Washington Gossip. The Post Office Department -will renew operations in the way of removals, very soon. There are signs in all quarters, of a rallying of the old democratic party for the regaining of their power. The democratic Senate will use its power 1 to overthrow tbe administration. Their first ground of opposition will be to removals for political cause.

This I look upon as certain, having had means of knowing something of the prevailing sentiment on the democratic side of the Senate. Corr. Jour. Com. Sheep and Lambs small lots 1 92, 2 17, 2 33, 275, $3 and 3 50 and 4 25.

The House is commodious, the rooms are of good size and well ventilated. Grateful for the patronage he has received, he takes this opportunity to announce that he has made arrangements to become not only keeper, but proprietor of tbe Clarendon House, and hopes, by constant endeavors to entertain and please his visitors, that he may receive a share of public patronage.

Notices: River Wool Depot The encouragement for the directors to open this Depot, (with pled see to the amount of 70,000 lbs.) is such that they have seen fit to make all suitable arrangements to open the same, for the reception of all grades of wool on the 25th of: June next, at tho -c Patent Office Appointment. The Baltimore Sun aays that Mr. Skinner, appointed to take charge of the subject of Agricultural Statistics" in the Patent Office, is not John S.

All those who anticipate carrying their wool to this establishment, will do well to observe the lollowing directions. Wash your sheep clean, hich is mure readily done by welting or soaking the flock before washing, or wash them soon after a rain.

After washing, the sheep should be put in a clean pasture. Alter this, if the weather is suitable, shearing should be done in four or six days. In the. meantime, Gea. Oudinot husWcn reinforced by many thousand tnwps, and he Iris ir.Ublv new a well appofnied army of 20.000 men irvd-r his command hut the enthusiasm of the Romans is raised to the highest pitch, and if a single banded or combined attempt to bombard and take Rome by storm could be made, the defence of the city by means of barricades and by tbe courage the people, will be so well maintained, that the Austrians are by no means certain of success.

All accounts concur that it will be impossible to restore the temporal power of the Pope in sny We have before us roost frightful details; Priests hare been dragged forth from their hiding places by the put to death their bodies have been hacked into the smallest pieces, and then cast into the Tiber. The combined powers of Europe will scarcely be able even to set op his Holiness again on the throne of the Vatican." The tide of feeling has overflowed him, and the Romans seem now bent on excluding sacerdotal political authority forever. Intelligence by telegraph has been received from Gen. Oudinot, to'the 13th May, at which time there was a strong probability that the French troops would be permitted to enter Rome immediately, without opposition. In the General's despatch, he says, Serious propositions are made to me.

We are already the anchors of safety to the Romans." Russia. The Emperor reached St. Petersburgh from Moscow on the 1st instant. There had already marched into Gallacia, en route for Hungary to the assistance of the Aostrians, 120,000 Russians, with 350 cannon, and 27,000 cavalry. Gen.

Bern is well prepared to give them a warm reception in Transylvania, and there will bo warm work before it is over. Germany. Prussia has followed the lead of Aos-tria, and withdrawn her delegates from Frankfort. The other principal powers will now doubtless do the same. The Grand Duke ol Baden has been obliged to fly from his capital whilst in Elberfield, Dussel-dorf, Ilagin, Osclchu, and in all the market towns in Rheuish Prussia, the insurgents have erected barricades, and made the constitution a pretence for a tumult.

Paris Election. According to returns received up to midnight, on Thursday, the 17th, the returus show the election of 15 Socialist candidates. According to another statement it would appear that 0 Socialist candidates and 19 Moderates had been elected. The Proposed Impeachment or the French Ministry. A careful inspection of the latest news from the French Capital, strengthens the opinion that the opposition in the National Assembly seriously contemplated an impeachment of the Ministry, and an intimation is also thrown out that the government on its part, may reproduce the scene of the 18th Brumaire, by driving out the refractory Legislature from their Hall of Assembly at the point of the bayonet, depending upon the Bonaparte feeling of the country to return a majority of a more favorable character.

Another account says, that in case any serious attempt wis made to overthrow the Ministry and the President, the Ministerial party would retire from the Assembly, leaving the hostile party only 400 members out of 700 500 members being required to legalize a vote. It is said that M. Marrast, President of tho Assembly had made a demand upon General Changarnici for a body of troops of the line to be placed under his orders, which had been refused. The correspondent of the London Globe says If M. Marrast has made such a demand, it could be for no other purpose than to strengthen the party in the Chamber opposed to the President of the Republic, and by having a large force under his orders, to proceed, if necessary, even to the arrest of the Chief Magistrate.

Traveller. Canada Affairs. Details of the outbreak in Canada were laid belore Parliament on the 15th, which elicited some discussion, of no importance beyond the fact that the government evinced a determination to sustain Lord Elgin. Earl Grey, in alluding to Lord Elgin's despatch, said it would show that he acted throughout with his accustomed judgment, moderation and good sense, and that he was fully prepared to justify and take the responsibility of any step of Lord Elgin. St.

Louis, June 2. The conclusion of Senator Uenion's speech -is just published, and is very volu. -minous. The principal point in it, is his advocacy of the VVilmot Proviso, which he regards as true Jefler-aonian doctrine. New York, Sunday evening.

Delegates to the" Vermont General Convention, are requested, as they arrive iti town, to call at the Vestry of the Congregational church, where they will, find the Committee of reception in attendance to wait upon them. W. St. Johnsbury, June 1st, 1849. A 2t-r Care should be taken to keep the fleeces clean, and do them op in good shape, exposing the finest portion of the fleece as much as convenient.

If yoa have spring lags it will be deemed just to pot an equal quantity into each fleece, after cleansing the same. Keep out all unwashed tags and pulled wool. Nothing but merchantable wool should be put into the fleeces.

It is desirable all wool should be depos found it vety difficult to get taea to go out in the capacity of missionaries, aud for this reason have fre-rtuently employed Germans and Prussian iu their service. This baa not been the case ho ever with the Itndoft Mikr.ry Society vthtch is supported By This toriety has always found men enough to labor in foteign fields from amongst the English and Scotch evangelical chiirchcs. ft is only within a few years that any common yrl-rx 1 system has been to operation in any part of tlxi JJriiislt possessions. Now the people of England Scotland, and Ireland, all have one in more or less successful operation. In Scotland there are about 1000 parishes, in each of hich is a school taught by a graduate of one the universities.

In the matter of higher education liiero has not been so great remissness, as tbe universities ol Oxford and Cambridge have fur many years been witnesses. There is also now a university in London. Scotland lias four universities, and Ireland one. The British Parliament has about C50 members in racb louse, making in all about 1300 members. Very many of them are men of talents, and talents highly cultivated but in point of oratory as public speakers, none of them are equal to some men iu our own Congress.

As legislators they have not their superiors in any In patriotism tbe English set a very commendable example to all other nations. They have a high regard for national honor, and when anything comes op that touches that, smaller matters are laid aside and all stand shoulder to shoulder. Liverpool is very much like any of our cities, and has nothing particularly interesting in it, except its very extensive stone docks fur the shipping. London bas much to interest a stranger. It fa about eight miles long and six wide, and contains a population of near two millions, and the suburbs contain another making not less than three millions of people within ten miles of the centre of the city where the Tower stands.

This Tower was built in the middle ages fot the defence of the city, and is a massive building of atone. Of the scenes that have transpired in it, there is no occasion to make mention in this place. The city is built of brick, and recently a whitish brick is used in building instead of reddish as formerly. The city is probably increasing as fast now as it ever has been. It is extending in all directions.

The streets extending into the country are lined with homes for five or six miles from tbe city. Tbe river is about one-filth of a mile wide and its shores lined with shipping. The Great Tunnel under it some distance cast of any of the bridges, and docs not ss yet prove to he a very profitable concern. Several railroads peceirate the city qoile a distance. The one leading to the Blackwell, some eight or ten miles east of the city, extends nearly to tbe Tower.

It cost more money in proportion to its length than any other, and is more 'profitable than any other. Cars leave the depot every five minutes. The streets in the older pans of the city are very irregular and narrow but in the newer pat is they are wider and laid out in more regular orJer. It is a very difficult matter to see the city from any eminence, and it can only be done for a short time after daylight before the fires are kindled in the morning, the smoke from which entirely obscures tbe view the rest of the day. At this hour a good view of the city may be obtained from the top of the Tower, or from tbe top of a hill in the northwest part of the town.

The Parks are numerous some of them contain 400 acres or more. Edinburgh is a large city and celebrated for its literary advantages. It is a city of more education probably than any other in the world. It was origin-wily boilt apon very uneven ground. Three large ridges run from cast to west tbroogh h.

sod were so high that bridges were built over the vallies between them, so high as to pass over the tops of the houses. Tbe central ridge terminates at its western extremity in a high precipitous rock apou which the castle stands, and to the east it slope off to the plain from which arise abruptly the three rocky eminences called Arlhuts Seat, 800 feel high, Salisbury Crag, and Calton Hill. Its early history is lost, but as early as the 9ib century it was a town of some note. The older parts of the town are built of rough stone. The newer parts lie to the north and are built of hewn stone.

It is about one and a half miles from the Fnih of Forth on the sooth side of h. This position was probably preferred to one directly upon its banks on account of its greater safety from the attacks of pirates who in early periods infested those paits. Of the public buildings in tbe city, the castle is the most remarkable. It is situated at tbe western extremity of the old town, os a ragged rock which rises on three sides from a level plain nearly 200 feet. At the eastern extremity of the town stands the palace and Abbey of Holy rood, fur several centuries the residence of the monarchs of Scotland.

The Protestant cemetery, at the foot of Girod street is about two feel under water, but Mr. Blakesley, the superintendent, has provided scaffolding and bridges.by which the coramuuications through the grounds are kept open, and burials can proceed without much Th9 Potter's Field is also flooded.

The tops of same of the graves are barely discern able above the water, and in stepping over them, the foot sinks until it meets the coffin below. A largo portion of St. Patrick's, and even of the Fireman's, is also flooded, and the Israelites' cemetery is several feet under water. This is particularly unfortunate to oor Hebrew friends, as their religion requires that their dead should be buried under the ground. We understand, however, that they have made temporary arrangement with the sexton ol the Protestant cemetery to have the bodies of their brethren deposited in vaults in the Protestant graveyard until the flood has left their own cemetery.

N. O.Delta, ISihull. Michigan Flour for the VermonUrs. Since the first shipment of flour from this city, via the St. Lawrence and railroad to St.

It is said to be a much quicker route than the Erie and Champlain Canals and altogether We heard yesterday, of a large order, at a price named, for flour, to go by this route to Vermont. Michigan floor stands No. 1 in that market, which shows that the Yankees know how to appreciate good eating. If; lhey i only had some little knick-knacks to dicker with our Wolverines for flour, a brisk business might be done.

Companies were leaving daily for the diggings, and miners were returning with the product of their labors. The fare to Sutter's foit was from $25 to $50, according to the style of conveyance. Many of the gamblers who followed the army in Mexico, are in California, fleecing the successful diggers. There were but few offences of any kind, owing to the severity of the punishment.

This has been attributed, and no donbt correctly, to the free and universal ose of quick-lime, fresh from the kilns, which was scattered through the gutters, privies and yards.

In the subject of this notice, the gentler and retiring virtues, which lend the most attractive charm to female character, filling up with untold richness the social, the conjugal and maternal relations, were eminently exemplified; The tranquilizing, sustaining power of religion under great suffering, and in prospect of death, was also very manifest.

No murmur or repining was heard during a distressing illness of about two weeks. There was, on the contrary, an evident effort to suppress of lender regard to her atlendants, and a desire to soothe, the bleeding hearts of her children and sorrow-stricken companion.
