We have collected $375.20, in the different Wards of our city, of which $241.00 have been appro priated to the parent Society. Now, while it is matter of heartfelt regret with us that we have done so little in the dissemination of God's Word, still we should not be discern., aged ; as the Author of Revelation frequently blesses, in an eminent, degree the most feeble in strumentalities; and such is the efficacy of his Word, when accompanied by his Spirit, that even the smallest portion of it is able to make wise unto salvation. By our connexion with the American Bible So ciety, we have our sphere of operations extended wide as the limits of the habitable work! ; and feeble as our efforts may seem, they are felt even in those lands which are just emerging from the darkness of heathenism and superstition, end on which the Sun of Righteousness is just beginning to shed his cheering beams. Who; then, can esti mate the mighty ingathering which will be made in the harvest time of eternity, from the good seed which we, haVe 'disseminated'during: that year, the Anniversary of which we are not , / met to celebrate !

As a token of •Mr. Buchanan's respect for the chivalry of South Carolina, he- has tendered the , Mission to Spain to Hon. F. W. Pickens, who in formed the House of Itepresentatives, on one co radon, that he was " horn insensible to fear." Mr. Dodge, who is now at Madrid, must, there fore, learn walk Spanish, though he has never attempted to talk it. The wags here say that his credentials were presented in Chociaw, it being the language in which he was most proficient; and as the immaculate Isabella answered in that of the House of Aragoa and CaStile, - they were mutually pleased and gratified with each other's addreases. . _ Mr. itianypenny, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, threw up his post 'in a huff, the other day, not entirely after the fashion of office holders 'generally, who are peculiarly' blessed with singular submission, forbearance, and othei meek virtues. Congress passed' an act allowing Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Indiana, compensiition. as an agent for a certain tribe of Indians. The Commiseioner so construed the law as to amount to a denial of justice, and when Mr. Cobb came in he ordered the money to be paid.' Whereriken the man of many, Pennies posted a resignation,. and has become one of us private patriots, who. are evidently getting into the majority, although , we get none of the pickings. After much tribulation, the Union has at length changed hands, and Mr. Appleton: is .appointed Assistant Secretary of State. To make thscom pulsory transition acceptable to his predecessor, it is announced that Gen. Thomas ." iesigned.": So he did; but he only resigned to his fate. The' 'very day before the President deteithined Upon his removal, Gen. Cass assured him not only that he should retain the position, but elaborated in detail the manner in which the duties of the office were to be distributed and conducted. This little fact illustraies ihat sort of relations sub- sist between the President and the Premier, and. in what estimation the latter must be held by the former. • ,The plain truth is, Gen.. Cass has fallen: far below expectation in this office, and .Mr. Buchanan found it absolutely necessary to putt some one in the second place to wham his views( could be communicated without reserve, and who; stood tohim in the" Personal relation of intimatd ! friendship. This . is the milk . in' the cocoanut, whatever-may be affected to the. contrary.. Al; the stories about Gen. Thomas getting a.for. sign Mission < are. weak inventions:- not the fabhion here' to turn a man out of bent, place, in order to turn him into another, unlee he happens to be.in special good odor, which thi gentleman is not at the White -House. After all the flourish _ . made over the , appointi meet of -Mr. Welker as Governer of liansast there is a possible contingency that he may no( go there at all. While the place pinata' semi inducements, and his ambition has been flattere with political prospects, still, the 'complications] responsibilities,, and _cares which encompass itj are not encouraging or pleasant anticipations t realize. He is not a decisive man in the 14 1 4 sense, but rather of a visionary turn; indispose-I to encounter the stern and praetical,•neceesitlei -that must be expected in that Territory. Beeidel he has 'a strong desirnfor . another,field.of operal tions, such as is now dawning in. China.

Thus far no decision has bee ; I made by the Administration; and the 'turn t . events is watched with no little interest. Washington Correspondence: WASIIINGTON CITY.

The phy sicians who attended her, told me that &portion cif one Of her lungs was gone. She had also sore neas of the throk several dyspeptic symptoms , and other difficulties," - which' seriously' ooMpli catedlhe ease. When I. made.these' statements to Dr. Fitch, he at the first entirely• declined treating hei r ; hut a few dais after, at my urgent. request, promised to do what be could, and sent me, the necessary Medicines ' including inhaling apparatus, &a., &C., with directions for diet, bathing, friction, &c.

In the course of a •few weeks. to, the astonish ment of all, she was able to ride out; A her cough soon after left her, and she was free from it for the remainder of the Summer,. and continued withoutOongh 'for the greater part of the.
