~ The Niagara railway suspension
brdge-tLat triumph of engineerng-is now
completed. When first projected, it was de-
cared by 10 less an authority than Robert
Stephenson TO be impracticable; and even
when lis construction was somewhat advance
ed, he gave it MS his opinion, that though
light carriages might pass over, it would in.
evitabIy break down beneath the weight of
railway train. The most peculiar fact just
now is, that the engineering world now de-
clare, that had the same principle of con-
struction been applied few years ago, the
Britannia tubular bridge overe the straits Of
Menai, in England, by Stephenson, might
have been dispensed with, and the end be
accomplished Mt one third the cost.

ANY one who reads the following can no
longer entertain any doubt as to the trans
portation of paupcrs by the German Govern
ments TO America. The subjoined order on
the subject was lately issued by the Govern
ment of Wurtemburg.
"Whercas it has been repeatedly represen-
ted to us that German emigrants in America
and among them emgrants from Wurtem-
burg, who either on account OF sickness or ln-
capasty TO labor desire TO return to their ma
tive land, are forwarded by the German En-
igration Society inNew York; and whereas
il is undesirable that those who have en-
igrated, and particularly those who have been
sent to America at the expense OF the State
or communes, or whether 1t be owing TO their
own fault or not, should returnto their ma
tive country to become burden upon the
State or Of communes which in such cases
would have entirely thrown away the cost Of
transportating them; and whereas especially
the American authorities can scarcely feel
authorized to send back persons who have
once been permitted to land, for no other
conse than mere lack of success, and still
lcss can the German Emigration society
have the right to demand the return OF such
persons, therefore all proper steps are to be
taken to prevent the sending back OF such
individuals

have Seen:
PoLLYANTncs-A CANAL LYRIC.
In the clear pellucid waters
OF the deep and turbid Erie.
Erie deep and long aud winding
Gift of the immortal Clinton
Floating on the ten mile level,
just above Canajohaire,
Laid the seow boat Pollyanthus,
Pollyanthus deeply loaded,
With potatoes, flour and apples.
Pork and beet, and corn and so forth,
Now her Captain was "a peeler,"
Methodistic, brave, heroic,
Ills complexion was cadav'rous,
Looked like oil aud snuff commingled,
And his figure long and lankey-
Long and lankey, and slapsided-
(Was the style of our Long-Feilote)
Good conductor for electric
Fluid that with force tremendous
Prostrates everything instanter.
IL was summer, it was evening,
And the boat was floating onward,
Onward drawn by two John Donkeys,
Onward to her destination;
And the Captain in his cabin,
Had just finished up his playing
"On harp Of strings one thousand;
And the lovely cook, Melinda.
Dressed discreetly, neatly. sweetly,
Had done singing that fine stanza,
'P0lly Put the Kettle on
When the crash of breaking timbers,
Timbers breaking with noise like
That of all the rolling thunder
Of ten thousand kettle drummers,
Or the noise of wailing infants,
Christendom has ever furnished:
Trouble with a cough and hopping.
Do you ask me what that noise vast
Why those timbers, stout aud sturdy,
Broken were Ike piple stems smashed
Why the Pollvanthus quiveredi
Why the Captain, naught affrighted,
Took a reef around the tiller,
And with strength quite herculean,
Overheard the cook stove throwedl
Why Melinda, crying sadly,
Prayed for her dear life preserveri
And was answered by the bowsman,
Who her waist his arm encircled
Why the Donkeys, with their heads down,
Upwards kicked above the tracesl
| will answer | will tell you,
That the boat had struck a boulder,
And the water now was pouring,
Pouring into all the openings
OF the hull Of Pollyantlius,
And her cargo of potatoes,
Pork and beef, and flour and apples,
Was in danger, fearful danger,
Owing to the nature of the
Damp and wet aqueous fluid"
In "A moment, without warning,
Suddenly the Pollyanihus,
Never minding ''the expenses"
Which the act would sure engender
Suddenly went down stern foremost.
And the Captain, long and lankey,
And the lovely cook, Melinda,
Likewise her devoted lover,
Were, alas, untimely drowndedi
