FRIDAY MORNING., AFRlII %3, 1851.
pAmong those who figured at the Jefferson Dim
ner, was Isaac Hill. His rejection and the dinner
took place on the same day. In auson to his dis
comfiture, Isaac gave toast which we are told is
from Job: Democracy: s'Wherefore do take my

trust Isaac.
GrSpeculations and rumors again assert that the
Cabinet will be ren,odelled at the close Of the pre-
sent session of Congress 1t is coniecured that Mr.
McLane, Inow at Londonl will change places with
Mr.. Ingham, Secretary of the Treasury-and tina,
Mr.. Branch will insist upon resigning. he has
once certainly offered to do; in which event he viii
be succeeded, it is supposed, by Mr.. Woodbury. OF
Mr. Poinsett
Messrs. Branch and Ingham the only heads o.
Departments in the interest of Mr.. Calhoun. They
will ''be let down the wind" for Van Buerenites.-
Why is Virginia overlooked Has Mr.. Tazewel
no. claims as high w oodburys For the first time
Virginia is unrepresented in the Executive Depart
ment. She must declare for Van Buren, and then
the case will be altered. Meanwhile she can live
upon the compliments paid her at the dinner.

There is terrible scramble here for vacant places

and Noah will share the merited fate of Ell-their

port on Kendall's case, which is in the hands of
committee of the Senate, is every day looked for
with more than ordinary anxiety, it is expected to
disclose certain transactions with higher function
airy of the Government, of rather an extraordinary
character.
