The dissatisfaction with the cabinet of General
Taylor is not only confined to democrats here and
abroad, but prevails extensively in the wing ranks,
as recent elections testify; and there seems to be
no redemption for the Executive but in the choice
of new advisory ministers Even this effected, it
will be impossible to recover the ground which the
friends of the President have lost within the last
six months.
We do not know what General Taylor will do
in the premises; but thing is certain-he will
either have to begin anew, or be cut off from the
elder branch of the wing party. The effort to
create Taylor republican party will end as has
the effort OF the native Americans, and the pre-
mier, who laid the cornerstone, will discover that

But storm is brewing in the West particularly.
and It's full force may soon be felt; Messrs Henry
Clay and John J. Crlttenden, although they seve-

and few choice friends, are much dissatisfied,

of the editors. They will not rest satisfied with
the manner in which Messrs. Gales Il Seaton have
been treated by the administration,
A rumor prevails, which seems to be generally
credited, that Mr.. Penrose, the Assistant Secrstary
of the Treasury, has resigned: Nothing is posi-
lively known to the for this step further
than that Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Meredith cannot
agree, and the former thinks it prudent to retire
before the latter shall be invited to abdlcate.
Not long since, man who was employed IN a
hotel at Saratoga neglected his wife, and bestowed
his favors upon laundress IN the same establish
ment This became apparent TO the wife, and,
after much entreaty, she induced her husband to
consent to seek employment this latitude, vainy
thinking that the supposed criminal intimacy would
thus be terminated. He placed her in the railroad
car, and then fingered behind to talk to his duci-
laundress and her adnlirer were in that city. So
it was IN New York, and all the way to Washing
ton But the wife supposed, when landed in this
metropolis, that the object OF her unhappness was
absent. The man obtained employment at Will
lard's, and succeeded in having the woman en-
gagged in the female department. The wife became
acquainted with this fact, ano, on complaint to the
proprietor, they were discharged. The woman
procured stopping place in the neighborhood Of
the railroad depot. The wife resolved to call
there, and calmly demonstrate with the woman
about her conduct. She was not at home but at
the time was seen walking with the lady's husband
towards the house, from the capitol grounds; The
lady stepped into store unperceived, and the wo-
man slipped into the side gate, and the man passed
up the avenue The wronged female obtained an
interview with the disturber of her peace, which
was not Of the most agreeable character. The
wife, IT is said (omttlng particularly, seized the
Adabela, and nghteously committed an assault
on her person. She complained to Justice Smith,
this morning, who, after minute inquiry into the
facts, refused to hold the Blanca to bail, and per-
mitted her to depart alone for the section OF coun
try where her heart had first been wounded by one
who was so vilanous 10 break his hymeneal
vows, leaving the illicit twain unmoestcd in Wash
inEton.
The name of the man is James Hart, an Irish
man. The woman who caused the alienation is
