A Washington correspondent gives the
following account Of an interview between
the President and Hon. N. p. Banks, of
Massachusetts, % eiaal ~ .as.
"The Hon. Mr.. Banks, who is soon to Be
inaugurated Governor of Massachusetts,, and
whose services in the United States House
Of Representatives closed with the adjourn
ment to-day, called last evening upon Presi-
dent, Buchanan, to pay his respects upon
leaving Washington. The President received
him very cordially, and gentleman who
happened to be present at the interview was
quite amused at the tone Of conversation
which occurred. Mr.. Banks congratulated
the President upon his evident good health,
Notwithstanding the cares and turmoils Of
his official station, to which Mr.. Buchanan
replied, yes Mr.. Banks, I am burthened,
but there are men in the nation who would
willingly assume the responsibilities with
tho honors Of the ofice.' $50 | am told,'
replied Banks. Il may add continued the
President naively, that there are young men
who would not object to the position.' $50
an told, SIR said Banks, sYoung men are
ambitious sometimes continued Mr.. Blu
chanan. NO doubt, Mr.. President, re-
joined Banks quietly, you know, sir, that is
the natural fault Of youth; but there are
some young men who can afford to watt
'Yes, remarked the President, pleasantly,
as he turned to other topics. At parting,
Mr.. Buchanan took the hand of Mr.. Banks,
and said, 4 am happy to have seen you, sir;
l wish you well, and most earnestly wish
you success and prosperity in everything but
your politics. 80. ',,...t

Cattle Csnssmsd In New York.

Some idea may be obtained Of the meat
eating propensities of New York, from the
following table--the receipts embrace all the
city live stock markets, including those re-
tailed at Bergen, for the year 1857: u. ..~
Total for So weeks, beef cattle, 1862, All;
milch cows, 1885; veal calves, 27,937;
sheep and lambs, 447,S54. -
Average wpekly receipts, beef cattle,
1854; mich cows, 257; veal calves, 537;
sheep and lambs, 8,6l2. ~ =
The weekly receipts of beef cattle for the
preceding year (lS56) were 3,54S, showing
an average weekly decline Of 4O5 head, or
m aggregate falling of for the year, Of
over II 900 beef cattle. Estimating these
at 700 pounds nett for the beef, gives A.
1OO,OOO pounds, which at 10 Ia cents Der
pound-the average price for year-makes
decline OF about 81 5000 in the city
beef for 1851, As compared with 1856. The
tables Of weekly receipts, when compared
win the preceding year, show that the prin.
cipal falling of has taken place during the
last three months, or since the financial
pressure commenced.

Editor Register: The following lines,
published in the Atlantic Monthly, by r. w.

The fact is, that Emerson had lately

feelings ON the subject, bat being quite
unable to do 90 in ordinary English, unfor-
