 Scarcely any th'ag Of consequence vas done in elthcr branch of Congress to-day--early adjourn msHts having Lken pi5ee on account Of the meeting and procession Tn honor ot the French revolution. People out of Washington may well suppose that the Mctropolitars are So full of sympathy that two or three expressions Is only was;age the Splgo' they must have Il running out of the bung hole on ! half dozen oecasions. But really such is not the case. This lust, that caine of day. was to repre- sen; ihe Upper Ten'-ihe aTistecracy in which ihe "rag-'ag and bob-taiI," were to have 50 lot, part, or matter, except to look on and wonder II was got np as every thing of the kind is got Up here Hnl'ss UNCLE SAa oOts the bill in rather heggIf- y iBaAber notwithstanding its aris' ocgatic paterH- ty.

 The TAYLOR men have not got oyer their grurn- bling al MT. CLAY s late letter The MeIEAx men are sympathliag N ith the TAYLOR men iu order 10 obtaiT their votes tor the Judge A late number of the Norfolk Va. heraid, a TAYLOR paper, has the folio" ing:
 We prrdict that MT. Clay will be the nominee ' f fA.av s. --sg.
 as an Independent candidate and thuugh he cannot reach the House of Representatives the popular de- monstrattohs ia his favor will place him foremost in the lis' aspiraus al The succeeding canvass and he Will De elected by the largest majority ever known
 That is onSoiation-TAYLoR "at the succ eeding canvass will be elected by thslsfgest majority ever known" But Gen. TAYLOR Is 10 be run as an n- , depend IL candidate. Such. believe will be the case, as declared by the Herald. Indications of that lact are apparent all through the Soah also an o' the opinion that Mf. CALHoUN will be am in denendent candidate. He is using the la'e negro affair in taIs city with much effect among southern members ol both parties. A majority ot the south ern whiss would rather see Mir. CALHoUS elected than Mir, CLAY; and for the ieasou that Mir CLAY has viciually set aside Gen. TAYLOR The impression begins 10 prevail pretty general y that Gen. Cass will be the nominee ol the demo- cratic cohNe hton, that rnec's this day four weeks though think it will depend good deal upon whether the two thrIs ruie be adopted by the con VentiOn. l thfhk the nomination viii much aepe nd upon te fate Of tIe treaty before the Mexican Com gross; aad that viii doubtless be known before the contention meets.
