To those who have attended Of late years 10 the
proceedings OF Congress. and who are acquainted
with the relative standing of the members, it
would be useless to say, that if cspacious and
wel-stured intellect, the manners and bearing of
polished gentleman, and the feelings and princi-
pies OF an enlightened and liberal republican, be
qualifications for a Minister, the appointment OF
the Hon. William c.. Riyes of Virginia, is among
the very best selections the President could have
made. Our relations with France at the present
crisis. of the highest importance to an i'm
mense number of our fellow countrymen upon the
sea board. and although, in common with many of
our ellow-citzens, we had hoped that the greater
experience of Edward Livingston Of Louisiana,
might have been secured, yet as we believe he
has, for very sound aud cogent reasons, declined
the offer OF the mission, we confident, that in
the distinguished Yirginian who has been substi-
tuted, the claimants will lose nothing that can be
gained, by ardent zeal. ample abilities, acute dis
elimination, extensive legal requirements and de-
termined perseverance. Bait. Rep.

Of vessels. This will be a great convenience to
merchants-the former hours were from ten to

ally made, as they present themselves, in all the
departments, so as to make public duties correspond
with public convenience. ". Y. ED0.
WOODEN zTade.-We learn that the woloen trade
ia, at present, in very depressed condition.
fhere has been great quantity of domestic WOOL
EN- thrown into the market. This, no doubt, has
reduced the prices to the present low state. Ii
is estimated that the quantity of fannels now man.
ufactured in this country, is quite sufficient for
the domestic consumption. The state of Connec-
ucut possesses many flannel manufactures. TIL.

"Oear Sir-Our charter election took place this
day. The political anti-masons made powerful
effort, but all to no effect. The republicans stood
their ground nobly, and although considerable
number OF our men were absent, and the anti-ma-
sous mustered all their forces, we beat them.
The following is the result:
