He was in front of the tobac- co store, standing up with his hand on his breast; don't recollect seeing Hook; saw Codrick; Third street is nearer considerably to Birch’s, than Bireh’s to the place where Lanahan was shot; it was light around; think that while I was with Lanaban a coach started from the stand; but am not sure, as they are passing frequently; Codrick came up after I got there. J. F. Carter, special policeman, sworn.—Was standing at the corner of Third street between 9 and l¥o’clock.

Tax Capito, Extexston.—All branches of the extension works are going on with the greatest possible expedition, and additional hands are pressed into the service on the House side, with a view of having it finisbed, if possible, by the meeting of Congress. The only point of bt regarding the probability of having the work done according to expectation, lays with the pro- gress of the heating apy us; and a lar; \di- tonal force has been put apen that of the work, in order to bring it uptotime. The na- ture of this kind of work; the immense weight of the iron pipes; the thousand angles to which they have to be fitted; the laborious work of cut- ting away walls of great thickness and solidity, to place the leading pipes in position; the heavi- ness of (he boilers, which are now being fitted to their places, and a thousand and one necessary details about the construction and adaptation of so extensive and various an undertaking, al! tend to retard the rapid prosecution, unless through making an unsatisfactory job of it; and that, say those in charge, must and shal it he—sothe work progresses less rapidly but ina workmau- like manner. It is a matter of city pride that four of the large boilers which are to oceupy the basement of the new building for the purpose of heating the new Halis are from the manufactory of Messrs. Ellis & Bro., machinists of this city. They are now being seton the House side for that purpose. ‘The other four boilers, as also the steam engines, of which two are to occupy the basement of each Ha!!. came from the manufactory of Messrs. Na- son & Dodge, of Boston. These enginesare to be of ten horse power each, and besides furnishing steam to beat the halls, are to have attached also immense revolving fans which are being con- structed to force cold air through every part of the wings to regulate the temperature. The general superintendence of the heating apparatus {s in the hands of Mr. Robert Briggs, assistant engineer under Capt. Meigs, and Mr. Ed. Dunn, bis active foreman. In the House ball a small army of mechanics are comementee. during Rcbedes 3 hours, engaged in painting, graining, marbleizin, .gilding, ete : while others are working at the Speaker’s desk and its surroundings, and carpenters are com- leting the seats in the galleries. The Speaker's Beak will be completed, in all probability, by the first day of the coming month. In one of the lower rooms a crowd of girls are engaged in sewing together a magnificent carpet for the tloor of the Hall; and the rooms sur- rounding the hall are pretty well filled with the House farnitare, which Is of beautiful pattern ; | gabiodeepeted the seats of the members, which are peauitifully carved, of black walnut, and covered with red morocco. The gas arrangements for lighting the hall are nearly completed, and will be finished in afew days. The effect of the gas lights will be very fine viewed from below. Each pane of stained glass in the ceiling will be surrounded with a ceiling will be surrounded with a row of gas burners, and when lighted will exhibit with beantiful distinctness the arms of the several States of the Union depicted on the glass At the head of the grand marble stairway of the House. and leading from the lobby a t and beautiful row of banisters are being put up. This stairease, it will be remembered, is the one con- structed of beautiful Tennessee marble. This is but one of the many attractive features of the new hall. On the Senate side, the iron work for the con- struction of the Senate gallery is arriving daily, and preparations are being made to commence Operations thereon, to be continued during the coming winter. Cinceit Cocnt.—After our report closed yes- terday, the Court was occupied for some time in the case of C oll vs. Chrisman, an action in re- plevy te recover a horse. The jury gave a verdict for defendant, with one cent damages The case of Wm. H. Abell Conrad Prink- ard was then taken up. This was a case where the plaintitf had been employed by the defendant to buiid a house, and bad been discharged before the completion of the work. Defendant refused to allow any compensation for the work which had been done by plaintiff, who brought suit to recover. Decision not given N i9. Jules Hauel rs. Peter A.

The defendant afterwaids desired to sell the said lot to the plaintiif, (Perry.) who refused to purchase on account of the bond of conveyance which the defendant had givento Holohan. The defendant offered, if the plaiatitf would purchase, to ‘pay Holohan’s claiinon said lol, and take up the bond of conveyance. The plaintift purchased and ob- tained his deed, and the defendant then refased to pay Holoan’s claim, so the plaintiff, to make his own title good, paid the said claim, and then sued the defendant for the amount, which was $125. The jury returned verdict for the full amount claimed, with interest from Ist January, 1855 The Court then took up the case of Neill Du- ress & Co. vs. ALE. L. Keese. This was an ae- tion brought by the plaintitfs to recover a piano which had been levied Un by the defendant as the property of one Heflebower, in execution of a judgment, which piano. the plaigtitts claimed, Was not his property, but rented to him by them. ‘The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.
