REMOVALS..

With regard TO the report of removals at the
Custom House in this city, to which so much re-
ference has been made, we learn that the Presi-
dent OF the United States has addressed letter to
the Secretary of Treasury, directing him to order
the Collector of the Port Of Philadelphia to re-
move from office great number of persons en-
ployed in the collection Of the customs, and de-
signaling their successors. The Secretary, with
out giving the ORDER sent the letter of the Pres-
dent to theCollector, for him take order there
on. Nothing, we believe, has been done in the
premisest as yet; and ii is stated that Mr. Roberts,
the Collector, sets out for Washington this morn
ing. AS we have not this statement from either
the writer or the receiver. of the epistle we for
bear comment. Should the report prove correct,
perhaps 'comment would be unnecessay.''--U.
s. Gazette.

Some Of the Lacofoco papers are cehsntihg the
Wings in Congress for refusing to refund to Gen.
Jackson the fine imposed upon him by Judge
Hall, Of Louisiana. These attacks Of the Loco

In the Senate on Monday, Mr.. Benton read a
letter from Mr.. Wicklifre, the Postmaster General
enquiIing ofhim how certain letters which had
been called for by committee Of the Senate, in
relation to the appointment Of Postmaster a,
st. ouis, had gotten into the newspapers. Mr..
Benton boldly avowed that he had copied them, and
transmitted them to ST. Louis for publication. II
such conduct is to be tolerated, all confidence
must be destroyed between the Executive branch
of the Government and the Senate-and it is no
excuse for Mr.. Benton that the letters affected
him and his friends. There was way of obtain
ing copies of them, without stealing them.

Caution.-There are reports that some of the
fires which have lately been SO destructive in town,
had their origin in luciier matches. We have
seen no positive evidence of such being the fact
in any one case, but should not be surprised if the
cause of several of these CONGREGATIONS were to
be found among these combustibles. We have
always considered lucifer matches quite as dam
gerous about ones premises as gunpowder-es-
pecially when kept in paper or wooden boxes as
they frequently are. 1t has been suggested that
some regulation concerning the sale and keeping
ofthem, should be adopted by the Municipal au.
thorities. But the simplest way for each citizen
10 guard his dwelling from these fire works, is
by inclosing such Of them as he wishes 10 keep
on hand, in suitable tin canisters or metallic box.
