THE CABINEr-Nothing is yet definitely
known as to the composition of Gen. PIERcE's
Cabinet. Rumors have been rife and contradicto-
~ during the last week. There seems to be very
little reason to doubt, however, that CALEB
CUSHING is to be Secretary of State. This ap-
poirtment is received with bad grace by the De-
mocraey generally. The Washington correspon-
dent of the n. Y. Tribune, says
am satisfied from the feeling on the subject Of
Cushinc's appointment manifested by the old IL
ners, that if Gen. Pierce comes here determined to
make him Secretary of State,he will be compelled
to change that purpose, unless willing to enter up
on the administration of the Government, satisfied
from the start that he has Invested himself of the
confidence and sympathy of nine-tenths Of those
upon whom be must rely for support who may not
be bought by giving up to them the Treasury Of
the Uaicd States to be pluudered directly Or indl-
rectay.

AIRLINE PosT-RAIuRoAD.-Alr. Doty, Of
Wisconsin, has given notice, in the House OF Re-
representatives., of his intention to introduce bill
for the establishment of an airline post-road from
Washington city, via Baltimore and Philadelphia,
to the city of New York. The bill proposes that
the Postmaster General shall cause the route to be
surveyed and railway constructed thereon; the
work to be done under the superintendent Of the
typographical engineers Of the army. 1t proposes
also to compensate the owners of land over which
the road may pass agreeably to the laws of their
respective States and that, when the road is fin
ished it shall be leased, from time to time,to such
responsible persons as shall agree to stock it with
cars, engines, &c., for public travel the lessees
to keep thcroad in repair and carry the mails over
it gratuitously. The Appropriation proposed to
commence the work is S500,000
The origin of this projo,t is to be foual in the
dissatisfaction of the travelling public, arising from
the irregularities high rates and unaecomnodating
spirit of the New Jersey monopoly, and also from
the odous capitation tax levied by the State of
Maryland on all travellers between Baltimore and
Washington. An .'alr line" being THE shortest
possible line between the two cities, will necessa-
rily save much on the present running time be-
tween these points.

CHURCH OF ENeLAND.-A society, consisting
OF large number Of influential clergymen and
laymen, has been formed in England for the pur-
pose Of effectlng thoroughly conservative reform
in the government of the Established Church.
The movement is regarded as one of great inter.
est and importance, and, If successful. the total
downfall of the establishment will probably SOU
follow.

DEBT OF TExAs.-A bill Is now pending IN the
United States Senate for paying the creditors OF
Texas out of the Federal Treasury. The evil
dsuces of debt held by the creditors Of Texas, CON
sist mainly, we believe, of promssory notes when
were issued BY the Texan Government, during
the brief period of its separate and independent ex
is,ence. These notes underwent runops depre-
ciation in the hands of their original holders and
were finally bought up by spectators at a merely
nominal price Texas now refuses to pay what
annears to be due on the face of these obligations,
bpt scales them at an enormous rate. Hence the
creditors come before Congress and endeavor to
induce that body to intervene between themselves
and their repudiating debtor.
Mr.. Pierce's bill proposes in lieu of paying ovei
the remaining 100000 of the indemnity due t.
The State of Texas under the boundary act OF H.
80, (which was reserved in the treasury of the
limited States, until those creditors who had beer
secured on the public lands should file their re-
leases in the treasury Of the United States, 10 pay
eight and third millions directly to her creditors
Should the bill pass, there is every probability tina
Teras would still claim the remaining five mil
lions provided for in the boundary act. She cOal'
do 50 with decent share of justice and reason ,fo
che consented 10 the act Of 1850, on the express
condition that the whole indemnity of $lOOOC,Ol
should be paid over TO heEsolfand not to her cred
