Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
ery, and those Which are being engraved for this
work are belicved to be superior TO any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced tho utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation His daguerreotypcs arc in TIE
highest sense the works OF at, glowing with tie soul

The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have

best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm

cravings themselves. The entire work will be on

Though, considering his venerable age, it was a
thing to be expected in the course of nature, we
were struck with sorrow on hearing yesterday of
the death Of the Hon. NATHANIEL SILsBEE, of Sa-
lem, Massachusetts, as long ago as in 1917 Mem
Der of the House of Representatives Of the United
States, and afterwards, for period Of nine years,
commencing with 1926, Senator of the United
States from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In early life he had been distinguished and pros
porous merchant, and ever during his long life,
joyed the respect and confidence of his immediate
feow-citizens, and of all who, in the course of his
service in Congress, had the pleasure to know him.
He was model Senator, (not to be an orator,) of
sterling patriotism, and the soundest judgment.
The same indeed may be said of him in every rela-
ton he held to his fellow-bengs Passing by his re-
lations of Citizen, Husband, Father, nobody has
better right than ave to declare how true Friend
he was.

SATURDAY, JULY 90, 1850.

Our readers will, by this time, doubtless be ex-
pecting to receive from us some nerences to the
Cabinet arrangements under the new Administra-
tion. Having nothing on that matter at present to
communicate to them, we allude to the subject only
for the purpose Of cautioning them against giving
credit to the rumors which the Telegraph indus
triously spreads from day to day-rumors continu-
ally contradicting, each other-of Cabinet Appoint
ments, either made or contemplated. We have rea-
son to suppose that no such appointments have yet
been made, and shall not fail to apprize readers
of them whenever they are announced.

A Letter from New Orleans states that our Gov
ernment has made a Treaty with Mexico to secure
the right Of transit by railroad across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, agreeably to the principles laid
down on that subject by President TAYLOR in his
annual message. The success of this negotiation
cannot fail to be gratifying to commercial men, and
indeed to all who look to the retention of our pos
sessions on the Pacific. AS an anclary measure
to the great canal by the way of Nicaragua, itmus
60 further towards binding together the Atlantic
and Pacific States than any thing which can be de-
vsed, except indeed that magnificent enterprise
itself, which is now taken under the joint protection
Of Great Britain and the United States, and will
before long be under the protection of all the mari
time States of the world. President Polk instruct
ed Mr.. TRIsT, when he sent him to negotiate the
treaty of Guadalupe, to offer five millions of dol
lars for the right Of transit at Tehuantepec.
Every benefit contemplated by that arrangement, if
our intelligence be true, has been secured by the
administration of President TAYLOR, without cost
ing the nation dollar; and we gain the additional
advantage of binding Mexico herself to protect the
work which is necessary to unite us with our Pa
ciic Territories. The benefits resulting to the
United States from the canal and railroad will be
incalculable; and through ages to come the name
of TAYLOR, who took the first steps towards
uniting all the nations of the world in an object SO
beneficial to all, will be remembered with gratitude
He has now passed to his account, and no fatery
can soothe the dull cold ear Of DEATH" but we
who supported him in life, gladly pay this feeble
tribute to his honored memory.

A despatch from New Orleans, dated the 18th

in relation to New Mexico. Meetings have been
held at San Antonio and on the battlefield OF San

the Governor of Texas to proclaim Santa Fe in a

may be soon expected in the United States. This
intelligence will be gratifying to good men in both
countries, inasmuch as it will remove the cloud
