{; five millions Of dollars, which they hope 10 en-
gineer through safely. Since the departure OF
our venerable contemporary, Thurlow Weed,
Esq, for Europe, the Albany lobby has been
without head, and is sort of all tail arrange
lmcnt decidedly. The Hon. Mephistopheles
Greeley aspires to fill the position which Nj.
Weed vacates; and, since his gold pen lottery
has failed and bis paper is deprived Of the
patronage it confessedly needs" by the su-
.perior circulation of The HERALD, it may be just
the place for Linn. BY his own acknowledg.
