An Old sailor in Distress.-we yesterda,


luded to a little occurrence of Friday afternoon
speaking of an old man, coatless and hatless who,
while stealthily attempting to commit larceny al
a cake and fruit stand, Internationally staggered
against il, upsetting the Injuries on the pavement,
and causing the apples 10 roll at rapid rate,
some Of them into the gutter, 10 the evident dis
pleasure Of the humble dealer in the attractive
and tempting edibles, and much to the amusemen,
of the spectators. And we stated, in this con
nection, that the old fellow himself fell to the
ground, and was unable TO rise by his own wolf
ton. As sequel 10 the affair, it may now be
added that two police officers conveyed him to the
watch-house, where, after nights repose, he was
arranged before the sitting magistrate. yesterday
morning. He was in such a condition of mind
that he imagined snakes crawling around and
about him, and occasionally in apparent fright
complained that "the soldiers were in pursuit OF
him.
The poor inebriate is a sailor, aged fifty seven
years--his head, fguratively speaking, frosty
and within the last two weeks he has been in the
watch-houses five or six times. OF late he was
employed in the rigging loft at the navy yard.
He was committed, yesterday, TO the work-house
for thirty days, where there is no apple and cake
stand to overturn, and where there are no alco-
holic drinks TO craze his brain.

Bridge over Rock Creek.-The committee
on the part of the city corporation have made
their selection of the plan of bridge TO span
Rock Greek, at X street, and have awarded the
contract to Messrs Stone and Quigly, of Phadel-
phia. Upwards Of twenty proposals were re-
ceved and opened on Thursday last, several OF
them for iron structures but owing to the recent
disasters TO bridges of that material in this city
and neighborhood, within the last year, the COM
mittee resolved not again to try such experiments.
They have consequently adopted the Howe I'm
proved Patent Truss bridge, TO be built Of wood,
with an iron handrail along its entire length-one
hundred and thirteen feet The city councils APP
propriated $4,000 for this purpose, but the con-
tract price is only $4,000.
The contractors according to the testimonials
which they submitted, built the principal bridges
on the line ofthe Pennsylvania railroad, including
the splendid structure over the Susquehanna
river, and which, " in point of appearance, dura-
bility, and economy, will compare favoraby with
any works of the kind in this country"
The work will be at once commenced.
The bridge over the Potomac river at the Little
Falls, is now in the Of constructions the
same principles, and by the same contractors.
