WAsHINaToN LIGHT INFANrRY.-A legionary
court, composed of field and company officers, was
recently called by the commanding officer, Colonel
Hickey, to investigate the cause of the absence
from the regimental parade on the second instant
of the company of Washington Light Infantry,
commanded by Captain Tate. From the explana.
ton of this gentleman, it did appear that there
was any intention of disobedience or insubordina-
ton the part of the officers of the company, and
therefore, we learn, the court released them
from censure in the premises. Presenting that
any misunderstanding which may have existed is
now adjusted, We trust that on the occasion of the
next regmental parade the public may have the
pleasure of seeing the popular Light Infantry corps
IN its proper positon-right of the line.
The PATENT OFFICE is undergoing renovation,
the interior being newly painted and secured, and
the accumulated rubbish Of years removed. Ma
hogany desks and others of less valuable mate
rial, and even plaster of paris busts, serving as
model room has been considerably improved in
appearance, and there is about it an air of
cleanliness which contrasts strongly with it former
dinginess. We regret, however, that the National
Gallery, containing the collections of the South
Sea Exploring Expedition, and other objects of
interest, has not been highly appreciated as the
other parts of the building; but perhaps when the
new Commissioner of Patents shall enter upon the
performance of his duties, (Which we learn will be
on Monday next,) he will direct the paint and
varniah operations to be extended thither ls.t
