They were momentary expect the bridge to fall. A distiller north of Hamilton lost between 400 and 600 hogs, by his pens being washed away. A gentleman down from Harrison last evening, states that both abutments of the dam there were and so both guard locks on the Whitewater canal and the cinnati branch. The dam was hourly expected to go. Mourteen milos above Harrison the guard locks of the Whitewater canal were gone, and 800 yards of embank- ment had been washed away, ‘Tho repairing of the damage done at these two points, it is said, will require about three montha time.

Jas. 1L—The United States vs. Wm Henry Wisner.— Henry Wisner, the person charged with rob- mail at Port Jervis, was arraigned on two in- dictments, to both of which he pleaded ay Om Tho United States’ District Attorney read both indict monts, charging the prisoner with taking a le from the United States mail, at Port Jervis, containing a bill of exchange, addressed to the firm of Jennings & Co, New York. ‘he other indictment charged him with purloin- in {ter containing two notes of $50 The Covar enquired if the pleas of guilty were put in under the advice of the prisoner's counsel. Mr. Wariont replied in the affirmative, and that it was also the recommendation of the prisoner's family; that he had nothing to say, except a hope that his youth and previous good charac: would be taked into considera- tion. He had no affidavits, but the District Attosney knew the facts to be a0. Mr. Burien stated to the Court, that the confession was ontirely voluntary, and emanated from the prisoner himse!f and his counsel, without any commuoication with the public authorities. It was but right, however, to state, that there were other charges agulnat the pri- soner, on which bills had ngt been sent to the Grand Ju- ry, and it was possible the prisoner might have been in- duced to plead guilty, to avoid other indictments. Ho believed the statement as to the prisoner's character, to be correct. There was anotbor circumstance necensary for the Court to know, that, in consequence of the dis closures made by the prisoner, some ton or twelve hun- dred dollars would be restored to the owners Judge Berrs said he would lok into the lew, and die pose of the prisoner ina day ortwo.
