Considerable progress was made yesterday by

pleted their city and county ticket, which is as
follows -
Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, Thomas Doyle
Auditor, VIM. Clothier Coroner, Barnet Cohen
Recorder of Deeds Samuel c. Thompson; Pro-
thonotary OF the Common Pleas, John J. N Doug.

Lewis G. Levin has been nominated for re-elec
ton the first Congressional distinct, by the Ma
I've Americans. The democratic and Taylor and
Fillmore conventions, Tor this district met, but
did not proceed 10 nominate. Col. Thomas b.
Florence will probably be the democratic can
didate, and most likely be elected, from the DIS
sentons among the opposing factions. The great
majority OF the wings will not support Levin, and
the natives generally are also dissatisfied.
The Taylor and Fillmore men have omlnated
Henry ID. Moore in the third, and John S. Llttell,
IL the fourth Congressional districts The demo-
Gratis OF the third district have selected William
S Nalowe as their candidate for Congress. The
democratic candidates In the fourth district, are
ChaIlss ] olDgersoll, John Robbins, jr, VIM i.
Small, Hugh Clark, Thomas S. Fernon, and A. p.
Eyre.
Henry ID Moore, the Congressional nominee
the Taylor and Fillmore men in the third district
is ayoung man OF fine abilities a native of New
York, who, during residence Of five years among
us, has won many friends by his manly, resolute
department.. II elected, he will doubtless do honor
10 the position and the district he will represent
John Jeffnes, butcher, residing IN Brown

The Liberia packet sails tomorrow morning,
from this port, for Liberia, with large number
of emigrants, most OF whom are free persons,
principally from Washington city, who have come
forward voluntarily. The number going out, in
GLIDING passengers, will be about one hundred.
The steamship Isabel left her moonngs last
night, for Norfolk, and moved off in gallant style
She walks through smooth water swlfter than any
steamer have ever had IN these waters, and
will doubtless prove equally swift at sea, when
loaded, as her wheels will then take stronger
hold on the water. She will be coppered in the
government dock at Norfolk, and return to Baltl-
more on Monday The steamer is built on an entire
new model, with her cross beams the upper deck;
and II Is the general opinion OF nautical men that
she would have been unrivalled in speed had
she been supplied with an engine of about 700
horse power, instead of 500 horse. However
tbs the opinion of some that her power is all
sufficient.

reward of 800 is offered for the finding Of the
