NEW YORK HERALD.
Highly Important from washington.

We learn from our private correspondence, re-
ceved last night from Washington that re or
ganization OF the Cabinet will take place in about
ten days
Before leaving Washington, Mr.. Webster had
minated a wish to retire-and his late speech in
Boston has rather displeased the President than
otherwise. Mr.. Webster will therefore leave the
cabinet and go abroad-probably to Pars-Mr Spen.
Ger or Mr. Upshur will become Secretary of State
Mr.. Gushing Secretary of the Treasury--and Mr..
Forward will forward march" to some other posi-
tlon The President is determined to be master of
his own househod-and the whole cabinet must
take the direction of his views or get out of the
way. This is decidedly the best policy, and will
give him a triumph over both factions in another
year
We also learn that the President and his Cabinet
are determined, in some shape, to maintain the in
dependence of Texas-and measures have already
been adopted preparatory to putting stop the in
vasion threatened by Mexico The Constellation
frisate, A guns-Maron soop of war, one of the
large steamers, and all the West India fleet, are or
dered to concentrate fast as possible before St.
Juan d'Ulloa, at Vera Cruz. General Almonte has
given offence than inspired friendshp-and
we should not be surprised if hostilities were TO
break out between the United States and Mexico,
The President is also PREF airing his message. He
will insist on the passage of his currency plan, called
the Exchequer," at the next sesson-and if Con-
gress still refuse, under the recent and coming de-
monstratons at the elections, he will, after the 4h
of March, call an EXTRA SESSION of the new Con.
gress, and raise excitement that will demolish
the leaders of both factions. Alse, all office holders
who neg ect their duties, NEEDLE with elections,
will be removed-and generel sweep may be ex-
pected soon.
Thus it will be seen, Captain John Tyler has
got his spunk up and in the next two years of
his Presidency he will make the politicians hy be-
fore him like chaff in high wind We are de-
lighted with the prospect; and if he acts like man
OF SPIRIT understanding his position and his power,
welding all the elements with energy and decision,
we shall support him through thick and hin-n sea-
son and out of season. He has glorious prospect
before Go ahead like thunderbolt
The Newspaper Press-Its Ups and Downs.
The ''Sun" penny newspaper, announced yester-
day that it intended to increase its size four add-
uonalcoumns. 1t is not said in this announcement,
whether II means to increase its price to two cents
per copy,bu some suppose that such will be the case
But whatever alternative may be taken, the an
nouncement is positive evidence that the "Sun'' is
declining, and that its circulation is reduced one half
partly by the growth of the two cent papers and
partly by the rivalry of the penny Chronicle" 1t
is very evident from its meagre columns that it has
lost one half of Its usual advertising.
We always have predicted the destiny Of the
SUM- on the same principle that has gradually de-
stroyed so many of the large papers in Wall street
OF late years The size OF a newspaper must bear
certain proportion to the price, otherwise it is
sooner or later fatal to its existence and prosperity
single printed sheet of the "Sun," like that of
the Courier" and other large papers, costs little
more than the actual price the proprietors receive,
hence neither could live but for the advertising bu-
slness. Take away the advertising and such prints
gone
Now as the business of advertising is changing It's
character and It's SYSTEM such papers will be affect
ed by the change njurousy. On the contrary, the
moderate size of the Herald" with its equally mo-
iderate price of two cents being the proper medium
Is proprietor is placed beyond the contingency of
revolutions in business-and can ''bde his time"
till good sense and intelligence place him in proper
position in the business circles.
The circulation OF the several newspapers in this
city, have changedvery much during the last few
years At one time in 1884 or 5, the " Courier and
Enquirer" had the largest circuation-then the
"Sun"-but now the Herald" far excee DIS every RI
val-hence the maignity which all the newspaper
press entertain for its proprietor According to the
best sources of information, we give the following
curious table and believe it to be nearly correct:-
