There has, however, been some few exceptions;
but they have been few and far between.
The OFFICE on UNITED STATES MARsHAL.-This
important post has changed hands. Mr.. Waddell,
who has ably filed the duties thereof during the
last eight years, laid aside his baton on Monday
morning, and was succeeded by Anthony J. Blocker
a geEtleman well known and respected in this city,
as gentleman, man Of business, and " butt.

Mr.. Van Buren, has made Of late-and although it
has given mortal offence to the "buttenders il has
gratifed the people at large.

pass without testfying deep regret at the loss

and readiness to accommodate only the public
whom he is bound 70 serve, but the press,--whom

employers, the people, and therefore felt himself
bound to afford them every facility for the acouisi-
ton If any information which might come to his de.
partment. The archives and records of his Office
were ever open To ms at all seasonable hours, and
the thanks Of ourselves and are emf
