BO ny LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. MeTsoroLitan Mecuavics’ Ixstitcte.—A meeting of the Board of Managers of the Metro- politan Mechanics’ Institute was held last night atthe Aldermen's Room, City Hall, President T_U Walter, in the Chair. The report of the Superintendent, (Mr. Stans- baryi) of the late exhibition was read by Mr. Walter. After which Mr. J. T. Mitchel made some complimentary remarks on the unexceptionable manner in which Mr. Stansbury had rformed his arduous duties, and offered ‘a resolution ten- dering the thanks of the Association to that gen- tleman i which resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Stansbury, from the building committee, made the following report, accompanied by a memorial proj to be presented to the City Councils: To the Board of Management of the Metropol- tram Institute: The committee on the buil ing beg leave to report that immediately after their appointment they proceeded to perform the dut assigned to them by the resolution of the Board, to take into consideration the best mode of pro- viding the Institute with a suitable building. They have held a meeting of the members, at which the whole subject has been freely dis- cussed , and by the kind permission of the Mayor they have been allowed to inspect the plans fora market-house, submitted to the Corporation, which plans embrace a provision for the wants of the Institute. Without discussing the relative merits of these plans, the committee would observe that the one Presented by Wm. H. Ranlett, Esq., and sn proved by the Councils, seems, with such slight modifications as they could suggest as would only enhance its architectural effect, to all the Tequisites necessary for the purposes of the Insti- tute. The committee, however, do not propose now to report or endorse any particular plan, but rec- ommend to the Board to mgd test the sense of the incoming City Councils, resenting for their consideration the memorial which the com- mittee is. cmp acid mat of the report. Should the connection prayed for be granted, the commit- tee have little doubt, as they state in the memo- rial, that it would be easy to devise a plan which would be satisfactory to both parties. By order of the Committee. Tros. U. Warrer, Chairman. Cuas. F. Stansscrr, Sec’y. MEMORIAL. To the honorabie the Board of Aldermen and Common Council of the city of Washington: The memorial of the undersigned, officers and directocs of the Metropolitan Mechanics’ Insti- tute, respectfully represents that, about five years age, a large number of the citizens of Washing- ton organized themselves into an association for the promotion of the mechanic and usefal arts, under the title of the ‘ Metropolitan Mechanics? Institute ;"’ that they adopted a constitution and by-laws, and selected a board of officers and di- Tectors, who, with their suecessors, have conduct- ed the affairs of the association from that time to the present. That. shortly after the organization, they an- nou i their intention to hold an exhi works of American industry, in this city. urpose they carried into successful execution in se enn and Mareh, 1553, by holding an exhibi- tion in the great hall of the east wing of the Pat- ent Ottice. That said exhibition was not only well attended by exhibitors but was so liberal patronized by the public that a profit of several thousand dollars was realized by the Institute. That this money was principally devoted, on- der the direction of the predecessors of your me- morialists, to the establishment of a School of Design. which was attended by a large number of pupils, whose rapid progress was a subject of great congratulation, and proved that such a school was a public want, which was urgently felt by the community ‘That it was and is a part of the plan of this in- stitution to establish not anly a school of design in the elementary principles of those sciences which lay at the foundation of the practical pur- suits of Ife, and an acquaintance with which is so essential to the intelligent mechanic; but that owing to the want of means this part of the origin- al plan has never been attempted. Neither was the Institute able to succeed in the establishment of a library and reading room, as the expense was greater than thcy felt justified in incurring. That the Institute held a second exhibition in 1955 at the Smithsonian Institution, but that notwith- standing the large attendance and liberal receipts the expenses were not met by about $1,000. That the third exhibition was held in March of the present year, and aithough the number of con- tributors was greater than at any former period, and the receipts larger, no balance has been left available for the operations of the Institute The undersigned state these facts to show that they have been unable to carry out the great lead- iig aims of the institution successfully, because they have been obliged, at all their exhibitions thus far. to expend large sums for temporary ac- commodations which had to be renewed at an = expense at every succeeding exhibition. hey have sunk. in this way, since the organi- zation of the Institute, a sum of about $10,000, which, as has been already correctly observed the last report of the Superintendent—‘would have been sufficient to build a library and reading- room, a leeture hall and ample accommodations for the various classes contemplated by the Con- stitution.** The undersigned are convinced from the expe- tience of other cities, and from their own obser- vation of facts in the history of this Institute, that there is in this District population of the pro character, to support liberally an institution like the one they are now endeavoring to establish on @ permanent bas. Citizens of Washington and the District are with them in this endeavor; and deeming the institution one of public importance and value, closely bearing upon the prosperity of the city they feel justified in approaching your honora body for the ——— of asking your assistance d co-operation in carrying out the plans which y have formed for giving it permanence They feel satisfied that all that is required to pve permanency to the agency which has already been set in operation with such beneficial effect is @sultabie building for the accommodation of its schools lecture room, library, reading room, and exhibitions. Such a building they believe might be erected by the subscription of their fellow citizens, provided the plans could be brought out under suitable auspices and with a sufficient guar- antee of its being promptly and properly executed. Your memorialists, after careful consideration and ¢ ultation, have concluded that the most lan is to unite their interests with those rporation and the public by building the hall of the Institute in connection with the new market house so long and so generally de- sired by the inhabitants of this city In what way this might be done, your memo- nalists do not now propose to suggest, convinced that should your honorable body deem the enter- prise worthy of your patronage it would be satis- factory to both parties The object of the present memorial is simply to ask that your honorable body will take the mat- ter into consideration, and should the general pian meet your approbation, authorize a con- sultation on your part with a committee on the t of the Institute for the purpose of ascertain- ing the best mode in which the proposed object may be accomplished And your memorialists, as in duty bound, will even pray T. U. Watrenr. President. Cu. F. Woop, Vice President. Mr. Walters here entered into a short explana- tion of the proposed plan for anew market-house by Mr. Ranlett. It was, said Mr. W., the idea of the Board to let the Corporation build the first story of the market-honse, which consists of five Principal divisions. and then for the Institute to come in and build the second story for their own sa sgn The plan had been decided to be too rge by the committee, and it was suggested to get the Corporation to take off the two outside divisions of the upper story which would reatly teduce the cost of building, and bea ae more beautiful architectural composition. The group would be more pyramidal, and suit the purposes of the Corporation to the letter; or let the Cor ration go on and build the first story of the whole plan, and the Institute could then build on the three principal fonts, and then would have a Toom the most beautiful and grand in the world for the exhibitions of the Institute. The room would be 320 feet long and 75 wide, and would have on its front division ten additional rooms The large hall would be surrounded with gal- leries, and would make the grandest hall for the exhibitions of the Institute, and for public concerts, ever seen in the world Mr. J. L. Chubb observed that the musical peo- ple of Washington were about forming an associ- ation of the professional and amateur musicians, for the purpose of building a hall for the use of the severz] musical associations of the city, and they would no doubt cheerfully and cordially cv- operate with the Board in the | ax pac plan, should the ball be adapted to musical pur Some remarks were made by Mr. Mitchell, in relation tothe manner in which the proposition of a combination should be laid before the Cir Councils; and then the memorial was refer ‘kK to the building committee, with instrue- tions te do with it as they might deem Bees in Telation to its presentation to the two Boards of the City Councils Mr. Mitchell presented the bill of Geo. & Thos. Parker, which had been referred to the commit- tee on finance; which wax ed, —as was also the bill of Jacob Kielber, of , for lighting the Aldermens’ room : Mr. Mitchell moved that when the Board ad- journ they adjourn to meet on the first Thursday night in Sune ; carried And thea the Board adjourned. e Concert oF Tue Focata Distaict ScHooL.

It will be seen by the following letter from C. Derwin, E: -, U.S. Con- Peal bg Mayor Magruder. that the money is in good ands : MontRreat, May 9, 1857. Sir: On the 18th instant a pocket book contain- ing several thousand dollars in American bills, | was found in this city, sapposed to have been lost by some American traveler on his way tothe cars. As the finder is desirous that the money should be returned to its lawful owner, 1 to request that you will give this information publicity in your city, for the purpose of finding the owner if ible. I have the honor to be sir, your most obedient servant, Dorwin, United States Consul. To his Honor, the Mayor of Washington, D. C. Patext Orvice IMprovEMENts.—The north front extension of the Patent Office is beginning to give evidence of rapid progress towards com- letion. The foundation works are being put lown with due regard to the immense weight of stone which will be placed upon them in the erec- tion of the walls. he western portico is being kept somewhat back on account of the scarcity of the supply of stone work. The granite stairway | in the rear is in course of construction, and will be a master piece of stone masonry when completed. The new exhibition hall is some three hundred feet inextent by fifty broad, and entirely clear from any obstruction. No columns or other mechanical ap- pliances are apparent; the ceilin; being support- ed by the fron roof.

Tue Pustic Grounps.—Lately, various per- sons have been committing dep-edations upon the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution which have required the interference of the Captain of the auxiliary — asacheck. Mr. J.B. Frere, a guard detailed for duty at that post, saw a num- ber of persons harvesting grass there yesterday without authority, and arrested one of them who proved to be least at fault, and was dismissed on his giving information which may lead to the arrest of the more guilty parties. Some years aKo a high official functionary was seen on a gunning expedition for blue birds and robins in the oy ee grounds, and more recently a lad pr red himself with hook and line to catch gold fish in the basins at the Capitol, both under the impression that being public property any one had a right to enjoy it. But both were taught differently by the police, and lessons will soon be given to others. Tue Bony of an infant, supposed to have been murdered by its mother, was disinterred this morning by officer Keese, and the mother taken before Justice Goddard. The case was dismissed, however, as there wax no evidence of the chiid having come to its end by any foul means. Its mother, a poor Irish wo- man, not having the means to provide a coffin, had buried it in the fragment of a cradle which, with other circumstances had occasioned some surmises. An inquest will be held on the body. An Excurston.—We learn that George Mat- tingly, Esq.,in behalf of the Southern Steamboat Company, has invited the Mayor, Councils, and other officers of the Corporation of Washington to an excursion down the river, to start from the new wharf, foot of O street south, on Tuesday next, at 63g o’clock a. m., provided with an ex- cellent band of music and refreshments for the ample entertainment of the excursionis' Erection or Orricers.—At a regular meet- ing of the Washington Atheneum, last night, the following gentlemen were chosen officers of the Association for the ensuing term: President, Jno.
