supporter Of Gen. Jackson, whose ndminis,ra.

ton Of Home Industry. He was afterwards
a National Republican, and more recently a
strong and very efficient friend Of Gen. lIar
rison. Since General Harrison became Pre-
sideni, he has been first Comptroller Of the
Treasury. lie is said to be well qualified
for the station to which he has been called.
Judge Mclean is known through the coun.
try. lie was member Of Congress in 1916
from Ohio. In 1923 he was appointed Post,
master General by President Monroe, and re-
tained in that Office by Mr.. Adams. lie was
| appointed an Associate Justice Of the So.
preme Court by Gen. Jackson, to make room
for Mr.. Barry. Never was the Post Office
Department better managed than under Judge
McLean,and never more wofully mismanaged
than by Mr.. Barry, his successor.

sion, when several ministers took the usual
oaths, after which Mr.. Shaw Lefevre
was unanimously elected Speaker.
The principal news is the meeting of
Parliament-the Queens speech-the
amendment to the address by the Tories,
aud the defeat Of the Wings after four
nights debate by majority Of 81. The
Whig Ministry resigned, and the Queen
sent for Sir Robert Peel 10 form new

: fine ; the crops had materially improved I;
the harvest in the southern counties had
made great progress free wheat was
Cd. q bushel cheaper, and flour Is. a

! fore.
The harvest in France was very pro-
missing the rest Of the news from the

portnnt.
The money market is without any ma
terial change.
The repor. that MIR. Fox had been in
structed to demand his passports, in case

trial, is not confirmed. The tone Of
Lord Palmerston, in replying to some
questions propoundcd to him by mem
her OF Parliament. is all that could be
desired. Mr.. Webs'er's letter to MIR.
Fox appears to have had al excellent
effect.

This is sore day for New York. We thought
the cup of bitterness had been drained to the dreas
when the Bank by the board but this mornings
advces Of the prostration of the Bankrupt BILL proves
that in the lowest depths Of anticipated misery have
not yet reached the bottom. Oh, this accursed extra
session 1t is poor consolation to know that spoke
against it, against it, entreated that should not
be from the very first. felt instructive horror o
its perils perpexes, and pitfalls from the first. 1t
seems to me that the Treasury could somehow get
along till December and that the great would
then move on easier than now. Does any one ask
why? Can we not all see that the Opposition vote
against every thing we propose, for the sake
of bringing the session to nought and rendering it
odious At a regular session, those Of this State
would not dare oppose the Bankrupt, nor those of
Pennsylvania, the Land bill We should have been
stronger in the Senate and many of the Loco focos
within reach of instructions. Now-but it be
that Congress will break up without passing the
Bankrupt and Land bis} Will nothing be done for
the currency and the revenue? Then, tremendous
will be the retribution which will fall somewhere!
