which Ee made part of it by his urgent re- comme1dations ample reasons for the most decided disapprobatiOn of his whole system of pohcy, and for the most determined op- position to it.
 GossrP.--A Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. speculates very knowingly, as he would have the public think, about the intentions of some of our public men. He assures the reader without justification that Mr. Cushing " will accept the Secretaryship of the Navy"-that there is the most friendly feeling between Mir. Webster and the President, and that Mir. w. will choose his own time for leaving the Ca binet-that Judge UpsheI would like to go to England or France, but will probably take MT. Webster's place, as Secretary of State all this may be true-but we believe every word of it is without authority. This writer then goes on to utter the following nonsense:
 "Mr. Clay will cease to be the candidate of the .Whig party us soon as it shall be as- certained that the State of New York is go. ing for the Democrats, and that the friends of Mf. Webster are opposed to him. But Mr. Clay, on retiring, will command sufii- cient influence to prevent Scott from being candidate; because he will not consent to play the same part towards him which he was made to play towards Gen. Harrison perhaps through the agency of Scott's friends, Under these circumstances, it be. comes a matter of consideration for the Whigs whether they had not better take up Gen. Coss, inasmuch as Gen. Cass cannot, from numerous reasons-among which will only mention two, viz: his ayowing himself Harrison man, and his deteTmtna- tion not to make any removals on succeed ing to the Presidency, expressed in recent letter to one of his friends-be the candidate of the Democratic party. Gen. Cass, will. in this case, be most formidable asPirant to the Presidency, and it is possible that Mir. Webster himself will go for him. More anop!''
 There is as much probability that the Wings will take MT. Van Buren as their candidate for the Presidency as that they will take Gen. Cass and the idea that Mr. Clay and his friends give so much impor- tance to the result of the New York State election at this time, (so remote from the Presidential electioD,) us that he will with. draw himself as candidate for Chief Ma gistrate at that election, or that his friends will consent to his taking that course, is ab. surd, too silly to be seriously repeated ex. cept by the Locofocos. If Mr. Clay cannot be elected the next President, no other Whig can. The late elections, although against us, settle nothing in regard to the Presidential election-nothing whatever-in proof of this we need only to refer to the defeat of the Whigs previous to the last Pre-. sidebtial election, when the Locos would not admit that we could get more than taoo States, and they thought that they were very liberal in allowing us SO much !!
 Ro,0 Gt the Bottom of the OceGn.-Two of the divers engaged in breaking up the wreck of the Royal George, quarrelled and fought at the bottom of the sea, a few days ago, for the honor of slinging up large timber to the surface, the quantity got by each diver be- ing carefully measured and registered in the book of operations. One of them in the scuffle, who was being hauled up, kicked the other on the head with his leaden.soled shoe, breaking the lens of his diving helmet, so that the water rushed in upon him, but was kept in check by the air from the pump on deck, which saved him from being drowned He was, however, nearly exausted when pull led up from the bottom. so that 1t was found necessary to send him to the hospital. wha'e he was recovarad in fa" UayS. The other diver, who was unconscious of the severe in- jury he had inflicted upon his competitor until they both came up, was very much grieved. A boxing duello, l2 fathoms down under the surface of the sea. is perhaps un- paralleled in the history of makind.
