tion and that he was not competent to its duties
My gentleman could hardly believe the evidence of
his own senses. He thought his Excellency must
be joking. But he ascertained that there was
more truth than poetry in the matter. And after
magnetizing three old women four little boys, and
black GIRL he went to the Governors house, and eat
enough to last him until your Charter election, and
started for New York. II he arrives safe, | wish
you would announce the fact, for the Governors
chef de cuisine is apprehensvc that the dinner will
be too much for him.
RCOl Webb has returned to Gotham, with diminish
ed ideas of his consequence too. He came up to pro-
the appointment of an uncle or aunt, or some
other relation, of the name of Averill, who lives
somewhere in Otsego county, to the Office OF Bank
Commis sioner But the Governor had been told
that Chandler Starr worker of miracles in
banks and finance generally, so the Colones friend
was disappointed. Master Webb then asked his
Excellency what he thought about appointing Mis-
thur OSareant to the Dutch mission The Cover
nor replied that he had thought of it at all Col
Webb then walked out of the Executive Chamber,
pulled the door with jerk, stuck his hippers in
his pocket went straight down to the Eagle Tavern,
took a sip of Mountain Dew, bought two segars,
and then took passage in the steamboat.
By-the-way, speaking OF the mission to Holland, a
new horse has entered for the plate, and bets are
making that he will win the race. refer to Mr. La

flaming wing speech yesterday. 1t was sensible,
manly vndcation of the credit system and if it had

After the American and Noah made fuss about
the appointment of Townsend of the Express,a State
Director of the Phenix Bank, the Governor put tn,
commits sion or notice, whatever it may be in hi
pocket, and contriving some mode TO have the
appointment rescnded, but Mr.. Brooks made his ap
pearance here yesterday morning. and the Governor
forked over the document.
You will recollect that the Senate passed a reso
luton ten days since, calling upon the Governor
| for information concerning the circumstances tina
rendered it necessary to call out the militia ant
send them to the Helderbergs. The report was sen
in this morning. 1t is very able document, ant
seems to me to furnish justification for every move
ment made by the Executive 1t is very well Il
throw ridicue over the great fuss and parade made
by some of the dandy officers, who were called into
service; but when the entire population Of village
containing fifteen hundred inhabitants, rise in oppo
sition to civil fierce, and peremporiy refuse to al
low the laws to be executed, it becomes a serious
matter, and the question must be treated in grave
and decorous manner.

House without any impeachment. 1t appears to b'
the determination efthe Van Buren, men to permit
the bill to become a law, with view of throwing tn,
responsibility on the Wings.
The bill for the reorganization of the Crimna
Courts Of your city is to be carried through tn
House next week. The matter settled in eau
Gus last night.
The Houses have done nothing today. The Cur
rency Bill still remains in sfafu quo.
