Session Of the Canadian Cabinet-The
Decision <0f Judge Coursol-uoye.
1ncnts Of the Raiders.
MONTREAL, Saturday, Dec. H.-3fr. Potter
field, agent Of the Confederate Government,
and now custodian Of the money taken by the
st, Albans raiders, Is to be examined, and 1t
is probable that the money taken by the raid
ers will be giyen up to the proper authori
ties.
QUEBEC. December 15.-The cabinet had
long session today, and 1t Is understood that
the members unanimously denounced the act
Of Judge CouFsol discharging the St: Albans
raiders. Tho prctense was that the Cana
dian extradition act Of 1861 was not in force,
because 1t had not been assented to by the
queen In council. IF tho Judge had Inquired
Of The government, he anould hare found kta! her
mqjtsty had specially Gsseattd to that act. he
made IN assertion against the validity of the
act Of the Canadian legislature without proof
The Attorney General, it is understood, ,ad-
vised the issue Of new warrants on the same
night by the judge Of the Superior Court of
Montreal, for the reaEreat Of the raiders, some
Of whom have gone cast to Halifax and some
west. Officers are On their trucks, aud they
cannot escape Il they remain In Canada.
The Canadian Government has no legal
right to act directly, as the courts have indo-
pendent Jurisdiction. If the Judges refuse to
do their duty or act corruptly, they may be
srlspe nded, or in some cases dismissed. It Is
probable the Coursol will be dismissed.
Parliament, which usually meets in Febru-
ary will be summoned to assemble in the
middle Of January, when laws will be passed
to meet the urgency Of the great change Of
public feeling toward the Confederates, since
they have shown an intention Of embroiling
the two countries In war

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TnB poToMAC,

To-day has been very quiet one along the
whole line. Even the firing Oh James River
seems to be suspended. The report circulated
to the effect that Gen. Warren had ordered
the houses on the line of his late march to be
burned in retaliation for the shooting of some
stragglcrs BY guerillas. Is untrue. Gen. War
rem, as we'll as his staff and other comman-
dcrs, did all in their power TO prevent these
outrnges, particularly where women md
children were living, and although their ef-
forts did not prevent terrible scene Of desc
lation and conhagration, Jet more than one
habitation WAS sayed to its unfortunate oc-

evening about O'Clock the large and costly
Court House in this city Was discovered to be
on fire. Tie citizens quickly rallied, but
owing to the fact that there was no fire de.
rartment or organization Of any description
to guard against fire, nothing could be done
to save the building, which was entirely de-
etroyed. All the books, furniture, etc., were
saved in damaged condition. During the af:

building and the chimneys burned out. It Is
supposed That the fire originated from m im-

Dispatches have been received to-day from
Gen. Foster, who had personal interview on
the morning Of Wednesday, the 14th inst,
with Gen. Sherman, at Fort McA1lister, which
had been taken By assault on the preceding
day.

TWO days, and If not surrendered Sherman
would open his batteries upon it.
Gen. Foster reports that sherman's army is
in splendid condition, having lived on its
march on turkeys, chickens, sweet potatoes
md other good things in the richest part OF
Georgia.
Nothing has been heard from Gen. Thomas
to-day. CnofIlcial dispatches state that the
Provost Marshal ut Louisville reports 5000
prisoners and 50 pieces Of artillery as being
already secured. 1t Is ascertained that In
transmitting Gen. Thomas report last night
telegraphic mistake was made at Louisville

Thomas stated that his whole loss would not
exceed 3,0oo, and that very few were killed.
