The soft shell section of the democratic party met
last night at rammany Hall, and adopted some
important resolu ions. 1t win be seen that the
Know Moth ngs a:e repudiated, and that the True
National Democrat ia virtually read out of Old
Tammany. Such are The muta ions in party poll
tics.
We alluded yesterday to confession said to have
been made by convict in the State prison, iefe-
renee to setting fire to Jennings store in Broadway.

NE-y HAME HIRE POLITICS.
Tho administration party in New Hampshire
experienced adisasros check yesterday, Three bal
lettings for United States senaterwere held, the
result Of which in given under the tciegraphc head.
The Upshot was that a number Of The Pierce demo-
Gratis, finding they could not eleSt their candidate,
after an exciting DEBATE yielded to the force OF Cir
cumstances, and voted for al indefinite postpone
ment ofthe subject. Sevsn democrats were absent,
| and g reconsideration moved--pendng which
the House adjournedn order, perhaps that another
/ effort may be made. The anti Nebraska resolutions
| were also postponed. The Pierce men have been
defeated in their efforts to elect senator's in their
choice Of State printer and will probably be impo
tent in their en1eavors against tie resolutions. So

by this time it is probable that o bloody en-
gagement' has taken place between the Rus
slams and the allied forces. BY the Canada we
learn that Marshal st. Armand had despatched
seventy thousand men to the relief of Slistcia,
and il was expected that they would reach the
fortress by The 10th or at furthest by the 10Th
OF June. The Importance of this position has
naturally caused great anxiety rs to its
fate, and from the tremendous force which the
Russians had concentrated upon it there is
reason TO believe that it must have fallen be-
fore the arrival of the troops sent to its relief
The Russians seem now determined to con-
Time their advance, and their troops at Bu-
charcst have received orders to move ON to the
Danube. We may therefore expect to hear
soon Of some thing more decisive than the bonn
harding OF an almost deicnceless town and the
capture Of a few merchant vessels.
IRON the Baltic and Black Seas we have no
account Of any fresh operations. Sir Charles
Napier is, we presume, awaiting the arrival Of
the promised feet OF sluall steamers before he
attacks Sweaborg and Cronstadt, and Admiral
Dundas is waiting to get his own steam up be-
fore he attacks Sebastopol.
There are reports, as usual, OF q disposition
on the part OF Russia 10 propose an armisticc
through the medium Of Austria, and also Of an
intmation on the part of Prussia to tho former

The lesser German States have, swe predicted
assumed an equiyocal and distrustfui position
towards Austria and Prussia. and the result
Of the convention at Bamberg is likely 10 lead
to subsidiary complications almost as embar-
RAISING as that Of which Vienna las been the
theatre.
The partial reconstruction, which is an
nonnced as having taken place in the British
Cabinet, is not likely 10 alter in any material
respects its general principles or policy. The
changes that have been made having been oc-
casioDed solely by The creation Of a new mir
isterial office, which was called for by the in
creased pressure OF business in The War Depart
ment BY n strange anomaly, the origin of
which il would be difficult to account for, the
duties Of Secretary OF War had been hitherto
combined with those of the Colonial Secretary,
aud The Duke OF Newcastle, the incumbent
of the two Offices, found himself 70 over
Nholmed by the multifarous aud frequently
inconsistent requirements Of both, that il
was found necessary to relieve him by
dividing them ana appointing two dis
tinct ministers 10 discharge them. 1t was
believed by most people, that when this altera-
ton took place Lord Palmerston would be |
transferred from The Home Odice to the now !
post Of Minister Of War, for which his energy |
and long previous experience so emnenily |
qualified him; but the Duke or Newcastle has |
displayed 80 much capacity and zeal in his |
management Df Tho lrnortmnnt since ii h0s |

himself so popular with both branches Of the
service, That 1t was not thought advisable to
remove him. Another consideration which no
