chosen ComI,fToiler in the place of James Thomas, Esq fhc Senate have concurred in this appointment also-Mr, Thomas immediately after the vote in the House having signiGed to the Senate that he wished no ioAger to be considered candidate. Mr. Thomas has, we believe, been faithful public servant-and on this account we were sorry him displaced to make room for more rancorous politician--one toe who has become we fear too much identified with the Jackson faction at Har,lord who endeavoring to rule the state. f 1~
 s NP It is pretty generally understood that the two Virginia Senators Messrs. Farewell and Tyler, Mir. Smith of South Carolina, and Mir. Forsyth ofGeorga were the gentlemen oi the Jackson party who had the
 rmness and independence to vote against the noml- nation of Mr. Noah as Surveyor ofthe Port of New York-and the three former against the nomination of Kendall as Auditor. For this act of duty, they are abused without stint in the columns of those chase vehicles of detracton, the New-York Courier and Hartford Times. 4. .t...--
 Mir. Farewell has since obtained leave Of absence for the remainder of the scssiun; and Mir. Noah has gone on to Washington, for the purpose, it is said, of inducing the President 10 renomna,e him. In thn' event, and in the absence of Mcssrs. Tazewel and Smith, and supposng the rest of the Senate to remain nfus ln lHctt tUt1cE NOaCs "O uSSS'"" """'" upon the Vice President. How he would decide, may be conectured from the vote given for Kendall MethOdise COiLegp.-At n recent meeting ofthe New York Conference, in the city of New-York, resolu- .,on was passed locate the contemplated Methodist College at Mddletown, in this state. The New-Eng- land Conference will doubt second the measure, and preparations be forthwith made to have the nst ration 20 into operation. Tine citizens of Middletown, with d generosity worthy of all commendation have already subscribed % or 1000 dollars towards the foundation oi the college besides granting the build- ings erected for Capt. Parridge's Academy to its use Ii is suppoped that some portion of the College will commence operations within year.
 Mr. Jenks-Havng last week stated, on what was generally deemed good authority, that Samuel H. Jenks. Esu late editor of the Boston Bulletin. had received the appointment of Clerk in the Secretary of S,ae's oiice we now contradict the sta,ement on the authority of the National Journal. Mir. J. has re- ceived permanent appointment from that depart uent, nor from any other. r
 MdssachwsettsII is calculated that there are Jour hundred and fiy members elected 10 the next Gene raj Assembly from this state. What an army!
 Sunday Maiks.-The resolution some time since ot- fered by MT. Frelinghuysen in the U $. Senate, a- gainst the transportation of the mail the Sabbath, was lately called up and supported by the mover and opposed by Mir. Livingston, in powerful speeches. Mr Grandy moyed to lay the resolutions on the table, winch was carried by very great majority scarce voice being heard inlhe negative. So that this ques ton is pu, to rest that body. And so, say we, let
 remain at rest.
