Of tie said Board.


Hesoiped That the expensesbe betrayed out ofhe
lingent fund


In pursuance of the above resolution, we under
stand that Mr.. Strickland has examined the con
strue}on Of the Hall, aud that he has been invited
by the Secretaries and Attorney General to repeat
his visit mex, week, when it is supposed that the
board wiil come TO conclusion as TO the i'm
provement 10 be adopted We are rather inclined
to the opinion that the measure suggested by Mr.
Nj Dnilie will be found he only effective against
the existing Inconvenience namely to throw q
horizontal Glass covering over the Hail. so as to
exclude the dome, in which the sound Of the speak
er is always lost a ceiling Of this description may
be SO constructed, as to combine ornament with
utility and il is probable that the cost would not
exceed $4,000 or $4,000. Should this plan be con
cludtd on, the is too far advanced to allow
hope that it can be carried into execution during the
brief interval between This time and The meeting Of
Congress: but the ensuing summer will afford suf
hcipnt time for its completion National Journal,
