The officers learned from them that they were on their way to Hartford, and had missed the road, and near by two roughs had Made partial attempts to violate the person of the wom! The two strangers were directed the road to Hartford, and the officers went in search of the men charged with assaulting the woman. When near Neck Bridge, which leads from the city to the Hartford turnpike, the Toughs bad again set upon the two travelers, and from threats which the patrolmen heard, they felt convinced that the roughs intended bad treatment to the woman. They lost no Ume, and immediately placed themselves in a position to arrest the men as they came toward them. Soop one of the men went ahead jn the direction of the woman. Patrolman Stoddard, as the other man, named Timothy McCauley, went to pass, seized him, and handed him over to Patrolman Nichols, id started for the man No.2. Soon he heard Nichols cry »-Help, he'll kill me,” and Stoddard immediately returned to the spot, and after searching about in the dark tor a brief time discovered McUaule: beating Nichols ina fearful manner. As fn patrolman came up he sprang for him, crying “Now I'll finish you.” Failing to reach him with his locust, Patrolman Stoddard drew his revolver and tired. McOauley ran, and the officer followed; in the chase they came across the other man, aud he was secured. McOUanu- ley was found lying on the bank of the Mill river, the shot having entered his face, and doing sufficient damage to preyent his escape. The two men, woman, and her husbard were taken tothe police office, and confined for the night. This morning McCauley was put ander beavy bonds for examination. Patrolman Stoadard delivered himself up for arrest, but from all the evidence gathered he merely did his duty as & faithful officer.

There is, in some quarters, some doubt as to thegcontinvance of monetary ease sufficiently long to enabie the bulls fo carry out their programme to its full extent, and this produces a partial disposition to we, With & corresponding weakness in e stocks. The Commercial of yesterday atternoon says'—In Governments there, was some confusion in the early transactions, owing to the London quotations for Five-twenties being given at 654. At first it wassapposed to indicate & decline resulting frem the Ledger canard; and this supposition was encouraged by some singulaily erroneous comments in the morning pape! Ultimately, the very obvious explanation, viz: that. the bonds were quoted ex- coupon, after the settling day at the middie of the month, gained acceptance; and it was discovered that Five-twenties instead of being lower. were really one half per cent. higher; under which the price of bonds rose |, per cent. Money is somewhat active. Len- ders find tteasy to get 5 per cent., and the ma. jority of pew transactions are ae done at tbat rate; we hear, however. of no calling in of loans atfower rates. A fair business is doing in discounts at 5a6 per cent for prime names, Gold is without material change. The rate bas peen steady during the morning at Lis qa ley.

The principal object of this report is to present to tbe Board of Regeats, at the beginning of theor session, sach an account of the events ai operations of the previous year is may serve as the basis of their detiber- avons, as well as furnish the materials for s connected history of the Institation. It is also Gesigned to contsin such brief expositions as may tend to keep the public informed as to the true charagter of the establishment, and of the results it is intended to produce The Institution is mot an association of learned men similar to the scientific societies of Europe and America, nor a university for the education of youth, nor an agency for the diffusion of usetal knowledge among the peo-- ple ef the United States, but primarily a toundation for enlarging the boundaries of science by stimulaumg and assisting the re- searches of original inquirers, wherever feand, and for gratuttousty diffusing the reenits of such researches wherever they may conduce to the intellectual or material interests of men. The Secretary says —The most important event of 1804 was the destruction of a part of the Dailding and rts contents by the fire of Jannary 24. This event must continue to form an epoch in the grey bd the Institution; and though it cannot but be considered a most se Tious disaster, it may yet lead to changes of importance im the correction of tendencies which might ultimately have absorbed the an- nual income and neutralized the more liberal policy Which has thus far been pursued.” The report then repeats the facts connected with the origin and results of the fire, and States that “an consideration of the extraordi- nary outlay required for the reconstruction of the building, au effort bas heen made to reduce as much as possible the miscellan S ex- penses, and engage in no enterprise that is not absolutely necessary to the continuance of the general operations. A reference to the report of the executive Inittee wall show that the following is the present condition of the fund First. The whole amount of money original- ly derived from the bequest of Smithson is ll in the treasury of the United States, bear- ing interest at six per cent., paid semi-annual- nd yielding &)0.910 annually. cond. Seventy-five thousand doliars of an extra fund are in bonds of the Stateof Indians, at five per cent. interest, also paid semj-anuu- ally, yielding $3,750. Third. Fifty-three thousand five hundred dollars of the same fund are in bonds of the State of Virginia, twelve thousand in those of Tennessee. and tive hundred in those of Geor- £18, from which nothing has been derived since the commencement of the war The Southern State stocks have increased during the — in marketable value, though no interest has been derived from them The interest on the original fund for the past year bas been paid by the Secretary of easury In coin, under the advice of th licitor of the Department, who, having inves- tigated the subject, decided that in accordance with the usages of the government the Lastitu- tion was entitled thus to be paid At the end of last year there was a balance inthe hands of the treasurer of uneapended interest of €29.4-4.08. which, with the income on the original bequest and premium on coin, madea posable fund of $54 956 of tis sum $49,121.77 have been expended om the building. and $32,115.97 for the maiatenance of the establisbinent and for carrying on ali the operations of the Institution, leaving a balance Of 313,719.63 to be furtber applied to the puild- ing. in view of the great expenditure of the gov- ernment OB &ccount of the war, the Institution did not at first claim, as it justiy might have Gone, the payment of the annual income of the bequest in specie; but atter the great loss sus- tamed by the fire, the necessity could not be avoided of calling the attention of the Secre- tary of the Treas@ry to the subject.” The qu. tion has not yet been settled by the Depart. ment. “A part of the original bequest had been lef in England as the principal of an annuity psy- able to the mother of Smithson’s nephew The annuitant haying Gied,a power of attorney signed by Abraham Lincoln, Presidem of the United States, was sent to Fladgate, Olarke & Fincb, solicitors, in England. authorizing them to collect the money and psy it to the order of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution The proceeds from this, deducting the expenses of collection, we £5,262 Us. 3d.. which were temporarily de d with Geo. Peabody & Co., who not only transacted the business with- out charge, but allowed four per cent. interest on the money while it remained in their hands. The total amount of this residuary legaty re- ceived by the lnstitution, including the inter- est, £153 198. 4d., was $26,2103 im gold. which being sold at the current premium, (about 27,) yielded $54,165 3* in United States currency. This sum was invested in Government bonds, bearing interest at 73-10 per cent, and depos- ited for safe-k ing with Gen. Spinner, the ‘Treasurer of the United States. “It was at firet supposed that the interest on this fund could be immediately applied to the uses of the Institution, but upon @ eritical ex- amination of the enactments of Congress in re~ gard to the bequest, it was found by the So- licitor of the Treasury that the act ot Congress of 1S6 apprepriated only that portion of the momey which was then in the Treasury, and made no provision for the disposition of the residuary legacy. The Secretary of the Insti- tution was therefore called upon by Mr. Fes- senden, Secretary of the Treasury, to deposit this fund to his order in the Treasury of the United States nutl Congress should authorize the appropriation of it to the maintenance or use of the Institution. “The cost of the restoration of the building in fire-prgof materials without changing the ex. ternal appearance has, as formerly stated, been far greater than was anticipated. Whether the portion of the work yet to be executed will inuch exceed in cost that which has already completed, will depend upon the price ef ma- terials and of labor. The Institution may in time be able to finish this work without en- croaching on its present capital, provided the Secretary of the Treasury 1 recognize the inadequacy of the payments of interest, which for three years were made in the depreciated currency of the time. If this allowance be not made, and no assistance be received from Con- gress. then, in order to s@cure the building and its contents from injury by the weather, the institution will be obliged to sacrifice a por- Uon of its extra fund, and wo the extent ot this forever diminish its power to “increase and diffuse knowledge among men.’ While opposed to ssking appropriations from Congress for the maintenance of the Institute, the Secretary thinks the “Government having voluntarily accepted the trust, is bound in good faith to carry out the intentions of the testator, and to make up for any encroachments upon the fands which may have resulted from im- provident or defective legisiation. The cost and maintenance of the building not necessary 1o & realization of the intentions of the founder have been & constant source of extraneous ex- pense, and absorbed a@ large amount of money which ought to have been adden to the active capital, and the question may now be asked with greg whether an appropmation should not be made to restore it of fire-proof materials, and devote all except one wing necessary to the operations of the Institute.) to the purposes of the Government—the ac- commodation of the Army Medical Museum, or the uses of the Agricultural Debartment. The report contains an able review of the operations for the year, and is signed by Pro- fessor Henry, the Secretary of the Institute.
