WIVES. Women should be acquainted
that no beauty has any charmes but the
inward one of the mind; and that grace
fitness in their manners is much more en-
gaging than that of their person; that
modesty and meekness are the true and
lasting ornaments; for she that has these
is qualified as she ought to be for the
management of family, for the educa-
ton of children, for an affection of her
husband, and submitting to prudent
way of living. These only are the
charmes that render wives amiable, and
give them vne best title to our respect.

was demijohn of whiskey, which was

The city is full of rumors concerning the
formation Of the new Cabinet. Among them the
most current are that Mr.. WEBSTER is to have
the Department of State, and that strenuous eff
forts are made for the retention OF Messrs. Ew-
ING and CoLLAMER in the Interior and Post Of
fee -... r.. ...
But the most difficult and delicate part of the
arrangement is, as to the Southern members of
the new Cabinet. Very few Southern men, we
understand, can be found who viii take Office
without some knowledge OF the policy of the
new President Messrs. BERREN, DAVIS n,
TooMBs, KING and THOMPSON, are spoken of for
the Departments of War and Navy. But diff
fculty as to the two Senators arises from the
that, if either were appointed to the
Cabinet his place would be filled by Demo-
crat. Judge ARTHUR HopKMs, of Alabama, is
spoken of as Attorney General. Governor
GRAHAM, of North Carolina, is also referred to
for the War or Navy Departments.
Others are spoken of quite confidently, but
their names are not yet out, and we are not now
Mt liberty to refer to them.

The Last Meeting Of the Late Cabinet.

The Last Meeting OF the Late Cabinet.
The following is from the New York Tribune
and appears to be semi-official The two dis
senting members are understood to be Mr.. John,
son and Mr.. Crawford
| TE EXECUTIVE AND NEw-MExIco.--As con-
siderable anxiety prevails in the, community for
authentic and exact information as TO the action
OF the Administration on the New-Mexican ques-
ton, we make the following statement:
| The Constitution of the State Of New-Mex-
leo was received at Washington on Sunday, and
| mt night a Cabinet meeting was held at the house
| of the Secretary of State. The President had
been confined to his bed since the 4th inst or
the meeting would have taken place at the
White House. A majority of the Cabinet man
ifested the determination to stand by New-Mex-
leo and her admission into the Union with her
prescribed boundaries, under all circumstances
and at all hazards. This determination may
create the necessity for slight reorganization
of the Cabinet, by the resignation of two of its
members. Gen. Taylor has undisguisedly given
his ultimatum to some Southern gentlemen who
have called upon him in anticipation of the State
of Texas marching troops into New Mexico to
enforce her jurisdiction over portions OF that
Territory. He will protect New-Mexico with
IoTce slOuiu III DecOHie HcceSSiTy, WITHOUT any
regard to Interior consequences. The military
posts in that vicinity will be strengthened, with
a view to such an emergency
The Courier and Enquirer of Yesterday has
the subjoined in relation to this matter:
''We learn also that considerable anxiety pre-
walls in Congress and in the community in conse-
quence of reports which are circulated Of dis
patches having been received, and new orders
having been issued, in regard to the difficulty
about the Texas boundary These statements, IRE
are assured, are entirely u'younded. No new in
strucuons and no express of any kind. have been
sent to Col. Munroe, nor does the President in
tend to issue any proclamation upon the subject
at present All the statements referred to are
manufactured for effect at Washington The pol
icy of the Administration has been determined
upon, but it will only be called into requisiton in
the event ola practical aggression upon the terri
tory Of New Mexico"
1t strikes us that rather practical aggression
was committed ON New Mexico when Major
Neighbors seized and organized the Ell Paso dis
trict as a part OF the State of Texas. There s
also an old maxim worth remembering which
teaches that an ounce of prevention is worth
pound Of cure.

WASHINGTON, July 3, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: Herewith ] enclose an extract
from letter received this morning from an Anne
rican Missionary in Hayti. The writer is a
" friend of the blacl; race" and his letter good
commentary upon the negro government of that
Island. ,.....
Two facts, which, even more than the great re-
duction of the produce of the Island, forcbly it,
lustrate the backward march of that government.
are that many Of the negroes have returned to the
African superstition of Fetirhes, worshipping
snakes and other idols; and that many American
negroes, who had immigrated thither, have begged
to be brought back to the United States as slaves,
rather than remain under the military despotism
Of Sonuque.
/ do not endorse the call, made in the annexed
letter for the interference Of the United States to
protect the Haytiens " from the outrage and bar
barity Of their (own) rulers;" but do believe it
to be the solemn duty Of every Christian man
and civilized government to prevent the massacre

Funeral of the Observation-Disclosures from Balti-

dent and the Compron,ise-The Railroad Receipts
The MARKETS., &c. a
Great anxiety Is manifested by our citizens to
learn the time and the arrangements made for the
funeral of the President on Saturday, as well as
the terms on which the Railroad will carry them to
Washington, to take part in the pageant. The
military are to be conveyed at one dollar per man
for the round trip, and / should not be surprised
if every company in the city should be repre-
scented, numbering from thousand to twelve hun
dred men. The Governor of Maryland with his
staff, and the officers of State will be in attend
ance, and also our Mayor and Council, with
thousand or more of our citizens in their civic ca
pacity. The cars from the North are also bring
ing goodly number from Philadelphia, New
York and Delaware.
The military of New York have resolved to
have sham funeral in that city on Saturday, in
honor of President Taylor, to move at the same
time as the procession is marching to the grave at
Washington, accompanied by minute guns and
the tolling of bells.
The New York Globe and the Evening Bulletin,
of Philadelphia, both take the ground that Presi-
dent Fillmore is in favor of the Compromise bill
before the Senate, and that it was his determine
ton to have given the casting vote in favor of the
bill in case of tie vote. A Buffalo Wing paper,
where he resided, however, assert that he was in
favor of General Taylor's plan. .1'.
We have here great variety of rumors relative
to the Cabinet, all of which award the Premier
