much out of water. though Mr., Chandler Judged
that the part which he saw of him at one time
was hundred feet IN length. He is described
as having the usual appearance of .'bunches' or
undulaticns upon his back, which all of his fGmi-

sudden quick movements it appeared as though
his excellency was now and then nabbne fish.

JACKSON DEFEAT. The annual town
meeting was holden yesterday at the Town
Hall and though the Jackson party have
been caucusing for long time past, so as
to muster all their strength, the Republican
party have triumphed with a great MAORI
ty! This election is something more than
common triumph, for the citizens of Port
land have been eye-witnesses of the Legis-
lature during the winter past, and have
seen the acts of the Jackson eight. The
jackson list with the exception of one indi-
vidual, includes the Selectmen Of last wear,
whose election the Argus announced as
the triumph of Jacksonism in Portland"
A year has passed Jackson has been in
power; and his followers dwindle down to
handful even at the head quarters Of the
Jnnto. Such has been the reaction among
US; and such, we believe, is the reaction all
over the State. Whole number of votes for
Selectmen, 1l02 Necessary for choice,

the highest on the Republican list 7O5.

WASHINGTON. March "a.


1t is the general belief here, that, soon
after the nominations have been all acted
on, the explosion in the Cabinet, which has
been so much talked of, and so long looked
for, will take place; and that portion of
the present cabinet will go out. 1t is pos
sible that the separation may yet he post
poned until the close of the session, but this
is uncertain. The best informed of our poll
tcians agree as TO the certainty of change;
although there is yet some doubt as to the
spirit in which it will he made, and the feel
ings and political effects which it will pro-
duce. There is belief that the result of
the election in New Hampshire has, beyond
a doubt, fixed Mr.. Woodbury. in the Cabi-
net, in the room, suppose, of the present
Secretary of the Navy. Should Isaac Hill
be rejected by the Senate as unworthy to
be Comptroller, it is, suppose, calculated
that the Legislature of New Hampshire will
adjudge him worthy to be their Senator
How far this calculation is correct, time
must prove.
All the Editorial nominations remain at
present untouched. But the Indian subject
is that TO which all eyes here are most ca
geriy directed, with painful interest. 1t
is believed that if the House should not act
upon that important question before another
ten days shall have expired, the Senate will
go into it.-.N. y. Commercial advertiser.
