The vacancies in the Cabinet had been filled up as fol-
lows :

The Hon. Abel Upsbur, of North Carolina, Secretary
of State.

The Hon. John C. Spencer, of New York, Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Hon. J. M. Porter, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of
War.

The Hon. David Henshaw, of Massachusetts, Secretary
of the Navy.

The Hon. C. A. Wicliffe, of Kentucky, Postmaster-
General.

The Hon. J. Nelson, of Maryland, Attorney-General.
Three of them are from slave-holding. and three from
non-slave-holding states. It is believed that every admi-
nistration, since the adoption of the federal constitution,
in 1789, has been organized with a scrupulous regard to
the principle that the slave-holding and non-slave-holding
states should be as equally represented as practicable.
THE CorroN CROP.—The following extract of a letter
from the south, dated June 9, is published in the New
York .American :

" As to the growing crop, it looks tolerably well, as I
understand, in some quarters ; but on the light land of
Alabama, and throughout Georgia (and, I presume, South
Carolina), the prospect never before was so bad. It is
admitted to be everywhere a very backward crop ; and
while in some parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,
and the Atlantic States, they are suffering for the want of
rain, on the Red River, and some other parts of Louisiana
and Mississippi, they are having too much rain, and a
good deal of damage is done by innundation. I append
some interesting data, to wit :
Cotton in Bloom. Killing Frost. Crop.
1836, June 4

1837, May 28
1838, June 14

1839, May 34 ........ Nov. 7
1840, June 6
1841, June 10
1842, May 20

,
These were taken in latitude 32. Now, neither in that or
any other latitude is there any appearance of bloom, and
I do not think the majority of the cotton that I saw will
be in bloom before the Ist of July. If the season con-
tinue dry, the sandy lands, as in 1838, will make very
little cotton ; but I rather look for a wet summer and fall,
an early frost, and a very moderate crop. You will see
by the above, that a late spring is invariably followed by
an early fall."

PosEYISM IN THE UNITED STATES.—The recent de-
velopments of the rapid progress of the " Tractarian" doc-
trines in this country, continue to excite the greatest inte-
rest amongst the religious circles. Great anxiety is felt
respecting the promised expose by Drs. Anson and Smith.
We wish to defer till after the appearance of this pamph-
let, some lengthened remarks which we have to make on
this subject. We have been furnished with a considerable
quantity of interesting materials, and will be enabled to
exhibit a tolerably full and accurate statement relative to
the spread of Pusevism in the American Episcopal Church.
—New York Morning Herald.—[The expose in question
has, we presume, to do with the scene described in the
following paragraph.]

EXCITING ORDINATION SCENE IN THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH.—EIeven young men were, on Sunday, or-
dained at St. Stephen's Church, by the Rev. Bishop
Onderdonk. The service was read by the Rev. Dr.
Berrien, and the sermon was preached by the bishop.
After he had concluded, the eleven candidates stood
around the altar, when he announced, as is customary,
that he was about to ordain them. and requested that if
there was any person or persons who had any objections
to make, or knew aught against them, they would now
announce the same. A moment of silence ensued, when
the Rev. Hugh Smith, of St. Peter's, rose in the middle
aisle, and stated that he had by letter yesterday informed
the bishop that he should protest against the ordination
of one of the candidates, Mr. Carey, in consequence of
his holding opinions favourable to Romanism ; and he
did now accordingly protest. When he sat down, the
Rev. Mr. Anthon, of St. Mark's Church, in this city,
who had been sitting in the same pew wtih Mr. Smith,
also rose, and in like manner protested against the ordi-
nation of Mr. Carey, for the same reason. Bishop On-
derdonk stated that he had received the objections of the
rev. gentlemen, and had in consequence appointed six
competent and worthy persons to examine into the charge
which had been made against Mr. Carey, and that they
had unanimously reported to him that it was unfounded ;
and that also was his own conviction, and that he should
proceed to ordain all the candidates. He then com-
menced reading the prayer, and during the ceremony
Messrs. Smith and Anthon both rose, and left the
church. It is supposed that the objections to the ordi-
nation of Mr. Carey, arose from the idea that he held an
opinion similar to those promulgated in the celebrated
Oxford tracts, and for which Dr. Pusey has been re-
cently suspended in England. It is, indeed, a continu-
ation of the same controversy which has divided the
episcopal church on the other side of the Atlantic.—New
York Express.
AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH THE REPEAL AGITA-
TION.—The " Genevese Traveller" of the Times, in a
letter dated from New York on the 13th ult. informs us
that the Repeal Associations and meetings are daily and
hourly diminishing in numbers and in influence. The
ag tators are distracted and divided. The O'Connell
party are without respectability. They are the mere toots
of a few demagogues, who seek political consequence at
the sacrifice of every principle that is held sacred among
honourable men. The O'Connell party, in this state,
consists of the same men that encouraged and supported
(as far as it could be done without personal danger) the
Canada revolt. They are the same men that " pledged
their lives and sacred honour," to spill their blood in
defence of the Rhode Island traitors, and then, when the
hour of danger approached, shamelessly abandoned their
dupes. With very few exceplons, they are Irish Catho-
lics, without character, and incomparably more ignorant
and uninformed than the South Carolina slaves. The in-
telligent native Americans, so far as I am informed, de-
nounce O'Connell and his abolition doctrines, Even
those in .he northern states, who claim to be Abolitionists,
but have regard for their own character, dare not avow
their support of him. In Charleston, South Carolina, a

Repeal Association was formed, and 'a
considerable sum
of money collected for the use of the Irish agitators. As
soon as O'Connell's speech, made at the Corn Exchange.
Dublin, on the 10th of May last, was received and pub-
lished, the Charleston Association was convened, and di-
vided their funds between two charitable institutions of
that city, and then, by resolution, dissolved the associa-
tion.

The Charivari announces that MM. Lamennais and
Lamartine were each preparing an appeal to France in
favour of Ireland.

Accounts have been received from the governor of Se-
negal to the 2d ult. They announce the almost total
failure this year of the gum trade.

The chief topic in the Paris papers of Thursday is Ire-
land. The subscription set on foot there amounted to
only about 610 francs (about £24), a sum not sufficient to
pay the expenses of M. Ledru Rollin's trip to Ireland.

SALT MINES IN FRANCE.—II is reported that a com-
pany is about to be formed, for the purpose of working
some salt mines in the neighbourhood of Pails, the pro-
pe►ty of Queen Christina of Spain.

The house of J. J. Meyer and Co., of Mulhausen, has
suspended its payments. It was engaged in the construc-
tion of locomotive and other steam-engines. Their debts
are said to be 1,200,000 francs, one-half of which is due
to a banking huuse at Mulhausen.

THE POPULATION OF FRANCE.—The Courrier Francais
of the 20th of July has the following :-301,474 young
men, of twenty years of age, born in 1822, drew lots this
year to furnish the usual complement of 80,000 men. In
this complment the portion of the department of the
Seine is 1,767 men.

Beaumont Smith, whose name obtained such publicity
in connection with the exchequer-bill fraud, is employed
as a kind of clerk to the superintendent of the Cascade
Station, about fifty miles up the country from Hobart
Town. The convict Smith seems resigned to his fate, and
enjoys a moderate degree of health.
The republic of Texas is beginning to find that the foul
blot of slavery must be washed away, before it can realize
any degree of national prosperity. We learn from the
Texian and New Orleans papers, that " amongst other
schemes for the amelioration of the country, that of con-
verting it into a flee state is openly advocated."

A letter from Copenhagen, dated June 30, states that
the Princess of Hesse Cassel, sister of the Queen Dowa-
ger of Denmark, and Abbess of the Convent of Noble
Ladies at Itzeba (Holstein), whilst on a visit to her bro-
ther, the Landgrave of Hesse, in the domain of Platle,
was thrown from her horse, and had her right leg broken.
It was feared that amputation would become necessary.

In consequence of the dearth with which the Prussian
Rhenish provinces are afflicted, the King of Prussia has
ordered barges laden with corn and flour to be sent from
Treves up the Rhine, the Moselle, and the Sarre, and to
deliver supplies at every village. The inhabitants hating
a ticket from the magistrates are allowed to take as much
as they want, on engaging to return the same quantity
after the harvest.

The Palais Royal, so famous for years back, is now
every day losing favour with the public, and the numerous
passages in the neighbourhood threaten it with complete
decay ; 18 or 20 arcades are now to be let. 22 others are
occupied by the vendors of ready-made clothes ; and some
of the principal caf6s and restaurants, the goodwill of
which used to be worth 300,000 f., have been closed, be-
cause they did not clear their expenses.—Galignards
Messenger.
PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY.—The report of the
directors of this company, to be submitted to an adjourned
general meeting of the proprietors on the Bth instant,
states, that the expenditure to the 30th of June last
amounted to 44,000,000 francs, and that there remained
to be provided for, the interest of capital at 4 per cent. to
the 9th of May last, the accounts of the contractors for
the completion of the stati 'us, workshops, &c., the estab-
lishment of the depot for merchandise at the Batignolles,
the purchase of ground and material, and the reserve on
a portion of the contracts. To meet these demands the
directors had in the hands of their bankers 759.252 francs,
residue of loan gran'ed by the state 6,000,000 francs, and
the remainder of the guarantee fund 720.000 francs, snaking
a total 01 7,179.252 francs. The directors had the fullest
confidence that these resource would suffice, in which they
were borne out by the opinion or the engineer-in -chiet,
Mr. Locke. The traffic of the line, which commenced on
the 9th ot May, has given a r, suit up to the 30th of June
of 89.794 passengers, and a receipt of 616,374 francs.
This return must he considered as on the lowest scale,
since. properly speaking. they had as yet done nothing
but convey passengers, the carriage of parcels having
scarcely commenced, and that of merchandise not being
yet orgaulaed.
