From tie National M,eligencer.

When we mentioned, the other day, the fact of
MIR. VAN BURENs being again a candidate for the
Presidency, we did not mean, of course that he
had volunteered his services, but that he was al
ready regarded by his political friends as cand-
date. 1t is several weeks since we heard of his
being actually nominated in Missouri for the Of
flee, under circumstances which induced the be-
lief that 1T was no unmeaning indication of the
design to place him before the People in due time
as the candidate of the party.
From the Philadelphia papers we now learn
that on Monday evening last meeting of the
friends of Mr.. VAN buren, in that city was held
and numerously attended. ''for the purpose of
adopting the necessary measures to place that
gentleman before the People as candidate at
the next Presidential election A resolution
was adopted "expressive OF the undiminished
confidence of the Democratic party in Mr.. VAN
buren, " but it was deemed inexpedient al so ear
ly a day to take any action to the next Presi-
dency. The decision was very sensible one,
In our opinion.
We learn from the Philadelphia Sentinel how
ever, that MIR. VAN buren, Will not be without
competitors from the ranks ofhis political friends.
"Commodore STEWARDS friends,'' says the SEN
tinel, ''are quite active; Mr.. BUcHAYAN has
'strong body of ardent supporters in Pennsyva-
mia; and General CAss has been named, in sew
'eral quarters, as candidate who would be very
acceptable TO the Democracy of the country
sOther candidates will doubtless he BROUGHT ont
'before the time arrives for making the nominal
lions"

The Norfolk Beacon Of the 18th, has the fol-
lowing notice ofthe manifestations of respcc, paid
to President TYLER by the public authorities of
that borough:
On Saturday at 10 o'clock the Corporate An
thontles of the Borough waited on the President
OF the United States, and were scveraly introdu-
ced to him by Miles King Esq, Mayor, on the
part OF the Court, and Il. II. ChamberaiDe.
President of the Council the part of that BODY,
and were received by the President in a verv
courteous and aitable manner. An invitation to
partake OF public dinner was then rendered to
the President, by the Mayor, on the part Of the
corporation, to be given any time the President
should appoint, which was politely declined on
account oil his public engagements and desire
10 return TO his post as soon as possible; but
promised should he have the pleasure of again
visiting Norfolk, to avail himself of the invita-
ton.
After the interview, the President, attended by
Com. MOTHS and suite, visited the PcEnsy lvania
and Cyane, at the Naval anchorage, and as re-
ceived with the usual honors. He then visited
the Navy ard, Dry Dock and Hospital, and
was afterwards escorted by the Volunteer COM
Panies of Portsmouth,, and Capt. Partridre's
corps OF Cadets, (the whole under command of
Capt. Ioung) TO the Crawford House, and par
took Ola handsome collation. which had been pre-
pared In honor Of the President. The Ports
month Volunteers then escorted him back 10
Norfolk where :hey,with the Norfolk Volunteers
were reviewed by tile President.
The President leaves here this morning for
Williamsburg, in the u. S. steamer Poinset,

[Fhe people Of Williamsburg honored the Pre-
sident's visit with a ball.

An important decision was made recently in
the Superior Court of Jefferson County Virein;a
which Ia thus noticed in the Charlestown Free
Press:
6. On Tuesday the long pending case of John
otriuef VS.. liefiiebower IL Co. was decided, in
which the plaintiff claimed several thousand dol.
lars damages for the destruction. by fire, of his
riour MIL on the Shenandoah River, in 1887.
whilst In the occupancy of the defendants as ten
anIs. The jury gave verdict for the plaintiff.
AN Important principle has been established by
,is namely, that the occupiers ofmiils, as
ien4"'s' must not only use due vigilance and care
IN 'Ie protection OF the mill from fire, by friction
of the machinery, but ii they cannot prore eo,clu
S,0cy the exercise Of such vigilance and care,

CROWDING THE PROFESSIONS

One of the ablest periodical writers of Great
Britain, speaking Of the ambition in that country
of adopting professional life of all kinds, and of
the rush, five may so call it, in,o the professions
OF "law, pliysic, and divinity" thus points the
minds eye to the general consequences, or some
Of them:
"But thousands have died of broken hearts in
these pursuits, thousands who would have been
happy behind the plough, opuleut behind the
counter; thousands in the desperate struggle of
thankless professions look upon the simplicity of
a life OF manual labor with perpetual envy and
thousands, by worse fate still, are driven to me-
cessiies which degrade the principles of honor
within them, accustom them TO hurnliang modes
OF obtaining subsistence, and make up,by admin
isteriDg to the vices Of society, the livelihood
which was refused to their legitimate exertions.'

TURNING THE TABLES.

The ladies have heretofore considered the pr
vilege Of suing for breaches Of promise in n,atri-
inonial engagements to be exclusively theirs, and
the sympathy which is always shown fordstres-
sed damseIs, whose hearts and hopes have been
broken together, has rather tended to confirm the
impression. it seems, however, that mems
hearts may be broken as well as maids, this i'm
portaBt fact having been recently discovered by a
Jury in Indiana, who sat in determination upon a
case in which DR.. S. 4. Fate, merchant, &C., Of
The town Of Huntington, Indiana, brought suit a.
gainst Mrs. LavaIly, ID widow lady, and laid
his damages at $4,000. Tie jury did what they
could towards healing the immedcable wounds
Of the doctor, and sootbed his Iacerated feelings
by administering to lis pocket $3.50 damages.--

COMING TO 1T.

The country may at once prepare itself for a
formal annunciation by President Tyler, of his in
tention of becoming candidate for the second
term. His organ, the Madisonian, has beer, from
the dissolution of the Cabinet, endeavorinn to
pave the way for such an annunciation, and every
now and then he drops hint which cannot be
misunderstood. In his last paper, in which he
denounces the premature action of the Wing par
ty In relation to the succession, he says:
Snow we are not disposed TO deny the right of
the Convention (the Syracuse Convention.) to
place any candidate before the People at this ear
ly period. But we doubt the expcdency of the
man9uvre and we deny their right to disfranchise
any other individual Nor is there any reason
way MIR. Tyler should not, at proper time, sub
nit MS administration, on its merits, to the
approval or disapproval of the country'
his is pretty plain, is it not! Can any one
who reads 1t doubt that, at the proper time ;" and
In spite Of his pledges to the contrary, Mr.. TYLER
VIII submit his administration on its own mer-
lis, by becoming candidate for second term.
and letting the People show their s'approval or
disapproval oihis course by voting for or against
him =!
But Mr.. Tyler and his organ think it premature
10 commence the scramble for the succession
at this time. Their plans are, doubtless, not sma-
tured.' Their bids for Loco Foco support have
not been, as yet sufficiently successful to warrant
formal enumeration, and they would have the
wing Party to calmly await their leisure and
convenience.
This is very reasonable, is it not? What
Wing will be so discourteous as 10 refuse TO NAV
into the hands Of Mr.. Tyler and his organ

MORE WAR STEAMERS.
Total,

The Army and Navy Chronicle states that in.
strucllons have been issued for building at our
Navy Yards the following vessels:
At Norfolk one of medium size, saw between
600 and 700 tons; and one of 300 TONS to be pro-
PEELED by Lit. Hunters paddle wheels. The en-
CINE for the latter is to be made at the Wasbino-
ton Navy Yard, where it is understood work
equal TO any in the country has been turned out
At Philadelphia, one of GOO tons, to be propelled
on Capt Stockton's plan and one of medium
size. At New York, one of medium size, Geo or
700 tons. The description of engines for the
medium steamers has not yet been determined
upon. The Commissioners Of the Navy have
opened correspondence with the most experien.
ced and scientific gentlemen in the country, as to
the best models, and have collected large -
mount of information upon the subject, which
will be increased by further communications be-
fore the time arrives for making decision. They
viii, by these means, have the aid of the best
experience the country can afford. Capt Stock
