INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, The Overflow at New Orleans. ANAAAANARnA At nnlaten ‘rom the N. Q Picayune, May 12.) - After = dava absence from the scene of the Sauvé « went up te it yesterday. We found bout completed across the breach, machines were still Our Washington Correspondence. ‘Wasuinaton, May 19, 1849, ‘The Cabinet—The Labors of the Administration— Foreign Ministers—Issue of Stock—The Cholera, e., Se. A most absurd rumor appears in one of the Bal- timore papers this morning. It is asserted that Mr. Clayton is about to exchange his office for a foreign mission; and, in that event, Mr. Abbott Lawrence will go into the Treasury, and Mr. Meredith will be transferred into the State Depart- ment. The whole affair isa mere figment. There mever was a more harmonious cabinet than the pre- sent, and there is not a member in it who desires to escape, in any way, from his position. They tration of the old hero who fills the Presidential ehair, and, sink or swim, they will stick to him, in indent of this, there is another glaring impro- Dability connected with the matter. Mr. Law- rence Be clined to fill the office of Secretary of War, solely on account of his health. He has, for a long time, suffered acutely from liver complaint, and it ig well known that ne other circumstan have induced him to refuse his services to the ad- ministration. It is more than probable the same cause will prevent his acceptance of the mission to England, should it be offered to him, although this position is infinitely less laborious than a Secre- taryship. f ‘ew persons have any adequate ideaof the labors of members of the cabinet. In the State Depart- ment, the Treasury, and, the Home Department, the business of re-organizing, &c., has been so ar- duous, that close. application, on the part of the Secretaries, for sixteen, and eighteen hours daily, has scarcely been sufficient to get through with it, Changes in our foreign ministers will commence about the middle of June. Several of the most important have already tendered their, resigna- tions. As, however, each minister appointed wil require a full set of instructions, which must be made out by the Secretary of State, the changes will necessarily be anything but rapid. No person will be turned out of office unless for some ade- quate reasen—either change in policy, or some more personal cause. It anlar happens. for our credit abroad, that under this latter head more than ore removal is required. It is said that several of the parties who have been turned out of office have supplicated Pathe Ritchie not to mention their cases—being afraid the administration would divulge the causes which Jed to their dismissals. It is a matter well known, that defaleations have been discovered among officials to a great extent. When Congress meets, the information can be called for, and it will, doubtless, be promptly furnished. It will then be discoyered that some of the worst cases of pro- scription are those of persons who have dishonest- ly used the trusts committed to their charge.

The near approach of the cholera has caused a good deal of alarm to be by the local press, but beyond that we can discover no sign of any preparation for the deadly visiter. Washington possesses more natural advantages for the preservation of health than almost any city in the Union, and yet a more filthy hole it would be difficult to find anywhere. Garbage and filth ot all kinds is allowed to rot in the streets; sewers there are none; out houses are horrible; and, alto- gether, the effluvia which pervades theair is enough to breed any disease which can flourish in the midst of dirt. It is to be hoped the city authori- lies will exert themselves betore it 1s too late, and make the inhabitants keep their houses and yards clean. Their present state is disgraceful. « ‘Wasuixcrow, May 19, 1849, Who is the Laundress? Despatches from California The Departments, §¢., $8. ‘There was music by the Marine Band, in the gardens atthe White Mouse, this (Saturday) afternoon. The President came out, and had a talk with a good many ‘of the people. A letterin a late number of the Penn- spe ian says that, on Saturday last, “one shirt, one chemise, two petticoats and two pair of drawers” were hanging out on the bushes, in the aforesaid gardens, to dry. On this point, we would ask the editor of the Ne- tional Whig if Old Zack's Sunday clothes are not hung out to dry before Saturday—and if not, why not? This is ‘an important matter, amiportant despatches have been received by the War and Navy Departments from Calif and will proba- Dly be published at length in the ad in. official papers, to-morrow morning. It would reem that the people of Califernia are taking time by the torclock, in adopting or approving the Wilmot provieo, having no idea that slaves shall be introduced to compete with their hired Indians in scratching out the gold dust. There will be some trouble about this business at the next Con- 88. ‘The present difficulty with the administration is, how they are to enforce the authority of General Smith. It only needs a hint to the Californians to have them organise @ State government, and appeal for a formal admirsion into the Union at the next session of Con- ress, Sueh a course would etitle the demagogues orth and South, on the subject of the provis« The post office of this city, and the naval agency, and the 6th auditorship, held by Peter G.

Mr. Burroughs—The Cholera, $c. ‘The trial of the Rev. Mr, Burroughs, for manslaugh- ter, at Snow Hill, Md., was closed on Saturday, but no account of the verdict has yet come tohand. Henry A. Wise addressed the jury, in behalf of the prisoner, for nine successive hours, and, it is said, bore with ex- cessive severity on Mr. Smith, the editor of the Snow Hill Shield, who he charges with having stirred up the broil that ‘resulted in the death of Bishop by his offi- cious eonduct. Smith, it is said, appealed to the court for protection, but it was decided that Mr. Wise had | not gone out of the line of the evidence.

The chief characters in this piece, viz. the Queen, Woleey, and the King, were played in the most splendid style, Mrs Shaw has long been fumed in her part of Katharine, and we seldom have seen an audience so enthusiastic in their applause as they were last night. The famous trial scene, where Kathaiine delivers that noble remonstrance to Henry, against usage of her, the defiance of Wolsey, and the other Cardinals, the appeal to the Pope, and her final exit from the scene, with the declaration that she “will no more appear on that matter, in any of their courts,” were finely managed. Mrs, Shaw's figure and torm are well suited for such a part, and she looked the Queen most perfectly. Mr. Ryder play: id King Henry well; it. is a repulsive character at best, but Nir. Ryder did it most enrcfully. Mr, Stevens played Buckingham, and with much dignity and tact; his bearing in the scene leading to the execution was very tine, and his delivery of the lags prt of the part most impressive. Mr. Gilbert playe the part of the haugh- ty Wolsey with his usual excclionce.
