pile-driping, matter which, in the opinion
of good practical men and engineers, ought
10 have been avoided by increasing the span
of the bridge-excavating the banks Of the
creek, and securing good foundation in
the tenacious clay which is found in its
sides. This was done at the Anderson
bridge.
Mr.. Saunders says that the abutments
were finished in June and have been re-
ceived. In the opinion of good bridge
builders they are very far from being COM
pleted without extensive wing walls, they
can never sustain the heavy fill which their
intrusion into tine bed of the creek and
great hight, will require. Practical men
predict the first heavy rise, after the fill is
made, will tumble them into the creek, and
the extravaganza cost of this structure will
be total loss to the county. .
Weinvite the citizens of the county to
visit the location, and examine these splen-
did specimens Of engineering, of
folly and extravagance,--and SEQ whether in
these narrow walls of rock, they have got
ten the worth of their money. Let them
reflect while viewing them, that the sum of
$4,000 expended upon these lettering, ILL
based structures would have been sufficient
if permitted by tax collector to have re-
remained in their possession-to have erected
factory to run 1000 or 5000 cotton spin
dies, which would have employment to hun
dreds of idle hands and an impulse to the
business of the city. Engineering errors
are costly mistakes to those who foot the
bills. Poor engineering is. worse than no
engineering at all. The amount which
must now be expended on the superstruc-
ture and fill would have built good bridge
at the Salt Well and made the old bridge at
the mouth, secure for more years to come,
than any prudent man will insure the
Franklin Bridge to stand, for premium of
80 per cent of its cost. ..,.

The canal boats Morgan and Princes both
passed the Summit level on Saturday, and
have arrived here with cargoes from Peters
burgh. The canal is now in good order
from here to Toledo. We understand from
Mr.. Lawrence that he has over 300 tons of
freight on the way from the lake. Shippers
might now, we think, order their heavy
freights by the way of canal, without fear of
any undue delay. The work is now i'm bet
ter condition than it has ever been. A new
era in our canal navigation has, we trust,
begun. is %, +olll.o-,, f.i e,a.- E..
We understand that the calls of so per
cent. on the subscriptions to the canal have
been promptly paid, except those on four per-
sons in this city, whose obligations amount
to about Sll00. The calls of so per cent.
on this sum, with the water rents now due,
would liquidate the balance due for the re-
pairs, and leave the Board Of Managers near
ly free Of debt. 1t is Notifying that some
of our own citizens should be the only
ones to repudiate n, contract that has
resulted in 50 much good to the city. The
whole cost Of repairs to the Lower Division
of the canal has been about $4,000; most
Of the work has been done at nearly half the
estimates made for it by the Trustees. The
leaks along the whole line have been thor
oughly and effectually stopped, and heavy
waste of water thereby prevented b -as.,s
q The City Council ask the rightof filing the
public cisterns from the canal for certain
sum, with the power to grant certain privi-
liges to citizens to tap them for.private uses.
As this would deprive the canal managers
of great many smaller water rents, they
properly refused to comply, unless the city
pay over TO the canada portion of what. they
collect on the sub-leases. 49,.

The export of specie from the port of
New York from January lstto August 9th,
1854 period Of seven months-was SAL
600, 900; and from Boston about $40, ooO,-
900; making total Of $b7,o0o,OeO. The
receipts in the same period from California
and other sources have not exceeded $751;
900, 900. The difference (S2e, ooO, 00O) mas
has been drawn from the banks and the
pockets of the people. ar-AA EuEg
The banks of New York held on the list
of January last in round numbers, $2s,-
900, 900 in specie; they held on the 9th ult,
SCI, 800, 900; so that they have lost in, the
aggregate, during that time, only $780,
900, whilst the excess of exports over i'm
ports is $29,OOO,ooo, which excess was
drawn in the main from the vaults of the
New York banks. t...--. e.
The City Banks have sustained the press
ure of the foreign demand fer gold, by drain
ing, in turn, the country banks and the
pockets of the people. The difference be-
tween $1,000, 900 and SIS, o 30, 900 has been
drawn entirely from the people. In other
words, the country is just SCI, 500, 900
poorer in coin than it was on the lst of
January last. -
The Pittsburgh Gazette pertinently asks:
How long can the people stand this drain2
We are still importing goods at the rate of
four or FIVE millions a week; we are still
shipping coin at the rate of about million
a week over our imports from California
and other sources and we suppose that this
will continue as long as the interior is able
to furnish New York enough gold to keep
her bank reserves from falling below $780,
900, 900. It is worthy subject of inquiry
to ascertain, If possible, the limit to this
ability; if this thing is to go ON, as it would
seem, until the resources OF the country are
exhausted. it would be well enough for
those who are devoting themselves specially
to financial affairs to look little ahead and
be prepared for the possible results of that

Of small amount, and was confined almost exclu.
sively to retail business in the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line Of Goods has become
an almost indispensable part Of the stock Of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city TO
the cross-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this has not been produced except for
the best Of reasons. Among these are the great
saving Of material by cutting a large quantity of
garments together-the superior work and speed Of
sewing machines in manufacturing great saw.
