=. Among the vislters at present az the scat
of Government, is th" venerable and distn-
guished Republican and Patriot, Albert

The INFLUENZA, from which so many
persons have suffered among US, has appa-
! rcntly prevailed, even with greater severity
at the South. At Washington, the custo-
mary succession Of visiting parties was al
most suspended for some wecks.--The
President had a slight attack Of the pre-
yailng disease, and mr.. Claya seveIer one.
Mr.. Gailard is said to be still dangerously
i'll. Mr.. Webster suffered also from the
disease, but not SO severely az to be detain-
ed from business, Judge Story WAS so i'll
as to be detained several days at Philadel-
.phia, but he was so far recovered as 10 pro-
coed to Washington and to take his seat
on the bench. We understand that this
disease has been very prevalent, and re-
markably fatal, among the slaves Of the
southern states. I'oS. Daily ADV.

nesday, the 1T inst 80 Students have al
