The democratic Senators held caucus this NOR.
ming, to determine on their action relative 10 the
nomination of Mr.. Bancroft, in time for their next
sitting on Monday. Their determination has not
yet leaked out. In the meantime, there are all
sorts OF rumors a1oat, and other of oppcsi-
ton are being suggested. One of them is, that Mr..
Bancroft went to Tennessee after the presidential
election, and that his selection is supposed have
been arranged there, with the concurrence and ad-
vice of Andrew Jackson, who wished thereby TO
secure the good will Of Mr.. Bancroft to insure a
full and good history OF his administration of the
affairs of the country 1t is said, too, that the
Jackson influence will prevail in this administra-
on, and great anxiety Is exhibited by all the poll
ticians.
Prosper M. Wetmore, whose nomination for
Navy agent at New York by Captain Tyler, fell
through in the Senate, has come on here to look
after denomination for the same berth; but it is
not very probable he will get it.
MIR. Polk Is said to have adopted prin-
cipe OF action IN relation to his admins

dispense with the aid of any kitchen ca
binet, and prevent the members of any such

fore. II is well known that General Jackson and
Mr.. Tyler were very much in the habit Of acting
per Sc, without any consultation with their cabinets
ON matters too of great Importance. This gave
power and influence TO the clique or kitchen cabi

Commodore Elliott had his pocket picked at II e
White House on Inauguration day The thief de-,
prived him of his pocket book, which contained
very highly. One was letter from Gen. jackson,
congralulating him on his restoration to his posi-.
ton in the service-praising Young Hickory-and
predicting most popular administration under his
auspices-and also containing lock of the old
Generals hair, as a nemento for the Commodore.
Another was letter from Mrs. Madison enclosing a
lock of Mr. Madison's hair and there were several
others. the old Commodore says the thief may
keep all the money the wallet contained, and be
perfectly welcome, If he will but return the relics,
which he prizes so highly.
