cry body knows or ous ht to know, that an English
gentleman, named Snithson made IL large bequest n
few years ago to the U. States for scientific purposes
We-the money was received all in gold. or
this money, the then Locofoco Secretary of the Treas
ury (iesi Woodbury. gave half million in gold to
the ocoloco State Of Arkansas and took her bonds at
per, 4. ii. Sewer (locofoco u. S S;enator) and f.
4. Williamson, the agents of Arkansas IN this
business They delivered the paper bonds, took the
gold from MIR Woodbury., and sold it, OF course for
large premium, for Southern and Western bank
notes, and put the premium in their own pockets -
In addition 10 that, Sewer charged 5000 for his ser
vices, and Williamson $4,000 for his, and they paid
a Washington broker, who was their agent $4,000
out Of the fundloaned 50 900 more to sundry New
York brokers' and Sewer then appropriated $l4,-
500 and Williamson ST ,O94, each TO his own use

IMPORTANT DECISION.
CASE OF THE SoMERs.

CASE OF THE SoMERs.
Our readers will be very much gratifed to learn
that the Circuit Court of New York has decided a.
gainst the authority of the Grand Jury to enquire into
any alleged complaints for offences committed on
board the brig Somers. We trust that Comman
der Mackenzie will be subject to no further persecu-
tion-and that his trial will be suffered to take its
due course before the Naval Court Martal-from
which we anticipate for him fair and honorable &C
qritul.
The TIVE MY SEVENTH CoNGREss. We ex-
tract from article in the Baltimore American, the
following paragraph relating the doings of the Twcn
~ Seventh Congress, which has just expnncd
"The Twenty Seventh Congress sat some four
hundred and ftry days-passed more than four hun
dred bills into Acts (neary twice many any pre-
vious Congress -made more than ttco husand re-
ports and circulated several hundred thousand copies
Of valuable documents, among the people for their
information on public affairs.
The Wings found the annual expenditures of the
Government some thirty nine millions of dollars
They reduced them last year TO t,renyone Millions
and this year screneen millions. In this estimate
the Post Office expenditures not included nor
the interest on the Van Buren, National debt.
The Wings found the Florida war raging, after hav
ing drawn millions from the Treasury and causing
much loss of life. This war has been stopped and
the object for which it was waged, attained
The Boundary dispute with England relative TO the
North Eastern fronter has been satisfactorily adus-
ted. The difficulties with Mexico have been arrang-
ed. The Navy Department has been recognized,
the Navy Board abolished, and economy introduced
into the administration of the service. Retrench
meut has been made in the Army expenditures and
in the Civil Departments of the government. The
Indian Department, the Land Offices, and the Gus
tom Houses have been visited with wholesome
scrutiny, many abuses corrected, and many exrava-
gancies suppressed"
