UNITED STATES. The new Cabinet under the administration of President Fillmore is completed. It consists of Daniel Webster, Secretary of State; Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury; Pearce, Secretary of the Interior; Bates, Secretary of War; Chittenden, Attorney-General and Hall, Postmaster- General. Daniel Webster is regularly installed. General Scott is acting as Secretary of War, and Commodore War- rington as Secretary of the Navy, until the intended occu pants of those offices arrive in Washington. President Fillmore's selection for chief departments appears to give general satisfaction. The Delegate to Congress from New Mexico had been re- fused a seat in the House by a majority of eleven votes. The treaty with Mexico, relative to the Tehuantepec route, has been completed with provisions similar to those of the Nicaragua treaty. In New York, on the 19th ult., the death of Sir Robert Peel was received with great regret. On the night of the 18th, a storm of rain and wind raged fearfully over the City of New York. It commenced at sunset, and increased in violence till it reached its climax at sunrise. The rain descended in torrents, and the wind, which blew from the east, howled all night long, prostrating trees, and doing a vast amount of damage in every part of z;1 Z, the city. Several lives were lost. All the lines of tele- graph wires, running from the city, were broken, and the communication interrupted. One or two steamers were wrecked, and most of the outward-bound ships that were at anchor in the harbour were driven on shore. The hurri- cane extended to Philadelphia, Albany, Newark, Williams- burg, and many other cities. Great injuries were reported to have been sustained by the crops. A storm of such violence had not been experienced in New York for half a century. The hearing of the case of Professor Webster had taken place at Boston before the Council. Numerous petitions, praying for a commutation of the sentence were presented, and several speakers addressed the Council in favour of the prisoner. The report of the committee had not been made public, but there was no doubt entertained that the members unanimously concurred in refusing to stay the sentence of death. It had been decided to execute him on the 30th ult. The anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British West Indies was to be celebrated in Lowell, Massachusets, on the 1st of August.
