Occupation of the New Hall—Pirst Prayer within it of a Chaplain to Congreys—Exclusion of Lobby Members— Drawing Seats—The Chaplains and the Catholic Priests. ‘The House of Representatives took possession of its new hall to-day. Everything was completely ready for them. The hall, as thoroughly furnished, looked quite handsome, (te rather overdone embellishments not having so bad an effect as io ils eanpty conditiva, Tie galleries, which are capable of seating a thousand persons, were three-fourths Ailed, as the style and fashion of Washington turned outto witness (he inauguration, so ta speak, of the chamber with which the future destinies of the nation are so close- dy identitied. There are no galleries specially reserved for ladies, a+ in the old ball, and I think that the depar ‘Saas fom this system Of exclusiveness is a great improve- anen! It fol! to the lot of the Rev. Andrew G. Carothers, pastor -of the Assembly's church in this city,tosay the first prayer at the opening of proceedings in the new chamber. The sentiment of his prayor was that this hall, now dedicated “by the servants of the Almighty, tue representatives of ute people, as the place wherein the political and consti tutional riguts of our countrymen shaliever be maintained wad defended, may be temple o: honor and glory to the ‘Wand. To this all the people will cordially say “ Amen.’’ «But to effectuate this it will be absolutely necessary for “higher tone of public morality to be catablished among the people's representatives; and this may be ina measure ( z uced by the rigid excl of the horde of corrupting lobby metabers irom the fluor. Mr. Speaker Orr bus “made the first good move in that direction, by positively prohibiting so-called correspondents "for newapa- pers (generally a mere cl ani disguise for lob- by members) from being admitted to the floor of the House. Those wh» are really reporters or atiachés of the press have ucthing to complain of tu that order, for a spacions compartment of the gallery has been cialiy set apart Ww their use ithe first watters of business done bj the House s Is done ¢ slips One was the selection of their seats by members. y jot. The names of all the members, on sepa of paper, are placed ina hat, and a page draws them out one by oue. The seats are al! cleared for the operation—the members retiring to the corridors. The member whose name is written on the slip drawn by the page comes in and selects bis seat, aud by the time that half the names are thus drawn out all (he choice seats are of course occu- pied. Democratic members usuully select their seats in the section to the rightof the Speaker, and repu>lican members in the section to the left. The operation of choosing seats usually occupies about an hour and a half. Both branches of Congress have, this session, abandon- ed the old plan of having pensioned chaplains to open their Proceedings with prayer, ond in lieu of that plan have adopted resointions invitmy the Christian ministers of the District to officiate in turn. To-day a communication was received and read to the House from a Convention of Min- isters, notifying the acceptance of the imvitation and fur- nishing a list of clergymen, to the number of thirty-one, who would act under it. Not a single Roman Catholic clergyman appears on the list, although there are three -or four Catholic churches in Washington, and although a large portion of the population are boliovers iu that fath. How is this? Do the evangelical brethren whe held their et pd who furnished this list, rule Catholic priests “Dot to be included in the term of Christian mintsters)—or ia it that the priests themselves are to biame, in abstain- ing from even business fellowship with their brethren of the cloth? It would be interesting to have an explanation of this somowbat remarkable omission. Annual Report of General Scott, the General- in-Chicf, HeapQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, New York, Nov. 20, 1867. How. J. B. Prorp, Secretary of War:— Sin—As the immediate commander of the army, under ~tho President, Lhave the honor to submit the usual annu- al report on its genera! condition and wants. Our regiments, horse and foot, including artillery (eerv- ing mostly as infantry) are, as I have remarked in former reports, anything but a peace establishment. For years * they have been almost constantly in pursuit of hostile In- dians, through swamps and mountains, in heats and snows, and with no inconsiderable loss of life from frequent com- bats, and a still greater mortality from excessive labor, deprivation nnd disease. In other wars those hardships are occasivnally broken by rest and comfort, now long un- known to nine-tenths of our troops; and hence another great evi!—the numerous desertioas which daily thin their 8. As a partial illustration of the extraordinary activity and sufferings | have spoken of, I bey leave to annex copies of two of my orders—Nos. 4 and 14—of the present year. To mitigate those evils, and to enable us to give a Teagonabie security to our people on Indian frontiers, Measuring thousands of miles, J respectfully cuggest an ‘Augmentation of at least one regiment of horse, (dragoons, cavalry or riffemen), and at. least three regiments of foot (infantry or riflemen.) This augmentation would not more than furnish the reinforcements now'greatly needed in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Wash- ‘ington Territory, Kaasas, Nebraska and Minnesota, leaving not u company for Utah. If the reinforcements should bo autborized as early as January it would be easy, in the present unfortunate want of protitable employment for the ‘of able bodied men to be found idle in every ous diatriet of the country, to make the number of Fecruits needed, and in time for them to reach the thea- tres of military operations in the summer and autumn of ‘1868. Of the relief which the measure would afford toour | population T may not speak in a military paper, Aut to the army and exposed trontiers under its protection it would be immense. It ta eminently desirable, by ail the reasonable means ‘at tho disposition oi the government, to attempt the moral elevation of our enlisted men—that is, all below commis- sioned officers. In physical comforts, whether they are sick or in health, the justice of Congress in respect two sicians, modicines, hospital stores, the pay, and subsistence of everybody, has scarce! let anything to be asked for. (The subject of quarters will ‘De noticed in the sequel.) So, too, in respect to religious instruction, through some twenty and odd military chap- Tains—considering the great number of sects and the habitual dispersion of tae troops—I have nething prac. (cal to suggest. But to render the service honorable, 80 that citixens may freely eniist without the fear of harsh, arbitrary or capricious treatment at the bands of any superior, some additional legislation seems indiapensable, + Lallude to a revision of the rules and articles for the gov- ernment of the armies of the United States, particularly the 45th, 6th, 66th, 67th and 99th of those articles— all respecting the administration of justice.

Itiscorfiued entirely to the modern tontinen tal schools, and comprises specimens of most of the Freneh, German and Dutch masters.

From Mr. Belmont's tong residouce at tie Hague, it was expected that his collection would cons *\ priveipaliy of selections from the Dutch and Flemisiochosts We were agreeably disappointed to find, as will be scen by the above liet, that his predilections have een rather in favor of the French and German schools, wuich must always have our preference. They exhibit more eleya- tion, more catholicity of spirit—if we may use bio tarm— and less conventicnality than either of the others. Inte- rested as we feel in the progress of art in this country, we cannot but rejoice in the acquisition by it of works of such high character as those which constitute the major por- tion of Mr, Belmont’s collection. In view of the efforts made by our leading citizens to form collections that may be deemed werthy to vie with the private galleries abroad, we indulgo in hopefe! antici putions that the time is approaching when steps can be taken to endow our principal cities with similar collections, s0 a3 to form nurseries and echools for the promotion of art. If our tendency to indulge in foreign luxuries were only to take this direction we would be devoting the super- abuadance of our wealth toa useful and a healthy pur” pose. In the meanwhile we are thankful to such mon as Mr. Lennox, Mr. Belmont and Mr, Aspinwall, for placing within reach of our artists the opportunities, which, but for their taste and libesalky , would be denied them. MR. W. H. ASPINWALL’S COLLECTION. Mr Aspinwall is building two spacious galleries at the rear of Lis house on Tenth street, oue of which is to be devoted (o his collection of ancient and the other to his collection of modern paintings. Mr. Aspinwall .s one of our most experienced and discriminating conrvisseurs, and has for many years past been engaged ia a >embliug the contents of these two collections. During lis visits to Europe he has succeeded in picking up specitnens of the most esteemed masters, ancient as wel! as modern, of the different schools. The Murillo, whose arrive! we re- cently noticed, is sald to be a superb work, and its au thenticity is undoubted, having been purchased fom tho collection of the King of Holland. The subjeci is the tun maculate Conception, probably a reproduction ox asmalicr scale of the magnificent painting purchased by thio French government from Marshal Sou‘t, and for whith the cuor- mous price of $125,000 was paid. It is still iying ox its case at Mr. Aspinwall’s residence, and only « fw fa- vored friewis will have an opportunity of seeing { until the spring, when Mr. Aspinwall, on the completion of his galleries, will, it is said, open them to the p. ‘lic in- spection for a few weeks. THE EXHIBITION OF BRITISH ART. This exhibition, which has been closed since the 8th in- stant, in order to afford the necessary facilities for the ar- rangement of Mr. Belmont’s collection, was again thrown open lust night for the inspection of the visiters invited to the private view of that geutleman’s pictures. To-day it will again be open to the geaeral public as a distinct col- lection, and with a separate charge for admission. These who have had an opportunity of inspecting the English collection must haye been highly gratified with its character. In oil landscapes and water colors, in which the English principally excel, it is rich in specimen works of the names best known to us by reputation. One of the most pleasing pictures in this collection is, curious to eay, the one which seems to have least attracted the attention of the critics. We allude to that charming pic- ture, “The Woodyard,’’ »y anthony. fur «xquigite hand ling, truthfulness of detail, fine atmospheric effects, aus the successful infusion of sentiment into a homely subject, it ig not to be excelled. It is quite a relief to turn to it from the pre-Rapbaelite monstrosities which disfigure like excrescences this coliection; for whether in the exag- geration of natural effects, or in the use of symbols as a medium of art expression, we look upon all imitations 0 that school as detestable. ‘The historical pictures of the English Gallery do not add much to its attractions in our eyes. The only specimen by Maclise is a poor ono, and the remainder are inferior in spirit and execution to many that we could name by our own artists. Still, viewing the collection as « whole, it may be regarded as rich tn all the more valuable fea- tures of English art, whilst even its vices and its manner- isms will serve as useful lessons to the ambitious aspiramts amongst our own painters who manifest a dis- position to abandon the natural and true for the grotesque creations of a vitiated taste. Miss Hosmer's fine statue of Beatrice Cenet is still in this gallery, It is a work of unquestionable merit, although it disappoints somewhat the expectations form of \t from previous description, It is bold and effective in its treatment, is carefully executed, and exhibits unmis- takeable evidences of genius. There is something, how- ever, forced and artificial in the position, which mara the spirit of the conception, and which, with a slight altera- tion, might have been avoided. Iu all other respects the work reflects the highest credit on this talented lady, who promizes to add another leaf to the laurels which the genius of Crawford and Powers have conferred upon American art. ‘THE EXUINITION OF FRENCH ART. The exhibition of paintings by modern French artists is ‘attracting increased attention. There are two circum. stances to be regretted in connection with this experiment, which we hope will not be allowed to militate against its repetition. In the first place, the collection, though a most toteresting one, is far from being an adequate representa- tion of the works of the modern French school, Modern it undoubtedly is in the narrowest acceptation of the term, for out of the large number of artists who exhibit there are not twenty who have a reputation of more than baif a dozen years’ standing. With the exception of ene or two specimens by Schetfor, Horace Vernet, Isabey, Meissonier, Chavet, Troyon, and Rosa Bonheur, we find none of the works of the really great artists who have given to the modern French school its deservedly bigh reputation. Still we must be thankfol for the advantages which this collection, limited as it is, will bave conferred upon us. The works oxhibited, though mostiy of recent date, betray something of the inspiration, if they do not exhibit all the evidences of the genius of these masters. A large proportion of the pictures are by pupils of Delaroche, Scheffer, Gros, Delacroix, and other artists of European fame, They display in geueral the characteris- tics of their respective styles, whilst in the generic quali- ties of the French school—anatomical correctness and caroful drawing—they are pot to be excelled. It is these latter features which render the study of such a collection of inestimable benefit to our own artists, and of tho greatest general advantage in the formation of a correct public to ie opportunities afforded at pre-ent to us of contrasting ail the principal modern schools of arteanuot but add grout ly to the slender stock of knowledge which our public pre viously possessed on this subject, whilst at the same timo it will enable our young native artists to correct their de ficlencies by models of admitted excellence, To such of them as, in spite of the difficulties they have had to sur- mouat, have struggled into @ profidless fame amongst their countrymen, they open ap a wider field of patron age by enabling the Intter to appreciate the merit of their works, and by affixing to them a wellascertained standard of vaine, ‘This was what was most wanting for the en couragement of American art, and we have reason to rejoice that a bappy combination of chances should have assembled together in our city atthe same period the elements for such an advance in public taste. ‘The second drawback to which we allude, as interfer ing with the prospect of a further repetition of this expe. riment on the part of French exhibitors, is the unfortu nate circumstance of the collection being opened just at dine when the distress and alarm caused by the recent panic readered our public indifferent to all claims but those of the pressing pecuniary exigencies of the moment. Such @ state of things naturally contributed to render the first few works of the exhibition not only unprofitable, but a heavy charge upon its projectors. ‘The tide ie, however, turning, and the collection is now, we are happy to say, 94 fairly patrguized as apy of the other objects of interest in our city. We trast that the unfavorntio auspices under which it has thus far boen carried on wil! not be mistaken for indifference to the taterests of artou the pari of our public, That such a {,e.ug msy exist to some extent we are free to admit, tor we have a yet educate tie masses to the appreciation ‘works © this character. Lut that there is a large per of our citizens who have the taste and the desire to support art exhibitions for the instruction which they aslor’, and Jor the refining influence which they exercise ob the pulle mind, is well ascertained. Had the British ad Vronth collections been opened at any other periot Wing @ Crisis so terrible as that from which we are just emerging, we are satisfied that they would have been throsged fom morning to night by crowds of eager viewers. 4s im the case of tho sister art, music, paioting and seulpturr have only to sead amongst us from abroad worthy sepresentatives to meet with # cordial and Aiscriminnting put:ouage from the educated portion of our public. We cannot too strongly impress this fact upon the directors of these exhibitions, for we are apprehen- sive thatthe resuks of their present experiments may have the cffeet of discouraging them from prosecuting en- terpriscs which we are convinced must ultimately prove in the highest degree advantageous, both to themselves and to the American public, Nisto’s Ganpey.—-The latest revival here is the cele- brated pautomime of the “Green Monster,” with Antoine asthe White Knight.

L, HEARNE Brooklyn City News, SENTENCE OF GALLAGHER FOR THE MURDER OF HUGH KELLY, Court of Oyer and Terminer—Before Judge Deslaseah Accociates Emmons and Schoonmaker.—Yesterday morn. ing, after opening of the Court, the room was crowded with persons to hear the sentence of Gallagher, who was on Wednesday evening convicted of the murder of Hugh Kelly, on the morning of the 30th of August. Soon after the opening of the Court the prisonor, James Gallagher, was brought in, accompanied by Patrick Kelly, who was | indicted with him. ‘The District Attorney then moved for judgment. The | clerk cailed on the prisoner to stend up, aud recited to him that he had been convictea of murder, and asked him what he had to say why sentence should uot be pass- ed upon him. ‘The prisoner addressed the Conrt, and stated tuat he was entirely’ innocent of the murder. On the night of the murder he went into the saloon and there found a number of his friends. He as! em all up to drink, anc afterwards got some raw oy He then went to the stand and took out @ knife to open an oyster, when he was shoved against by some one and nearly pushed down. lie then started to go vet of the saloon, when Higgins came up behind him and struck him. When he got on the sidewalk he was assaulted by a number of them and knocked down. When he got up be thought they wanted to kill him, and struck out with his knive, right and left, He did not know that any one was stab bed until Le was taken back to the place, after being ar. rested by the officer.

In some of them the lower grades of bonds must continue depreciated, and in liquidation may be seriously cut down from their par value; but the mort- gage bondholders are pretty safe, and will, in the end, absorb the entire property. This may not be accom- plished without long and tedious litigation, but it must result in annihilating the capital stock in every case. Such a process would reduce the cost of the works in the hands of the new owners, and then they might be profit- ably operated. ‘Tho following table will show the balancos in the United States Treasury, subject to the draft of the Treasurer, as reported on the Ist of each mouth, during the current yeni Date of Report.
