A writer for the National Intelligencer claims
for Mr. James Bogardus of New York, the credit
of nventing the style OF building of which the
Crystal Palace is the only example in England
In 1886, he made fruitess efforts in England to
obtain capital for carrying out his conception In
1910, after visiting the continent, he returned
home, and soon was enabled to set up his SPLEEN
did establishment in New York city, where the
manufacture of cast iron houses has become a
business of great extent and Importance The
Crystal Palace is therefore a brilliant answer
to the rdicule which the London papers (the
Chronicle exceped) attempt to throw upon the
share OF the United States in the great Exposition.

CITY AFFAIRS.

A Son OF MARS IN LIMBo.-A white man named
William Jones, was picked up in the Valley Wednes-
dayhight by the watchmen, insensbly drunk, and ia
Ken to the cage On being brought before the Mayor

Guard of the disposition he had made OF the prisoner
Mr. JOSEPH R. ANDERSON having petioned the Cir
cult Court for mandamus requiring the City Council
to admit him member OF that body, Judge Caskie,
on Wednesday, caused the Council to be peremptorily
summoned before him on the 25th OF June to show
cause why the mandamus shall not issue.
oY 1t is due to Gentry, one of the parties supposed
to be implicated in the Hogan swindie," to state.
that the time the robbery committed he not only
was not in Tylers house, but absent from the CITY.
AS the negro John Newton) who ran off with the mo.
ney, at the instigaon, he alleges, of Tyler ia the
only person who duplicates Gentry, the Mayor has not
thought the charge sufficiently grave warrant his ar.
rest. We have been induced voluntarily 10 make this

THE CONVENTION.

| Yesterday, the troublesome subject of the Coun-
ty Courts was disposed of by the Committee of
the Whole. A good many amendments to the re-
port of the Standing Committee were adopted, so
that we are unable at present to give accurately
the provisions agreed upon. Their important
features are these Each county is to be divided
into not less Than two districts, and the magis-
trates for each district are TO be elected by the
qualified voters thereof for term offour years.
Not less than three nor more than five justices to
constitute court, except in certain special cases.
The court TO have the jurisdiction now exercised
by the county courts, with such notifications as
the Legislature may hereafter prescribe The
Sheriff to be elected by the qualified voters for
two years, the Commonwealth Attorney for four
and the Surveyor for five.
The proposition to organize the Justices into
a separate "Board of Police" was rejected.
In Convention, yesterday, the committee on the
Supplement reported The report pronounces
the Supplement utterly worthless, but argues
that, if the publisher has not fully complied with
his contract, the only remedy is in a suit on his
bond. 1t is, therefore, recommended that pro-
position submitted by the publisher for the discon-
tnuance of the Supplement be accepted This
proposition is, that the Convention in considera-
ton of the discontinuance, shall subscribe to a
large additional number (14O0 if we recollect
aright) of the "Register of Debates" and, in the
mean time, the reports to be published in the Re-
publican newspaper.
We do not perceive the soundness of the COM
mittee s notion that the Convention has no reme-
dy for non-performance of the contract except
by suit Surely, if the paper or print be not
such as was stipulated for, it is competent to the
body to decline to pay for it. 1.-THE Supplement
has indeed proved to be utterly aoorthless, it is
certainly not what the Convention bargained for.
1t might have been issued with promptness, and in
readable shape, and then it would have been
useful, at least to the members. The want oil
all interest in the debates themselves makes us
perfectly Indifferent to any course the Conven-
ton may think proper to take in the matter. Were
the reports desired by the public, those newspa-
per-proprieors in Richmond who concurred in
the present arrangement might justly object to a
change by which one paper should be allowed to
use the reports exclusively. But regarding the
discussions of the Convention, since the basis de-
bate ended, as so much unread and unreadabe
matter, we suppose our contemporaries will con-
cur with us in thinking it pleasant radiance to
be discharged from the duty of circulating them

THE PENDULUM EXPERIMENT.

The editor ofthe Enquirer, just returned from Wash
ington, states that while there he witnessed Foucaurs
beautiful experiment in successful operation in the Ro-
tunda OF the CAPITOL under the supervision of Commo-
dore Wilkes. Tho authenticity is well estab-
shed that the most ncredulous longer disbe-
leve it. We observe, indeed that the law of the va
ration in the pendulum plane of oscillation has been
automatically elaborated by Foucaut and other men
OF science in France 1t is easy 10 understand that the
plane of oscillation of pendulum at the pole would
describe precisely circle in twenty-four hours and at
The equator, ould have such motion ALL as that
would be inconsistent with the rule ofparaelism. AT
all points between the pole and the equator the time of
the planes revolution would be governed by the latitude
varying from twenty -four hours the pole to infnity at
the equator. This problem of the time of revolution
has been solved for different atitudes and the law
enunciated in the form OF an algebraic equation.

INTERESTING DocUMENTs-I'here are in the possess

twenty volumes OF manuscripts, purchased at an auc-

WIN. G. BRowLow, l.. L. Done of the richest
things that has reached our ears for some time, is the
action of the Memphis College in comforting the de-
