Winthrop. This distinguished whig, the speaker of the last House of Representatives, was renominated for Congress from the Boston District on Friday night last. The nomination was at first declined, in accordance to a previous intimation publically given, but for good and sufficient reasons Mr. Winthrop has reversed his decision, and has again, though very reluctantly, after nine years service in the House of Representatives, assented to the nomination. Two great men dead. The Boston Atlas announces the decease of Jeremiah Mason and William Lawrence, two of the oldestand most rmerated citizens of Boston. trnrGen. Leslie Combs says the first SubTreasurer was the man mentioned in Scripture who received the one 'talent and instead of applying it to some good use, in order to increase its value, weut and hid it in the earth, something after the prese nt fashion of locking up money in a Sub-Treasury vault. He was sentenced to be "cast into outer darkness' for his laziness a fate to which modern Sub Treasurers are doomed. Circumstanced alter Cases. President Polk removes Mr. B. F. Butler fur inteifer ring in politics as a Barnburner, but deems it no offence that Mr. Commissioner Burke, of the Patent office, and Second Assisi ant Postmaster General Brown, who receives Varies of &3,000a year, form with Seuator Foote the general committee of the Locofocu party, who from Washington City, direct all the movements of the campaign.

(Q-In the middle ages, in France, a person convicted of being a calumniator, was con I mned to place himself on all fours; and bark like a dog for a quarter of an hour. If this custom was adopted at the present dar, we are afraid there would be more bow-wowing than the public mind would find agreeable. fJC5Gutta Percha has been used with great success in making hats.

Dr. Charles Leib, late Secretary of the Cass Club at Pottsville, Pa., baa renounced the cause, and declared fur Taylor and Fillmore. Gen. Tailor. Some of our Locofoco friends seem disposed to speak favorably of Gm. Taylor's honesty, but insist that he don't know enough of civil affairs to make a President. We never hear such nonsense, but we are re minded of a remark made by a brave old vol unteer. in reply to the same assertion. "What," said he, "Old Zack uot kuow enough to make a President? Why, the old man has enough of good hard, sound sense in him to make half a dozen as good Presidents as Jimmy Polk, and then out ot the scraps and fragm uts you might make a belter one than ever Ltwis Cass could oe. The old soldier was right and the people know it. beneca UAig. Half and Half. We heard a good one a few days since of an old German woman, who keeps an inn somewnere in me wnig county ot Somerset. Be it remembered that, though the widow was cute enough in her particular line ahe was considerably out of sorts in political matters. "Have you any Cass men in this neighborhood? niquired a traveller, as he siphi last cuo of coffee. 'Nae." reolied trie avva - j- I widow, "nae Cash men." "All Taylor men, I suppose, then," said the stranger.

I should not have troubled you Mr. Editor, villi these rcrmrks, had u not been for an editorial article in Fridays paper of the Deir.craf, the following is an extract.

"I hey have experienced loo much of whiggery,tlm is atis locracy, in ihe ld country, We do not pretend to be judges of the proper significa ion of the different terms he uses, but we um?t do justice by saving, that the greaiest autocracy we hafo seen since we left tie "old country was in ihe course of the pres ent admiiiistraliun,and in Van Buren reign. which presents a tearful sample of prodio ili y and trickety, of thirst for conquest and an undue exercise ot ihe veto powerthe rue gei.ns, not of aristocracy only but of despotism.

WILLIAM HUGHES, oct 24. Corner Main Sc Second streets. THE NINTH WONDER of the WORLD! THIS (jR EAT EST WONDER OF THE DAY Was discovered in 1310. in asavosestate, on the island of Borneo; and supposed to have been worshipped as a deity, by the inhabitants! Trie following are ihe opinions of medical men. regarding the structure and combination of the wild nondescript, "CASPER II AUSSER." Judged by naturalis! to be about 40 years of age. Its weight is 'JO pounds. Its mode of trave'Iing as desigued by nature is on all fours. I have carefully evamined CA&PER IIAUS3ER, now in possession of Dr. Si on, and look upon him ns the greatest living curiosity of the age. In him there seems to a blending of the human and brute creations. In formation, the head and face . Mallay, the upper and lower extremities approximate nearer lo ihose of the Ourani; Outang than any other animal. The animal organs are well developed, the intellectual weak, and deficient. WILLIAM BAYLE, M. D. Oakland, Mi ..Dc. 12th, 1843. At a mectinc ot the Board of Toronto, U. C. We examined the above curiosity, and find it a departure from both the Human and Animal creation, ard nothing but a combination ot the human and lower race, ami a struggle lor predomination could have produced such a wonderful creature.
