surprising as their presence; but if new

p ;ices, than not to tc furnished at all, the
price would not stick in their throats long.
Two years ago none of these luxuries
could be obtained, for love or money, and

THE New STEAM FR1GATE NIAGARA.
There is now upon the stocks at the Navy
Yard, Brooklyn, the frame of war frig-
ate, that is intended by her builder, Mr..
George Steers, to be the strongest, and
Aeetest of her class and size afoat. This
vessel is one of the six for which an ap-
preparation was made by the last Congress;
the others are now being constructed at
other navy yards throughout the country.
This frigate that Mr.. Steers is now at
work upon, is to be called the Niagara,
and will be launched sometime during
the present year. The Niagara is sharp
at the bows, something like the fast sail
ing yachts which generally take the prizes
at the match races. Her extreme length
is 345 feet, breadth 80 feet, and 81 feet
the depth of hold from the floor to the
under side of the spar deck. She is in
tended to carry II clcvcn-inch swiyil
guns.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE BRoKEN-On
Tuesday morning the handsome iron sus-
pension bridge spanning the Moquelumne
river at Winters Bar, below Campo Seco,
fell with crash into the stream below
The Immediate cause of the breaking of
the bridge, is owing to the fact that at the
time there was forty head of horses being
driven over it, and just as they had reach
ed the centre, the wires snapped and pre-
cipitatcd them into the river Some twelve
or fourteen Of the animals were found dead
under the ruins, and from the brands up
on these and those which swan to the
shore, it appears that the horses belonged
to persons residing in the vicinity of the
bridge. The two men have not been heard
of since the accident, and it is supposed
they are drowned, There is no doubt they
were horse thieves by profession, and at
the time of this occurrence were surrepti-
tiously driving off this stock.
The bridge was completed but the day
before it fell, and there had scarcely any
persons or animals crossed it prior to this
mishap. 1t was two hundred and twenty
feet span, forty feet above the water, and
pronounced not only handsome but Sc
cure structure.-U Union.

Express, of May 2lst:
Some Sacramento County Bonds have
made their appearance in our market, and
are advertised in our columns to be sold
at auction by Mr. E. c. Halliday. These
bonds have high character, and are in
first hands, the sale being made to close
an account. They bear 10 per cent in
terest, payable in New York lst of March,
and 1st September, are secured by sink
ing fund, and the interest is preferred
payment out of the County Treasury
The law authorizing the issue, passed
March 3, 1855, is rigorous one, and no
bonds yet issued from California have
been more carefully guarded by State
law than these. The Treasurer is requir-
ed to advertise for proposals annually, for
their redemption to the sinking fund on
hand. They will rank among our first
class securities.
