WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

President Tyler and his family left tn
White House las: evening, never 10 re
turn. l saw Mrs Tyler on Sunday. Sh
looked sweetly. She has certainly i'm
proved in her appearance since she wa
married. MIR Tyler and family have re
moved 10 Fuller's Hotel, below the Treas
ury buildings, where they have laker
rooms, and where they will remain few
days, prior 10 their departure for thei
new home on James River. about twent,
five miles below Richmond. All seen

short, yet brilliant career at the White
House. The station she is now to occu.
py is that OF planters wife, with but few
neighbors, and those very distant. twill
be different 10 that to which she has been
accustomed. For The las, ten years she
has resided in this city, or has been trav-
cling in Europe.
Mrs Tyler is thought of and spoken Of
but her husband is, as the Western men
say, Of no account. When or how he
leaves, or whether he remains in the city,
Is VI UO lthpuItdLCc.
The President and his lady, it is is said
will take up their residence at The While
House tomorrow. Mrs Polk complains
bitterly of the condition of the White
House, and we'll she may-it is truly a
barn of place, and in a wrelched condi-
tion. | saw it The morning ater Elk.
President Van Buren, left it, and it remin.
ded me of the breaking up of hard win
ter the damask chairs, sofas and curtains,
were all stained and soilei. am told the
furniture looks now worse than ever.
Mr. Polk dresses no! only plain, bul
rather slovenIy. His clothes are badly
made, and sit awkwardly as though they
were made by country tailor not famil-
lar with The latest fashions; he wears a
large surtout, which reaches down 10 his
ANGLES. Mrs Polk on the contrary, over
dresses. AT church, particularly, she
would be remarked by the gaiety of her
dress. On Sunday, she wore a white
silk bonnet, white feathers, rich lace veil,
fashionable black velvet nan.ila, aud rich
colored silk dress. The President and
his lady have attended church but two
Sunday mornings-lhey sat in Mr. Ellis
worlh's pew. 1t is therefore given out
that he will attend the Presbyterian church
in -Four and .a-half street.
The Cabinet is made up. Mr. Buchan.
ans appointment to the office of Secretary
OF State, instead of Calhoun, occasioned
no surprise. 1t is astonishing to see what
ln,le ooice is taken of the idol of South
Carolina. Not man ia Washington
seems TO know that such an individual is
in existence. His friends have Sc, up no
claims or pretenslons on his account, but
have apparently submitted 10 the dignity
with "Chrlstan resignation" When he
is 10 leave for the South no one knows or
seems 10 care.
Senator Walker has insisted on his
rights; he was the maSer spirit al the
Baltimore Convention; by his eloquence
he sustained The ,woihlrd rule in that body
which defeated Van Buren,; he brough,
Polk forward, and obtained his nomina>
lion. OF being Secretary of the Treasury
he is therefore entitled 10 the honor; BE-.
sides he is poor and wants the place.
Judge Bib, the present incumbent, quits
with great reluctance. He has had but
a short career of glory.
MIR Polk when he came on, brought
his two editors with him, and il is suppos-
ed that new official would have made
its appearance, but Mr. Folks independ>
ence has melted away like snow before
he sun. Col. Benton will have no other
organ than he GIooe; consequently the
Two editors are walking about with their
fogers in their mouths,
Several OF his family friends who came
on with him, have found already that the
offices they wanted are disposed Of

They stand in groups on the avenue in
perfect wonder. Many oil them have been

10 present their claims; most of them are
out of money. and will be obliged 10 leave
