PAINEs LIGHT.-The Worcester Spy, of a
late date, says:
1--WE saw it in operation last evening in our
Office, examined it infinitely, catalized the oxy-
gen ourself, and read by the light so produced,
which is equal, if not superior, to the best gas
burned in the cities The fame is peculiarly
bright and brilliant, burns with n clear steady
light, is entirely inodorous, and during the half
hour that we watched its operation we could
see no consumption Of the catalizing material.
Inc whole apparatus which we saw could not
nave cost more than couple Of dollars, and it
was capable OF furnishing all the light needed
for the illumination Of an ordinary sized room. >

Mr.. BULwER AND TIE INDIGNATION MEETING
Men who can be guilty of forgery and Islander
are infamous, and cannot be defended without
disgrace to their advocates. We expressed this
sentiment yesterday, and take pleasure in re-
peating it to-day. 1t is sentiment in which
every honorable man, of every nation will con-
cur.
We have received communication, which is
too long for our present issue, and in which the
writer-whose fair intentions we do not wish
to impugn-attempts to defend from our denun-
citation the Boston editor, and those who
were associated with him in the recent strug-
giles for liberty in Ireland" If "the Bos-
ton editor" was imposed upon, and really be-
ieved the spurious despatch to be genuine, we
shall, for his sake, rejoice to learn that fact !;
but to denounce the author of base and ma
ignant attempt to excite the preudices of the
American people against the Ambassador of
friendly power, and gentleman who, SO far as
we have any means of knowing, entertains the
most kindly feelings toward us, is duty that,
as an American citizen-of Celtic descent, as
our correspondent rightly supposcs--we cannot
omit
The attempt to turn our denunciation toward |
any other persons than those who are response
BILE for the fabrication in question: 1.-THE editors of
the 'Celt," or the author, but especially toward
the worthy and patriotic men who have shown
their devotion to the cause of freedom in Ire
land, or in any other land, is fruitess, and will
not be repeated by one who is disposed to be
just and truthful

THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
We learn that the President of the United
States has finally determined upon general
plan for the enlargement of the Capitol.

members of the Cabinet, of the United States
Typographical and Engineer Corps, Architects
with new plans, and several citizens of Wash
office, at one o'clock, and hearing was had
on the subject during a session of about two
hours rsas
Yesterday, the Cabinet, together with certain
officers of the army, were again assembled; ana,
after session of like duration, an adjournment
took place, without the announcement of a de-
cision
that at least the general outline of n plan had
been determined on was made by the Presi-
dent, at the Presidential office, to number of
architects and other gentlemen.
In regard to the plan chosen, we have not
been able to learn whether it is an eastern
extension" or swing plan J" but we learn
that the work is to be commenced Immediately,
which fact we are delighted to announce, as it
will be gratifying news to our worthy mechanics
and laborers.
We are proud to know that the President has
realized the full Importance of this great I'M
dertaking, and that he has not acted without
the most deliberate examination and reflection,
and the aid of all means of correct knowledge
to which it was possible for him to obtain ac-
cess.
That his labors will be appreciated and ap-
proved by his countrymen is our earnest desire
and expectation.
