A quorum of Republicans are now pres
ent in the House and they mean business
for the rest Of the session. The House
has passed the Direct Tax bill, which was
passed by the Senate at the last session
with an amendment providing that no
money shall be paid TO any State until the
Legislature Of that State shall authorize
the giving of receipt to the United States
In full for all claims, and this afternoon
the shipping bill is TO be voted upon, and
its passage is practically assured, although
Its ultimate fate may be endangered by
amendments that will make its return to
the Senate necessary. The Democrats, as
they always do when they find themselves
helpless, have abandoned their filbuster-
ing, and are now protesting to be anxious
to aid in pushing the appropriation bille
through in order to avoid an extra ses-
sion. It's only hypocrisy though; they ara
still hoping for an extra session, and are
ready to take advantage of anything that
may turn up to help them in making one

Doctor Andrew Smythe, superintend
ent Of the U. 8. Mint in this city, has
piece OF glass about one inch wide by twt
inches in length, on which in space NJ
larger than the fractional part Of the enc
Of hair, the Lords prayer is neatly nnC
legibly engraved.
Under powerful magnifying glass th,
letters appear clear and distinct, eyery
It" and every "i' dotted. The entire pray
er of 227 letters occupies the space Of bu
one-forietb Of the end Of a hair OF
1-405,00o part Of square inch, the entire
space being smaller than the poin, Of the
the finest cambric needle and wholly in
distinguishable to the naked eye. The
doctor also has another small piece OF
glass on which the second chapter OF st.
John, composed OF 2,O7O letters, is engrav-
ed in space of 1-2eOO part Of a square
inch. These are believed 10 be the only
specimens Of the kind in this country and
were procured in Europe by DIR. Smythe
after several months patient waiting and
at no small expense.
They are the production of an old En-
gllsh blacksmith, whose dissolute habits
are such that but small portion Of his
time can be devoted to the business, and
even then much difficulty Is experienced
In persuading him TO the task.
The engraving is executed by means Of
leyer or pantagraph, which Is operated
at distance Of several feet from the glass,
the lever being diamond pointed and man
ipulated through system Of the finest
and most delicate machinery, the artist
being aided by the highest power magui.

They are certainly the most wonderful
exhibits OF inhnitesimalism eyer produced

Doctor Smythe, the happy possessor Of
these little gems, is one Of the most learn.
cd and distinguished men OF the country,
being q recognized authority In this sec
tion on medicine and surgery, devoting
much OF his time to scientific research and
study. BY a careful computation we fipd
that the system employed by this bibulous
blacksmith would permit OF the entire
bible, both old and new Testaments, to be
engraved 20 times In the space Of square
inch. When you take into consideration
that the old Testament contains 2,72S 800
letters, the new Testament s8s,3eO. or
total OF 3,5G7, iSO letters. the Doctors as.
sertion seems iucreditable, II not beyond

THE direct tax bill is likely to become q
law. At the beginning of the extra ses-
sion Of Congress July 4th, 1851, Secretary
Chase recommended TO Congress as fol-
lows: "The estimates Of the year required
s319.OOO,OOO; that sSO,OOO,0OO of this, or
the amount required for the ordinary ex.
penses. sfould be raised by taxation, and
that S240,OOO,0O0 must be borrowed. He
proposed an inc, ease of the duties, which
he estimated would raise the customs to
S57, 7,0O00 900, and he estimated that the
lands would give s3,OOOOOO He also ad-
vised a tax on real and personal estate, 10
give the remaining S9O,OOO,OOO TO make
up $SO,0OO,OOO lie also proposed re-
duclion Of 40 per cent on all salaries. 1"
All the States were called upon to contrib
ute, but those 10 rebellion declined with
thanks. Ohio contributed her share,
which will amount to sl,4OO,OOO The

count of ii being unconstitutional Pres.
