 ''I THINGS AT WASHINGTON. ef '7az5t.o

 The correspondent of the Boston Daily Maj has the following concerning matters and things at Washington. 5'f' .a n1a-: s.s a5

 The political cauldron is boiling hot. Mir. Rives' Letter has come upon us like clap of thunder !~ It is not merely as speaking the sentiments of Mr. Rives himself, that gives 1t consequence, inGuen- tiA as that gentleman certainly is; bat 1t is well understood here that he speaks not netely fer himself, but for nearly the entire of the conserya= tive party-that party which, m lS1o, threw it's weight on the side of the whigs, ard helped to- swell the civic triumph of Gen.. Harrison; but which has since been considered as leaning towards it's first love, if not actually joining hand Ill hand with the Democracy. It IS also understood here that the administration will "folloW in the foot steps" of MT, Rves, and give its 'enadinsg lntsU- ence, small though it be. for MT. Clay: To this; course, Mr. Webster has already pledged himselfli and Spencer is begging hard to be taking again in- to the Whig ranks. How sincere he is in this mat ter, beyond his hopes of being confirmed to the Supreme Bench, you can judge quite as well as I can. fgaE r.8s,g @rfe @.5 IF ,...a zt f.

 The President himself, having, from necessity, ssput away ambition, ,"-shat is, having given up all hope of obtaining nomination from either paF- ty for reelection to the place he now fills, makes himself very comfortable about political mattcrs. and says < he don't Care which party is in tie as- capdant.' The leading democrats, he says, have deceived him in order to, obtain otlice and the Whgs have abused him because he chose to turn, his back upon them. after they had eic"tcd nm lie says, however, he will turn no more Na'gs from office, even if they smell strong of Clay as an unburnt brick; and that, if the Senate does not confirm his democratic, nominations, he will give them new set of Wings. There arc, however,, some considerations which induce the Senate to- move very cautiously. Flcts and counter ptets are the order of the day. The Presidents seeming acquescence to the wishes of the Senate is viewed with distrust and suspicion. The creatures who hang and lawn around him are known to be Wisslly mercenary and unprincipled; and depend upon it

 The protracted investigation in relation to the mgPeS @ Staten sand FoH Ra be 6ssn s fully committed for trial. A correspondent of the New York True Sun, gives the following particu- lars of the closing scenes at Port Richmond: ftf

 There was quite scene in the Court room on Monday evening. Eliza Ann Bodine came In Just as her mother was going out in the custody of the Sheriff. Mother and daughter rushed into each otA- erss arms, and wept and sobbed convulsively for several minutes. Despite the general prejudice against the prisoner, the whole audience was mcy- ed and there were tears on many rough and weather worn cheek in the crowd stG

 Albert Bodine the son of the prisoner, fine in- tclligent lad of '17, was put upon the stand and sworn. He shook hands with the wretched mother before commencing his testimony, and the tears ran down his cheeks in streams. Polly seemed built tie affected Albert's testimony for some time was nearly the same as on his former examination, but

 

 ing to the crimination of Waite eai .azi !. The Commissioner proceeded to recapitulate the principal points of the testimony, to show its per- feet consistency and connexions and its irresistible tendency to the suspicion that the prisoner, Polly Bcdine, was party to the crimes of murder and arson. iHH hf sRp # js }'tgt ritsaf sa " odt a3

 Polly displayed no emotion at the announcement. She was conveyed back to Richmond jail in charge of the officers ot the Court of Oyer and Ierminer of this county, to be held believed in August next. ' Probably both prisoners will be transferred to New York or Brooklyn, for safe keeping.

Amelia Norman came directly from the prison to my house. which she hos never left for single moment except under my own protection. Her health is feeble, her mind bewildered, and her spirits exceedingly depressed. l appeal to the manliness of New York editors to forbear inserting unfounded, perhaps malicious, rue m6rs, concerning this poor, heart broken girl. l
