Florida Treaty. The commission appointed three years ago, tinder this Treaty, for ascertaining and adjusting claims against the Government of Spain, expired on the 8th ins t by the terms of the Treaty, and accordingly the Hoard adjourned The report of their proceedings has been transmitted to the Department o State, with a complete list of all the claims allowed, and the amoun t of each. The amount of the claims allowed as fvalid by the Board is 5,454,545 dollars "IS eta. and as only five millions were stipulated by the treaty, and appropri ated by Congress, for the payment of those claims, an abatement of 81 per cent, will reduce the amount of each clairn allowed to S91 66J, in the, 100 dollars. The Board have recommend ed to the Secretary of State to publish " the lilt, and it is probable he will do so. The Committee ol Investigation on the charges preferred against the Se cretary of the Treasury by Ninian Ed wards, commenced their sittings on the .Sth inst. all the members present, ex- sept Mr. Randolph and -Mr. Owen of Alabama.' They will continue to sit eve ry, day until the business ia. thoroughly .sifted. At their meeting on the 9th inst. a letter was read from the accu ser, in which he objects to being ex amined personalty, as a witness, bjihe Committee, on the ground that he had no additional facts or evidence, within his own '.knowledge to communicate. So, so, Wlr. Edwards I Mr. Crawford's health. We learn from unquestionable authority, that this gentleman is pronounced to be out . of all danger from the etTects of hiirecent illness. - He contemplates a 'visit to the north, in a few days, for the purpose of bracing his system, which has suffered much from disease and close application combined. We can Mot but notice with painv and regref, the many ill-natured and unfeeling re- marKs.inade about the health of Mr. Crawford, by the presses opposed to Lim. The followine extract is from the Philadelphia Columbian Observeri a paper devoted to the interests of Gcn Jackson, 'lint cause must needs be a desperateone, "which requires for its support such detestable violations of truth and decorum.

The first object of Internal Improve ment, (says the National Intelligencer) to, which, under the beneficent act of the last Session, the attention of the Executive has been directed, is, weun- destand, a survey of the proposed route of-the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, to its termination on-the Western waters arid thence to Lake Erie. We conffra- tulate our readers, that this highly im portant preliminary work is about to be undertaken, by a Board of Surveyors, wjiose capacity and experience afford the promise of almost mathematical ac curacy to the results of their labors.

" The Spanish. Claims Loan. We nnnerstana that tne loan oi nvc mu Iiona of dollars," authorized bj the act of. Conres3 to provide for the payment of the awards of the Commissioners. t under the Treaty with Spain, has been taen u il Tl me Danic oi tne j nneu otaies. x ins i information must be very satistactory to tlie numerous claimants, who will A pair of Poets. It 'appears that now be enabled to receive immediate the lady (Mrs. Wells) who gained the payment of the sums awarded to them, prize fur the Address at the Chatham by, the Board of Commissioners, whose street Theatre, in New-York, is the sittings are just about being brought to wife of the gentleman who gained the a final close. The arranjremeut, too, brize for the Address at the New-Or seems to be very advantageous to the government. . By the Treaty with pa in, 'these claims were to be; paid either immediately in money, or in a stock bearins' an interest of six per cent.' year.' : AVith a . view oC prentinsr by the present reduced rate of interest, it was determined , to adont the former plan; and by the creation a stock at a low rate oi lnieresr, -proviae xneiooui uiu iu o must .euutkuig uia-mcr. means of paying the ciaimauts in'mol ney, instead of a six per cent stock, I saving of eurse the dijferenc& of inte-1 rest. The rate of interest fixed in the ac ..f Congress, was 41 per .cent and at this rate the loan has been taken by the Bank of the United State's.' Inde- pendent, however, of the lowness of the nominal rate of interest, the con- nection of the Bank with the Govern ment renders it still more beneficial to the latter. The Government is a part Iner in the-Bank, to the amount of a 1 large proportion oi its capital, ami wilt I (vVCl'C Uill-K, III UlVlUCIiUS a pi upul IIUIJ - al share of the interest of the loan, and ' as at ine ureiu mou exit, . iuc mnK .ai ,"e.HIV f":u . U1f neyed institutions, and moneyed men, both here and in Europe, finds it diffi cult to invest all its funds in business loans, andean take this loan without reducinpfits discounts,1 the. whole inte rest of the loan is so much clear profit to the Bank and the lovernment. We learn from a friend who is very familiar with these subjects, that the dividends receivable by the Govern ment on its Bank shares, out otthe 225,000 dollars, the interest of 4 per cent on the five millions, willamountl to more than fifty thousand dollars a year, which will reduce the whole sum to be advanced by the Government for .t ... J . . tese nv e millions, to a little less than ir5,t000 dollars, which will be actually a fraction below 3k per cent. 3o that in fact, the loan at par from the Bank is as advantageous to the Government, as if individuals hadgiven for it a pre-; mium ot o 4-10ths per cent. If the arrangement be satisfactory to the claimants, and advantageous to the Government, we-presume, that, in the present superabundance of capital, it must be usetul to the Bank also, to whose sagacity in these matters, we may trust that the loan would not have been taken, had it not been tor the be nefit of the institution. In every point' ot view, tnerelore, the operation ap pears to have been judicious and satis factory.

It is stated in an English paper, that , straw possesses the quality of serving as a conductor to lightning and hail, and repeated experiments have proved it quite as safe-a conductor as iron rods now tixed upon Duiiuinss. in conse- quence of thig discovery, the common buildings ma v be secured from the effects of lightning in the most econo- micai manner.
