Mr. Butler upon which suits. He made IN
quries at the Custom House for the information
70 enable him to bring those bonds He received
Information from of the officers there which ne

SUNS were commenced but he found Afterwards that ms
Information was incorrect and he had to discontinue

TINS ciaim ma Is given up. The other claims which re
qire some consideration are for fees amounting to $685.
22 Inc question is, is he entitled those
ey Gu. on oy the acts OF lsoa and 1922 By the act OF
ne wes 10 De paid by fees alone but by the act 1899
further provision has been made for the msnner in
which the Collector s to be compensated By this act he

mode OF compromising the collector alter ed By this
act he gets salary $4,000 rear with loron Of the
fines, orfeuIes and penalties in addition II il copended
that those provisions do not deprive him those fees that
they remain the same; cannot agree that this is law II
strikes that this set provides that the $4,000 be the
PENALTIES and foreitures In 1922 another act passed
reducing the salary TO $4,000 excepting nes &C. This
in my mind is conclusive and think this then be
disaowed With respect to he claim for $20l 000 is
there any thing that satisfy you that this allowance
should be maJel does not strike that there any
lour for allowing this claim he claim any thing
for extraordinary duties Let US now what was the
duty OF Mr. Hoyt Collector. he Bound 10 receive
the duties here and he bound be subject to the
ders OF the Treasury Department and whatever duties he
may have PEI formed in his official capacity does not
title him to extra compensation the ruleOt law tn he
cannot claim any thing for what he does in his official
capacity and this question to be decided according 10
those principles Of law is therefore clear that this item
must be stricken out Hecanno as Collector be entitled
to compensation for those services. There some
other small items which his honor left to the discretion Of
the jury.

DEAR BENNETT =
The polls have just closed in this city and pre-
cincts, and from the long faces of the "Coons,"
apprehend they are pretty considerably skinned, and
that John Minor Bolts will be allowed to waste
" his sweetness where his talents can be much bet
ter appreciated than attempting TO "head" or :" i'm
peach" the Captain in the National Legislature at
Washington. The "Coons'' polled heavy vote in
Richmond, about 450 majority but the unterrified
and unbeught Democracy OF Chesterfield, came up
tor Jones with such mighty rush, giving HIM over
.W majority, that the most sanSuine of Bolts
friends consider his chance this evening az hopeless
will give you further particulars TO morrow
Yours, truly,

NEW NEGOTIATIONS WITH ENeIAYp-We believe
thai we may announce as certain, that most impor-
liant negotiations have been projected by our gov
eminent In relation TO the commercial intercourse
OF the United States with England, and also with
France. These negotiations have reference 10 a
Commercial Treaty, embracing international
tariff of duties, on the produce and manufactures
OF both countries hending also the colonies,
shipping, and perhaps mutual arrangement OF the
copyright.
The retirement of Mr.. Webster from the cabinet,
is not his retirement altogether from the services OF
the government. 1t now understood that the Bril-
sh government is ready and willing to open ne
goci for the mutual settlement of compre-
hensve commercial treaty, as well as the Oregon
boundary-and ii is generally believed, that Mr.
Webster will hold himself in readiness to give his
and IN conducting such measure, as soon as The
Court of St. James shall be ready to act.
Informal communicationshave already passed be-
tween the two governments-and it is believed that
Mr.. Webster only retres TO Marshield to prepare
himself tor entering upon the new scene OF negocia.
tons with freshness and vigor, as a special minister
or commissioner.
We also understand from good authority that the
French government have been sounded on the same
question, aud that strong disposition exists in the
Guzot ministry TO negotiate similar treaty be-
tween France and the United States
The recent modification and changes in the cabi-
net at Washington, are only so many preparations
TO enter upon the new scene of negocation-and if
these projects should succeed, we may see impor-
tant results for the peace of the world settled on
frmer basis than in any former age

iugtons colored servant Cary, buried on Sunday
last, from Greeneaf's Point, and followed to the
grave by large number Of blacks. lie was, we
understand at the time of his death ia years old ,
and was for number of years oser to Gen Wash
ington, whom he served at the passage OF the Del
aware, and the battles of Brandywne and Trenton.
Old Cary was known and respected by every citizen
of this pace-he loved the memory of his patriotic
master, and an humble mark Of respect, on his
birth day, and in fact, every military PARADE wore
an old shadbeied uniform coat, and a three corner
ed hat with huge cockade, which he said Washing
ton gave him. On these occasions the boys used to
collect around him, but his venerable appearance
disarmed them of all thoughts of mischief and he
was always allowed the honorable privilege of hob
bling in the of the military, under whose protec-
ton he generally placed himself Washington Cap
