Chief of the fallen brave,
or THE unyielding free,
Her welcome DER the wave
Old England gives TO thee.
On Freedoms chosen shore
Thy foot shall freely tread
On the land that Milton bore
On the land where Hampton bled.
We hail thee, gallant Hun;
We scorn the despots frown.
Though GauPs Republic shun
The wrath of Austria's crown.
Tell Kaisar and tell Car
Britannia knows no fear
Whate'er the fortune of the war,
Their foe finds honor here.
Then fill, fill high the bowl
To Kossuth's glorious name
The scaffold could not daunt his soul.
The dungeon could not tame.
Sublime 'gainst monarchs' might
The world saw Kossuth stand,
For the cause of ancient right,
For his own loved Fatherland.
What, though by traitors aid
The tyrants won the day?
The heart has not decayed,
Or the spirit died away.
We watch for the coming hour,
We gaze for the destined blow,
That shall smite the yictor's power,
And lay the oppressors low.
Yes, scythia's spear shall shiver,
And Austria's sceptre fall
Freely the Magyar's river
Shall flow by Buda's wall.
Far DER the Danube's strand
The fires of Joy shall burn,
While exults the Magyar's land
At her exiled chiefs return.

The MARBLE COLUMNS THE HALL OF REPRE-
sENTATWEs-The New York Commercial Adpr-
tisr publishes suggestion that, under no circum
stances should the beautiful columns of Potomac
or breccia marble be removed from the present
Representatives Hall. These columns are twenty
four in number, and are formed of variegated
marble, taken from the banks of the Potomac
about forty miles from Washington, which was
brought down the river in fiat boats before the
stence of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. II is
sometimes called "calico," or pudding stone"
Shells, gravel, flint, quartz and various other par
tices are distinctly marked in the conglomera-
ton These columns are, no doubt, the hand
soonest in the world, and the admiration of all
behoders. Their capitals white Italian
Bile, after the Corinthan order still remaining
among the ruins of Athens. From these spring
the dome, which is rich and grand, and similar to
the Pantheon of Rome.
Much care necessarily required in shaping
the noble columns, owing to the brittleness of the
material While one workman directed the chisel,
which he held by a wthe, another struck the blow
with a sledge hammer. The comparatively few
fiaws--which could not be avoded-were filed with
colored sealing wax. The polishing was executed
with sand, emery, and putty, rubbed on with
woollen cloths. The columns are in seven or eight
pieces, but the joints well fitted to convey
the impression that they taken, full length,
from the quarry?
MAsoNIC.-At the annual communication of the

SALE OF Docs CHAIN AND CoLLAR.-We be-
lieve that it has repeatedly been decided by the
courts in this District that dogs not property;
and therefore they regarded as 'taxable nui-
sances." If dog be not property, it cannot be
seized in satisfaction of debt At least this was
the view recently taken by constable, who ad-
vertised that, under writ Of feri facias he would,
on the sixth instant, sell, the Centre Market
a dogs collar and ga chain ,cih Newfoundland
dog attached TO The end itp' The articles brought
the of three dollars and sixty two and a. half
cents; but all of this absorbed in the payment
of one weeks keeping of the dog, his transporta-
ton to and from Georgetown, (where he was tenn.
porarily imprisoned or kenneled,) and the fees of
the magistrate and the constable.
