NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. From Washington City. THE FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS—MATTERS DRAWING TO A CLOSE—HOW STANDS THE LIST ?—uEgsRS. DIX, WISE, GEO. SANDERS, J.C. CALHOUN, JR., CAPT. SCOTT, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wasnixcrox, May 12—8 P. M. The ccnsideration of the candidates for consulahips, it is understood, occupied the attention of the cabinet to- day for five hours, when an adjournment took place. No definite selections have yet been made formally for either missions, chargeships or consulates, but as the whole list of applicants and available persons for foreign appointments have now been gone through with, it is to be presumed the business is drawing toa close. We ex- plained the other day the plan of selections adopted: to take up each appointment and examine the merits of the different persons, striking off all but the very strongest names. In this way the whole list has been revised, and it now remains to select the particular individuals from the number of good men and true who have managed to keep their heads up under this searching examination The time and care thus taken ought to insure an excellent selection. It remains to be seen how far it will succeed, It is not intended te give publicity to any of the names, or issue any commissions, until after the whole of the foreign appointments are completed down to the smallest consulship. The work is to be turned out finished. Lome of the papers draw the isference, because Mr. Dix has entered upon his daties as sub treasurer and does not know that his name is before the cabinet for ® mission, that consequently the latter statemeat must be an error. A brief period, however, will prove the contrary. There is every reason to belleve Mr, August Belmont would have received the Chargeship to Naples if he had not withdrawn his papers and application. The reason he assigned for his course was the necessity of attending to other busine: If it should be eventually determined to give two for- eign appointments to New York, Mr. Dillaye, of Syra- cuse, will undoubtedly be selected. Mr. Charles Woodbury will receive a Chargeship, we think, if he deserves it. Mr. Clemson’s chances of going abroad, it is supposed, have been materially obscured by the acceptance of Mr. Calhoun’s son of the secretaryship of the legation to France. Mr. Clemson is a som-in law of the late Mr. Cal- houn, and probably calcufaéed his strength upon that fact. Itis, however, understood that Mr. Calhoun’s family are satisfied with the appointment of Mr. Calhoun’s son. Mr. George Sanders, we have reason to believe, will get the consulate at London. We are glad of it, and think he deserves it better than four-fifths of those who are seek. ing office. The Tennessee list for missions has dwindled down to one full mission for Govornor Truesdale. Virginia will get a full mission for Mr. Wise, and the consulate to Rio, or one equally good, for the redoutable Captain Scott. How Mr. Meade is to be provided for has not transpired. ‘The time is so near when all these appointments will re IS WEALTH.—GENTLEMEN HAVING clothing out of repair, or requiring them to be altered, scoured or dyed, can have them attended to and mado fashionable by one who has had extensive practice in new and old work. 164 Duane street, southwest corner of Hudson.

THE CABINET—THE FOREIGN MISSIONS, ETC. ‘Wasuvatow, May 12, 1853. The cabinet held s protracted session to-day upon the diplomatic appointments. Henry A. Wise will probably be Minister to Chili, and Gov. Hubbard of Maino, is likely to go to Honolulu. ‘The statement that B. F. Angel was appointed Consul at Lahaina—specially telegraphed some weeks since—was premature. He has not yet been appointed, nor is he Ikely to be. eg ae Mr. Carr is up for Consul, not Minister, to Constanti- nople. Charles Hughes, the new member of Congress from Washington County, New York, is here, taking care of the post offices in his district. President Pierce has commuted the sentence of death Pronounced against Corporal John White by the recent court martial at Fort Hamilton, to confinement with hard labor for the remainder of his term of enlistment and a suspension of pay and allowances. THE GARDNER TRIAL, Wasnincton, May 12, 1953. Inthe Gardner case to-day, Dr. Davis was recalled, and corroborated thé testimony or seer. myn. me ran tridge, that a date on one of the Mexican documents offer- ed, written in Spanish—a figure 1 with a small cypher at the right side of it, above the line of writing, and two dots under the eypher—should be translated 10th. Mr. Meiere, an experienced professor of Spanish, called by the de- fence, testified that he had translated hundreds of Mexi- can documents, and these characters were the customary abbreviation for the word primero, and should be trans- lated Ist. Col. Abbot was recalled, and identified the original of one of the letters referred to yesterday, and it was read to the jury. It was dated at Laguinillas, Sun- day, November 28th, 1852, and gives a glowing account of his visit to that region. It states that he went to La- guinillas, in company with Capt. Slocum, for the purpose of inquiring into the existence and locality ef Gardner's mines, and examined the records in the district in which the mines were situated toseo if the title could be fouad; that they had been entirely successful, and had not only visited Dr. Gurdner’s three mines, but had obtained an authenticated ooPy of the deed; that it was among the few public records which were saved in a damaged state at the time the place was invaded ; that the Mexican au- thorities had thrown all sorts of obstructions in Gardner's way, believing that if his claim should be disallowed the money would revert to themselves ; ascribed the charges against Gardner to political motives, &c. ‘John Charles Gardner recalled—Testified that the body of the petition to Manuel Verastequi, heretofore offered, also the letters signed J. C. Gardoer, of the 9th, 10th and 18th November, 1851, were not in his handwriting, but in that of Jose Vincent Verastequi, nephew aud clerk of the reiect. The defence offered to produce other letters rom Jose Vincent Verastequi, in proof of the hand-writ- ing. Objected to, and ruled out. Sir. Bradley stated that he had closed the evidence on the part of the defendant, and offered to submit the case to the jury without argument. Mr, May considered it his duty to review and argue, and decliped the offer, but was willing to limit each ad- dress to the jury to three or four hours, Mr. Carlisie was very sorry their offer was not accepted, He was perfecely willing to rest the case on the facts roved, but if they must argue he would not agree to a imitation as tu time. Mr Bradloy said he would not consent to limit himself. Three, or even six hours, would afford no sort of oppertu- nivy to give that review of the evidence which he should deem essential, if he must go inte it. He should ask of the Court instructions upon points of law, and sould submit several propositions in the morning. The Court made a note that the evidence was declared to be irrevocably closed on both sides, whereupon the Court adjourned. Government Appolniments, Bostow, May 12, 1853. Dr. Geo, B.

There had been some trouble with one of the native chiefs. named Roombo, of Little Cape Mount. He had repeatedly committed depredations upon Golah, and chiefs, who are under the tion of the govern: ment of republic. Boombo surprised the towns and villages, captured and murdered many of the inhabi- tants, and carried off a great number to be held as slaves. Every means that could be suggested was re- sorted to put a stop to his out) without effect, until the governmert iseued orders to Gen. Lewis to orgauize a military force of two hundred men to march against him, and to afford protection to tho Golahs ani Deys. 1 By the prudent management of the President, who went out with the military, Boombo was arrested and carried to Monrovia without the shedding of blood.

Dear Sir~ To secure maturest consideration of every oint of interest in the proposed now building that is intended to show the world what an American pera house may be, it appears to me that the most pablic and candid examination the design for its erection can receive, will be an important object to be gained, With *his view 1 would ask that a public competition be advertised, 1m: viting architects to prepore a design for the pu-pose by agiven day, ana that the drawings «ubmitted slatl be pub- licly exhibiled, and a selection made of the one beat adapt- ed to the public wants, from the marked expression of the public sentiment. To induce men of marked repu'ation and talent to thus compete, a premium should be offered for the best design, and one of smaller amount to that deemed next in merit: and as to properly carry out such 3 building, the constant personal anpervision of the ar chitiet would be necessary. I would further propose that the competition be limited to resideots of New York I will only ask you to urge upon the ermmities, through your powerful organ, the desirablencss of this coarse of action, and sign myself one of @ numerous class that woald greatly desire such, AN ARCHIEECE.

The history of one of the passenger cars which was wrecked at Norwalk, and so many of its inmates killed, is indeed curious. It was built about a year since, and used for the first time to convey Governor Seymour and suite from Hartford to New Haven, on the occasion of his inauguration as Governor of Connecticut. On the day following it was sent back locked and empty, attach- ed to one of the regular trains, From some cause, never yet explained, it flew off the track, went down a steep embankment, and was badly shattered. It was subse quently repaired, and in September or October last, form- eda part of the express train from thia city, which was ro badly wrecked at Windsor Locks, Conn. On thie ocea- sion it was the last car, and went off the bridge into the water, and.supk. Soverul of its passengers were killed, and all more or less injured. At Norwalk it was the second passenger car that went off the draw, the sad effects of which awful leap are too well known to require repetition. Its owners had better give it its freedom, for it bas done mischief enough. Meeting of the Shareholders of the New Haven Railroad Company. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, A. M., a mocting of the shareholders of the New York ani New Haven Railroad Company was held at their rooms in the depot in Canal street, for the purpose of hearing the anaual report of the company, and for the election of a Board of Directors, R. Schuyler, Esq., President of the Company, in the Chair. It sppears from the repor$ of the company, which was read by the Secretary, that the earnings of the company, inclusive of the Harlem line, have amounted to $806,713 19; expenses, $380,052 82, leaving a balance in favor of the company of $426,060 87, out of which is to be deducted $67,279 11 for the share in the profits of the Harlem line, leaving to the New Haven company the sum $359,881 76, out of which are to be paid the interest on debt, taxes, and other incidontal charges. SUNDAY TRAVRLLING. Above two hours of the meeting were than occupied in discussing the subject of Sunday travelling, in the course of which much long desultory talk tok p lace. A SHARMHIOLDER observed, that with regard tothe late uniortunate calamity, it would be appropriate that some expression of feeling should emanate from the meeting, which might harmonise with public epinion on tho subject. There was a sufficient frequency of trains dur- ing six days in the week; and if the discontinuance of running mail trains on the Sunday was in any way in- jurious to the commercial community, it was one that they could not help. ‘The Prmapext said, that if the Sunday night mail train was discoutinued perhaps the company would lose the mail contract anh ‘A resolution was then proposed, that in the next con- tract for the mail service, it should be worded for six days only; to which sn amendment was proposed, that committee should be appointed to examiae into the prac ticability of discontinuing mail trains, which the chair wan put to the vote, remarking that the origins! resola- tion, making the contract for six aay only, would do vay with the running of trains on the Sabbath. This endment was voted down, and the original resolation carried. At ha’f past one the meeting proceeded to ballot for directors, when the old Board. consisting of the following cscs was elected unanimously, 9,113 shares having voted:. New York—Robert Schuyler, Morris Ketchum, Jona than Sturges, Anson G. Phelps, Mihu Townsend, Hoary J. Sanford. Bridgcport—Williom P. Burrall New Hawa—William W. Boardisan, ‘Bosten—Jobn E Thayer. During the time of casting the ballot, a unanimous vote of thanks was proposed to the directors for their ac- tive co operation in biingivg into effect the resolution thag bad just been passed. «gona head AAA METS Made respecting the system of ‘A Snannttotpn said that with regard {o dead headset was promised at the last meetivg. held in New Haven, that this nuisance should be abolished. This had no’ vecn done. aud he should, therefore, move a resolution that the Superintendent, and all Conductors, report the number of passengers at ifferent stations who do rot pay the fare, oxcopt commuters; and also that all engi- necrs, brakeman, and others ia tlie company’s employ, forbidden to take any passenger free. ‘The CHainaay said that a daily report was made by the Conductors of the number of persons travelling on the rond, and when an improper ure of any privilege of such akind as free tickets was made it was cheeked by the Superintendent. Their arrangements wero similar to thore in use at Springfield, which, although they were opposed to, they had pursued, because it would have been useless for their line of road to act differently from the others. A stockholder was very bitter upon editors and such like being allowed to travel fiee on their line He saw no rea:on why every asin gl printer’s boy and paragraph writer should Le allowed to travel free. Another shareholder considered that it would be bad policy to excite an ill-feeling towards them bans f the preas, a if an accident occured they would naturally be ‘oppored to them. Another sharcholder said that it was not the editors nor tavern keepers whom they wished to stop, buta lower class of free passengers. The CHARMAN said that in giving free tickets to those connected with the pross they were only doing what was cuszomary with other lines, and likewise what wasdone by the steamboats, He tho azht it good policy to encourage editors to travel along their line of radway more than they cid, as it would coxect much ignorance that had been displayed with respect to their line and its arrange- ments. He cov ld assure the stockholders that this privi- lege was not used to any extent The SecrrTary said that tho 7ridune, in an articte of thatday, hod exhibited very gross ignorance The ques- tin of the signal had been discussed as if it was a signal of danger, and not of safety. There could not have been exhibited’ greater ignorance. Tho writer knew no mo-e of what he was writing about thana boy in the street outside. time the majority of the stockholders, who at the utmost did not exceed one hundred present, had be gun to leave, when it was moved and seconded that the i ben they adjourn should meet next year at ven, which was carvie’ unanimously.

TWENTY PERSONS DEAD AND THIRTY-SIX SCALDED- {From the San Francisco Transcript, April 12 ] The awful news reached 3an Francisco on the lith of the explosion of the steamer Jenny Lind, on her way from Alviso to San Francisco. The steamer Kate Kearney was despatched ax promptiy as possible, with physicians, &e., to render all the assistance necessary. There were 130 passengers on board the Jenny Lind, mostly from San Jose. The sad catastrophe occurred at half past fwelve o'clock inthe afternoon, when she was about thirty miles from the city, and midway between the two shores of ‘he bay. She not racing at the time. The steamer Express, on her way to Alviso, met and passed her about half an hour previous to the accident. ‘When the explosion took place a large number were just about taking their seats at the first dinner table, while others were standing around the cabin door. For- tunately there were only eight ladies on board. All those on aor, except those forward of the fire room, were um- injured. ‘ae explosion tore away tho front partition of the cabin, avd a thick mass of hot water and steam was in an in- stant prosetint into the cabin, filling itamd scalding at he" ALS!

At the time of the terrible accident five mes spravg overboard, of whom we regret to learn that but “tt pe saint fe to gir list of the passengers, it is impossible for us to give a list of as the names of those who came through from San Jose are not on the books of the boat, those only who left Alviso bei: g recorded A boat was immediately despatched from the steamer te the shore containing two men; one of them, a Mr. pushed on for the city to bring the news, while the other- procured linen and oil from Steinberger’s Ranch, and re- ae to the steamer to render all the assistance pos- sible. . For several hours the sufforera remained drifting in the open bay, without medical attendance, when at about six o clock the steamer Union, on her way from Alviso to thia city, came up with the Jenny Lind and took alt her pas- sengers on board, both the dead and the living. The Kate Kearney left Long wharf to go te the relief about half past nine o'clock. At least an hour before she started sbe was crowded with people eager to see their friends whom they supposed were sufferers on the Lind, But after a few romarks by Coroner Gray, setting forth the importance of there being but few on board in order to make room for the sufferers, the greater part of the croad withdrew. The Kate Kearney met the Uniom after she had been out about half an hour. ‘There were some six or eight physicians that tendered t! wervices. Whcn the Kate Kearney met the Union the scene om board the latter steamer beggared description. The dead, the dying and the wounded lay promiscuously. It was with the utmost difficulty that one could pass ai them. Many who were most seriously injured vulfered scarcely a murmur to pass their lips. Others were se i sfigured ax hardly to be recognized, while ices of others were hushed forever. The saddest sight was that of the little children, seven of whom, as wo write, lie dead upon the deck of the steamer. Among the leary was Mr. James Tobin, late of the firm of Tobin & Duncan, who was uninjured, ‘We regret to state that our estimable fellow-citizen, Mr. Noah kipley, of Brooklyn, with his wife and four chil dren, were among the sealded. The children died before the steamer reached the wharf Mr. Ripley died at twen- y minutes after one this morning. Mra. Ripley is very badly sealded, so much so that her life is doxpaired of. Of those connected with the steamer Jenny Lind, one fireman, andthe first and second stewards were killed, anil the cook lightly scalded. The rest escaped. ‘The fireman was the first who died, he having lived two bonrs efter the diraster.
