The Hibernia, a fast sailer, was out a little over thirteen days when the mail left Boston yesterday afternoon. We may,therefore, expect her news early this morning.

The rumor relative to the re-organizxtion of the present cabinet acquires fresh probability and strength every day, the somewhat petulant contra- diction of the official paper at Washington to the contrary notwithstanding. Indeed, we do not ex- pect that a cabinet coming into existence as the present, can last fully a year. Asa general rule, with some exceptions indeed, we believe it will be seen that the frst cabinet of no President elected by the people, from the organization of the govern- ment, has lasted over a year, and in not a tew in- | stances its existence has beenfor a still briefer pe- | riod. This arrives from the peculiar construction of republican government in this country. General Washington was elected unanimously, but | his cabinet, formed of the two parties then in em- bryo, could not coalesce for a long time and accord- ingly it was soon dissolved. Mr. Jefferson became President as a chief of a party, and his cabinet was a little more permanent than that of his great prede- cessor, because he was the? master spirit, and all those under him received their ideas from him in- stead of communicating them tohim. Mr. Mad son’s administration was a continuation of er son’s, and had the same degree of per ein Mr Monroe occupi Pres for two terms, ina time ace and quiet, whe lines were effaced bet) he two parties. Yet lus cabi- net quarrelled, but, the necessity of the case prevent- ed them from separating in any other mode than by running against each other tor the succession before | the people. Mr. Adams’ cabinet was ‘ormed before his election by the House of Repr+ tives, and was a matter of arrangement, so that 3 tence from fortuitous circumstai went in as an unpledged President, ca- binet was accordingly split to pieces in iess thana year after his inauguration. Mr. Van Buren’s ad- ministration was merely a second edition, or ra- ther a degenerate off-shoot from that 1ron govern- ment, and dissolved in its own weakness. General Harrison was elected like General Jackson and Washington, by the popular impulses, and if he had lived, his cabinet would have quarrelled in less than ayear. As it was, Mr. Tyler came into power, and his administration took every shape and form in the course of the period whenhe held the helm. Mr. Polk has come into power by the impulse of the De- mocracy, without pledges. His cabinet is formed | of men with different views and different interests, and will therefore be unmanageable. We have no doubt that it will be reorganized before a year shall have elapsed trom the time of his inauguration. In the new arrangement of the cabinet, we are very glad to see one man named, of whom we have a high opinion, and that is Mr. Flagg. He isa mo. dest, industrious, talented man, and would make an admirable Secretary of the Treasury, better than Mr. Walker, who is an ambitious, restless, stirring, somewhat unprincipled—in politics—and unreliable man Wettrust that the President will drive his team of six horses with firmness, skill and nerve» and that if any of these horses become restive, he will whip them out of the harness, turn them adrift, and put kindly animals in their place. Tre Curna Trape.—We have lately been much amused at the attempts made by one or two of the Boston papers to show that Boston is far ahead of New York in the extent of her intercourse with the Celestials. We having published a list of vessels engaged in the China trade, under the head of East Indiamen, one of the papers made a desperate ef- fortto impugn the general accuracy of our state- ment. But we will let that philosopher run, with | the following facts. | Itis frequently the case that owners of vessels | leave it discretionary with the masters to take the | best freight that offers, whether it is for Boston or | New York; and as many of the vessels are now treighting in the East Indies, it is quite as probable that they will return to New York as Boston. We | observe in the list of our neighbor, that the barque | Sappho is put down for Boston, when it is well | known that she was loading for this city when the Rainbow and Venice left; and also that the Medo- ra, of Charleston, is stated as loading for Boston, | when it 1s fair to suppose that she is not. Our ac- | curate neighbor, too, in his list, seems to be at a Joss about the Ianthe. As our statement comprised China vessels only, we will mention that of the ar- | rivals in the United States from Canton, this year, forty-three arrived at New York, and only four at | Boston, which we consider sufficient proof that the | trade isin the hands of the New York merchants. | And not alone in the China trade do we in this city | stand uppermost on the list, but in the trade to all parts of the world also. We are every where re- | presented by the greatest number of vessels and ton- nage, and in many instances we exceed the tonnage of all the other ports of the United States putin a Jump. On this point we refer to an extract from the | official register of the commerce of Demerara, | which we give under our maritime head in to-day’s paper. But we mean to encourage Boston, notwithstand- | ing all its ill willto us. We mean to return goed for evil. She is a nice little town, full of impulse and | enterprise, and is willing to pay $3,000 to have a channel cut through the ice when her harbor is fro- zen up, in order to get vessels to sea; and if she does not break her neck some fine morning, in her race to be something, she may yet reach the title of the Liverpool of America. AFFAIRS IN THE ARGENTINE Rerustic.—We have received the British Packet, published at Buenos Ayres, of the 9th of August. It contains no particu- lar news, but characterises the recent affairs in the River Plate as most disgraceful. It is a British pa per, yet it does not spare the British for the course England has taken againsi the Argentine confede, ration. Traver to Evrore.—The steam ship Cambria, Capt, Judkins, left Boston Thursday afternoon for Halifax and Liverpool, with eighty-two passengers, including Fanny Kemble Butler. It appears by the jublished list, however, that net one of her passen- #ers 18 from the south of Baltimore, which is cer- tainly a significant fact. All southrons probably shunned her for fear of another abolition riot on board. Mexican AnD Texan News.—Very late intelli- grnee was received yesterday, from Texas and Mexico.

Infact if the moral tablishments round about the Park, we do not see why the same feeling should not operate to the same extent in Wall street, so as to break up all the banks mon. The recent developments only disclose the plun. of forty or fifty thousand dollars, by the manceuvre of the gamblers round the Park. But according to a very probable estimate, it is likely that half a mil- and choice wines. It is even said that some of these gamblers employ newspapers, and keep up tottering presses, for the purpose of getting them through those scrapes into which even the most adroit will eccasionally fall. We have no doubt, also, that this fraternity and the officers of justice are well acquainted, and thata part of their plunder is frequently used in evading as in the recent instances in this city. We do not believe, at all, that the late disclosures, melancholy and instructive as they are, will lead to any decided measures egainst the gambling establishments, or meet with proper puni-hment. UR. Regse.—The Board of Supervisors having concluded the investigation in the case of Dr. | Reese, will dispose of the matter, it is expected finally upon Tuesday, when the Board will again meet. An opinion, however, prevails, that the Board may be induced to delay action upon the sub- ject until after the election in November, from party considerations. Since the case first came up, on the 22d July, the Board have held eighteen special meetings and taken testimony ; which, after the first or second day, may be considered a Tecapitula’ tion of the facts brought before the Board. During each of these sittings, the members composing the Court—nineteen were entitled to two dollars each per sitting, which with the incidental expenses, of gas light, &e., has amounted to a considerable sum, which is to be drawn from the City Treasury. The decision in the case, involving a question which has recently created considerable excitement, is looked to with some interest. From Sr. Crorx.—Capt.

Before | the curtain arose, not a seat was to be had‘in any part of the house ; it was uncomfortably full for those who wished to enjoy the treat ; numbers in the pit were obliged to set three in two, that is, a third on the knees of two others ; the same in the second tier. The boxes were crowded at an early hour. “ The Lady of Lyons” was the first pioce. At the late hour of the evening’s performances, and the crowded state of our columns, we have not an opportunity at the present time to notice this piece as it was presented. Suffice it to say, it was never presented to an American audience in such per- fection, and was rapturously received by a cong: jon of the most talented admirers of dramatic presentation in this country, with unbounded applause.
