WASHINGTON, July 10.
The Circuit Court of the United States
for this District is still in session, occupied
exclusively, for the present, with hearing
arguments upon questions arising out of the
case of the United St iles vs. • the late
Fourth Auditor. The whole of yesterday
was occupied in an argument by Mr. Jones,
in support of the demurrer to the latest in
ilicinients. The argument upon (bat point
is supposed t(> be concluded.. Hut other
questions are expected to arise and be de
hated to day. It is now nearly two months
that this matter had been, in*o#e form or
other before the Court.—Intelligencer.

Latest fronts Halifax.—By the packet

the James came out, wbenre she sailed*on
the SOth May ; no communication was had
with her. *
A brig supposed the Jpsepji of Whiteh.i
verr, from Liverpool or L< nrlon, bound to
Quebt c or Montreal, went ashore, and was
abandoned on the Bird Inlands, early in
May last. She had a lull cargo of assorted
goods, which, toge'tlier, with the materials
of the ship, have been plundered hy Seal

Magdelen Islands.

being surrounded by White People and de

they have but one channel of intercourse,
the rivers generally coming from the West

tlte advantage of water transportation for

and the decorations for the national jubilee
were happily designed arid executed. The
great illumination-pteturo of the Declara-

preserved. There was another noyel; arid
beautiful exhibition, being tm illuminated
temple, in the sunlit part of tlte gardens,
which excited universal admiration With-
in this, there Was some ingenious mechan
ism,'forming a beautiful and ever-varying
ornament, which wc hardly know how to
