The Burning of the Long Bridge.-We re

The Burning of the Long Bridge.-We re-
peat what we intimated yesterday that the partial
destruction Of the Long bridge, on Monday, was
supposed TO be the work of an incendiary.
Yesterday morning, Major B. B. French, IN The
capacity of both Commissioner of Public Buildings
and justice of the peace, examined Witnesses IN
relation to the subject and the result supports that
supposiiion, in our opinion
William Leach, draw-keeper, said: " AT half
past eight o'clock, | opened the draw, to let the
steamer Samuel Gedney, having in tow large
schooner, pass mp. Within fifteen or twenty
minutes after the passage of the steamer, while
was in the house, on the bridge, the southern side
of the draw was discovered on fire, and raised
the northern draw. There ras no rubbish Of any
Kind uader Tie draac, as we have always kept II
Clean it being necessary to do SO to have the draw
work. AS Mr.. Leach "saw no suspicious person
about the draw during the morning" ne Mti&s
the bridge may have taken fire from the steam
boat. The flames, he says, "spread rapidly.
Frederick Knight, another draw-keeper, testified
il was not more than six or eight minutes from
the time he passed the draw, before he saw the
bridge in flames;" and Charles Cumberland also
draw keeper, says: city the quickest fre anu
tie blacklist smoke Ierer sac"
The commissioner has commenced arrange
ments for repairing the bridge, which, it IS propa-
BILE, will be in passable condition in the course OF
three months.
The Six Steam Frigates.-The following COM
munication from the mayor of this city confirms
the report that one of the six steam frigates IS to
be constructed at our navy yard. We also learn
that one or more engines for the remaining i've
steamers are TO be built here, this being the only
navy yard in the country which is provided with
ample means for their manufacture.
aMAyoRs OFFICE,
