THE FtIGIIT OF IVA r.—The "tight of way" bill teas
reported on Monday, by the Internal Improvement
Committee of the House of Representatives without
amendment of any kind. The bill, it is believed, will
be considered in committee of the whole, berate the
close of the week. The same committee in the House
also reported the "Centre , Railroad" bill, with an
amendment, fixing a tax of tweutyfive cents upon
passengers. This tax is in addition to one of $1,15
per ton on freight pasting over the road between the
Ist of March and the Ist of December.
Tae TRITARTITt BRLDOE.—WO can ace no good
reason why objection should be mode to the erection
of tire pioposed Bridge. It the Bridge is built of
sufficient height it cannot in any manner obstruct or
injure the navigation of the river. It is urged by
some as an objection that it will he necessary to erect!
piers in the river. We presume it will be necessary
to erect piers, but we all know that the required piers ]
can be so arranged as to be entirely clear of the chan
nel, and we csnnot, thetefure, see, bow the navigation
of the rivet is to be injured. If satisfied that the erec
tion of the proposed bridge would interfere with the
navigation we would zealously oppose the measure,
but we have given the subject some attention—have
conversed freely too, with Mr Roebling on the subject,
and the facts ascertained are endrely cooclusive that the
navigation of the river will not be injured by it. Why
then should we oppose such an improvement? Its
importance to a large number of out citizens must be
conceded, and we think it quite illiberal to throw ob-
Steele 3 in the a ny of the coostmetion of the work.
We thertfure, cincerelc hope, that the Legislature
will, without delay. pass a bill authorising a company
to build the bridge.

Jewtstt Tx,strt.r. Dxsimorao.—At Avignon the
Jewish temple has been destroyed by fire, with al l
which it contained, the heaviest part of the loss being I
the sacred books, many of which were of great antiqui
ty. The collection of thy &Titer Thera ([hook of'
the Law,) was composed of 42 tolls of parchment,
and•was one of the richest in the world. This book
cantina a MS. of the Pentateuch; and, to show the
vales of a copy, we aro informed that it is at Jerusa
lem only that the RabLins may devote themselves to
this labor. Years are consutoel in the production of
one of these copies: for the slightest error, the slight
eat erasure, the most minute imperfoction or inequality
in the letters, necessitates the recommencement of the
work. The letters of the book are ciunted, and are
two minima in number. With the exception of that
at Bordeaux, the edifice destroyed is said to have been
the finest Hebrew temple in France.
Iron for the Erie Railroad.—All the iron for this

ftEacH o e find in a Locdon
paper, a report of Breactiof Pi oinise , ctise, in which
the circumsusaces ate slightly from thoac
usually cited in trials of this kind. The plena, a
female, sues her quondam love' for refusal to comply
with a contract in which he engaged to marry her in
a reasonable time, after she should have requested
him to do so. But in the meantime he bad married
another lady, and she sued fur damages—bur the case
was considered by the Court "in banto."
Thedefence woe, that the laly never did ask him to
marry him; therefore he bad violated no contract, and
was liable to pay no damages.
But the Court (Lord Denman) held, that the mar
riage of the man was self.imposed disability, and that
he had no right to take advantage of his own wrong,
by which he had rendered it impossible for him to
comply with the request, if it had been made. The
marriage itself woe, in fact, a breech of the original
contract, and clearly entitled rho plantiff to maintain
the action without alleging any request.
Justice Coleridge remarked that there had been no
attempt to show that more than a reasonable time
for making the request had transpired, and so all the
Judges concurred, and the lady will recover damages.
A noTAL BANc t urr.—A correspondent of the 8011-

TIT T T.—The following *el story of a rob
bery is richly wonhy a place in a* eilinons, We (polo
from the 'Montreal Time.: •
About three weeks since the son °fa habitant living
at. St Augestin,Riviere de Chane, having sold a pair
of oxen in town, was returning home in the evening
with his money, when in a lonely part of the road. he
was passed by a gentleman, an he supposed, in a fine
sleigh with a good hone, who immediately drew up
and induced the boy to fasten his horse behind the
sleigh, and to get in with him to enliven the tedious.
ness of tberoad by conversation. Shortly afterwards
the gentleman asked the boy if he had not sold a pair
of oxen that rimy in town, to which the boy, becoming
somewhat suspicieusanswerrd •No;' whereupon the
genilonan said he had sold them chottt sunset, and
had got the money, and that if he did not give it to
him he would blow his brains out, at the same time
pulling from his pocket a pistol.
The boy becoming alarmed pulled from pocket a
purse containing the money which fortunately dropped
on the road. Tim robber immediately jumped nut of
his sleigh, which was some yards in advance of the
purse, and run back for his longedlor treasure, when
the boy, with great presence of mind, took hold of the
reins and drove off u fast he could with both horses
and sleighs. The robber then fired the pistol; the con•
tents of which passed through the back of the sleigh
and between the boy's legs. Tho boy reached home
in safety, and afterexamining the sleigh. found in the
box of it, which was locked, the sum of three thous
sand francs—.£ 125 currency. Nn one, as might be
expected, has applied for the sleigh and horses.

chance for sport, gravely informed him that it was
about time for it, but that he would have to look sham
to see it, it went by so quick, assigning him it station
on a wood pile, and directing him to fasten his eye a
long the direct line between two of the posts. Our
philosopher obeyed instructions, and shivering in the

RETIRNY or tut MAORI.? TOR THE WEER TIMING
Thursday Evening. March 5, 1846.
The weather has been eacedingly unpleasant du
ring the past week, for all out door transactions, en.
til yesterday it came of warm and pleasant, with
strong symptoms of a regular thaw. To-day is stil.
more mild, the sun having tho effect to put the snow
into a"melting mood." The river commenced rising
last evening and has swelled some 5 or 6 inches, leav
ing about 4 ft 6 inches in the channel and rising rapid
ity. By tomorrow night we will have plenty of water
fur all navigable purposes.
The triode of the past we.rl.: has been characterized
by unusual dullness. The sales in the grocery line
have not been large; the city tr vie yet buying spa
ringly with only a moderate demand from the country.
The flour trade has been very inactive with no im
provement in prices. There has been but little in
quiry for lard: a few country parcels have been sold
at rates indicating no change in the market. Meats:
are yet in very moderate request. The sales of every
description nave been light. The ensuing week, eel
hope will be one of more activity.
Ashes—Sales of a few casks pearls at $3,75 to the
trade. Small lots of scorching' from 1 to 3 casks, at
3c. which rata a god article readily commands. No i
sales of salaratus excepting to the retail trade, in
which way 4e. is asked.
Beans—No sale* worthy of note. A good Wilkie
of small white navy beam readily commands $1,25
per bushel. Retail sales from store are at 1,50a51.-
e 2 1.2. Colored, no sale.
Brooms—The demand bas been very limited. The
supply is good and prices remain as heretofore quoted
141,50 per dot; for common $3, for sup. quality
Butter—Saks of Roll in hbls at 9 12 s lOc ; in kegs
nothing doing, nominal price Bc. The receipts with
in the last few days, have been rather light, the mar
ket is very dull.
Coffee—Prices are firmly sustained with sales to
the trade to a fair extent—about 300 begs within the
week; 100 bags fair Rio at 81; 90 good fair to prime,
at 8143, 90; a large lot of prime Rio Coffee bas ar
rived in New Orleans, destined fur this market.
There has been no interesting feature of impatience
in our market.
Rice—The market is quite bare again; a good ar.
title will now readily command 6c. by the tierce, in
bbl, 6 1 2 is asked.
Molasses—The sales of the week have been limited
and does not embrace over 300 in lots of 5, 10, 20,
30 and 10 bbl.. Recent advice. from New Orivans,
show a continued firmness in that market, with a ten
dency upwards in prices. Great confidence is felt
here, sod are very derided in asking 30c in lots, 31
3 , 32 c fur small I..antities, many holding prime lots
at 32c.
Supr—The market is very Elm with, however, oo
quotable pavanes. Tbo soles we noted entbrum a
bout 50 tads in lots of 5 to 10, at 6. 6tratEle; in
loaf, 1-c, embraces the various number* of south•
ern idning.
Tallow—ls scarce and in good demand at 61e
Feathers—The market is still without change or in
terest. Prima lots of live geese feathers will readily
continued 29e. per lb cash on receipt. The retail
salts are at 30c.
Fruits—The market for the past week has been or
• limited character, par iculsrly of Dried Fruit. A p
plea, 'tried, will not command over $1,124 by the
quentit); the retail sales are et $1,25051,37i; the
market heavy . Peaches of an inferior article are re- l
t ailing at $3,25440,50. Lemons and Oranges are
without change, the supply is small et.d very liule
doing. M. EL Raisins; a sale of 50 boxes at $2 874.
Smyrna figs are selling at 13411 c. Green Apples
I are very scarce. none coming in: s''_4s7 25 per bid
will readily be paid for good lots.
Freights—To Philadelphia, pr wagon of lard, bacon'
butter and such like are at from 90c to $1 per 100 lbs;
to Baltimore 90c via Brownsville to Cincinnati, St. I
Louis are merely nomieel. No regular price; as soon'
as the water rises to a good stage the rates will be low
or and mote regular as there Is a hugs number of boatel
below to coma up; an 3 no doubt there will be some
competition among them.
Flour—The market remains in about the same state
as we left it last week. Without any change in pri
ces, the quantity in market is barely sufficient fix the
city demands; $3,70, 3,7503,80 is the teceipt price
from wagons; sales from store at $3 87144 ; the lat
ter figure for choice family brands. — rho demand for
corn meal is more active, sales from store at from 40

been unusually quiet. Ns sales of consequence ex
cept in a retail way. No 1 will 113 S command over6c,
and dull at that; there are large prime lots for ship
ping held above that figure.
Bacon—The demand for Bacon has been very lim
ited, and the receipts small. The foreign news has
effected the market some considerable; bolderi of
large lots are more firm. There is also quite an im
provement in the feeling of the Southern and Eastern
markets, although we bear of no transaction in our
own at an advanced price. Another week will no
doubt work a change in our market to something wor
thy of note.

To persons obese property has, already, been

to those who have sustained loss, the facility of pro
