Prospects of Sundry O1ice-Seekers.


WASHINGTON, Friday, March IL, 1853.
The pressure upon the Departments for Of
Zee is by no means diminished, whatever as
tertions to the contrary may be made. And
upon no head of Department is the pressure
greater than upon that of the Secretary of
State Fortified, however, as he is, with
rcst experience in the disposition of the
tydls of political victory, aud large dis
elimination in deciding between the worthy and
he mwOrthy of his own household, he weathers
T de storm and bids defiance to its merciless
Fhngs, with better grace and more even tempera
ssnt than most, II not ALI Of his Cabinet colleagues
Massachusetts, has been ably represented IN the persons
OiGREEN Of The Boston Post and ALLEN, OF The Pits
kI Sun, both Of whom adopted the Scrptural inunc'
ion to provide for their own household frst-thus
voiding thcI mputatlon of being nides-beore look
NJ after their friends The former left here Naval
OHeer Of Boston, and the latter with the assurance
lat he should be reinstated Ia the Post Office al Pitts
kd-a pos, he most admirably and satisfactorily filled
p to the time he was removed by Mr. Hall, the then
lOst Master General.
The Consulsbp at Liverpool is promised
OHAwruoRSE, the biographer of Gen. Pierce,
and that at Glasgow is sought after by Mr..
n s. DoDaK, who was formerly schoolteacher
thher at kenox OF Pittsfed. He always aviolent
Wig until he left this country for England some
Two years since and his claims seem 10 be based prn
sy ON the fact that he has acted the foreign cor
respondent Of The Post some other Loco-Foco
sper In Massachusetts,. The Democrats from Massa-
shuseits who know him. deny his Democracy in toto,
and are waxing wrathy at the idea OF a Consulship
worth g. 900 year, being given to Wing renegade
weo has never yet the first LocoFoco vote they
sy Notwithstanding all this oppositioni and the
kesenings that he will be opposed in the Senate upon
cAerthan political grounds should he be nominated he
has strong hackers with fair prospect ahead of him
10 far the nomination ID concerned It, however APP
pears me that two valuable Consushps as those
Of Liverpool and Glasgow win not both be taken from
enc State and that State of the four that voted for
Gen. Scott.
In connection with the Glasgow Consulship,
. j. Rooney CRosKEY, Esq, the popular and
Universally esteemed Consul at Southampton,
named and who, in every respect, politically, com
Eereay and personally is infinitely preieraolet to Mr.
Dodge Our present Consul at Glasgow, Mr. Kellogg,
am informed has written home that no appointment
tedi upon the administration than that OF Mr. Cros'
ley, This gentleman has innumerable and very
r'cng friends and ifmerit has any weight with Mr.
Marcy would succeed But do not believe he stands
ny chance from the fact tha, there many appl
talis, and so few places to eestow upon them com
lcsdvely speaking that the Secretary oil state WIN
be compelled to give this Five Thousand Dollars Con
ssship to some applicant OF which there are several
IN waiting. who have rendered great services to the
futy, and for whom provision viii have to be made.
There 10 ss ahead however, in connection with this
e1re and to many OF we outsiders the dsaoEeasHi is
locked for with much curiosity.
There is a strong candidate here Tor the
f@t0ffc in your City, whose name have
not seen mentioned in any ofyour City papers,
As noMas w. CLARKE, ESQ, who was the Demo
sste candidate for Jadge some two or three years
sgo and who run some two thousand votes ahead OF
h ticket, 1t is urged here that he was no, entitled to
he nomination but the choice OF his party for the
1Sdgeship q, the last election and sacrificed by
lAe Convention through the insrumeniaty Of pllons
ends in order 10 secure the nomination Of the latter
h Corporation Attorney. lie occupies jus. the posi-
hos to be taken up as compromise candidate between
The opposing factions Of Storms and Waterbury whose
ore for each other al present Is something the XII
lsenny Cat order All who are here from your City
KEN to speak highly Of Mr.. Clarke, and eOneede that

Great efforts are making TO entirely exclude
ar. DIX from any psrticipancy in she patron

seaorsble positions In the git OF the Administration
