Reconstruction OF the Cabinet-The Vacant
iJudgeship.
The vacancy created in the United States SUI
preme Court viii probably cause partial recon
struction of the cabinet.
We have heard of great many aspiring names
mentioned in connection with the vacancy on the
Bench, but, according to the best advices from
Washington, the President is more inclined to
nominate John c. Spencer than any other man.
1t is true we have heard the names of Judge Kent
Mr.. Wood, Hiram Ketchum, VIM. l. Marcy,
Judge Savage, Ohm Sergeant and Jonathan Doc
little OF Connecticut all named, but according TO
views of the matter none OF them have any
chance. Judge Kent, we believe, is entirely out
of the question, not having large or liberal enough
mind for the seat. Hiram Ketchum, though back
ed by Daniel Webster and his highly respectable
tail, is in worse dilemma All the others are
considered as nothing at all.
John G. Spencer, therefore, in spite of his
casiona bursts of Ill temper, and his singular fits
of crooked policy, has the greatest intellect and
the best chance of getting the nomination, but we
would advise him not to resign the Treasury till
he be sure Of the bench, otherwise he may lose
both. Neither the United States Senate we
think highly OF him as we once did, and both
have good reasons for so doing.
Thus far, the Bench-now how is the Cabinet TO
be filed Some talk of transferring Mr.. Henshaw
from the Navy to the Treasury, This will hardly
do The best transfer would be to put him back to
the drug shop from whence he originally emerged.
His connection with the famous Commonwealth
Bank of Boston is not explained all those
Boston democrats are the verest spolls hunters in
existence. They were body and soul for Van Blu
rem, when he had Office to give-they for Mr.
Tyler for the same teason, and would be for the
devil if he had public funds to deposit in their
banks or public Offices to give away. We believe
that John Tyler has had enough of these renegade
Van Buren, politicians.
II the Treasury be made vacant by the transfer
ofJohn Spencer let the President fill it with some
honorable capable man, not politician by profess
sion but an honest and pure friend of his admnstra
sion. If Albert Galatin not DID, he would
be good choice. Some talk of G. C.verplanck, of
minded man, and has been very much overrated.
II the President wants honest and capable Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, why not considerthe name
of James 5. Green, of Princeton, New Jersey
He is an upright and capable man, and is far aloof
from all the tricks of scurvy politicians.

CoNGREss-WoRsE AND WoRsE.-The last Con-
gless generally called the Koonskn Kongress-was
supposed to have sunk themselves to the lowest
point of usefulness by theirrows, scenes, folly and
neglect of the public business. According to APP
pearances, the present body will far surpass that
concern in these peculiar characteristics.
LATEST News FOR EURoPE.-The Boston boat
did not leave here till O'clock yesterday morning
We, therefore, sent Sunday Herald to all our
subscribers aud agents throughout Europe. No pa
per so late as this went from this city.
ITALIAN OrERA--ALI. ABAcK-ALI AFoRE.-Thc
announcement of opera at the Park rather too
great an imitation of Simpson Il Co.'s currency
and consequently burst itself. Palmo is engulphed
altogether in bricks and mortar, opera singers,
opera managers and opera ciiqncs. II will be
amusing to which end he comes out foremost
II IS quite speculation, head tail, though from
appearances we rather incline to think the latter
II the public are to help TO finish the theatre by
subscribing to the opera, such names as Anogninl
De Begins, CASTELAR,, Majocch Sutton Vaellina,
Borghese and Perozz should be Immediately exhibit
tedo the public engaged. Not apart, but ALL all,
all--and the great artistic Rapetti as leader The
theatre win remain where it is if this is not done
Let Palmo to this ifhc wants to succeed
Our own belief is that the whole attempt will be
wrecked altogether. The intrigues of vocalsts-
the ealousles of singers-the want of common
sense among all parties-will disgust the public
that when they do begin, they will fall still-born
from the stage. These little miserable ciiques OF
blockheads critics, fools and intrguers, spoil every
thing and spoil themselves in the end. The spirit
that raised in this community by the apparitions
of Ole Bull, and others, will soon disappear if some
thing definite is not decided upon. Do, Signor
Palmo, stir your stumps. Your way is as clear as
"a sunbeam the road to Jericho. Come, move
New YEARS CALLs.-Anthony Barclay, Esq.
British Consul, will receive calls at his residence,
