The Niagara railway suspension bridge-that
triumph of engineering is now completed.
When first projected, it was declared by no less
an authority than Robert Stephenson TO be i'm
practicable and even when its construction was
somewhat advanced, he gave it as his opinion
that though light carriages might pass over, it
would inevitably break down beneath the weight
Of railway train. The most peculiar fact inst
now is, that the engineering world now declare
that had the same principle of construction
been applied a few years ago, the Britannia
tubular bridge over the straits of Menai, in
England, by Stephenson, might have been dis
pensed with, and the end be accomplished at
one third the cost

| MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL RAILRoAD.--The Canton
Commonwealth, of the Oath nit, says: ''The
work on this important road is progressing
rapidly: The earthwork from this point to Big
Black, and twenty miles beyond, will be COM
pleted by the first Of January next--the con-
| tracts being nearly finished already. President
Goodman, we are informed. purchased iron for
forty-6ve miles of road in New York last sum-
mer, thirty miles of which is to be appropriated
to this end of the road, and to be laid down
during the winter. 1t is expected that this
road will be in running order, from Canton to
some point near Richmond, Holmes county,
distance of thirty miles, by the first of May
next Much credit is due President Goodman
and the officers Of this road for the able manner
in which they have managed its affairs
The link between jackson and Canton-some
twenty four miles-will be finished in few
months. The cars are already running twelve
miles out from Jackson, and the work is rapidly
progressing. The connection at Canton with
the Central Road will make a railroad commu
nication, through fertile and populous coun-
try, of nearly sixty miles, and it cannot fail to
yield munifcent returns upon the investments
| made by the liberal and enterprising stock
| holders. If our Northern Road was only com
| pleted to Jackson, the business it would obtain
| from this Central Railroad would be enormous.
1t would Immediately commence paying good
dividends, and the stock which is now held at
nominal prices would rise to par. There can
be no reasonable question of this; and, If B
dozen of our capitalists would only put their
| shoulders to the wheel in good earnest, the
means might be raised and the road completed
to the capital of Mississippi in twelve months.
But will they' We fear not. They are as hard
| to move as the pyramids.
