NEW PosTMAsTER FOR BosToN.-It seems
that the administration have at last decided upon
the removal Of Edwin c. Bailey, the excellent
Postmaster of Boston, and to put in his place
some one, Of the value Of whose extraordinary
services, as author Of the History Of Democra.
Cyl" the world, and perhaps most Of the masses
Of his party,were before unaware Of. Nahum Ca
pen, Esq, Of the former book. publishing firm Of
Marsh, Capen, & Lyon, is the fortunate recipient
Of that lucrative post
The Boston Journal says;
:" Mr.. Bailey has been connected with the Office

admirable manner in which the affairs Of the Of
nee nave been conducted, has shown his fitness
ior the station which he has filed with honor TO
himseil, ana 70 the universal satisfaction Of the
citizens Of Boston"
This is reason sufficient why he should be re-.
moved, to make way for some more obseouious
toady Of the administration. As either Col.
Greene or Bailey had got to walk the plank. the
administration could hardly dispense with the In.
fuence Of the Post, SO the axe fell on poor Bal.

Boston would have preferred him for Postmaster
ANY body could fill satisfactorily the post Of Ma

as Greene, in this crisis. So he is retained will

A NEW ENTERPRIsB.-We understand that
the workmen broke ground, on Saturday. for the
foundation of a new building, for manufacturing
purposes, which is to be erected, the present sea-
son, on lot of land near the freight depot Of the
Western Railroad. The building is to be but one
story in height, but it will cover large extent of
territory, and will require about threefourths of
million of bricks in its construction. One por-
ton of it will be occupied by Nathan Washburn,
Esq, as an iron foundry. for the manufacture of
his justly celebrated car wheels, and the remain-
der by Henry S. Washburn, for rolling mill and
wire factory. The parties interested in this en-
terprise have abundant capital at their command,
and we are glad to chronicle its beginning as an
other indication of the return of increasing pros
perity and better times.

FITcHBURG.-On Wednesday last, says the Re-
Ue'le, the May training took place. The Fusi-
Tiers and the Guards mustered in strong numbers,
and the streets presented an unusually lively ap-
pearance. The Fusiliers, under their deservedly
popular commander, ]. W. Kimball, and other
well appointed officers, enjoy an enviable reputa-
ton, and their motto seems to be excelsior They
marched to the rich music of the Fitchburg Cor
net Band, who have improved their heretofore
neat uniform with new bear.skin cap. The
Washington Guards, Capt. Jonas Corey, his first
appearance as commander,) mustered sixty eight
men, rank aud file, and never appeared to better
advantage. Fiske's Cornet Band of Worcester,
did up their music in fine style. The Guards are
fine looking, stalwart, and able body of men,
and under their present efficient and highly re.
spected commander, are destined to make their
mark in the " Bold 9th"
We are happy to learn that Charley Wilkinson
and Miss Mary Hill, with company of comedi-
ans from the Worcester Theatre, have been doing
a fine business there for the past week. Well,
they deserve abundant success.
On Thursday, Leonard M. Stevens of Ash
burnham, got full of rum, and amused himself by
driving around the streets in a most reckless
manner. He was taken before the Police Court,
after fight with an officer, and fined for being
drunk, and bound over in the sum of two hun.
dred dollars, for assault on the officer.

''They landed amid repeated cheers and gen

was fairly into her dock, the General was escort
ed to the barouche by some of his friends, sur
rounded by an immense crowd OF people The
barouche was then driven off upChambers street to
Broadway, and thence to the St. Nicholas, follow.

friends. They then drove to the residence Of the

THE LEGISLATURE PRoRoGUBD-The Last
Veto Of the GoUernor.-We learn that the Great
and General Court of Massachusetts, has at last
ended its labors, and was prorogued, in due form,
at about halfpa nine o'clock on Saturday even.
ing last, to the fourteenth day of July next
1t is an event over which the people may
well rejoice and, in bidding it farewell, we cannot
refrain from the exaression of our hope that we
may not see its like again.
We learn that Governor Gardner, in prorogung
the Legislature, stated that he should not accede
to the address of the two houses for the removal of
Judge Loring, and would give his reasons for his
conduct hereafter. Thus has he once again
thwarted the wishes of the people, and set him
self up the defender of the slavecatcher, whose
infamous ediets he was first and foremost to en-
force, when, years ago, he enrolled his name with
that band of cut-throats and princely merchants,
known as the Sims Brigade.
There were some men in the State foolish
enough or verdant enough to expect from his Ex-
cellency different course of conduct upon this
matter, but we were not of the number, and we
are not surprised, now, that tle man whose
whole life has been covered over with the badges
of the stakeholder" should have made the office
OF the Chief Magistrate the ark of safety for that
infamous Judge of Probate" who has again and
again defed the Legislature and the people to re-
move him from an office which he holds, contrary
to law, to the dscredt of the Judiciary, and to the
everlasting disgrace of the State.

WALKER EXCITEMENT AT THE SoUTH.-
Private dispatches received at Washington
from New Orleans state that the most intense
excitement iii behalf of Gen. Walker pre-
vailed there, and that preparations were being
sent off in all directions, and the whole valley
of the Mississippi would soon respond to
Walkers cause with the most substantial
sympathy and aid. When Soule and Slater
left Washington, they were perfectly satisfied
with the interview they had with the Pres
ident, and, if Walker had been victorious, a
Minister would have been sent to Nicaragua,
acknowledging the government.
