HE VAN RENSSELAER, SUITS DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE PEopLE.-We learn from the Albany Freeholder, of Wednesday, May IS, that Judge Hand has at last given his opinion in these important cases, viz: the
 People cs. Wm. P. Van Rensselaer, and
 others, and the People vs. Stephen Van Rensselaer,, and in both. cases has decided lin favor of the People, giving the defendants leave to amend within twenty days, with lthe payment of costs.

The funeral pageant will no doubt be imposing

The new cabinet has been the great topic of
conversation of the day. We hear the following
named -
Daniel Webster, or r. c. Winthrop, Secretary of
State
Meredith p. Gentry, of Tennessee, Secretary of
War.
Thomas Butler King, Secretary of the Navy.
Francis Granger, ct New York, Postmaster
General.
T. M T. McKennan, of Pennsylvania, Secretary

Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, Attorney General.
George Evans, of Maine, Secretary Of the
Treasury.
Other reports classify the arrangement different

safest conjecture.
Hon. John Bell has been seriously sick of dysen-
terry but is considered out of danger to-day.
There appears to be prevailing impression that
the COMPROMISE will now pass the Senate, that Mr..
Fillmore is favorable to il, and that many of the
advocates of Gen. Taylor's plan will come now to
the support of the Omnibus. Let us wait and see.
We are yet rather disposed to suspect that all that
Congress can do this session will be to pass the ar
preparations and adjourn. But let us wait and see
