GT The Masons of New York propose to erect a monument to the memory of the lamented Dr. Kane, and place the figurehead of the Advance upon it. Kr. Kane gives the following interesting account of this figurehead. in describing his desertion of this vessel, around which the ice yet clings:
 We went upon deck. The flags were hoist ed and hauled down again, and our party walk ed once or twice around the brig, looking at her timbers and exchanging comments upon the scars, which remind them of every stage of her dismantling. Our 6gure-head, the fair Augusta, the little blue girl with pink checks who lost her breast by an iceberg, and her nose by nip off Bedevilled Beach, was taken from our bows and placed abroad the Hope. "She is at any rate wood" said the men, when hesitated about giving them the additional bur- den "and if we cannot carry her far we can burn her."

THE PLEASURES OF HEAvEN.-J eremy Tay- Tor, speaking of the widow of a blacksmith, who was constantly laboring to procure the necessaries of life, thus quaintly portrays her character:
 "Thus she lived poor, patient and resigned. Her heart was passion flower, bearing within 1t the crown of thorus and the cross of Christ. Her ideas of heaven were few and simple.- She rejected the doctrine that it was the place oi constant activity, and not of repose, and be- lleved that when she at length reached it she would work no more, but sit in clean white apron and sing psalms"

l much patriotism. 1 frankly confess that 1 am proud to represent my constituents on the floor of the American Congress; but if you take away the pay attached to the position, you will take with it such a portion of my patriotism as will force me to return to my constituents in Arkan- sas, and work again there an humble citizen as have been wont to do. But 1 say, if gen. tlemen want reform, they ought to commence at head quarters. Let them strike the first blow at members of Congress, and then I will possibly assist them in striking at the small fry, if may use such term. But as it is, 1 shall vote ageinst this bill. I shall vote against any measure that does not propose first to reduce the salaries of higher officers, of those who per 2 form less service. There is no member on this floor who performs as arduous services as many of these clerks do, and even as these little pages do. Theirs is a kind of physical labor which any of us would shrink from performing.
 And now, sir, as this is a matter which is to 20 to the country, matter out of which political capital is to be made-as there is nothing like a cry of retrenchment and reform for popularity among the masses of the country; as it sounds well in the ears of the dear people to swear ir favor of strict economy and retrenchment-l move for the purpose of giving gentlemen ar opportunity of expressing their views on the subject to refer it to the committee of the whol' on the state of the Union.

In Cor gress yesterday, memorial was presented
to the SENATE by Mr. Cameron, from citizens
of Pennsylvaoia in favor Of a line Of mail steamer
between Pbiladelpbs and Brazil Mr. Hunter
withdrew his motion for an evening session. Mr.
Polk made singuariy ingenious speech, which
gave new colorng to the history of Kansas,
and of its connection with Missouri. No frauds,
no armed invasons have, according to Mr. Polk,
been praoticed upon "the sweepngs of Eastera
cities" who went into the new Territory to settle.
To produce perfect peace there, the Senator pre-
scribed Lecompton Mr. Benjamin followed with
o speech mainly devoted to the action of the
judges who made the bred Scott decision. The
Senate then passed the House Printing Deficiency
bill and adjoorned.
z In the HOUSE the second struggle on the Le-
compton fraud was commenced under the lead OF
Col Harris and showed preponderance OF
strength on the right side. The Speaker was over
ruled in partisan decision against Col. Harris by
tie decisive vote of ll2 to 81. OF course thus
implies prepOnd.rance of absentees on the side OF
LecomptOD, as well as clear perception that the
Speaker was wrong, but it was evident that the Lee
complexities were under the weather Thereupon,
on motion Of Humphrey Marshal who Yields the
balance Of power, and viii ultimately pass or def'at
Lecompton as he sees fl the whole subject was
nut over to this day We hope to be able to
chronicle in our next that Orr and Stephens have
been rebuked and the investigation directed BY the
House insured.

charges for work done, charges for work never
done at all alteration of contracts, and utter disre
gard Of the law requiring contracts to be given 10
the lowest bidders, there would BE- an end OF ek-
posures from the Street Department. But there Is
another depth STILL and that pure and spotess con-
tractor, Mr.. Charles Deylin, and his man OF all
work, Charles Turner, are st the bottom of II.
After showing case in Fifty first street, where
Turner's interlineations in the contract swell the
job from SI3,O44 81 to $50, l67 06, and another 10
the Sixth avenue where Deyln as contractor gets
extra allowances in Turner's handwriting amount
ing to nearly ~, 900 on job Of $4,000, the Street
Commissioner opens a new seal and shows tha'
Deyln, with the conniyance of the Department,
has gone about the city here and there doing odd
jobs of work never asked for by the people and
never ordered by the Common Council. When the
work was done Turner would arrange the Pnce
with Deyln. certify the papers and send them 70
the Assessors BY whom the amount would be LEVIED
upon the property. These assessments were oil
cousre. confirmed by the Common Council none
but the initiated knowing anything about 1t; ana
the property owners were duly heeced out oil
the money. What pity it is that this precious
pair. Devhn and Turner, should be denied tne
custody of the recc rds which furnish these choice
Developments.

Another paper from the Street Department ex-
posing long list of frauds upon the people, was
sent to tie Common Council last night by Mr..
Cobover. These crushing exposures seem to dis
tub some Of the Aldermen very much. Nr Nc
Spedon was of the opinion that such communica-
tious were of no advantage to the City, for the
reason that Mr.. Conover was not lawfully entitled
to the Office of Street Commissioner. He thought
the Mayor ought to have put the Department into
the charge Of a Committee of the Common Council,
rather than allow this troublesome COnOyer to re.
main there. No doubt the virtuOus McSpedOn
would be quite willing to as chairman of such
committee. He was chairman Of the Finance
Committee last year, and in addition to the same
place this year, is the most active member of the
Committee on Assessments and therefore ought to
know all about these enormous frauds. But 1t may
be that he would rather turn his attention to the
subject Of City Printing, which may some day be
oyerhaued. He is no doubt prepared to show that
he has not in direct violation of the charter been
partner or in any way interested since 1856 in
the concern which was the firm of McSpedon &
Baker; and he may further show how il is that he
and Mr. Baker have kept the printing at most
liberal rates in defiance of the contract provisions
of the charter. He can also undoubtedly produce
good reasons for the surprising increase in the
amount Of printing, for the printing of documents
in the minutes as well as separately, for the care
fully elaborated indexes done at 80 much page as
for instance in Vol. XIV of the Proceedings of
the Aldermen and Councilmen, where $40 pages of
text are sadded with 3l4 pages of index printed in
the same style as tie body of the work. When
Mr.. McSpedon hes explained these little matters
including the reason why the appropriation for
printing has risen from SIC, 900 to SS5, 900 year
within short period it will be time enough to move
that the St'eet Department be put into the hands
of tie body Of which he is so distinguished mem
