PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1845.
Arc-DOILDIfIO TUK MONONGA.HILLA BRIDOIC.—We
are gratified to learn that the Monongahela Bridge
Company will succeed in their arrangements to re-
Wald their useful superstructure which was consumed
by the late far. There is every reason to expect that
they can succeed in having it ready for business by
the lit of December; and if they accomplish this,
they will aeserve the thanks of the consthunity, to
Aidea a berate across the Monongahela is almost in
dispensehte; - The Maeagers orbit to day . to receive
and consider plans for the new bridge, and we feel
Wyatt hiterest in their deliberation', because we are
analogs that they should erect a bridge on the most
iniprosted and modem plan of construction—one that
will otiinbine durability and usefulness, and at the same
time be an ornament to the city. The attention of
travelers nho approach Pittsburgh by the Ohio, the
Modrngabtala, and the various roads leading to this
city from the southevn side of the Monongahela river,
Will lie the first attracted by the Bridge—and though
•we would not sacrifice strength or durability in the
now bridge, to a desire to make it please the eye,
still we should like to see taste and beauty in its
construction. Although the bridges which now span
our rivers, are, without doubt, substantial and excel
lent of their kind, still, it cannot be denied that they
Present a clumsy end graceless appearance to the
observer. There have been as great improvements in
the construction of bridges for the last few years, as in
any department of industry and skill in our rapidly
improving country; and in building this new bridge
the Managers will no doubt avail themselves of the
best efforts of art and science that they can command.
W. understand that Mr ROZILING, the skilful
etesstrtactor of the new aqueduct, which he is e-
bout finishing, sill submit a plan to the Man
agers to-day, fur the new Bridge. The industry
and skill of Ma. ROEBLING, as manifested in the
building of the Aqueduct, give him an exalted
rank among the most scientific and useful men of our
coentry, to whinit be is a voluble acipshrition. , Un
der-tbe most discouraging circumstances, he bait push
ed the great public work he is now completing, and
hu produced a superstructure which, in the opinion of
men best able to judge, will establish his fame as an
engineer.
The great success of Mr Roaauxo in building the
Aqueduct, and his success is now almost univentally
conceded, even by those, who, at the outset, ttoubtdd
Ale utility of his plan, added to the fact that he will
little profit from the work, should give him a
atroogclaim on•the support of the people of this city,
and. of those who take pride in its advancement.
We feel confident that Mr. R., in submitting his
plan to the Managers, will be able to convince all who
doubt its sufficiency, if such there be, that their doubts
are illsfranided.
But few persons, that we have seen, are opposed to
wire bridges, who have given much consideration to
the plan of their construction. Some, who appear to
forget that the old plans to which they adhere so per-
tiaaciously, were once new, and, as innovations, met
the opposition of the timid and over-prudent, oppose
the wire suspension btidge because it is comparative.
iy a new invention. Others think it would do as an
Aqueduct, but, by POMO unaccountable course of rea
soning, arrive at theconclusion that it will not do for
-a bridge! For our own part, after a careful examina
tion of the Aqueduct, and a full explanation of the
principles of the wire suspension, we are fully convin
erd of its superiority over all plans now in use, and
sincerely hope the company may promptly contract
with Mr. ROLBLING.
One great inducement to employ him, is the fact
that he can build the bridge in as short a time as it
can possibly be done,—we will not say in less time than
any one else, but the fact that he has his machinery,
hands and his tools all on the spot will greatly facili-
tate his operations.
Much of his mochineny and mans of his,toels he
had to prepare for the Aqueduct, and this consumed
time. The fact that these things areal! ready, super
added to the circumstance, that he wonid need no tim
ber but snehascan casilybe procured, would render it
easy forhim to complete the work this summer.
THE NINY AQUIEDUCT.—We were much pleased
on paying a visit to the Aqueduct on Tuesday after-'
noon, to find that the work is nearly completed, and
that in the course of two or three weeks, we will have
the pleasure of seeing boats passing across the new
structure. This job, when finished, will reflect lasting
honor on Mr ROEBLING, the skilful contractor, and
will settle, not only the practicability, but the great
superiority, of the wire suspension Bridge over every ,
other plan. When Mr R. first proposed building the
Aqueduct on the plan that was finally adopted by the,
Councils, a large number of our citizens did not believe
it practicable, and were strongi) averse to the city en-
teeing upon what they considered a very doubtful ex
periment. But as it progressed towards comple
tion, they began to discover its many advantages over
the wooden structures, and now all nre warm in their
admiration of the success that has attended the labors
of the enterprising builder.
This wick, when completed will be unsurpassed.
if indeed, equalled by any thing in the country, and
will be a proud monument of the expansive views of
our city authorities, and the skill of our architects, l
mechanics and workrnett. When in surce.sful opera-
tioc it will be a mime of immense revenue to the city,
and with the annual increase of our canal trade, it
will, in tLe course of a few years, yield an uoprece
dented profit en the money .invested.
It will long be a MAPCO of pride to the people of
Pittsburgh, to remehober that their city was the firs t
tO grant adequate encouragement to this system; and
We feel certain tiustrit will be the sincere wish of eve
ry man of enlightened liberality, that Mr Roebling
may have abundant opportunitieito oraploy his talents
as successfully as he has in the coustructien of the
Pittsburgh Aqueduct.
Hon. J. Thompson, of Mississippi, who was
appointed by Guv. Brown to fill the vacancy in the
Senate of tho United States, occasioned by the resig
nation of Mr. Walker, has declined the afire; for tee
lobs which will, doubtle+s. be entirely satisfactory to
the Governor and people of the State, when they ore
made known. The Governer has nut made another

Britain. A n English writer say* that the school-boy
whips his taxed top:—the beardless youth manages his
taxed horse with taxed bridle on a taxed road; and

handed down to posterity on taxed marble; and then
he .is gathered to his fathers to be taxed no more.

DISTRIBUTION OF MONEYS,
For the relief of the sufferers by the kite fire
The plan of Mr Dunlop, contained in the Post of
Monday, for the distribution of the fund created by the
recent calamity, is worthy of serious consideration,
and unless one moreecceptsble tothe sufferers, be sug
gested, its adoption should not be delayed. However,
an exchange of views upon momentous questions of
public interest may not be regarded as too presump
tions. let those views or opinions come from what
quarter they may.
That Mr Dunlop's plan is subversive of the great
ends contemplated by the contributors to the fund, is
evident to the most cursory observer. And no special
pleading is required to prove that "the city aulitori
ties—fir e conpanies—fundfor futureensergencies,"
never entered into the minds of persona contributing
to the relief fund. The moneys collected were taken
up for the sufferers by the late fire—the people con
tributed for that specific object—and public expecta
tion is. that the trust fund thus contributed, will be
applied to the purposes contemplated by those who
have so liberally expressed benevolent feelings.
But the idea of a funded debt, predicated upon
loon notes, is certainly reperrant to sound policy, in
view of the rights of the sufferers to the fund in ques
tion. No portion of our citizens out of the "burnt dis
trict" may claim a present or future benefit arising
from the money specifically designed for the sufferers
of the 10,h of April. The money belong to them.—
It is their property, and they only have a right to its
enjoyment. Away, then, with loan notes— let each
have his share, and that leads to the important con
sideration of distribution.
Simplicity in matters of public policy, should not be
disregarded; people will understand plain tenths, and
be governed by them in all the relations of life.
Now, it is most manifest that the suliriers are natu
rally divided into Iwo classes. One class is composed
of the working community, without real estate; the
other class embraces persons in circumstances not in
cluded in the formerelassificarinn.
That the !obtain class should be made whole in
persona." property consistent with the tile of all, no
one can doubt. The working multitu de are Pre en
titled to relief. The other clews should barellpid in
proportion to the necessities of each case; and ifany
person should deem it too humiliating to accept a
share, the proportion of others will be greater in their
distribution of the fund.. But ears should be taken
to guard against misrrpresentations as well as to re
ject all applications from individuals who own more
than one city lot of the +tibia of one thousand dollars.
JOHN SMITH, of Roanoke.
PROCEEDINGS IN JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
Agreeably to a previous notice a meeting of the cit
zens of Jefferson township was held at the house of

OREGON EMIGRATION
We understand says the St Louis Ers, that a large
number of emigrants are congregated at Independence,
preparatory to their emigration to Oregon. There
ere two separate companies organized, and they will
start About the 20th of April. They number about
one thousand persons, and have a good supply of
wagons nod animals. All the houses in Independence
were filled, and a large number were encamped in
tents in the vicinity.
AtSt Josephs, in the Platte country, there was a
nother large company, with eisiut one hundred and
twenty wagons. They then expected to start about
the same time as the company did from Independ
ence.
Another company with about thirty-five wagons,
were assembled at another point on the river.
It was supposed that considerable accessions would
be made in these companies before their departure.
Lient. Fremont is about starting on another explo
ring expedition beyond the mountains, and onehundred
and fifty young men were at Indepetidence engaged
to go with him. They were furnished with unthiesnd
equipped for their journey. The rush of emigration
beyond the Rocky mountains will be very great, and
those who expect tojoin the company should repair
to the frontierirnmediately. The companies are very
particular to preserve the character of the expedition.
No person is permitted to join an exploring expedition
until - he has undergone an examination, and if be be
a criminal, a refugee from juatice, or a man of infa
mous character, he is excluded.
Tobacco Ckcteivg.—Ooe of the principal reasons
why the fair sex have taken such a disgust to tobacco
chewing is, that in early times ladies 13111 ed lob* brought
to the Colony of Virginia and sold as merchandise—
payment always being made in tobacco at about the
ram of pound per pound. Tobacco, consequently re.
minds them of their mail:stable condition—the "quid
pro q u o" in sales in the wife market. The repugnance
is a natural one. Pic.

The New Orleans Bee has received a copy of the Ve
ra Cusano of the 12th inst., received by the same ar
rival the news which we published yesterday, con
taining the account aim awful earthquake which des
whited the city of Mexico ea the 7th inst
At the moment we write, says the Siglo of the Bth,
the inhabitants of the capital of the republic are still
under the influence of the horrors excited by the earth
quake of yesterday, the disastrous effects of which we
ate still imperfectly acquainted with.
Yesterday, at 52 minntes past 3 o'clock P M, the
oscillations began, slight at first and then stronger.—
The direction of the motion appeared to be north and
south. It lasted about two minutes, The shocks were
terrible, like them was ever experienced before, and
the condition of the building too surely proves of all
exaggerition.
We were by chance upon the greet square at the
time, and we witnessed a spectacle not easily forgotten.
In an instant the multitude, but a moment previous
tranquil and listless, were upon their knees, praying to
the Almighty ar.d counting with anxiety the shocks
which threatened to convert the most beautiful city in
the New World into a vest theatre: of ruins. The
chains surrounding the portico were violently agitated :
the flags of the pavement yawned open, the trees bent
frightfully, the buildings and lefty edifices oscillated
to and fro, the immense arrow which crowns the sum.
mit of the cathedral vibrated with astonishing rapidi
ty. At 56 minutes past 3 the movements had ceased .
It is impossible yet to ascertain the extent of de
mi fiction. Not a house or door but bears the marks of
this terrible calamity.
At 8 o'clock last evening, seventeen persons bad
been taken from the ruins of other buildings and car
ried to the Hospital.
At three quarters past six, and a quarter past sev
en, two more shocks were felt. They were, however,
slight, and occasioned nothing but a temporary renewal
of terror.
The authorities did everything that zeal and humani
ty could suggest, to carry help to the victims. and re
store the aqueducts which furnish water to the city.
IZZEITEMO
The returns from this State leave no doubt of the
success of the democrats, who will have nearly all
the Congressmen, and majorities in both branches of
the legislature. The Richmond Compiler (whig) of
yesterday, SUMS up the result as far as ascertained, as
follows:
The whip have lost—Hanover 1, Caroline 1, Spou
t} lvania 1, Essex 1, Gloucester 1, ACCnITIFIC I. Elite
beth city and Warwick 1, Fairfax I—in all eight
Members of the Home of Delegates, and probably a
Senator in the northern neck District, to succeed Col.
R. W Carter.
They have gained, we believe, the Senator from
Hampehite, in which district Orrick is probably elec
ted over Sloan.
Our opponents will have decided majorities in both
Houses.
To Congress, thus far, we have elected but one
Whig, and he, we fear is the °idyls'/lig we shall bare.
The following gentlemen may be set down elected.

SPEECH OF LOT DOOLITTLE, ESQ.,
Member of the Legislature from New Jerusalem,
Huckleberry county, Varmovnt, on the bill for the

protection of lien twins.
Mistur Speaker:—l've sot here in my seat, and
heered the opponents of this great nashunal measure
argify and expectorate agin it till Pm puny nigh bust
ed with the indignant commotions of my lacerated sen
sibilities. Mr. Speaker, are it possible that men can
bee so infatuated as to vote agin this bill? Mr. Speak
er, 1 blush to say that ham. Mr. Speaker, allow me
to pietur to your excited and denuded imagination,
some of the heart—rending evils which ese from the
want of eortection to hen roosts in my vicinity, among
my constitutents. Mr. Speaker, we suppose it
to be the awful and melancholy hour of midnight—all
nater am hushed in repose--the solemn wind softly
moans through the waving branching of the trees and
nought is heered to break the solemneholy stillness,
save an occasional grunt in the Hog Pen! I will now
carry you in imagination to that devoted Hcn House.
Behold its peaceful and happy inmates gosdar decli
ning in balmy slumbers on their elevated and majestic
roosts! Look at that aged and venerable and highly
respected Rooster. as he keeps his silent vigils with
parental and unmitigated watchfulness over these inno
cent, helpless, and virtuous, Hens and Pullets! Just
let your eye glance around and behold that dignified
and matronly Hen, who watches with tender solici
tude and paternal congratulation, over those little juve
nile Chickens, who crowd around their ref petted pro
genitor, and nettle under bercireumarnbient wings.
Now I ask, Mr. Speaker, am there re be found a
wretch so lost and abandoned as will enter that peaceful
and happy abode, and tear those interesting and inocent
little biddies from their agonized and heart broken
parents? Mr. Speaker, I answer in thunder tones
that there am!—Are there any thing so mean nod
sneaking as such a rubber? No, ther are not! You
may search the wide universe, from the natives who
repose in solitary grandeur and superlative majesty
under the shade of the tall cedars which grow upon
the tops of the Aimmaleh mountains in the valley of
Jehosophat, down to the degraded land barbarous
savages who repose in obscurity in there miserable
wigwam on the Rock Gibralter in the Gulf of Mexico,
and then you will be as much puzzled to find any thing
so mean, as you would be to see the airth revolve a
round the sun twice in twenty-fours, withoutthe aid of
a telescope.
Mr Speaker. I feel that I have said enough on this
subject to convince the most obdurate member of the
unapproachable necessity of a law which shall forever
and everlastingly put a stop to these fort proceedings;
and I propose that crery convicted offender shall suf
fer the penalty of the law as follows:
For the first offence, he shell be obligated to suck
twelve rotten eggs without no salt on 'em.
For the second offence, he shall be obligated to set
on twenty rotten eggs until he hatches 'em.
Mr Speaker, all I want is for every member to art
on this subject accnrdin' to his consciousness. Let
him do this, and he will be remembered for everlast-
ingly by a grateful posterity. Mr Speaker, I've done.
Where's my hat.
