My opinion is, that this change con be effected for he. tweet ninety thousand and one hundred thousand dollars." . . It is not pretended that the bndfo was designed for. or ibat is adapted to, th e transit of locomotive enaine• attil railroad cam, as Mr.' Elie, the engineer who planned and nimerintentled Ito • constriretiott, says distinctly in his report to the citizens of %likel ier: "I do net Irish it to be considered as holding out any promise that the Wheeling Bridge, as it to in tended to be constmeted, can he safely tried for the passnyeef locomotive engines. - attd in armther place he trays- Tlae work is , designed expressly for common tra vel, and We vac of heavy teanas.^ Mr. McAlpine. the distinguished chief cni.Oneer of the Stam'ef New York, who was selected by Chan. cellar Walworth, says upon this subject; 0 10 eataplialwe with the inatntetiona to inquire as to the adaptation of the bridge, as now tonstrocted, to milicalporposcs, for the pasture of loaded trains of milowit cars, drawn either by locomotives or hrinies. I hare to reply, that time bridge, a. now con. attuetetl ii war adapted to oath pueporri." Thus it will Jr seen that there eau be no ohretiaa to the elevation of the bridge growing out of its suppos ed adaptation totailrond purpoets; and as the !vault ing teeonernierste, if any, to the conimerco and tra vel actors the river, by the ordinary Modes of convey ance wool) be as incormidentole the whole matter miry be , consideted as resolved into an appeal to Congress, we exercise the very delicate, not to say doubtful power, of placing if in a petition of an tepenult j . ardir • cwonlinate branch of the tin. wid nullifying one of tti icon IrdldtWes, and that wo upon the slender spotoly of. sating a few dollars to-the eichequer of a private local corporation. • The application which is now made to Con;re,,, can be regarded in no other light than as on appeal foam a wren to decision of the supreme' judicial au- Wordy of the tinier., by the toducersaftil party. who oaks the le.-mistier branch of the Government to pro tect them from' a jodgment enforeing a State com pact on behalf of erne of the States whose rights aro Invaded.

The extent and degree of obstruction is thus stated by the court : It as said thntacecii patlielaaiiithe;oisly boats obstructed' by" the bridge of the two; hundred and. thirty which ply upon the Ohio, aid rim to Pittsburgh.
