NE} Friday, April 38, k34@ h intelligence to the , is now about due at Boston. ALEDONIA, Policy of the Adminisiration—Appointments in this City, Prodigious efforts have been made by certain portions of the demoeratic party, to produce a change in the custom-house and other government offices in this city, and it has been bruited about for many days, that such and such changes have taken place. According to the best accounts no, thing whatever has been determined, and from all appearances, it is not at all likely that the Collector will be removed. The whole matter, however, presents a very curious and interesting subject of examination and inquiry, not only as it concerns those who fill the offices and those who want them, but in a more especial manner as connected with the general movements and policy of the ad- ministration. This very question of the New York appointinents, may enable us to form a tolerably correct opinion as to the successof Mr. Polk’s ad- ministration itself. Since Mr. Polk was elected, he has discovered both by professed principles of action and by his conduct, that he meant to introduce a new era in political affairs in this country. The first important movement of the new President was the selection of his Cabinet. In making that selection, he lopped off the heads of the great leaders of the democratic party, by overlooking them entirely, and made up a Cabinet of men who had never occupied the position of extraordinary leaders or ever supposed to have wielded great influence beyond that of some personal friendships which they had formed in the various States. Cass, Calhoun, Van Buren, Benton, and all their chief satellites were thus al- together set aside. The next movement of the President was that in relation to some of the very particular friends of Gen. Jackson,who were placed in office by him and constituted what was called the “old Kitchen Cabinet.” At one fell swoop Mr. Polk annihilated the influence of that clique, by re- moving its heads in Washington from office at the very time when they were in full and close com- munion with General Jackson himself. Thug we saw Wm. B. Lewis—who since his removal has published letters for the purpose of showing that he enjoyed the active confidence and friendship of General Jackson,—Dr. Jones, and others, removed without the slightest compunction on the part of Mr. Polk. This was a most significant movement. It at once discovered that Mr. Polk meant to break up and destroy all the oid cliques and factions that have fattened on the democratic party in past years, and which sought to seek its life-blood from the present administration. Another decided and significant movement of Mr. Polk has been the revolution in the newspa- pers at Washington. The retirement of Blair & tives and the substitution of Ritchie & Heiss have been the work of Mr. Polk himself. Hisenergy and determination—his fixed resolve to conduct his admi- nistration on perfectly independent principles, have been the causes of this movement. It shows in the most intelligible manner that Mr. Polk is de- termined to reconstruct entirely the old machinery of the party and to revolutionize its action, con- trolling and directing it in a mode altogether difle- ferent from that adopted under the Jackson and Van Buren administrations. On looking at these acts of Mr. Polk, and after investigating the causesand the principles which are thus discovered as governing his actions, we begin to doubt very much whether any number of committees or office-begging cliques from this city, who are now in Washington, will succeed in per- suading the President and his Cabinet to do their bidding in relation to the Custom House and other offices here. The old hunkercliques here have been all along proceeding on the supposition that the same influences were at work in Washington that swayed the movements during the administration of Jackson and Van Buren, aud so they have been seeking removals and appointments on the old plan organized by the defunct Kitchen Cabinet. But every intelligent man sees that the whole course and policy of the President, thus far, is in direct op- position to these cliques and to this mode of action. It is not very likely that Mr. Polk will stultify himself—that he will build up with one hand and pull down with the other—by restoring a rapacious and scheming clique in the metropolis of the country. The great mass of independent and honest men throughout the Union, sustain Mr. Polk thus far in his bold, determined and effectual opposition to the old corrupt and intriguing cliques. 1t is very doubtful therefore whether any of these cliques Will be able to succeed by any importunity, or auy committee, or any endorsements, or any representations, in inducing the President to make the changes which they desire. The same sagacity and firmness which enabled Mr. Polk to annihilate the old Kitchen Cabinet, and to revolutionize the press at Washington, will probably enable him to refuse the demands of wandering cliques from New York and elsewhere. Tus New Post Orrice Syerem anp Cave Joun- son.—We gave exclusively yesterday in our Wash- ington correspondence, a synopsis of the instruc- tions to be issued by the Postmaster General to the Deputy Postmasters throughout the nion in July next, when the new post office system will go into operation. These instructions present a num- ber of points very important to the public ai large, and very necessary to be studied by all connected with the department. We are, indeed, encour- aged to believe, that Cave Johrson will make a very good Postmaster General, better than we had hitherto any reason to expect, so that we begin to think pretty tolerably well of him. Amongst other instructions te deputies, we find one which Mr. Johnson gives relative to the transmission of mo- ney for newspaper subscriptions, which is one of the best, most comprehensive, and most liberal, that we have yet seen. It is as follows:— “ Money for newspaper subscriptions not exceeding $10 in each case, may be paid to a Postmaster for the purpore of being paid to the publisher of a newspaper at any cther office The Postmaster is, in such case, to give to the person paying the money,a rcceipt therefor,and to ad- vise forthwith the Postmaster, wuo is to pay said amount of such deposit. Upon presentation of this receipt, the amount is to be paid over. The Postmaster receiving the amount is to debit himself therewith in his account, and the Postmaster paying that amount is to credit himself therewith in his account of contingent expenses.” ‘This arrangement is simple, liberal, and equitable, and will prove in ite practical operation, very ac- ceptable and advantageous to newspaper proprietors. There is one point, however, in connection with the new post office system, that is surrounded by some difficulty. We allude to the difficulty with the New England and New York contractors now at Washington in great numbers. A good deal of information has been given to our readers on this subject by our Washington correspondent, but we very much fear that these difficulties will increase instead of diminish. The post office con- tractors, north and east, a numerous body, insist that they should be protected against all sacrifice of property, should the contracts not be renewed, and this will occasion much trouble until Congress meets and adopts some method of conciliation, We shall wait fora few days and see the result of their present movements at Washington. ‘Tus New Corporation held another cancus last evening. Considerable progress was made in the division of the members into opposing cliques, and the ferocity with which they are prepared to eoatend for the spoils, was displayed with incre ised vigor. The cliques are now hard at work manu. facturing candidates for the government oflices, the Corporation flesh-pots being confessedly alto. gether inadequate to satisfy the ravenous appetites of the innumerable beggars. No one has been yet werk enough even to hint at the propriety of satis, fying the public by any effort for the attainment of city reform. ro we.—It has been our forture to have seen many newspapers sicken and die, presenting in their fate more or less material for sympa‘hy, ri- dicule or inetruction, but the death and second birth of the Washington Globe are in an eminent degree, amusing and instructive. We have already given the first chapter of this curious history, and revealed to our readers the causes which led to the sudden demise of the Globe that was, and the gene- ration of the Globe that is to be. We now annex the record of the closing scene: — From the Giobe of A) Mu The Globe ize and ‘its patapenicctn| (in virtue of the agreemeut which we anntx for the information of its subscribers, d,on Saturday last, into the hands of Mesara.

The interest of the cause requires that all who contributed to the election of the present Chief Magistrate should continue to give their support. Itis the good fortune of the conductor of the new official be ba to have effended any portion of those whose ion to the party is necessary to its safety und suc- cess. We have unbounded confidence in the ability, in. tegrity, and patriotism of the man who is now to preside over the’ establishment, and sball consider ourselves amply compensated fer the sacrifice we are now called onto make, if our anticipations of the continued unior and success of the democracy shall be realized by the official journal, under its new name and new auspices. We cannot express our gratitude to the democracy, to which we owe everything. F. P, BLAIR, JOHN C. RIVES.

HEI8S. ____ [From the Globe of April 15th In noticing yesterday the arraugement in progress for the establishment rf the journal under the conduct ef Mr. Ritchie,which will take the place of the Globe,we eught to have stated that the latter will be conducted fore until the arrivel of the new editor, which will be some time a in May. In the interim, however, we must be look Fortunately, there is nothing ot moment at this time to call into requisition the energy of the organ of democra- cy at Washington. The gural address presented eral batteries which ia this way a sort of truce exists between parties at this point, which favors the new attitude in which we are placed. Until Mr. Ritchie relieves us, we shall look abroad for such articles as shall appesr most likely to amuse and gratify the readera of the paper. ‘as hereto- upon somewhat in the light of a deputy. jutary principles ef the inau- im| able work to the fed would not venture to assail,and In several points of view the extracts whicn we have just given are interesting and instructive. First, it is not a little amusing to see Blair and Rives quietly confessing, in their valedictery ad- dress, the truth of everything which has been urged against them. Their servility to a faction— their utter want of manly independence—their violence, intemperance and folly, are all admit- ted. which the late conductors of the Globe make when they represent that journal as having been created by the ‘will of General Jackson!” created by the ‘‘will” of one President—sustained by the ‘‘will” of another—and now annihilated by the “will” of a third! How can it be imagined fer a moment that journalism, thus created and thus controlled, can sway the impulses or direct the sentiments of a nation? But such ever har been, and such ever must be, the “organ” of an administration at Wastington—the mere tool, the supple and weak tool of a section of a party. The valedictory does, indeed, tell the truth when it say? that the Globe “had its origin in the will of Gen- eral Jackson.” It was brought into the field for the purpose of killing eff Dofi Green, who had at- tempted to control the movements of ‘old Hicko- ty,” which it did; and now it is killed off in its iurn by old Father Ritch‘e, and is turned out upon the common with as little ceremony as the broken down hack, unable any longer to serve the will of i's master. And what an Sacknowledgment is that Under its new management it is very doubtful whether the Globe will prove a profitable specula- tion, either ina pecuniary or a political point of view. It is understood that the capital is to come from Pennsylvania, and will be furnished by per- sone friendly to Mr. Calhoun. How the influence which may then be brought to bear upon the organ is to be managed by Mr. Ritchie is yet to be seen. ‘Then again there are two other papers in Washing ton professedly attached to the fortunes of the ad- ministration—the Madisonian and Constitution— they also must get some of the patronage. The Globe will thus have troublesome competitors to deal with under the very nose of the administra- tion. What experience or capabilities, again, i may be asked, does Mr. Ritchie bring to in the troublesome position in which he has been placed? His life has been spent in discharging the duties of the organ of his party in Virginia. His range of vision has become narrow and limit ed. He has had no means cf aéquiring a practice’ Requaintance with the movements of popular opin- ion throughout the country. Mr. Ritchie is a good- natured and rather sensible man, but we are very much inclined to anticipate, that very soon after he gets astride of the Globe, he will most devout- ly wish himself back to “ old Virginny.” We beg our readers to remark the sang-froid with which poor Blair consents to occupy the place of Mr. Ritchie till his arrival in May. “ There is very littie energy required just now in the organ of the democracy at Washington!” What a com- mentary on the eagacity, the common sense, the genius, and the fidelity of a government organ! Very little energy required at a time when the foundations of the future success of the adminis- tration are to be laid—when the eyes of Europe are fixed on every movement of the government— when our foreign relations are in the most interest- ing position—when in fact the turning of every straw at Washington is regarded with anxiety throughout the Union! value and efficiency of these ‘‘government or- But such is a fair indication of the sans.” Their energy is never displayed except in contests for the spoils, or in fighting the battles of faction. Such was the “energy” of the Globe when it was controlled by the narrow intellect and petty cliques of Mr. Van Buren—‘energy” that did suc- coed in defeating the democratic party in 1840,and which, if it had not beea successfully counteracted in 1844, would have again secured triumph to the whigs. Such, then, has been the “organ” creater by the “will” of General Jackson. What that one just eceated by the “will” of Mr. Polk, is likely to be, remains to be seea. There is, however, an organ which will still control the action of the govern. ment and of parties—an organ that is independent of presidents, and administrations, and ches which owes its existence to the “will” and exe- cutes the behests of the people—and that is inde- pendent journalism.

Tue Swattow.—The report of the legislative committee, who visited the Swallow, and the tes- timony of her officers, including Pilot Burnett, be- fore the Coroner, seem to be like all other reports relative to accidents. They shaw that no one was to blame; that the boat, in some unaccountable manner, got on the rock ; and the fourteen unfor- tunate persons lost were killed or drowned, not by any carelessness on board the Swallow, butin some other way, wholly unknown, to any one. These white-washing reports, and verdicts of Co- roner’s juries, are made in haste, to say the least of them. Nationau Institute at Wasuinaton.—We ob- serve that another letter from the industrious and intelligent pen of Mr. Pickett, on the project of a ship canal across the Isthmusof Panama, has been received by the National Institute. This associa- tion is rapidly acquiring a high character, and has already collected a vast amount of useful and in- structive information on subjects of practical inter- est. Mr. Markoe, the Corresponding Secretary of the Institute, is a man of science and intelligence, aud deserves much credit for the zeal and success with which he has for come time past collected va- luable information from all parts of the world.

But it still leaves us as much in the dark as ever with re- spect to the manner in which the money has been expended—that, however, is, we suppose, ever to remain a secret. AcapEmy or Dgsicn.—The annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design opened yester- day. In some respects the exhibition presents evidence of an advance in this department of the Fine Arts, but, on the whole, we do not think, on a cursory inspection of the rooms, that it is equa! tothat of last year. There is a greater number of landscapes, some of them really good, but the per- traits are as numerous, and generally as uninterest- ingasever. Very many of these pictures ought not to have been’received at all. We shall, however, give critical notices of all the works in the exhibi- tion worthy of notice. TueaTricaL—Tae Parx.—There was a very excellent house at the Park last night. The effect of the inclemency of the weather was scen in a slight degree in the boxes, which were not so full as on the previous night, but all the other parts of the theatre were crowded to excess. The play was “* Gisippus,” one well adapted for the display of Mr. Anderson’s powers, and in which he fully sus- tained his high reputation. On the fall of the eur- tain, he was loudly called for, and, on his appear. ance, was cheered most enthusiastically, a garland of flowers being also thrown him trom one of the private boxes. To-night he again appears as “Claude Melnotte.” We must accord 10 the Park management due credit for the really admi- rable manner in which ‘‘ Gisippus” was put upon the stage. Several of the scenes elicited the mark- ed approbation of the house. Patmo’s Opgra Hovse.—Last Nigut or Anti- Gons—Dinngrorp’s Benzrrt.—This evening is de- voted to the benefit of the indefatigable Dinneford, to whose enterprise is owing the production of the classical and beautiful tragedy of ‘* Antigone,” be- fore a New York audience; und, it isto be hoped that his energies on this occasion, as well as on others of a like nature, will be appreciated by the public in a proper manner. Already it is much to be feared his energies have not been remunerated for the expense and trouble he has beenat in bring. ing out this piece, but it is to be hoped that on this occasion handsome amends will be made for his exertions on behalf of the restoration of the classic drama. This is also the last night of the appear- ance of Mr. G. Vandenhoff, on which occasion he displays the versatility of his powers to perfection intwo very opposite characters, assisted in like manner by Mies Clarendon. What greater attrac- tion is needed to draw a bumper house? Cartan Danret Bacon.—This gentleman, we learn, has been appointed Captain of the steamboat Worcester, Capt. Vanderbilt having resigned. This is an excellent arrangement, and is entrusted to a gentleman in every way deserving. Mr. Ba- con has been for many years clerk of some of the finest steamers on the Sound, and will,from his ex- perience, make himself popular. Curtovs Law Case.—In our law reports will be found rather curious sort of action for assault and battery, tried before Judge Willard, in the Cireuit Court, growing out of a blunder made by a gentleman in dancing at a ball. Sickness on Boarp THE VanpaLia.—We regret to learn that the yellow fever was raging on board this ship at the last accounts. John Overman, her carpenter, died onthe 9h ult. at Port au Prince. On the 22d there were between thirty and forty cases on board. All her lieutenants were sick at one time. On the 28:h she was on her way to Pensacola. Loss or THE SwaLtow.—[t is said that the Grand Jury, at preseat sitting in the U. States Circuit Court, will take some action on the sub- ject of the loss of the Swallow. Their juriediction in the premises is beyond question. Minitary Movements.—The New York and Brooklyn Light Guards, two fine corps, intend to visit Boston the ensuing summer, and the Hancock Light Infantry and Phalanx, of Boston, contem- plate visiting New York and Albany. Postrongsp.—Mr. Poe did not deliver his lecture on Shakespeare last night—there not eing more than between thirty and forty persons present at ihe appointed hour, which was probably owing to the state of the weather. Mau. Lertixnc.—None of the mail letting for New York and New England will be announced till the Ist of May. Exgction 1n St. Lovis.—Ber Pratte was elected Mayor on the 7th inst.

We having first published the fact, one of the papers cf that city called the statement moon- shine, and gave a different destination to the ship to what we did. That paper early yesterday dis- covered, in the following article, that we were right :— [From Boston Post, April 17) - There is now in the course of construction at East Boston, the hull ofa large vessel, which is doubtless in tended for an ocean steam ship. She wili be over 700 tons measurement. The length of her keel is 160 feet, breadth of beam 3' feet 8 inches, and depth of hold 20 feet. It will be seen by these dimensions that her keel is about 10 feet longer, her baam between 2 or 3 feet less, and the depth ef her hold 3 feet less, that the usual dimensions of » sall- ing abip of the same . 8 length what she ie minus in breadth and depth ; a princi- ple which is carried eut in the construction of Levit all steamers, openly in those with submerged Prope jers, to which class it is presumed she wiil belong.— He model in several details, entirely original.— The mein plenking of her bow, like that ot other vessels, will be inserted in the fore rabbet, but ontside and beyon: that there will be another rabbet about one foot from the extreme of the stem, and this incision will receive the forwardends of an outside line of planking which forms another bow. The after ends of this plank- ing will be scarfed into the main picnking, so that her lines will present an unbroken swell fore and eft. The extreme ol the stem, by this plan, will be the vertex of a spherical angle formed by the linesof the bow. In other words, the bow will recemble a wedge. The advanteges of this bow over all others are many. First, it gives in- creased het to the vessel forward ; second, the cut- water cannot be torn off by a heavy sea ; third, when rhe pitches heavily, having no external heac-knees, she con- not start them; and fourth, in sailing she will only cut the water once, whereas allother veasels cut the water first with the stem and then agsin with the bow. No matter how obtuse the angle may be which is formed by the side'of the stem and the planking of the bow, still it is an angle, end the water will eddy there, and of course oppose more resistance than if the bow formeda com- plete wedge. She will have about three inches swell oneach side; about 14 inches dead rise at half floor, will carry her floor well forward and be vory clean aft.— On deck she will havea full peop deck, which will ex- tend before the mainmast, and a topgellant forcastle for- ward, for the use of the crew. Her propeller will, fs haps, be after the of the Edith’s, which, it will be resollected, could be raised out of the water when she was under canvass. She will bea full rigged ship. Her topmasts, like those of the Editb, will be fidded abaft the heads of the lowermasts, so that they can be housed with- out interfering with the lower y: ; and she will also set double topsails, that is, one on the head of the lower. mast, named the lower topsail, and another on the topmast named the u ‘topeail. bly to the This vessel will Rebuilt and fitted out designs snd under the immediate supervision of R. B. Forbes, Esq.,a gentleman who has made more innova- tions on the received notions of ship builders and riggers then any other man in the United States. Heretofore he has been extremely fortunate in all his undertakings and will doubtless be so in the Liver: case. ‘The trade in which this ship will be engaged has been the theme of some speculation. Seme say that ehe is in- tended for the China trade, but we believe thet she will form the pioner of a line of steamers, between some port in the United Stetes and Liverpool. Her capacious poop will contain two splendid cabins, and a large number of state rooms for passengers. Certainly the travel between the United States and China, at present, is not so exten- sive as to require such accom! tions. We may, there. fore, guese that she will be employed to earry the Amori- can mails to Europe, and in the event of war, be turned overtothe government. For the p' se of war, she could be easly adapted. Her between decks are six feet three inches high, she peopee height, and would make an excellent gun-deck ; the poop end it forecestle offer no material obstacles te carrying cn hie tral r w . yond the reach of shot. We hazai epee by prediat- ing that she will be the most beautifull; steam vessel belonging to the Union, and that in her equipments more originality and ingesuity will be displayed than bas been witnessed in this vicinity for many years. - It thus appears that we are to havea line of American mail steamers to run between this port and Liverpool. The steam ship now building in Boston will be the pioneer to a line not only to England, but to France, to the West Indies, and, as the trade with the Celestials increases, to China. The Boston capitalists having entered into the en- terprise with spirit, another impulse is given to New York, such as has been much wanted and de- sired. These new lines of ecean steamers are all to be propelled by the eubmerged ecrew. Personal Movements. {The following persons were atWashington at the latest dates :—The Hon. W. B.

This wall is to enclese six acres—the Tem- ple bee ae the centre. It isto be fourteen feet high, six feet thick, and composed of solid stone masonry. work on this new moaument of folly hes been already commencet, and hundreds of hand mployed, in carrying it forward. The philorophy of the matter, in our opiaion, ie this, ‘The early finished, acluded by the Jeaders, that unless they had some new enterprise by which to gulithe Saints out of their money, they would soon be without any pretext for swindling them, and therefore they have commenced this work, and have told their dupes that the Lord will not appear in his glory until this rampart is finished; for it is pe hie of the Lord that it shall be completed before the ‘Temple.
