The NEWLY APPOINTED COMMERCIAL AGENT AT
ST.. TBomAs.-We informed our readers, some time
since, of the appointment of Charles II. Delavan,
ESQ.,, Of this city, the very important office of
American Commercial Agent in the island of st.
Thomas. The appointment gave general satisfac-
ton at the time 1t war made, as we have no doubt
the manner in which he discharges his duties will
reflect credit on himself.
Since that period, Mr.. Delavan has proceeded to
the scene Of his labors. He left this city, on
Wednesday last, in the ship Emily, Captain Davis,
and is now approaching the field OF his duties In
selecting person to fill the place to which Mr.
Deavan has been assigned, it is of the highest i'm
portsnce that he should be practically CONNER
cial man that he should possess full measure Of
public confidence that his character should be
such as to place it above all suspicion; and that
his integrity and honor should bear the strictest
scrutiny. Such a man is MIR. Charles II. Deldvan.
He well known IN thus community. To those
who know him az we know him, his appointment
as Commercial Agent in st. Thomas has given
great satisfaction. 1t would be happy thing if all
appointments were good as this one, for the
honorable character which distinguishes, in pre-
eminent degree, the merchants of the United
States; and the national character, of which he is
the representative, will never be furnished in his
hands.
The duties which he will be called upon to per-
form are Of no light character, and ought TO be
oon6ded to thoroughly practical and high-mnded
man. well known, universally regarded, and homo
radio IN every sense Of the term. Such man is
MIR. Charles II. Deavan.

The AMERICAN MINISTER AT SrocKHoLM.-We
stated, a few days since, that Mr.. Ellsworth, the
American minister at Stockholm, had satisfactorily
cleared himself of the charge OF smuggling, which
was made against him by an evening paper IN this
city, and we congratulate the American people
the result, because our representatives abroad are
the custodians of our national honor at the courts
to which they are sent. We learn, however, that
the cabinet at Washington have been put in posses
sion OF matters which, in their opinion, justified
the recall of Mr.. Ellsworth, and that he has been
recalled accordingly We would like to know the
ground on which Mr.. Ellsworth has been recalled.
We have heard much on the subject and if there
Is any truth IN what we have heard, the proPriety
of the step taken by the administration is obvious
We think the administration owe it to the country
to give publicity to everything in their possession
concerning the matter, and we hope they will do
SO at an early day. If they do not, however, think
proper to do so, we trust that Congress will, inn
mediately after the commencement of the next
session, call for all the correspondence, and all the
facts of the case.

Fatal Policy or THE British CONVENIENT
TOWARDS CANADA.-EaH Grey, the British minis
ter, has transmitted a despatch to Lord Elgin. in
reply to his lordshps account of the recent trans
actions in Canada, in which the British govern
ment expresses the entire satisfaction of the Queen
with all that his Lordship of Elgin has done in
Canada. The British government, we are in
clined to believe, has acted in much too great
hurry. 1t would have been well for il to have
hected, first, that there are people in Canada;
secondly, that the story told by Lord Egn was
one-sided and thirdly, that if one individual
(Lord Elgin) required some consideration, at least
some millions Of people required more.
The British government has acted in this mat
ter with rash and hurried precipitation. 1t has
acted on the suppositon that the distant Bashaw
who ruled once this distant province, could do no
wrong, and that the people, hitherto-the loyal
people-over whom he ruled, ought not to
be heard. In its zeal to show this unge-
nervous and unjust feeling towards the Canadian
people-almost with the very purpose and intention
of Notifying and insulting that peope-the British
government, in its despatch by Lord Grey, goes on
to entreat Lord Elgn to retain the office which he
had expressed wish to resign. This is giving, in
advance, an answer to the petition of the people
that Lord Elgin should be removed from his office;
and il is giving the answer in an insulting manner,
without hearing, reading, considering the PEE
tiion and complaints of the people, and in such a
manner as to confer an invidious triumph upon the
Bashaw, over the people whomhe has outraged.
This conduct of the British governments, in our
view--to say the least of it-eminenty injudicious
and ill-advised. The consequence will be to throw
the Canadas more Immediately into the lap and
arms of the United States This injudicious step
this hurried insult of the British government to the
Canadian people--wlll dis-msnarchze the Canadian
people; it will destroy their minds that feeling OF
loyal attachment to the British hrone which hither-
to they have ever felt # will ALLEVIATE all their pre-
vious regal and loyal affections; and by so doing,
it will pluck from the British crown some of the
nobest Jewels which enriched it, or which could
adom any crown, namely-lhe affections of a
people. Henceforth, those people, once 80 loyal,
no longer bound by affections with one heart to
the British government and interests, will be ready
to cast off parent whom now they will only re-
gard as an injurious and insulting oppressor.
We repeat it, the advisers of the Queen have
acted most insanely in thus insulting the people,
whom it was enough that they had before i'll
treated and injured.

FATHER MATHEW AND THE PREss-PRoaRAMMR
OF PRocEEDINGs.-The announcement, on Thurs
day, in the afternoon editions OF some OF the city
papers, that Father Mathew had been teiegraphed
in the Ashburton, amused us gsod deal, as it did
many Others at the joke of those journals pretend
ing to have such intelligence before the Herald
Yesterday morning we thought we would have
split our sides, laughing the joke repeated in the
Morning Star. weekly paper, too, published
yesterday, but dated Saturday, informed its read
that he was undoubtedly telegraphed, though
let into the secret but itself, it having
peculiar sources Of information. Up to the hour
of our gong to press, however, this morning, the
Ashburon has not been telegraphed. She is not
remarkable for speed; but she is out since the 2st
of May, and may be hourly expected.
When the vessel arrives Father Mathew will re
main at Staten Island for about two days, at the
house of Mr. Nssmi,h, in order give time for his
pubic reception in New York. A committee of
the Common Council, and another of the Grand
Division Of the Sons Of Temperance, are to re-
ceve him. Thirty divisions of the Sons of Tenn
perance, have already announced their intention of
