NOT "OFFICIAI %

gentleman, entitled to high esteem for his
talents and intelligence. and worthy of implicit
confidence IN this matter, from his exalted and
peculiar positions, this morning told us that the
British Minister, Mr.. Packenham, had actually
been recalled by his Government-had already
suspended the functions of his office, and was
only waiting for the next steam arrival TO set sail
for his home.
This, to us, and especially to timd bystan-
der, who, In peace is a very brave man, and
when war is talked Of, like the fellow in the play
"would have been soldier long ago
Butfor these epii guns"
was somewhat startling, we confess What.

intelligent informant, ever attentive to the senti-

OF ner own who reside among us, have very res~
Oily discovered that MIR. Packenham is entirely
inadequate to the great task imposed upon and
expected of him. They have seen, from the deg
bites in Congress and the editorials of newspa-
pers, that they have in this country ADLER and
more devoted and more influential advocates of
the right of Great Britain to the disputed part of
the Oregon and even " the WHOLE" than their
Minister; that leading men, claiming TO be Anne

Government stronger case than their delegated

cipal cities of the North. 1t is matter Of expe-
diency with that government; II is a measure of
peace 1t is the height Of European wisdom--s
master-stroke Of European diplomacy.

THE NAVY.

Why the Navy is held in such disrepute at
the West, may be partially gathered from the
following article from the ST. Louis New Era.
We wish all the objections were not we'll founded
The Navy has been grossly mismanaged for
long series of years, and many millions of dollars
have been literally wasted on it. 1t has been a
means of gratifying favortes and rewarding para
sites 1t is notorious that most Of the ship build
ing done for the United States has cost the gov
eminent three times as much money as the
amount of work would have cost private ndvid
uals. and the cost Of repairing and reiting ships
has been still more outrageous. The furnishing
of supplies for the navy has been a wide field for
governmental favoritism. For many years the
annual appropriations for the naval service have
varied from to 9 millions of dollars This
enormous sum of money should have been suffi
cient to have increased the navy rapidly, and to
have kept every branch Of it in perfect order and
repair. If the naval appropriations heretofore
made had been applied with fidelity ard economy.
our entire navy would now be in first rate condi-
ton for service. But the navy has been neglect
ed and mismanaged, and now that very misrnan-
agement is to be made preiext for doubling the
appropriations, and fer so arranging it that four
teen millions of dollars can be annually wasted
and squandered IN the same manner. The truth
is that no increased additional appropriations are
needed for the navy, and none should be made /;
but reduction Of such expenditures would be
far more proper The proper legislation on this
subject would be substantial reform in the man.
ner of applying and dlsbursing the millions
annually appropriated for the naval service
Economy and retTenchment are much needed IN
the naval department A frugal administration
would render the usual appropriations ample for
all the purposes for which the navy is intended
The idea Of app;opriating fourteen millions to in
crease the navy, and thus make it so large that
it would require fourteen millions annually to pay

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, to-day, very interesting and
animated debate sprung up, somewhat informally,
on the amendment proposed to be offered by Mr.
Colquitt to the proposition of MIR. Crttenden "a
nending the joint resolution of notice reported by
the Committee on Foreign Relations. A DISPOSE
ton was evhced on the part of several senator's
MesSrs Calhoun. Webster. and others-that some
expression of opinion should at once be given on the
subject before that body. The discussion, in which
Messrs. Allen. Breese, Calhoun, Cass. Coquitt,
Cri,tenden. Webster. flanagan, Pennybacker
johnson of Maryland, and Others took part, was
abruptly terminated by motion to adjourn ;
which, after division, prevailed, and the Senate
accordingly adjourned till Monday next, Mr..
Breese, being in possession of the floor, and the
whole question remaining in stntu quo.
The House spent nearly the whole day, up to
somewhere about the usual hour of adjournment,
in discussing the river and harbor bill but the
debate taking range to the Tariff question, a
point of order was raised, pending which the
House adjourned - Union.

HUNTER HILL.

We are much gratfied in being able to inform
our readers, who will all sympathse with us,
that this unfortunate man has been resoited by
the Governor, until the 7'h of February, 1847,
and that, in the mean time, it is the intention of
that distinguished officer, that his situation shall
be rendered as comfortable as his relations to so.
ciety will permit. and that he will be allowed to
work at his trade All annoying visiters will be
kept from him, and those he may wish to see
will be admitted to his presence 1t is the deter
mlnation of the Governor that he shall not be ex-
ecuted; and, in consequence, the manaces that
now bind his limbs, and the Guard that watches
over him, will both be dispensed with Public
justice, the Governor believes, demands tina,
Hill should be punished, but that punishment
should be tempered with kindness and humanity

THE RAIL ROAD.

The Bill authorising the sale of the Ports
mouth and Roanoke Rail Road passed the Senate
on Thursday with proviso, that if the State of
North Caroiua does not withdraw her suits a.
galnst the Petersburg Company. the present bill
will be void, and of no effect, if another Legis-
lature chooses so to decide. This, of course,
will send it back to the House. Whether it will
pass that body in this shape we cannot say. and
itany alteration is made, we doubt whether it will
be got through this session, as the members are
leaving Richmond hastily under the stupid and
miserable provision of the wing legislature, who
passed the Starvation Law - at the last session.
Mr.. Cox, of Chesterfield, proposed another a.
mendent to the bill, which was happily not adopt.
ed-which was that the purchasers of the Road
In Virginia should not interfere with Rivess pur-
chase in North Carolina-this was rather too
bare-faced a move, to go down, and finally it was
reinqushed.

its expenses, is TOO absurd to be entertained for
moment. Let 'he government change iis naval
administration, reform abuses, preveRt fraud and
favortism, abolish all naval sinecures and secure
the faithful application of the public money to
proper purposes, and no extraordinary appropria-
tions for naval purposes will be needed. Put tho
idle, dissipaied officers of the navy to work
make them attend actively and personally 10 the
duties OF their offices, instead of revealing on
furlough, and let the true interests of the navy
be the subject of their attention and study
and you will do much to elevate the naval Off
GERS, and render the navy useful and formidable
Such Legislation would do far more to render the
navy valuable, than prodigal appropriations and
lavish expenditures.
