Alleyes are at thie moment directed towards the capital of the Union. Every telegraphic des- patch from that point is eagerly seized upon, and aflords an exciting topic of criticism and comment inallcircles, The distribution of the spoils hav- ing now fairly commenced, exch appointment that 1s made and announced to the world is scanned, examined, canvassed, turned over aud over and inside out, with a degree of curiosity, interest and apxiety, infinitely amusing. Yet, notwithstanding all the sharpness and closeness w:th which every movement of the new administration 1s thus watch- ed and studied, by triends and foes, we have not observed in any quarter an attempt to subject the events and operations passing before us to the rigid and wholesome test of philosophical analysis and scrutiny. It may not be amiss, then to ex- amine this matter in the light of that plain com- mon sense philosophy which heaven has bestowed on sinners as freely as the air they breathe, but whose value is known only to the few who hap- pen to possess intelligence er industry enough to acquire the art of using 1t. We showed in our Journal yesterday, how the mystery of the new ad- ministration begins to be uutulded; aad we shall Again :ry to threw a litile more light on the subject. “ Who constructed the ealinet?” “ What were the leading objects which regulated the selection of the materials?” “ What indications do its acte, thus far, furnish of its purposes, plans and policy ? These are questions which present in- zeresting and profitable subjects of study. Nor is their solauen beyond the mathematical powers of ordinary mortals. If you only open your eyes and follow tne windings of the subject, as you would Lurdner’s demonstration of the steam engine, the mystery 1s cleared away, and the whole thing stands as clearly reveal- ed as the liberty pole on the next corner. It 18 a great mistake to suppose that the members of the cabinet were all selected seriatim by General Taylor himselt. The entire construction of the cabinet wasthe result of skilful, deliberate, and well-matured schemes on the purt of certain adroit politicians at Washington, and elsewhere, who used the popularity of the old hero—and not a few of their own unsuspecting bosom friends—in order to accomplieh their objects. Mr. Crittenden was the first choice of Tuylor, the leading member of the cabinet; but certain circumstances impelled that highly honorable and tulented gentleman to decline; and then, as if quite accidentally, Mr. John M. Clayton was called to that post in the council of the President. In the subsequent ap- pointments, Mr. Clayton, and the imfigences which dhe represents, and which he has fully con- trolled and amalgamated, had a poteatial voice. Meredith, Crawtord, Ewing, and Collamer, were not gentlemen with whose character, standing, or capacity, the President had had opportunities ot becoming acquainted. They were suggested to ‘hin, and the wisdom and propriety of selecting them as members of his cabinet were made ap- parent to him by judiciously conceived arguments. And they are all very excellent men—not particu- larly strong, however, in their own States, and not surrounded by an absolutely dazzling fame in the eyes of the country. In truth, here we have the first glimpse into the true nature of the motives and objects which regulated the construction of he cabinet. Heretofore it has been the policy of new admi- nistrations to give to the most prominent and lead- ng men of the dominant party a position in the cabinet; the object being to conciliate powerful cliques and factions. ‘The result has not alweys been prosperot Too many rivals were thus gathered about the throne; apd althougs, undoubt- edly, the meetings of the cabinet were rendered more piquant and lively, yet, on the whole, it was not a comfortable stute of affairs. Ia the compo, sition of the present cabinet a different course has been taken. Mr. Clayton 1s the “boss,” aad the other respectable, worthy, well-behaved and unas muming secretaries, are the journeymen, who will mind their own business and “ make themselves generally useful.” We think this is a good ar. rengement. At all events, the system merits a fair trial. It promises unity and harmony. It may, and probably will, prevent little bickerings and jealousies, each individual entertaining, it is to be hoped, a becoming sense of his own subordinate position in the construction of the cabinet. The scheme ot the cabinet, indeed, resembles, in some ‘Ymportant features, that on which Gen. Jackson's administration was arranged uader the auspices of the ingenious and adroit litle gentlemaa who til) arouses himeelt by political speculations in his retreat on the banks of the Hudson. So much, then, with respect to the leading principle of the composition of Gen. Taylor’e cabiuet, aud the dievation to seats 10 his council, of deveral geatle men, of whom it may be said, with perlect resyect thet compared with others who might be a) out in the ranks of the whig party, ike the mer. torious youth in “Gray’s Eley,” tary were © Alike to fortune and to fae unkuowa." ‘They have been chosen for their rewiring dispo- poi sition and modest demexnor; and we trast that, repressing all improper aspirations, they may faith- tully discharge the duties of thier respective do- partments, yielding themselevs to destiny, and the goed guidance of a clear coascience and the » The foundations of the new administration having been thus laid, the next busiaess was to mollify the wounded spirits of disappointed trends —pour balm upon the bruises of the untortunate-- and build up a strong and manageable adminis tration party. Happily, the means of acoomplishiag these benevolent purposes were at hand; and, we muet say that, so far, these means have beea ap plied with no ordinary judgment and sagacity. Influenual leaders in both houses of Congress are giving in their adhesion to the mew dynasty with remarkable cordiality. Patronage exerts its usual sorcery. But it is to the skill of the magician, rather than to the potency of his spelis, that we would now direct public atteauon. Ia all the recent appeintments there has been a definite aim at building up a strong party in Congress. Mr. Webster has quite properly been conciliated by the appointment of relatives to very luerative offices. This wise man of the east, and others, are wide awake in their generation.— “The silent sow gets the most ewill.” The Clay connection wiil be subjected to the same agreeable and satisfactory process. Senators Badger and Bell, and all others of that ilk, will be, af they are not already, entirely justified in giving o the administration patriotic and reliable support jn the House, a few tat offices in “the depart ments,” a dozen cadetships at West Point, iucra- tuve places in the customs, and sundry diplomatic appointments, judiciously diatributed, will operate like a charm. Within the last twenty years a great many dependents have grown up around your great whig party leadere, who must be pro. vided for handsomely. Little urchins in round- abouts have spreuted up into bearded young men, who are shockingly expensive. Daughters have married, and nephews and nieces have come inte existence. If the big fish caunot all be provided with buit, the small ones can each have a nibble. And in this very way will Congress be fully seoured- We rather admire this line of policy. It 13 sa- gacioxs, and discovers a thorough knowledge of the springs which regulate the legislative ma- chinery. Meanwhile, the original Tayler men—the real Simon Pures—look blue and grumble. They tor. get, that with all new administrations the great question that regulates the fate of a beggar 1s, nor what he is, or what he has done; but what he hav, and what he can do. Political patronage is like so much cash on hand. It is not to be thrown away to gratify a feeling of gratitude ; but 1s to be judiciously expended and invested s0 as to secure the largest possible return. At present, the ad- ministration are making investments in Congress stock. The outsiders, from Colonel Webb to Martin Renahan, must, therefore, possess their souls in patience, and, silently sucking their thumbs, wait for the future. That General Taylor ia cognizant of all the movements behind the curtain, we. of course, do not suppose. The very virtues of the man--his high senee of honor--his conseientious conviction of the solemn responsibilities of his position—his tlerling integrity, ofler yust 30 many inducements to designing men to make him unconsciously an auxiliary in the accomplishment of their schemes, His popularity wall be relied upoa to secure and re- tain the support of the masses, while Congress and the clues will be maoaged in the manner we have just described. The offices im the gift of the Executive will be carefully and cautiously distributed amongst influential families and political connections, and all etlorts will be made to eflect such a combination as will retain political patronyge and power in the hands of the architects who have thus tar proceeded so skilfully. A liberal and conciliatory policy will be pursued on all the great questions of the day ; and if there be any who imagine that ultra whig priucipies will be entertained and pushed by this administration, they will find themselves greatly mistaken. On the whole, we are inclined to approve the conduct of the administration. The view which we have given ot 1t# construction, and of itspolicy with regard to appointments to office, is intelligi- ble, and will enuble the reader to form an accurate judgment of its course and conduct. We give, in fact, a key Ly which the whole machinery may be unlocked and inspected at leisure. In conclusion, we have only to reiterate the expression of our confidence in the President, and to remind his cabinet that, after all, they are entirely subject to his control. Let him not be imposed on by artful exaggerations of the difficulties of his novel poai- tion. His own sterling good sense and incorrupt- ible integrity are his best advisers and counsellers. Let him alwaye follow the dictates ot his own sound head and patriotic heart, and recollect that he can meke and unmake cabinews as may best suit the advancement of his own viewsand the best interests of the country. It will be well, also, for the cabinet to bear in mind, that however shrewdly they may secure strength in Congress, and how- ever judiciously they may pension the relatives and dependents of party leaders, they muat, alter all, succeed, mainly, by earniag the suftrages of the great masses of the people, who caanot be bought, and the approbation of a free press that will not allow them to be blinded. Tur American ConscLar System.—We give, 1m to-day’s paper, 2 communication addressed to us by Rubert Walsh, Esq., United Stutes Consul at Paris, im reterence io afi article which we gome- time since published in the Herald, reflecting on the imperfect state of our consular syatem. We insert this communication, 1n justice to Mr. Walsn; but in doing so we cannot refrain from saying that Mr. Walsh has misapprehended the intent and object of the article which he conceives reflected on him. In the matter to which he reters, we did not state, or mean to state, nor had we the remotest idea of stating, that Mr. Walsh demauded or received more fees in taking care of the estate of the late Mrs. Vail, than the law al- lowed him. The article was one of a series which we had written on the same subject—the incom- pleteness of the consular system—and we used the facts in the case of Mrs Vail’s estate to substan- tiate our assertions, and maiatain the necessity of radical reform. We knew, at the time, that the Consul’s fees were not more than were allowed by law, and that Mr Buchanan, the Secretary of State, and one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, were consulted on the subject, 4nd jusutied Mr. Walsh in what he had done. We insert the communication, however, and it will be tound in to-day’s Herald. The Tribune and hing, with great flourish of trumpets, letters, and extracts of letters, purporting to convey highly exciting and interest- ing intelligence from the gold diggings of Califor- ma, of alate date. Now this 18 all humbug; for the fact 1s, that there has been no late arrival from California, and this “news,” which the Tyrt- bune publishes as fresh, is three weeks old, at Jeast. To publish such news, if news it \s, with a glaring bead, ie practising a gross imposition on the public. It is as much Slievegamon as a cer- tain letter which the same newepaper published on Irish affairs some time since, and which, perhaps, it may still remember.

If such ts the case, it the new administration will not agree to any Begotiation that has taken place on the subject, even were they disposed to agree to what Mr. Bancroft bas laid down asthe poliey which the United States would pursue, provided Enyland would abolish her navigation laws. It would net be pelitie to do so ; for the navigation laws will, no doubt, become a part of the general policy of the new administration, in connection with the tariff and other measures of importance, the whole forming a compreheusive system of legislation. Such a system cannot be matured ia a day, a week ore menth—indeed, if it be perfected by the next meeting ot Congress, it willbe well. The Postal Arrangement with England, Nsw York, March 19, 1819. Eprrox Hrrap:— As 1 understood that an arrangement had been entered into between the United States and Great Britain, relative to postal matters, you would great- ly oblige a constant reader of your widely circu- lated journal, by intormmg bim “why his letter directed to Ireland, to be torwarded by the Cunard line of steamers, was this day refused to he taken atthe lower post office, unless twenty-four cents were prepaid, alihough five cents as inland postage to Boston, were offered 2” The twenty-four cents were then letter deposited. According to the new postal arrangement with England, the postage on each jetter must be ether wholly prepaid or not paid et all, on this side of the Adantic. The American inland postage alone cannot be paid. Oly Politics. The politicians of the city ure brushing up thelr ar- mor, preparatory to engaging in tho spring campaign.

It will be seen that Mr. McGaughey, who was nominated by President Taylor as Governor o the Territory of Miuesota, has been rejected by the Senate. That office, therefore, must be tiled by another. A number | of other appointments, however, have received the sanction the Senatorial body, the details of whieh will be found below. It will be recollected that Mr. McGaughey was one of the twenty eight mem- bers of the Twenty-ninth Congress who voted against furnishing supplies to eur army duriag the recent war with Mexico. Mr. Benton, it will be seen, commenced his threatened exposé ot the admiavstration, in reter- ence to the famous Mexican Proctol, and 18 'ikely to occupy the time of the Senate fortwo or three days to come. He promises to give the affair a thorough sifting ; but the eflect of his efforts is somewhat problematical. The proceedings of the Legislature at Albany will be found below. The Senate have at length emerged from the discussion of the Albaay Basin, which has a portion of their ume for a good part of the session. Billa were also passed to organize a Coun of Civil and Criminal Juris- diction 1m the city of Brooklyn; to enable Anthony Barclay, the British Consul at this port, to hold real estate; and allowing the eity ef Albany to elect general assessors, &c. The C. de of Prac- tice was taken up, and further discussed ; ae was, aleo, a bill to repeal the act pro- viding for the registrauon of birthe, mar- mages, and deaths. After which a resolution of thanks to General Scott came up trom the As- sembly, and was unanimously cencurred in by the Senate. In the Assembly a remonstrance was received from forwarders and others in Oswego, protesting aguinet what they conceive to be extortionate charges for whartage and dockage in this city. A petition was then read from sundry merchants and bankers in this city, praying the removal of the quarantine establishment trom Staten Island. The remainder of the session was spent in the consideration of priva.e claims. The Speech of Mr Benton un the x! Protocol—The Course of the Senate, co. Wasninaton, Marob 19-10 P. M. The Hon. Mr. Benton wade, ia seoret session to-day, his threatened attack on the Jate administration. This arsoult was made on the protocol accompanying the treaty, and his speech occupied the whole day. He will not close his argument, probably, for two days. He promises to be able to prove that the protocol preceded the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican Congress, and was not subsequent to it, as appeared by Mr Poik in bis message. He gives two reasons for his present ocuree: first, because the dignity of the Senate should be asrerted; and, secondly, that we owe it tothe credit of the country to treat a weaker pation, like Mexico, with magnanimity. He maintains that the treaty would never have been ratified by Mexico, with the protocol, and that the signing of the instrament was ® monstrous assumption of power on the part of the commissioners, He alro agreed that the protoco! is in direct contravention of the treuty. and vitiates thore portions of it to whieh it refers. He charges Mr Polk and his administration with direct falsehood The whig Senators will, it is believed, remain passive in tbeafair; but the demooratic Senators are boiling with indignation They declare that Mr Benton is making this protocol a bridge to carry himover ths stream that divides the two parties, and that the first Inetalment of the price of his adhesion to the whigs was the appointment of his son-in-law Mr. Joues They denounce it as monstrous perfidy and basenoss tocall up those charges after the administration has been scattered to all parts of the Union, and when its members are no longer in a position officially to rebat the obarge. Mr. Benton will, in all probability, vote alene on his side of the Chamber. Mr. MeGavgby, of Indians, was rejected by the Senate te day on his nomination to be Governor of Minerota.

FUNDS REMAINING IN THE OLD COURT OF CHANOmAY. Mr. Witkin, from the select committee appointed at the last session to investigate the condition of the Junds remaining in the old Court of Chancery, made a detailed report. It chows that the amount remaining teoured by bond and mortgage, connected with the ‘unsettled litigations in the Court of Chancery, is the enormous sum of $1,667,000, of which $699000 ie in vested in the city and county of New York Thoereis included im this $24 542 belonging toowaers uak: Thourands of dojlars remain unclaimed in smell eune, the owners having found that it eost more to get the funds cut ofoourt than the money was worth.

Aveany, Maroh 10, 1849, RATES FOR WHARFAGE IN NEW YORK, A remonstrance was presented from the forwarder, and metchants of Oswego, against the bill incressiag rates of wharfsge and dockage in the city of New York. It congratulates merchants everywhere that the regulation of commerce in that city is vested ia the State Legisiature, so that justice can be extended toall, Its te that wharf property in the city is already valusble enough, as is proved by the fact thas the Corporation recently sold pier No. 1, East River, to individuals for $60,000, who could now obtein $65 000 yor it, That the present rates of wharfage are enough and more would be positive extravagance. They call on the State Legislature to protect the country pre- @ucers and consumers from the rapacity of private cupidity. REMOVAL OF QUARANTING, A petition was preeented from John Ward, BP. C.
