BUSINESS FOR CONGRESS.

At this season of the year the preparation Of the
Annual Reports for Congress usually affords active
employment to all persons connected with the Pub
lie Departments, and it not unfrequently happens
that authentic information relating to matters Of
State first falls into the hands Of the correspondents
of distant newspapers. The precision with which
the subjoined statements are made by the Washing
ton Correspondent of the New York Courier gives
to them the impress of truth:
San informal summary Of the annual commerce and
navigation reports has been prepared for the of the
Secretary Of the Treasury from which appears that the
imports of foreign merchandise during the fiscal year end
ing June 30 1854, fraction over $780, 600 000
The exports Of domestic produce between $3.50
600 and $500 100000. The exports of breadstus and
provisions somewhat in of $50 The
difference between the imports and exports made
In California gold stocks, and mercantile obligations
The revenue from customs, before stated about
sos, 600 000 and from all other S. 000 900
The sales Of public lands have very greatly
ing the first six months Of the present year. and exceed
those of any corresponding period since 1885, but
the larger portion of the sales have been made under the
graduation act of the last session of Congress- and
prices varying from fifty to twelve-andahalf cents per
acre. it spresumed that considerable increase oreve

SENATOR SHIELDS.

This distinguished gentleman was rendered public
dinner at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the 2lst instant
whilst his way to Washington but he declined the
honor account Of his anxiety to proceed to the
Of his duties. The invitation most cordial one,
signed by hundred citizens embracing Judge VIII
KINs, CHAs. SHALER, WILSON McCAsDLEss and other
prominent Of both parties. They claimed the right
to honor him. among other things for the recollection Of
his kindness to the Pennsylvania troops and because it
is well known that his body and near his heart he
bears the proof of the patriotism DEVOTION and spirit
that made him and will continue to make him fit and
ready to defend the Republic They added that the Ame
rican people will have sadly changed in their hearts if
these things forgotten. The reply Of General
SHIELDS modest and appropriate. He felt inspired
with pride and pleasure to be esteemed worthy Of such
friendly consideration. Some Of those who designed him
honor he said had been his companions in the service
Of the country, and the word friendship could not
press the feelings that bound him to them. The past
the well-remembered past, had made them brothers.

CASE OF MR.. soULE.

1t win be seen by the late intelligence from
Europe that Mr.. SoULE has been permitted to pass
through France in returning to the seat of his mis-
sion in Spain. The subjoned paragraphs, which
we clip from Boston paper, appear to give ra-
tional explanation of the whole transaction:
THE SoULE AFFAIR-The Courier des Etats
Unis has version of Mr.. Soule's affair with the
French Government different from any other that
has appeared. 1t says Louis Napoleon's instruc-
tions to his police were as follows:
In Mr. Soule shall declare his intention
France to tarry long short time, he must be noti-
fed that his sojourn in France is forbid
" In the Minister Of the United States to the Court
of Spain shall simply demand to traverse France in
der to reach his post, vise his passport"
1t states that Mr.. Soule was not absolutely for
hidden to enter France, but merely requested to
main in Calais twenty -four hours or until the pass
port officers in that place could communicate with
Paris.
If this version of the affair is correct it fully ex-
plains what has been termed the retraction of the

THE SPANISH MINISTER.

We are deeply concerned to state that the in

briefly mentioned in our paper of Thursday last,
proved to be much more dangerous than was appre-
hended at the time. On being conveyed to his resi-
dence he was Immediately attended by professional
gentlemen of eminent skill, but, save that the in
jury was found to be in the head the nature of the
hurt could not be ascertained and the patient lay
with little apparent intelligence, and evidently in
most critical state down to yesterday afternoon the
chances Of life seeming to become more and more
hopeless. Although he may have ceased to live
before this sheet issues from the press we were sin
cerely glad to learn, at haf-past FIVE o'clock last
evening, that the symptoms were thought to be
slightly encouraging.
The department Of this distinguished gentleman
during his brief residence in this city, and the ele
waited qualities which mark his character, have won
for him high degree of respect in the circle in
which he is known, and have caused corresponding
degree of anxiety in the issue of this sad misfortune
