The President, Understand, has appointed Mr..
Sparks az Consul to Naples in the place of Mr..
Hammet now there, who has been stated to be a
brother OF DR.. Hammet, the M. c. from Mississippi,
but understand that this is incorrect, no relation

Sparks is from South Carolina, and believe is an
accomplished scholar and lingust, and has been
appointed to this post he will be OF great service
TO Mr. Folks brother in his post of Charge to Ma
pies. learn that Mr.. Polk will sail in company
with Mr.. Sparks, probably about the middle of next
month, IN merchant ship.
have also been informed that Mr.. LabTanchs
late M g from Louisiana, either is or will be APP
pointed Naval Officer at New Orleans This will
be another member OF Congress provided for, and
ity in New Orleans.
Various persons, who were seeking for and ex-
pected to be appointed TO. the Consulshp at Havaaa
are very much dissatisfied that Mr.. Polk will not
remove Mr.. Campbell, who is, as they say, whig,
and lawyer, and ought not to be there. Some
New Workers, who think that the Commercial
Emporium Is In justice entitled 10 one or two Of
their representations should be unheeded, and be-
gin to say that Mr. Polk had better take care moi TO
strengthen the Van Buren, clique too much, by re-
fusng to give any appointments to the young de-
moerace Of that State-they might be tempted to
join the regency in fighting against the adminstra
tion.
Senator Fairfield, Of Maine, is doing his "best-
est here to have all the old officers in Name re-
moved, and appolntees selected from his own
Clique, or those of his recommending, which, if
carried out, those who profess to know say, will
Some individuals from Maine, who came here on
business and have since gone awav home, told me
that they never knew how Mr.. Fairfield got into
Congress; that it was only by accident, he was
elected Governor IN consequence OF some adventi-
tious popularity he acquired by moving for an en-
quiry into the " Cey affair, and that he was on
ly elected Senator as stopgap, as he was expect
ed to 60 into the Cabinet to take care of the Navy,
(and the fact Of this expectation is said to be a
cause why Polk Is desirous of yielding to his wish
es IN regard to these appolntments) When the
Cabinet was formed without him, there was some
understanding that he was to resign to make way
for his competitors, and he is said to be trying
to induce Mr.. Polk to appoint these persons in
der to stop their mouths. We shall see if he sue
ceeds.
Mr. Ritchie is expected in his prospectus to soft
soap Blair pretty well. He first Of all refused to
come while Blair was at the head Of the Globe,
and now that Blair has been "kicked OUT" he
will say all sorts of sweet things. / presume he
will endeavor to make it appear that Blalrs telling
Mr.. Polk he would write to General Jackson and
Mr.. Wright, was an evidence of "high- minded
ness." and that his sending to Albany to obtain
edpe of the clique to retire, was very honorable
and that Mr.. Dix's supervision of the "organ" un-
der Mr.. Ritchie's charge will be very gratifying,
will be an utter failure, mentally, morally, and Pc
cuniarily.

The fate Of those three unheard of packet ships,
and e unwonted delay OF the return of the Great
Wes,ern, had excited some little apprehension for
her safety. But we find by the London News,
Tunes, and Punch, upon the counter of Shurtz k
Taylor, that the brave old ship is safely up into
port. The report of her arrival came in by the IL
O'Clock train, and great anxiety prevails for the
news from England. The administration are not
the least curious to see the returns by the Great
Western.
