f" ChsEcAM C. CaHabreleng !" Such were the
exclamations in the mouth Of every one,
half hour after the early adjournment of the
Senate. The reception of the Executive mes
sage. the session for action upon II, and the
confirmation, were all less than the work OF
an hour. Mr.. Van Buren, managed to Keep
the intended appointment more secret tnSn IS
usual in such matters, ana Out Jew OF MS
friends knew of the appointment before they |
heard of the confirmation. What con-
temptible opinion must the Emperor OF Rus
STA have of this government, it he forms an
opinion of it from the Ministers sent 10 me I
Court of st. Petersburg. Whether DC ior
the numbers sent, or the men SENT or the Ire,
quency of the appointments the ruler ana
subjects all regard us as tue nloss ncNie
and extraordinary people upon the face of
the earth, From the few days residence of
John Randolph at the Court, to the brief So
iourn of Mr.. Dallas, the mission has been
Justly regarded as no more than Slnecure
for cast off and ambitious partizans.
| More of the public money has been eXpen-
ded upon Messrs. Randolph, Buchanan, Will
kins, Dallas, and now in a nine thousand
outfit aud a salary of four thousand live hun.
dred dollars for Mr.. Cambreleng, than would
have been expended in the building OF
home squadron, or the equipment OF an ordi-
nary army. The mission has been render
ed absolutely disgraceful, and those who ac-
cent the office, are regarded IN no estlmable
light either abroad or at home.
I John NJ. Niles, too, is appointed to the office
of Postmaster General. aud his appointment
is confirmed. He walks in the footsteps of
his "illustrious predecessor" Amos Kendall,
as soon as he can come from the state which
has just rebuked his pretensions to the arms
of the Executive, who has taken itupoE HIM
selfto reward those whom the people regard
as not worthy of support. MIR. Niles will
not be q favorite here. He hos but industry
to recommend him, and however acceptable
that may be. it will not make up for boorish-
ness, prejudices, inexperlence' and igno-
rance. | have heard OF many complaints
against Mr.. Van Buren, for tho appointment
} But what was the President to do! MIR.
Niles had been rejected when candidate
for the Senate; again he had been rejected
by the people, and that too in defeat of u
marked character. What could have been
more so than the forty five hundred majority
for the Wing candidate for Governor, with
Mr.. Niles as the opponent.
The Sub Treasury bill it is probable will
formally be brought before the House to-
morrow. The party have taken the respon.
sibility Of postponing action upon the Appro.
priation bills until the "Bill of Abomina-
tons" is fully considered and made the law
of the land "in spite of lamentations !"
There Is hardly doubt that the bill will
pass-hardly a question that it will before
the month OF June has gone receive the sig
nature Of the President. AS we have had it
in practical operation, and as its formal pas
sage can do little more than legaliZe tyran-
nical and odious scheme, we need not dread
n much worse experiment than we have had.
The anticipation, however, Is no very pleas.
ant ono In the almost certain passage. But
for the brighter anticipation q little further
ahead, one might almost despair. f. d.

great regret that the venerable Ex.President

mcnt this evening received fall on the

dislocation Of the collar bone, or tho break.
ing of the bone. He was carried to his lodg.
ings, and has received since then the best a..
tendance possible. There Is general feel
ing and sympathy for tho welfare of the uni.
vcrsally respected Ex-President. No man
is more beloved.-N. Y. Cypress.
