The Senate has confirmed the claim of John •
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 now likely to pass the Senate with
some amendment ; and the tariff bill, for which al)
other business was set aside, on Monday, JanurY
20, is declared to take effect April 1. ANi to
protect all persons acting during the wp, "der
orders from their superiors, who may j in danger
from the decision in the Milligan
tease, passed the
House by a vote of 105 to 12, and goes to the
a.m.& VILI.I. 13 lime 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 5g
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 BO'
cutive mansion at Washington, containing man/
valuable plants that no money will replace. L 0
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—that'
some stringent regulations will be passed, and 14
close investigation made into the subject.
The Queen, of the National Steam Navigatic°
Company, arrived at Liverpool on Thursday even;
ing, having left New York, on the 26th ult., wit

A letter from Berlin states that the commerc-
