CRYSTAL PALACE Resignation Of M. Bar
ssstfa. The great Barnum has for once failed
He found the task Of reyiving the Crystal Pal
ace too much for even his abilities, and has
resigned its presidency. The hot weather, fail
ing health, and multiplicity Of other engage
snents, are the reasons given for his Withdrawal;
but the true cause undoubtedly was the impos-
sibility Of galyanizing the project into life
The directors accepted his resignation, and it
was resolved to finally close the Exhibition on
the slst Of October next. It was further
resolved to appoint committee with power to
dispose Of the Crystal Palace and all other pro-
perty Of the Association, deliverable on or after
the 1st Of November next.

CRYSTAL PALAcE--ITiai Of the Strength OF
Briages.--A large number of gentlemen assem-
bled, on the afternoon of the 18th inst, at the
Crystal Palace, to witness an exhibition of
strength of two models of bridges which have
been for some time displayed at that place.
The models were perfect in their construction ::
being, in every particular except as to size, like
practical bridge. They were the Arch Truss
Bridge, invented by Henry Lanergan, of Bos-
ton, and the Uncle Sam, invented iby Hammond
Howe, of Cincinnati. They were models of
bridges of $50 feet span. The models were
about sixteen feet span, and the sides about
foot high. Both were constructed of white
pine, and presented very attractive appear
ance. The Uncle Sam model weighed sixty -four
pounds, and the Arch Truss sixty -one pounds.
The inventor of the former had announced that
his model would sustain twice the weight of the
latter, or be broken in the attempt The weight
on the Arch Truss was from time to time in
creased until S004k pounds were put upon it.
The weight on the Uncle Sam was then increased
to 60l6 pounds. For few moments the bridge
sustained this immense pressure-nearly hun
dred times its own weight-but soon after the
umhers broke subsequently, about five hun
dred pounds weight more was added to the
pressure on the Arch Truss bridge, but without
It's breaking it. Its strength was not tested
iurther, In the Arch Truss bridge there are
fewer timbers than in the Uncle Sam; and, from
what can be learned, the Uncle Sam bridge
would exceed the other in the cost of construc-
ton, Quite number of engineers we're present,
and the trial was viewed with much interest

A BURNING STEAMER. -The Charleston Is. G.
Mercury, of the 18th ult., has the following

Capt. Plummer, of the schooner Virginia
Grifhths, arrived last evening from Baltimore,
reports that on Monday night last, off Cape
Hatteras, saw steamer on fire, supposed to be
loaded with cotton
From the description Of the vessel, we think
there was strong probability that it was the
iron steamer D. L. Adams, which put into this
port on her voyage from Savannah to New York,
and left on Thursday, the 9th inst, laden with
naval stores.

Later from the Plains.

The st. Louis Republican of the 9th inst. has
this intelligence:
Capt. clifton, o. S. Army, arrived in this
city yesterday from the Plains, Capt. Clifton
has been stationed at Fort Laramie for several
years. He is now on leave Of absence, and will
remain in the States for some years.
We learn generally that the emigrants for
CALIFORNIA; were getting on very well. The
most Of them passed Fort Kearny before the
10th Of June, and in very good health Some
few cases of cholera, or disease partaking of
its characteristics, had occurred among them.
The Mormons, not SO far advanced on the route,
had experienced more sickness, but their health
was improving. 1t was estimated that some
twenty thousand head Of stock were on the
route, but the number of emigrants was limited,
compared with former years. The Indians
were somewhat troublesome, but except on one
or two parties, no serious depredations had been
committed
" Squatter sovereignty was going it quite
extensively in the Kansas Territory. Pioneers
had appeared and staked out their claims on
the Nemahah, and in the neighborhood of Fort
Leavenworth great numbers of entries had
been made.
Capt Steptoe's command Of u S. troops was
getting along very we'll, although there had
been some sickness among Them His orders
are for Oregon.
The following extracts we cut from letter
of late date at st. Joseph:
A few disturbances have occurred in relation
to claims. A man near Weston had marked his
claim, when another came and Jumped it, i. o.,
sqnatted on the same piece Of land The first
one ordered him off, and upon his refusing to 90,
they rushed upon each other with axes, and
both were killed, each striking at the same in
stant--one in the jugular and the other in the
temple
We have just heard of the melancholy death
Of Mr.. David Allen, citizen of this place, and
brother law of General Bella M. Hughes
He was with party going to Oregon. AT Ash
Hollow they encamped for the night. Allen
went out to brighten guard, by appearing to
be an Indian. The. guard, taking him for one
shot him dead. He has left an interesting
young wife,
The son Of Col. Russell, Of Andrew, came
through here few days since, on his way to
Fort Ieavenworth for file Of soldiers to 20
With him to Little Blue in search of his father,
who had been attacked by party Of Cheyen-
mes and seriously wounded. All the party es.
