Mr. Dean asked, ami received i his unani

bill to carry into effect a resolution of Con.
Cress passed in August, 1783, to f rect at the
Capiiol of Ihe nation, a collossal Equestrian
Statue of Washington. Il proposes Hn appio
prialion of $50,000, ihe work lo be executed
by Clark Mills, Eq., under the direction of
the President of Ihe United Slates
Mr. Dean wistvd lo have the resolution
referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means. Many voices "Move lo put it
on its passage." "Now," "now." Mr.
Dean had ro objection to this.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn., said it would be
wholly unnecessary lo refer the Bill, as Gen
tlemen understand it as well now, as they
would after Committee had examined it.
All thoy had to do was lo snsppnd the rules
and pass it al onc9. "Agreed !" "Agreed !
Several motions of reference were su
gested.
Mr. bwectzer said, he did not wish Ihe
figure of Washington to be clothed in Ihe Ro
man Toga, but in Ihe Continen al Unifcrm -Cries
of "Good !" "Good !"
Mr. Dean, then in accordance with iho
calls made aiound him, moved the passage
of the Bill. He said it did not require Vah
inglon to be represented in Iho Koman Cos
tume, but merely to carry into effect ihe act
of Congress of 1783. Neither lhat it should
be executed by a foreign artist, for we have
one in our midst, Ihe very best-Clatk Mills,
a man who has achieved in 1 lie equipose of
the horse, what has never before been nccom
plished.
The demand for Iho previous question was
then sustained, and under its operation the
bill was passed.

PHILADELPHIA AND BALTIMonR
The superior enterprise of Baltimore,
when compared with Philadelphia, in en
terprises of internal improvement, is every
where apparent. The Ballimoreans having
just completed the great Baltimore &. Ohio
rail road to Wheeling, are now about con
structing a branch diverging at a point 100
miles east of Wheeling, to Parkerburg, Va.
reaching the Ohio about 100 miles south
west of Wheeling. To this road, the citi
zens of Baltimore, have subscribed a half a
million of dollars. The city has loaned its
aid for one & a half millions, and the Balti
more & Ohio Company one million-making
in all three millions to complete a branch
to their main stem or artery to the Ohio.
In the meantime Philadelphia stands hag-
ling about the propriety of subscribing one
or two millions to the Sunbury and Erie
road, a project of more importance to that
city, than all the roads combined, leading
from Philadelphia and Baltimore to the
Ohio.

LOW FARES ON RAILROAD.
The Canal Commissioners have reduced
the fare on the Columbia Railroad to 2.
cts. per mile. The Pennsylvania Railroad
has done the same. They will have to
come to a much lower figure still, to keep
up with New York and Baltimore. The
New Yorkers are now building a number

E7 The Engineers of the Catlawissa
Rail road are now engaged in exploring
a route between Catlawissa and Milton, in
stead of running through Bloomsburg. The
object is to connect with the Sunbury and
Erie road. ThoMiltonian contends that it
is much the nearest and best route. We
never had much faith in the extension of
the Cuttawissa road to Williamsport, und
we presume the friends of that road are
beginning to have but little- themselves.
We think, they will find, in the end, that
the best and cheapest connection with the
Sunbury and Erie road will be at Sunbury,

C7 Letting of the Sundury and Erie
RailroaI). In another column our readers
will find the allotments of sections, at the
letting of this road, at Williamsport, on the
1-lth inst. The sections reserved are gen
erally light. The bridges, however, will
be a heavy item. The first bridge we pre
sume will cross the North Branch, just be
low the present one at Northumberland.
Pile other bridge, will cross the West
Blanch, a short distance below the Muncy
Dam. The road terminates opposite Wil

fearful that it will continue on the West
side ta Lock Haven.

has purchased the Sunbury Canal, just above
the steam saw mill, from Mr. McCarty of
this place, and are now preparing to dou
ble the lock at the river. The canal will
be made 100 feet wide, from the river to
the gut, a distance of about 1700 feel, and
along this canal and basin, the coal wharfs
will be erected. The work will be com
menced as soon as the weather will permit
and finished without delay. There is not
room enough for the operations of the
Company at the present termination of the

The above paragraph appeared edi
torially in our columns of the 8th inst., as
a gentle reouke to some ol our cotempora

ready made editorial of their neighbors.
But when we saw the gentle hint itself ap
propriated in the same way, we thought it
decidedly the coolest joke of the season, and
only equalled by the elephant in the mena

DA1NIF.L WLBSTER AT THE fUlAVE OF
BIIAKSPEARE.
Mr James T. Fields, of Boston, who has
been in Europe a year or two ago, related in
a lecture, the other night, that he saw an old
gentleman in England, who met Mr. Web
ster at Ihe grave of Shakspeare, and heard
him repeat there, in the most impressive
manner, the passage from Hamlet, on the iin
nioilnlily of Iho sot. I. The old gontlemau
farther said, that he had seen and heard
Buike, Pill, Fox, Sheridan, and other brilliant
luminaries of that day, but he never looked
upon the like of Daniel Webster.
WORTH KNOWING.
Some of the papers, of late, had a para
graph recommending Iho uso of wheal flour
in the case of scalds or burns. A gentleman
al Dayton, Ohio, saw it, and the other day,
as he writes to the Empire, tested it to his
satisfaction. He says :
"While at tho supper table, a little child,
which was seated in its mother's lap, sud
denly ginsped hold of a cup of hoi lea, se
verely scalding its left hand and arm. I im
mediately brought a pan of flour and plunged
i lie arm in it, coverinir entirely tin) parts
scalded with Ihe flour. The effect wus truly
remarkable iho piiin was gono instantly.
I then bnndaged the arm loosely, applying
plenty ol (lour next the. skin, and on ihe fol
lowing morning lliere was not the least si;ii
lhat she had been senlded neislher did the
cliihl suffer the leasl p.iin after the applica

did the same Ihin and so iho Whig got a
