[Correspondence of the Herald.) Boston, Noy. 20, 1844. Political Gossip—On Dits—Figurings—Prognos- tications-—Cliques-— Managers—- Indications—- Movements, §c. §c. - Dear Bennertr— Boston is a great city, lying “ east b’noth” from Gotham—and contains among its one hundred and edd thousand inhabitants, some very “ clever” men, as well as very many raecals, big and little, of which latter the least said the better, Now that the election is pretty much over, for this time, the various cliques of the prevailing party are moving heaven and earth for the supremacy. The interests of these cliques are by no means varied (so far, at least, as their one grand object is concerned), the first and foremost aim of all being to get the ascendancy in the good graces of the new administration, that is to be—and thereby “come in for the spoils.” The Calhoun interest (of which the late Tyler party form a very promi- nent portion,) is by no m inconsiderable here The Van Buren claimants aro few, but strong. The Cass men may be put into a half-bushel, and covered, without harming a hair on their heads. The Dick Johnsonites are obsolete—Buchanan’s friends are demented—and the remainder of the battle will be eua¥e in Massachusetts, between the two first named, who now happen to be united- ly Polkites to a man! The speculations as to who will ‘go in for their corn,” at the new crib, from New England, are not so wide in their range as occurs in some other por- tions of the country. The prominent men in the democratic party proper, are not so numerous as to require a very lengthy catalogue to enumerate them, and per consequence, they are easily to be variety of notions are uow circu- r ‘city of notions,” as to who will be who, I give you my notions ia black and white— and as I dont happen to be a lawyer, nor ‘no scamp of any kind”’—I send you my opinion with out charge, tree gratis. It looks likely then, to my view, (and [ reiterate now the expressed opinions of prominent men here of both parties) that the Caluoun interest in New England will have an ample share in the gilts from the approaching new Administration, for numerous and cogent reasons. ‘The nomination of Mr. Polk was brought about by a majority of Mr. Caihoun’s friends, in part, who would’nt ge Van at any price New Hampshire led off for Polk—and Polk’s name fairly up before the Convention, the north-eastern delegates stuck to him like pitch until he got the voice of the Convention. Gov. Hubbard wants nothing, 8o he is out of the way. Hon. Levi Wood- bury, (so says yeur Washington correspondent,) will probably go to Russia; very good, and nothing more likely, if he desires it. But Robert Rantoul, Jr., is tar more likely to go into the Treasury De- partment than Bancroft. The duties of Secretary of the Treasury would scarcely suit Mr. Bancrott, who is yet engaged upon his splendid ‘History of the United States,” and he would be much bet- ter suited wih the Collectorship of Boston, where he would have bettercommand of his time. Should the Tyler appointments be upset (as it now seems more than probable that mauy of them will be), Mr. Bancroft’s chance of reinstation as Collector ot Boston, which post he resigned after Harrison’s election, appears to be by far the best of all the persons now named for it. As Collector of this port, George Bancrott was held in high estimation, andihe certainly stands in the front so far as chances go. The present Collector « oston has proved a very excellent and proper ry al- though he is somewhat obnoxious to « tain in- terest here, from the fact that he has sen to turn neither to the right or the left, s his ap- pointment. If Mr. Williams should { over, even under Mr. Polk, his continuation 1 office would be very acceptable to a large majcrity ot all the cliques; and as he is the personal friend of Mr. Calhoun, it is quite probable that he may remain trough Polk’s administration. 3 The present naval officer of this port, Mr. Ro- berts, is not yet confirmed by the Senate. His claims are very good, however, and there is liule dyubt thay thie momination of Mr, Tyler will be sanctioned. Roberts has made himself a_ very obliging, gentlemanly, and popular naval officer— and his paper (the Times) has worked pretty efficiently during the present campaign. It has lat- terly been united with the Bay State Demoer and the old Van Buren clique, attached to the in- tereats of the latter, have thus been brought to bear in the right channel. Roberts has secured many influential friends by the course he has adopted within the last half a year, and he will undoubted. ly reap the benefit of it. ‘fg e One thing is pretty plain, under existing circum- stances, tnere will be a considerable of an over- turm among the present office-holders, and as pre- dictions appear to, be the order of the day, allow me to close with one which seems very probable, from all that can be gathered in this quarter among politicians, who are always engaged in making up cabinets, &c., for new Presidents, and who some- times hit the nail on the head. iG ed change is made in the Collectorship in Boston, which appears doubtful however, I predict that George Bancroft, or Wm. Parmenter, (of Cambridge,) the first by far the most likely, will get the post. Goy. Wood- bury will probably have a foreign mission. Ro- bert Rantoul, Jr., will Rig into the Treasury De- partment to represent New En, the Cal net without any doubt. Nat. Green will remain Postmaster of Boston, and no questions asked.— Geo, Roberts will, in all probability, be confirmed, and if so will surely hold over under Polk, as Naval Officer of this port. Roberts has ‘worked hard for the party here, and so long as “kissing goes by favor,” he deserves all he can make out of it.— Among the lesser lights B. F. Hallett is looking for Dexter’s place (District Attorney); thirty-seven different ‘prominent democrats” are all expecting Lincoln’s post, (U.S. Marshal); as many more wont get Vincent Brown’s office, (Navy Agent), and half as many more will be disappointed be- cause Seth [. Thomas (Naval Storekeeper), will “gtay put.” In the midst of all thi a ain and hauling, there is an under-current hard to work, and it is not unlikely that numerous “hums” will, in the long run, be most eseentially “humbugged” by the “humbnggers.” More anon. Yonrs, “Onp Sryis.” Murpgr.—Information having beer received here said to have emanated from an individual in the New York State Prison, that some time early in April last, a murder was committed near this place, our citizens turned out, and after two or three days search, a bod ywas feundjin the woods about a mile from the road, partially buried in a root hole. Near the body wos also fuund a black fur hat with a bull hole through it. The murder- od person had on # cotton shirt with & linen collar and bosom, but so decayed as to leave no other mark ifany was ever upon it. There was also a black silk cravat‘ around the neck. The body, although much decayed, showed evident signs of violence, and taken in connection with the clothes found in the river, an account of which was ublished some weeks since, leaves no doubt that @ most Pour and brutal murder has Laoog tg tenn ; but nothing has yet transpired to lead to the discovery of who the murdered pe was, or where frow Rumor says that there were two persons murdered at the samo time; that they were travelling Wost with a horse and pugey, and that they came iron Cleveland ov beyond — of Lake Erie, Perrysburg, Ohio. Norrnern Link or Missourt.—The St. Loms New Era says, there are indications in the lowa Convention that they wil) adopt Sullivan’s old Indien line asthe Sonthern boundary of lowa. This would be « gross violation of the constitutional boundaries of Missouri, 4 would cut off # large portion of this State. Missvuri will make war to the knife before she will submit thing of the kind, We insist on the line run by Josep! C. Browne, and established by the laws of Missouri. It will be the duty of our members of Congress to resist the admission of lowainto the Union, strenuously and vigorously, unless the line run by Brown be first recog. nized and established as the Southern boundary of Iowa. Our members should spare no pains to prevent lowa’s admission on any other terms. Suicipx.—Bridget Ranois, a chambermaid at the United States Hotel, in this city, poisoned her- self with arsenic yesterday morning, died at about eleven o’clock. She came to this city from Erie some three or four days since. She had beer employed at the Reed House, in Erie, before coming to this place, and while there go! married to aman from whom, however, she was soon separated by jealousy. On Sunday Cb 6 received a letter informing her that her husband arried again.

I have recently seen Senate Document No. 134 of the last session of the Legislature, in relationto allowances to contractors since 1836, on the New York State Canals, and it appears to me to contain some startling facts of the immense sums of money State to contractors, over and above " stipulated to be paid in their contracts ; and it may possibly lead to some of the reasons why there has been for the last few years so formi- dable a legislative lobby annually, so clamorous tor a slice at the public crib. The allowances to contractors over and above the contract prices, are stated in the aforesaid doc- ument as follows : by Canal Board......., by Canal Commissioners.

The impropriety and injustice of some of these allowances may be seen by a reference to the amount of the contracts, H ulated prices, and the ve! lowed on that amount; and it isa re- markable fact that the individuals who have re- ceived the Jargest sums are those most conspicuous in the lobby for the last few sessions; and indeed hat several of these gentlemen have held seats in the Legislature, and have probably giventheir assistance in the passage of some of A few of the individuals -seven contractors ¢ treasury of this these iniqui‘ous laws. are named below, and the amounts awarded to them and their associates, asexhibited in the afore- said docnment.

The impertection of our consular regalations is so commonly known, and has been so often the subject of serious complaints on the part of ship owners and ship master, and even on the part of high judicial authorities at home, that it is polly surprising that the matter has always been treate: with the utmost apathy by our government, and that Congress have not yet deemed it necessary to act upon a project for a new consular system, which, we understand, has now been before that body for a considerable time. 3 ao It has eften been‘said, and the principle is just, that we must avoid, us much as possible, entan- gling ourselves with the polities, and intrigues of foreign nations. Our business with them, and theirs with us, is commerce, not politics. Under this point ef view our government was probably induced to look upon our consuls as mere com- mercial agents, who, not being considered as re- gala government officers, and not being supported y salaries from the publie treasury, have only to rely upon the very moderate and uncertain fees of their office, or upon the resources of their mercam- tile pursuits. Perhaps half a dozen of our consuls abroad make trom $5000 to $15,000 a year out of their offices ; perhaps twenty of them make from $1000 to ayear. But the greatest number of them ( 156 consuls in al!) can scarcely pay the regu! expenses of keeping an office and a clerk out of what they get from their consulships. Our con- suls are, for the greatest part, merchants, depend- ing entirely upon the profits of their commercial business for their living, especially upon consign- ments trem the United States; it is, therefore, of a primary importance to them to have the good will of the masters of vessels, that they may make a Bood Teport of them to their owners ; and to de all what they can to stop by their official influence any competition of other houses dealing in the same line of business. This operates in a direct way against the very object of the consular insti- tution, which is to afford an dacth gatandronna tection to our ship masters and seamen, to promote the commercial interests of our country. __ It happens very often that the Government se! its circulars, asking from the consuls general or particular information of their Leon mens consular districts How many of our consuls send accurate and exact reports to the consular bureau at Wash- ington? and how many do not answer at all to the appeals of the government? When a paper is laid on the desk of a consul, his first thought is how much he can make out of it. If the service is a gratuitous one, much zeal and activity cannot be expected. ue Under these circumstances, it is not to be won- dered at the little dignity and respect with which the offices of American consuls are attended with both on the part of shipmasters and of the local authorities of the country where they reside. There have n instances in which a masifest uctance was shown by Jocal authorities to re- Cognise in our conowle the priviieges, Immunities, and exemptions, to which, by the important nature ot ai duties, and by the law of nations, they are entitled. The high importance of the consular office, and the weighty utility of which they could be to the government and to the country at large, are so generally acknowledged that any discussion on the sient ecomes quite irrevalent. The celebrated diplomatist, Chateaubriand, says, in his werk on the Congrees of Verona, vol. 2, page 297, the fol- lowing prophetical words: ‘Le tems des Ambas- sadeure est paseé, et celuo des consulats revenu.” Impressed with this truth, the best organized gov- ernmenta of Europe, like England, France, Aus- tria and Spain, have given their consuls a semi- diplomatic character and a respectable standing, ffowing them sufficient salaries, besides the emo- iuments of their offices, through which their con- -ulscan sustain the independence and respectability of their situation, In France a consular office \eads often to the more important functions of di- ‘omatic missions, as it is naturally thought that he extensive and thorough knowledge of public af- tairs, and the familiarity of foreign languages, ac- jnired in a consular career, are the most appropr ste qualifications for a good diplomatist and nego- etator. It is to be observed, that not only no salary is al- ‘owed by our government to our consuls, but that heir legal perquieites and emoluments are far be- tow those of all foreign consuls. Four dollars only are received by an American consul for the deposit of the ship-papers tor each vessel entered at his consulate, it matters not the description or the size of the vessel. By a wise law, intended to create some income to our consuls, and to control foreign importations, it 18 required that all foreign invoices, even for free _gocds, should be accompanied with a certificate of the consul of the district where the -hipment is made, to be admitted and entered at our custom house offices. But the characteristic carelessness of the custom house officers has ren- dered that law inefficient, as « great many invoices are admitted without the consular certificate. An American captain, before he sails in his vessel, = tor instance, for a port in Portugal, must have his papers duly legalized by the Portuguese agent, to whom he must fork out thirteen dollars. If he goes to Brazil, his papers will cost from twenty to thirty dollars. But a Portuguese, Brazilian, Bre- men, or any other foreign vessel, can freely be en- tered at our custom house without having one sin- gie line from our consuls. It is indeed to be la- mented that matters of such importance have been overlooked so long a time by the Department of State, to the great detriment of our shipping inter- ests, and of our commercial relations with foreign nations. It isto be hoped that the next Congreer, ured, perhaps, of making bad laws in one session to be repealed on the following eession, and fatigued of their base and unworthy party intrigues, and fights, will ultimately come to the determination of doing something also tor the real welfare of their countrymen, and for a better representation of their interests abroad. We would like to see our Con- suls taken trom among our best educated and re- apectable citizens ; we would like to see them suf- ficiently provided as to keep up the, respectability of their standing, withont being obliged to pursue a mercantile avocation: we would Jike to see them weil instructed with the jaw of nations; with the navigation and maratime laws; with the com- mercial regulations of Joreign nations; and finally, with foreign languages, or at least with the French ; and our country would certainly be highly bene- fitted by this change in our Gonsular arecm A Fact—Powrtr ‘Three men were at the polls in the town of Newbury, at the recent election, and voted for Henry Clay, who voted for Gen.
