Wasuinaton, Dec. 10, 1870, Ko. 11, John Kimball, Admintstrator, vs, John B, Goodrich—Error to the Curcutt Court for the District af Massachusetis,—This is an action against the «former Collector of Boston to recover back the sum ‘of $16,051, alleged to have been illegally exacted as @otics on certain bales of wool imported from Capo Town in June, 1861, The wool was bought by the ‘mporvets of that place for little more than twenty ents per pound, and was invoiced and entered at the purchase price. The act in force at the time the importation excepted from duty unmann- cured sheeps’ wool of the value of twenty cents or less at the port of exporta- tion. The woel was bought some months beiore shipment, an: the date of exportation had declined tn value at ene ‘Town to less than twenty cents, but the ap! 8 declined to make any appra.se- ‘Ment at less than the invoiced price, claiming that ‘they had no authority to do so. At the collector's Feq however, they made an unofficial state- ment to him that the wool, at ary then current at the place o! exportation, would be free of duty, In the court below the decision was that, so far as ‘the collection of duties on the wool was concerned, its value couid not be considered less 1t3 in- price, and the judgment was for the defend- ant. ‘14e plaintif in error insists that it was clearly the intention of C that, in determining ‘whether the wool was free or dutiable, the actual value of the artiele at the port and period of ex- portation should govern, without reference to the Voice |p grrenae, +, JF ce; and it is cl at Was the ume the practice of the department at of this importation, according to a Gecision of the Secretary. The government insists ‘that the proviso of the act of 1557 contrels, It was “Provided, nevertheless, that under no circum- stances shall the duty be assessed upon an anfount Jess than We ipvoice or entered value, any law of Congress to the contrary notwithstanding.” By the Tevenue laws, therefore, the invoice 1s regarded net ‘a8 4 mere bill of parcels, but as a solemn statement of the arse supported by oath, indicating the value of the imporis; and it is conclusive upon the importer, except wuere provision is made to the contrary, and no such provision is made for a case where the actual value 1s less than the invoice yalue. To the objection that this construction duces great hardship it is answered that the values im reserence to which duties are assessed are arbl- ‘trary, 4 that any seeming hardship cannot be remed!' by this court, ©.

WESRERN CATHOLIC. A Outholie Layman to the Archbishop of the Diocese of New York. To THE Most REVEREND ARCHBISHOP MCCLOSKBY:~— I beg leave to address a few words to you on the Bubject of the Pope. If you please, we will put the cage that your Most Reverence was deprived of the Rev. G. D. Boardman and wife, Rev. A. W. Wint, Professor G. H. Cook and wife arrived in this city from Liverpool iast week. The Northwestern Christian Advocate has been studying the charter of the Methodist Book Concern, and tinds that it absolutely prescribes that Thomas Cariton and John Lanatan snail be boek agents till the meeting of the General Conference In 1872, and that, therefore, the action of the Book Committee suspending Dr. Lanahan would not be supported by the courts. Dr. Tholuck has completed nearly fifty years of academic labor, and his friends propose to raise in dis honor aiund in aid ot needy students who are preparing for the ministry. ‘Those in this country Who have studied with alm are invited to con- tribute.

The wheat market was quiet, and holders were less frm in their prices. Cotton was dull and weak, but with- out tmportant-change in quotations, THE COTTON MOVEMENT. The receipts of cottou at ali the ports for the week ‘were 152,321 bales, against 140,674 bales last week. The total receipts since September 1, 1870, are 1,212,546 bales, against 1,001,666 for the correspond. ing period of 1869. The total exports for the week ‘were 103,554 baies, against 68,380 bales for the cor- responding week of last year. The exports from all the ports for the expired portion of the cotton year ‘were 629,371 bales, against 403,918 bales last year. GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND ACTIVE. ‘The government list exhibited continuéd specula- tive activity under a continuance of the influences which have been already adverted to in this column. A strong clique have taken hoid of the issues which receive interest on the lst of January, with the ex- pectation of advancing prices in the meantime to such a point that they will realize a clear profit equal to the accumulated coin interest, Moreover, ‘the virtual confession of the Secretary of the Treas. ury that he cannot fund the debt in accordance with the provisions of the act passed last summer leaves 1 certain that Congress will do nothing with the funding question during the present session beyond possibly authorizing an increase of the proposed five per cents, as asked for by him in his annual report, ‘The highest of the day were made at the noon board, after which there was some realiza- tion and prices closed a shade lower, as fol.

THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks is very unfavorable, showing, as it does, an impair- ment of the surplus reserve to the extent of about_ $3,000,000, The actual loss in reserve is over $8,300,000, comprising a decrease of over a million in specte and over two millions in legal tenders; but, ‘as the decrease in Habilities is $860,000, the loss in net reserve is as first stated. As the indications favor the theory that the locking up of greenbacks, by which the above results were produced, has been abandoned during the week, a very favorable ex- hibit 1s looked for next week. The statement con- trasts with its predecessor as follows:— PINANGIAL Dec. 3. Dec, 10.

The money market was easier, a3 usual on Satur- day afternoons, when lenders are generally desirous of securing the employment of their balances over the two days to Monday. All new business in stocks ‘was at alx per cent, but exceptions occurred at both seven and five percent. On governments the lowest rate was five per cent, the demand on these collate- rals being more active, owing to the current wide speculative movement in them, as noted above, Prime paper passes freely at 7.a 74, but quotations range rrom 634 a8 per cent for the several grades included in the designation of first ciass paper. Forelgn exchange was dull after the steamers, but Tates were steady at the quotations last given. GOLD STRONG—11034 A 111. The advance in government bonds naturally wrought more firmness in gold, for the reason that the higher quotations induced sales on the part of the foreign bankers, who bought bonds simulta- neously m London (or at least put their orders on the cable) and bought gold here. The recent stronger tone of the exchange market and the check to ex- porting movements through the derangement of the ocean telegraphs led to an enlarged gold shipment, the City of Washington taking out $425,000 in specie. This combination af infuences advanced gold to 111, at which a few sales took piace—enough merely to make the quotation. The rise was trifling com- pared with the influences operating to stimulate an upward movement. The course of the market is shown in the table. In the gold loan market the rate ranged from 2 to 6 per cent for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as foliows:— Gold cleared. $25,511,600 Gold balanc 1,779,011 Currency bi 2,235,275 THE SPECIZ MOVEMENT.

The upwardjmovement, except in Western Union, which Tose to 4634 on very heavy transactions, was more steady than large, the average improvement being about % to 3g per cent. The directors of St. Paul declared the dividend announced in the HERALD this morning, only that the amount on the com- mon stock 1s seven instead of five per cent in stock, the former figure being intended, but the latter occurring through an oversight in preparing the manuscript for the printer. The bank statement produced no effect, for the reason tnat it had been generally anticipated, while the belief prevailed that the “bear” cliques had abaadoned their pur- pose and returned the deficient greenbacks to the banks, ‘The failure of a firm in Philadelphia, alleged to be short of Reading, started that stock up to 103%—while a consideration of 1-64 per day was pald for its use in making deliveries this afternoon.
