The extreme and nthe he novelties a! its const » the pleasant nature of its contents, and the uprivaled panoramic view from its windows and balconies all contribute to this end. It is believed that this is the first room ever made exclusively of iron, and the fact that such a novelty in architecture has not only been so wonderfully well done, but that the whole of this immense reom was fitted, cast, and put up in less thaw six months, tells well for the capabilities of American mechanics. ‘The main library room embraces the Ly ma oc. eupied by the old library before the fire. On both sides of the room are three stories of iren cases, each nine feet six inches in height. The lower story consists of alcoves projecting eight feet six inches into the room, with cases on each side of the projections The second ress has similar alcoves, excepting that their projection is but five feet, which leaves a platform of three feet six inches in width, resting on the cases below, and which constitute a commodious gallery. A similar platform is constructed on the alcoves of the second story, forming a gallery to approach the upper cases; thas making three stories, re- ceding as they aseerd. ‘hese galleries are con- tinued acrpes the ends of _ = where they are su) rted by massive brackets. "Theaicoves fot nine feet eight inches in width, from centre to centre, with an ornamented pier forming the head of each projection. The archi- traves which cross the alcoves are finished with shields, crowning bands and ornaments. The shields are designed as tablets to receive the names of the —_— subjects oa which the books in the respective alcoves treat. The galeries are ali floored with cast iron — aod protected by pedestals and railings; hey are approached by two semi-circular stair- ways of cast iron, recessed in the end walls of the room.

The roof is covered with copper, secured by copper wires to the iron raft- ers ‘The furnaces for warming this portion of the bailding consist of hot water pipes enclosed in chambers erected in the old furnace room of the cellar, and connected with boilers for heating the water. Theexternal air is admitted into these chambers, where it is warmed and conveyed by fines into the library, and such of the adjacent rooms as were heuted by the old furnaces. The library, when completed, will embrace the entire western projection of the present Capitol, thus forming a suite of five rooms, embracing an extent of 3u2 feet. These smaller apartments will be appropriated to the use of Senators and mem- bers of the House of Representatives as private teading rooms. The entire plan cannot, however, be carried out until accommodations are provided in the new wings for the officers of Congress and the com- Mittees now occupying the north and south rooms of the western projection. sitors from all quarters, as the Begaty of hn STILL ANOTHER VERSION OF THE MELEE.— Mr. Editor: The last account of the affray on the corner of Louisiana avenue and Sixth street, which wus published in the Star, does me great injustice. You'wil! please set me right by pub- lishing the following statement of the case, as far as I was concerned, on the night of Wednesday, the luth inst: As 1 was proceeding along Sixth street,toward my home at thecorner of Lonisiana avenne, | was met by four persons, one of whom approached, and asked me to assist him in ar- resting “these three shucks,”? alluding to his friends. 1 then asked him, what they had been doing? and, on his replying that they had been breaking the peace, I informed him that i had not the authority to arrest them. He then said I Was “a damned cowardly sen of a bitch;” to which I replied in equally offensive terms. He then struck me several violent blows over the head, and felled me to the ground. As soon as [ could recover myself, 1 procured a stone and threw it at my assailant. Upon which one of his companions snapped a loaded pistol at me. 1 im- mediately made good my retreat. and met two Persons on Pennsylvania avenue. who, learning the —— of the affair of me, went in quest of the parties. I then met Thomas C. Donn,esq. who had been called out of his office by the cry of murder; and, meeting my assailants, the pre- tended that they had been attacked and took him to assist in the arrest of the party. {afterwards found him at the door of List’s Saloon, and learn- ing that the party were in the Saloon, I followed them and made an attack upon the principal of- fenders against me; and was prevented from giv- ing him the panishment which he so richly de- served, by the interference of Mr. Donn. Mr. Donn and [ started home aod met officers Toumy and Drummond, who requested me to go with them to identify the partiex, who were then on the opposite corner. One of them then made an assault upon the officers witha knife. The re- mainder of the affray I had nothing to do with, and was ent ay | alone when attacked and beaten, aud also when | made the assault on Pollock at List’s. B. Eccleston. Wasuincton, D.

Our City Councils were in session last night un- til a late hour, and had under consideration the following business : In the Council, a message was received from the Mayor requesting an appropriation to the Mayor’s contingent fund, and notifying the Councils that he had made a thorough survey of the gravel streets of “Pown and found them ‘much damaged by the laté heavy rains, and asking an appropri- ation for sepairing the same. Also, for repairing the High street road, and requesting them to take steps to procure a likeness by A. Simpson, artist, of the late John Mountz, and notifying them that the nizht watch would be required to inove from their present location onthe 27th instant, and cov- ering the petition of Henry Kengla and others in Telation to the grade of Fayette street; all of which was appropriately referred. Also, a messaze returning the ordinance pro- viding for a fence at the breach upon the new road, and giving lis reasons for disapproving the same. Upon the question being taken, ‘Shall the bill pass, notwithstanding the objections of the May- the vote stood as follows : Yeas—Messrs. Barron, Cropley, mour, and White—5. ‘s—Messrs. Thomas and Oyster—2. , a message returning the bill in relation to or la before mayisirates, without his ap- pro’ Corre Fearson,Jones, Upon this bill the Mayor was sustained, the vote being 4 tod. And another, returning the ordinance providing fora tae to the stock of the Alexandria, Leudoun,and Hampshire Railroad and giving his reasons for withholding his signature to the same. Upon this bill the Mayor wax not sustained, the vote being unanimous in favor of the measure. In the Board of Aldermen the result was the Same in regard to each bill. Mr. Thomas presented the account of J. B. Greepwell for repairing pumps; which was refer- Ted to committee on pumps. Mr. Fearson presented a communication from J. W. Kitchen, in relation to his portion of cer- tain Corporation fines; read and referred. Mr. White reported back from streets commit- tee, Aldermen’s bill providing for rebuilding and raising canal bridges; which was unanimously rejected, Mr. Seymour offered a substitute for the same presiding for the rebuilding the bridges at the arket-Louse, appropriating $2,000 for the same, and giving to the canal company power to raise certain other brid: rejected. Mr. White reported from streets committee, resolution releasing the Trustees of the West Georgetown M. E. Church from the payment of front-foot tax for the improvement of street; pass- ed both Boards. «The same reported from the same committee, a resolution appropriating $54.87 for the benefit of W.H. Fletcher, which passed both Boards. The same, to whom was referred the petition of Johu Paxion, asked that the committee be dis- charged from its further consideration, which was granted. The same reported from the same committee a resolution authorizing the Mayor and Surveyor to fix the grade of Frederick stréet in such manner as will best suit public convenience and wishes of the property holders ; passed by Council and fejected by the Aldermen A message was received from the Aldermen, Proposing a committee of conference upon the Aisagreement on the bill providing for the erec- tion of a suitable house for the accommodation of the night watch. The Aldermen’s coimmittce receded from their objection to Council bill passed at the last meeting, a; riating $600 for the erection of a new houseom the lot south of the hay scales, reported the same to the Board, and the Dill was passed. ‘The following bills both Boards: Ap- ‘opriating $100 for the repair of streets, and ligh-street road; $100 for opening culvert on hew road, on the premises of Mr. H es; $100 to the Mayor's contingent fund; and ation request- ing the Mayor to call the attention of the canal superintendgnt to the dilapidated condition of the canal bridge iminediately west of the market, and demand its immediate removal. After an interchange of messages, both Boards, having gone through with the business before them, adjourned sine die. We hear no little growling among persons en- ‘din business on the canal aluat the condi- tion of the’canal basin. Some of the waste weii« gave Way at the time of the freshet some three weeks since, and up to the present time the re- pairs upon them have not been completed. Con- sequently no boat can pass out of the canal into the river. And this, we would inform “ Ites,”” is the real cause why boats bound to Washington have to go round by Alexandria, and nef the ob- struction they meet with in passing under our bridges. Wealso incline tothe belief that, unle s something is speedily done to remove the evil. the present condition of the basin will not tend in any degree to —_ the health of that por- tion of the two cities lying contiguous to it. Quite a hubbub was raised yesterday afternoon upon Water street, by an old man named How- ard forcibly ejecting the children of his son from his (the son’s) house during the absence of him- self and wife, and nailing up the house. Upon the return of the son, he attempted to regain session of his castle, when the father obtained the assistance of an Irishman named Martin, armed with a gun, who quietly seated himself upon the premises in company with old Howard, swearing vengeance against any. person who might attempttoenter. Before any mischief was done, however. the police got wind of the muss, and incarcerated Martin in the watch-house. The offerings of beef cattle at Drovers’ Rest and Fossett's yards. yesterday, amounted to 500 head; vof which were purchased by District butch- ers at $3134 37 on the hoof, equal to $62$3.75 nett. The renvining 200 head were driven on to Balti- more. Olid sheep and lambs $2.50a83.10 per head. SpecTator.
