LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Trae Treascry Extexsion work is being carried on with all the dispatch possible, con- sidering the delays the workmen are subjected to by the non-arrival of stone. The heavy north- west winds during the last few weeks have kept the cargoes of stone back; bat aera orf a a southerly wind prevails long enough to bring up a supply of pure Dix Island granite, and then the way the work goes ahead is a caution to “ old fogies.*’ The front basement columns of the south wing have arrived at the western wharf, near George- town, per barque Horace Beale, and are being taken from her deck at that place. These col- umns come in pieces of about 11 feet in length, which weigh about 14 tons each. There are four- teen of them, twelve of which came in the Horace Beale—the other two arriving a few days ago per brig Mary Cobb. All the granite necessary to complete the entire works of the extension comes from the Dix Island quarries, and is the finest and most durable mate- rial in the world for heavy building purposes. It is of a dark gray color, of fine grain, and suscep- tible of receiving a high finish. The foundation story of the west front Is pro- gressing with all the celerity desirable inthe con- struction of work which fs designed to stand. The excavations for this front will be effected in between two and three months. The laborers have already gone so far north with it as to render necessary the pulling down of that faithful old time-keeper, the Treasury clock. Workmen have been employed about this for the last few days. The Superintendent has detesmined to have it temporarily erected In the court near the west wali of the present Treasury beorgeary but ft is to be hoped that the De; ment will allow ita more conspicueus position. The wheels of the Government will stop if they stop the wheels of that clock. Some gratitude is due from the clerks of the Treasary and State Departments to that time noter, for its always friendly warning when they have been tardy. The old clock was built by Lucas of Philadel- hia, and purchased by the State and Treasury partments for the accommodation of those em- loyed in the various branches of those buildings. Ww hen the Old Treasury building was destroyed by fire the old clock had her face pretty severely scozched, but she kept on counting off the time without any cessation, and so has she continued te do for more than a quarter of acentury, with- out repairs or even being cleaned, save once. when some slight repairing was done by the late Mr. Voss of this city. When the present Treasury building wasin the course of construction, which was in the first of President Jackson's administration, the General was accustomed to walk down to the old clock tower and seating himself on a plank or platform pole, would smoke his pipe while watching the progress of the works, under the superintendence of our (popular then as now) fellow citizen. Maj. JP. Pepper, chat with great familiarity with the laborers, and would sometimes insist on exchang- tng bis long Turkish pipe for the short clay pipe of a hod-carrter for a whiff or two. The old clock was the pet of the two Depart- ments at that time, and the President caused a man to be appointed to take care of it. Mr Pepper sppointed Mr. Wm. Goddard watch- man at the Treasury, to wind upand look after it, and he received for a number of years the sum of 850 per annum for this additional service. Mr. J. W. Shields, now Chief Messenger of the De- partment of the Interior, has had charge of the clock, and wound it by eprops f during a space of ten years, and says it she never went wrong during that time, although the tardy clerks used to insist that she gaincd time. The Department should have a tower built for this clock on the summit of the Treasury, where she might be set up for old acquaintance sake, as 2 model to all Connecticut and other clock ma- kers, and an example of rectitude to the whole city. If provided with a hammer of sufficient | she has the ability to strike the hours suf- or audibly to supply that great want—a Town Clock. Cinctit Court.—Yesterday, in the case of Fendall cs. Ingraham, the principal points of demurrer brought by the defence in this case were these: -* That a slave cannot take by descent nor by purchase ;*? A uest to a free person in trust for a slave ts void. (1 Parsons on Contracts, pege 336.) After —— the several points ar- gued by Mr. Thompson for defence, which were pet by that gentleman with much force, the Court dismissed the demurrer. the case will come before the Court next term on its merits. The Court then listened to the motion of Mr. Martin for a new trial on petition of the case of King cs. Kirkley. Itwas a case of rescinding the indentures of an apprentice, and the mction for a new trial was made on grounds of ez parte decision in former trial .The Court overruled the motion. rs further per up for consideration, the Court adjourned unt! to-day. This morning, the Court granted an application from the orphan children of Wm. Holmead to confirm the sale ordered by the Orphans’ Court, of real estate property, held in trust for them for their maintenance and education, the being above the = — infancy. Mr. Stone ap- peared on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. Bradley introduced Mr. Benjamin F. Rus- sell, of Boston, to the Court, who was admitted to practice at the several courts of the District of Solumbia. The case in equity of Henry D. Gardiner vs. George L. Snelling, in which application is made to the Court to restrain the defendant from receiv- ing certain moneys due the firm of Turner, Snell- ing & Co., was called up. Messrs. Russell and Bradley appeared for complainant, and Carlisle and Murray for defence @ case was opened by Mr. Russell, who read the bill of complaint, and Mr. Carlisle followed on the other side, and was Ss to the complaint when this Teport closed. Tux Ansexat Extexsion.—The proposed ex- tension of the Arsenal grounds, from the Peni- tentiary wall to the line of P street, and from the Potomac river to James’s creek, is attracting ager attention very generally to that portion of he city. The amount of money which will be expended on the works will be a source of sub- stantial benefit to our mechanics and laborers ; more especially to the latter, as there will bea vast amount of Erading required to fill up the groand along the line of James’s creek to the re- quired level: The height of the wall along the ine of James's creek will be about four feet above the water line of the creck ; and from that wall, — West towards the high ground, and ali along its line, is the low marsh which borders on the creek. Now the question arises, Where is the material tocome from to! ll up all this space ? The highest portion of the [orgs is not too high for its purpose, and the rising ground east of James's creek belongs to individuals, who would doubtless place a fancy value on it if they thought the Government required it. This question is receiving at this time the care- ful atteution of those concerned, and on a recent visit to the ground of the Extension we found the experienced surveyor, Mr. Forsyth, with some of the most active business men of the Seventh Ward, making a survey of the ground bordering on James’s Creek, i we believe, they came to the conclusion that the necessary filling could easily be obtained from the bed of the creek. The wall will be constructed from the mouth of the creek as far up as P street, (the extent northward of the late purchase.) and by means of steam-dredzing machines the filling could readily be raised and deposited along the line of this wall where need: This material even if taken out to the h of from twelve to fifteen feet, and from a width of eighty feet would prove inadequate, but by con- tinuing to dredge the line of the Creek as far north as M strect, sufficient filling would be ob- tained to answer the requirements of the Proposed improvement, and, at the same time another — work would be advanced, namely—the Ship Canal ‘The two improvements carried on in conjune- tion could be effected at half the cost of joing them singly. ‘The desirableness of such a work, asa health measure has already been dwelt upon by us. Tue River.—The river ts very dull to-day. Not a sail dots its surface. No arrivals at the wharves, either of sea or river craft The rain of yesterday will wind up the fish- eries for the season. The few Proprietors who have not cut oat will wait for the current caused by the late rainy season to drive the fish down fom the upper Tiver, when they will contrive to entrap a few in their toward the Bay. After that there will be but little doue. At Alexandria, yesterday, the receipts of fish did not amount to more than seven or eight hun- dred shad, and no herring. No prices to quote. This morning there were no arrivals, and the steamer Guy started down the river to tow up, if required. any fish pungies that might have been kept back by the late winds, and to ascertain the success of the gillers in the vicinity of the Stoney Point landings. The Collyer is runnii Place of the George Was! cleaned out We were im error in saying that the Powhatan failed to reach ber wharf yesterday. She had come uy; tear sen to Alexandria for a supply of coal he tnformation in relation to her non ar- Tival was given by the captain of a steamer, who supposed at the time that she had not arrived. Naznow Escars—Anxotuzr Warsixo.— Farly last evening an accident occurred at the Louse of Mr. J.W Reynolds, on Eighth street, Letween L and M north, which came near caus- ing loss of life aud property. Some small chil- dren, while playing under the centre table, acci_ deatally drew the cover from the table, with it a large camphen or ethereal oil lamp. The dresses of the children took fire, as did several — of roar yng theroom. Providentially, P was sufficiently near and prompti enough applied to save the Zuitdren fom pri injur aud to extinguish the flames in the room, t 4 not until the furniture hed been badly scorched. Ethereal oil is a ticklish barning matertal at best on the river to-day in ington, which is being and in no cases where children are about should ‘ 3 be used in any otber than metallie lamps. Tax srw Doxus oF tax CarttoL loems up, day by day, though it has not yet assumed any- thing like the outline and proportions it will take when completed. The present care of the archi- tect and workmen is to secure proper supports for constramense weight of material to be used in the construction of this immense dome. The vast size of the brackets, forming the base of the dome, strikes the beholder with wonder. Bach bracket —— 7,000 nds, and their ag- ite weight is 504,000 pounds. The brick n which the brackets are fastened is of great er ae and solidity, and is to be raised to the ae it of thirty feet, forming the arch uj ‘h the iron columns of the dome will rest. namber of columns forming the circuit of the superstructure is thirty-six, and each column will Spee by two brackets. These col- umns are twenty feet in — and weigh five tonseach. The total weight of iron composing the dome is estimated at fifteen million pounds or seven thousand five hundred tons! It would seem that such a ponderous mass of fron would inevit- ably crush to powder any supports that the inge- nuity of man could devise ; but, on the contrary, we are told that the foundations of the new dome havea pram r more than ten times as great as they wi called upon to endure. The iron galleries of the new Hall of Repre- sentatives are being set up with Ll pag ‘he clear extent of the hall, exclusive of the lobbies, will — feet in depth by 67 in width and 37 feet in height. U othe gallery fronts are twenty panels, six feet by ten, with fron frames of exquisite finish, which are to be gilded, and form the frames of a & series of historical paintings. By the first day of September the galleries will be completed. The painters expect to have the ceilings finished ed the middle of July, when the ‘ings will be cleared away, and the spectator will have an ade- quate view of the elaborate and beautiful repre- sentations depicted by the artists. The lobby ceilings are to be beautifully fresco- ed. They are supported by cast iron plates twelve feet long by six wide, and ey one-fourth of an inch in thickness —an achievement jn iron cast- ing truly wonderful, and demonstrating forcibly the adaptability of this metal to almost all the re- uirements of the builder. ‘I'he castings are from the celebrated fou of James Beebe & Co. of New York, and the galleries are being erected under the superintendence of Mr. Fowler of that firm. Cocrt oF Cratms.—In this Court the case of James Thompson, last before them yesterday, is stillup. Mr. Ratcliffe addressed the Court this morning on the Government's behalf, and.as we Ss press is being replied to by Mr. George E. iz ger. This claim is for $320,000, claimed as being dne to Thompson as the heir of a certain contrac- tor for transporting the mails from Louisville to New Orleans, with a branch mail te St. Louis. It (this claim) originated in 1837. Tus American Hoox ann Lappgr ComPasy proposed to give their down-river excursion on to- morrow, but not caring to go pic-nic-ing in over- coats, as the present temperature demands, bave very properly decided to | eevay eas the affair until to-morrow week, by which time we shall, un- doubtedly, be in the enjoyment of delicions weather as arecompense for the a cold term. All we have to say is, lookont for the Excursion of the American Hook and Ladder Company when it does come off. [comMUNICATED. Ma.
