THE Gun. BOAT Ids
One of the lowest bidders Cor the 6un.boats was
Mr.. Westervelt of New-York. who bid d, S'S'ooV
for seventy-fve days. Others at the same rate
were received from Baltimore.
All bids for gun.boats from builders east OF
New.York have been rejected. Eastern men
win however, have an opportunity 70 deprive
Philsdelphia, New-York, and Baltimore OF the
honor of constructing all, if they come down be-
low $780, eco.
We understand that the Secretary of the Navy
has decided not to accept any of the bids for the
building of the new Gun-bOats. An average of
prices will be adjusted and offers made for construc-
ton at specific sums. A circular has been prepared,
cory to be sent TO each of the 200 bidders, pro-
posing to give $4,000 for q gun-boat constructed
in 20 days; $4,000, if in 80 days; and $50, ,OGO
if in 105 days; the eutire number Of the boats
being 25 of the class designated. If the acceptors
exceed this number then they are to draw .Ots
or otherwise decide ss to whom the contracts shall
be awarded.
Mrs Douglns is in the city on short visit.
She will make Chicago her resdence.
ENGLAND AND TIE REBELLION.
The last advices from England are expressive
of subdued tone Of the Ministry in their policy
toward this country. They are evidently satisfied
of their mistake in assuming tho success OF the
Southern rebellion, with the compliance of the
North. But Mr.. Bull 10 always most in the right
when he is most in the wrong and never con-
fesses to q blunder All accounts concur III

most universal in favor of the Government. If

spit upon by Prime Ministers, nor have our
diplomatic representatives kicked by Secretaries
of Foreign Affairs.
TIE CAPTURED PIRATES.
A question is likely to be raised, Of no little
Importance, in the case of the pirates Wh"
managed the Savannah. Where and how shall
they be tried J Our law of piracy provides that
t>e pirate shall be taken before Il Circuit Court
of the United States ib the district where he
shall be brought or found. This must mean the
district within which be shall be brought fret
after his capture. Now. the crew of the Savan.
nah were taken in the Minnesota to Hampton
Roads. and there transferred to the Harriet
Iape. Ia this to be considered a. bringing them
within the district, and, If 30, can Circuit
Court be created there by the President, there
being none there at present Gen. Butler, whoss
experience as criminal lawyer has iamllarized
him with the statutes on this head. and who
finds tune TO discuss such questions, has in his
dispatches taken this point and suggested that
Court be instituted at Fort Monroe to meet this
and similar exiee1cies.
LOUISVILLE AND THE UNION.
A recent letter from Louisville says that there
is no business there of any kind. The city is
unconditonsly for the Union. Even Secession
ists dare not talk what they mean, but clothe |
their reasonable designs with the form of armed |
neutrality. A Union club in Louisville Of ten |
days' growth numbers between 5000 and 4, 600 !
