The CHINA MrssIoY.-We understand from w ash
ingfon thai the connection OF the name OF Edward
Curtis the Collector of this port, with this mission,
Is not by any me so probematcal as some would
imagine. II is quite possible that such thing may
take place But il is understood that nothing will be
definitely done, until the final reply of Mr.. Everett
shall be received as it probably will be by the next
steamer. Itisgenerally supposed that Mr.. Everett
will decline the appointment. He is man of great
constitutional tmidity, and has a most christian
aversion TO the smell OF gunpowder. Perceivine
that Chinese affairs are in rather a ticklish con-
dton atpresent, rendering it not at all improbable
that some cannon balls may yet be discharged, Mr..
Everett, however much his literary ambition might
be sratihed by an opportunity of investigating
Chinese antiquities, does not, supposed at all de-
sire any practical experiments in artillery and there
fore will politely refuse TO accept the appoint
ment.
On the other hand, the appointment of Mr.. Cur
lis would be generally regarded as judicious. Mr..
Curtis Of great tact, practised business ha-
bits, and would doubtless take as good care of the
American interests in China as any other man in
the country
In the meantime Mr.. Webster will remain in Mas.
sachusetts after he leaves Washington, and in con.
junction with Mr. Gushing, will, it is supposed be
named as commissioner to meet the special COM
missioners to be sent from England in relation to
the great tariff negotiations in contemplation.
INJUSTICE TO THE MECHANICS OF NEW YORK AND
BRookLyN-We stated, few days since, that the
Secretary of the Navy had ordered the Franklin "a
from Brooklyn to Boston, or Norfolk, for repairs.
The Franklin is sixteen years old, and has never
been aoat. 1t will require extensive repairs to get
her In condition 10 tow her ont of the port, which
will be useless, as she will have to be thoroughly
overhaued again.
She requiresrepairs sufficient to employ from 800 to
400 men eight months, which can be done here as
well as at any navy yard in the country. The ways
al our navy yard are in perfect order when the
Savannah was repaired and the largest vessel in our
navy can be placed on them In eight hours at a tri
fling expense.
We see no just reason why our mechanics should
not be fairly used in this business. The Franklin
was uuit uCIcs anu IL Is 10 more tndH IlSut SHE
should be finished here. Our mechanics are as
skilful as any in the Union, and the work can be
done economical here as elsewhere We hope
the Secretary will think of these facts, and on the
second sober thought, annu the order for her re-
moval.
The REVOLUTION BEGUN.-We perceive that
Henry Wise has been reelected in his district
Virginia. This is the first Tyler-m IN elected in
the United States. We believe there a
Tyler-man who received, somewhere in this State,
twenty votes, but no man could make out his name.
But the election of Wise is certain. This is be-
ginning the business for this season. Probably the
next man elected will be Caleb Cushing-a very
clever ssrt of fellow. We shall watch his case
with great interest. But the Tyler people, if they
intend TO succeed, must go-ahead little faster. If
they don't, they cannot hope to do much in the May
Convention. They must 10 something better than
elect one Tyler man in two years
AMONG THE CANDIDATES for the Custom House
are William L. Marcy, Alderman Purdy, VIM
Paxton Hallet and Mayor Morris. Sometime since
Hallet was number one in Bob Tyler's estimation,
but now ii seems the discovery has been made that
he is not pure enough democrat; and the choice
OF the elective power is vibrating between Alder
man Purdy and Bob Morris, occasionally inclining
little towards VIM L. Marcy. At all events the
chances of these three are pretty nearly equal. 1t
Is uncertain, however whether any Of them would
accept the office, nor is it matter Of any conse-
quence whether they weuld or not.
STEAM SHIP HIBERMA.-This new steamer is not
such remarkably fast one, after all She was out
fourteen days when we last heard from Boston, and
Adams and Harn1en u tbotfb of
her when they left. 1t is to be presumed, however,
that she reached there yesterday and that we shall
receive her news at an early hour this morning. If

CATHOLIC Policy CHURCH OF ST.. LOUIS AT Buzz
YAo.-It appears, from the letter OF correspondent,
in another column, that the difficulties in the case
of the Church OF St Louis have been amicably ar
ranged. Bishop Hughes has, it seems, in some
measure compromised the points in dispute, and
Welding up the right insisted on in his celebrated
pastoral letter, has s,gni6ed his permission to the
trustees to manage their affairs as heretofore.
This is very wise and judicous on the part of the
right reverend prelate, and SHOWS that he has a
greater regard for the peace, comfort, and health o.
souls, than for the filthy lucre of this world There
be little doubt that the best policy of the Catho-
lie clergy is, to allow the people of this country tt
manage the church propertyto which eythemselves
contribute. 1t is always dangerous experiment
for the clergy to NEEDLE with secular affairs.
FoURrERlsM.-1t seems that Greeley, Brisbane,
and DR.. Channlng--a trinity OF transcendenta
christianity and benevolence-are busily engaged
In occupying the void created by the absence Of the
Father Miller mania, and going about the coun
try giving lectures association. They holding
mass meetings in various sections Of the country

their grand project for the regeranation of society,
