TH1RrY-FouRrH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10

House Continued.
Messrs. QUitman of Mississippi, and Grow
of Pennsylvania then spoke, one defending
the South and the other the North, concern
ing the slavery question. Mr.. Colfax of In
diana gave history of the plurality rule of
l849, saying that before its adoption eighty
similar propositions came from the Democrats
and one from-the Wings; the Democrats then
claimed to have the majority, but owing to
DETECTION i'll the ranks, they could not all un-
lite on a candidate for speaker. The Republic
cans are now similarly situated, and should
have the benefit of the rule. The Democrats
denounce the Wings as bitterly as they do the
Republicans now.
Mr.. Bocock of Virginia said if this was
mere squabble between national parties, there
could De no serious objection to the plurality
rules the old Wing party was as white as
snow compared with the crimson guilt, speak
ing politically, of the Republican party.
When he saw that its adoption would result
in the, election of sectional candidate, he
would be justified in resisting it till the crack
of doom. Mr. Savage of Tennessee, expressed
the same views.
In the course of debate, Messrs. Humphrey
Marshall of Kentucky, and Harris of Illinois,
earnestly denied that Henry Clay favored the
passage of the Missouri restriction. After
considerable debate, Mr.. Clingman offered a
resolution that, for one week, unless a Speak
be s0oner elected, DO debate should he i'll
order, unless by unanimous consent. Adopt
ed by forty five majority. Adjourned.

CURIOUS Work OF CALIGRAPHto ART.-
There is now in New York curious work of
caligraphic art, being no less than complete
transcription of the HOLY Bible, on surface
about the size of an ordinary mantel pier
glass, the words Of the same being so ingeni-
ouely arranged and grouped, as to form the
represention of beautiful temple, while at
the some time no one word is omitted, no sen.
fences transposed and the several chapters
follow each other in proper order. At first
view the spectator perceives only well-ar-
ranged architectural drawing, delicate and
exact, but on close examination, (some por-
tionsrequiring the aid of magnifying glass;
every par Of the elevation, each window and
doorway, each apparent line and curve of
column, cornice and entablature, everything
in short about the picture, except a slight
shading, is resolved into distinct and regular
handwriting This wonderful production was
executed by Polish gentleman by the name
OF David Davidson, who finished his task a
few weeks since after two years and seven
months OF constant labor-he having, more
over, so imperfect knoweedgea of our Ian
guage, that the accuracy of the text must
have depended almost entirely upon his fidel-
ity as copyist. A gentleman and lQdS Of
Boston, recently paid a visit to Mr.. DIS room
in New York, and becon1ing much interested
in his performances, obtained his promise Of a
specimen. Within a few days they received
from him what. appeared to be their own
names prettily written on ornamented paper
one Of which names was found to embody the
book OF Ruth, while the other contained the
chapters Of Jonah. -TBoston Transcript.

appeal was warmly responded to by the mass
