The Taylor Cabinet.

The President elect seems to be progressing in
the work of forming his cabinet; and every step
which he takes in the matter is marked by his cha
racter1stc discrimination, and his well known
GOODNESS and sagacity. 1t would appear that he
has made his cabinet arrangements in the same
cool and systematic manner as he would draw out
the outlines of battle; and from what he has
already done, doubt not that his labors will be
attended with as much success, in the new service
ON which he has entered, as that which followed
him In the one which he has recently left.
In yesterdays paper, we stated that he had
selected Mr. Clayton to fill the important office of
Secretary of State, and we took occasion then to
pay well merited tribute to the talents, patriot
ISM, and moderation of the Senator from Della.
ware. We have since learned that Mr.. Crttenden
OF Kentucky, will be Attorney General under the
new administration. This Is an office which Mr..
Critenden can fill without mourning any of the
unpleasaAtness which, all probability, he would
be subject to- he to be of the secretaries,
In consequence Of the return OF Mr.. Clay to the
Senate.
There Is a strong effort being made in certain
quarters to induce, or we might say compel, the
President elect to select from among cert ain names
a Secretary OF the Treasury, but we think 1t will
be unsuccessful From what we have heard, we
induced to think that that Office will be tender
ed to, and accepted by, Horace Binney, of Penn
syvanla.
Who are to fill the other important posts IN the
cabinet lie, of course, unknown at present. We
might mention the names of several distinguished
wings whom rumor has singled out; but the time
Is SO short before the whole will be known, accu-
aely and concluslvely, that 1t Is hardly worth
while to speculate on the matter. The public may
however, be certain that the selections which the
old hero will make, will be acceptable to the coun-
try, and will confer credit on the new admnstra

WEALTH OF CALIFoRNIA.In the excitement
caused by the discovery of gold in California, il
appears to have escaped attention that there are
vast pearl fisheries there, from which the early
Spanards derived an immense revenue. We
have no doubt that those pearl deposits will be
again opened by the enterprsing people who are
gong there in such great numbers from all parts
OF the United States. Pearl fishing, where the
pearl oyster is abundant as 1t is represented to be
on the coast of California, s as profitable business
as digging for gold The welknown ingenuity
Of our countrymen would soon discover means to
obtain those tire asures, much better than the old
system of diving, If proper incentive were held
out. We suppose, however, that the pearls will
remain updlstursed as long as the yield of gold is
as abundant as il was at the last accounts

MAIL RoBBER ARRESTED. Great complaints
have been made for months past, of irregularities
and constant losses of letters containing valuable
Enclosures on the mail route between this city and
Belvidere, New Jersey but, until now, all efforts
to discover the guilty person persons have been
wholly unavailing. The depredations have in
creased, well as the mystery in which they were
involved. The complaints, of course, reached the
ear of the Postmaster General, and he sent an ac-
tive and experienced special agent upon the unfor-
tunate route, who, we are happy to say, has dis
covered the den of lniquity, and got the offender
In spot where he will be likely to get his just de-
serts The individual detected and arrested is
Hampton S. Wilson, clerk in the post Office at
Pleasant Grove, New Jersey We understand
that he took several packages from the mail, and
money to the amount of about $62, on the day he
was arrested, "wednesday asD and that, among
the rifed letters found upon his person, was one
addressed to the Ne,c York Herald, in which a
sum Of money had been inclosed. Wilson was
brought to Morristown, and committed to Jail.

hibited in the management of the Post Office De-

Summary.

The news from Washington, last evening, is
highly important. 1t appears that many Of the d.
plomatic appointments have :een made, the details
of which will be found in our numerous dispatches.
The selection of foreign ministers and consuls'
appears to be from pretty fair to midding Don't
laugh at some of them A general sweep of the
leading ministers and consuls has been effected in
the first days work. Mr.. Beall, the bearer Of
dispatches from California, has reached the War
Department; but the wonderfully wise head of that
department has determined to withhold from the
public the information they convey. Mr.. Crawford
the Secretary We mention the name, otherwise
the public might have forgotten its importance.
When will men in high Office have common sense
Probably month before the day ofjudgment.

II. the Pub,,c-Reaaers and Advertisers.

To tine Pubktc-HeaderS ana Advertisers
Hereafter the double sheet of the New Yak
Herald will be published every Tuesday morning.
We have come to this conclusion, in order to ac-
commodate the vast body of new advertisers whs
are pressing forward for admittance into the CO.
lumns of that edition of our Journal The enter
prise of publishing double sheet for the benefit
of the business community, has succeeded beyond
our most sanguine expectations and although we
begin with the issue only of one such sheet week
ly, we mean gradually to extend this accommoda-
ton, by publishing similar sheet, whenever ne
cessary, twice a week, gradually increasing tho
arrangement, SO as to be enabled fully to meet the
wants and wishes of this rapidly growing city, by
the publication of double sheet every day. But,
for the present-and during the approaching sum-
mer, when the activity of business slackens-
we shall restrict ourselves to the issue of one
double sheet each week and Tuesday is fixed
upon for the permanent day of issue. Advertisers
of ali kinds will please take notice of this an
nouncement, and govern themselves accordingly.
