THE CINEF-JUSTIOESTIY, Tho excitoment regarding the confirmation of ' Caleb Cushing bas deopened, whilo it is not so toud and noisy ne it was last night, whon it wmay bo said it ronched its Leight. While tho opposition to the confirmation bas not perceptibly increased, it has g:vnomu Srmer and more decided. As was atafed lost night, the main reason alleged for rejecting the noinisation is that Cushing is not a Repnblican, and that the results of the war are liablo to bo frittered away by ‘his ndverso rulings, should he ronch the Buuch, His 8go, his character, his privato lifo, and all that is known of thio man in commonted on quite reoly, but othor considerations sink into insigniicance by the eide of the political oo, Nothing but #poculation can bo had a8 to the result pf the mnomination, The nfimoumon is formiduble, and will ‘not be .ensily overcome, Xverybody fecls called upon to_oldctioncer for ono gido or the othor.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

Houry O, Badgor, _who residos at No. 84 Nowbury stroot, wora much alarmod, lato Tucsday afternoon, by the con- tents of sovoral lottors which woro ovidently in heor own bndvriting, nnd from the purport of which it was manifost that she meditated suicide, JMrs, Badgoer hid been about her accustomed duties all this day—conducting hor private school, ete.—and up to about ¥ o'clock, when she was lnat seon, nothing had been noticed in her mannor to excite suspicion, although sho had ovinced symptoms of “considerable mental depression of late, and had beon slightly indis~ posed for sovaral days. After leaving home sho went to Measrs, Schoefihoff & Moeller's bookatoro, 40 Winter strect, but only romained hera for u short time. Irom here nil trace of her courso is lost, but thore waw another letter received from ‘her, bearing tho stamp of tho central Post-Ofice, and matked *§ F. m." proves hor to have hoen u the city about that time, and from the bold, free and porfectly oasy stylo of tho su- porscription, it is hard to beliove that the writor was at thnt momont moditating self-destruction. Yat. auch still sooms to have boon her dotermina~ tion, for I this lattor, addrassad %o her oldost «hild, Theodore, & boy of about1l yoars, she en~ closod herring and & small amount of money which sho had mneglected to Jeave at hor home wupon firat quitting it. This letter was writtcn upon half of o shoot of com- mercial nots papor, bearing as a trado-mark a stamp representing the Westorn Hemlu[:lmw. ‘I'he envelope sas of palo bufl, of the usuul busi- noss slzo, aud two postage stamps upon it were oach of tho ong cent donomination, ~ Tho relg- tives and fiends of the missing lady are anxious to know wherd theso articles were procured, as that wonld donbtless throw somo light upon tho course sho intended purauing, if nothing more, As roon as the disappoarance of Mrs Badger was known to hier friends, active inquiries were set on foot to find her, and tho assistance of tlo po- lico was pmmptl{ called in, aud Doputy-Chief Quinn at onco telegraplied to theseveral districts bordoting o the Back Bay and Charles River, detailing all the resorve force to make o search for the missing Indy, which has been prosecuted with diligonce under his direction to tho presont writing without success, Careful inquiries wore likowiao mado nt the various railrond stations, but, although occasionally a ray of hope would orige'from tho slory of somo attacho, nothing was learned to calm the terriblo foar which pos- scssed tho minds of the sockers. Mra, Badger wan about 40 vears of age, a littlo sbove tho miedium leight, nud wore a_wine-colored poplin dress and o water-proof. She also had ou a black velvet hut; but this custom was not distinctive cnough to attract attontion, and the porfectly mothodical manner of the lady In arranging her affairs before leaving homo, ‘a8 well as the col- lected style in which her Jast letter was written, would Jeave littlo reason to helieve that hor setion was at any timo tioticonblo or singular. Of courae, one of the firat quostions whick pre- sents itself to an inquirdiig mind s, why has this Iameutable ovent occurred, and lioro arises what seoms now {o be an almost inexplicablo mystory. That ber family relations wore ploasaut seonis assurod ; indeed, in one of her last lottors, which was sddressied to her husband, she spenks to him in o ost afiectionaio munner, without upbraid- ing or roproach of any kind, and in & lelter writ- teu to Lier brother at tho same time sho has only words of the kindest import to uge towsrds hor family and friends. Her social relations seem to have all been of an exceptionally plessunt char- acter, nnd that sho was highly respected by Ler " acquointauces 18 munifest 1rom the fact that ot the lust city election she was triumphuntly made a member of the Boston School Committos ; and by o ma- Jority of wlieh any candidate ‘might well bo proud, FHer frieuds say that thoro is o renson Tor thinking that this ‘innovation bas had any bad effect upon her.
