Our CHARGE 10 BEIGIuM.-The Hon. Thos. G..
Clemson sailed on Thursday last, in the ship
Northumberland, for London, on hls way to Brus-
sells.
Mr. Clemson has been the L. s. Charge at Bel
gum for several years, and negotiated a most ex-
cellent treaty with that county. We are glad to
perceive that the whg administration retain him
in his office One Of the worst features Of our TO-
reign system Of diplomacy is, making these foreign
missions mere roos,ing places for party politicians
who are entirely ignorant Of even the nature Of
their duties No individual should be appointed
TO these posts who has not had experience, and
can be Of substantial service 10 the interests Of the
nation be represents. Our secretaries Of legation,
who have shown themselves competent and faith.
full, should be promoted to chargeship, and our
charges promoted 10 resident ministers, and the
latter to the envoy grade.
We send diplomatic agents TO foreign courts to
protect our interests, and communicate TO our 20
vemmen, what il is important they should know
How ridiculous to despatch on these missions a
class Of men who are notoriously incompetent 70
perform their dutes, from want of expencnce, and
Ignorance oi even the rudiments Of the language of
the court 10 which they are accredited
The natural oofsequence is, that no soon.

ARTICLES OF LUxuRY.-From a work on
The History of the Precious Metals, recently
published in Hartford, (Conn.) wo gather the
following curious statistics: The value OF the

S27 200, 900 of Sve. Forks 81 800, 900; and
of Plate and dining service S5, 100000. One
of ho chapters of the above work is devoted to
gold hunting and in this the writer gives 1t
as his opinion that the emigration, outfit, and
labor of twenty thousand emgrants to Calfor'
MA for one year will cost the United States
S22 ,26O 900, which sum must be received in
return for expenditure before the profits can

HE RAID OF THE TIM ES
NEWPORT.
Thursday Morning April 26, IS49,

0tBy an advertisement in another column,
II will be seen that some one has recently
been guilty of a most contemplate theft, that
of stealing from the graveyard. There is
nothing quite so despicable as robbing the
tomb of its sanctity and yet there are those
who seem to think it no harm TO take flowers
from the resting place of the unconscious
dead, which hvo been placed there by the
living, as a tribute of warm affection to de-
parted worth. The living, who revere the
memory of those who have gone from them,
love to decorate the tomb, and ornament the
place that contains all that is left of the dear
one land who, having the commonest feelings
OF humanity would be guilty of stealing these
little tributes from the bosom OF sleeping NOR
tality, Anything left in grave yard should
be as sacred as if cautiously guarded by a
regiment of soldiers. Much as we admire
flowers, we should no more think of taking
them from a tomb, than we should of purloin'
ing jewery from a clay-coId finger We
speak of this matter because this practice has
tcome very common, of late, in this town.
We know of instances where persons have
laid bouquets upon the grave of very dear
friend, and in less than an hour, they have
seen individuals coming from the Cemetery,
with the identical flowers in their hands -
This is very wrong. Perhaps some have
thoughtlessly taken them away,-and If so,
these remarks will show them the gross i'm
prCpriety of such conduct. There is sane
tlty about the grave which should be respec-
ted by all, and under all circumstances and
every tiny flower should be regiously guard
ed, and permitted to bud and bloom and cast
its fragrance around the shrine Of the dead
o fitting emblem Of LIES evernescence.
Some one has recently maliciously broken
OFF four young trees just set out in the Cod
dington Grave yard,
