Coutins, * } Committee. Custom Howse, New You, Collector’s Office, October 29, 1644. Gentlemen: Your letter, under date of the 16th instant, enclosing a printed report of the decision recently made by His Honor, Judge Betts, the District Judge of the United States for this District, and requesting to he in: formed as to the future course of this Department in cases that merchandize has received damage, saree the voyage of importation, was received esterday, and i hasten to answer it. The opiniorf referred to, ts the District Ceurt, would have been sufficient to satisfy me, hed | entertained any doubts on the subject ; but I have had none. The 524 Section of the Revenue Act of the 2d March, 1799, contain the foliowing provisions :—“ All goods, ‘wares, and merchandize, of which entry shall have been made incomplete, or without ‘speciticatie of particulars, either from want of the original invoice or invoices, or for any other cause, or which, shall have received da- mage during the voyage, to be ascertained by the proper officers of the Uehty or district in which the said goods, wares or merehandize shall arrive, shall be conveyed to some warehouse or store house, to be designated by the Collector, in the parcels or packages containing the same, thereto remain with due und reasonable care of aome proper officer, until the particulars, cost or value shall have been ascertain her by the exhibition of s thereof, or by appraise- ment at the option of the owner, imperter or consignee, in manner hereefter provided; and until the duties thereon shail have been paid, or secured to be paid, and a permit ranted by the Collector for the delivery thereof. And for the appraisemeut of goods, wares and merchandise not accompanied wit’: the original invoice of their cost, or to ascertain the damage thereon received during the voyage, it shall be lawful for the Collector, and upon re- quest of the party, he is authorized to appoint one mer- chant, and the owner, importer, or consignee to appoint ano’her, who shall appraise or value said goods, wares, or merchandize accordingly; which appraisement shall be subscribed by the parties makin; 6 same, and be verified on oath or affirmation before said Colleotor, which oath or affirmation shall be in the form following, to wit.” Then follow in the same section, the forms of two*oaths to be taken by the appraisers, the one as to the quantity and value of the goods for the estima- tion of the duties upon them, and the other as to the damage sustained during the voyage; and the above provisions so far as they relate to the comers sustained during the voyages remain in full force wit the exception—that such damage is now to be ascertain- edby the regular appraisers connected with the Custom ae instcad of two merchants to be chosen, as ubove stated. It appears to me, that these provisions, within them- selves, are fully adequate to the accomplishment of the object in view; and that their execution is not in any way dependent upon, or eonnected with, the Statelaws or State authorities. terms “Port or District,” used in the first part of the section, are to be understood as having reference exclusively to port or district, deriv- ing its character as such, from the laws of the United States —consequently, the." © officers” to in the same places, by whom the damage on merchandize isto be ascertained, are officers of the Custom Hou To suppose that any other than United States officers * were aad in view, would equally admit the idea that the ‘proper officers” under whose care the merchandize is te remain, ier bea State officer; and yet! think none will contend for that. ‘The law says in the first place, that the damage receiv- ed by merchandize during the voyage, is to be ascertain. ed by the “proper officers of the port or district.” I do not view this as having any preliminary action in order to lay the foundation for an ascertainment or appraise. ment of the damage, but consider it to mean the ascer. tainment or appraisement itself. This belief arises not only from the sense and spirit of the section taken ‘h er, but also from the fact that the word ‘‘asce1 ? which is used in the first part, is also used in the latter part with reference to the proceedings in detail. If, however, I should be mistaken in regard to this point, aud it should be determined that @ preliminary enquiry was necessary by the law, asto the fact of there being some dam*ge to be ascertained or appraised, it would by no means follow that such enquiry could be made by spy other than the Revenue Officers of the United States, or such of them as might be deputed by the Collector for that purpose. Agrin, if a certificate of the Port Wardens be necessary to procure an apprajsement of damage, the question arises whether (as some contend) that ificate is to be con- clusive as tothe fact of the goods having received damage during the veyage If so, then, one of the principal ques- tions in the calle is to be deck |, not only by officers wholly unconnected with the Revenue, but in @ manne- wholly ezparte as regards the United States. This idea is contradicted, too, by the form of the oath prescribed in the law for the appraisers, which includes the fact of the damoge having accrued during the voyage. The alter part of the section under consideration, point. ing out how the Crrn to be ascertained under the superintendance of the Collector, apeuld, tamy jndgment, be viewed aaa compliance with the direction of the pre- vious t, that the domage is to be ascer'ained by the proper officers of the Port or District.” ‘The first part where it may be alleged directs the gas hyp done by the proper officers in nerai terms, the latter part pre doivg it, defining the charecter of such officers. Ai the provision should not be overlooked, which declares that ‘upon request of the pois the Collector is required the appraisement to be made,” )ta eection of the Actin question, in which Port re spoken of,has no rejation whatever to the present question. That section relates exclusively to ves- ela * coin rete NAD sik ree other neces y, to put into any place or port not being destined to ‘amo, in which case, if the Port Wardens certify that the vessel ia in a condition requiring the cargo to re- Jaden, the Collector is directed to attend to the same.— But the Port Wardens, even m those cases, have nothing to do with the condition and fps nem cargo. ‘With these views of the subject, I deem it to be a matter of right in any importer, who shall give notice to this office, that his merchandiza hes received damage during the voyage of importation, without bag Certificate from the Port Warden or Marine Surveyor, to have the same taken to the public stores, and there examined by the ap. praisers of the Custom House, who are to be the judges, het only ax to the amount of the damage, but also to the fact whother it has accrued during the voyage. ¥ ever, the Collector should, in any instance, have reason to believe that there was no ground foran appraisement, wer to satisfy himself on that point, me Officer of the Department—at thi time his refusal tan order on the epplica:ion of any importer, would always beat his own request. But since a diferent practice hav been pursued at this office, end with the sanction, if not by the direction, ot the lete Secretary of the aremeury end since by the re- venne actof 1842, it is made the duty of the collector to follow the inatruotiona of tho Secret in all cases in = exocution of the revenue laws, [ deem it hog hea fore acting om my own opinion, or even upon the deci- sion of the Distelet Court, to submit the Tmaller to the present head, of the Treasury Department, for his di- rection as te my course, en his answer shall have bas neere you og ss be Sadie Som Thave the honor to be, reapect , gentleman, your obedient ooevent ; CP VAN NESS.

Grand Soirée—Judicious Arrangements— Robbery thereat — Property recovered—Other Soirées on the tapis - Cotton Market—Exchange Business, §c. My Dear Heratp:— Having little else to do in “‘ these piping times of peace,” and knowing the interest you at all times feel in the affairs of our community, J thought I might occupy a part of my time advantageously in letting you know of the doings in the ‘Crescent City,” from time to time during the winter cam- paign. The great affair of the season so far, has been a soirée given on the 18th inst., by the agent of one your leading firms. This was a very elegant and select party, the Madam having very carefully ex- cluded all exceptionable names from the list of in- vitations 3 indeed, it is highly gratifying to find at Jast in New Orleans, some one whom birth, edu- cation and wealth, (like that of the host of the en- tertainment just soniet entitles them to take a stand and draw some line of distinction between the many colored hues of society as it has hereto- fore existed with us. You, who have always had a careful eye to the morality of your own city, can- not but be overjoyed to learn that the march of re- form is onward. The ruleslaid down for the above arty were, first, that none of the brandy drinking friends of the host were to be invited; they being expensive, and neither useful nor ornamental; secondly, that all who kept mistresses, “ particu- larly if colored,” were to be excluded, (and here the writer cannot but remark that he hopes the les- son will serve to lead many an erring mortal to the path of virtue 3) and thirdly, duatall valent people should be left out; the only exception made to the latter regulation, was a few business friends, and probably to this exception may be attributed the loss of a splendid relic, **a watch worth one hun- dred dollars,” said to have been in the family for many centuries, and which has been missing since the night of the party ; and a reward isnow offered for it in one of the papers. . lam happy to inform you that the suspicion rest- ing on some of the guests has been removed, it being now generally believed that the watch was stolen by some one of the servants brought by the ladies attending the party. As I stated before, a re- ward has been offered through one print for its re- covery, and I wiil here remark in conclusion, that amongst the better order of folk here, the adver- tisement is thought in bad taste. Some malicious persons say the reason the host offered a reward for the watch was, that he could not well manage to include its value in the night’s entertainments, whieh, it is generally believe here, is charged to his employers, under the head of ‘ Entertaining” man and beast. _ There is another on the tapis, but as it is to be given by a retired Chartres street man, Madam ——~ has intimated that she cannot attend ; so that you see we are being purified, and I have no doubt ere the winter closes, we will know “ who is who.” Our cotton men are once more up and stirring— the market has advanced here in the last week fully 4 to gc. per lb., and should the news from Liverpool! prove favorable, we will have an awful time of it. Straight jackets will be in demand to EASE. the Englishers in check. e exchange businessin our city is not, I think, as profitable as it was a few years back; there is at present a great deal of competition in that line. pA ER A Macon, Ga. {Correspondence of the Heralé.} Macon, Ga., Feb. 4, 1845.

J. G. Bennett, Esq :— You see I hail from the land of cotton and nig- gere—from the interior of Georgia. Macon city stands on a site of ground, which, twenty-five years ago, was covered with a forest. Within shat time it has sprung up, and now numbers a population of eight or ten thousand people. The whole business of the place is either directly or indirectly, a cotten business, and the people, gene- cally, are wholly engrossed with the one idea— zotton. This being the season when the planters oring in their cotton to market, the warehouses are all filled with the staple, and there is enough of it to furnish batteries for an hundred New Or- feans battles. ii Of course, the people here are generally in favor of annexation, it being for their interest to be so ; and, besides, this is the former residence of Gene- ral Lamar, who has recently been lionizing in your city. Many of his relatives live here, and be- ‘ong toa highly respectable family. The city itself is whig, and has recently elected a whig Mayor, James A. Nisbet, a young lawyer, who has taken a prominent position in the politi. eal movements of the State, and whose talents bid fairto raise him to an elevated place among the statesmen of the Southern country. You are already aware that Paul Roux, whom MeCurry murdered, resided recently in this place. He was a locksmith by trade, and was burned out here last summer. A large block of buildinge, and 1 bank were consumed by the fire, and suspicion rested very strongly upon him as having more to do with the origin of the fire than was perfectly right However this may have been, his character here was none of the fairest. While you in New York are kept from the ennui by Onderdonk excitements, the goodly people of this. ey ae on the qui vive about a little amorous affair, the scene of which, of course, was laid in New York. The story runs, that a gentleman—a blood of this place—met at Saratoga, last summer, ayoung lady from New Orleans, who had but just graduated from the Troy Female Seminary, with the highest honors, and that they became very in- timate. After leaving Saratoga, they went to your city, where their intimacy increased very rapidly, judging from present appearances. He left her and returned home; but she followed him, and has been here some time. Her father has re- cently arrived in the place, and serious consequen ces were at first anticipated. But I understand a resort will be hud to legal measures. As the parties are all in high life, the excitement hasbeen very great in the fashionable circles of this place and New Orleans. This sity, being on the great route to New Ur- leans, receives most ot the lions who travel through the country. Phi'lips was here a few nights a sung the first night to a crowded house. re next night he hed an et of tour The Bell Ringers succeeded him, and played for three nights to overflowing houses.

M. C. PATERSON, The charges were read, when Mr. Buapy (for Mr. Haskell) moved to strike out the fifth charge and specification upon general grounds. It was, he contended, a charge in the “ alternative,” and he contended it was contrary to Jaw to allow such a broad charge to be brought forward, and try therefor on im- peachment a party to whom they bed “ ignorance.” The charges for impeachment inveriably went to the ex- tent of imputing “ corruption,” but no man wer ever im- peached for “ ignorance.” Mr. B. further contended that trying the question as to a Mogistrate’s competency to discharge his duties, did not come within the province of thecourt—they could not try on technical grounds. The court could not try a man for “ ignorance and.violence of passion” at the same time. Mr. Horrsay replied, the charges ogainst Mr. Haskell Went to the extent to show generally the ‘“ incompeten- cy” of the accused (Mr. Haskell) Mr. Hoffman contended that the Justice was not tried upon the section relating to impeachment, for in that case a | epg wes fixed, and it could be plead in bar for any office hereafter, but upon an entirely different question—it was clothed in no tech- nicalities, but was a simple question whether ignorance and incompetency, and infirmity of temper did not dia quality him from holding the office given him by the honorable court, and whether they had not the right to deprive him of it. It would not dlsquality or render him ineligible from holding any ottice hereafter, ifhe was re- moved from incompetency, or would it take from his cha- racter as a mun, however his infirmities might cause pity. He however thought that ignorance and infirmity of tem- per were as ttroug causes for removal from office as im- peachment, although they did not carry the same conse quences with them. Mr. H. was, as usual, eloquent and torcible. M. C, Patgnson, Esq., the District Attorney, rose and said that he did not expect tobe able to say any thing that had not been said by his learned and eloquent asso ciste, He however adduced several arguments to show that the charges made were sufficient to warrant removal. He contended that the section which covered the specifi cation of the charge madeagainst Justice Haskell, was the 7th section of the Constitution, Article 4th, which provides for the sppointment of Justices forthe term of four years, without cause is shown to the County Court sutticient to cause his removal. Mr Woop rose in reply. He contended that in the course of /:is professional experience, he never yet heard of any public officer being tried on a charge of impeach- ment for “ignorance aud violence of temper,” at the sametime ‘There wasan alternative left open for the prosecutors which was ead in itself, namely, removal from office; but they could not try him ona charge of “ignorance,” and no member of the Court, he contended, was tried under a charge that ever reached to this extent before, particularly when the Court had Airtel remove the party trom effice, without the formality of a triul.— There was no such thing to be found in the Constitation as atrial for im pesehaneat the constitution gave the power of removal from office; but there was nothing to be found in relation to impeachment. The law of “im- peachment” was imported to this country from their an- cestora, but he repeated, it was not to be found in this constitution. Judge Inoranam asked if the counselghad sny cbjec- tion to postpone the consideration of the question ? Mr. Brapy repiied he intended to demur. Atter afew deaultory remarks from the Chairman and membera, the question on striking out the 5th charge waa. teken and negatived. % Josxru Horrry was then called and sworn.—Ezamined by the District Atronngy.—I was served witha subpena vu 4th January last in the City Hall ils pedal Se as noticed in the charges was here put in and admitt i I was served by Mr. Haskell with the subpena,of which the above is acopy. He was sitting at the side table at thetime. Haskellasked him to take an oath. and give testimony about some private matters, which he did. I signed this paper, (put in) which is a deposition of my testimony taken at the time. The depositions went to show that Huffiy went to collect money at the police office for the “ native” party, where he had a conversation with Haskell in rotation to the same. I was examined Mr, Heskell, and signed the paper efter 1 had co: Haskell asked me about Captain Hopper’s watch. I re tused to answer; he then threatened to commit me. The subpena was served on me by Haskell, in five minutes atter [ arrived at the office. Nors.—It will be recollected that Mr. Heskell, who had been appointed by the native party, was expelled by the executive committee of that party; the at wit ness being a member of that committee, and ll, as it is alleged, feeling anxious to escertain the movements of that body in relation thereto, served the subpoena in aoe tion, and compelled Huffty to testify as here charge: Cross examined by Mr. Brapy.—I was a candidate amongst the “ native” party for the office of Polic gistrate; but Idid not receive the office.

A good deal of confusion here prevailed, when the “ dis urber,” who turned out to be a brother of Aldermen Cozzens, came forward, and with the most cool assurance, told the Court ‘that he did not wish to see any person allowed to criminate himself” This only made confusion more confused; when, amid cries of “Commit him”— “ Turn him out,” the Court directed the officers of the Conrt of Common Pleas to attend in future and keep order, giving tue offender an admonitory reprimand, to avoid in tuture such specimens of *' native assurance.” Witness, in his eontinued cross examination stated, that he was a candidate for the situation of police officer, a member of the ‘' Native American Committee,” and ap- plied to Job Haskell on their part for money for the com- mittee ; ‘hat he refused to answer certain queries, in rel4- tion to the party, to sign the paper, when Justice Haskell taveatened to Commit him; witness hereupon said, he (the justice) could not do so.

The Historical Society held its stated meeting, (which had been adjourned from last week on ac- count of the severity of the weather,) at their rooms in the University, last evening. Amore than usual number of members attended, and gratifying evidence was presented of an increased interest in the growth and prosperity of the association. The chair was occupied by the venerable President, Mr Gautatin. Messrs. W B. Lawrence, F. Depeyster, and —— Broad- head, were elected to fill vacancies in the executive com mittee. Mr, Scnoorcaarr presented a resolution relative to the propriety of adopting measures for obtaining an accurate census of the Indians in this State, and other statisti if the present condition o! that interesting and fast deca} ing race. ‘his resolution was adopted, and measures taken for be preparation of a petition on the subject to the Legis- jature. A letter from the Hon. Luther Bradish, signifying bis pars sponta of the office of first vice-president, was then read. Mr. Gauiatrn then read a paper which forms pert of w chapter in a forthcoming work, entitled “Conjectures on the Origin of Semi-Civilization in Central America.”— ‘This paper was somewhat discursive, and did not present any particularly novel details. It referred to the disco- veries that have been made relative to the agriculture, astronomical know edge, and architectural antiquities of the extinct races of Mexico and Central America. Mr. Gautarin expressed his opinion that thet portion of the continent was originally peopled from Asia. The Paper was, however, evidently merely an isolated portion of more extended and minute details on the subject. General Wermone arose to announce that the paper written by Col. Stone, and intended by him at the time of his decease to be read to the Society, wat their posses- sion. It was the general desire that it should be read a relative of th tor; but, inthe absence of Mr. Bid- well who had, perceived, left the room, it would be read by Profe i Professor Mason accerdingly commenced the of the document, but had not more than half finished, when the late hour—half past uine o’clock—admonished the Society that its entire perusal would demand more time than wai cir disposal; it was, therefore, ed until the next meeting. From the variety of topics it comprised, the desultory style of the paper, and its being only half read, it is ditticult to define the exact purport of the author; but as faras could be ascertained in these circumstances, it may be regarded as a biographical ketch of those ees jes who, in the early imes of this State, distinguished themselves ss public eharacters, particularly in reference tothe Incian tribes. That portion of it, which was resd,began with an al- ‘usion to an Indian massacre at Wyoming; contained a testimonial of the ability ofa Mr. Renwick, es displayed in the abridgement of some historical work for the use of the public schools ; a eulogy upon Mr. Schoelcraft's writicgs, and knowledge of the Aboriginal race ; and slso, sketches ot the life of Governor Morris, Mr. Living- ston and others. When the further reading of this treatise wes dispensed with, General Wetmore introduced to the Society one of its honorary members, the Rev. Dr. Bethune, of phia, who was received with marked deferunce.
