WASHINGTON, Wednesday Night, March l.
This has been busy and noisy day ia the House.
The Senate has aborcd most diligently, sitting
steadily from ten o'clock in the morning till seven
in the evening. Alarse number OF bills, both pub
lie and private were disposed of by the Senate to-
day. and believe there will be but few los, fer
wan, OF time, as is usual at the close of a short
session No disposition has been made OF the va
rious nominations peading in the Senate. Every
body i, on the qui rirs in regard to them, and
those cxpcc.ed 10 be made before the Senate ad-
journs. 1t seems tha, Mr. FORWARDS premature
resignation has thrown all the Captains arrange
ments ia,o confusion, for Mr.. SPENCER, who was
to 60 into the Treasury dares not tru.. himself IN
the hands of the Senate. ii Is now constituted,
50 that some other person must De selected tor that
place TO serve at least until Congress shall! have
adjourned.


The lntellisencer stated this morning that MIR.
FORWARD had withdrawn his letter of resignation
Tor the present, but that staemen, is known to be
incorrect. The resignation has not been with
drawn, nor will it be. II Is generally believed
that MIR. CUSHING will go into ,he Treasury, and
that his nomination Will be sent in to-morrow :
but whether this arrangement is to be permanent,
ouy to help Mr.. SPENCER out of the dliicul,y,
cannot be easily determined at present. II Cush.
lsG is TO remain in the Treasury, WEBsTER must
walk the plank; fer two Cabinet officers from oae
State will never answer, (uuless, indeed, they De
both from Firgtat., for that SlaIe has pre-
scrptive right to any thing and every thing in the
way OF ofiice.)


1t is said BY many tha, CUSHING will be trans
ferred from the Treasury 10 the State DspartmeA,
Gene iato the Treasury according to lhe orig snsl
design, and the PoRTEs interest IN Pennsylvsnis
De secured By the b-stowz zieni of the War Depar,-
ment Another version IS, that CUSHING will be
transferred from the Treasury to the Navy Depait-
rsent. and UrsAuR to ihe Department of STATE.
WEBSTER going out to grass, or wherever they can
hhd place for him. This however, is hardly pro-
bebie, inasmuch as the transfer from the Treasury
TO tiie Navy Department, would be step down
wards in office 10 which an aspiring gentleman
like Mr.. CusHlSG would no, willingly submit.


The nomination OF Mr. WISE has not vet been
acted uron farther than It's mere reference to the
Committee of Foreign Affairs. Il seems 10 be the
general impression that he viii be confirmed,
though j, Is difficult 10 discover any good reason
why be should not De promptly rejected. The
man does no, possess any one qualification for
such pest. He has neither learning, diplomatic
talent, nor /. knowledge Of the usases of rchaed
society. But he has earned his reward.


Mr.. WEssTkR is very desirous the. Congress
provide foF SPecisi Mission TO England; bus II
will no. be done. MAsHA1rAS.
