as these bills were no. received by the

A late writer eloquently urges The return

The latest arrangement Tor the re-
construction Of Cabinet is tbis-Mr.
Buchanan is to retire from the State De-
par,ment before the end Of the session.
Mr.. Bancroft will leave the Navy De-
partment, and Air. Mason will change
mis- official position. Mr. McLane will
soon return from England and will not
90 back thhher. Mr.. King will also
return from Paris.
Now Mr. Buchanan will either be
made Judge, or he w,l be sent to Eng
land, just as he prciers. Mr.. Ban
croft, when he does leave the Depart
ment, will bo successor TO MIR. King,
and Mr.. Slidell of New Orleans will
succeed. Such are quotations from the
street at the close OF business to night,
and The Transactions, in the commodity
of rumors, have been unusually large.
This mny be promised, tha, whatever
change does take place will be for the
benefit Of South Carolina, since MIR.
Calhoun is undoubtedly again in the as
cendant. Now Mr.. Fillmore of Charles
ton is here, tho same who was last year
"flored the mission to England, and de-
clincd it.

DO called and chosen TO ill Mr.. Bu-
chanan's place in the Cabinet, If he
leaves it. | am bound to suspect that
The prey is to be divided, for there is
certainly thick gathering of the eagles.
There are Mr.. Ran,oul from down-East
n swarm of the lesser lights of the New
York Democracy, John M. Reed Of
Philadelphia, and from the great West
and the South numerous deputations Of
guonddm officials.
My own private opinion is that Mr..
Buchanan will soon leave for the bench,
and that he viii be succeeded by some
politician from the South, who is as like
ly to be Mr.. King. now Minister to
France, as anybody else. ] have rea-
son to suppose that Mr.. Bancroft will
remain where he is until he has put his
house in order, and that he will not 10
as long as he chooses TO stay.

slider very probable 1t is said that be-
fore any Of these changes in official ap-
pointments are made the President de-
sires To see his principal me easures car

of The tanT. the sub-Trcasury bill, aud
the warehousing system, so that, ac-
cording to this branch of the general

The Senate went into Executive session.
In the lloUsr, u personal explanation Of
an exciting character took place between
Nessrs. Stephens and Yancey, in which The
position Of Mr.. g. on certain subjects is al
uded to in manner offensive to him. The
Tariff bill reported from the CommAtce of
Ways and Means by Mr.. Seaborn Jones, was
opposed by Messrs. Mclean aud ErJnan Of
Pennsylvania, aud Mr. Young of Kentucky
oblained the floor, who gave way to motion
to take up the invalid pension bill. Mr..
Mckay moved to strike on, $1,000 providing
Tor pay Of pensions to the wounded on board
Of private armed vessels. Opposed by Mr..
King Of Mass. and Mr.. Holmes of s. c. The
committee rose for want of II quorum, and
the House adjourned.
In the SENATE, on Friday, June 10Th, the
'varehousing Bill was brough, forward snd
explained by Mr.. DIX, and then postponed

In the HOUSE, The Tariff was the subject
Of discussion. A motion by Mr.. Mckay 10

In the HOUSE, Saturday, June 20th the
discussion on the tariff bill in Committee Of

sion Of all other business.
