Special dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
wAsnlscros, July 20.-Kansas Affairs and
foreign appointments occupied the Cabinet
to-day.
The full sketch of Gov. Walkers procla-
nation against Lawrence, shows it TO be a
denunciation Of Free State settlers to APP
pease the South and restore bis popularity
with the slavery party. II is rumored that
Gen Harvey is ordered to remain IN Kansas
with |. 500 men, and that the Utah expsdi-
ton is given up. The truth is, this order is
not under Amusement. Gov. Walkers spite
agains, Lawrence is believed to arise from the
rivalry Of other towns, in which he, Stanio !,
Aiken, Orr, and Whitfield are JOINT specuis-
tors. Mr.. Buchanan and g n. Cass certain

Of Walker alarm them. A conflict between
the people and the troops seems impend-

SHARK CAUGHT OFF NAHAsT-LKrrKR FROM
PRor. AGassIz. A shark, weighing 900 lbs,
was caught of Nahant on Wednesday by a
party Of amateur fishermen. We have the
following facts touching the monster Of tho
deep from Prof. Agassiz:
"a very remarkable shark was caught to-
day off Nahsnt, and is lying on the steam
boat wharf. The species is known to Ash-
ermen by the name Of Man Eater. 1t be-
longs to the genus Carcharodon, and 10
particularly interesting to the naturalist 40
living representative Of those huge sharks,
the teeth Of which are found in q fossil
state in the tertiary beds OF the Middle States
and Martha's Vineyard. Strange 40 it may
seem, this genus has not yet been mentioned
among the sharks living upon our coast.

Mr.. Cravath, Of that place, has been tried
on the prairie there, and works admirably.
With three yoke Of oxen, Ave burrows, each
one foot in width, were turned in the most
superior manner. The Garden State adds:
The success Of this important undertaking
is no longer in doubt. The ssgang pillow"
docs work, and Cravath will be counted
among the Fulsons, the Franklins, and the
"big fellers' generally. Mr.. Q. will soon

RATHER UNcHAsIrABLE. The Louisville
journal, in referring to the proposed estab-
lishment Of new Democratic paper in PHI
adeiphia ty John W. Forney, says:
Already there are evident symptoms Of =
fight between the two Democratic organs
the old one and the new one. We hope that
i Rice and Forney will do up each Others
Z jobs thoroughly. May they pull each othcr's
hair. May they gouge each others eyes.
I May they batter or bite of each Others no.

! May they kick each other with the most sharp

Tb, election Of Gen. Cavaignac, NJ. Olli-
visr, and NJ. Darimon, the latter one Of the
editors Of the presse. has caused sensa-
ton in Paris, and no little speculation
throughout Europe. 1t has, indeed, some
wha, effected even the Bristish funds. The
Emperor's government it was known did
what it could to procure the election Of its
own candidates, that is, all it could with
any show Of fairness. All the advantages
we're on its side. And yet its candidates.
have fallen behind. One Of the frmest Re-
publicans in France, in the person of Ca
vaignac,-the opposition candidate Of Louis
Napoleon when frs, elected President, has
been chosen by the people of Paris to rep
resent them. The other two successful can
didates are firm and decided opponents of
Napoleon's policy. II is rebuke which the
people, even under close surveillance, have
found means to utter against the Emperor
and his government. How much more en-
phatic this condemnation would have been
if the election had really been open and free
TO everybody, with every species Of fear and
restraint removed, we can easily guess, with
this result before US. People in Europe
caunotfa OF revolving the same thought.
IL is full of meaning. And it has its effect
upon public funds, and in speculatons con-
corning the future. But these representa-
tives must take the oath to support the gov
eminent, if they take their seats. Will they
do itf The friends Of the Empire hope not.
And they may decline doing so. If they do,
the fact Of their election will still be as sig.
niGcant as ever, and the influence upon the
public mind resulting from such course
may be as deleterious upon the Emperor's
government as il they were to take their
seats in legislative body that sits with
closed mouths only 10 register the DEGREES of
{, dictator.
GALLANT NEp S1ANLEY.-1hnt high-spirit-
ed and undetermined son of the old North
State, Edward Stanley, who never failed to
utter his sentiments boldly and fearlessly
while in Congress, whether they offended
his constituents or pleased them, some two
years ago went 10 California We see by
late accounts that he has determined to de-
vote himself TO the ministry. We see, also,
that he Isl member Of the Republican party
OF that State, active and prominent. In
whatever he engages, his heart is in the
cause, and he pursues il, with mn earnest and
honest zeal. He has all Southron's no.
tons OF "chivalry," and politicians will re-
member how successfully he bearded that
fiery soul, Henry A. Wise, in lS4l or '4o,
meeting him in his own way, with singing
tongue, and an insulting blow in the face
which was intended to provoke a challenge
On tina, occasion, and once again in the con-
ties, With j. q. Adams, Wise found more
than his match. Prosperity attend Ned
Stanley wherever he goes, for he is as gal
liant man Nc ever drew breath We need
no, say that !; rejoices us to know tina, he
has taken his position, politically, with
the party under whose banners we ourselves
do battle.

As kentuckians are renowned over the
world, for excellent marksmen, a fight on
the dark and bloody graund excises thrilling
interest, because every body knows that the

they don't get dreadfully frightened and too

the journal, and X. 7. Durritt, editor of the
Courier. Prentice way-laid Durritt, as he
passed along Jefferson street from dinner,
and shot ut him three times, Durritt return
cd the compliment and shot twice at Prentice,
but nobody was hito hurt. Prentice, when
he made the attack, WAS surrounded by
crowd Of friends, all armed TO the teeth, and
prepared to back him. The excitement is
