The New York Courier in noticing the
extensive preparations making IN the dock
Yards of England, saws .-"Beyoni all

The intelligence from New Hampshire Is
Of the mos, gratifying character. The
route Of lOcofoeaism is complete-nOt soil
tary Texas man being left in power within
the limits of the 'Granisea S;ale,' who
could possibly be reached by the represent
atives of the people! This is verify the
greatest miracle of the age. A man who,
year since, had predicted such a result.
would have been regarded as a fit subject
for Bedlam. Every other State in the Un-
ion has, now and then at least, given in her
adherence to the Wing cause. and been
greeted with enthusiastic shouts ON her join
ing the glorious sisterhood of Wing States.
But New Hampshire-far truer to "democ-
racy" than the needle ever was TO the mag
net-through all the political changes and
connections which took place in our country,
from the advent of Jacksonism to the An
nexation of Texas, neyereven for moment
wavered in her allegiance to party. So
steadfaSt and immovable did she seem, that
no one of any party thought of specializing
about the possibility of her deviating from
locofocoism; and many at distance were
ready to say, "She is joined to her idols,
let her alone" But even in the midst Of
continued and overwhelming defeat, her gal
liant Wings remained true their principles;
and who will not rejoice that their unwea-
ried efforts have at last been crowned with
SUGGEST All honor, too, to the Indepen-
dent Democrats, who, with JOHN P. HALE,

FROM WASHINGTON

On Thursday, the committee Of IkfsO,
gs ton made report fully er0nerdI5ng' Ia, :
Webster. 1t will be recollected, that the
charge was that Mr.. w. had, without the
knowledge of the President, applied the SER
vice money to his own use and was de-
faulter TO the fund. Ex-President Tyler, in
qhis testimo, y fully and amply exhonorates
Mr.: Webster in every particular; his recol-
lection was clear and distinct in regard to
every item of expenditure and what it was
for. He remembered and explained some
things creditable TO Mr.. Webster, which
escaped the latter's recollection.
A minority report was presented by 1,h
Brit kerhooff, who said that n1r. Ingersoll
had not been allowed to appear before the
Committee; but his statement was contra
dicted by Mr.. Vinton, who said that Mr.. /.
had not asked to appear, and was not refu-
sed. Both repc.ts were ordered to be prin-
ted.
The President has removed Gen. Gaines
from the command Of the Western Division
and ordered him to repair forthwith TO
Washington The cause of his removals.,
that he called for troops TO go 10 the Succor
of General Taylor, without any express Or
der from the President. 1t seems to us that
the exigencies of the case wanted immediate
action on the part Of the General. Jack
son certainly took far greater responsible
ties and was warmly commended for so do
ing.
Gen. SCOTT also has been ordered to re-
main in Washington for the present The
President seems resolved upon persevering
