! We have had within the last week, some
 rumors of intended changes, and some stAtr-
 ments OfacfIial ones, in the Enbhc offices. Dr.
 Mayo, who was pm into the Patent Office on
 the dismissal Nf Mr. M'Iptyre, and was after
 wards dismissed himself has been again i,la.
 ced in that office. One0Ftw dismissals ha,o
 been made in the General Post Office, aud the l report is. that Collnel Gardner and some
 others are tO he removed i0s the course uf a
 few weeks. as soon as they have had sufficient 1 time allowed to make pp shfir accounts. It is
 said that I 2 OF 8 clerks are to g". A ruunOnr
 of more importance still that the Seeretary Of
 War is about tO be senl On A special mission, 1 Or perhaps as Minister t0 EogIand, and that
 Benton is to he assigned tO the superiutsn- dfuce of that Deparfmenf. Bnt as Colouel
 Benton has left the rity, have some daabts
 whether there is sufficient foundation in fact ! Rentop to the WAr.Dppafssnent wassid he as l inefficient as unpopular. :. His ctivalry is nut
 of the genuine schanl, t is not of the charac-
 ter which would suit the high minded men
 who hold military commissions. it is not of a
 cast 60 enhance the reputation of the profess l sion. He. like Castiereagh, would find the 1 seat one of thofns.
 We have little more news. The Webster stock is rising here, and his examination is 1 growing into matter of more importance than tt was.-U. s. Gaz. Goodridge RoJbery-Ihe robbery commit ted last week in WObHrn, on the person of Mir. Herriu, who was entrusted with a large sum of money by the Danville Bank, turns out to be Major Goodridge- A lfais-in other words, the gentleman robbed himself, hid the money somew here in Londonderry, and res- tored part oft to the President Ofthe Bank. About SlO,O00 were found. The robbed gen, tleman started with the President of the Bank. on Sunday evening. with the avowed intention Ofgetting this sum, which he stated was in the possession of an aceoMplice somewhere in Washington street, hut gave his friends ths slip, and has not since iIeen heard of. A re- ward of $500 has been offered for his appre- hension.
 Trouble in Michigan.-A dispute existing betwee this territory and Ohio. has giyen rise to serious cantentiou, which threatens bleodshed. The little territory is determired nat to be encrOached upon by the great state and its governor has accordingly issued proclamation. calling upon the inhabitants to turn out and stand ny their arms. Three brigades under Gen. Browp, are called into reqnisiion. The liiigious spirit of our coun. trymen, and ihe disposition to take the law into their own hands. are much to be d-plored.
 Origin ef Day 0nd Martins Biackiag.--AIr. was then. ass he npw is; beneiisknt and rhari- table in the extreme. One day soldier en- tered his shop, and stated that he had just landed from an expedition, and had long march before him to reach his regiment that his money was gone, and nothing but sickness, fatigue. and punishment awaited him, unless he could get lift on coach. The worthy barber presented him with guinea. when the grateful soldier exclaimed. "God bless you, sir, how can ever repay this ? Thave ndth- ing in this world, exccpt'-pulling dirty piece of paper out of his pocket, n recipe far blacking it is the best ever was seen; many half-guinea haze had for it from the off cers, and many bottles have Isold |; may you be able to get something for if. to repay this you have given to the poor soldier your kindness never can either repay or forget" Mir. Day. who was shrcwd man. inquired int" the truth of the story. tried the backing, and finding it good. commenced the manufac- ture and sale of it, and rea!lzed the fortune he now possesses; but we believe no one can say that he ever deceived or wronged huyEan being and his charities, particularly the aims houses near Edgewarc, will make him for a. ges to come, what he certainly always has been. q shining ch1rGcfer, and lesson to this and future generations of what industry can do in this wealthy and happy country. from the smallest beginnings.
