NOMINATIONS FOR SHERIFF-ALL SORTS OF BAL
LoTINe-No RKsuLr.-The delegates to the Van
buren, County Convention 20 nominate candidates
Tor SherH, County Clerk, and Coroner, met last
evening at Tammany Hall, and the meeting was
periect, Godsend TO all the porter houses, oyster
Stands, beer shops, and pea nut factories in the
vicinity of the old wigwam. The smavity of
manner OF the various candidates for office,
was truly udicrous and amusing. The feeling
character of their enquiries after the health of the
delegates, and their wives and children, was fol-
lowed with still more endearng protestations of re-
gard and favors intended when abiding 10 their
own humble pretensions to the office they were de-
srous OF obtaining. Little knots of politicians of
the small beer and brandy and water order. were
seen assembling about old Tammany at dus1.
and long ere the hour of the meeting of
the Convention, the vicinity was peopled
with candidates and their friends, on the
sharp look out for every struggling delegate, who
had not been previously sounded. At about eight
O'Clock, the "Pewter Mug" Widow Lynch's, !"
Old Joe Murphy's," Little Tammany," "The
Hole in thesWall," and other places of resort began
to swarm with the overflow Of patriotism, rum and
gin cocktails and all was excitement awaiting the
result OF the first ballot of the delegates for the
office of Sheriff. Nine o'clock came, and still no
result. The consequence was that considerable
cursing and swearing, and grumblngs, like distant
thunder, was heard among those whose patience
was not of Jobke character; but time soon
brought the tidings of ga ballot,' =" aballot" and
all rushed to hear the result The "Pewter"

AMERICAN ATHENAEUM IN PARIs.-The American
residents in Paris have established Library and
Reading Room, under the above name, for the pur-
pose of afording an agreeable place of meeting fol
American citizens, and place where they may OBJ.
tain publications relating to their native land. The
Representative of the United States at the Court OF
France, with his consent is to be the President OF
the Association and the Consul OF the United States
at Paris, the Vice President, besides whom there
are three directors. The President at the present
time is Henry Leyard, Esq. Charge dAffairs of the
United States, and Vice PRESIDENT, Lorenzo Drape,
Esq U. s. Consul at Paris. Authors and publishers
OF valuable American works, by sending them to
this institution, may place them where they will
become more extensively known abroad, and al
the same time render service to the residents OF
visitors in Paris, and particularly to the members Of
the Association.

The WIG MEETINGS of the several wards to elect
delegates to nominate the several county officers
Tor the fall election were held last evening. There
was little excitement, and the only result worthy Of
note was that all the delegates chosen were consi-
dered to be friends of Henry Clay for the Presiden-
cy. The Wings will therefore nominate clean
Clay ticket for the fall election

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS IN CANApA.-It is
amusing to see the dignity which the little body
called the Parliament of the United Canadas, as
sumes. Their jurisdiction is limited to the local
matters of miserable colony-a kind of parish
meeting buslness-for they have not power to pass
an act OF any Importance without the permission of
the English government, and yet they could not
assume more airs If they were Congress of Kings
Theirtbsdizened door Ike epers, whose insolence is
co-equal with the ludicrous self-importance of the
parliamentary members, are doubtless designed to
aid the phantasy with which their election seems to
have possessed them, and all their proceedings par
take of mock-imitation-a sort of serious bur-
esgue OF the Imperial Parliament. BY the latest
reports which we have from the seat of govern
ment, we learn that they have been engaged, in
imitation OF the British Parliament, whose jurlsdic-
ton encircles the globe, in debate on the answer
to the address from the throne and trial of strength
of parties The minority on the address in the le-
gslative council, was precisely four, which makes
the affair still more ludicrous, while exhibits the
power OF the government over the members. If
they would dispense with high-sounding lily, and
return to common sense legislation, they might de-
their per diems, and benefit their constituents
1t is ntmated that dissolution of the Parliament
is to be asked fer, that an appeal may be
made to. the people on the seat of government
question, but with the exception of those imme-
diately interested by their proximity to the congre-
gated wisdom, the people generally have more re-
gard to the business transacted than to the place
where II may be done. Nevertheless, this question
threatens all sorts of evil influences on the peace of
the Province, and it will be made stalking horse
for aspiring politicians for some time 10 come

CuNARp STEAM SHIPs.-The new steamer build
ing for this line of packets will be ready to take her
station as regular boat early in the spring. under
the command of Capt Ryrie, now in the Acadia,
who will be succeeded in that ship, after another
voyage, by Captain Shannon, formerly CT the Co.
lumb a. The other boats will remain under the
command of their present gentlemanly comman-
ders, until further notice from this quarter. In
speaking of these beautiful steamers, cannot for
get Mr. Heatley, the polite steward of the Caledo-
MIA, the favorite in the line, and perfecta master
of his profession that of most experienced
can profit by taking few lessons frem him. The
most magnificent ship that ever foated would not
become popular unless her officers made her so
consequently nothing is so impor ant in equipping
the Atlantic steamers, where competition runs high,
as:gentlemanly officers in every department. The
Cunard line of steamships nearly perfect so far
as this necessary feature is concerned Although
there are instances of preference, in the individu
al named above, there is not an unpopular man
holding any important station on board. We trust
the line of French steamers will be equally as for
tunate in the selections made for their government
and control.

We have advices from Washington that the
Naval Committee of the Senate have decided in
favor of Gilbcr,'s Balance Dry Dock, which had
previously been approved by the Naval Committee
of the House, and she Naval Commission, headed
BY Com. Kennon. In pursuance of the nsuuc-
tons OF the Committee, Mr.. Williams moved in
the Senate on Tuesday to amend the Navy Appro-
priation bill, by applying the 100000 heretofore
appropriated for Dry Dock at this station to-
wards Building one of that kind.
We anticipated this decision, although our own
judgement inclined to the rival plan of the Sec
tional Dock for We felt that Congress would
naturally give great weight to the Report of the
Naval Commission Presenting that this may be
considered decision of the question, so far as the
present Congress ia concerned, now, as we
have often before done, express the hope that Con-
gress will go forward and make the needful Ap-
preparation. The wants of the Service and the
just claims of this Station ought no longer to be
postponed or disregarded.

BIZ Commander Mdcken-te.-If the object of
the bags had been the security of The prisoners, ii
would have been more necessary to have kept
them on when they were taken below, than when
they were on the quarterback. 1t was by the
Commanders order they were taken below, and
without their making any request for it. The bags
were not worn in the day time, excepting in bad
weather.
One of the bags here produced in Court
and its dimensions given as follows: six feet four
inches in circumference, and six feet four inches
in length. 1t was made of tarpaulin, which it was
very evident no water could penetrate, and mus,
have been a great addition to the comfort of the
prisoners.
By the Judge Aduocate.-The prisoners did
not wear the bags eight or ten days in the day
time.
