The first thing to be done by President Polk is.
TO fill up the vacancies created by the non-action
of the Senate upon great number of nomina-
TORS made previous to tho exit of John Tyler.
This is a heavy job bat it is probable that It Will
be executed during this week. 1t Is said that
some Foreign Ministers wil also be sent to the
Senate during tho present session. which. It IS
confidently expected. will close by Saturday next
After the adjournment. The appointments in all
tho States, will then come up IN regular order be-

As Mr. Polk .vows himself in favor of ga ju-
';ciots IN riff YOU will that he will carry
his rnicy in arranging tho tenure of office. The
month OF March will disclose the whole system.
The Senate oro to meet again to-day, when, ii
is probable Mr. E.NcaoFT's nomination will be
definitely acted upon; nnd the nominations for the
offices vacant be made. think II Is GER
tain that Gen. ARMSTRONG WI be nominated
Consul TO Liverpool Report insists that Mr.
BENJAMIN RUSH (of Pa.) will be sent Minister to
England. which post he filled twenty md

There arc several custom house offices vacan,
in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Among
them the Surveyor of Philadelphia, filled by
COOPER. tho old actor, and father-in-law of Ro-
BERT TYLER. The late Senate did no, act on his
nomination. and effort is making to get Mr..
Polk to let him alone.
Mr. BUTLER. (of XVI who on here, spe-
ciav invited. as his friends say, BY Mr.. Polk, to
be Secretary of War; is still hanging on but he
takes his electment from the Cabinet so unhand-
somely. that he may now get nothing. [.
