A FREE DEMOCRAIC STATE CONVENTION, consisting of two delegates from each As-1 zembly will beheld at Madison, Wednesday, the Bth day of June next, at 10 A. to nominate candidates for State Officers, and to transact such business as may be deemed proper.

B. HAZELTINE, April Ist. 1853. State Central Committee. SST Whig State Whig papers of the state contain a call for a Whig State Convention, to assemble at Madison, on Tuesday the 7th day of June, to nominate candidates of that party for State Officers.

Line of admirable line of boats, connecting by a dailyline the ports on the west shore of Lake Michigan with the east, are now running with the regularity of clock work, unless prevented by very severe weather. Both of them Artic and boats, commanded by experienced, and careful, and always accommodating their interests, and those of the public relative to them, looked after here by energetic, prompt business men, the line must be a favorite one, trusted by the public. New York unrivalled newspaper comes to us enlarged one-third, and otherwise improved. The white paper now costs more than the subscribers pay for it. The increased expense of the enlargement will be $50,000.

The paper has 14 proprietors, and employs 173 larger circulation, and exerts a wider influence, than any other paper in the United States. And it has well earned its success Its Semi-Weekly is enlarged to the. size of the Daily, and the Weekly will le enlarged next Septemper. Ntu have attended, as our time permitted, the lectures of Warren Chase, delivered in our city, during the past and present week, and were very much interested and we trust edified by them. Any person who supposes these lectures are on vague abstractions, and made up of visionary ideas, is much mistaken.

They are eminently practical, and enforced in plain language and in an agreeable manner. We commend Mr. Chase to the thinking public wherever he goes, quite sure that he will Le able both to interest and benefit it. c. 1.

s. JtiTWe give this week some twenty columns of fresh reading matter, and unless such of our business men as now deem it of no importance to let the world abroad know there is such a place as Kenosha, and they are doing business in it, should change their minds and advertise, we shall probably furnish twenty columns hereafter. We call the attention of our country friends to the fact, and would remark, in rail road parlance, that books of subscription are yet open," die. JJ3F According to a requirement of our amended City Charter, the new City Council, at their first meeting, proceeded to deter mine by lot as to the terms of Aidermen and Justices of the Peace. The matter was determined as follows: Aidermen for 2 years, D.

Crosit, Ist ward; P. M. Simon, 2d; Seth Doan, 3d. For one year, A. Lewis, Ist; 11.

Bacon, 2d; J. Bond, 3d ward. Justice of the Peace for two years, L. B. Nichols; for one year, F.

J. Whitlock. JtSTAsA Lewis, (Aiderman from the Ist Ward) was unanimously chosen President of the City Council, for the current year. A very excellent selection. That the appearance of our city has been very much improved by the removal of the sheds, awnings, and other excrescences, which disfigured Main Street, and the improvements which have followed their removal, is probably not questioned or doubted.

But a great many people would have been better satisfied to have bad the work done decently and in order, and in pursuance of some statute in such case made and provided if for nothing else, for the sake of Law and trust if any object is hereafter desired, manifestly an improvement as was this, some other mode than the one pursued, will be sought to accomplish it. SCHOOL EXAMINATION. The examination of Public School No. 1 has been in progress during the week and will close this afternoon. All who are interested in the school as parents and guardians, and who have not visited the schoc during the present term, should go to-daybetter late than not all.

The exercises exhibit close application to study and gratifying progress. We are informed a committee has been selected to attend upon tho examination of the classes, and report in detail at the close of the same. We hope to have the report of the committee next week. For of Wisconsin," see fourth page, where those interested will find from week to week the laws of general interest, until all are published. have been requested to publish the vote of die town of Somers at the late election, and intended to have done so in this paper, but were prevented by press of other matter.

We shall attend to it in our next. KENOSHA AND BELOIT HOAD. We spoke last week of this enterprise stating the subscriptions of stock the first day of opening the books, and expressing the hope that the expectations which had been raised by informal pledges of subscription, would be realized. We are glad now to be able to add, that these pledges have been more than realized. of stock were taken in this city, by our own citizens, and the five per cent, installment duly paid thereon.

If any doubts have heretofore involved this enterprise, they are, to our own mind in a great measure removed by the spirit and determination thus manifested by our people. Never before was there so much union with reference to any project as to such good feeling, and such a cheerful determination to do, and hearty confidence that the work by proper effort, will be accomplished. We append subsequent proceedings Tuesday afternoon, April 19, at a meeting of the stockholders, in the Kenosha and Beloit Hail Road, the following persons were duly elected Directors: Messrs. S. Hale, A.

Campbell, E. W. Evans, J. Bond, A. Leonard, Seth Doan, E.

Simmons, C. C. Sholes, and 11. B. Towslee, of Kenosha; Messrs.

C. M. Baker and C. 11. Stafford, of Geneva; and Mr.

G. C. Davidson, of Albany. Ata meeting of the Directors, Wednesday April 20, S. Hale was elected President of the company; J.

Bond, Secretary; A. Campbell, Treasurer; E. W. Evans, Attorney. C.

0. Sholes having tendered his resignation as a member of the Board, it was accepted, and J. H. Kimball, was appointed in his stead. An excellent Board of Officers has been chosen, who, wc are quite sure, will push the work ahead as rapidly as possible.

On the matter of this road, the Janesville Gazette has the following. We suppose the article of the Gazette is well founded, though we apprehend nothing definite has yet been decided on Railroad are informed that informal arrangements have been made between the Rock KiverValley and Kenosha and Beloit railroad companies for a con nection of the latter with the Valley road at Jefferson Prairie, and thence running into Janesville. This arrangement, if completed, (and no doubt is entertained that it will be,) provides for the construction of the Kenosha road on the six foot gauge, and gives a connection with this city, over the Valley road, by building about 43 miles. The companies interested in the negotiation were represented by their respective chief engineers, Mr. Johnson on the part of the Valley, Mr Twining on the part of the Kenosha Gazette.

INAVGVKAL ADDUIISS. Mayor Sholes gave his Inaugural Address on Monday evening last, before a large and respectable audience of our citizens. The Inaugural will be found in our paper of today. It is one of the most full and complete exhibits of our financial condition and resources, which has ever heretofore been embodied into any one public document. It abounds in statistical fact and information, such as are useful to every citizen.

The condition of our finances, as exhibited in the address of the Mayor, is most gratifying: we hazard nothing in the remark, that no other city in the west, great or small, can show such a freedom from debt with a balance in 1 its treasury as the city of Kenosha. We are pleased to learn that the Council have order- fifteen hundred copies of the message to be printed. CONCEHT THIS EVENINC. The concert to be given by the scholars of Public School No. 1, under the charge of Mr.

H. B. Coe, comes off this evening. Wo shall be much disappointed if there is not an overflowing house. The proceeds of the concert will be given for the purchase of books for the destitute children of the school, and if the avails shall bo more than sufficient for that object, the residue will be given for the purchase of clothing for the poor.

A worthy purpose, deserving the general approbation and aid of the community. INFOItHATION WANTED. A young man by the name of William Lanning left the residence of his father in Granby, Oswego county, N. on the loth of June last for some portion of the West, since which time nothing has been heard from'him. The young man is twenty years old; about 5 feet 10 inches high; dark hair, rather inclined to curl, dark complexion, black Englishman by birth.

Any information respecting him may be sent to N. R. Allen, Kenosha, or to J. A. Allen, Granby, Oswego County, N.

York. Western newspapers, by giving the above notice an insertion, will confer a great favor upon the afflicted parents of this young man. DEAF AND DI Mil ABYLEM. Our readers may not all be informed of the fact that there is a Deaf and Dumb Assylum established at Delavan, Walworth under the patronage of the State: appropriations having been made by the Legislature for the erection of suitable buildings and in- I cidental expenses. We are informed that the school is now in successful operation, and that there are nine deaf and dumb persons under the care of a proper teacher.

Board and tuition to the pupils are free, unless rents or guardians are able and willing to pay. This is a noble charity on the part of the State, extended to an unfortunate class i of persons; and if there are any in this part of the State it is to be hoped that they will at once be placed in this Asylum, where they may receive that attention and instruci tion suitable to their condition. Must prominent Free Soiler of Walworth County, writes: see you announce that Gov. Farwell declines a re-nomination for re-election, as I i expected, from conversion with him; but cannot he be persuaded to stand it one term more It is all-important that he should. The Hunkers, anticipating his nomination, already conceded they were beat.

The town elections give favorable indications for the Free Dem, Oi Bronson accepts the New York Collectorship WHAT OLGHT TO BE DONE. Our new city council is now fully organized, and we believe it is the public expectation that some improvements in our city will be encouraged and carried out There are some things, involving no great expense, which seem to demand the immediate consideration of the council. During the past two years but little has been done by the way of repairing side walks, or in the building of ones. Some of the side-walks on our most common thoroughfares, are in a dilapidated condition, and while they remain as they now are, will be a discredit to the enterprize and public spirit of our city authorities. Some of our streets ought to be cleared out, by the removal of the rubbish with which they are encumbered.

There are many buildings and fences which need to be painted or white-washed. Painting, and especially white-washing, is an excellent sanitory regulation, conducing not onlv to neatness and taste, but to the health of the people. If the present city council could devise some plan which would ensure the planting of shade trees on all our public streets, not exclusively devoted to business purposes, they would confer a lasting obligation upon the people of this city. No improvement could be made at an expense so coraparative! ly small, hich would contribute so much to the attractiveness of our town, and the comfort of our population. Besides, the planting of shade trees could not fail of greatly enhancing the price of real estate, because of the increased inducements to strangers to make their home among us.

The people look with confidence to our present city coun' eil to do all they can, consistently, to encourage these and similar improvements. A Murder in California. We gather the following particulars of the murder of Mr. Origin Perkins, a well know and respectable citizen of Burlington. Mr.

Origin Perkins, one of the first settlers of Burlington, Racine county, went to California some three years ago. During his residence in California he was engaged chiefly in the business of gardening, in which employment he met with considerable success. He was one of the of Calaveras county, and as a member thereof, was untiring in ferretingout theives, robbers and murderers, and bringing them to justice. It was doubtless owing to his well known and determined purpose to bring to merited punishment the lawless banditti of the surrounding country, that he incurred the hate of some murderous wretch. He was waylaid and shot while returning to his home from the residence of a neighbor.

Mr. Perkins had money with him at the time, but the murderer left it untouched, showing most clearly that the sole object was revenge. Mr. Perkins was making his arrangements preparatory to returning home, and had written tn his wife to meet him in Now He was the owner of a largo farm bordering on the village of Burlington, on which there is a fine residence, surrounded with the furnishments of taste and He leaves a devoted family overwhelmed by affliction at their bereavement, and a large circle of friends, to mourn his melancholy fate. i Farwell found the State out of debt, and leaves his office with of State bonds out." We call the above from the Madison Argus, decidedly cool; indeed we might say decidedly brassy.

The party to hich the Argus belongs has had almost undisputed control of the Legislative branch of the Government, which is the debt making power, during Gov. Farwell's term, and yet the Argus intimates that the Governor is responsible for existing debts. Pray tell us what the i Governor had to do with protracting the Legislative session to twice its usual length? what had he to do with ordering $5,000 worth of what with $4,000 of postage what with some $6,000 or 'clerk hire? what with some $12,500 (thrde times as much as ever before) of incidental printing so on to the end of the chap- I ter. Pray tell us, we say, what he had to do with all this. True ho might have vetoed some of the extravagant bills of an extrava-1 gant Legislature, if he had seen fit to interpose his authority in that manner, and there alone has he any responsibility, and we are surprised at tho organ of a party, which really had control of all this thing, provoking re' marks on the subject.

In the last Legisla- Iture, the Democracy had undisputed sway. I There was scarcely a to say them Nay, and if any person will point out a more extravagant or more useless session of the Legislature, we shall be glad to put it on record. We do n't say this, claiming that with some other party in power there would have been no cause of We do n't know but some other party might have been just as only mean to say that the loud professions of with which the ears of the people have been regaled for some time past, seem just now to manifest themselves practically, in a state tax of six mills on the dollar. Perhaps any change would bo a reform. If the people do n't think so, doubtless they will go in for existing conditions.

Pavl, has been appointed Post Master of this city, in place of Simeon King and John I R. Sharpstein, of this city, U.S District Attor- ney for the District of Wisconsin, in place of G. W. Lakin. With reference to the Tost Master this city, Mr.

Paul is no doubt fully competent to all its duties, and we think will make an agreeable and obliging officer. Some may think the office should have been conferred upon some one longer a resident among and more closely identified with I our interests but we take it the main interest of the public is in having a good officer and a well conducted office, which interest, we prove to have been subserved in this appointment. With reference to the Attorneyship, it is not a matter in which the public interest is very largely involved, or about which the public care much. The public doubtless, arc quite as willing that the gentleman appointed should have it, as any one else. How those more immediately interested in the courts will like it, we not, and care but little.

Sam'l Hale, Esq. wc learn has been appointed Harbor Master at this place, vice, J. 11. Hackley. Mr.

Hale is a man of capacity and industry whose interests are very largely identified with the interests of this place, and hence we consider this trust as committed to very good hands. It is proper to add that the gentleman removed was esteemed a very efficient and capable officer. Turn of tub Wheel. the turn of the political wheel a large army of our fellow citizens who have been sacrificing themselves to public duties and cares for the last four years, find themselves suddenly relieved of their burthens and restored to the dignity and honor of private life. Among the- number is our friend King, of the Post Office.

Doubtless he will carry with him to privite life, the same obliging disposition and the same suavity of deportment that distinguished his public administration, and at his old stand on Main st. (having like an advancing school boy, got through with his letters) will be glad to dispense reading to the million. A The acceptance by Mr. Sharpstein of the District Attorneyship for Wisconsin, will vacate his seat as Senator from this district, under sec. 13, art.

4 of the constitution, which is as follows any person shall, after his election as a member of the legislature, be elected to Congress or be appointed to any office, civil or military, under the government of the United States, his acceptance thereof shall vacate his THE FOX VALLEY HOAD. In other part of our paper will be found an article from the Chicago Journal in relation to that part of this road in Illinois, in which it stated tliat its construction from Elgin to the state line is fullv provided for. We consider it a question whether after reaching the state line, the continuation north will be on the Fox River Valley charter or the Central Road Charter. The latter, to us, would naturally be preferred. ArrotNTiNG of Waukesha, Editor of the Chronotype; Paul of Kenosha, editor of the Democrat, have been appointed Post Masters at their respective places and how ninny more may have been appointed throughout the state, at present, we know not.

Editors have, as a general thing, ability enough to fill any place, are generally very clever and on the average, a trifle more needy than the rest of mankind; in which view of the case, their appointment would seem to be peculiarly fit to be But there are other considerations which should enter into this question. We look upon Editors somewhat as officers or servants of the of the righto and Interests of the particularly to guard against the approach of despotism, to give the alarm and rally to the defence of the popular liberty, however, whenever, and wherever assailed. If we are right in this, holding an appointment at the hands of the central power would hardly seem to be compatible with these duties. If the people have anything to fear it is from the corruptions and encroachments of their own government, and if they want public presses for any thing it is to warn them of these dangers. Are these pensioned editors likely to perform this duty Will the people hear from them of the corruptions or of the government? Can they be looked to to rebuke official insolence, or sound the note of warning at We fear not; we fear that laudation, under all circumstances, will be the only language uttered by them of the powers that be, and that the very vices of the government will be twisted, if possible, into apparent virtues, for the people to embrace to their own undoing.

Such is human nature, at present, and wc believe editors claim to be no more than human, and admit themselves nothing less. When the legislative power and the press are fairly subsidised by the use of the appointing power, we sec bn! the President will be supreme and such appears to be the tendency, very rapidly at the present time. Some of President ardent admirers, (probably those who have been successful in ting office) arc quite sure he is the man for the next term. Perhaps so and perhaps not. If it should so happen that the bestowal of office, is the most important business of the administration, we think Mr.

Pierce wonlt see another term. Giving office makes no new friends, but seldom fails, for every office given, to make half a dozen enemies. Al ready ere the mutterings of discontent and dissatisfaction heard all over the Union, not perhaps because there is any good reason for it, but no man applies for office without thinking that he is just the man for the place, and he construes his disappointment into a public calamity, and believes patriotism requires opposition on his part to the perpetrators of the outrage This thing overwhelmed Fillmore. It will overwhelm any President or administration, where there are not some sufficiently strong counteracting influences or causes to prevent. These counteracting influences are to be found in the public measures of the administration.

There must be questions, or a question, sufficiently important to engross the attention of the masses of the people lift the government above this ground swell of petty and make it the object of the hope, and their confidence and stay. No such absorbing questions are now before the country, and consequently a weakness want of cohesion, seems to pervade the whole of that great party which made Pierce President. Whether any great questions, either external or internal, will arise during this administration, remains to be seen: and if there does whether the President will be found in sympathy with the great popular heart, remains to be seen. On the whole, we think chance for a second term, depends upon the future, with the probabilities decidedly against him. C'T'The New York Tribune thinks the only effect of attempting to keep alive the whig party, is to keep the old democratic party correspondingly organized in opposition, when they will do only mischief; advises the dissolution of the party, so that its members may be ready for any sensible move that duty or attraction may suggest.

The Boston Courier, another whig paper, but of a very different stamp from the Tribune, advises the same thing, except that it intimates the best ng the whigs can do, is to go in to the support of administration. We shall see what wc shall see. following, from the National Era, ought to, if it does not, arrest the serious attention of the People. The evil alluded tv, those even slightly acquainted with our domestic history, must have observed, has been frightfully growing for a few years past. Where will it end? If not checked, we can see but one result; the transformation of our government into a despotism, in which the President ill be dictator and head.

Manifestly so, because through this appointing power the President will attain complete control of the legislative power: and places in the legislature will be sought, not to serve the People but the President. The Era suggests one remedy, but we believe a more efficient one would be, to reduce, or take from the President, so far as possible, this appointing power. It must be done, or this increasing centralization of power must destroy the Republic: The stand little chance of the where their servants set up claims. Senators and Represenatives get the best slices now-a-days. Davis becomes a member of the Cabnet Dickinson and Dix are made Collector and Sub-Treasurer of New York; Sturgeon is appointed Assistant Treasurer of Philadelphia; Downs, Collector of New Orleans Soule, Minister to Spain; Borland, Governor of New Mexico.

An ex-senator is spoken of as Minister to the Court of St. James, and a member from Ohio desires to hold the place of Mr. Rives at Paris, Dobbin and Mc- Clelland, former members of the House, take their places in the Cabinet; Inge, Gorman, Peck, Henley, Peaslee, all late members, are favored with fat offices. We doubt whether this it is an ever before been carried to such an extent. It is easy to see how the pensioning system must lower the tone and impair the independence of the Federal Legislature.

The true remedy is, a rule that no member of Congress shall bo permitted to hold office under the Federal Government during the term for which he is elected, and for two years thereafter. Such prohibition would turn his eyes from the Excutive to the People. Enlarged Kenosha Telegraph, in speaking of an invention by which rail cars can be propelled 100 miles an hour, and another by hich letters can be transmitted from Boston to New York in fifteen minutes We have but two years will witness both these results. What! Latham: won't you name the time Advocate. Father Clement is waxing fat, and growing correspondingly slow with reference to the progress of the age.

We mean the next two before it happens course. And our faith is not without reason. All that is necessary to enable cars to run a hundred miles an hour, is to keep them from living the track, which is claimed by as sound a Journal as the National Intelligencer, to have been attained. With reference to the Atmospheric France there is now a rail road, upon which cars are propelled precisely as it is proposed to propel these packages. We are sure it is just as easy as shooting, to send a package by that process from New York to Boston and as it is just what the age demands, we are equally sure it will be done within the two years wo speak of.

Uncle Cabin. world renowned book, has acquired for its author, Mrs. Stowe, such respect and attention, as no other author, man or woman, or even Statesmen or conqueror, ever received from mankind. She is invited to England by 800,000 names, which on her landing is to be presented to her in an oaken ease. She is to be received Stafford House, which, during her stay in England is to be her own, by lords, ladies, and gentlemen of cvey honorable class, and enjoy a triumphal inarch from Liverpool to London.

This, to onr eye. looks most encouraging. It is not a tribute to Mrs. Stowe, nor to any peculiar feature of her book, but a spontaneous expression in favor of the great principle of liberty against that of despotism. And it is encouraging for the cause of liberty, not in this country particularly, or any country, but throughout the world.

The Democratic papers of the state, and particularly the Madison Democrat, arc still exercised in regard to appointments by the new administration. It is manifest that they think the great purpose for which a democratic administration was wanted, was to get possession of the offices, and they should be distributed, less with reference to the abilities of the applicant, than to services done and performed in getting the administration into power. Our own opinion is, that the first business of any administration is, to look after and promulgato the principles it represents, and next to give office to whomsoever it And a man who get office has no more right to complain than he has, that a rich old codger whom he never saw, chose to die without remembering him in his will. New York Legislature was reconvened on its adjournment, by the Governor. One of the Canal Commissioners of that state has been impeached, and is to be tried by the legislature.

The Cabinet has not exploded, as was rumored in our last. We infer, however, from all we gather, that the machinery does not work very smoothly, but the scandal, of a public quarrel will doubtless be avoided. They have a new locomotive on the Milwaukee and Janesville road, called George 11. Should it prove as fast as the gentleman it is named after, we are quite sure it be beat. The clipper ship, Flying Cloud, lately, between San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands, averaged the whole time out, 256 miles a day.

Almost as good as steam. April 12, there were $2,000,000 of silver in the Philadelphia Mint. It was being coined up into quarters, dimes, and half dimes. First Arrival. whistle of a propeller from the lower lakes, was heard in our port on Monday morning last.

It was the 1 orest City. The carrying business around the lakes, will this summer and hereafter, we think, be done chiefly by propellers. The Wisconsin Health Insurance is the title of a company chartered by the late legislature. A meeting for subscription to the capi- tai stock is called at Milwaukee, on the 2d of May. I The Milwaukee and Fond du Lac Road is one of the roads which no doubt will be built.

This will add to the demand for the lake share road, which under growing circumstances, will be the best stock of any road in the state. The Legislature of New York, just adjourned, passed 217 acts. The Legislature of Wisconsin passed some 500, and has not adjourned yet. The Walworth Co. Reporter, speaking of the Racine and Janesville Road, says, it has large corpse of hands at work.

The State Bonds alluded to in our last, were bought, 530,000 by Alexander Mitchell; 10,000, C. C. Washbume, Mineral Point; 10,000, Joe Smith. Average premium, six, four, and per cent. Father Clement, of the Racine Advocate, propo'es to start a daily soon in that enterprising city.

We notice that the dwelling house of Mr. Martin, of Berlin, Marquette co was recently destroyed by fire. The person alluded to is, no doubt, out once fellow citizen, Gordon Martin. The House, we are told, was a new and valuable one. James Densmore writes a very good letter to the Milwaukee Free Democrat, in which he says, it is folly, or something worse, to insist upon calling Gov.

Farwell a Free Democrat. He is not so distinctively, any more than thousands of other Whigs in the state, but he is a very good governor, and for that reason should be supported by the Free Democracy, for re-election. All true and well said. The annual product of gold increases rapidly, from which it is inferred by many, its value must diminish. But do not the number of people who use gold, and the wants of commerce increase as rapidly as the gold product? Letters to Country Girls, is the title of a book of 28 chapters, written by Mrs.

Swishelm, We are quite sure it is good, and will benefit those to whom it is addressed, if they will but procure and read it. If not already, it no doubt soon will be, for sale in the city. On Thursday, May sth, John P. Hale partakes of a public dinner tendered him by the Free Democracy of Massachusetts. Ole Bull, assisted by Strakosh and Patti, will soon give concerts at Chicago.

These form a trio worth hearing. A refreshment car is about to be added to the cars on the Ohio and Baltimore Rail Road Cars. We suppose the time to be not distant, when cars will run on the roads containing the conveniences for both eating and sleeping, as much as steamboats now do. The Wisconsin says: The site of Milwaukee is naturally a very beautiful a thing which would never be suspected, if some one hud not mentioned it. The distance from Chicago to Buffalo by the Southern Michigan Road and Boats, was made a few days since, in 26 hours.

A Veritable A lady customer at the telegraph office, a few days since, refused to pay the tariff'on a dispatch received, on the ground that it was not from the person it purported to be, because it was not in his hand writing. Another would not believe his dispatch had been sent, bectiuse he saw it hanging on the hook where the operator filed dispatches sent. The Carson League thinks another Legislature will not assemble in New York, without enacting the Maine Law. Wc are inclined to think the Maine Law has become one of the facts of the age, not but destined to progress to fill the land. And this reminds us that the People away down in South Carolina are moving for its enactment in that state.

Is it not rather a queer doctrine, inasmuch as the rum traffic makes up a large proportion of our local expenses, that those who have to pay the tax have no right to prohibit the traffic. Washington, April 14. Mr. Sargent, editor of the Republic, is lying seriously ill. Mr.

Bronson has not yet accepted the office of Collector at New York, and if he does not, it will be tendered to Mr. Ilavcmeyer, in case he promises to accept. I Edward Stanley is about starting to California to locate there. The securities of Thadeus Kosciusco have paid the amount of judgement recently rendered against the Count. New York, April 14.

The presiding officer of the Senate this morning notified the Senators that he had i received a message from the President of the United States, requesting -them to meet to; day, as he had business to communicate to i the Senate. When the Senate met the nomination of 1 Hon.

James Buchanan was received andeonj firmed as Minister to England. It was for this purpose he desired the attendance of the Senate. The rumors of changes in the Cabinet, i which have been gossiped about the streets for the last, few days, are entirely unfounded in fact. The pertinacity with which they are adhered to affords a good deal of amusement to the secretaries. President Pierce having got rid of the i Senate, found time, this afternoon, to take a walk on the avenue.

Mobile, April ,14. Vice President King since his arrival has been afflicted with severe spells of coughing. Should he however be no worse, he will go up the river to his plantation on Saturday. Barnum, the showman, is not elected to i the Connecticut Legislature from Bridgeport. The member's name is Joseph Crosby.
