Samuel Sneden & Co., the contractors for doing the
mechanical work Of laying ssven-foot wrought-ron
main over Hi Oh Bridge, yesterday sent comuunica-
ton to the Croton Board withdrawing from their con-
tract, and saying that they cancel their bid, alleging
that unusual delay has occurred since they con-
traeted for the work. which would protract 1t to an
incement season at increased outlay or sse cayt
over for completion till next season. The Croton
Board say that the delay has been only thirty days,
which they consider more than fair period of time
for getting contract confirmed by the Common Coun-
Gil and signed by the Mayor. The sureties will be
held for the $4,000 for which they have bound them
selves. Sneden g. Co.'s bid was %, 260 50-abOut

WEsTcHEsTER TURSER-FEsTWAL.-On Monday
last the recently incorporated TurnVerein Of Norris
ana and Mcrose celebrated its first Festival in the
woods of the Park belonging to William H. Morris,
esq The athletic games were opened with patriotic
songs by the Societies from both villages, and an ora
ton was made by Mr.. Zoeller, Germanborn citizen.
In glowing words he reminded his German-American
eompatrots and brethren Turner's that therparamount
aim and duty is to spread genuine culture, to be the
unweaying champions Of radical progress, to stand
firm around the flag of liberty, and to defy oppression,
whoever be the oppressors. In this way alone they
will not blush in shame before their compatrots and
cc-Turners in Germany. The orator foreboded the
birth Of new era, pointing to the fermentation aud
struggles for liberty shaking the various nations OF
Europe; pointing to the Emperor Of Russia enforcing
upon the mobiles the emancipation of serfs. After
praispg in noble words the blessings Of American
repubcanism, whoEe soul alone Is enlightened, and
must be 30 forever he exclaimed, "But black spot
stains the escutcheon Of America, spot Of which all
the nations of the world would be ashamed but no
the Shareholders and their Northern supporters
Then explaining in luminous and concise words the
principles of the Republican party, and the reckless
lawless conduct and assertions of Sham Democracy,
he adured his compariots not TO be Indifferent to the
political struggle going In their adopted country to
show that as long reason rules as long generous
pulsations warm the heart of man, 80 long working

THE GREAT EASTERN PREDICTED.

To fhe Editor az The ". Y. Tribune.
SIR Since the Great Eastern and everything con-
nected with her seems to be so Interesting beg leave
to say that on the Goth July 1872 took passage in
the ship Susqnehanna Capt. John Mearken, Of Cope's
Packet line, from Philadelphia to Liverpool. After
pleasant passage Of about twenty days, made Cape
Clear, and afterward saw several British steam
ers which the Captain seemed very much TO admire ~
such fine boats, aud in the course Of conversation
used to me nearly the following words "You may
not live to see them nor either, but the tims win
when sea-gong steamers will be built far larger
than you have any idea of now. They will be built
of iron six or seven hundred feet long, able TO
the Atlantic in eight days and they will be the swift
est steadiest, safest and most comfortable vessels for
passengers, that ever foated and the first will be
built in England, because there they soonest raise
the means and find the men to try the vast experiment
Although am Englisbman myself must say that
the idea of such vessel the Great Eastern may not
have been originally an English one, for Capt Near
ken said good deal and spoke very positively the
subject. believe he is now dead and gone, but his
prediction is verified, and believe that his idea of
great steamer correct in every point. l have
crossed the Atlantic many times, and have been
board the Great E stern and examined her thoroughly.
fully believe that she the Atlantic in eight
DAYS, that she is the swes strongest safest and un-
der proper management the mOst comfortable ssaboaf
for passengers that ever was built. If there were Q
euicent depth of water for her fully loaded at New
York and Liverpool running as passenger and freight
boat between those two points, she would pay. For
passengers, she would certainly have most decided
preference all other vessels. The trade betwee
America and the British Isles lie large enough now to
proftably employ the Great Eastern. The only ques-
ton s there two ports at which she enter and
still get her necessary share of that trade T.J.
