The Re-organization of the Public Depart- ments, While some portion of the Executive business of this government has been, for the last four years, shamefully misconducted, the management of other departments of it is entitled to almost un- qualified approval. The Post Office Department, and nearly everything under the immediate con. trol of the Pres:dent himself, appeared to be con. ducted solely for the purpose of rewarding syco_ phantiec politicians, and deranging the public in. terests; while, on the other hand, the Secretary of the State and the Secretary of the Treasury have actually sustained the whole burthen of the govern- ment on their shoulders, and have exhibited the most consummate statesmanship, energy and skill in the conduct of therr respective departments. For wisdom, manliness, and dignity, the official papers which have issued trom Mr. Buchanan’s pen have never been excelled by those of any of hi predecessors ; while, for ornate diction, and terse- ness, and vigor of style, we doubt if they have been equalled. The balderdash with which most of pointment of a perpetual commission of claims, consist of three judges, and the commission to be under the supervision of the Secretary of the Home Department. Cengress would thus be relieved ot this intolerable burden, and. justice would be meted out promptly and efficiently to individual claimants. All these changes are absolutely necessary to the proper conduct of the Executive departments of the government. We trust that they will be immediately effected, and that the coming ad- ministration will be permitted to commence their term of office under the advantageous influences of a thorough, efficient, and most necessary re- organization. Ovr Roya Corggsronpencr.—We continue in to-day’s paper the publication of the letters which were found in the bureau of the ex-king of France, a few moments after his hasty exit from the palace, Those which we have already published were read with great interest, and excited a good deal of cu- riosty. The epistle from the Duc d’Aumale to his queen mother—which will be found in to-day’s paper—contains some curious remarks concerning Cavaignac, the head of the present French go- vernment. It will be seen that the traits of cha- racter for wuich hein so eminently distinguished were observed long before he came before the world in the prominent position whieh he now ec- cupies. The Duke says to his mother that it would be idle to dream of arresting Cavaignac’s career, and that it would be difficult to avoid making him a field marshal before long. The Duke evidently had a proper appreciation of his character; but he little dreamt when he was writing that note, that the party to whom he referred would, in a com™ paratively short time, be President of the great French republic, or that the note itself would be given tothe world in the columns of the New York Herald. Birtu-pay or Oip Zac, AND AGES OF OUR OTHER Presipents wHEN Exvrcren.—Gen. Taylor was bern in Orange county, Virginia, on the 2ith of November, 1784. Of course he will be sixty-four years of age on his birth-day this year, which hap. pens one week from next Sunday. General Cass is two years older than Taylor, having been born at Exeter, New Hampshire, on the 9th of October, 1782. Mr. Van Buren wasborn at Kinderhook, the same year with Gen. Cass, viz: December 5, 1782. The following have been | the ages of the Presidents of the United States, at the time of theirelection to the executive chair: Ages. 1, Washington...... 7. Jackson. ... 2. John Adams. 3. Jefferson. 4. Madison. 5. Monroe. 6. John Q, Adami The average of the above ages is about 57} years; and it1s a curious circumstance that five of our twelve Presidents have been of the age of 57 at the time of their election. Harrison was the oldest of the Presidents and Polk the youngest, when elected. We take the ages of the former Presi- dents from that valuable work /Vilams’s States- | man’s Manual. News rrom E-vrors.—The steam ship Acadia, Caytain Stone, 1s the next steamer due at Boston. She will probably reach there to-morrow or next day, with one week’s later news. | | Arrival or THE Nortuerner.—The steam packet Northerner, Captain Budd, arrived at an early hour yesterday morning, from Charleston. She is one day behind her time, owing to the re-. cent strong northeast gales; but her mails are, nevertheless, in advance’ of the usual land convey- ance. Parpenanre sce Tur Steamer Sournerner arrived hence at Charleston on Tuesday morning—so we learn by | telegraph. Nise d git ia) Tur Steamer Evrora, hence, zrnved at Halifax on the 10th, P. M., and left, a few hours after, for | Liverpool. Mr. Polk's messoges teem, is inno wise attributa” ble to the Secretary of State, notwithstanding that allthe solid arguments embodied in the President's war messages to Congress, are to be found in Mr. Buchanan's despatch to Mr. Slidell, of Novem- ber, 1845. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, of ‘ast December, as well as his various other fiscal papers, and his management ot his department, have elevated that department to an eminence to which it never before attained. He has produced these results by his energy, skill, and persever- ance, and by physical and mental exertions al- most incredible. He has been known, for weeks at atime, never to leave the departmeat, even to see his family, and to have remained several suc- cessive nights without sleep—the activity of his mind actually preventing repose. The accumulation of business connected with the war rendered such exertions absolutely neces- sary ; but it 1s vain to expect that those labors can be sustained for aay length of time. The stream of business through the departments is choked up by an accumulation of extraneous matter. Each department (with the exception of that of the Navy and the Post Office) 18 loaded with business which does not properly belong to it, and wich it cannot transact promptly or properly, without wholly ne- glecting that which is within its peculiar province. For instance, what connection have Indian af- fairs with the War Department ? or the Land Office or Coast Survey with the Treasury ? or the Patent Office with the State Department ? How little so- ever this incongruity might have been {elt in the in- fancy of the government, it has reached such a point now that it cannot be suflered to last any longer, The heads of the three depsrtments we have named, have more than enough to claim their whole tame and attention in the immediate and proper business of their office. When Mr. Walker retires next March, the Treasury Department must, of necessity, fall to pieces, unless, in the mean- time, it be in some way relieved of the weight that crushes it. We would, then, have Congress pass laws at its next session, re-organizing the whole of the Execu- tive government. We would have a new depart- ment instituted, to be called the Home Department’ the head ef which we would have a member of the C abinet, end to rank after the Secretary of State. This officer should have control of the territories, the Patent Office, and the land surveys, to be transferred from the Department of State ; the land office, mint, coast surveys, and light- houses, from the Treasury Department; and the Indian bureau, from the Departmentof War. The revenue bureau should also be transferred from the Treasury to the Navy Department, to which it morte properly belongs The consular and diplomatic bureaus, in the State Department, should also be reconstructed on a more efficient and liberal system. The salanes of our diplomatic agents abroad should be increased» and consulates should be made salaried offices, a® recommended by Mr. Buchanan two sessions ago. Our preseat consular system is the very worst that could be suflered to exist. ‘These officers should be allowed a liberal salary, not less than two thou- sand dollars, and, atthe same time, they should be prohibited from engaging in mercantile busi- ness, as is the almost invariable pratice at present Of all the inconveniences which we have men- tioned, there is none, perhaps, the remedy ot which 18 of 80 exigeut a necessity as the Pension Office. Congress has, under the present system, fully half its time occupied every session with the consideration of private claims for pensions, and other appropriations of a like nature. These claims are scarcely ever decided on their merita; but are hurned over, (and that of necessity,) some rejected, come allowed, often without cause, and from the mere caprice of the moment. Tats is 4 rrom Brazit anp THE La Pata. | | INTELL.IGENC The British steamer ‘Alecto sailed from Rio Ja- nero on the 27th Sept., for Buenos Ayres, having on board Mr. Suthern, Minister from Eagland to the Argentine Republic. Sencr Paula Souza’s resignation of the office of President of the Council and Secretary of State, had been accepted by the Emperor, and the Count of Monte Alegre had been requested to form a new cabinet. Theatrical and Musical, Panx Tuxatnr.—The excellent piece now perform, | ing at the Park isattended with a well-deserved success, “Edith, or Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son,” may be set down among the first pieces of the mo- | dern drama. and,as performed on the Park:boards, may be numbered among the best pieces of acting now be" fore the American public. {n all its combinations, in all its details, it isexcellent. The best effect is brought out by the capital manner in which “ Edith” is pat vpon the stage. The scenes are well made up, and all the stage business accomplisbed in such a manner as to reflect great credit on the persons who have charge of it. The part of Edith, which is performed by Mrs. Shaw, is caloulated to briog out the highest order of talent. From the introduction to Dombey—* the bar. gain,” as she terms it—all through to the deHvery of the package to Florence, every scene in which sh: pears ie marked with dramatic briiliancies which chain the audience. The scene which. perhaps, should take precedence. is the one in which she holds anin- terview with Carker. at the hotel in France, whither she bad fled in order to accomplish her revengeagainst | Dombey. The acting. no less than the reading, in this corse, fos perfect study. Mr Placide, as Captain Cut- tle, is perfect in his part, and makes all upon the stage that the drematist bas made cf the character in his play. Miss Mary Taylor, as Susan Nipper, exeels ; her defence of Florence, and the reproof administered to Dombey, in the scene where she gets her “month's warning.” is as good, jn ite way, as say thing in the piece. ‘Ste. Wateot plays Toots, and but few could ex- cel him in this eccentric part. Mr. Gilbert shows off Dombey to admiration ; the stiff. proud, domineering man, with no kindly feeling, until aroused by his deep misfortunes, is well portrayed by Mr.G. Mr. Chap- man maker a decided feature of Bob, the Grinder ; and Mrs. Knight makes another in her character of Mra. Brown, We should not certaioly forget to mention favorably Mrs. Waleot’s Florence, though we cannot approve of the mode in which she dresses the charac- ter, There is too much of the woman and too little of the girl in the Florence which we here. This fault might easily be corrected. Almost every part in the piece might be favorably mentioned. The piece is destined to bave a great run. Bowery Tuxatre.—The new drama of the “ Arti- san of Ghent’ was produced last evening with great brilliancy, and the audience present were much pleased at the performance. The main inoidents of the piece are the popular disturbances and revolutionary spirit manifested in the town of (hent, in tl time of Charles the Fifth, and the cal e piece is much of it, in the heroio style. ir. N. B. Clarke, as the Artisan. acted well. The scene where he interferes between the Fle:aish macauders and the citizen sol- diers was excellent. Winans, as the privileged cob- bler, and Miss Conway. as his wife, who also exercises her privileger, were much applauded ; nor must we for- get to remark the excellent acting of E. Warden, as the old Miser. Of the scenery, tableaux. combats, dresses, &e , in this piece, we must speak in the highest terms; they are all splendid, and Mr. Stevene. the stage mana- ger, realy deserves much credit for the admirable mapner in which the piece is set on the stage. The very fumpy farce of “Teddy, the Tiler.” succeeded the drama. Mr. B. Williams is @ capital actor, and fast rising in his profession, The concert of the “ New Or- leans Serenadere,” and the drama of “ Life,” con- cluded the perfor! ees. The Serenaders are most enthi jcally app’ every evening. To-night the new dram will be repeated. and the other enter- tainments will be most interesting. Broavway Turatae —He who has not seen Forrest in “ Metamora’ has not seen the wonder and delight of the cit-Atlantic theatrical world. By the energy end activity of Mr. Marshall, the proprietor of this beautifal theatre. the rervices of our great American tragedian have been again engaged; and, by the power of Forrest's attraction, the Broadway bids fair to have fuch a euccersion of crowded bouses as it witnessed Jast season. ond Foch ay are almost without parallel in apy other theatre in our great city. It were a work of supererogation to criticise Forrest. and eapocia'ly ia it unecessary for the critic, when, if he says a piece was * affecting,” the type setter calls it “ appaliing’—If he taye depth of feeling,” the printer puts it “ delight or feeling.’’ &e — turning words of some sense aud mean- ing into # jingle of words of pure Uomeaniug nonsense.

Tueatae.—Sheridan’s play of “ Pisarro” was played last evening, with Mr. Scott as Rolla, Miss Meetayer as Cora, Mre, Woodward as Elvira, and Mr. ast of al! it characters of this most favorite picce. Mr. Scott's Rolla is a performance with which the New York theatre-goers are well acquainted. and it haslong dee: itted to be a most elegant personation. Last performance by no means detracted from this opinion, but, on the oon’ added to the repu- tation Mr Scott enjoys. Mires Mestayer's Cora was excellent, we have never seen ber act better ; her de- clamation in the seene in which sho avows her inte: tion to f° to the battle fleld and seek her lost Alonso, was really fi Fark 's Pizarro was very good Tho local drama of “ New York as It ‘and the laughable farce of “ Who do They Take Me copeluded the performances. Tbe house was well ‘the entertain: ta, eepers and others, we must ray that those patroniz- ing the National, meet with every politeness and tention from them. To-night “Rob Roy, ork Ag Is,”” and “Whe do They Take Me For” forms the Bunton's Tuxatne.—This elegant place of amuse- ment war, as usual, exceedingly well filled last evening, to witness the truly exquisite representation of “Dom- bey and Son,” in which Mr. Burton, as Captain Cattlé keeps the house in one continual roar. So trathfally does be represent the old tar, in dress, talk and move- ments, that, without contradiction, we may justly say Mr. Burton stands a No. linthis character. Mr. Ri inthe character of Toots, is undoubtedly Toots he is, and te “an opinion as isan opinion,” Jack Bumsby notwithstanding.

The “pas seul,’’ by Miss Walters, was danced with much taste, and likewise the “ Polka Nationale.” by M. Frederick and Mies Walters, was also very good The night's performance concluded with the additional extract from Dombey, called the “Capture of Captain Cuttle, or Jack Bunsby's Wedding.’ This piece isre- markably interesting, being full of laughable scenes be- tween Captain Cuttle and Mrs. McStinger,together with the funny Toots, who, after the marrige of Miss Dom- bey, cettles himself down in life by taking to his devoted arms Suran Nipper. In this piece. the great Jack Bunsby is caught and secured by the indefatigable Mrs McStinger. Jack tries to escape, but, finding it Both these pisces are exceedingly interesting, and should be seen by all who glory in such correct jd deautifal representa- tions.

Josern Guno'L's First Conc The intimation of the arrival of this distinguished band, was received with delight by the admirers of all that is beautifal in murical science ; and the public impatience to bear witners to their universally acknowledged merits, was widely and forcibly expres:ed. They have setected t! Tabernacle for their first ersay this evening, and p sent a programme for public amusement, which, for infinite taste, science and originality, has never been offered for the pleasure and gratification of the must- cal dilletante of this city. Amonget the items are the overture to “Oberon,” Gung'l’s own waltz, “Romi ”” and the variations for the flute, on airs whose sweet tones and brilliant execution, at the recent soireé, were the sub- ject of conversation for the following day, in this cl- ty, with those who charmed by his melodious strains. Another beautiful composition by Gung'l, entitled “The boy.’ Potpourri, will be executed bytheentire band. This excellent production is made up of gems from the respective operas, together ‘with waltzes and quadrilles from Lanner, Strauss, and other eminent composers. In fine.a variety of the mott uttrective and delightful pieces will be intro- duced. which ure every way calculated to develope the individual and collective capacities of this celebrated band. We refer our readers for particulars to the programme, and muet conclude by eaying that. from the proverbial popularity and ecientific skill of Gungl’s band, we bave no doubt they will command a brilliant assemblage at the Tabernacle this evening.

Tux Yours Lure: Evrxa.—A_ young Italian artist | of the above name. aged only fifteen, has just arrived in our city. His talent asa violiniet is spoken of as being of the bighest order. He has received the most flattering testimony to his talents and murical execu- tion, not only from M. Argo and M. Alex. Dumas, from both of whom he brings letters of recommendation, but in the several journals of Paris, all of which speak of this young hero of the violin in the highest terms | of admiration.

EEPROM (co It will be seen that the whigs have not fallen off in their aggregate vote in the counties and towns | heard from, but have slightly increased the same. It is probable, however, as the counties to be heard from have increased less in population than the cities and towns included in the returns received, that the falling off in the vote will be very con- siderable; but estimating the decrease at 17,000 from the whig vote of 1844, General Taylor's vote in the State will amount to 215,000, or proba- bly_75,000, above either of his competitors. Cass being now ahead of Van Buren 18,478 yotes, according to our returns, it would seem improbable that this plurality would be over- come in the counties to come in—but there are many heavy free soil sections, (St. Lawrence Co., for instance,) in which Van Buren runs far ahead of Cass. On the other hand, there are many strong bunker sections in the central and Southern tier of counties, to be heard from, in which Cass runs ahead of Van Buren. The race, however, between these two democratic candi- dates, for the plurality on the popular vote of this State, or rather which will stand next to “Old Zack,” is close and interesting--probably to re- main undetermined nati) the official canvass takes place at Albany, on the 20th inst. _ LONG ISLAND.

THE NEW YORK ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT AND VIGE- PRESIDENTS. The county canvassers meet on Tuesday, the 14th November, and the canvasses of votes for electors of President and Vice President are forwarded by special messengers to the Secretary of Siate, as soon as the re- suit is ascertained and recorded. The messenger agentes by the clerk of Cattaraugus is to (oa the return@ of Allegany and Steuben, and de- liver them to the clerk of Ontario within fifty-six hours after his appointment. ‘The messenger appointed by the clerk of St. Law- rence, is allowed three the returns of J -ffer- son and Lewis, and deliver the whole tothe clerk of Ontida. The messenger appointed in Chautauque, who is to take charge of the returns thus deposited on the main line, is required by law to “ proceed with all reasonable diligence”? to collect the returns from the several clerks’ offices from Erie to Schenectady, and deliver them to the Secretary of State. By the present mode of conveyance on the railroad, the mesrenger from Chautauque may arrive at the clerk's office in Optario, before the expiration of the fifty-six hours allowed ‘by law to the messenger from Cattaraugus to reach the same pet And he may ar- rive at,the clerk's office in Oneida before the jira- tion of the three days allowed to the messeager from St. Lawrence to reach that point, Insuch case the messenger from Chautauque should wait at each point until the full expiration of the time allowed by law to the other meseenge: od in esti ing the time, he shovlé assume that there messengers were delayed as long ashe was himeelf in getting the certified copies of the canvass, in their own counties. The State canvasrers meet to canvass the electoral votes on the 20:h of November, that being the first Wednesday after the Sd Monday of November. The Electors are to meet at the capitol, in Albany, on the third of December, at four o’clock in the afternoon ; the law declaring that they shall meet on the day preceding the first Wednesday in December. If any Electer does not appear at the capitol at foar o'clock on the third of December, his place will be supplied by the Electors who are present. If the returns are not all received by the 20th of No- vember, the State canvassers are required to adjourn from day to day for four da: this would leave only eight days to send meseengers to the several Eleo! 5 and for them to come to Albany. [a this state of things, inasmuch as the [whig) Flectora are clearly chosen by the votes of the people, it is raspeotfully suggested that they start from bome ia time to get to Albany on or before the id day of December, whether they get notice of their election from the Secretary of State, or not. This is particularly important for these who are remote from railroude, and at a season of the when the roade may be very bad ch Elzctor is also requested, without delay, to send to the Secretary of State his place of residence. in order thet the messenger may proceed by the most direct route, in notifying him of his election.—.2lb.
