lJ~In the Globo of the 18th, we find the talk
in Congress ON the occasion of the discovery OF
the correspondence between Brown of Indiana
and the Free Sellers. Mr. Brown himself made
lengthy explanation, the burthen of which was
that he was never friendly to the Wilmot Proviso
and that his letter to the Free Sellers meant no
thing. We infer. that those free sellers who vo-
ted for linn. after his explanation, did not regret
the i'll success of their efforts.

In the u. 8. Circuit Court.
Before Judge Belts, Nov. 30.

The United States VS.. Horace Southrnayd II al
This is an action the part of the Government to
test disputed section of the tariff act Of 1896 in
relation 10 the importation of Muscovado sugar.
. The question TO determine is, whether the duty
is chargeable upon the weight Of the sugar per
invoice or upon the weigher's returns after land
ing II is a conceded fact, that sugars will waste
by leakage or drainage, during the voyage, TO tho
extent of twenty or fifty per cent? yet, as the resi-
due is of so much more value, il is contended by
the custom house authorities that the duty should
be levied upon the full invoice weight. The Gov
eminent also contend that the importer is cstopped
from denying his invoice.
This question has been decided in Maryland in
favor of the importer and the present suits brought
for the purpose Of presenting the question TO the
Supreme Court Of the United States i'm order TO
have the law settled, and, If necessary, obtain the
action Of Congress in providing remedy. Under
any circumstances, therefore, the verdict will be
subject TO the opinion of the court above.-N Y.
