BRITISH SLAvEs.-The New York Courier
is unmasking British philanthropy as it
exists in the East Indies. 1t says:
''To prove how utterly hypocritical and
heartless is their pretended sympathy for
the three millions of African slaves in the
United States, it can gloat over and fatten
upon the unheard of misery of $50 millions
of British slaves in India, from whom they
annually extract net revenue of sixty
millions of dollars, through the yearly
sacrifice Of more lives than there are slaves
in the whole United States"

ARCHITECTURAL GEOLOGY.
BY JOSIAH HOLBROOK,


Granite, limestone, (marbles,) and sand
stone, are the materials of the National
Public Buildings in Washington. They are
also the principal building materials in all
countries and all ages of the world, being
the great geological formations of our
globe.
Gaeiss, one of the three members of the
granite family of rocks, is the basement
materials of all the public buildings in
Washington. 1t is obtained from the banks
of the Potomac, from three to eight miles
above this city. 1t is slaty granite, and
readily split into masses of any convenient
size and thickness for the foundation of
buildings, footwalks; and other purposes to
which it is applied. Through the masses
obtained from the deposites on the Potomac
are thickly interspersed small crystals of
iron pyrites, (frestone,) or the sulphuret of
iron, showing, by reflections from the sun,
numerous specks, with the brilliancy of
gold, to the passers on the walks.
The body of the old Capitol, of the Pres
ident's House. the Treasury Buildings, and
the Patent Office, are of grey sandstone,
also from the banks of the Potomac, some
fifty miles below Washington. The Smith
sonian is of red sandstone, twenty five
miles up the Potomac. The pillars in the
Representatives. Chamber in the Capitol are
of calcareous puddingstone, consisting of
cemented pebbles, varying from the size of
pea to that of goose egg, or larger,
sixty miles up the Potomac.
The New Capitol, enlargement the
Post Office, the Washington Monument, and
the wings Of the Patent Office, now in pro-
gress, are all of marble-all limestone. The
first is in fine grains, principally white,
having much of the appearance of loaf
sugar, closely resembling the Italian statu-
airy marble. 1t comes from Berkshire co.
Massachusetts,. The Post Office is q white
marble, of larger, fatter grains than the
Capitol, and was brought from Westchester
county, New York. The Washington Mon
ument, and wings of the Patent Office, are
marble Of sparry texture, consisting OF
fat crystals, nearly the size of half dime,
and very white, from Baltimore county,
Maryland. Portions of several of the pub
lie buildings are of beautiful granite, from
