Minister from England We learn from good
authority that Sir James Mcintosh will probably
succeed Mr.. Vaughan as Minister from Great
Britain to this country. The mission OF this dis
tinsuished man will be most gratifying On many
accounts; and especially TO the intelligent cisi-
zens OF America, whose curiosity will be gratif-
ed by an intercourse with one whose writings
have long commanded their respect and admra-
ton. and whose public career in various Offices
ana in the House Of Commons has been upright
and eminenty usefu.-Nsw-Y York Com.
Ne,p Hampshire Election result of this
election is similar to that of last year, as is sup
posed by the Eastern papers. The number OF
votes given was less, and the Jackson majority is
less in proportion, being from three to four thou
sand. The particulars which may come TO hand
will he published Tomorrow. Official patronage
had been largely lavlshed On the purity of cleo
tons in that state; but the administration have
not gained during the last year. They have
rather gone behind hand. Here as elsewhere,

not be. In the third place, the next house would
not under any circumstances which can possibly
exist, elect HIM their Speaker. Some have sup
posed that he would be called to fill one Of the
Departments; but then there Is no vacancy. lf

would be pleased; but do not believe that he

Major Barry Is in situation too pitu' to
be brought into public un,ce. When the Post

he went 10 the Presidents, and with a coan-

what has grown out of the Post Office investiga
ton. and will induce many to believe, that more

ask for the motives which led to the aitcratianS &
interipat,ons IN the books aud documents; charg-
ing To Bradley's accounts, what took place under
Barry's Administration. To NV mind they are
very obvious. Barrys predecessor, NJ can.
was very popular and eili,ien officer. To fill
his place and discharge the duties ot his Office AS
they were discharged by him, required no COM
mon talents. and no ordinary share Of industry.
To aid this administration two things we're ne
cessarv: to rob Judge M'Lean of his well earned
fame. and to show that the present incumbent
was not only more efficient, but in his eXpcndi-
lures more economical. than the former had been.
Hence the necessity of charging to the former
head of the Post Office Department. the eXPen'
ditures of the present incumbent But IN addl'
ton to what have stated, there was motive
which led TO the expenditures themselves, 'rhch
by the alterations of the book, the Department
tried to shuttle oil upon MIR. M'Lean.'
