ee LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Carito Extension —The new House hall ‘will, without a doubt, be completed in time to be occupied at the next session of Congress, if the members think proper to use it; but, at the same time, it is not deemed advisable that it should be so used, as its occupation will necessarily retard the progress of the ne! hboring work, of which there is a great deal to be done, in the immediate vicinity of the hall. The hall floor i and the iron galleries are receiving a int, or Bons coats, for the gallery front is to finished in conformity with the ceiling. The yainters are making rapid progress in coloring the gedlery walls, and numerous gilders are to be seen, touching up the panels between the several entrances, while the ornamental iron work which surmounts the doors is receiving especial atten- tion at their hands. The carpenters are placing seats in the gallery sutticient for the accommoda- tion of hosts of spectators. The din which sa- lutes the ear as one enters, is almost deafening. While the work goes on rapidly, great care is ta- ken that it is executed with proper faithfulness; and no job is passed until thoroughly examined by the inspectors. ‘The granite work of the porticoes and colon- nades is all laid and ready for the marble. The marble material for this portion of the work is already ordered from the quarries, and will be hewn out this winter in the several stone-cutting shops about the works. The intersecting corri- dors are being built up rapidly and substantially ‘ © one connecting the new Senate with the old Capitol the first story is up, the arches turned and some progress on the second story has been made; the south corridor first story is just being completed, and only a little behind the north one im forwardness. The passages surrounding the new House of Representatives, on the principal tioor, have been laid down with the brilliant en- caustic tiles The large beautiful iron columns for the new dome, which have been ordered, to form the base story, will soon arrive from the manufactory. and some thirty of them will be set this fall. The furniture for the uses of the new hall comes from the manufactory of the Messrs. Doe. Hazl-- burst & Co., of Boston, Mass., and is of the most superb description, both in style and elaborate- ness of finish. ‘The panels between the entrances to the hall are to be filled oe with beautiful paintings from ‘the best artists, illustrative of scenes which trans- Pired during our nation’s struggle for independ- ence. The heating apparatus of the new Capitol is a marvel of marvels to any one unacquainted with the principle of supplying heat by means of steam machinery. ‘lhe basement roomsare filled with immense coils of iron pipe. which is at- tached to twenty-seven heating ranges under each hall which are variously disposed so as to supply warmth at a ‘graduated. rate. There will ‘be placed, to supply the requisite heat for the numerous rooms, six large boilers under each wing, which will furnish, if necessary, an amount of steam equal to fifteen hundred horse power. The pipe which will be dispersed through the Various and rooms of the great building would, if stretched out in one line, reach to an extent of fifty miles. In adark corner of the south beg is to be seen a range of pipe coiled many feet in height, and all ready for use when Teqnired, which is to convey the heat to the House of Representatives, and which is 60,000 feetin length. The aRy ratus is supplied from the house of Messrs. Nason & ize, of New York, and the process of putting it in is superin- tended by Robert Briggs, Esq., assistant archi- fect at the works, aided by his foreman, Mr. E.

The letter of Mayor Gool- riek, of Fredericksburg, gives the particulars of the case. {tis proper to say that the Mayor and Police of Richmond, after using every endeavor, have been unable to detect the guilty parties. It is to be hoped that if the representations made of the affair by Mayor Goolrick be true, that those concerned may be arrested and dealt with accord- ing to law.—Richmond South. The letter reads as follows : Prevericnsecrs, Va, Sept. 9, 1557 To the Mayor of Richmond: As a fiiend of humanity and justice, permit me to ask you to use your most strenuous efforts to arrest and de- tain a free girl from bere who was sold in your city last week by a person from either Washing- ton, Alexandria, or Fairfax county.

From his pen we have the following description of— A VISIT TO MOUNT HOLYOKE, MAss. We rose as the moon was — The ride of some five miles took us alon, ie foot of the mountain, and over the rich undulating valley of the Connecticut. The fog lay on the sleepi water—the world bad not sg wakened. The first morning breeze was gently touching the fields as we began our ascent. We were on the summit in time to see “* Jocund day Stand tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.” The fog began to move oft to clond-land; through its breaking folds we cat ich glim of the river, still and clear.

Before you is the quiet village of Northampton, half hid amid its trees, looking like an Eden in this realm of enc! antment; to the east looms the Wachusett; across the valley to the north is seen the bald front of Sugar Loaf, around whose base winds the little brook that once flowed with the blood of Lathrop and his ill-fated band; still further on, Old Monadnock 1fts his grey, eternal head: ere round to the west, the long Green Mountain chain binds State to State—yet over this the eye can see the tips of the Catskills; then turning south, the Inx- uriant valley, with its winding river, only fades under the hills of New Haven. The nearer land- scape is at beautiful, when dressed in summer garb, and the sweep round the mountain- bound horizon is magnificent. Hartford, Spring- field, Holyoke, the Hamptons, Amherst, Dec - field, beside smaller towns and villages, give the touch of life to the picture. It is a rare pleasure to stand on the top of Hol- yoke and drink in the quiet freshness of the land- scape when glittering with the dew-drops of June. The mountain isa part of the trap-ridge which extends through a e part of the valley; som¢times lifting up the sandstone, and at times bursting through, piling up its jagged sides hun- dreds of feet.

A comMitrerx of the Perseverance Fire Com- pany waited upon Captain Mills of the Auxiliary Guard last night, and stating to Lim that they had passed certain resolutions for the preserva- tion of order by their Company while in service at fires, or upon sudden alarms, asked what course to pursue if attacked, and how far they could depend upon the assistance of the police. The Captain replied that he was glad to hear of the passaye of resolutions to prevent minors from running with the apparatus, and to preserve peace and order. A strict enforcement of the Fesolutions would be applauded by good citizens, and would obtain the co-operation of the Guards so far as the law allowed. The Com: yany would hardly need the support of law cttlcers if the resolutions were carried out. But in cases of violations of law, it was the duty of the officers to arrest all concerned; and, as far as he was con- cerned, the duty should be performed without regard to persons or parties.

C, MoGUIRE. A last night no business was done farther than the Passage by the Board of Aldermen of the Coun- cil resolutions passed the night before, in relation to the monies of the Corporation now in the Bank of Commerce, instructing the Corporation Clerk, and the appointment of R. Ould, Esq., as the committee man upon the part of the Aldermen toconsult and arrangé'with the officers of the Bank, in relation to the deposits of the Corpora- tion. The feverish state of excitement which has ex- isted in our city for several days past, has nearly subsided, and things begin to wear a more quiet aspect. The firm belief among those most fa- miliar with such matters in the entire solvency of the Bank of Commerce, and of its ability to meet all its obligations with a little patience and forbearance on the part of its heaviest de sitors, is beginning torestore confidence, not only among those who are in any manner connected with it as depositors, &c., but nearly the entire business bases & From all we have been able to learn from per- sons deeply interested (depositors) since our let- ter of peieesT: we have not a doubt about its perfect soundness, and of its ability to through the present ordeal with flying colors, if the business portion of the community manifest a rational regard for their own interests by exer- cising towards it a prudent forbearance A rush upon the treasury of any institution of the kind in the land, upon the part of note holders and depositors. we think. would be more than likely to carry it by the Board. We learn, unofficially, that Mr. Rittenhouse, the President of the Bank of Commnerce, gave to a portion of the committee of our Corporation yesterday, an assurance that the interest falling due “pea the Corporation stock on and before the first of October next ensuing, amounting to some- thing like three thousand dollars, would be Promptly met by the bank. Brother Jos. Libbey, Sr., madea narrow esca with his Aldermanic proportions yesterday. Just as he was about to get into his rockawa’ » Which was standing in front of his plough factory on High street, his horse became frightened at some of the circus appendages and ran off at the top of his speed We will let Brother Libbey—who takes everything coolly, and in good humor—tell the balance of the tale. ‘He (the horse) went down High street like a streak of lightning, turned all the corners, teers the carriage, and everything. And the carriage, it presented when I (he) found it, a most horri. aspect, a perfect smash; don’t know that John Payne will allow it to come into his coach yard, and the horse I bat found in Dickey Jones’ blacksmith shop, on ‘he top of the cinder pile.”? Our attention was called yesterda , by the neighbors, to another pile of rubbish left from the repairs of Washington street, which has been deposited on the west end of Olive street, and there suttered to remain for something like two years. We hope the authorities will silence the complaints by compelling the delinquents to re- move at once the cause. We are pleased to see that the Star light which was reflected upon that on Water street, a few days ago, had the desired effect. After our report of yesterday, sales of several hundred barrels of flour were made at $5 aks. 37 for standard brands. ‘This morning the mar- ket is firm with some speculative demand at these prices. The wheat market is also firm, with an advance on the better grades of from two to three cents, upon the quotations given by us. then. Some 8,000 to 10,000 bushels have changed hands during the last two days. Arrivals—Sehr samuel B. Grice, Collier, Phil- adelphia, coal to C.
