timated at twenty five dollars.
Near St Olaf postofiice, six or seven

mons this afternoon Sir Stafford Northcote,
chancellor Of the exchequer, replying to
the inquiry Of W. Foster, said that the sit.
uation is an anxious one. but nothing has
occurred to aggravate it or TO diminish the
hope ofits being satisfactory arranged. Moth
ing justifies the assertion that England will
be isolated. A circular IS expected from
Turkey to the powers There is good
prospect of an arrangement in Thessaly and
Epirus, through the good offices Of Eng.

not support his anti. Russian policy
Among large classes of Austrians,y the
belief is said to prevail that Austria has
nothing substantial to gain by either peace
or war. because Hungaria would resist an.

Washington, April l6.-Mr. Howe said
that few weeks ago he submitted some re-
marks on the resolution calling upon the
president for certain information in regard
to Judge Whitaker, Of Louisiana, when the
executive session was ordered, and that no
action was taken. He hoped that the SEN
a.e would now adopt it. He then made an
explanation.
Mr.. Davis, Of West Virginia, submitted
a, substitute for the resolution of Mr.
Howe, that submitted by him on the 26th Of
March, calling upon the secretary Of the
treasury for Information relative to the bal
ances due from the collectors Of internal rev.
euue not in Office, what amount has been set
tied by the compromise, &c.
Mr.. Conkling said that the two resolutions
had nothing ON earth to do with each other.
Would it not be as we'll to adopt the resolu-
tions separately. The adoption of substi-
tutc would thwsrt the resolution Of Mr..
Howe. He did not want to stiae the en-.
quiry. There had been some scandal in re.
gard to this New Orleans Judge.
Mr.. Eustis enquired Whist was the scandal.
Mr.. Conkling said it was not ncceseary for
him to 60 into that question. The allega.
ton had been made that there was connet.
ton between the Judge named and the enter.
ing Of nolle prosequi. In certain cases.
that was the allegation, though he did no,
believe it, ss be had not seen the evidence
to support it.
After some further discussion, the resolu.
tion Of Mr.. Howe was adopted.
The resolution of Mr.. Davis was also
adopted, "a q separate proposition.
