up his abode at the engraving estab-

city.
On day during the absence Of
Neal he observed an impression Of a
bank note, upon one Of the press
boards in Meals printing room
He got into conversation with an
Ignorant German, who had been in
the employ Of Neal for three years.
and learning that he got but Sl3

Clarendon will replace Normandy as

the British Government will express
to the Cabinet at Washington in

at what has occurred, and will testify
in marked manner their disappro-

recourse to the board Of policy to

The Washington correspondent Of
the Louisville Democrat, writing I'M
der date of the 10Th ult., says:
1t is now certain that Fillmore is a
candidate for the Presidency, but the
triangular fight between Fillmore,
Webster and Scott can only inure
to the benefit Of the latter. The
friends of Mr. Fillmore Wand Mr..
Webster are recruitdd from the, same
class of wings, and thus that class Of
wings, the compro mise wings, are
now divided, and may be destroyed
i'll detail 1t is ais d stated that
Gen. Scott will come out with COM
promise letter, and that as soon as
that is done, the frien ds of Mr.. Fill
more will forgive him, and will omen
the doors of their church to him.
Thus endorsed, Gen. Scott will be no
lnconslderable candidate, and it will
take the strongest man in the Dem
ocratlc party, not merely strong with
the politicians, but with the people,
to beat him In oqf present posi-
ton, in sight.of such an enemy, we
might just as well lay aside that
ridiculous notion | haye heard so
often expressed here in Washington,
hat the Democratic PARTY can nomi-
nate any man it please S, I'D besure of
his election. We must have an avail
able man, and the very strongest
that can be put in the field.
The rumors about NIr. Webster's
leaving the cabinet are again revived,
but there is no found tion' for them.
They will use hinras long as they
can, and then abandb n him to his
own fate. Mr.. Webster and Mr..
