Washington Gossip.—The Tribune gives the following as the latest gossip in the knowing circles at Washington: According to the last reports from Wheatland, the Cabinet programme is partially changed from the original cast. It now reads as follows: Gen. Cass, Secretary of State; Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury; Jesse D. Bright, Secretary of the Interior. Gov. Floyd, Senators Rusk and Benjamin and Mr. Clifford are not specifically designated. About Mr. Rusk's occupation of any place, but particularly that for which he is indicated, being Chairman of the Post-Office Committee of the Senate, there is much doubt. It will be observed that Mr. Benjamin is now indicated as the representative man of the Old-Line Whigs, instead of Mr. Preston of Kentucky, at first designated for that capacity. Mr. Toucey is discarded, and Mr. Clifford is adopted for want of better material.

Mr. Buchanan may be here about the 15th of January, or he may postpone the time of coming to a fortnight after. Both contingencies are probable, from his recent declarations, and either may happen, according to the development of circumstances.

Glancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, is killed off for the Cabinet, but as Mr. Buchanan recommended him by letter for his own successor in the British Mission, he may provide him official quarters.

No confidence is entertained that this last cast can stand after Mr. Buchanan confers in Washington, and the present publicity will add to the demonstrations of hostility already intended. In fact, he is just beginning to realize the difficulties of his position, and they have been seriously augmented at the outset by the interference in the Pennsylvania Senatorial question.
