rEhMENriNa.-For some time past tisere has been
an amusing fermentation among the locofosos, arising
principally from 'he appointment Of Mr.. Bieecker
ier Marshal and the disappointment of MaJsr Hop
H'ns. Mr. Van Buren, refused to appoint tine latter,
saying 10 the "butt-enders:" "gentlemen, ap.
pointed Eli Moore to please you-nOw | appoint Mr..
Blocker TO please Washington Irving and myself
While this tempest continues among the lecs'
focos IT is comparatively quiet among the wings; but
1t will soon break cut among them also For the
Offices this city, in the gilt of Governor Seward,
there are nearly 1000 applicants aud only 100 or loo
OF all kinds TO appoint. AS soon these appoint
ments are made, look out, the amanacks say for
storm aboat these days. II Governor Seward can
survive the crisis he stand thunder, Lightning
and rain. We want the gallant Governor to make
several dsappointmcnts. If he makes them, we will
carry him safe through the storm; if not, not.
CHANGES TN THE ALBANY kITcHEN.-Several
changes are about taking place in the Kitchen, at
Albany, of some importance. Bates Cooke is TO re-
sign the Office of Comptroller. He is right-he
was fit for it. John Spencer, "all.the-taents" Of
the Kitchen, while Thurlow Weed does all the wash
ing and securing, is to be made Comptroler-a very
excellent appointment too.
SMALL PorAroEs. Several of the penny papers
Seward > message, expected today. We doubt whe-
Their is worth pubishing-at all events it only
be species of small-very small potatoes. II it
be not better than his last message it is not worth
the paper AID ink.
QIj, JACK O'HAoG EsrY, who has been for several
years in search of an honest man down town, like
Japhet in search of father, has at last made the
discovery in the person of somebody called Wilson
Hunt T,clr Oh I,ceo
that he Immediately sent to silversmith, got a
silver tea urn, with gin in it, and presented it to
him New Years day. There arc many other
persons in Pearl street. and that ncghborhood, that
Jack intends to make similar present to- il they
will only paw their notes. Come along this way,
Jack O'Haggerty. You brought a bill against me
before Dear Dick Riker," for $780, which paid
in cash down the nail, py check on the Chemical
Bank. Wont you, honest Jack, present me with a
tea pot, tankard, pitcher! Do.
The VANDENHoFTs-ALPHA AVID OMEGA.-On
Monday night the Vandenhois, father and dau Inter,
appeared in the Hunchback, at the Park, and last
night again in the Stranger, and pair of greater
antipodes TO each other
The style of acting characterizing both these
artists, is quite peculiar. Mr.. vandenhof is ex-
tremely chastc, classical, and Discriminatory
fahuenhoH, Win mo- c Physica power anu inteheS-
tual energy than taste genius, quite the reverse
Of her fsther-he, aloha-she, omega. The Master
" alter Of yandenhof, is beautifully conceived and
chastely executcd-the JULIA of the daughter had
too little of the lady in STYLE manner and action, and
much of the chambermaid just set up for fash
ionabe lady. Mis- yandenhoii has a large quantity
Of certain kind Of talent, but il is raw, uneven and
crude. She reminds us of Miss Vose, actress
from Mobile who was called for her excessive
action and tempestuous style, the beautiful roarer
from the west, half steamboat, half alligator, with
bit Of the swapping turtle Miss yandenhof has
the raw material of fine actress, but she has muca
to learn before she be compared TO Miss Tree in
elegance of STYLE or Miss Kembe in classical pas
sion. She is too tempestuous.
