WASHINGTON, March 20.
The New York appointments form the chief
and animating topic of discussion. There is
no doubt that President Pierce made them him
self, but the knowing ones think they see Mar
cy's management triumphant in the result, if
the trap holds fast. Dickinson and Dix are both
in Marcy's way, and want Stewards seat as
stepping stone to the Presidency.
lfthey accept the appointments, it bures them
out OF sight, and Marcy has clear field again.
Schell processes his satisfaction, but asseverntes
that he would yield to no other man. Rynders
and Hart are both appalled,. The Captain
swears Justify. Mike Walsh complains bitterly.
Dickinson's friends say that he is not foolish
enough to accept the gilded bait.
Dixs friends talk in the same strain 1t is
now believed that Dickinson will accept
O'Conner and Hillyer were confirmed on the
suggestion of Mr.. Butler, Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee, without reference, and not
because they were less Objectionable.
The appointment of Charles Brown as Coliec-
tor at Philadelphia is likely to cause a great row
in the camp. The Pennsylvania democracy are
much incensed. Every member of the State
Delegation, save two, are opposed to it, aud every
member of the Cabinet also.
A large bnd respectable delegation of Phila-
delphians formally protested to the President, on
Saturday, but it was all unavling. Brown was

known. Davis probably will be chosen for Col.

Hon. WILLARD FILLMORE, Washington. d. c..
The Presidents Private Secretary, Mr.. Sidney
Webster, proceeded to the Capitol to inform the
members of the Senate. unolfically that in con-
sequence of the event no further communicate
would be addressed to them during the day
Ere he arrived, however, the Senate had ad-
journed, on motion by Mr.. Seward, as mark
OF respect to the memory of the deceased. The
sorrow and sympathy thus manifested will, we
are sure, be shared by the whole country. not
less because Of the varied excelIencies of Mrs
Fillmore's character as wife, mother, and friend,
than because OF the affection which the dspen-
sation casts upon one who has been so recently
relieved from the service of the State.
'Observer," the Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer, in his letter of the Goth
inst thus aludes to Mr.. Fillmore:
