man Shaler OF New ORR, Consul 10 Hong hong
IN China. in place OF Thomas w. Waldron, de-
ceased. These, with others. not yet known: will
do very well for one day. The case ei Nj Weles
Is hard one Every body seemed TO be IN favor
OF his nomination and continuation. Texas and
other matters were so crowded together at the
close o, the last session, that 1t was impossible to
get time for an Executive Session. Mr.. WclleS,
after being made sure OF the appointment for long
time Is set aside for one of these Tennessee men.
There are rumors Of other appointments, IN which
however place no faith. Ii IS rumored that Amos
Kendall has been appointed Postmaster for this
City, in place OF DR.. Jones This may yet be true,
bu, the report | believe Is premature. lanes Ho-
ban, Ii Is reported, has been appointed Solicitor OF
the Treasury, IN place OF Mr. Penrose but this isnoi
efflie. Mr.. Hoban mas no; been offered II, nor
would he ACCEPT. He will probably be appointed
District Attorney for this District.
Ii IS said that Romulus VI. Saunders, OF North
Carolina, will be sent as Minister 10 Spain, IN place
OF Washington Irving, Esq.
The vacant seat on the bench of the Supreme
Court has not vet been filled AS | mentioned to
YOU some days ago. Mr.. Wilkins, lats Secretary OF
War; was nominated the last day of the session,
bur not acted upon He must be re-nominated be.
fore his name can come before the Senate.
The nominations for Nary Agent and Surveyor OF
New ork have not vet, believe, been sent m
They will be, probably, tomorrow.
The Senate will probably adjourn by Monday or
Tuesday next. They will then have been fort
night in session. If the President had acted
promptly, they might have done the business IN
TWO days This would have looked like economy.
IHcIc IL StoIy cllOdt oiiuSlI t4lHistci,
Fakenham, has sent remonstrance TO Mexico
against tho issue of Letters of Marque. This Is
probably without foundation. The duty evidently
belongs 10 the British Minister at Mexico.
Some OF the nominees sent IN to-day have
Champagne supper over their luck, and are making
themselves merry while write.
1t is said this evening that Capt. Rynders. OF the
Empire Club, has kicked out OF the traces, anc
swears that he will leave the party. lie thinks ne
is not treated with as much respect now as when
the Election was pending. 1t Is impossible, how.
ever for him TO quit the party there Is no other but
the Loco-F oco party who would accept of his ser
vices know not whether the rumor be true or
not but II has been nosed about this evening.
Senator Bates OF Massachusetts still continuesvery
i'll with inflammation of the lungs. If he survives
Tomorrow his recovery is possible, as The fever
will then have spent itself He Is said TO be still
easier than he was day or two since. The last
words he was heard TO utter IN the Senate were,
when the Texas Resolutions returned 10 the Sen
ate, concurred IN by the House,
"Wo! wo wo 10 this country"
OF the appolntmentments already made, you Will
see that Tennessee is not forgotten. A Consul TO
Liverpool, Charge TO Naples, Purser in the Ma
w, the Postmaster General, the President OF the
United States, and the Secretary 10 Sign Patents,
i,,fionai only TO appoint the great mass OF office
holders from Virginia but times are changed now.
g Westward the Star OF Empire takes lis way"
Mr.. Polk, il is believed, is no lnide, nor has he
denied the faith for he forgets not his own house
hold. Yours, RlcHELIEU.
