The Ne,o Appointments Officers Bonding Illness of
Chief Justice Ianey-Medical Dinner Stock
Board, &c.
BALTIMORE, April As p. m.
The new Collector of the port, and the Hostmas-
ter, ex Governor Thomas and Colonel Davies, have
b tn received their commissions, and the latter
returned his bond to Washington this morning for
approval. They will both enter upon their duties
on Monday next.
The influences brought to bear upon the Presi.
dent and Cabinet to have been of the queerest
character with regard to the Baltimore appoint
ments. The Hon. VIM. F. Giles, who formerly
represented Baltimore in Congress, wasan applicant
for the District Attorneyship, backed by the strong
est influences; but it has been given William
Meade Addison, who is almost wholly unknown to
the Democracy of the city. The appointment Of
Major Watkins to the Marshalshp pleases one hall
of the Dcmocr acy, and is very unpalatable to the
other half.
Chief Justice fancy has been dangerously i'll
but is now thought by his physicians to be improv-
ing. The United States circuit court commenced
its session to-day, but the Chief Justice cannot
possibly be present during the term.
A complimentary dinner is to be given at An
napolis to-day by the prominent members of the
medical profession of this State to the eminent
English physician DR.. Marshall Hall, who ia the
author of several standard medical works. The
Governor and members of the Legislature have
been invited TO attend.

most prominent. 1t occurs in the Dukes speech,
contrasting the court and the pastoral life

The substitution of "or' for Has,' places in the
simplest manner the meaning of the passage be.

much difference among the commentators, not one
of whom hit on this obvious solution.

We copied from the New York Euen;ng
Post paragraph explanatory of the aninsus

Post accounted for Mr.. PHELps's desire to

eye to the Speakershlp at the next session..

The number and respectablity of persons, in
every part of the country, who now manifest an
anxious desire to serve the Union, in Federal
offices, is truly gratifying. 1t shows the safety of
the country and the strength of the Union. The
prospect of disunion is remote, while that of CEN
tralization s improving Governors and ex- Gov
ernors and even the Judges and the Chief justices
OF States have been applicants for subordinate
Federal Offices, and some have obtained them
No State office, and not even any professional
position, is too high to be preferred to a Federal
offics.
Among all the recent nominations for Office,
few, presume, have been declined The New
York nominees have all accepted. do not know
OF single instance in which nomination has
been declined, except that of Colonel Polk, of
Maryland, who refused the surveyorship of Balti

the score of his independence-no other man in the
whole country having refused to take any thing he
could get.

chiefly, it is said, on account of the want of men,

much fuss about it, and after such prolonged and
frequently abortive efforts to get ii in readiness
The result of the expedition could not be iaiuri-

The character and influence of the eight Sena

Of an assurance that the reunion between the ma.

party is not to be considered as either cordial or
permanent At all events, it Is viewed with dis
trust by very sagacous and influential men of
the Democratic party.
The recent acts of the independent community

increased. 1t would seem, therefore, that. Mr..

TRAvEL.-We do not notice any diminution oil
travel over the railroad since the late unfortunate
accident. The number of passengers each way
continues about the same before that sad event.
The cars now pass through instead of over the
Pettibone tunnel, and consequently make better
time between Cumberland and Wheeling. In
creased caution is used in passing the heavy
grades; and, in our opinion, the route is a safer
one now than before the accident.
