WILLIAM A. BHABLEY, Postmaster. PROSPECTUS OF THE "NATIONAL MON UMENT," ?l weekly journal to be published in Washington, under the sanction of the Washington Rational Monument Society. JAMES 0. PICKETT, Editor and Publisher. The Monument Is intended to be a literary, agricultural, and miscellaneous paper. It will contain selections of the literature of the day?the best that can be found In Ameri can and English publications: interesting scientific articles, embracing mechanics; foreign and dotuestio news; a. sy nopsis of the proceedings of Congress, and every thing that such a journal might, be expected to contain, with the exception of party politics, which will be at all tltnes most rigorously excluded. M'htt Monument will V>e published for tho express axiu the sole purpose of aiding in tho erection of the noble <Mlutnn now rising on the banks of the Potomac, in hon or of the Father of hil Country, end which every one who venerates the name of W\BHIN<1T05 would rejoice to n?,.! completed. After deducting out of the subscription the expenses of the journal proposed to be published. t-lie remaining funds will be faithfully fippliod, and with out reserve, to the purpose indicated. The aid, therefore, of all who are willing to contribute to so patriotic an ob ject, and one so entirely national, is earnestly requested. By subscribing to the Monument, a valuable journal at a low price may be obtained, while it will bo doing some thing, at the same time, towards completing that majestic memorial of the Nation's gratitude. The Board of Managers recommend Mr. 1 ickett, former ly Fourth Auditor ol the Treasury aud Charge ?'Allaire to l'eru, who proposes to edit anil publish the Monument journal, as one well qualified to perform the dutlei ol ,alitor, and to conduct the paper faithfully, and satisfac torily to the subscribers. They assure their feliow-cituere that this enterprise is not a speculation got up for Indi vidual emolument. Mr. Pickett will uiake the experiment with liin own menus und nt bin own ri*k; if auoooflSful, nc will receive uothing more, and he u-^ks nothing more, than a very moderate (fliD^nHHlioli for his services. Not one dollar, therefore, of the direct subscription to the erection of tin- Monument will be. In any event, applied to the support of the paper, nor the Society in any nian u.-r held pecuniarily responsible. To give the public an idea of what may be done with the journal it is proposed to pubji-h, it may be stated that ? 'list of lifty thousuiid paving subscribers, at two dollar' each, will yield au aunual net profit of from fifty to sixty j thousand dollars. ,> The postmasters, and secretaries of all organised bodie tilrou<lioul the Umou, are respectfully n-nuesUsI U. act as agents in obtaining subsci iptions, thus aidiug the great u'uieet of our exertions. As all editors aud publishers, on wcount of the objecl lor which the Monument uewspajs-r will be established, must wisli it to succeed, it is hoped that they will con tribute to its success by publishing this prospectus.

It does not require a tenth part of the labor that the common Freezer does. 4th. It does its work better, producing n better article, in o^ery respect, than by any other mode. 5th. There is a considerable saving in ioe, as the tub needs no replenishing during the operation. The annexed testimonial from tbe Proprietor of the Kutaw Uouse will put to rest all doubt. " Having witnessed the process of freezing Ice Cream in Austin's Magic Freezer, two quarts of Cream having been frozen In the incredible short time of kIx tnluutcs, I cheerfully recommend it to the public."

The Academy, heretofore merged In the College, and of course subjected to all the evils which have been found to attend the amalgamation of the two departments in the same buildirej. and under the same government, now enjoys the privilege of a separate establishment, without losing those which result from its relation to the College proper.

H. PARSONS, Agent FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEY'S. Post Office Department, 1 March 14, 1851. f IT being desirable to substitute locks and keys of wine other kind for those now in use for the mail service if the United States, specimen locks and keys, with pro posals to furnish the same, will be m-cived and considered d the Post Office Department until the first day of .Inly next. The different lock" will be submitted to a commis sion for examination and report. Upon this report, eon rncts will, as soon as practicable, be ent-mUfito for fur ? ishing such locks and keys for four years, with the right III the part of the Postmaster General, for the time being, o extend and continue the contract in force tor an addi ioiial term of four years, by giving to the contractor n written notice to that effect, not more than nine nor less ban six months before the termination oi the fltst term if four years. With a view of procuring the best lock at the lowest ?rice, no kind of lock is prescrl'x-d as a standard, the De ?artnient relying Sir a selection on the mechanical skill ,nd ingenuity which a fair competition, now invited, may icvelop. It is. however, proper U> state that a lock suit ?Ide for the mail service should possess the tuHowInu ijnal tle?, viz; durability, uniformity, lightness, and strength. For the purpose" of displacing simultaneously all the nail locks and keys now in use, aliout thirty thousand iew hick*ami twenty thousand knjrsadaptedthcndo will !'? required to be furni'shwi by the contractor within seven nonths after the contract shall have been untored into; ifb rwards the annual supply will depend on the dura bility of the locks and keys adopted, as well as the In - reuse of the mail service: but it will probably uever ex ?.?ed in amount three thousand of the former and one thousand of the latter. No lock will lie considered if It be like any already in general use; nor will anyone with whom the contract may be made lie allowed to make, (ell, or lurni.-h. any lock or key similar to those contracted for for any other purpose or use than that of the Post Office Department. The kind of lock adopted must be patented, and the pa tentee will be required, on entering into contract, to make an assignment of his jiatent for tlie exclusive use and ben efit of the liepartmcnt, if the Postmaster (irneral shall deem such requirement essential to the Interest* of the service. In clue of the failure of the contractor lit any time to fulfil faithfully the terms and conditions of his contract, the Postmaster General shnll have the ri^'ht. besides a resort to the penal remedy hereinafter men tioned, to annul said contract, and to contract anew w ith any other party or parties as he may see fit, for furnishing similar locks and keys. In deciding upon the proposals and specimens offered, the Postmaster General may deem it exjnslient to select, for the through mails the lock of one bidder, and for the way mails that, of another. He reserves, therefore, the right of contracting with different Individuals for such lifferent kinds of locks as he may select, and also the right to reject all the specimens and proposals, If he shall deem that course for the interest of the Department. The party or parties contracting will be required to give Imnd, with ample security, in the sum of thirty thousand dol lars, for a faithful performance of the contract. The con tract Is to contain provisions for the due and proper in spection of the locks and keys, and al?o for guarding against their passing into improper hands; the terms of thsse provisions to 1* arranged tietwecn the I>epart niont :ind the successful bidder, if a bid should Is- accepted.
