Immediately after it was read, Mr. Walsh, of New York, said that before the House comphed with ahe request of the democratic comunittee, he wished to make an enquiry res- pecting a geatleman formerly extensively engaged ia the pill business, for the purpose ot purging the public body,and who, ifthe convention wasallow- ed to meet in this chamber, might purge it of the public documents which were lying upon the desks ef members. The enquiry which he wish- ed to make was, whether Dr. Hrandreth’s name was attacked to the communication just read. The Speaker replied that the paper was signed by Mr. J. V..L. Pruyn alone. Mr. Walsh moved that the request of the De- mocratic State Central Committee of the Cass section be denied. Mr. Coe, of Livingston,who, as a speaker, ap- proaches John Randolph more nearly than any other ae mdn, moved that the favor asked be granted. oThis motion was of course debateable, and. Mr. Walsh was not slow to avail himself of the permission of the House to discuss the motion. He indulged in some harsh stric- tures upon the conservative wing of the dein- ccratic party, which he asserted was _vom- posed of a wang of mock custom house patriots— of men overflowing with patriotism, not to the country, but to the men who have the power to keep them in office. He opposed the motion to grent the use of the chamber to this convention, on the ground that if they were allowed to meet here, all the portable property in the chamber wouid be carried away; and he especially and publicly enjoined the sergeant at arms, if the re- quest was granted, to.lock up his (Mr. Waish’s) documents. ‘ie remarks of Mr. W. were re- ceived with bursts of laugiter, in all parts of the House. The poor fellows comprising the coa- servative wing were treated in a mosi merciless way ; their organization was hooted atas irregu- lar, und their claims to the title ef a distinct party were denied by Mr. W. They were simply. the outlins or the skeleton of an‘old party, without any of the snbstantial internal combinations called entrails; they were shadows groping af- ter shadows; they were eatitled to no mercy nor pity; though tacir power to. do evil was gore, yet, ii they were adinitted into this chamber, they would steal the public documents; he hoped, therefore, that the desire of the demo- eretic State Central Committee of the Cass sec- co" weaid dat be granted. _ But the request of the committee was graated, aad the convention will meet in the Assemoly chamber to-morrow «afternoon.

They have a very curious appearance, somewhat like tne ruffled water of a lake suddenly frozen, Sud in summer present beautiful contrast to the sur- roundiug scenery. They are white, like snow, snd yet remain stationary. It is difficuit to say how they are | formed —one theory is, that they are caused by a pres- sure on the top of ihe mountains, and the water runviog beneath them is frozen as it descends the sides of the mouutains There are other theories, but it is difficult to say which isthe correct one, They descend to the valley in the winter season, and in the summer they dis- ‘“ppear till you reach a certain height on the mountains.

The minutes of the Preceding meeting were read and approved. Mr Boswonvn said that before the regular business an called up, be wished to make @ few observations in relation to some remarks of the commissioner of the 5th ward. At the last meeting of the Board, he, the com- micsioner of the 5th, stated, “he had been to examine the foundation of the free academy, and he found upon examivation that it had sunk two inches, and in some places more;” at least it was so stated in the public press. Mr. Bosworth bsgged to assure the Board ond the commissioner of the oth, that he was in error, for he had gone there to-day and examined the foundatioa in company with Mr Brady, the contractor, and so far es bisown judgment went, he could-obeerve not the slightest alteration in the walls. Mr. Brady elno an- sared him that the foundation had not sunk, nor wan it likely to do to, unless the ground gave way, which he did not anticipate. Mr, Burecken said that when he examined the foun- dation he was very particular in doing 80. On the firat day he went there he found it had sonk two inches at and ridiculeapdeants the second day he went he found that all thmde- ots he paw the firat day wore net to rights. It was | very easy to do these thins; and when a person goes thers who is not @ practical mar, and does not vider. stand the subject, it is not to by expected that he vaa see all its defects, Tle, Mr. Bleecker, coaversed this moraing with a practical gentleman, who told him that the foundation would surely ssttle, and that Mir. Brady had said that when a structure wrs raised upon 40 feet of it, that portion would certainly go down; but ell re- sporsibility was taken from him by Mr. Renwiek, the architect. He, Mr. Bleecker, wished to have a good sub- stantial building, and he thought a surveyor ought to be called to have it surveyed before it was further pro- ceeded with. This he, Mr. B, thought would be a pru- fore step, and he thought no objection ought to be made to Mr. Bosworth, in reply, said that Mr. Brady had told him this morping that tne foundation had not settled, nor did he think it would. He. Mr. Bosworth, admitted that Mr. Brady had told him that all responsibility was taken from his-shoulders by the architect. ‘here being no question before the Board, the conversation then dropped.
