GEN, PIERcE's CABINET.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
that to every inquiry about the new Cabinet,
the universal answer is, "Mr. Pierce keeps
his own secrets" Nothing seems to be
sure, except that Gen. Pierce is determined
not 70 "put new wine into old bottles."-
There will be no revival of the old Polk
Cabinet, til crefore; and no Presidential as
pirants among the Constitutional advisers
forming the new Administration.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Pierce
has not committed, himself to one term
President combinations are already form
ing for 1856, aud the friends ct the aspiring
candidates will no doubt endeavor to shape
the cabinet with 4 view to sustain their par
xicuiar friends; but Gea. Pierce will not be
caught in such trap. Yankee shrewdness
and sagacity will not easily be circumvented
by such transparent intrigue. In the strug-
gle for rewards, the denomination Of Gen
Pierce may become indispensable to the har-
moay of the party, and will soon become a
foregone conclusion. So gentlemen need
not be so hot footed after Office, after all.
GENEROUS DoNATIoN.-Dr. Smead of the
Citizens Bank, Cincinnati, has made an.
other donation of IS 900 to the "Society for

that gentleman, which is applied to the build
ing fund. The Treasurer Of the Society
says that the building is now completed snt
paid for, chiefly through the exertions and
liberalty of this gentleman, and has been
occupied for some time past by the smal
number eliminates whom the limited income
Of the Society has enabled the managers t.
admit.
They are now lSboring to procure an en-
dowmsnt frem other citizens, so as to b
able to fill the rooms Of the bull ing Will
those worthy of the charity.
