Speaker Winthrop, and Mir. Seaton, the Mayor of Washington.

At about one o'clock, General Taylor, ;n full view of at least twenty thousand people, from all parts of the Union, delivered his augural ad- dress. It was read in remarkably distinct voice, and was enthusiastically y responded to by the cheers of the people. As soon as the ap- plause had subsided, the oath of office was ad- ministered to the President by Chief Justice Fancy. The President then received congratu- latlons from numerous persons present-Chef J ustice Fancy and eX- President Polk taking the lead.

A Coop JoKE.-A correspondent of the Sa- vannah Republican,, writing from Brunswick Geo. is responsible for the following:
 T heard a good joke connected with the late illumiaations here on the receipt of the news of the passage of the Navy Yard bill. A German painter employed to letter the trans parencies, in copying from the manuscript, which was not very legble and attempting to decpher the words, "No Main Trunk" could only make out the first words to be N0 Mtn. This settled, he very naturally concluded there must be mistake in the first letter CT) of the last word So, to make the whole consistent, and carry out what he conceived to be the real intention of the writer, he painted, in conspic- uous letters " No Man Drunk" This trans parency, am told, was kept out of the process son"

Dled-On' Tuesday night, the 17th inst, in thls city, Capt. ABRAHAM BLOCK, of Washing ton, Ark, in the seventy seventh year of his aSe.-N o. Picay,me.
 The above announcement will be received with heartfelt regret in southwest Arkansas though the event cannot surprise those who knew the deceased in his last days Having reached the age allotted to but few, his demise was nothing more than must have been ex pected. Yet there is a melancholy void creat- ed by the death of this aged citizen Capt. Block was a merchant at Washington many years before Arkansas became a State, and dur ing his lifetime residence there he became widely known as useful and honest citizen None knew him but to admire his integrity and goodness of heart, and few there are in the region of country where he resided who did not know him intimately
 On Monday, the 16th inst, in the town of Benton, Saline county, Arkansas, at the re- sidence of William Crawford, JAMES G. c. PRIvETT, aged nineteen years, six months, and twenty days.
 We, your committee. appointed to draft suit able resolutions expressive of our respect for Brother JAMES c. c. PRIvETr deceased, to- .gether with our sympathy for his relatives and friends, would espectfuly>present the follow. ing report: B.
 -Resolvel, That nasmuch as it has seemed good in the sight of our Heavenly Father to take from our midst, our esteemed young bro- | ther, JAMES G. c. PRIvETT, we take this method and opportunity of expressing our un- telgned heartfelt sorrow for our loss, and of of- ferng our coincidence to his bcreaved and af- tiicted parent and relatives. Possessing, as he did, an amiable, unassuming. disposition of steady moral, and industrious habits, to be known was to be loved; our loss is his gain, for he has passed from life of trouble, toll, and temptation in the prime of youth, ere the poisonous breath of calumny has sullied his fair name, or the demon alchohol has bowed his manly spirit, to enter into the joys of an eternity of bliss.
 Resolue1, That this Division of the s. of T. as an outward manifestation of their respect for the deceased, wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days
 Resolved Jfurther, That copy of these reso. lutions be forwarded to the parents of the de- ceased, and also to the True Democrat and Ga zette & Democrat for publication.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AGA1N.--In the British House of Commons, on the night of 23d ult., Mir. Napier advocated another expedition in search of the Erebus and Terror, and their hap less crews, now twelve years missing In doing so he alluded to the return of the Resolute, by our government, and thought she was now in condition to undertake another voyage to the Arctic regions. The resolution was warmly opposed by Sir Charles Wood, Admiral Borke- ley and others, and finally withdrawn. It would appear from the discussion that a large number of officers in the British navy were anxious to go on the proposed expedition
