IMPORTANT LETTER FROM SECRETARY CHASE—THE DUTIES ON TEA, COFFEE AND SUGAR. ‘The following letter has been addressed to Hon. W. P. Fessenden, Chairman of the Committee on Commerce of the Senate, and Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Mcans of the House:— Treascry Deranruest, Jan. 3, 1862, Sm—The act of Congress passed on the 26th of Decem- ber, 1861, dirocting that from and after tho dato of its Passage certain duties, in lieu of duties before im- posed, should be levied, collected and paid on tea, coffee and sugar, imported from foreign countries, did not oxempt from its operation tea, coffee and sugar {imported and warehoused, and was therefore regarded by me as a direction to collect tho duties prescribed on all such importations, without exception, and instructions ‘were issued to the collector , accordingly. I beg leave to direct your attention to the fact that ‘where goods imported have been placed in warehousest ‘under the law nnd departmental regulations the amount of dutics has in each caso been estimated, though not levied, by the naval officer, and a bond has been taken by tho ccliector, in doubt of the amount of the utygthus estimated, for their payment, and there is a goneral opinion among merchants that tho faith of the government is engaged for the delivery of such goods to the merchants on payment of the duties imposed by law at the time of the warehousing. Whether this opinion be absolutely well founded or not, there is cortainly something in the nature of the transaction which sup- Ports it. Itis my duty, doubtiess, to execute the law as it is written out. Tbeg leave, in view of this opinion of the importing ‘merchants, respectfully to suggest the propriety of the adoption of a joint resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to permit warehoused goods to be with. drawn on payment of the duties imposed by the act of August 2, 1861, and to refund any excess of duties above those thus imposed which may have been collected on goods already withdrawn. With groat respect, 8. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury. BEPORTED TREASON IN THE HOUSEHOLDS OF OFFI- CIALS. Facts are fast developing themsclyes which show that, while we have been employing the money and energy of tho loyal people of the United Stazes to repulse the arro- gant horde of rebels who have arrayed themselves in ‘battle against the government within sight of the Capi- tol, treason was being hatched in tho very households of officinis. Our streets are filed with the most painful rumors of the discovery of traitors ina place where tho breath of suspicion should not rest. ‘This discovery also Calls up afresh facts that were some time since discovered. ‘The present case isa serious one, too serious to bo al- Jowed to pass without a public exposure and a public execution. In both of these instances alluded to woman figures as the chief offender. GENERAL BURNSIDE’S EXPEDITION. ‘Tho vessels of General Burnside’s fleet were inspected to-day by General Porter and Colonel Sackett, by order of General McClellan. They report the accommodations ample, and arrangements excclient for the transportation of our troops in the fleet. General Burnside’s mon wore paid off yesterday and to-day. Seven hundrod thousand dollars was disbursed, three-fourths of which was sent home to the soldiers’ families, ‘THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF NEW ENGLAND. ‘The creation of @ military department, some time since, to c’nsist of the New Eugland States, and the ap" Pointment of General Butler to command it, made quite a Sensation in some of those es, and especially in Mas- sachusetis, and more espocially in Boston— the hub of the universe.” When this new department was created: was dono fora patriotic purpose, the details of which y2™ nol at liberty tomention, They are not even known g0Governcr Andrew yct, who would do very well as the war Governor of Massachusetts, if it was not for bis pri- wate secretary, the imitative Browne, who rejoices in tho <@ognomen of Lieutenant Colonel, but who, unfortunate'y for the country, never yet handled any other weapon than. @brick, during the so-callod “ Burns Riot.” General Dutier took charge of the department, and had @een too much real service in the enemy's country, and ‘was too much of a gentieman, to allow himself to ba Ampolitely interfered with by a subordinate officer of tho army even, much less by Governor Andrew's messenger. ‘The result was that General Butler was resisted in bis ‘attempt to raise the mon for his expedition. Messenger Browne, representing Governor Andrew, refused to com- mission the officers elected by General Butier’s new regi- ments. Governor Andrew sustained his messcnger and fofused also, Butler appeaicd to tho President, and the iatter assured Genera! Butler that ho should ‘be sustained, rogretting at the same time that there should be any conflict betwoen the federal government and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Genoral Butler, having bis orders from tho Presidont of the United Btates, did net hesitate to proceed with the organization of his expedition, leaving Governor Andrew to fight out the matter with the fedora! government. Today an order has beon issued for ail ihe regiments now in Now Fogland, and that have not yet reported for duty, to do so toGenerai Butler, at Boston, who is requiredto order their {inspection forthwith. This will produce a new compli- cation between Governor Andrew and the federal go- ‘vorpment. Alrea:ly the Coyernor has forwarded several @laborate c mmunications to the Senators and some of the repreee: ives from Massachusetts, protesting against Gea. Butler's mode of doing business and appealing to the federal government to tnteriere. ‘The quarrel, in which Gen. Butler takes no part, is stil! pending. While on the subject of Gov. Androw,{ am reminded that his Excolloncy, who sevorely reprimanded Gen. Stone not ong since for compelling Massachusetts troops (as Gov. Andrew allesed) to return fug tive slaves, has received a scorching reply frem Gen. Stone, which semo of the friends of the latter have asked the Governor to publish: ‘Dut thus far Gov. Andrew bas declined. The whole affair is very rich, and will soon be made pablic, alihough an effort is now making to hush the matter up.

Dr. Shippen, of Philadelphia, who has charge of tho hospital in General McCall's division, where the wounded at the Dranesville battle are being taken care of, has been obliged, on account of his excessive labors, to re- linqnish his post for a few days to obtain the respite he requires.

There are now only eight of the Dranesville wounded in the hos- pital, and only one of these is expected to die of his wounds.

The victim was James McKee, private in Company I, First Pennsylvania cavalry. A private, having on a false faco, protruded his head into a tent where several soldiers were sitting, when one of tho latter, affecting to be frightened, took out his revolver and pointed it in tho direction of the masked head. By ono of those fatuities that often fullow upon the heels of reckless carelessness, a barrel of the revolver exploded, the bullet just grazing the head of tho masked soldier and hitting McKee, who happened to bo passing, in the left temple, and killing him instantly.

THE LANE AND JENKINS LAND CLAIM. ‘The report that tho Secretary of the Interior has settled in favor of General Lanethe land claim decided by the Court in Kansas in favor of Gaius Jenkins, who was shot dead by Lano—sinco Senator, now a general in tho army— has created a feeling of astonishment on the part of legal genticmon here who know all tho facts. The case will probably not be allowed to rest whore it is. COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE PRINTING BURKAU. Great complaint is made in tho military department of the government against the printing establishment, on account of the dilatory manner in which business is done there, The orders in cases of court martials, and the general and special orders of the army, are unnecessarily delayed, to the great detriment of tho service and the public intorest.

A Taxarise ON Oxpwance anp Naval GUNNERY, and arranged as a Text Book for the United States Military Academy by Lieutenant aoaeee Simpson, United States Nevy. Van The necessity of this volume was demonstrated to its author by his experience as instructor in gunnery at the Naval Academy, When he entered upon his duties there he could find no singlo work that covered the ground necessary for an elementary course in this branch. Although the text books in existence were good in their way, they all bore upon some speciality, and noone volume was sufficiently comprehensive to supply the de- siderata suggested by Lieutenant Simpson’s notions of what was required by the vast improvements that have been introduced in ordnance within the last few years. He accordingly compiled from each what was valuable, and added to the matter thus collected the results of his | own observations and experience. It is scarcely neces- sary for us to say that a work thus prepared by @ writer 60 practically conversant with al} the subjects of which he treats, and who has such a roputation for scientific ability, cannot fail to take at once a high place amongst tho text books of our naval service. It has ‘been approved by the Secretary of the Navy, and wili henceforth bo one of the standard authorities on all matters connected with naval gunnery. The volume is profusely illustrated, and is in all other respects well got out. Tue Arwies or Evrorg. By Geo. B. McClellan, Major General United States Army. J. B. Lip- pincott, ‘This is a roprint in a handsomely illustrated volume of the record of tho obsorvations of Gencral McClellan as military commissioner from the United States govern- ment to Europe in 1855-56. The report appeared original- ly ag a government document in a quarto form, and com- manded a large price. The Messrs. Lippincott have therefore wisely decided to give it to the public in a more convenient and accessible shape, which they have done ina volume that, in typographical excellence and ampli- tude of illustration, leaves nothing to bo rogrotted in the seareity of the original report.

Tux NationaL Quartrerty Review for December. New York. Vol. 1V., No. 7. ‘The current number of this able review fully sustains the reputation it has won during the last two years. I, is highly creditable to New York, aud would not suffer ta comparison with any of the English reviews for learning and intellectual sbility, while in its manzer it is more sprightly and contains greater variety than the ponder ovs pericdica’s at the other side of the Atiautic. ‘The opening paper is an article on tho Grecian poot Homer, so familiar to the schoolboy days of classical scholars. ‘The greatost mind,’ says the reviewer, “that ever mortal had was, beyond ail dispute, that of Homer. For at least twenty-cight hundred years—most probably three thousand—his works have continued to astonish and delight tbe human race. No great poet has appeared in any part of the world, whether in the East or in the Wost, in Italy or Porsia, in France or India, in England or China, who has not, directly or indirectly, drawn in- spiration from tho inexhaustible Homeric fountain.” ‘This is immense praise; but itis for the most part jast. We think, however, that it is too much to say that “The greatest mind that ever mortal had was, beyond all dis” puto, that of Homer.” ‘Tho great Greck was only a poet’ and we do not hold excellence in podtry to be evidence of tho vory highost class of mind. Probably Bacon and Napoleon had greater intellects than Homer. Even as a poct it may be doubted whether Homer is the greatest of those we know, to say nothing of those poetic minds whose creations have never reached us. Homer is not necessarily the greatest be- cause he is first, and because other poeis have insvasibly (or by design) itmitated some of his finest passages. Take away from some of tho best pocts of ancient or modern times all that they have borrowed from the “ Homeric Sountain,” and their greatness would not be diminished, Some have merely taken his historical facts for the foun. dation of their poems ; and, in that respect, they are no more indebted to him than thoy would be to any othor historian. The meterials of the most effective verses in Ryron’s works are taken, with on'y slight aileration,from prose compositions. Of the ancients whose poetry has come down to us, we think Homer does stand at the heady tako him ail in all, though in some points, perhaps, ho has beon excelled by A’schylus, ophoctes, Euripides, Pin, dar and the author of the neil,’ who bears about the same geveral relation to Homer tn poetry as docs Ci- cero to Demosthenes in oratory, Over the moderns, with ove or two exceptions, Homer stands 2 head and shoul ders, like King Saul among his brethren. Dante ant Mit” ton might perhaps dispute the palm with him. Indeed, two competent critics, one of thom among the best transla- tors of the “Iliad,” and both no meen poets, have placed in a higher rank than Vomer‘or apy other pooi. fer to Dryden and Cowper, who have both embodied their opinions in “immortal verse.’ In our judgment, however, Shakspere is at the head of them He had the most universa! mind and the mort profound. It is a curious coincidence about these two great poets, that some of the ablest modern critics hold that the writing respectively ascribed to them are not theirs, bu collections from many poets, and that Homer Isa mere myth, and the “bard of Avon” a compiler, We do not endorse these opinions. The articlo in the National Quar- terly is extremely interesting, and will be read with plea. sure and profit by ail genvine lovers of poetry, ‘The fallacies of “Bucklo’s History of Civilization”? are ably exposed in am article of deep research ond keen analysis.

The Death of Prince Albert—Condolence Meeting of British Residents of New York—Adoption of Resolutions and an Address to Queen Victoria, dice A large and highly respectable meeting of British resi- dents was held at the office of the British Consulate, at two o’clock yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of ex- pressing sentiments of sympathy in rolation to therecent death of Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria, ‘The meeting was called by an advortisement published in the daily papers by Mr. Archibald, the British Consul, and was entirely composed of merchants aud men of wealth in our metropolis hailing from British soil. Mr. Russell, correspondent of the London Times, was present upon the oecasion, but did not take part in the proceedings. After some preliminary preparations, on motion of Mr. Hewry Eves, E. M. Archibald, Esq., the British Consul, was called to the chair, which position he at once ac- cepted. Mr. ARcmpaxp, on taking the chair, thanked the meet> ing for the honor which they had conferred upon him, and continued as follows:—Gentlemen, the event which has caused our assembling here to-day is truly a lament- able one, The Prince Consort of her most gracious Majesty the Queen has been removed from among us, and this meeting is called for the purpose of expreas- ing condolence with the irretrievable loss which she has sustained. In the home of the poor tho name of Prince Albert will be long treasured. He morited your respect and sympathy, for he was truly a good prince. It is sufll- cient, however, for us to know that he was the husband of our present Queen. In his death we are called upon to mourn tho death of an excellent prince and husband. I would have called attention to the death of the Prince sooner than the present day, but that it was yesterday ! received the official announcement of his demise, The Consul then read tho official document from the Britisn government announcing the Prince’sdeath, At this stago of tho procecedings Mr. Robert Gordon was appointed Secretary of the meeting. Mr. Henry Eyre, President of the St. George's Society of this city, stated that in consequence of what had beou said already it would be unnecessary for him to offer any further remarks in reference to the matter. He would therefore offer the following resolution: — Resolved, That we have heard with profound sorrow the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of his Royal Highuess the Prince Consort, and desire respectfully to express our sincere’sympathy and condo- lence with her Majesty under this most aflecting bereave- ment as woll as national calamity. The resolution was immediately adopted. Mr. Riewarp Invix next addressed the meeting He daid:—It will not be becoming to indulge in any extended remarks in the matter which we are callod upon to dis- cuss. Anything which touches the Queen of England touches us. Mr. Irvin then, with afew appropriate re. marks, presented the folfowing addreas to be presented to Queen Victoria: — To Her Most cous MAJESTY THE QUEE: pleaze your Mejesty, we, the undersigned, E dents in the city of New York, moved by profou spect for your Majesty's person, and sympathy in your great and sudden afiiiction, beg leave to approach your Majesty with the expression of our sincere condolence.

It is enovgh for some eatimato Of your Majesty’s irreparabio lors that he was the loving and beloved husband of your Majesty, and the object of unbounded respect, confidence and attachment to the whole British people.

After reading the above address a good dealof argu- mont occurred on tho proper method of its adoption. Une gontioman asked whother the address was signed, when it was stated that it would bo necessary to have somo future action before signatures were attached! to tho sane. In the meantime Mr. Tuomas Ports offered the following regolution:— Fee!ing azsured thoro aro numbers of British subjects in this city not ropresented here who would gladly ‘embrace an opportunity for recording those deep feelings of regrot which rest on every British heart at tho recent bereavement of her moet gracious Majesty Queen Vic- toria, thorefore, that the expression may be as gonoral as peasible, be it Resolved, That this meeting do adjourn to a place and time to be appointed; that a genoral meeting be calléd of all resident and transient British subjects who foel desirous cf thus recording their fo agen thata committee of three be appointed from this meeting to mako tho necessary arrangements and cali tho meeting 4s soon es possible, The arrangements tu be under the direction of her Britannic Majesty's Consul of this city. ‘The resolution was lost.
