Second section. of the act. In addition tC
that, by the Law, he is authorized to issuC

er to issue one hundred and thirty mil

Mr. Davis, of Maryland, said he was
not in favor Of putting out any more cir

namely: HAnd the Secretary of the Treas

of the act Of june 22d, 1864, in pursuance
of the notice for proposed loan, dated

for the one per centum deposited under
said notice and not repaid, provided that
the bond so issued shall bear not more
than FIVE per centum interest, and
provided further that the fractional
amount may be repaid in lawful money of
the United States"
Mr.. Stevens offered another resolution,
restricting the issue of legal tenders,
which was agreed to.
The bill was then passed in the following
form:
Be 1t enacted, That in lieu of any bonds
authorized to be issued by the first section
of the act entitled An act to provide ways

ment approved June 30, 1864, that may

In the case of Bennett G. Burleigh, the

two o'clock this afternoon, by Recorder

crowded. A large number of Southerners
were present. The Recorder, after citing
the evidence for the defense and prosecu.
tion, ordered the rendition of the prisoner
under the Extradition Treaty. The fol-
lowing IS the concluding portion of the
judgment: I find and determine that the
evidence taken before me, according to the
laws of this Province, on the charge of

THE BURSTING OF GUNS.
WAsHNGToN, Jan. 20.
The Secretary of the Navy, in response
to the call from the House for facts rela-
tive to the bursting of the Parrot guns at
Fort Fisher, says the number destroyed
was five, and that twenty-five persons
we're killed and wounded. The cause of
their bursting is declared cannot be de-
termined for want of further data. None
of these guns we're entirely of wrought
iron, but were of cast iron, strengthened
at the breach by wrought iron bands.
The Secretary of the Treasury in re-
sponse to an inquiry, by what law goods
and merchandise pass into Canada and
back into the United States, explains that
goods, the production of the United States,
by virtue OF treaty regulations are per-
mitted to pass through Canada in vessels
by way of the st. Lawrence and Canada
canal. Yet these several acts do not
provide for the transit of merchandise
through Canada by other routes than those
designated by treaty. Merchandise pas
sing from one port to another of the
United States, though the transit may,
in part, be through foreign territory, has
not been regarded as exported within
of the law, the destination being
to port in the United States and the
merchandise not being unlsden within
foreign Jurisdiction, to insure the protec-
ton of the Revenue Department, mer-
chandise SO passing In transit from one
port of the United States to another of
Canadian railroad, to be conveyed in locked
cars and be accompanied by ..an officer of
