crease of assessments.
MI Magruder then, by leave, struck out of
the Dill the word tncrease, and otherwise
amended it, so as to deprive the proposed
board OF any powers, except to act on appeal
mr Houston suggested that they be allowed

proposed.
Mr.. Magruder explained that that would

pay enough for the proposed board of appeal.
MI Pepper called the attention of the last

sors was always increased on their petition To
that end. 1t was idle to expect comnetent

Virginia Washington Monument.

1t is with sincere pleasure that announce
that the beautiful and solid granite structure of
the Virginia Washington Monument, in the Cap
itol Square, is now completed. 1t rises to the
height of forty feet, and its top is to be erect
ed a splendid bronze equestrian statute of Wash
ington twenty feet high, which will make the
whole height of the monument sixty feet from
the ground Yesterday we enjoyed splendid
view from the top of the monument, after ascend
ing an elegant and substantial spiral cast iron
staircase leading up through the interior from
the massive and solid granite door on the South
The monument is now ready for the reception OF
the statues, of which two, Patrick Henry and
Thomas Jefferson, each thirteen feet high, have
been cast in bronze at Munich under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Crawford and third, magnificent
equestrian group of Washington 20 feet high is
now in the act Of being modelled at Rome by the
same sculptor artist. We have strong hopes that
this last named statue Will be completed during
the present year, so that the monument may be
solemnly inaugurated on the 22d February, 1855,
just five years from the laying Of the corner
stone.
Familiar with the progress OF the
Monument, we take great pleasure in testifying
to the skill, energy and untiring industry which
Mr.. E. W. Herbert, the superintendent, has
shown in completing the granite masonry. He
has located himself in Richmond to prosecute his
important labors, and this monument is a most
honorable and valuable evidence Of his merits
and success. We should add that broad flag
ging around the base of the monument is still to
be laid in concrete-but that will be done in
fey, months.-Rickmoad Enquirer, 28h.
