TUESDAY, May 3.
Both Houses were iu session, last
evening, until near midnight. The
attempt to open Sunday travelling over

WAS uciCdtCu.
The weather seems more like "stormy

THURSDAY, May 5.
At noon, both branches OF the Legisla-
turc dj,urncd until the 23l August.
The parting was apparently in the best Of
feeling-'hc minority Offering most com
plimeDtary resolutions 10 favor of the
III j ,rity officers, followed up by divers
cane presentations. And by mId-after-
noon, the streets under the rays of fervid
sun presented quiet aspect, very unlike
the previous stir aud hustle.
The Governor thanked the Legislature
for the Bill for Revenue passed by them,
but com nplained of the late hour when the
reached him-too late for
him to give it proper attention. lie also
thought it far too large, in many particu-
lars-but had concluded to approve it,
rather than incur other risks aud losses.
The Rebel Raid bill would probably have
passed, had the session been continued
it was checked in Senate by the Grmness
of Senators Lowry, johnson, and others,
until too late to pass this year.
The summary Of acts Of the Legislature

They are important, aud have been won
by great efforts against crafty opposition.

Over Eight Per Cent Interest

IN currency, and are of equal convenience as
permanent or temporary investment.
Ii is believed that no securlIies offer so
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other
forms Of indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or sepa-
rate communities only is pledged for pay
ment, while for the debts OF the United STATES
the whole property Of the country is holden
TO secure the payment OF both principal and
interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $50 mp 10 any magnitude. on the
same terms, and are thus made equally avail
able to the smallest lender and the largest
capitalist. They can be converted into money
at any moment, and the holder will have The
benefi, Of the interest.
Ii may be nseful to state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the United
States on which interest is payable in gold,
on the I'd day of March 1864, was S76s, $685.
900. The interest on this debt for the coming
fiscal year will be Si5,937,l26, while the
customs revenue IN gold for the current fiscal
year, ending June 3Olh. 1864. has been SO far
at the rate of over 81 OF, ,OOo, 200 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in
excess of the wants of the Treasury Cor the
payment of gold interest. while the recent
increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the
annual receipts from customs on the same
amount Of imPor,a,ions, to $3.50, 100000 per
anDum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the
United States Treasury until March 26, buI
in the first three weeks of April the subscrip-
tons averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A
WEEK.
Subscriptions will be received by all
NATIONAL BANKS

Will leave cash Indebtedness,
after the outstanding subscrip.
tions are collected, of 5000
But as these subscriptions are not yet
collected, and likely some will be lost,
and the boarding house furniture not sold,
the cash Indebtedness was put down at
$500, and the entire liabilities includ-
ing uhrcdecmed scholarships, at Sl3,S00.
This leaves the claims, in money, on the
Seminary, $500, which will probably be
spmewhat reduced by the above funds,
besides meeting incidental expenses, but
will not liquidate the entire debt.
Rev, Geo. Hunter Was appointed local
agent of the Seminary. Rev d. Wilmer,
s Wolf aud j. NJ. Saylor were appointed
committee to lease the Seminary. Rev.
S. Wolf was elected Secretary of the
b ard Of Trustees in place Of Rev. Jacob

BALTIMORE, May 3.-rbe American's S
special Annapolis letter says the Aag Of
truce boat New York arrived at the naval
academy wharf yesterday morning, from
City Poiut, with "a paroIed officers and
SOL men. Such was the condition Of the
latter that every man Of them was admit
ted to the hospital. Que hundred aud
titty had to be carried from the boat on
siIetchers aud cars. Their looks and
words abundautIy testify that their miser-
able condition has been produced by star
va'ion, aud many are undoubtedly past
the reach of medicine or noutlshment.
Among the officers Is Colonel Rose, of the
