This " gentleman of respectability" is a comical, genius, and has passed many .humorous jokes upon the public, in the shape of elec tioneering reportsmost of which have turned out trontrary to his statements. We suppose he would have his language un aerstpod as some interpret dreams by contraries. .He missed thev figure in a Legislature of 16, by 72 and after the hoax had passed the filthy ordeal of the New-York Bank Presses, it became a matter of grave assertion in the papers of North-Carolina. And now this, gentle marf asserts that the Bank party and the Nullifiers in Raleigh were taken by sur? prize, in the nomination of Mr Brown so early in he session. Did they wish to try the effect of bank influence on the 21 scattering- votes ?

Whether Judge Settle were brought out suddenly or after mature deliberation, there is no ground for supposing the ' Administration majority would have been Jess. It is more proba ble that he wras nominated h'ith the hope of obtaining for him some of the Jackson votes, as he has very recently declared thathe approved of the administration " as a "whole" whatever, else he may have said, or be accused of saying.

The most scandalous rrits have occur red recently on tiie Washington Rail Road, nr.d several murders have 'been committed.' So great was theturbulence among the. Irish lalxnrera, that several companies of State.troops were ordered to capture the delinquents. A company of ' Vol unteers from Baltimore, returned to thai City on the 26th uit. bringing with them three iiondreb laborers some of whom ere impiicated in tlie outrages, and bUiers detainers witnesses. The following is part of the Report of Gel. Williams of Arundel County, Virginia, who was commis sioned to quelljhe diurbance : . " ... As soon as practicable after the order was re ceived, 1 despatched expresses in different direc tions, and although late in tlie day,- I obtained a volunteer force ot' active and wUlirig citizens, to tlie number of about thirty, and by 7 -o'clock at night had them postedal the point threatened. 6a the morning of the 24lh, 1 received an additional force of about 70 men, through the activity of Maj.

After S. diligent search through the day, in which we partially succeeded, the de tachment under Major Caprotv being obligtd to return to the Savage Factory for its security at night,.was ordered to take the 4th section (late Watson's) in its route, for a similar purpose. . No resistance was made to these examinations, with but one exception. One of the men of this detachment, belonging to a small party, inot hav ing been aware of their having departed from a shantee behind which he was searching for arms, several Irishmen, taking advantage of ihe circum stance, suddenly knocked him down and beat . him severely where he lay until some time in the night, whrm having somewhat recovered, he craw led oft and was taken tip bjr a cart in the morn ing and. brought to Waterloo. Some hands of Mr. Merrill, a German and two boys, were driven from their work on the rail road aftet the depart ure of the troops, and the man considerably bruis ed. - On the morning of the 25th, having received information that a considerable reinforcement was on the way from Baltimore, to aid the civil au uuu mo vuuutjr, lunucr proceedings were suspended until their arrival.
