 THE NEXT CABlNET.--Most of the po- litical papers are busying themselves with sspcculations on the subject of the forma- lion ef the next cabinet. Among the can- ddates are named the following:

 State Department. Mr Livingston, MT Van Buren.

 Navy Department. Mir Woodbury.

 War Department. Gov. Cass, Colonel Drayton, Mr. Benton.

 Treasury Department. Mir IazeweIi, Gen Bernard, Mir Cheeves.

 Attorney General. Mr Berrian. Mr P. r. Barbour.
