uImportant Announcement"

There has been a rumor ahoat in the news
PAPERS to the effect that Mr.. Buchanan would
confer the appointment of Minister to Aus
tria upon Mr.. Bennett eff the New York Her
aid. Hear Bennett:
Several Of our contemporaries, who appear
to be deeply interested in our affairs. have an.
Rounced that the administration intend 10 ap-
point in very short time, Nr. James Gordon
Bennett, as they call him, the editor Of this pa
per, to the mission TO Austria. During the
administration OF Pierce, similar notices were
published in the papers III relation TO the mis-
sions to France and England. Now, IN refer
euce TO this matter, We may be permitted to
have word to say. The President OF the
United States need not trouble himself so Tar as
10 offer the mission TO Austria TO Mr.. James
Gordon Bennstt, as some OF the newspapers say
ne intends to do Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
would never accept mission 10 when II mad
been supposed that the callbre OF Cnevaller
Webb or of fnancier Belmont had been equal.
Neither would he accept the mission to France
or England, or any other mission. he mas
been to Europe five times OIL missions TO France
England, Germany, Italy, and other parts, beng
appointed thereto and PAID by the people OF the
United States, through his own eXerrlons. On
those missions he has probably collected much
more information and effected much more good
for the people of this country, than any az do.
zen OF the present ministers abroad. He has
had quite enough of foreign missions. and thinks
that there is only one post in the government
which be would now accept. That is the office
of Secretary OF State, now so wor'hily hlled by
that sound old statesman, General Cass. We
do not wish to disturb his management OF for.
eiyn affairs. now 50 well administered, and We
hope that General Cass will remain at mis- post
during President Buchanan's administration; but
if ever the office should become vacant, we
might b. induced TO accept il in order TO have a
chance TO show to England, France and Spain
how we would conduct negotiations with Next
CO, Cuba and Central America. SIX months
after our appointment as Secretary OF State, we
would give Palmerston, Louis Napoleon and
Queen Isabella enough TO think OF, SO that they
would never again interfere in American affairs
in any part OF the continent

Thieycs' I'm pl c m e ITS.

An account appeared in the London pa
pers some months ago of a very complete H.
strument found in the possession of thief
in the metropolis for boring holes into iron
safes. Since that time much more COM
plete instrument of the kidd has been found
in the possession of returned convict at
Manchester. The instrument found ia Lon
don could simply drill a small hole through
the iron door of safe; that seized in Man
chester cuts out piece of iron at one opera
ton through which mans hand may be
inserted. The invention and workmanship
are such as might have been turn ed out only
at one of our first rate machine shops. The
instrument has been tried by Messrs. Chubb,
the iron safe makers, who found that 1t would
cut piece out of quarter.ioch iron door
in four hundred revolutions of the lever by
wh ich it is worked, or in an hour; and 1t had
cut out a piece from plate half an inch 10
thickness without being in the least Injured
or repd red inefficient for further use. a
singular fact in the case is, that in the thief s
valise, in which the latter instrument was
found, was also discovered cogwheel be-
longing to the instrument seized IN London,
and connecting the person having the one
machine with the owner Of the other. The
person in whose possession the machine was
found in Manchester escaped punishment
because he was in dwelling-house with 1t
when taken; had be been taken with IT In
the streets be could have been reached by
the Law
