ex
preston Of regard, and believe me to be
Yours Very Truly,
JAS. POLLOCK.

SGia Gf the Main Line,

The Secretary of State Of PcnnSylya-
MA, in accordance with the law recently
passed, invites proposals until the first
Monday Of July, for the purchase of the
Main Line Of the Public Works. No
bid viii be received for less than ten NIL
Ian Of Do5larS. Ia consequence of the
reduction Of tolls by the Canal Commits
sioner5, it is feared that no sale can be
effected. The bill authorizing sale al
lows the purchasers to charge the same
tolls as those charged by the State. The
Canal Board, however, very unexpected
ly reduced the rates Of charges about
twenty per cent. before the bill was sign
cd by the Governor, and had become a
law-snd thereby frustrated the design
Of the Legislature. To remedy the evil
consequence Of this unforeseen act of the
Canal Boar d, bill was introduced near
the close of the session to empower the
company purchasing the line to increase
the tolls ten per cent This bill went
through the Senate and was sent to the
House; but that body refused to proceed
to it consideration, BY this reduction Of
the toll sheet, the Canal Board have not
only jeopardized the sale of the Main
Line, but have caused vast reduction
of the State revenues. The truth of the
matter is, the State plunderers are de-
terminod that the public works shall nat
be sold if they can help it, and Governor
Bigler backed them up in this righteous
resolution. To get rid of the public works,
therefore, it first becomes necessary to
drive away the vultures who prey upon
them. The managers of our public i'm
proyements are like the horse -leech's
daughters-their cry is-'giye, give but
they are never sati6ed.

Novel anj Simple Cure for Blindness.

An American in Paris communicates
the following to the Ereuia2 Post Of this
city: I witnessed, the other day, the
treatment Of some blind patients in the
Hospital Of the IGyalids, which was new
and curious to me. The simple steaIning
for half minute, or until little warmth
was felt, of the vapor of hydrocyanic acid
in small phiaI held to the eye, was all
that was done. This process is said 70
cure the various diseases of the eye as il
by magic. One child had been totally
blind from six days old; had been taught
to read on the raised letters by the hu-
name system taught in the blind school;
but it could now see these letters, and it
was a curious phenomen on to behold
could equally read them by touch and
sight The only difference was singu-
lar alteration in the tone Of voice and
pronunciation when reading in the two
ways-that by the eye being far more
natural, and like the usual reading to
which we are accustomed, than the other,
which was monotonous, aud with an air
of difficulty even amid the singular read
mess acquired by this method Other
cases there were of the wonderful pro-
duction of the power of vision to those
born blind; but | will select the case OF
girl % years of age, and therefore ful-
ly capable to comprehend and to answer
any questions put to her. In utter dark
ness for thirteen years, she can now see
her way, and can distinguish counten-
ances and colors. If possible, more
marked instance of the efficacy of the cur
atiYe process was exhibited in young
man, who had worked for many years at
bookbinding. Inflammation and subse-
quent eminent treatment, lancing, &c,
had rendered him so totally blind that
for some time before, and during the first
two or three attendances for the applica-
ton of the prussic acid vapor, he was O.
bliged to be led But he told me that
now he could safely dispense with such
aid, and readily discern objects. A gen.
tleman from Canada had been afflicted in
one eye with cataract and blindness for
ten years. His remark to me was, that
when he first came to England he could
not, with the diseased eye, distinguish q
COW from a horse. He could now see
pretty we'll

The New Hone nelaware Bridge

We have heard says the DOylestowu
hbHiscnccr, frequent inquiries as to what
resulted from the sale Of the New Hope
Delaware Bridge, which was made last
winter by the Receivers. We now un-
dcrstaul that the persons who purchased
il have neglected to comply with the CON
ditions Of sale, by failing to make the
second payment; and thus forfeited their
right to il, and have allowed it TO revert
to the Receivers. The amount paid down
at the time Of sale, We understand was a
bout ten thousand dollars, which sum Is
OF coarse forfeited.
