I WASHINGTON Cl TV, May 10.
■ Speculation was so rife last night regarding the
■Cabinet, that 1 must add to my letter of yesterday,
Biy stating what are the prevalent opinions of the
■mowing ones. Some go as far as to say that there
Bn ill he a total breaking up of the present Cabinet.
Bl'liree oUthe Secretaries concerned, are all that 1
{■•an speak of positively. Among them are Messrs.
■Baubling, Woodbury and Kendall—and it is said
■Mr. Forsyth’s letter is now before the President also.
■Mr. Kendall goes to Spain, in place of Major Eaton,
Bn> ing to ill health. Some time ago, I furnished you
Borne strong animadversions on the Secretary of the
■Navy. Since that time, a request has been made to
MhePresident by nearly onehundredDeraocratic niem-
Biers of Congress to have him removed, and place
Bleu. McCoy, of North Carolina, in his place—this
Bequest will doubtless cause his immediate rcsigna-
Bian. The post office department w ill be under the
■control of Major Hobby, until things assume a better
■aspect. The Treasury will be vacated by Mr.
■\\ oodbury’s Russian appointment, and Mr. John
■W. Jones, ot the House, is spoken of as his succssor.
■The state department will probably be filled by Gen.
■Dix, of New York,one of the oldest and firmest dem-
JJ|oc rats of the Empire. State, should Mr. Forsyth’s
II resignation not be withdrawn.
1 But these appointments are mere surmises, and
■ some of them, though given me by members of the
■ upper House, do not strike me as being correct at
Rifnis time,inasmuch as Pennsylvania must come in
■for one of the Departments—and probably Messrs.
■Dallas or Ingham w ill once more devote their ser
■jL ices to the good of their country, by taking one ol
Bull must close with the mail.
i WASHINGTON, May 14.
■ * The Bankrupt Bill has been undergoing discus
M ' lion in the Senate, and every nook and corner was
I rowded from the lobby to the gallery. Air. Crit
I ( enden, of Kentucky, was using his powers of satin
■ ?. rcmendously against the bill, and was very seven
Kli pou Air. Wall, of New Jersey, the chairman ofthi
3 Committee that reported the measure. The latte
I Ilk leg nested at one time an opportunity to deny som.
ill misstatements of the Kentucky Senator, bu
it was refused by him, as Mr. C. wanted to let the
young ladies in the gallery have the benefit of his
rhetorical flourishes. During the morning hour,
the henate passed a rcsoiutian to meet hereafter at 11
o clock. It would have been much better if Gov.
Lumpkin’s resolution had been adopted in the first
place to adjourn on the Ist or 15th of June, as eve
ry body is getting tired of staying here, and it is pro
bable that the ordinary business of lbs session will
occupy the latest period mentioned. In fact,it mav be
said, that vve have just commenced business, for the
gland topic of discussion—the Sub-Treasury—will
not be reached for a week, although it was expected
to be taken up to-day or to-morrow.
In the House, we have had a very strong discus
sion about Printing, Mr. Black, of Georgia, sup
porting the report of the majority, and Mr. Evans,
of Maine, that of the minority of the Committee. The
forte ofMr. Black lies particularly in debate, and
he is lonjonrs pret on almost any subject, as the
records of the session will testify. On this occasion,
he acquitted himself with distinguished ability, in
carrying out a motto seldom practised now-a-days,
of “ Princijna non homines," and exposed, in glaring
colors, the efforts of the Federal member from Maine
to reduce the prices of printing for this session, in
order prospectively to bring them hack to tiie old
standard, if by any chicanery, a Whirling might
hereafter obtain the public printing. Georgia lias
I just cause to fie proud of a man, who,throwing aside
all personal and party predilections, holds fast by
that which is good. The cloud which actuates a
spirit to pursue this principle, must always find a
response in the breasts of a free people, as 1 trust
your fourth of July Convention will prove.
WASHINGTON, May 15.
The printing business was passsd informally on
yesterday, in ord 'r that the Report of the Committee
on pugilism should he considered. Mr. Underwood,
of Kentucky, submitted a set of weak resolutions,and
the House have directed him to take them hack, and
fix some definite punishment on the convicts.
The bankrupt law still continues to occupy the
Senate, and it is now pretty well ascertained, that it
will not pass.

In the Mouse of Representatives to-day, the bill

by Air. Holmes, in opposition to tiie bill, it was fi
nally passed, on yeas, and yeas, by a vote of 122 to

OBITUARY.— Died at Ins residence in this place, on
the 11 th iust. General BURWELL POPE, in the 50th year
1 of his age. The death of but few individuals, could have
i awakened keener regrets, or involved a more serious loss
to tiie community. The many noble and generous quali
-1 lies, that distinguished the character of General Pope—
i devoted patriotism—his active and disinterested benevo
lence—his unbending integrity—his ardent and unaffected
pictv—his scrupulous and aflectionate discharge of the va
rious and endearing relations of husband, father and mas
>f ter—the warmth and fidelity of his friendship—have dif
fused among all classes of our society, the liveliest sorrow
for his demise. A bereaved widow’s heart is pierced with
aa guish unutterable—orphans bewail a loss, to them,
irreparable— servants lament a master, proverbially hu
mane and indulgent, almost to a fault—the Methodist
lt- Church, of which be was many years an acceptable mem
-- her. grieve for the separation from them, of a beloved
.g brother, who was ever active and zealous, iu exteudiugthe
boundaries of his Master’s kingdom on earth, and his sur
e viving friends will to the last moment of their existence,
ic deplore their privation of one whose attachment to them.
jj. shone but the brighter and purer from every ordeal, to
which it was subjected. Os his devotion to his country,
ie and his readiness to perii his all in defence of her rights and
her honor, the most conclusive proofs can be exhibited.—

Long Cotton, at the advance quoted in our last, which es- !
tabiishes an improvement of la 2c. pe r lh. on this descrip- I

About 3100 bushels \ irginia Oats have also come to hand, ' t
and been taken at 29 cents per bushel. No Hay or Peas •
have been received since our last—quotations for these ar
ticles are therefore nominal.
Groceries. —Ourgrocery market the past week has been i
very dull. At auction, about 90 hhds. Muscovado Sugar |
were taken at prices ranging from 6 to 64 ets. per lb.; 116 j

making a red action in stock of 8995 bales, and leaving «n
hand inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 12th
instant,*a stock of 190,072 bales.
Since our review of Saturday morning last, the transac
tions in Cotton have been on a very moderate scale—in
deed, the market for the inferior and middling qualities has
been excessively dull, smd sales of any magnitude could
not bo effected unless holders would consent to accept
lower rates than they have yet show n any disposition to do.
The demand lor tiie finergrades, however, continues pret
ty active, and transactions are only limited in consequence
of the very small supply on the market, the stock, which is
tolerably fair, being composed in a great measure of the
lower descriptions. Os strictly choice Cottons the market
j is at the moment completely hare; and parcels of this kind
if offered, would readily command 11 toll; cents. Our
| quotations for the inferior and middling sorts, remain the
• same as previous!;', and they are barely sustained, hut for
j fair qualities above, they have been advanced a quarter of
j a cent. The sales during the three days only amount to j
| 5500 bales, the quotations ranging from 3 to 11 ! cents.

Sugar. — Louisiana. —There has been only a moderate
demand, during the last few days, and the stock on the Le
vee is again increased by more liberal supplies. Several
parcels, how ever, have been brought from plantation ex
pressly for transhipment to the north. In regard to prices
the market remains about the same as at the date of our last
report. Most of the sales have been at 3' at 4 ets , though
our extremes have been reached in some instances. Strict
ly prime Sugars continue scarce. We are not advised of j
any further transactions on plantation.

our former quotations unchanged. The sales embrace 1000
bales Upland and Florida at 64 a 9'; 400 Mobile, 64 a 10;
aud 300 New r Orleans, 7 a 94 cents per lb.

continued inactive; there are, however, hut few' arrivals,

which be now resides—situated about 35 miles southeast'
from Montgomery, 18 miles southwest from Tuskegce,
within 20 miles of the Montgomery and West Point Rail
Road.
The settlement comprises upwards of 2000 acres of the
best Cotton anil Corn land, about 600 of which is cleared
and under good fences; all useful buildings, such as negro
Houses, Cribs, two Gin Houses, and twoScrews. The dif
ficulty of procuring eligible situations for a comfortable
residence for families, and fine w ell and spring free stone
water, on the prairies; is generally known-—but this situa
tion presents almost an isolated exception to this difficulty,
as there are three permanent wells, and two springs of ex
cellent free stone w ater, and a sand hill rises in the imme
diate vicinity of this fine body of land, forming an area of
thirty acres or more, on which elevation a comfortable
Dwelling House, and all the necessary outbuilding are sit
uated, near the spring and well. Also, a level and spacious
vegetable flower garden, and an orchard cultivated with
great labor and taste for the past six years,containing every
variety of fruit trees.
The plantation is well calculated for two settlements, as
the wells of water are far enough apart.
Persons wishing a settlement, combining more advan
tages than ana other in the county, arc invited to call and
examine the premises,as lam determined to sell, and am
prepared to make the terms so reasonable that an approved
purchaser could not fail to be satisfied with them.
Possession given at any time desired by the purchaser.
