Important from Washin gton--Retireme
ofMr. Northumberland Popular Movement
of the Administration the New York
Democracy.
We have just received highly important intelli-
gence from Washington, from such source we
think can be relied upon.
We are informed that, an the beginning OF May,
Mr.. Daniel Webster ,cM retire from the State De-
partment, and Immediately thereupon, new re-
organization will take place in the Cabinet Mr.
Webster has just signi6ed this intention to the
President and it probable that he will either take
the mission to London or that to Paris, there to
superintend grand movement of American diplo-
macy in Europe, having reference to all the nterna
tional questions between the two Commensurate
of search, right of visit, tariff, Oregon and State
debts. Mr. Spencer will remain at the head of the
Treasury Department, and through that powerful
channel endeavor to overthrow the influence of Mr.
Van Buren, IN New York. In few weeks great
changes will take place in the Custom House and
other departments here, from the top to the bottom
1t is also inimated that Secretary Upsher will take
the State Department, and Caleb Cushing the Navy,
hence the motives of the latter, recently declining
a reelection in Massachusetts,
This is great movement and will lead to curl
Gus results, and curious contest among the demo-
the Administration the contest between him
and Eek President Van Buren,, for the " democracy
OF New York }" will be one of the most Interesting
conflicts in party tactics and diplomacy that ever
took place They are both mighty men in their
way-and their fight will be "ae, Caesar aut Nulus,''
which being interpreted, MEANS " VERY much like
the Kilkenny cats"
EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE We see it stated that
upwards OF 100 600 emigrans from Europe may be
expected TO land upon shores during the ensuing
spring and summer. Last year, from the statistical
returns of the custom houses, we ascertained that
about 100000 persons arrived here from the old
world, and fully persuaded that at least $780,
600, will arrive during the coming year from Eng
land, Ireland, France, and Germany At the lowest
estimate, these persons will bring with them five
millions OF dollars, IN properly and money, the great
part in money. One-third of this immense tide
of emigration will probably settle here; another
third will roll to the FAR West, and the remainder
will settle in New Orleans and other southern ports.
A vast field of speculation and plumber is thus
opened up for agents, runners, and the hosts of
swindlers who crowd our docks, ready to pounce
upon their unfortunate victims they land, and
give them great accessons to their knowledge gra
It's in order that they may get hold of their property
In order TO prevent these swindlers and impostors
from thus robbing these strangers, some effective
measures should at once be adopted. Let public
meeting be called and an active and numerous
committee OF respectable and phanthropic men be
appointed, to devise appropriate measures for pro-
curing and dispensing the necessary information TO
these emigrants. vast amount OF suffering and
robbery would thus be prevented. We do hope that
this suggestion will be acted on. The necessity Of
