lulu, in which implicit confidence may be
placed. that the men of substance CONNER
cial, professional and landowners) there, are,
very generally, advocates Of the annexation
few of them, indeed, take part in the move
ment against the present ministry occasiOned
nominally by the failure Of the government
to put stop to the recent ravages of the
small. pox It seems to be we'll understood
that this is n sheer pretence. The leaders in
this movement are DR.. Lothrop, violent per-
sonal enemy of DIR. Judd j. D. Blair, ESQ
young lawyer, "a protege of DR.. Lothrops)
and Messrs. VIM. Ladd and Brinsmade, of the
house of Ladd 4 Co., which holds claim of
some $500, 600, or for all the unoccupe ed lands
against the government, which was formally
decided against these claimants some ten years
ago. With the exception of the parties above
named, no persons of standing have taken
part in this particular Increment. However,
a multitude who object to DR.. Judds strenu-
Gus measures for the suppression of lewdness
and intemperance, are abetting the efforts of
the leaders named above, to compel the King
to change his ministry. The English on the
islands, dreading the tendency of the bust
ness men there, of all nations, to favor their
annexation to the United States, are the par
ties taking most active measures to sustain
Dr. Judd, AMI his colleague, Mr.. Armstrong,
IN the belief that any change in the political
affairs of the islands will have tendency to
hasten the day of their more intimate con-
nection with the United States, which is there
conceived to be their sure fate sooner or later.
AN IMPORTANT P. 0. APPoIMTNENr.-We
understand that in the course of the long ses-
sion of the Cabinet which transpircd yester-
day, it was concluded to appoint VIM. H.
Crawford. p NJ, at Jefferson City, Mo. Next
to St. Louis, the best paying post Office in the
State. Thos. W. Cloney was removed to make
room for him. There has been terrible strug-
gle for this place, thus delaying change up
to this time. 1t seems to be understood that
among those pressing the claims of the sue
cessful candidate, was Colonel Benton.
THE CHINESE MIss1oN.-At length the mys-
terry shrouding this appointment is being dis
PEELED, and signs of the Governments deter
mination in the premises are discerned float
ing in the political or official horizon. There
have been from first to last perhaps twenty
gentlemen directly and indirectly pressed on
the Administration for the position, mono of
whom proved acceptable in view of the fact
that they were we'll aware that we require in
that quarter the presence of an agent Of quail
ifi,ations differing from those requisite in di-
pomatists elsewhere. Great tact, never Sleep
ing activity and smoothness of address are the
particular attributes to which we refer. In
the hunt for the right man for the particular
place, we now have every reason to believe
that it has been determined to appoint Mr..
Robert Mr. McLane, of Md, to that mission
Those who remember him as party leader
for some years in the House of Representatives,
will coincide with US in the belief that next
to General Gushing, he is the man of all others
to chatter with John Chinaman, in the midst
Of the latter's troubles. As member of the
House, he was distinguished for his readiness
and efficiency in any and every passing tur-
MOL, and for adroitness as a debater We
know of ne other gentleman who was so con-
stantly involved in every sharp and recrimin-
ating party debate without making personal
enemy of some fellow member Such how
ever, was certainly the good fortune of Mr..
Mel, which involves proof of his possession of
the so-necessary, yet so rare tact which this
mission requires.
ASrRANGE ENTHUSIASTICALLY perceive
in the proceedings of a meeting held in New
York, on the evening of the 10Th instant of
the Ingraham testimonial committee, evidence
that those composing it imagine that the Gov
here were opposed to the original
monster meeting in honor of Commander In
graham. According to statements made at
this committee meeting, John Van Buren,,
Elijah Purdy, ct al, were teegraphed to that
end, so as to keep the leading friends of the
in New York city out of the
mess" There never was a greater mistake
in the world. We happen to know that, in
official circles here-wherein the views and
feelings of the Government are always daguer-
reotyped, as it were-greas anxiety was man
Tested at the time, least that meeting should
prove failure. and thus deprive the Admin
istration of the countenance to its policy of
progress, as developed in the Secretary of
States reply to Mr.. Hulsemann, then in course
of rapid preparation.
A CLERICAL APPOINTMENT, RESIGNATION,
AND MARRIAGE.-Mr. Phillip Il. Van Wyck
of Tenn, has been appointed to a FIST class
