The bill to give further remedies to Pa
tentees came up on its third reading.
Mr.. BAYARD stated his objections to the
bill. 1t was framed for the purpose of pro-
tecting the patents of Woodwork and
blanchard, for planning and turning ma
chimes, and was Objectionable upon special
and general grounds.
Mr.. MILLER replied briefly, and defended
the bill; when it was passed by 81 to Is.
The joint resolution providing for print
ing and binding the returns of the seventh
census was received from the House, and
referred to the Committee en- Printing.
Mr.. WELLER, from the Committee On Ter

Mills's w ashingtOn.

The Norfolk News says, that "Buena
VISTA writing to the Boston Post from
Washington, gives some interesting infor-
nation in regard to this noble work of art.
The suggestion at the close of the following
extract, may have considerable force. We
doubt whether the National Monument at
Washington will be completed for many
long years, or whether, when completed to
the height of 500 feet, as design, it will be
work of beauty or solemnity:
l am truly happy to be able to inform
you that the artist Mills is Immediately en-
gaging in his preparations for the colossal
statue to Washington. He has procured
the large open space necessary near the
present national monument, and is living
out the grounds on an extensive scale. He
will have his own boundary, workshops and
structures of all kinds. In the progress of
his great enterprise he proposes to connect
with it an American school of art, in which
he will teach young artists the principles
he has himself acquir ed, for such compen-
sation as they may be able to render him
by their services
You can form some faint idea of the mag
nitude of Mills's proposed statue to Wash
ington, when tell you that the horse is to
measure twelue feet from the tip of the nose
to the tip of the ear. What must the body
be, when such is to be the head! And how
splendid must the colossal horse and rider
appear, as they stand erect on q monument
fifty or hundred feet high!
1t has been suggested that the present
national monument had better be furnished
to MIR. Mills for this purpose. The idea is
worthy of reflection by the people.
We give notice that we intend to follow
up this subjebt in the columns of the Sta.
The matter is one of national Importance, and
every citizen not only of Washington but of
the Reptile should take an interest in it.
ANOTHER SoUALL.--The custom of naming
ships after squalls, such as the Black Souall.
White Squat, Snow Squall, &C., is to be
further carried out by bachelor shipbuilder
down East, by naming new clipper the
Nursery Squat. Instead of choking the
compass" he ought to have his ears boxed
by all the pretty girls in his neighborhood

Doctor is rich. When men are sick. thew
want to be cured, cost what it may, but when
they are on their feet, and at their business
again, they do not want to pay, especially if
the bill be little one. The poor doctor is
called from his bed on stormy night with
the stirring summons
'Doctor-want you to come right straight
away off to Banks's. His child's dead"
AneA why 10 you come Z!
"He's p'isoned. They gin him laud mum
for paregoricky."
Chow much have they given him ?"
"Do mo. A great deal. Think he won't
get over it,
The doctor pushes off through the storm,
meets with divers mishaps by the way, and
at length arrives at the house of his poisoned
patient. He finds all closed-not a light to

Alb0ni and the HonOrables.

Madame Alboni, the celebrated singer,
having visited as spectator sthe great and
general court" of Massachusetts,, quite
scene occurred-ef which We find the fol-
lowing graphic account in the Boston Times:
MIR. Cogswell of Bedford moved to lay the
orders of the day on the table, with the view
to his offering motion having reference to
a distinguished lady now in the gallery of
the House (Madame Alboni.) The House
concurred by vote of SO to 49,
Mr.. Cogswell rose to present his motion;
but sundry voices called for an adjournment.
The question was put and negatived, by
vote of 1873 to &c.
Mr.. Cogswell then rose and said, that
distinguished lady being now present in the
eastern gallery of the House, as a mark of
respect to her, and as duty he owed his
constituents, he moved that Madame Alboni
be allowed to take seat in the body of the
House.
Mr.. Stevenson of Boston rose, and, with
manifest feeling, said-'Mr. Speaker: l
move that the motion be rejected"
Mr.. Prince of Essex moved to amend the
motion, so as to provide that Madame Alboni
cofn fo fha bou
Cogswell.)
Mr.. Cogswell said-'I accept the amend
ment."
Mr.. Thompson of Boston said that, as the
lady had left the House, the gentleman from
Bedford would, perhaps, withdraw his mo-
ton.
Several demands were made for an adjourn
ment; but Mr.. Butler Of Lowell. had the
floor, and was proceeding to speak, when
the Speaker declared that the subject before
the House admitted of no debate.
The greatest confusion prevailed, over and
above all of which Mr.. Buffers voice was
heard demanding hearing On the under
standing that his remarks were to be spe-
cially devoted to question of order, Mr..
Butler was granted hearing, when he said
-'Mr. Speaker: A lady comes into this
House, lady, strand it is not therefore
decorous to make sport Of lady trust,
sir that this matter will come to an end"
Mr.. Cogswell then withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Thompson of Boston said, 50 trust,
Mr.. Speaker, that no notice of this proceed
ing will be put on the record of this House."
The Speaker. 1t shall be so. No notice
will be made of the motou on the journal
by the clerk.
A motion to adjourn was then made and
agreed to-the House meantime, and for
several minutes previously, being in state
of great excitement and confusion.
Madame Alboni was accompanied by her
husband, the Count Pepoli, Signor Revere,
and Mr.. LIE Grand Smith. They visited both
branches of the Legislature, were introduced
to Hon. Judge Warren, Major Brinley, Mr..
kellogg and Mr.. Cook, of the Senate, and
to various members Of the House, and Mad
anne would doubtless have been much pleased
with the visit had it not been for the noto-
riety given her presence by the uneasy pet
ticoat from Bedford.
