Nota word later from Europe though we await
ing II with some impotence. To-day's Eastern Mail
came in late and twas supposed for while that il had
been detained at Boston for letters by the Steamship
but brought nothing You have already heard that
Mr.. CHoATE has been selected by the Wings in the
Massachusetts, Legislature for U s. Senator in place
of Mr.. Webster. The selection was made with re-
markable unanmity, Mr.. CHoArE having LAB TO 40
votes the first ballot in Convention.
The Albany Evening Journal received yesterday
brought the official announcement that FREDERICK A.
TALLMADGE had been confirmed by the Senate as Re
corder o! this City vice RopERr IA. MoRRs, removed
So that matter is settled.
The Loco Foco and semi Loco Foco papers of this
city keep up the on this removal and appoint
ment but with little unamimy of feeling represen
tation. The Erening Post and Neto Era denounce
the whole conduct Of the Governor and Senate with
exceeding fereciiy, but would rather talk about any
thing else than the official conduct OF Morris which
led to his removal The Journal Of Commerce assails
Mr. TALLMADoE with bitterness, but does not openly
defend MoRRs. The Herald (Bennett's) denounces
the removal Of MoaRIs, but rather defends Mr. TALL
MApoE. And the Sun is savage against both the re-
moval and appointment as so envenomed Loco oco
print would naturally be, but is rather shy oil inc
grounds of removal Au ofthem with one accord fiee
Attorney General Halls Report, as though it were
mad dog. Most of them have intimated that they
could answer very easy if chose, but they are careful
to attempt it, and that their readers shall not see a.
think however, it has had sedatiye effect, even
on them. The designs of running MoRRs for Mayor
is knocked in the head by it.
Bulwers Night and Morning, was published yes
terday by the Harpers. It is great novcihaIdly so
ambitious of its previous productions, and
quite deadly in its hostility to the FORMS observances,
starch proprees and exterior decences of society with
Paul Clifford itself II has good and bad tendencies
it would be hard to say which predominant.

You will have heard that Hon. JAcoB W. MULLER
of Morris county, has been elected a United States
Senator from New Jersey, for six years ensuing, in
place of Hon. Garret d. Wall Mr.. Miller, (ifl an
not mistaken in the man, is rather young man, but
most jealous, indeatigable public champion of the
Wing cause in the late campaign. Yours
