THE NEW CABiNET-THE REPRE-
 SENTATIVES OF THE UNION.

fry. and we express but the public sentiment of the nation when We say that the appoint ments will be received with the highest sat isiaeton They embrace men of eminent and acknowledged ability, of rare eZpef- ence, commanding integrity, and what IS nos less maleral, popularity not seeilonal' hul coextensive with the Union. h the eoaipe- siton of his cabinet, President Polk has shown himself emineudy the heconprehenslFe statesman Nearly every section oi the Union has is representative among his con- fdenlial advisers. While the President, whose eye.is 10 supervise the whole and to give efficiency to their movements, combines all, as the representative of the nation.
 The distribution of tie cabinet among the peculiar and varied interests of the country, will also be considered most fortunate. The East has hcr representative in the person ol the great hi storian Bancroft, whose profound literary. y.aoquirementsa and philosophical mind, have given him d reputation not only Fl A. merica but in Europe While the north has her chosen representative i'll the person Of Marcy. in whose practical sagacity, sound intelligence, and long-tried integrity, the Pe- culiar and tar-reaching interests of our in- dustrous millions repose all honorable eoa- fidence
 The Middle States have their representa- tive in the person of Buchanan; great III the Senate, even among the master minds of the nation, and who we doubt not, will efince in the new and enlarged sphere to which he F called, that he Is still the American states man. As he is to administer our foreign re lalions, his eminent reputation is fortunately not confined 10 his owH country, but has eX- tended among the foreign nations with which his duties will compel him 10 deal.
 The South have their representative in ihe person of the gifted NAsoS, whose knowl- edge of the law, high requirements and un- questioned integrity, render him the fitting law officer of the government.
 The southwest have representative ot tho highest ability and most indeaiigable appli- cation in ihe person of Walker, whose prom thence as the great leader of Texas anneXa- ton, has given him foothold in the popu- lar mind, which must De a5 lasting as the splendid acquisition with which Ii Is associ- ated.
 The West and Southwest have repre- sentative in the person of Cave Johnson, whose integrity is inferior to that of na pnb- lie man Ill this country, and whose devotion 10 business Is not less remarkable than the scrupulous honesty with which lie regards every official trust. Such men are rare, and though the whig papers have already com menced the work of detraction, we have the confidence that he will stand the most trying test of time
 Such is the cabinet of our President. l. Is worthy of him, of the nation, and of those compromises upon which our constitution has been founded, and which have given such wonderful growth aud expansion to our eonteaeacy. That is members will CO., operate cordially together, wo doubt not. In their foreign paliey, finn, vigorous, upright, and united, theY will present front towards even the haughliest foreign nations which will be the best guarantee of honorable and lasting peace; while in their domestic policy, no sectional policy will be pursued, but those enlarged views, so emphatically marked out in the inaugural of President Polk, when he reiterated the declaration, that in my "judg- ment, il is the duty of the government to ex- tend as far as il may be practicable to ao SO, by its revenue laws, and all other means with in iis power, fair and just protection to all the great interests of the whole Union, em bracing agriculture, manufactures, the me- chantc arts, commerce and nayigatioa.n
 Under the egis of our new administration, we indulge the hope that the honor of our country will be maintained bright tand uasal- lied-our national rights secured, and the iil- fiuence of our liberal institutions will he sill farther extended and strengthened over the multiplied kingdoms of Europe, while our people al home are pursuing path of indi- vidual happiness, advancement and prosperi- ".
 HORRIBLE DErRAylrY.-f -fhe Newark Post gives a remarkable account of the death of Mary Ann Watts who married Henry Greene and came to her death about week after bv poison administered by her husband On the fourth day after their marriage, Greene visited Hoosaek, in Rensselaer, county, in company with his wife, her brother, a Mr. Niles, and several ladies. Among the ladies was one to whom he had formerly paid his addresses, and who had rejected his overtures fer mar riage. On this occasion she made herself very agreeable 10 him, and ii is supposed that from this circumstance, he came to the con clusion that ii lis wife was out of the way, he might yet succeed with his former passion
 On the following day his wife complained of having taken cold and he gave her some pills which are now believed t, have con- tained poison. h less than two hours she begansto complain of being deadly sick and vomitted violently. \ physician was called, who left her two white powders, but insteal of giving her the medicine thus left, Greene gave her something white from spoon mixed with water and which has since been ascer- tained to be arsenic by the dregs Jeff ia the spoon. The powder which he should have given, he neglected to destroy, and the cir cumstance of the two powders being left after the medicine was known 10 have been ad- minisiered, was the first circumstance which awakened suspicion. Still, however, Mary Ann fingered, and 1t is believed that he con tinued 10 administer poisonous drugs in her nourishmeni up 10 the time of her death.
 It seems that on the third day of her illness she began to suspect het husband of foul play, and upraded him in mild and melting terms. She died on the third day. and her brother then openly declared his belief ia Greene's guilt and accused him ol the decd Great excitement was manifested at his exam ination, and the letter says that Ii least 1000 parsans v1,ara ,,rnro,, I,s ,uar t.gr,p,Sts,,
