The Senate has confirmed the claim of John E.
Bonligny to 75,000 acres of land in Louisiana ;
provided for the appointment of franking clerks for
the heads of departments ; amended the homestead
and postal laws in several important respects ;
heard and referred bills for the equalisation of boun-
ties, and for fixing the salaries of territorial judges
at $2,500. The bankrupt bill which passed the
House last session is no w likely to pass the Senate with
some amendment ; and the tariff bill, for which all
other business was set aside, on Monday, Janus*.
20, is declared to take effect April 1. A bill to
protect all persons acting during the war under
orders from their superiors, who may be in clanger
from the decision in the Milligan case, passed the
House by a vote of 105 to 42, and goes to the
Senate, where there is little prospect that it will
pass this session. Mr. Dodge, of New York, made
a strong speech in the House, January 20, against
impeachment and against State reconstruction at
the South, declaring his belief that those States are
now in the Union as much as any others. The
Senate will not allow the house bill making League
Island the depot for ironclads till a committee of
naval officers has reported favourably upon it, which
they have already done in favour of New London.
Fire has destroyed the conservatory of the Exe-
cutive mansion at Washington, containing maul
valuable plants that no money will replace. Lose
on the building $20,000. Seventeen other destruc
tive fires are reported, involving an estimated loss
of $1,560,000, besides much loss of life.
We trust that the recent frightful losses from fire
will arouse such a measure of attention to an evil --
capable of prevention to a very great extent—thst
some stringent regulations will be passed, and
close investigation made into the subject.
The Queen, of the National Steam Navigation
Company, arrived at Liverpool on Thursday own-
ing, having left New York, on the 26th ult., with

A letter from Berlin states that the commercial
flag of the Confederation of Northern Germany hi°
been definitively fixed upon, and that it Will Pa
composed of the colours black, white, and red. Th. e
black and white represent the colours of Prussia,
and the white and red those of the Hanseatic towoB'
In the middle of the flag the Prussian eagle will he
emblazoned.
