[New Times.]

We understand that the appointment of a successor to Sir
Evan Nepean, in the Giovernumnt of Bombay, is now in agi-
tat'aia at the India House. Sir John Malcolm is oue of the
Candidates ; and, in our opinion, a more proper person could
not he selected. He has, for the last twenty years, been
employed in the most confidential and important situations,
and it is not too much to assert, that his personal knowledge
of India is superior to that of any of his cotemporaries.
The fact of Sir Joh n having enjoyed the confi-
dente of Lord Wellesley, is in itself sufficient commendation:
by Sir George Barlow he was trusted and resorted to for his
advice in the most critical moment of his government; with
Lord Minto he resumed the habits of intimate official inter-
course which had subsisted with Lord Wellesley, and since
his last return id India, the Gazettes unequivocally declare
the place which be holds in the Marquis of Hastings's pub-
lic esteem.

On two different occasions, the confidence of successive
Governors-General hasplaced the military and financial means
of the Government of Bombay at the disposal of Sir John
Malcolm. To the general knowledge, therefore, of political
administration in India, he unites a practical acquaintance
With the most important interests of the Government for
which ho is a Candidate.

The native subjects of the Presidency of Bombay, and the
States in the vicinity, allies of the British Government, par-
ticipate in the feelings of esteem and respect which prevail
towards Sit John Malcolm among the natives of India front
the banfis of thb Indus to Cape Coniorin ; that ekpanse of
country has been at oneones the theatre of his serVices, and of
his Well-earned reputation. If, therefore, a servant of the
East India Company is to be named, it must be difficult, if
not impossible, to select an individual Who unites such high
qualifications to such indisputable claims.

ABONIINABLE TRAPFIC.
(From The New aleats Chronicle of July 144)

"The slave market appears to be very linisk—
constant demand and high prices, notwithstanding
the arrival lately of 35 in the brig Mary Ann, 39
in the sloop Thorn, 97 in the ship Virgin, 19 in
the schooner Lea, 17 in the schooner Fame, 34
in the brig Venus, 38 in the brig Franklin, 37 in
the schooner Humming Bird, all from the States;
159 in the brig Joseph, from Africa.
" We are, however, much indebted to thi. en-
terprising end successful exertions of Mr.CitARLES
AIOhGAN, for the copiousness of the present sup-
ply, which, with the aid of 3 or 4 hundred that
have been seized by General JACKSON'S Officers at
Mobile, will probably suffice for the next crop.
" Jeremy Negroes seem particularly adap,ed for

this market, especially those who bear the mark
of Judge VatiwicKLE. As it is understood that

they afford the best opportunity for specul►►tiou,
we have a right to calculate on large importations
in future, from the success Which has hitherto
attended the trade.

'• One hundred and thirty-nine negroes were
offered tor sale at the Sheriff's Office at New Or-
leans o❑ the 20th Jn'y, for ready cash."

A Brazils Mail arrived this tnorning in thir y-
six days ; hut Owing to the lateness of her ar.
rival, the letters were not delivered from the Post-
Office at twelve o'clock.

There have been various speculations respecting
the motives vl►ich might have induced the present
Possessor of the Crown of Sweden and his Son
to visit Norway, and different accounts have beer
given. That they apparently met with a cordial
reception may be acknowledged, but it is well
known that the People of that Country feel the
junction with Sweden as a most oppressive and
hateful measure. The Times, which has generally
good Continental information, sai►l yeverday, on
the authority of a private letter from Hamburgh,
that " Norway is considerably agitated, and the,

jlt'
King's (BartnAnoTTE) stay there was not
tended with mai ks of insult and proofs o' dis" Pol
lion." That such marks of disaffeetionaPPe°6lo

and history of the person who assn Mes the 111
