In the interior of the Church, however, the
most remarkable and beautiful improvements
and ad lltonshve been made. Two galleries
have been erected, which are extremely neat
and tasteful in design and execution, and which,
with the alterations in the ceiling, absolutely
gives the main body of the Church an appear
ancc Of greater roo illness. This effect is ow-
ing to the artistic skill OF the architects, Messrs
s. g. w. pArEE. We cannot speak in too
HIGH praise of the very fine carpentry work
1'h Gothic pannellng and pendants, both in
the ceiling of the main body of the Church, and
in that OF the Chancel, are beautifully executed.
Owing TO the necessity Of preserving the
strengthening tlmbers and braces, it was found
impossible to make the ceiling of the principal
building what the Messrs. PATEE desired
though those of our readers who have seen it
will agree with us that it is beautifully manag-
ed even under this embarrassment. 1t is a
truncated cone, but SO arranged as scarcely to
suggest any re Lret that it were not more pure
y Gothic. But the ceiling Of the Chancel is
entirely unobiectionlble and beautiful, in taste
and execution. This ne,U portion OF the cdlice
enabled our competent young artiSts,th Messrs.
PATEE, to carry out, in beautiful proportion,
their well formed design. We very cordially
congratulate them on the complete success
which has crowned their work on this edlfce,
while, at the same time, congratulate our
citizens on having such means within their
reach, as the Messrs PATEE afford, for cor
rect and elegant architecture.
The r;adotrs in the Church are all of
s,ai,led glass that in the rear of the Chuncel
being very elegant and costly.
The Church is warmed by Furnaces below
and its added seats will accommodate some
250 people.
he lower and especially the Front Door, of
the Church have been greatly improved--the
present door, in It's handsome proportions,
being in marked contrast with the prlson-like
affair it supercedes and, on the whole, st.
Paul's Church is credit and ornament to Bur
iington.
We take pleasure in saying that the painting,
in imitation of ouk-work, executed by Messrs.
SPAULprNG & Russell, is in the highest de
gree crcditabie to them. We have never seen
a finer specimen of outing than the ommd.
mon able, though every part of their work is
exceedingly well done
We cannot conclude this very brief notice
without saying that great credit is due to Bjsh-
op IloPKiSs, whose cultivated taste in suck
matters is well known, for these beautiful and
appropriate Improvements, and to noMAs II
CANrlrLD Esq, for his energy and efficiency
in carrying them INTO effect. The whole eX-

The Capitol is in flames, and already
the valuable library Of Congress is entrel
destroyed.
The fire was first discovered about sun
rise by watchman and some time elapsed
before the general alarm was given. The
watchmen endeavored for one or two hours
to extinguish the flame with buckets, but
unsuccesslully. The engines were de-
layed, having been engaged during the lat
ter part of the night at another fire, which
destroyed Bakers Hotel, in The rear Of the
Iutelligencer office and the Franklin Inn.
The flames at the Capitol would have been
subdued at much earlier period, but the
intense cold weather made the hose
unserviceahle by freezing. The fire is
supposed to have caught from the hues
come cted with the furnaces of the main
basement of The Capitol. All the fire
companies belonging to Washington an d
one or more from Alexandria were on hand
rendering efficient services. Pres. Fill
more, the Mayor, Speaker Boyd and nu-
merous members Of Congress were early
on the ground rendering all the aid in their
power. The library presents one black
ened mass of ruins.
