New Nesociations wim Exaianp.—We believe that we may announce as certain, that most impor- tant negociations have been projected by our gov- ernment in relation to the commercial intercourse of the United States with England, and also with France. These negociations have reference to a Commercial Treaty, embracing an international tariff of duties, on the produce and manufactures ot both countries— comprehending also the colonies, shipping, and perheps a mutual arrangement of the copy-right. The returement of Mr. Webster from the cabinet, is not his retirement altogether from the services ot the government. It is now understood that the Bri- tish gevernment is ready and willing to open a ne- goci:tion for the mutual settlement of a compre- hensive commercial treaty, as well as the Oregon boundary—and it is generally believed, that Mr. Webster will hold himseif in readiness to give his aid in conducting such a measure, as soon as the Court of St. James shall be ready to act. Informal communications‘haye already passed be. tween the two governments—and it is believed that Mr. Webster only: retires to Marshfield to prepare himself for entering upon the new scene of negocia- tions with freshness and vigor, as a special minister or commissioner. ‘We also understand from good authority that the French government have been sounded on the same question, and that a strong disposition exists in the Guizot ministry to negociate a similar treaty be- tween France and the United States. The recent modification and changes in the cabi- net at Washington, are only so many preparations to enter upon the new scene of negociation—and if these projects should succeed, we may see impor- tant results for the peace of the world settled ona firmer basis than in any former age. Frvancrers Gorno To Evrors.—Mr. Morrison, Jr., of the House ef Morrison & Sons, goes in the pack- etof Monday. Also David Leavitt, Esq., of the Ame- riean Exchange Bank, in the course of next week. Gen Duff Green is on his return to Europe in rela- tion to a commercial treaty. The Illinois fund commissioners Messrs. Ryan and Oakley will go out shortly on business connected with the late canal law of that State. {ft Bishop Hughes fdedicates a new Catholic Church to-day at Jersey City.

He is one of the few who es- caped, with his little boy six years old, from the greatearthquake. He relates one of the most utterly astonishing escapes that was ever put upon record. He has literally dodged an earthquake, and come a good deal nearer seeing the end of the world than even Father Miller is likely todo. We shall en- deavor to give his account of his miraculous escape, and some curious particulars of the earthquake in to-morrow’s paper Inpian Dirricuttiss —Rumors are rife about dif- ficulties among the Cherokees. An effort is mak- ing to embody the Seminoles with them.

New Brunswicx.—Nothing has transpired in this province of much consequence in a political point of view. The legislature closed its labors on the 11th inst. John Montgomery and R. L. Hagen, Eequires, had been called to the Executive Council of the pro- vince. One of the papers, the Times, speaks despondingly of the spring prospects. But the following, from the St. John’s Observer of the 25th, looks very fa- vorable, to say the least of it :— Since our last publication upwards of | thirty square rigged vessels, of large size, have arrived in our harbor, chiefly from ports in the United King- dom, for cargoes of timber, deal, &c. About as many others are now on their passage for this port. There are at present nearly 50 square rigged vessels in the harbor, being a greater oumber, we think, thao ever before were seen in it atone time in the month of April. Our port, therefore, has assumed a respectable, businese-like, and cheering appear- ance, reminding us of former years, which we trust may continue. A number of the vessels have brought cargoes of merchandize. Arraizs In Mexico.—-Our latest advices from Vera Cruz are to the 28th of March. Frem files of papers we gather the following items, showing the internal condition of Mexico. ‘The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has issued, by order of the President, an orderto ulithe public departments, tri- bunals, Sc. to use forthe future paper of home manutac. tureonly. This is to protect the national industry. Th Minster of he Home Department publishes, on the 10vu, adecree of the acting President, granting to the city ot Moreles, in the department of Mexico, for the term of six years, an angual fai: of eight days. “During its con- tinuance #ll merchandise sold there will pay only three- fourths of theordinary dues exacted oy the Government upon such. A second decree of the same date grants a like privilege to the town of Atlixco, in Puebla : fi There is a project in agitation for jruining the domestic industry of the country, by repealing a considerable part of the duties on cotton good: their place a loan of three millions of de! already re marked less distinct references to such a scheme hi pre- vious intelligence. The terms proposed appear to be that the present duties on cotton shall be reduced to a half real (6 c.) the square yard, on ali descriptions,"he government Yanding itself not to raise the duties before the lapse of ten or twelve years. This isa bit of English policy. Jt is not known whether the formal proposal will be made at once to the acting President, or witbhel! until Santa ‘Anne sseumes the chief magisterial duties. It is confident ‘that the plan must be rejected, for it is sure that neither of thesechiefs will sell the domestic industry of the country and sacrifice it to foreigners, let the Treasury be reduced to no matter what straits. ‘The proposed reduction of duties would totally destro all the manutacturing establishments of Mexico, and wit! hem thecultivation of cotton, which is entirely depend- ent for a market on the home manufactures, Authorities refer with no little dismay, to the growth of highway robbery, of which instances are every day be- coming more trequent and flagrant throughout Mexico.— The evilis attributed to the Government in failing to ew tablish an etticient police, and to the growing dissolu'e- nese! public morals, «specially emong the class of thone Who are at ras, wad who, wasting their youth, their leis. ure, aod their fortanes in liceations ileness, take at last to the most desperate resorts tor supply ing the with the means of further debaucheries On the 25th of February, an order wes published revok- ing 80 much of that of last September, as directed the re- moval of aii cotton manuiactories to tan e of at least twenty-five leagues from the coast. It has been tound thet establishments so situated will fraudulently intro- duce cetton yarns from abroad, and weave end sell them to the injary of the revenue. For this reason, the former ordinance directed their gradual removal to the interior, end forbade the erection of any new ones near the coast.— Now, however, the former requisition is annulled, and the revenue service is only directed to exert « mere active watchfulness for preventing the contraband use of foreign yarn, No other news. ves It seems that the whole energies of Santa Anna are bent on recapturing Yuoatan. Avormer Srrampoat Exriosion.—Harry of the West burst her boiler near Memphis, on the 19th inst. Four or five persons are reported killed, and others dangerously wounded Since the above, we have seen the following ex+ ract from a letter :— Three passengers are missing broken—one passenger with de of his face mashed another with his arm broken—two firemen scalded, but not badly.

So far his conduct has been very conciliatory and very cautious, and no act of his has given either party any cause to rejoice. Here isa specimen of his replies to the congratulato- ry addresses made to him :— ‘To the Inhabitants ofthe town of Brockvil! 1 you, gentlemen, to accept m: ur obliging congratulations on my arrival at the government, and for the favorable opimon which you have formed, in anticipation, of the course of my ad- ministration. You may be assured that my best exertions shall be constantly devoted to the welfare of Canada, and to the preservation and attainment of all those blessings, which, as Joyal subj iched to Her Majesty’s Person and Government, you justly di and expect. ‘The Champlain and Saint Lawrence Railroad is open. The ice yet holds on the Lake and shows little inclination to move offat present. The Mon- treal Herald of Thursday last expresses the belief that navigation will not be opened before the close of the month. We have « report of a formidable break in the ‘Welland Canal, but to what extent is unknown. The riverat Montreal on the 22d instant, had been rising very rapidly, and on Thursday night it shoved a little; since then a channel opened on the opposite side and the water has tallen. Some parts of Griffintown have been inundated, and the cellars in the vicinity of the river have received a copious acquisition to their contents. The judgment in the case of the Crown against the Quebec Board of Trade, is that the return of the board was legal and sufficient. Pustic Improvements.—Operations have been commenced on the Hamilton and Port Dover road. ltis expected that about the Ist of September next the road will be completed trom Grand River to Hamilton. The bridge over the river at Caledonia is nearly finished, and promises to be a durable and handsome piece of workmanship. The workmen are busily employed on the train road, to supply the necessary stone for the Burlington Bay Canal. The light house at Long Peint is nearly half way up, and will shortly be completed. The works at Port Dover are alse going ahead.—Hamilion (C. W.) Journal, April 21. Tuas Ick —The harbor is not open, neither has the ice given way, but there is every prospect both events will occur within afew days. The ice is extremely rotten, and the first gale of wind will do the business. The Bay of Quinte will probably re- main shut a week longer than the harbor, for the ice there remains ee compact. Business is very dull all over Canada West, aud steamboat owners have been very fortunate in a late season.—Kings- ton IWhig, April 21 Governors or Canapa.— From the accession to the government of Canada of Col. Simcoe, in 1792, to the appointment of Sir Charles Metcaife in 1843, there have been no less than twenty-two Governors and Presidents, averaging two years, three months, and eight days for each government.

Tue Lats Comer —According to all observations, this was a most remarkable, and, for a long time, a somewhat suspicious comet, although it has at last given a very good account of itself. Ina published communication from Mr. Benjamin Pierce, of Harvard University, he says:— All attempts to recognise a comet by its physical ap- pearance, in case of its return, have beem abandoned by a \d they have unanimously arrived at the conclusion, that the identity of their paths is the only sure criterion of the identity of two comets. This test is thought to have been satisfied in only a few instances, i none of which have I know2 of any rival pretension the recent comet, singular in so many respects, in its bility at noon-day, its near approach to the sun, in bring- ing, with a p ity as eccentric as its orbit, and unwor thy of any celestial body but beat to Europe, severe cold to America, earthquakes and irftuen- he West Indies, fires and neurology everywhere, le it is the prophet of theend of all things to all of ind, the generous spirits of Boston consenting, of a telessope te Massachusetts, is remarkable for the number of previous comets which claim the honer of its personal identity. No less than five different comets have been aaa as bearing a strong resemblance to this one of 1 City Intelligence. Firg.—The alarm yesterday afternoon about six o’clock, proceeded from the burning of the roofs and attic stories of houses Nos. 2 and 4 Mangin street,near Grand. The fire was discovered inthe attic of No. 2, occupied by W. H. Harrison and Capt. W. Smith, and thea extended to No. 4, oc- cupied by John Lowes, measurer of lumber, and Langshore & Riblet. The former house is owned by the heirs of the Gardner estate and the latter-by Obadiah Newcombe, who resides at No.8 in same street. The building marked No. 5, adjoining No. 4 was slightly injurned on the roof. It was occu- pied by Captain Mardieu, who is absent. Drowvep.—-An unknown person, apparently about forty years of age, was drowned yesterday evening, while going on board the steamboat Sara- toga, at the foot of Chambersstreet. He had on a short jacket, with coarse sleeves, cloth vest with metal buttons, mixt satinet pants, muslin shirt, and white flannel under shirt. The body remains at the dead house for recognition. An inquest will be held at 100’clock this day. Casx or Howarv.—Edward F. Howard, of No. 1 New street, who was arrested for obtaining a con- tract between the Lehigh Coal Mowig er and the Northampton Bank for the delivery ot 30,000 tons of coal from Slamm, Rogers & Co. of No. 12 Wall street under false pretences, was take1 betore the Recorder on Friday afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus, and after an examination of the circum- stances attending the case,was discharged from cus- tody.

Mate or Ggorge Haw iey Stappep.—Yesterday morning a fellow dres-ed in sailor’s clothes entered the hold of the brig George Hawley, foot ot Oliver street, and began to fill his pockets with a quantity of cope coin that had been stowed therein. He was First, there is Newton’s great comet of 1680, which is the only one that is known to have approached nearer the sun than the late one. Both these comets had a great southern inclination, but the difference of inclination is very great, as well as that of thegeneral direction of the two orbits, so as decidedly to preclude the possibility of their being the same. Next, Messrs. Walker and Kendall contended thatit was the comet of 1689, and perhape that of 1301. But the comet of 1301 was seen in the constellation of the Great Bear, and these gentlemen are too good astrono. mers notto knew that the recemt comet could never have been seen, at nigh, in any constellation north of the ecliptic. Mr. Pierce here goes on at length to examine the elements of the comet of 1689, as compared with the late comet, and remarks thus :— The more accurate elements of Walker and Kendall do not, however, satisfy them within five degrees, which is conclusive proof of the difference of the orbits, so that whoever contends that the com re the same, is bound to give a definite cause for this decided change in the or- bit, and until this is done, the comet of 1639 should not be allowed to interfere with rival claims which seem to be substantiated by a more complete resemblance. Mr. Pierce concludes with the following identifi- ‘cation of the late comet with the comet of 1668, and the suggestion that its period may be 35 years. A correspondent of the London Morning Chroniclehas referred to the comet of 1663, which was observed by Cassini, at Bologua, as being certainly identified wit the recent comet. T theone referred to in my lec turees having the same apparent motions with this work, not merely from the obi but the far more valuable ones ef Est dor, Its path, for the short distence during which it was traced, was precisely the same with that of the comet of 1343,1's rate of motien was the same,snd the whole descrip- tion ofthe one would apply with accuracy to the other. But the observations were insufficient for the calculation Imoovered by the mate, Thomas Paterson, wile pein Praia b sel beh: og iC semesatde Cobuuaees | ie endeavored to secure him, when he jumped ashore, and in the scuffle Peterson wes stabbed with a knife in the wrist. The fellow refused to give his name, and was locked up for tnal. precisely the same apparent motions, ist the very same tea- son ot the year, could only arise from the same actual me. tion in precisely the same orbit. Finally, singular and unexpected doubt, which may prove to be a confirmation, has been thrown over the at tempt to identily these comets, other comet, hav. which was observe 22d of February to the lst ef March, andthe resemblance was such as to lead Cassini to conclude that it was the same comet which he hed previously observed in 1668. In this ease, the average period muet be 36 years, in order to bring it back at the present time. The loss of one year, trom 1668 to 1702, remains, then, to be aceounted for, as well as the fact that it has not been seen at its other returns. The latter circumstance might, justly, he attributed to its great southern inclination, which would render it invisible in northern latitudes, if its return occurred at apy other sea- son than near the beginning of March. The elements of the comet of 1843, as calculated by Mr. W. H. C. Bartlett, of West Point, from ob- servations made there on the 25th and 29h of March, and the 2d of April, are as follows :— mi 8 Cuatuam TuaTRE.—A variety of entertainments is offered at this house for Monday night.

They might be proper in other places, but I must saytheyare not proper here. We are here onlyto try this case according to law snd te evidence. It has been said here that Mr. Hoyt has been ill used, and that he is a reat sufferer ; but in what manner he has been ill used, or how he has been » sufferer, has not been accounted for. It is contended that he ought to be acquitted, but this ar. Cs pedena cannot be entertained by the Court nor by you. ‘» have no evidence that he has suffered, nor can you assume it without evidence to support that allegation. Those circumstances have been pressed upon you with Great force, that he has acco inted faithfully and honestly. Gentlemen, you are to try this case according to law and to evidence, and not be biased by the arguments of coun sel on either side. fe fault on his part, there is a him redress, Congres hi eounts, and they wall im relief, but we have no right to extend this equitable jurisdiction to his case. Congress has this power, and they will, if applied to, ex- tend this relief it the case warrants it ; and we are only to look at the law and It is my duty to ex. plein the law to y applicable to this case, and it is Your duty to find according to the law and the evidence. A very sireng argument has been put to yeu against the system of keeping those accounts, it has been imp! on you that the duties imposed on Mr. Hort by this sye- tem was of the most onerous character ; that it was im: ible for any man to carry it out with safety to himeelf. ‘here is nothing in the system to warrant that netion. I state to you that the system and mode of keeping the accounts, and the administration of the revenues of the country, are eccording to the laws of the country; under that system the collector of New York, and the collectors of other places, are to dispose of the revenue according to the mode and regulations prescribed by the treasury. The an officer appointed tozdo this; he has a right ordinates, and to do every thing he sees fit for his own safety and security. We has the appointment of all his officers and clerk; over those appointments the Secretary ofthe Treasury has no control, except that he has a right to limit their compen- sation and number ; but they do not originate with the Secretary of the Treasury, they are not appointed by thet officer with this limitation. Mr. Hoyt, as the collector of New York, had the Fight fo appeint, and did appoint, his subordinates. It has been arguai that because the Secre- tary hasthe right to limit the number end compensation of those officers, that they are necessarily the servants of the government. But this is not the fact, they are not the officers of the government; the very circumstance of his giving security in so large an amount, shows that he is alone accountable for the revenue. Ifthey were to be con- sidered as officers of ithe goverament, the government would require some kind of security from them if they are officers of the government they are not looked upon in that light. The Comptroller, the Auditor and Cashier, are his officers, and he has aright to demand security from them, if, in his judgment, he find it neces ry to do se ; this the government cannot do, and this circumstance shows con- clusively that Mr. Hoyt alone h over those officers. Gentlemen, this being the case, let us now see under{what principles of law he is to Teceive the revenue and transmit it to thetreasury. Great complaints have been made here of those accounts, and of the mode and system of keeping them. But, gentlemen, they are made up from his own vouchers, from his own statements, by his own officers and subordinates. They are his own, and admitted on all hands to be and he is bound by them, unless he can show fraud if he did this, then he could impeach them. When those accounts are made ont and sent to the Treasurer, they are examined by that officer, not from any new elements, but from the Collector’s own vouchers and abstracts; they are then sent to the Comptroller and examived by him; he then nds them to the Register’s office, where they are filed d recorded, and the account produced here is a trans: script of that account from the treasury department, and it is nothing more than ment of the account made out from his own abstracts and returns. It is, therefore, hisown account made up from his own vouchers Is ny thing to show any fraud or even a presumption of fraud upon him? Ifthere be any, itishis duty to show it; government are not called upon to establish every item against the Collector in the accounts furnished by himself. Gentlemen, it has been said here that those accounts are but prima facia evidence against Mr. Hoyt, and that no weight should be attached to them ; but that is not law; every thing that is prima facia evidenco is plenary evidence in all cases where no evidence is offered to prove the con- trary, and the law declares it shall be received as evi- dence. It has been argued here that they should be re- ceived only as prima facia evidence; but the law says no such thing, it says they shall be received hereas final and conclusive, because itis made up from his own accounts. All those charges are made up by him, and must be received as evidence against him, but he should be permitted to explain, ifthere are any errors in those accounts, and to state what those explanations are. If you can see that there hasfbeen any mistakes, you should be permitted to show what they are, and you should give credit forthem. So far you are authorized te make de- ductions from that account. You must now look at the kind of evidence that has been presented to you, to show those mistakes. I have looked at those accounts, and I do not find, according tomy own judgment, that re has been errors to show any thing like the amount that he claims. pie eee said that errors to the amount of $32,000 existed. Of this $23,000, they claim as an error a chai of $26,000, which relates to duties on merchandize, w! the government have disallowed upon other grounds ; if be deduct it, and one or two others, the balance or 8000 dollers, andot no great importance; y decide whether there have been errors or defalcations by fraud. So far as respects fraud in the accounts of Phillips and McDaniel, there was something that fell from those yee that looked like fraud on the part of Phillips. alters said he pursued the same course after he came into office, and had paid the government, and so might Phillips. McDaniel has returned the money. You have heard tl dence of McDaniel, and the explanation he has given. «in my opinion there is nothing to warrant you in coming to the conclusion that they are more than mere errors of calculation ; however, you are authorized to make those deductions. There are some other deduc- tions which have been relied on, not for parts of errors, but for parts of Theat these must have been some loss without the fault of Mr. Hoyt, and in conse- quenee of the difficulty, and, perhaps, negligence in mak- ing up of those accounts, there is no reason to doubt ; but it never eught to be calleda difficulty, nor can it be set upasadefence. It hasbeen urged upon you that you havea right to infer that there are other errors and diffi- cultiés which do not appear, and that, therefore, you are to place no reliance on that account; and if it be received at all as evidence, you must receive it with great caution; but that is not the doctrine of the law. Congress has declared that those accounts must be re- ceived, and you are bound to receive them accordingly. There is another error that has not been accounted for— the Collector says he paid out $48,000, for which he has not received credit, and he protuces his cash book to sus. tain that item; this book he says contuins @ true account the moneys received by him and disbursed by him; this is the only evidence offered by him to sustain this item. You will bear in mind that this book is kept bi himself, and not by order of the Treasury, it is the boo! from which he makes up§his quarterly accounts, and the government are not accountable for the errors or mistakes that may be in that book; Mr. ot has aright, as I told you before, to inti any checks he pleases, to keep any books he pleases, or to adopt any system for his own malay. There is a circumstances regards this cath book which 1 wish to call a, attention to; it is this— there is a most unaccountable discrepancy in it, under date of March 224, 1841; Jook at the cash book and there you find that he hat on hand at that time, $137,000; how does it appear that he has paid this out ef his hands before that time ? ;How then can you place agy reliance on this cash book, or how does it appear that he discharged him- self from this large balance? Walters states that he thinks all comes into the hands of the cashier; that is not so in point of fact; they go through the hands of the Cotlector and through tho Collector's office. There is another ques tion of considerable importance; it is an item of $109,000, for the deposit moneys w! js contended by Mr Hoyt’s counsel to be charged to him twice. Now let this s—he returns to the Treasury Department an ac f all duties, including refunded duties; when the sent back Mr. Hoyt gets his warrants for the de. to be refunded; I don’t see that he is charged be moe heis not charged with anythi: more than tho amount of duties actualiy receive was he would be charged twice, but he is not. Gentle. men, with respect to the items that have been abstracted from the Cotlector by fraud, you must deduct them; the Court feels disposed to allow him everything thet is fair and rearonatle; with respect to this other item of $109,000 the objections raised by the Collector to that item have no weight atjall in my judgment; therefore those are circum- inces under which you are to be ‘guided in your cal- culations; your jndgment isto be governed by the law; there is not enough to warrant you in saying that Mr. Hoyt is notto be held accountabl for this item. There item is for $6,749, for fines, kc.; these itemahe claims under the head of tees; the amount of thejseizure was $111,000. Mr. Hoyt gave credit for one half, and he retained the ba- lance, which be claims 9s his own. The next claim is $14,035. The question to be decided is, whether the Col- lector and the Naval Officer are entitled to those duties ; if they are, Mr. Hoyt is entitled to credit for these sums; if theyare not,he is not entitled. As tothe abstract question whether the Collector and the Naval Otficer are entitled, there is rome little difference between the members of the Court ; but we have agreed, that if the value of the goods seized and forfeited were to be deter mined by the value of the duties, Innd assented to by the Government, theColleetor and Naval Officer cannot be entitled ; but ifthe government fixed the value of the » andcaleu- lated the duties, and included the duties in the valuatien, then it goes into the aggregate amount of the value of the goods ; but thet fect must be shown, to entitle the officers to their claim. In my judgment, they hnve, no Tight whatever to any part of the duties; the Govern ment has the exclusive right to those forfeitures and th two sums of $5,749 and $14,035. The $140,35 are to stricken out ef Mr. Hoyt’s claims. The next is a claim for $1560, paid to an ageut or witness for expenses in at- tending at Philadelphia, &c. The question is, whether he jis to be allowed for the amount of those expen- ses; that he has advanced them thereis no doubt, and that they were paid under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, although in my judgment thore items should be paid out of the forfeiture. But ae they have been paid under a Treasury order, they ought to be allowed. ‘The next item of $251 comes under the same rule. There is an item of $9,543 for the erences of weighers and gua. gers. Ido not think myself that, according to law, those persons ore entitled to it ; asin my judgment, according to the strict construction of the law, they they have been paid by order of the reasury, I think they ought to be allo: the account of Mr. Butler, for servic: by him under the order of the Collector, ‘This sum amounts to between $6,000 and $7000, The question is whether this ought to be allowed, It has by aid by Mr. Hoyt. A very considerable portion of this grew out of this stete of things, whion | have been commenting A considerable number of bonds were given to Butler, upon which to commence suits. He made in. a Custom House for the necessary information to enable him to bring suits on those bonds. He received information from one of the officers there, which he thought at the time was correct, and some forty or fifty suits were commenced , but he found afterwerds that his intormation was incorrect, and he had to discontinue those but as no doubt Mr. Hoyt and Mr, Butler aeied in good faith, I donot think they, should be accountable, fl and this claim ought to be allowed. vercharge of $1203 upon some bonds and nt items; then comes $1163, a charge for commissions atew months after Mr. Hoyt came into office; tis claim I find is given up. ‘The other claims which re quire some consideration are for fees, amounting to $36,- 212. The question is, is he entitled ‘to those fees, or are they cutoff by the acts of 1802 and 18227 By the act of 1789, he was to be paid by fees alone, but by the act ef 1799 @ further provision has been made for the manner in which the Collector isto be compensated. By this act he isto be allowed tees and one-fourth per cent on money received. In 1 jary ot $5000 a year, with a portion of the , forfeitures and penalties in addition. It is contended those provisions do not deprive him of those fees; that remain the same; I cannot agree that this is law. It th strikes me that this sct provides that the $4000 18 to be the full amount of his compensation, together with the fines, yenalties, and forfeitures. In 1922 auother act was possed reducing the salary to $4000, excepting fines, &c. This, in my mind, is conclusive, and [ think this then must be disallowed.’ With respect tothe claim for $201,000, is there any thing that can satisfy you that this allowance should be made? It does not strike me that thereis any co- lour for ullowing this claim; he cannot claim any thing for extraordinary duties Let us now see what waa the duty of Mr. Hoytas Collector. He was beund to receive the duties here, and he was bound to be subject to the or ders ot the Treasury Department, and whatever duties he may have performed in his official capacity, does not en: title him to extra compensation; the rule law is, tht he og cannot claim any th: for what he does in his official Capacity, and this question is to be decided according to those principles of law, it is therefore clear that this item must bestricken out. Hecann 1s Collector, be entitled to compensation for those servi There were some st small items, which his honor left te the discretion of e jury. ‘The jury jretired, and a‘ter an absence of about two hours, returned with a verdict of $220,887 86 for the Go- vernment. * U, S. Circuit Court, Before Judge Thompson. Arnit 29.—Ethan Allen vs. Blunt $ ‘Sy This was a case ening sat of a bill filed by the plaintiff on the Equi- ty side of this court. for an injunction to restrain the de- fendants from violating his patent right. The judge be- fore whom the case was heard, being of opinion that he had not authority to adjudicate upon it, directed an it aue, that the question might be settled by the verdict of a Jury. The facts are shortly these. In 1837, the plaintiff in- vented a pistol lock by which it was cocked and the pis tol Leen bal by one continued an! backward pressure upon the trigger. For this invention the plaintiff obtain- patent, in which his invention was described Ie rT Patent Pistol.” Plaintift’s complaint was, that defen- dants manufactured pistols on ft jame principle, and sold them, The defendants set up as a defence, that the plaintiffs invention was not new—an ‘ond, that there was ne in- fringement of the plaintiff's patent, inasmuch as the ma- chinery of the plaintitt’s and defendants’ pistols were dif- ferent both in substance and form. The evidence, howe- ver, was conflicting, the plaintid's witnesses testify ing that the principles upon which both instruments are con: structed are precisely the same, and produce the same re- sult. The defendants’ witness testified to the eontrary, except that they admitted both instruments produced the same result but by different means. His Honor told the jury that at this late hour hisre- marks to them would be very limited. This is an impor- tant case to the plaintiff and te the public. Two questions enquiry present themselves ; tho first is, whether it is a new and useful invention ; and the next is, whether it has been violated. A bill was filed on the equity side of this court for an injunction, the Judge betore whom it wastried did notfeel himself authorised to instruct the jury, therefore an issue was made up and the case was directed to go before a Jury and have their opinion, but it was some time before any action was had. The plaintiff now complaius that he has been taken bv surprise; that the defendant set up adefence, and produced evidence of which he had no notice, but the plaintiff has to blame himself; he has not seen fit to do that, which, in my eae ment, would entitle him toa disclosure of the defendant’ defence. He had a right to apply to the Court to compel the defendant to disclose his defence, and I have no doubt but terms would be imposed upon him. The parties can produce evidence of an invention being used in some fo- reign place. If a party sets up such defence as this, he should ‘disc! when and where, and by whom it was used. That does net apply here, because the party did not avail himself of his right by applying tothe Court. If an application of that sort was made to me, I have no doubt but I would impose upon the defendant those terms. I nention this, because the parties sem to think there is some hardship in the case; but the answer toit is, you have not availed yourself of the aid of the Court. There are two questions involved in this case; the first is whether the invention is new, and the next is, has the defendant violated it by the pistol that he has made. With respect tothe patent presented here. it is not very technically drawn, itwas not perhaps drawn by a professional gen- tleman. The law has settled itas a rule, that you are not to take up any insulated part of an invention. Gentlemen, in the specification of his inventi he has included three articular things; the cock, the trigger, and tumbler. ‘he question is—is he entitled te the combination of all those three things? His Honor then reviewed the evi- dence, and stated to thejury, that they had but two ques. tions to decide; first—was the plaintif’s invention new? and secondly —was it violated? To those two questions they had on y te say yes or no, as this was not a case for damages. The jury brought in a verdict for detendants. Counsel for plaintiff, M Davis, Sherman, and Van Antwerp. For defendants, . Belden, Edgerton, and Kiseam. This case eccupied the Court for the iter of two days. It was a ee of considerable Hiportaes, the aintift i cular, and to the public in general. The Governor, &c., came all the way from conduct the plaintiff't case, and the only distinction we could perceive between the two pisto! was that Mr. Allen’s pistol discharged six balls at on and them round a corner, 4 Messrs. Brunt and Symes’ B ar only discharged one ball at a time, and sent itround a hay stack. & The United States Circuit Court has adjourned to Tues- day, the 9th inst. The May term of the Supreme Court commences at the City Hall to-morrow. Court of Common Pleas, Before Judge Ingraham. Arnit %8.—Arthur Leet v8. Ebenezer Brown and Wil- tiem I. Tenney.—This was ‘en action of assumsit brought Upon @ promissory not: for $1000 made by Brown and endorse by Tendey in favor ofthe plaintiff ft appeared from the evidence that plaintiff and defendant, Brown, were Methodist Clergymem; that sometimein the spring of 1837 Brown borrowed of Leet the sum of $1600, which received in cash; that afterwards, in the fall of the e year, Brown being hard pressed Leet for the payment of the loan, gave to the plainti note in suit, endorsed by his friend Tenney, a respeetable jeweller in Broadw: When the note became not it id, and notice of protest was served upon the detendunt, Te - ney, asthe endorser. Actienisnow brought ‘ogainst the endorser for the amount ef the note andinterest. The de‘ence set up was usury—and the defendant, Brown, was called as a witness, who testified that at thetime he bor- ed the money of the plaintiff he was insolvent; that to give and the plaintiff to receive the sum of r per day for every day he had the use of the 3 but ‘non mi recordo,”he could recolleet nothing else. Mr. Gronae Woon, of Counsel for defence, summed up in an able and clear manner, alleging that the facts pre- sented were too barefaced to admit of any doubt in the minds of the Jury as te their duty, The argument was closed by Mr. Berns, of Counsel for plaintsff, who contended that the jury ought to be well Satisfied with the evidence belore they pronounced the Contract nsurious. The character of the witness, Brown, his voluntary sppearance upon the stand, his convenient memory, and above all, his profession as a minister of the gospel, were severely commented upon by the Counsel in an eloquent and forcible manner, His Honor charged the Jury that the only question for them to determine was whether there was an agreement tetake more than legal interest If they believed the testimony of Brown, who was the only witness to prove the usury, then they were bound to find a verdict for the detendant Verdict for defendants.

Three back mails from the South arrived to-day, brin ing a supply of bills much less than was expected. Tb] result wasa further advance in rates—sterling bills ro: to7} per cent, and francs to 5 32 a 5 32}. The stock market was heavy and prices generally ge way ; Ohie 6's in particular fell 2} per cent. There doubt but that the July interest will be paid. The fa that the Commissioners have uncontrolled command $20,000,000 of stock, and that the banks loan upon it at per cent, renders the payment certain. Last year stoc! were sold as low as 55fur the same purpose. The reput! tion of a new tax is as good as the actual levy when mons isso abundant. Kentucky fell 1 per cent; Indiana rot to 30; Delaware and Hudson rose 2 per cent from 1 sales ; Stonington 2 per cent ; Harlem fell }. At the new board, the same features were presented. The Harlem stock bought last summer by James Wat! Erq., and which has been 11mg under injunction near| year, has all been taken up and paid for by that gentl man. A great struggle will ensue before the election the 16th proximo. The books close todsy. Each oft great contending parties are taking up all the stock th can get. The position of the general business of the count both financial and commercial, presents as the great ai leading feature, a transition from high and Auctuati prices to low and steady rates. This isthe natural resi of diminishing that portion of our mixed currency, tl quantity of which depends on the temporary interests will of associations, on whom the several State gover} ments conferred the powers of “coining money,” in tl shape of paper, for circulation, and increasing that tion, the quantity of which is regulated by nature, and amount in circulation by the industry of the people. When the currency is full and fluctuating, all busin isin the highest degree speculative, and although no: nal profits to-day may be large, a fluctuation to-morro: beyond the foresight of the most skilful, will absorb t whole. The exchanges of the country are the buro1 ter which show the minutest variation in the state of currency. It*has been the experience of the largest change operators in Wall street, that the lower and st dier the exchanges are, the more profit the busin yields in the end, although the amount of capital requii initaconduct is larger. The business between Bost ‘and New York under the United States Bank varied fr }to 4a 4 per cent, according to the movements of t bank. For the last three years, the rates have vari prem. to } discount in the hands of private dealers,and been areguler and safe business ; it yields a small sure profit. On Philadelphia, for the most of that tim ranged 5 to 6 per cent ; that is 3 premium to 3 dicount, the issues of the bauks fluctuated. The result was alt nate large gains and severe losses to the dealers. rates have now fallen lew and regular, like those of ton,and the business is getting sound. This proc: extending itself over the Union; and if the pow were taken from the banks to “coin money at pl sure, the rates in. the hands of private deal would never vary. The business would be steady and safe us in Europe, where the large hi ses turn perhaps $500,000 for a profit of 1,000, but the is little orno risk. ‘These remarks on exchange appl, a greater or leas degree to the whole business of the c try, the permanent prosperity of which will be ensul only by a steady and dear currency Ia such @ state of the currency public stooks always range very high, because the risk is small and profit much larger thanjin other modes of investm
