PaRsIDENr FILLMoRE--HIs CABINET-THH PoPU-
LARITy OF HIS ApMINIsyRATIoN.-We repeat en-
phatcally what we said the other day, that the
measures of the present Administration more
generally approved and encounter less denuncia-
ton than those of any other administration that has
existed in this country within the last twenty six
years. Even the Democratic organs generally,
and almost universally, speak of the Administra-
ton with great respect. The Washington Union,
the central Locofoco organ, says: "The course of
President Fillmore has so far been generally COM
mended." Indeed, 80 far as we know, the Louis
vile Democrat is almost the only paper that has
spoken of the Administration with disrespect and
. vituperation.

SNAos.-Tbc Louisville Journal estimates the
snags between Cairo and New Orleans to amount
to at least six hundred. The number of steamboats,
passing daily by tho river is stated at fifteen or
twenty. and the value Of their cargoes and bulls
averaging forty thousand dollars each, making an
aggregate of SIX to eight hundred thousand dollars.
The crews and passengers would number thou

RHODE IsLAND SENAToR.-General James, the
newly elected Senator from Rhode Island, gave a
brilliant entertainment at his elegant mansion in
Providence on Tuesday evening, which was graced
by the presence of the governor several OF
the judiciary, and most of the members of the Legs
lature of the State, of all many well
known and influential citizens from various parts of
Rhode Island, who do not at present occupy official
positions. The occasion was one of unbounded good
feeling, all party asperities being merged in the
courteous desire to do honor to the who 10 the
choice of Rhode Island, through her Legislature, TO
the Senate Of the United States. We do not in
this paragraph to say word as to the influences
which produced the election of General James, but
we do say-on the highest authority-that while he
has generally acted, when acting at all, with the
Democratic party, he has refused his support to
their measures when BIO deemed them incompati-
bio with the true welfare of the country. He has,
in fact, never been party man, and, we under
stand, has not voted for some time past But he is
true on the question OF internal improvements, in
the sense contended for by our greatest statesmen
Mr. Webster and others; he is heartily in favor of
. tariff for the protection of American industry,
and, though he may not 60 quite 80 far as some for
tho extreme rate Of duties, he yet abominates the
suicidal policy of free trade, it is called. He Is
q friend to the Union, and Of the late Compromise
measures, and is, consequently, wholly averse TO
the fanatical spirit of incendary agitation now SO
rife in some quarters.-Bosfon Courier, 9Th.
