APPOINTHINT OF A NEW GOVERNOR TO BOUM
—The Courier of last night states, that Sir EVAN
NEIMAN has not yet resigned, but has signified, wish
to do so, and may in consequence be expected to se.
turn to England in about twelve or fifteen months.
Under these circumstances, it is added, the Coast of
Directors hate expressed to the Board of Controal‘en
opinion, that some Gentleman should now be pitched
'amen to succeed Sir EVAN whenever he retires. The
appointment to such situations fells usually with*
the province of the Board of Controul; but Mr.
CANNING, President of that Board, has, it is said, de.
dined such exercise of his power on the present ores-
sion, and has contented himself with naming Wee
individuals who have particularly distinguished thew
selves in the political and military transactions of
the late Campaign, and leaving it to the Directors to
select any one of the three for the appointment io
question. The Gentlemen named by Mr. CANNING,
it is said, are Mr. Exenistrrons, Sir Jous MAI"
coLat, and General MUNRO. A notice has been
given, that Mr. ELPHINSTONE wilt be first proposed
to the Court of Directors as a proper person for-the
Governorship, and this proposal is to be decided by
ballot this day se'rsisight.
ST. HELENA.—A Philadelphia Paper gives the for.
lowing account of the regulations observed with re.
gard to the American vessels which touch at St. lie.;
.lena :—" Those who are in particular want of any
thing Si. Helena affords, should run for the North
side of the Island, near which they will he briarded

The Boarding Officer takes particulars of what is ,
panted, and reports to his Commander; erhO imme-
diately communicates by telegraphic signals. Yea

emitted to enter the Bay, a board will be held unto
your view with the word l'Ass on it. You will be
hailed as you pass, and some questions asked; yet
then steer for the flag-ship. One of her boats sill
meet you, in which there will be two Officers; one

Wallis, and the other remains on board to keep y
honest. No romtnunicet• 's allowed with the shoo.
Water is brought alongside in butts; all you have to
du is to hoist it in and start it. The company charge
only 3s. per ton—you also pay the boat's crew—they
merit recompense."
A Dublin Paper. says—" We are 'stored that the
Captains of the Holyhead Packets ore about to pre-
sent a Memorial to Government, setting forth the
great inconvenience and danger of the new Packet
Station, and the apprehensions' with which the lip.
proach of winter fills their minds. We enderstand
that it is their 'determination to invite his Mnjello
Ministers to appoint experienced and disinterested
navigators, to ascertain whether or not there ere
just grounds for their remonstrances and fears. We
cannot see how Ministers can feel themselves veer-
ranted in disregarding their representations. The
question is not now, whether Howl's Barbour has
cost the notion much money, but whether it answer+
the purpose for which it was constructed ? If a
igreat error has been committed, and if the works at
' Howih, as a means of facilitating our intercourse
with England, are about as valuable to us as the
Break water at Plymouth, it is no cure for the ne-
' finite! disappointment that life should be endangered,

or public convenience sacrificed."
