THE LOST STEAMsHIP.-The master CT the
Baldor, now lying in Princes dock, on his
voyage hither from America, reports having
encountered immense icebergs, in some
instances of three and four miles in length.
For several days he experienced the great
est difficulty in steering clear of these i'm
pediments, but succeeded in evading them
although in a higher latitude, and under less
favorable circumstances, he might not have
been equally successful. The result of
coming in contact with one of those icebergs
in a low latitude, is, in the majority of in
stances, extremely disastrous, as, from the
warmth of the temperature, large portions
Of the icy rock are occasionally detached,
and in their fall crush all beneath.
The master observed, in the course of his
voyage, a steamer, which from the period
reported, was imagined to be the missing
City of Glasgow, but which he himself
asserts was in every respect unlike that
Inflated vessel. After passing the icebergs.
he observed a steamer, apparently deserted;
no steam up, no signs made, and evidently
in a sinking condition. He altered his
course so as to intersect that of the steamer
which seemed to be under no guidance, but
he missed her, after having been within two
miles distance, and though he did not see
her go down, he has no doubt that she could
not have escaped laundering. Her rig, he
says, was entirely unlike that of the City of
Glasgow, and she was painted black outside,
and white, or cream color inside. There is
hardly a vestig e of hope that the steamer
named can have escaped.

The WHEELING BRIDGE.-In reference to
the ecent destruction of this magnificent
structure:
The Pittsburg Journal states that Mr..
Ellet, the engineer who planned and super
vised the construction of this bridge, was
distinctly forewarned Of this disaster. Mr..
Roebling, a competent engineer, made a
report to the company, offering to build
them a suspension bridge, 112 feet high
from low water mark, with a pier near the
island, at a cost Of $4,000. The company,
however, accepted Mr.. Elects plan for a
lower bridge and longer span, at a cost Of
S225.O0O. Mr.. ,Roebling warned the CON-
pany that MI. Els plan would fail, and pre-
dicted that the bridge would be destroyed
by a violent storm.
The Wheeling Times states that at a meet
ing Of the directors of the bridge company,
It was resolved to proceed to erect the
bridge forthwith, and expresses the opinion
that the city authorities and railroad CON-
panies will unite in making it safe and
suitabie for locomotives as we'll as general
travel. The wreck of the old bridge has
been 50 cleared as to admit the passage Of
steamboats,.
