. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Next Opposition Presidential Cafidi- date.—The movements of the straight Whigs of the North, on which we commented at some length yesterday, have more in them than simply a disposition to regist the eneroach- ments of Republicanism (in » black domino) and Know Nothingiem. We know that wo are correct in sayingthat they foreshadow the fixed purpose of able and trusted leaders in every State in the Union, to be foremost iw the field with a regular Presidential nomination next summer. Their purpose is to place on the track some conservative and well-known Whig tesman, who is Whig all over and Whig only; and to make it plain to the comprehen- sion of all before they nominate him, that he will be supported by all real Whigs of the country; which, in turn, they know will be un- derstood by the frionds of the isms to embrace an insurance (as it certainly will) that their candidate will be the only person who can pos sibly be elected, except the nominee of the Democratic party, whoever that may be. We are writing by the card in announcing these ts. We may say further, that the purpos> of those who are active in these arrangements, is not to push the fortunes of any particular aspirant, but to get on the track the best pos- sible representative of Whig principles and measures, who, at the same time, shall be least obnoxious to the opponents of the Democratic party every where, who are not and have not been affiliated with the Whig party. We know further. that many of the gentlemen in question at present regard ex-Governor Wash ington Hunt, of New York, as the man for the occasion, in the belief that though at no time a member of the Kaow Nothing organization, that will support him heartily, if necessary, to give them a chance in defeating the Democ- racy; while they also hope for the favor (for him) of all of those who have gone into the late movement for Republicanism in black domino, (except the ultra Abolitionists of the new party,) which will soon be found to be stock that cannot possibly pay. Ex-Governor Hunt, though a man of very moderate preten- sions, has very few agsdilable points indeed, a3 a public man, and will bo likely to make as good a run as any opposition candidate to be named. ~ Roorbacking York Herald of yesterday contains what pur- ports to be a tolographio dispatch from this city, bearing date on Sunday (! !! ) last, pro- fessing to give an account of a terribly-excited cabinet meeting, that came off on that day! We need not say that no such meeting was held. A gentleman who from his pesition must know what is said and down in cabinet meoting, remarked to us, on reading the der- ald’s strange concoction of multiplied roor- backs above to, that neither the Kan- sas matters, question of Gen, Scott's back pay, nor that of the appointment of a suc- cessor for Mr. Buchanan at London bad been mentioned in cabinet meeting at any time for weeks past. According to this dizpatch from Washington, (manufactured in New York,) these were the three subjects over which the pother arose, 28 above explained. We refer to his remark thus, that the public may have a just appre- ciation of the utter worthlessness of the New York Herald’s exclusive news from Wash- ington. —_— The Navy Retired List.—What purports to be correct lists of the officers retired on leave, furloughed@, and dropped, are found in the Bal- timore Sw» of this morning, and in the New York Herald of yesterday afternoon. Both are exceedingly incorrect. We know of forty errors in the Swn’s list, and of more in that of the Herald. No correct list has yet seon the light in the columns of a newspaper— nearly half the names, or positions in the best of them, being wrong. EVENING STAR.

The Intelligencer cannot see the propriety of complaints on the part of American news" papers because the Czar annexed to his per- mission to Major Mordeicai and his compan- ions, to visit and inspect the defences of Sebastopol, the condition that they should not afterwards enter the lines of the enemy, say- ing, on the subject : ‘But, whether they visited the Czar as pri- vate individuals cr a3 a military commission, we cannot understand how it can be regarded as sn insult that they were required to pro- mise that they would not pass through the enemy's lines after making themselves ac- uainted with the defences of Sebastopol. the fact that it was deemed necessary to ask the consent of the Czar to the visit, involves the admission that he had a right to refuse it, and surely under the circumstances it was more courteous to Sees a condition to his consent than it would have been to refuse it on any terms. Wedo not believe that any men can be more sensitive to the calls of honor than our military officers, and yet we should be greatly surprised to hear that ‘Major Moi- decai and his associates’ had been effended atthe manner in which their application to the Emperor of Russia was answered, even if such turnout to be the trath. Some of our fellow citizens are, we think, quite too read: to take offence at every rule of conduct whic! a foreign nation prescribes for itsclf. If one of our own cities were besieged and placed under murtial law, as Sel 1 is, it is not improbable that they would take a different view of the matter.” The Unson publishes five columns of an ex- posure of the Know Nothing ritual in Penn- sylvanig, and comments upon yhat it con- ceives to be the enormi'y of its various pro- visions and obligations. The same journal expresses tbe belief that the outcry against the Nebraska bill is merely similar to the out- ery—first, *gainst the repeal of the charter of the Bank of the United States, and afterwards Appointments on the Treasury Extension. We hea: that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the following appointments on the construction of the extension of the Treasury building, viz: True Putney, master stone ma- son; Henry D. Cooper, master brick mason; W. W. Davis, inspector of materials ; John F. Boyle, cverseer cf laborers; L. H. Berryman, time keeper. Appointed —Andrew J. Crawford, of In diana, has been appointed to a temporary (£1,200 per annum) clerkship in the General Land Cffize.

Tes Crescent City Orr.—From the N. ¥. Express of yesterday we learn that the stesm- ship Crescent City, which wassent back to Quar- antine on Monday morning, by order of the Board of Health, charged with having violated the Quarantine laws, and sentenced toa quar- antine of 30 days, slipped her cables at 4 o'clock in the evening, and put tosea on her regular voyage to New Orleans and Havana. She commenced getting up steam at an ear- ly hour in the afternoon, and the authorities at Quarantine mistrusting that ali was not right kept a close cye upon her. About half past 3 o'clock, Mr. Benneit, the boarding offi- cer, discovered two tug-boats coming down the Bay, one filled with passengers, and the other with baggage, which made for the C. C. He immediately hailed, and forbid them approach- ing the steamer, but they paid no attention to the order, and kept on. Onapproaching near enough tothe side of the vessel, Capt Me- Gown, who was on board one of the tugs, took a hook rope, thrown from the steamer, and made fast to the tug. The side ladders were then ordered to be lowered, and the passen- gers stepped on board of the C. C., followed oy Dr. Thompson, aud others of the Health Departwent, who forbid the captain proceed- ing to sea, also other passengers from aceom- panying him, as all would thereby render themselves liable to a violation of the quaran- tine laws, The captain paying no attention to the or- der, Mr. Thompson next read the law to him, and ordered his assistants to assist him, which they proceeded to do, when @ spirit of resist- ance was manifested among tho crew and pas sengers. The officers then jumped into the boats and rowed to the U. z cutter Cyane, stationed at quarantine, and asked for assi-t- ance, which was readily acoeded to, and the quarter-boat ordered to be manned, for the purpose of boarding the C. C. . While this feat was being accomplished the Crescent City slipped her cable and stood out for sea at the top of her speed. ~ is is the second time Capt. McG. has vio- lated Quarantine laws and escaped; once in New Osleans and once here. PERSONAL, --++lfon. Thomas G. Pratt, of Maryland, is at Willard’s; Hon. Michael Jenkins and Hon 7. C.

The United States store ship Supply, Lieut. D. D. Porter, commanding, reached here on the 4th inst., on her way to the Levant in search of camels. Major Wayne, the chief of the expedition on which the Supply was sent out, was presented to the Bey, with several of the officers. The Major, in behalf of the United States Government, offered congratula- tions to the Bey on his aceession to the throne, expressing the desire of the United States for more extended intercourse and closer commer- cial Spars Ligier the two peep ore for a long, bappy, and prosperous reign for his Highness. The bey roelprocated these friendly sentiments. His Highness, hearing of the Major's desire to purehase, on Government account, a camel in Tunis, sent him two of the finest among all he posseased, which were accepted with pro acknowledgments in the President’s name, &c. I have seen both the camels, the larger being the finest I ever saw, and the other, a younger one, bidding fair to equal his companion in time. The Bey is highly interested in the im- provement of his people in agriculturc, and shows a great desire to acquaint himself thoroughly with its progress in the United States, which does his true benevolence and enlightenment great credit, indeed. The Supply left hero on the 10th instant, taking as passengers to Malta the widow and daughter of Sir Edward S. Baynes, late Eng lish Consul-General at this capital, This was a handsome act of international courtesy, these ladieg being left alone here at a time of gen- eral sigkness, and in great distress by the be- reavement mentioned above. There were no other convenient megns through which they might reach Malta, which is uxt very little out of the route of the vessel to the Levant. A brother of the lete Consul-General holds a high commend at Malta. The Supply took on board a beautiful block of marble from the ruins of Carthago, for the Washington Monument, presented by Dr. Da- vid P. Heap, son of our late consul. The block is of varigated—red and white—mar- ble, and was cut from one of the columns of the attributed temple of Esculapius, and bears on its front face an excellent representa- tion of the arms of Carthage, in Mosaic, in jaune antique ona black ground, with the words ‘‘ Carthage’’ and the legend—Present- ed by David Porter Heap, July 4, 1855, sur- rounded by a wreath of oliye Jeayes in verd antique on the exergue.

From Washington by this road, the only sean by which tickets for the Weatcan be obtained in that city—the time is less than forty-six hours. In‘a few weeks, when their special improvements ara completed this alroady unexcelied time, will. ic is said, be reducod by several hours. This alyantage in running time is owing in part to the fact that thedistance is shorter and the route more direct than by the Pennsylvania Central road, St. Louis being but 961 miles from Baltimore by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, againstabout 1,020 by that line from Philadefphia, When the Parkersburg conne:- tion is completed an air-ling will be formed, by which the distange will ho brought down to 875 miles, and the time between this city and St. Louis reduced to thirty-six hours.

The accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth are encouraging, representing an abatement in the disease, and a diminution in the num- berofdeaths. The fever is evidently on the decline, only in consequence however of there being no material to operate on. It is the im- pression of the physicians gonerally that there would be as many cases now aé ever of the disease if thore were any body fort to attack. The deserted appearance of both places is de- tcribed as a painful sight to witness.

From Portsmouth the accounts are still somo- what favorable, the fever having disappeared from some sections of the town altogether, and the new cases are but few. For the 48 hours up to 3 o’clock Monday the whole number of deaths were 17, half of which were negroes and children. Among the dead we have ascertained the following names : Mrs. George J.

Joel Michic, engineer, and John French, have come out of the hospital. The wife of Dr. V. Bilisoly is getting well. Simon and Enoch Ghio, brothers, left Ports- mouth on Thursday, for Hampton, and were taken on Friday. Simon died on Saturday night Enock is getting better. hen contributions are sent from sister cities intended for both the afflicted cities, it would be as weil for the donors to send that portion intended for Portsmouth separate and apart, directed to Dr. Schoolficld, President of the Portsmouth Sanitary Committee. and aot to the Howard Association of Norfolk, as the two bodies are entirely separate and distinct. We trust that this advice may be atttended to in future during the prevalence of the epidemic, as up to this time we hear that the authorities of Portsmouth have received but about $16,000 out of near $100,000 which have been sub- scribed for the benefit of the yellow fever su‘- ferers. Things had begun to assume a livelier aspect in both Norfolk and Portsmouth. Yet maby months, aye years, will doubtless elapse ere these cities recover from the crushing blow that has ioen inflicted on their prosperity. Whit.
