GovERNMENT Worxs—The Patent Ofice.— ‘The unfinished portion of the excavation of the foundation for the north wing of the Patent Office has been commenced The area court wall isin active progress; and will soon be finished . ‘The foundation wall of the F street front will be commenced ina few days. A large portion of the foundation stone, which is of granite, is already cut, and workmen are busily en- gaged on the foundation cutting. Some twenty laborers have already been put on the excavation, and in a short time the area wall will have been completed. ; The west wing is progressing rapidly towards completion, under the management of M-. James Walker, the skillful master workman. The beantiful portico is nearly finished and the expectation is that the entire west front will be finished in one month. The fine Dorie columns forming the chief feature of this portico, are all set, the flating very nearly finished, and the sur- mounting entablature is being set on. i Preparations are being made for the evection of the Geometrical rye in ora thi dat This stairway forms the means and in- s from the court, and will wind from the ponerg the top of the wing. connecting with all the floors of the main building. ‘Tue Prot Tuickexs.—We leam that the Rev F. S$. Evans is very much dissatisfied with the course pursued by the Monument Board in rela- tion to their Secretary, and that he was not aware of the nature of the movement to be considered by the Board the other day, when he signed the call for the special meeting. To-day he sent his resignation to the Beard in the following woids: Gentlemen : | hezewith resign my position as a member of the Board of Manazers of the Warh- ington Monument Society. Repectfally, &c., F.S. Evans it is whispered that Mr. Robert T. Knight, one of the Board, is endeavoring to have Mr. AtLee (the present Sceretary) discharged. avoredly to obtain that gentleman’s place for himself. We hear further that the Managers feel rather unamiably towards the press-gang, and have christened them ‘- the shawl gang,” perhaps from the fact that most of the tribe who made their un- welcome descent on the meeting of the Board were clad in that warm but rather unsightly ar- ticle of raiment. More fun at the meeting to-night! In the lan- guage of the immortal -‘ Potts,”’ of Pickwickian fume, ‘+ we shall be there !*? Bcinpixe Prospects.—The progress of pri- vaie enterprise in the house building line is con- tably retarded at present by the yreat scarcity of brick The ter carpenters, although they are daily making estimates and closing contracts, have t vid buek for the brick makers, who can- not pr s8 to any extent in their operations on account of the backwardness of the spring.
