Kemble and Samuel L, Gouverneur.—An applica- tion was made this day, on behalf of Samuel L. Gouverneur, to set aside the judgment and other proceedings in this suit. An affidavit was produced of Lorenzo Hoyt, testifying that he was never spoken to or consulted in relation to the suit by Kemble or Gouverneur. The affidavit of the defendant Gouverneur was produced, setting forth that on the 18th Becember, 1828, the bond of the defeniant Monroe, as assistant commissary of subsistence, in the sum of 95,000, was executed; that on the 13th of January, 1834) a suit was commenced by the United States for the sum of $4,319 91; that no plea waa received until the 15th ber, 1845—eleve! raed sharers mn years ssorsige guoslrsere the then ney accepted » plea of non the plea to be considered as in 1840, "On the {348 January, 1842, it ‘the record of the Clerk of the Circuit Court that a suit was lag on the same bond in that court.

United States District Attorney's Office, CONSULAR PRIVILEGES. Pom, 8.—It ap; ears that M. Figaniere, the Portuguese Consul General, who was subpened before Mr, Commis- sioner Morton, as @ witness in the case of Mr. Blanco, charged with fitting out a slave vessel at this port, hae refused to attend. The Portuguese Consul claims ex- emption under the third article of the treaty with France, which provides that the Consuls of either country shall not be compelled to attend as witnesses, and, as the Por- —— Consul, he claims to enjoy the same privileges and powers as those of the mont favored nations. A care arose between the United States government and the Freneh Consul, at San Francisco, in which the Judge ordered the Freneh Consul to attend as a witness, but afterwards, on the treaty being preduced, he decided that the Consul was not bound to attend. A correspon- dence has taken place between the French government and the State Department in relation to the matter. The French Consul insists that the flag of his nation shall be hoisted in San Francisco and saluted, and the Judge red, Our Secretary of State takes the ground that ciety rae a best $0, and inferior in power to the constitution of the United States, which guarantees Superior Court.Part It.

The Llinots Central loan, recently taken, promises grat advantage to capitalists. The landed pro potty of the company consists of 2,000,000 acres. of Igud in the bands of trustees, to secure $17,000,000 qiginal construction bonds, 250,000 acres te securo foe interest on those bonds, and 345,000 acres that ‘were unencumbered. The latter are situated within six miles of the road, extending from ‘Chicago 130 / miles sonth. These lands have been made the security for s loan of $3,000,000, seven per cent bonds, payable September 1, 1860, issued at 70 per cent. Takera of the loan have awarded to them the option of sub- soribing, within three years, to three shares of capi- tal stock of the company at par, for every $1,000 of bonds, According to sales reported by the United States Land Commissioner, the lands will sell for double the loan. The prozeeds being applied to their redemption, they must bring par in five years. ‘The holder, therefore, gets ten per cent for his mo- ney, thirty per cont advance on cost in five years and the right to snbscribe to the stock at par, which ‘wes at thirty por cent premium twelve months sinz0 It is not to be wondered that this loan was readily taken up. Independent of the road itself, it is choice mortgage investment. The road, however, now connects Galena with Cairo, (438 miles,) and a line of ateamera is being organized to run im con- nection with the company from Cairo to New Or. leans. The developement of resuurces which must take place In Ilinois on the line‘of this road, in coal, produce and all the products of the garden Siate, will probably surpaes the hitherto prodigies of the West. All the means which the road requires for its completion are now understood to be at the com. mand of the company. There are now upon the road thirteen hundred carsof all sorts, and seventy- two locomotives im active operation, ‘The warrants entered at the Treasury Depart- ment, Washington, on the Ist and 6th in For the payment of stock For the payment of Treasury debts. .
