This distribution was 4 pened from last Tuesday in consequcece the death of Mr. Gales. The warm weather did not prevent full turn out of the scholars. The vari- ous schools of this district, escorted by Prosperi’s band, at the appointed hour marched from the —— school house to the Smithsonian Insti. tution. On reaching the Smithsonian we found that por- tion of the hall assigned to the audience, densely filled, more so than on any previous occasion. A great number of the literat of the city were present, drawn hither, we . by the an- houncement that that distinguished, scholar; Me j my S. Wilson, Commissioner of the General Lay Office, was to deliver an address. The scholars being comfortably seated the band struck up @ national air, after which yer was offered. followed by the choice render: ng of a very pretty song 5 the pupils.

The petition Sets forth that he is the inventor of a four-ways stop cock and See plugs and that having, at the solicitation of C: cigs, obtained a patent for the same, (that er promising to use his influ- ence to secure their use by the Government and the corporation of the city; that he exhibited the model as P pamagen to Capt.

Meigs bad made what called an improvement on the machine, but which was considered by many rather as a detri- ment; and had got a patent for it as im; oved, and had it brought into use. He regarded this action on the part of Capt Meigs as an infringe ment upon his right; and therefore seeing the Cor, ion was about to make an appropriation for purchase and erection of suc machines, he desired the Board to suspend action until he had the matter investi; ted. before the proper tribanal. If it were there decided that this attempted improvement of Capt. Meigs was an infringement, the Corporation, by adopting it, would render themselves liable to heavy damages by its use. of rs Orme objected to receiving the Petition, on the ground that it was not a proper subject for consideration by that board. By receiving this [ged and erring it, a reflection would thereby caston the character of that efficient officer, Capt. Meigs, than whom he believed there was no man who hed a higher standing in this community. Capt. Meigs would be the last person to infringe upon anyone’s patent right. Mr. Easby thought that !t was but due to the petitioner to receive the petition and. appropriately refer it. He moved to refer it to the committee ou drainage. The question being taken, it was so referred. heb te BILLS Aape got for the prevention of nuisances, aj proved May 27, 1859. : W THDRAWN AND REFERRED. Petition of Jas.
