TIE Recent RELIGIOUS ANMvERsARns-We
have devoted considerable space to the publicity Of
the anniversaries of the various religious societies
recently held throughout our city. Some of those
were highly interesting in their details, and all, no
doubt, except the Blasphemers, honest and philan-
thropic in their aim and in their end. There is a
vast amount of money laudably subscribed, and,
we presume, carefully expended in the promotion
OF the several benevolent Objects and we take it
for granted, that there is great amount of good
effected, in the shape of piety, morals, and good
feed. We have seen exhibited the beneficial results
of some of the institutions and have read the fla.
teripg details Of the reports of all. We annex ta-
bic of the receipts and expenditures Of few of the
ostprominent. BY these alone (and there are very
many more,) il will be seen, that upwards Of one
million and half dollars have been freely, gener-
ously, noby contributed for the fulflment of these

Washington, (scc our " Washington corcspondcncc)

The PRESIDENT AND CABINET ONE AND IvSI-
vIsIBLE.-From recent occurrences at Washing
ton, sometimes laughable, and sometmesl melan-
choly, we shall begin very soon-at least before
the next change of weather-to set down General
Taylor and the present cabinet as I" one and in
dvisible," for the whole 'of his term Of Office
Every thing looks in this direction The turning
out Of the recent editors Of the newspaper there,
which was originally started to be the organ of the
White House, though very ridiculous and petty
circumstance in itself, indicates the dete termination
Of the prcsont cabinet either TO retain their places
on their own terms, or 10 leave office in a BODY
and allow the old General TO geta new cabinet in
the beet way he could. The venerable chief could
not stand without them, and has accordingly sacr-
feed his editions .Hd retained his cabinet. Other
circumstances give strength and consistency 10 the
belief, that, no matter what Congress may think
or do, or what the ~hig party may feel, the pre-
sent cabinet IRE "one and indivisible" with the
President himself.
Well perhaps il is better 10 be relieved from any
state of uncertainty in these mighty matters
Though the cabinet, by their course and policy in
variety of foreign and domestic affairs, may run
down the popularity OF the President to low water
mark. and lii below, il is very certain, from the
| distribution Of office, the paymen, OF claims, and
the appropriations Of spoils, that they are deter
mined to make the most Of the time they remain in
Office, no matter how much the Treasury may suf-
fer, or the reputation Of the country sink. The
most dangerous thing, however, with which the
cabinet connected, is III. opposition there OPEN
y and secretly presented to the settlement OF the
slavery question now agi,ated in Congress. While
they are cmp,ying the Treasury, by the paynent
ofvcry doubtful claims, in which they themselves,
as the layorcr, nro participating, they are gradu-
ally aiding and assisting the movement, Of the al.
tras and the progress Of agitation that may be.
ccme very serious TO the peace and happiness of
! the country AT large.

fact Of its being very wet, and thick with briars.
The corpse was perfectly naked, but jeans coat
