COMMENCEMENT OF THE SWEEP IN THE CUSTOM
HoUsR.-Already Mr.. Atwood, the new Surveyor,
has begun the work with the bosom of destruction,
by turning on. every one in his department, except
one, and putting in their places true blue Tyler
men, wis will be faithful to the death till the 4th
of March next. but not a moment longer.
Next week the work will begin in the other de-
partments Of the Custom House. As the alma
macs say, rain, hail and snow, and awiuy squally
weather may be expected about these times. Mr.
Towle will, we expect, be next heard from. We
should not be surprised if Isaac Hone were the
first removed, he is related to the legal function
AIRY who advised the impeachment of the President
The Custom HoUsE.-The subordinate officers
Of the New York Custom House are in as much
trouble about these days, many crabs in hot
water They seze upon the skirts of any one
who may possibly save them. Mr.. Delazon Smith,
the Tyler Ohio orator, now stopping at Towards
Hotel, is thronged with them like bees upon the
branch of an apple tree in swarming time Their
fate will soon be known.
DELAzoN SMITH Who is he? Some Of Cap
tain Tyler's Custom House friends say he is the
greatest living American orator. All we know
~
man, has come all the way from Dayton, and
wants to make speech here in New York to
Tyler meeting. But the Tylerites in this city are
shy of trying to get up Tyler meeting for The sole
purpose Of hearing Mr.. Smith. Whereupon, Mr.
Smith says he came here to make speech, and a
speech he will make, meeting or no meeting. The
great questions now, therefore, are, When! and
Where?
GREAT RAISING OF Hickory PoLEs.-We under
stand that there is to be great hckory-pole raising
at Clifton, Staten Island, to-day. One Of the finest
trees Of The forest is to be transpanted. We don't
know the precise spot but the scenery of the Island
is so beautiful in that portion, that an inappropriate
place cannot be chosen
The country in the vicinity of Clifton is indeed
most delightful. AT the Telegraph station you are
always certain of finding breeze, if there is one
blowing from any of the four quarters of the heav
ems And besides, you meet a fine old sea-captain
"a perfect I" salt"-ful of anecdote, wit and hu-
NOR, and who has more fun in him than whole
crew of your modern naval heroes. Here you can
get an iced lemonade, sherry cobbler, and seated
on the bank, enjoying the cooling breeze and the
noble sea view.
The drives are delightful on the lsand-the roads
in fine order and cool. When tired Of driving, and
with the keen appetite excited by the sea-air, by
repairing to Clifton House, you can get dinner
equal TO any ever served at the Aston House, the
best attendance, and most comfortable acc0mmo-
dalion.
LATER FROM HAYTI. The beautiful brig Maria
L. Hill, Capt Alfred Hill, arrived here yesterday
from Gonaives, with advices to the 10th ult.
10 hav
received from Capt H. it appears that the Island is
in settled state than for some time previous
to the 10TH The President, Guerrier, has SO far
given perfect satisfaction to all classes of the popu
lation; and the chiefs OF the northern and southern
parts of the Island, have sent in their submission
to the new government. Business had taken very
active turn; confidence was universally restored.
The market at Gonaives was well stocked with
all kinds Of American provisions. There was only
one arrival expected from Boston, and If her car
90 should remain out little longer it would arrive
1t good market. Coffee was very lively and pr-
ces had been keptup to high point. Prices on the
10th ranged from liz l2c. and the demand fol
logwood was great, principally for Nassau and
Jamaica, to fill up vessels laying on demurage-
prices $40 II per M.
TRAVELLING TO EURoPE.-FACTs FOR THE Own
ERs OF STEAM SHIPs.-The steam ship Acadia left
Boston last Monday with slxty-six cabin passengers
On the same day the Oxford for Liverpool, Oneida
for Havre, and Victoria for London, left this port
with eighty-four. We have reason to suppose in
addition to this that least half dozen Of those
who have gone in the Acadia hailed from New
York.
1t is fact worthy of note, that the Acadia is
mast excellent and popular steam ship, and is
sufficiently capacious TO comfortably carry one
hundred and twenty-five passengers. Yet we see
that she leaves her western depot with one half Of
that number, while our magnificent packets sail on
the same day, with one third more passengers than
the steam ships. What does all this signify9
Such facts we have given, showing this city
to be the centre OF the western travelling world,
nave been apparent enough since the first establish
ment of the steam ship lines, yet many Of those
the most interested in the business do not perceive
them. We are glad, however, that there are CAPT.
aists on both sides of the Atlantic, shrcwd enough
to see them, and are ready to profit thereby. This
summer we shall have the Great Western and
the Great Britain and their success, without the aid
of $500, 900 from the British government, will be
the means Of the organization of line Of ocean
steamers TO be run rom New York to Liverpool
that will wholly eclipse any line now in existence
Then every tub will have to stand or run on lis own
bottom
Gov. BoUcK arrived in town yesterday morning,
and put up at Towards Hetel. The Governor re-
mains in town till after the fourth.
WARM WKATHER-Yesterda set in warm again.
We now have three hot days, then a cold one,
then three extreme hot days again. Variety is
pleasing at any rate. II the heat continues to be
so oppressive, our criminal and other courts will
have TO adjourn, they do in Texas, TIL more ice
comes from the north
EUROPE AND AMERicA.-There is now regular
communication from one side of the Atlantic 10
the other every three days. Yet, another line Of
Liverpool packets is soon to be organized.
