The SUGAR Duty case has lately been tried
in the U. S. Circuit Court at New York, &c test the
question whether in levyng duties upon sugars i'm.
ported the United States are entitled to impose and
collect duty upon the weight of sugar shipped, or
the weight received in the United States inasmuch
as sugars are liable to leakage or drainage of mo-
asses, varying from to so per cent. The question
turns upon the provso to the 9Th section of the Ia
riff, act Of 1876, which is as follows:
Provided, nevertheless that under no circumstances shall
the duty be assessed amount of less than the invoice
value law Of Congress to the contrary Notwithstanding
In an action brought against the United States in
Baltimore, to recover duties paid in excess on
gars, involving the same question, Chief Justice
fancy, who presided, ruled that the terms "amOunt
Less in the proviso, were to be construed as ndi
eating rate less than The inUOice rate the amount
! Of sugar actually received in the United States
| rather than the amount of the whole invoice, and
on this ground the verdict Of the jury was given
against the United States. In the form in which
the action was brought in Baltimore, the question
could not be carried up 10 the Supreme Court Of
the United States AT the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury this suit was brought in New
/ York in shape which will allow the question to
/ be taken up for decision to the Supreme Court OF
| the United States. One reason which is urged why
the United States should collect duty the umoun,
Of the invoice is that sugars are improved in quail
ity as much as they are lessened in weight The
jury gave verdict for the defendant, subject to the
opinion Of the Court.

The detailed accounts by the Canada reached us
yesterday. Among them are full reports of the
Address Of MI Rives on his presentation to the
French President, and the reply Of the President
The illusions Of Louis Napoleon to the difficulty
with a. Poussin, are materially dferentfrom what
we had been led by the telegrapho accounts preyi-
ously, to believe. They are extremely civil towards
our Govemment--butit will be seenthat they take
care not 70 disavow but on the contrary by plain
adoption, to sanction the position taken by NJ De
Toequeville in his correspondence with Mr.. Clay
ton, that there had been faults on both sides'"
The Presidents address takes credit ior his own
magnanimity in making the first step towards the
reestablshment Of harmony between the two coun-
tries" notwithstanding the faults which it was
rightto admit on both sides - (1lalgre des torts
don't u Stait isste de eonUenir de part ct daattre)
twill be remembered that when NJ DeTocque-
vile expressed this opinion Of the mutual faults O.
the diplomatis;s, Mr. Clayton wrote dispatch di
rectly to that Minister, in which he expressed hi
displeasnre at the presumption of thus undertaking
to pronounce an opinion on the manner in whcl
the American Government had conducted Che cor
respondence, and he insisted that it was not onl
courteous and. respectful in terms, but nnexeepion
able in spirit
The rGafirmance, IN substance, Of the opinio
4 which thus offended Mr.. Clayton, leaves YER
awkward matter still unsettled in the controversy
The Frenchman has somehow got the adyantag
