The work of Mrs Hall virtually takes up this history of the British queens where Mics Strickland left it—that is, with the Conquest.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GosslP. Washington Monument.—There is imp nent danger, we apprehend, that the direct or managers of this noble work will shortly be compelled to abandon their ehiterprise; for want offunds. Their treasury is now proba- bly lower than at any previous {ime since the laying of the corner stone, the shaftchaviag been erected to a eightiof oné-hutdted and sixty-six feet—one third of the contemplated height. The worst feature of the matter is, that there appears to be less disposition among the American public at this time to contribute towards its completion than ever before, though we are hearing more of the duty of a purely American patriotism in the newspapers and ‘among the politicians, thau .was ever before published and spoken since we have been old enough to note the condition of political af- fairs. The stoppage of the work thus, hardly half finished, will leave a ‘monument, not to the memory of George Washington, but to the hollowness of American expressions of grati- tude to the man.and veneration of thé noble. quatitienof his-head and heart, which secured for u& the great rights of civil and religious freedom, in the days that tried men’s. souls. Ic.will be a burning shame.and overwhelming disgrace to our country’ to ‘permit this noble and patriotic work to stop for wantof fands, when. sixpence a piece from each native Ame- rican only, without countingout foreign-born fetlow-vitizens, will be amply sufficient to construct balf a dozen suck.shafts as itis pro- poset to make this. Really, itis’ time that alt beeame alive to the ‘necessity for prompt contributions for its continuation... It would be strange indeed, if, while oar elestions are being sv-sweepiigly carried in the natie of a more truly American patriotism..than was in vogue until a few months since, ‘the Washing: ton monument should be perinitted'to bedome an abortion—a dead failure—as though ‘by’ way of proving the allegation that oux most vouiferous American putriots aim nt to per- petuate the principles of our revolutionary, fathers, but their destruction. aa ALand Cflice Register Appointed. —Rubert Benguerel, Esq., has been appointed by the President Register of the Land Office at Ope- lougas, La., vice Jas. G. Fitzgerald, deceased. The Laws of the District of Columbia — We have to say to our fellow-citizens of the’ District of Columbia, that if they desire reaj reforms in the Dfatrict judiciary system, they must shortly be up and doing, else there wili probably be nothing done in the. premi:es next winter,or much. will be done on sinister pedvice:’ Congress: will be overwhelmed with business, and not one in twenty of the mem- bets can take time to study the subjeal ac as to know: precisely what will be the effort of each change they may make. Persond who are benefited by features in the existing sys- tem, which injure every one else in the com- munity, will not be slow to battle for their privileges and existing advantages. Ocaers, too, who may fancy that they espy a fat off opportunity of feathering their own nests by ingrafting particular features on tlie new ju diciary system which will be made fer us, will be very sure to labor assiduously to that end, and with no little success, if the community do not take promp; measures to secure the ex- posure of their efforts to mielead-the menibers. Our advice is, that a public meeting be calied to select a committos of twelve or fifteen of our best informed citizens, of different busi- ness pursuits—men who oan be relied on, all of them, not only to labor for the public in- terest, but to 4xow the points in the jaaty of legal provisions which will do mest to increase the happiness and prosperity of all classes of persons in the District of Columbia... This ad- vice will be deemed officions by those who are in hopes of furthering their own immediate interests in the arrangement of the proposed new District of Columbia judiciary system, and they will frown on us for giving it. It is our duty, however, to warn the District public that, unlees they do promptly take the matter in hand, the chances are ten to one that half the changes which will be made will be to benefit this or that partioular individual, or to gratify his prejudices, while the features of the present system left untoached will be those which, operating against the interest of the community at large, are strenuously sought to be preserved for the immediate advantage of parties aiming to perpetuate them on our stat- ute books. An Assistant Light House Keeper Ap- pointed —David Joy has been appointed aa- sistant keeper of the light house at Quaddy’s Head, Maine, at $300 per annum. The Army too £mall.—The rumored death of Major Lee, of the 8th infantry, first pub- lished a few days since in the Star, is another proof of the truth of what we have been urging for some months past concerning the entire inadequacy of the present army ‘of the United States, with all the corps full, for the proper defence of the frontiers, with a less.an- nual mortality of the gallant officers‘and men im the service in this time of peace, than would be a fair average loss.for.a state of ac- tual warfare with a civilized government: |[n- deed, it will surely be found at the end of the existing war in the East, that neither Rusia. nor the allies will have lost:as many officers, (in the war,) in proportion to'tte number of troops engaged on either. side, as the United States will have lost, during the existence of the Eastern war, we being ut peace with all the world—of course we mean proportienably. No government of ancient or modern times everdid = more cruel and’ disgraveful thing than fs being done by those who a:e responii- ble for the wholesale butchery of our gallant officers and men, on whom the casualities of the service fall; who die, as many of them, from unnecessary exposure and overtaxed,en- ergies, ss from the rifle and’ arrow of the savages. While a penny-wise and peund-fool- ish policy, and a spirit of sheer demagogism combined, are thus causing the massacre of our brave coentrymen, we have small right, indeed, to Boast the extraordinary ‘enlight- ment of our government. We have fallen upon strange times, surely, when our legisla- tors, with light before their eyes, persevere in practically massacring our gallant and useful army. . A Very Important Decision.—The 2d Comp- troller, in disposing of a claim recently, has decided.that when « payment ‘his been made to an administrator deriving his authority of competent jurisdiction, though that authority was obtained by fraudulent means, payment will not again be made by the’Government to the true claimant. In the caso in quos tion, administration was obtained by probable fraud and Perjury, on the estate of 4 man still living, It was held that under previous Practice, and decisions in anslagous cases, the United States were released, having paid the smount upon ‘authority they were bound to respect, emanating frem 4@ court of compe- tentj ction. The recourse of the party whose mogey has been fraudulently obtained, is to the inisttator and his sureties, or to Congres. 4, Cg The. @ t Operations of the 3 —On Saturday, the 14th of Ost., fe.

The fol- lowing are comments which our -article has elicited. The New York. Evening Post says: “We presume no one expected that a United States Senator from Texas, and he Sam Hous- ton, was going to Boston to preach abolitionism, for two reasons—the first is because he is not an abolitionist but a alavebolder, and the se- cond is that if he had anything to say against slavery, he is not the man to go firstinto a free State tosayit.” Whether Gen. Sam Houston is for or against slavery is more than wecan say.
