Iron Bridges. —There ate reasons for be¬ 
lieving that many of the inventions we boast 
of at the present day ore by no means origi¬ 
nal. Iron bridges, it was recently stated in 
an English work, are the exclusive invention 
of English artists, whereas, it is well known 
that there was on iron bridge at Antioch, 
in Syria, erected some time before the first 
crusade ; it had nine orches, and at each end 
there was a massive store tower of so'id ma¬ 
sonry. Gunpowder, firearms, paper and 
printing were not cow discoveries in the arts 
by Europe, but they had their origin—-so 
there is good ground for believing in China 
, 04 ,, and the Indies. The mariners’ compass, also, 
for which it' is asserted, we are indebted to 
ore of the Popes, is believed to have been used 
by the Phoenicians.—A'. V. Tribune.
