We have nothing particularly new here to COM
r,,nn;;cate for the information Of your readers
think, however, that tomorrow we shall know
about the fate of Mr. Bancroft, and probably some
Of the Tyler office-holders.
There are some rare pieces OF iun ana iohy
smong the office seekers here. i was informed by
o. gentleman who knows the parties, that tour men
were seen in a liquor shop few days since drink
NO together, who all ayered that they had no kind
OF business here but TO witness the Inauguration
ceremonies. Half an hour afterwards these men
were exhibiting affidayts against each other chai
actc, and OF course IN favor OF eac ey he same
character. They all happened 70 Dc dilei 'e 'aiii'
The pickpockets too are busy here pushing their
claims 10 public favor and emoument. One OF the
hest things In their line which have hear !d OF
recently happened day or two since; AN oiiic :,
Seeker had arrived he city, with large pocket
hook full OF econnendatlontI from various
gentlemen of distinction In his nelghborhood Inns
WAS stolen from him by one OF the light fingered
gentry, no doubt under the impression that II con-
tained some money: mistake winch ought 10
have INN turned out of the craft. This was truly
ilcbing from the Office seeker his far name
when the thief stole the pocket book he took that
which did NOT enrich him, though it made his neigh
Dor poor indeed. The plckpocket may now turn
round and Trade OH OOIIoWSu SdPieoi'
This city is a great Political Lazar-house, now,
as il ever has been. The hotel keepers would DO
pretty well if all who come here could only succeed
in getting Offices. But many oil them must OF course
BE disappointed, there are many candidates ior
every Office in the gift of the Government. Those
who are disappointed have wasted their substance
in riotous living. They have treated every person
who could be at all supposed 10 have any influence
with the powers that be. They have built all ihelr
hopes ofpaying their expenses on the ofhces whlch
III, nd nnxx fh,su cannot
obtained The consequences are that their hotel
and liquor bills cannot be paid This has suggested
the idea to some benevolent persons OF founding
National Asylum for Office Seekers, where all
shall tarry till their hopes are either realized or
bighted. 1t could be supported by a per centage
from the profits OF the successful! candidates.
Another fire occurred in this city yesterday, IN
Misso,lri-ay near Fourth-and-h alt.st. but i was
got under without much difficulty Il occurred
IN the house adjoining that IN which Senators
and Woodbridge of Michigan have rooms. No
damage. however, was done except to the house In
which IL originated.
The National Theatre, which was burned lew
nights since, was fully insured the night before le
FIRE occurred. The Loco-Foco ball was thought
to be rather combuslible kind of occupant, and
the proprietor had it insured for that night. 1he
pslicy of insurance extended 'front.' II O'clock noon,
on Tuesday, till the same hour on "Wednesday :.

saved some of the poor families who lost every
thing by the FIRE. ltmaybe that they worked haro
also to save other houses but the boast IS that they
saved the Globe office-the poor peoples niue
buildings were not saved. The Globe returns
