SKETCH OF JAMES KING, OF cAL1poRSrA.


(From the Washington Globe, June 16.l
We knew Mr.. King well and cannot refrain from
dering some tribute, short and hurried though be- TO
his many excellent qualities.
Mr. King was born in Georgetown In this District and
about thirty five years old at his death. He added
other families named King who resided in Georgetown
His fathers name was William King a cabnetmaker,
and was well known throughout the District. Though he
was in INDECENT circumstances, and bore himself modest
y and humbly, he was most highly esteemed, and
often called upon to preside public meetings both
Georgetown and IN this city. Everybody bowed TO and
Obeycd his decisions.
We first became acquainted with his son, James King
in the carly part of the year $780, when he was sup
clerk in Office. He continued in employ until af
ter the Presidential election OF that year. when did not

recommended Mr. King to them, and they employed him.
They were well pleased with him, and he continued with
them until after the acquisition of California when he

named by the Convention forthe Vice Presiden-
cy, John C. Breckenridge was our choice. His
high character, his fearless advocacy Of his prin-
ciples at all times and his chivalric disregard of
party feeling when called upon to do justice to
Henry Clay, have long since won for him our
admiration and regard. We are satisfied that
no nobler standard bearer could have been Sc
Icctcd for the place, and that he at least will cv-
er prove true to the ardinal.prineiples of State
Rights which are involved in, and second only
to the corner stone of the platform. These are

AxER1cAx DEGREES oS Counr CosrUNE-Mr.
Marcy, the American Secretary, who has mani
tested such an obstinate and impracticable spirit
in his correspondence with our Government, is
determined to be consistent in all things, and has
after due consultation with the govern
ment tailors of the United States, defined and
prescribed the dress in which all American gen
tlemen must appear at foreign courts, and our
own especially. The order which has been con-
veyed to the American legation is not limited in
its application TO the members of the diplomatic
corps, but to ali free and independent citizens,
who thus do not enjoy the same liberty Of action
which the subjects of the nonarchies of Europe
to certain extent do. The costume which the
united taste and wisdom of Mr.. Marcy and his
coadjuatOrs have decided on consists OF an ordi-
nary black dress coat white waist-coat, white
cravat, black pantaloons, orbreeches, silk stock
ings, black sword, and cooked hat Several
American gentlemen have expressed their feel
ings of annoyance at this proceeding of Mr.. Mar
cy. They would willingly, when seeking for
their own pleasure, to pay their respects to the
Sovereign of Great Britain, and as matter of
true po!teness and good taste, conform to the
usagcs and costumes of her court; but this, order
of Mr.. Marcy is of so imperative n nature-as to
leave the intelligent members of the great Re-
public no option.-LondoR Court Journal.

The HuNoRs OF AN AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL
CANVASS are already becoming manifest in the
partizan newspapers. Many persons profess 20
feel profound contempt for such things, but
there is undoubtedly great deal of amusement
to bederived from them by those who are not
afflicted with strong prCiudices For instance,
we. fancy that Mr.. Buchanan himself would
laugh at seeing himself styled the political

MS bachelorhood, and the deplorable spectacle
the White House would present in the event Of
its occupant having no wife to preside over the
inequalities of the "Inansion. Some one has
presented to Prentice, the editor of the Louis
vile Journal, live eagle, to be set free when
Mr.. Fillmore becomes President The press has
been filled with lamentations at the endless doom
of thatunfortnnate, it being supposed of course,
by the writers, that Mr.. Fillmore's chances are
not particularly splendid. We noticed some
time since the American ticket in country
newspaper printed so that the name of the can
didatc for Vice President was divided into two
parts, ANDREW jackson" being in great fiariag
capitals, and DonclSOn in small type underneath.
This paper was in earnest, too, and thought it
was rendering Mr.. DOnclsom a service. The al
lucrative tickets of the Democrats, Buchanan
and Breckenridge, has suggested everywhere

THE MOLAsSEs AND SUGAR MARKET OF Bos-
roN.-This city is one of the largest molasses
and sugar markets in the Union. New York
may excel Boston in the latter article, and par
ticu!arly in the sale of hogShcad sugar but in
box and bag sugars and molasses, Boston has
the superiority. Besides orr direct imports of
nolaSses large portion of that imported into
Portland and Gloucester, finds its way hither,
for Disabling purposes 1t is even sent here from
Bristol and Newport, Rhode Island. Oar usual
import uutil last year, of molasses is about 10
600 hhtls.; of sugar 10000 hhds., $4,000 boxes.
Ind 10000 bags comprising about go cargOeS
each year. This vast quantity is taken by our
market for retailing and manufacturing Boston
has the most extensive diSiillation of rum in the
United States, and its sugar refinerieS require
great supplies of crude sugar; Our coastwise
and foreign shipments of refined sugars are very
large, nearly approaching New York in impor-
lance.
The Chilian and California markets take thou
sands OF barrels from Boston annually. Our
own domestic trade requires ten times rs much
refined sugars as it did some few years ago.
With these great calls, which are constantly in
creasing for sugar and mOlaSSeS, our receipts
have fallen off since 1851 eaOrm0Wsly Small as
the quantity of mOlasSeS received at this port
last year was, thus far this season we have only
received one hnlt as much. There seems to be
great scarcity to all the Cuba and other West
India ports of fair quality. Molasses is now
worth 40 cents per gallon in this market, and
no stock of consequence on hand. Sugar is al
so very high, common grades being worth cents
and refined 10 to IL cents. The prospects are
now favorable for still advanced price for both
sugar and molasses, as the quantity coming to
Boston is known to.be very small.-BostOo Ira
