WASHINGTON, Saturday,


JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ. =
DEAR SIR,
The democratic members held caucus this
morning at the Capitol. The meeting was called
TO order by Mr.. Hopkins, of Va, and Charles J.
lngersoll, of Pa, was Observation-Disclosures. About
eighty members were present Hopkins, of Va,
and Brown, of Indiana were appointed secretaries
committee of five members Hopkins, of Va,
S,eenrod, of Va, Payne, of Alabama, Dunlap, OF
Maine, Strong, of New York, nearly as can
ascertainl was appointed to draw up set of rule.
for the government of future meetings They then
adjourned to meet this evening at eight O'Clock
The action had this morning was somewhat Of an
informal character, and perhaps rather conyen-
lion to feel the pulse relative TO caucus hereafter.
1t is pretty certain that Mr. Jones, of Va, will
be nominated and elected for Speaker. But it is
doubtful if Blair IL Rives are elected Printers.
The southern members are most decidedly opposed
TO their electon-and should they be forced upon
the party by the friends of Van Buren, breach in
the ranks, so far the President concerned
seems inevitable. The horoscope at this present
writing is altogether favorable TO Mr.. Bryant.
The Calhoun men insist upon the election of
Judge Sturgis, Of Georgia, for Clerk.
There is such multitude of opinions, and con-
lectures of every hue and character, that it is
hazardous risk any expression of opinion beyond
what have already stated. Yours, &c S.B.

Our FOREIGN RELATIoNs.-We see il stated in
some Of the Eastern papers, that on one occasion,
when Mr.. Macready visited the United States
Court in Boston, Judge Story stopped the proceed
Ings, came down from the bench, and cordially
saued the great vsiter, and entered into familiar
and friendly conversation with him on variety of
topics-on the theatre in particular This may be
considered as an aspect in which to view our TO-
reign relations. In this country, distinguished
foreigners have Jon all occasions, been treated with
great regard and attention. And this has had great
deal to do in the creation ofrendly feelings between
the two continents in spite of the letters ofthe Rev.
Sidney Smith and the refusal of Pennsylvania to
pay her debts When Fanny ksIer came here, She
as the greatest in her art received with enhu-
siasm and the homage of the whole people. She
was visited by all the fashionable people and invited
to their houses. Her career was continued tr-
umph, and the browning scene was that in which
she executed few of her most elegant prouettes
and laid the cap-stone of the famous Bunker Hill
Monument, thus uniting the poetry of motion and
the spirit of patriotism in graceful and compre
hensive act So it is with all the great foreign ar
lists Chit and Artot have been almost feted and
idolized since their arrival. So with Ole Bull-and
so with them all. There is only one unfortunate
exception against this reciprocity ,of good feeling
But we suppose that things have much altered in
London since that time. We allude to the recep-
ton given to Forrest and Hackett. We suppose,
however, we have just limited, that if they were
to visit London now, they would meet reception
more adequate to their merits. But there is no hope
of Sidney Smith-al this is lost upon him. His de-
mands still stick in his throat, and will stick there
for long time to come, according to all appearan-
ces from Pennsylvania. We are sorry for him. II
we could relieve him, we would cheerfuly. Would
praise and puffery do II so, we will clear his guet
for him instanter.

The democratic members held caucus last
evening ll3 members were present, n of whom

Speaker. All.the democratic cliques were present,
Calhoun men. Buchanan, Cass, Johnson and Tyler
men, No other business was transacted although
there was much talking.
Intense interest s now felt about the election OF
Printer. The nomination of Jones is thought to
look more favorable TO Bryant, who is looked
upon with less objection by the opponents of Van
Buren,. The Presidents friends reason thus The
election of Blair IL Rives ensures the nomination
Of Van Buren-Benton successor. This ensures
the election of Clay because the opposition of the
friends of the antl-Van Buren, candidates is so
strong that they will prefer TO have Clay president

Music AND THEATRIcAIs.-lt appears that Ole
Bull made his entree into Philadelphia under rather
singular circumstances. We clip the following
paragraph from the Gazette:-
OLE BULL PGpEsrRIAS.-Ole Bull the celebrated vio-

miles from Philadelphia, when Ole Bull, friend and

great vions laughed at the distance and set out foot
The cars got in hours ahead but Ole Bull was waited for
irving at the Depot, that American miles were much
longer than those Of the Old World for he had
travelled three such miles in his life.

will walk into the hearts, souls, feelings affections,

them by mile more than the Yankee three miles

Mr.. CALHoUN's PosITloS AND PROSPECTS,
cording TO the glvngs out of the different journals
in the confidence Of Mr. Calhoun, il really appears
TO us that this distinguished statesman is in very
fair way Of, in short time, eflectualy cutting his
throat. We don't mean this physically, but polti-
caly His political existence certainly appears to be
on the verge of that suicidal termination. Ii seems
that his friends preparing to make separate or
ganizaton at the Baltimore Convention, under the
belief that he has no chance there. Indeed il was
very foolish for any of his friends to have sup
posed that he had any chance there So, after
having given his countenance to the Convention for
three years past Mr.. Calhoun is now TO come out
at the end OF the day and attempt separate orga-
nzation, which must inevitably ruin all his future
prospects Pshaw! lie is merely repeating the
melancholy game which ruined, Crawford and him
self about twenty years ago. Mr. Crawford was
then the democratic candidate, and Mr. Calhoun
originated movement TO defeat him, which ended
in the ruin of both, bringing as it did, new and
successful competitors into the field. The present
state Of affairs precisely similar, and II Calhoun
persists in attempting to affect separate organiza-
ton, il does moi require great sagaclty or know
ledge Of party movements in this country, TO fore
see both Van Buren, and Calhoun endorsed. and
Mr. Clay quietly riding over the ground without a
rival.
This is the only explanation we can give of the
present prospects of Calhoun and we firmly believe
that the men who have charge of his interests IN
this region, are the most shortsghted and foolish
set of politicians, that ever attempted the not very
trlfiing OF easy work of organizing party. il re
quires experience, common sense, brains, genius,
to do that II does.
