| Gent enen: The recent revolution in France,
connected with the deeply interesting crisis in
European affairs, continues to be the engrossing
theme Of interest here. The arrival of the Cal

most remote part of this Union, is most true. So
great the anxiety to hear, that it was ger r

could set it up in type. The doubts, which had
existed in the minds Of all men who had at heart
the welfare Of their race now gave way TO arde I
hope that this sudden transition from Monarchy
to Republican, might be lasting and complete,
without repetition Of the excuses which were to
be feared. We have to this hour no regular
arrival Of the Caledonia, although it is more
than four days since the Telegraph report was
circula ted here. The necessary brcvity of that
report does not afford sufficient particulars to
enable just Judgment to be formed of the pro-
bable effect Of the French movement on the diff
ferent nations in Europe; is it to be expec-
ted that these effects will be fully developed for
time to come. But enough is known to

one that whether fer veal or for woe "Me end is

one Of The orators of the day.
The Clay meeting on Tuesday evening was
large and enthusiastically hes, feeling prevailed,
notwithstanding the efforts that made 10
the contrary. Most Of the leading wings who
figured rather conspicuously at the recent Tay-
lor demonst rat ions here, seem 10 have abandoned
the inc onstancy Of their ways and returned full
Of ardour, of hope and Of faith. to the object Of
their "first choice and best affections.
With some three or four thousand others
went up to Lithenburgs' Shpyard, in Fulton, a
few days since to witness the launch Of the large
and beautiful ship "Minnessota."
Soon after the appointed hour her fastenings
were removed and she very deliberately, and
without the least occasion to mar the beauty OF
the scene, gided to the elements Tor winch she
was destined, amidst the spontaneous huzzas oil a
large number OH board, well as the thousands
that thronged the neighboring steamboats, and
the shore. This is a noble vessel Of 1000 tons
burden. and the design was to have loaded her at
this landing entire, direct for Liverpool. But
owing to the moderate stage Of water, with a de-
clning river, it was only partially done, and the
balance of her cargo will be received at New Or
leans. This is the third seafaring vessel that
has left this city within a fortnight, all of which
would have received their freight here direct for
foreign ports, had it not been for the difficulty
of getting over the Falls at Louisville.
Spring after several premature efforts, seems
now to have fairly set in. The peach trees are
in full bloom, and vegetation is to be seen start
ing out wherever the absence of brick and mortar
affords it the least chance. We still have fresh
shad direct from chesapeake, brought in large
ce chests, which sell very freely at IS cts each
They are shad and no mistake, and considering
the distance they have travelled since taken from
their native elements, they are remarkably fresh
shad but cannot agree with the worthy pro-
jectors of this enterprise that they arc just as
good as those eaten on the banks nf the an ORTIZ
east Ihave tried both and must confess there
is, to my taste a slight difference in favor Of the
latter. Our own western waters afford fish in
the shape of bass and salmon, with which our
markets have been most abundantly supplied for
a few days past, and at safatle rates. which are
much superior to these far-fetched Shad.
There i. another salt water luxury that have
recently noticed selling here in a rather novel
way. l mean Oysters. These are opened from
the she'll on the of the streets and sold at
10 cents plate of dozen. They are good and
as chea P they sold in any of the sea ports.
Green cucumber have made their appearance
in market sometime since. They sell at 2Oa25
cents each.
We have no Eastern dispatch to-day by Tele-
graph. The Pittsburgh dispatch gives as the
reason that some thirty of the poles east of that
place had bee n desfroy>d by FIRE. The last acci-
dent one would suppose Likely to befall the Tele-
graph.
We have Orleans dates to the 25th. No quo
table change in the markets. Yours, II.
WIG NoMISATIoN.-We have not re-
ceived full returns from the nominating e.
lection. but we suppose Messrs. Commons.
